The incline shaft of the Allison Ranch mine is four hundred and eighty feet deep, and soon as free from water, rock can be taken from the drifte and stopes. Little, if any work, is expected to be required in repairs in the levels of the mine, as the ground is very firm. If no ‘untoward circumstance occurs, the old mine, in a few weeks, will be again in fall blast ; and. we believe the day is not far distant when it will be again giving out the riches that once gave it sin and Illinois mine, which has stood idle since last season, has again started Mime Se eerceviathice ses os is going to “usurp” powers not belongtution provides that “taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout the up under the management of the own. ers. They expect to have the water all out of the shaft in ten days, when work State.” It us giasce for s momelt-}ia the dsife will be immediately re_atthe figures. In 1867, we paid the State $20,832 97 more than was collected for county purpoggs. ‘Alameda only paid $3,712 more, Butte paid $21,000 less, Contra Costa $12,000 less, San Francisco $1,194,043 less, and San Joaquin $35,000 less. We give the amounts im round numbers, and they serve to show how much larger-the proportion of State tax is in this county than it ought to be. We have heretofore figured the county tax for last year at 95 cents on each $100, but on reference to the records we find the county tax was only 75 cents on each $100, making the amount paid by the people of this county last year to the State 25 per cent more than for local purposes, while in all other counties the reverse was the case; the larger assessment being made for local purposes. The effect is to require an assessment of property in this county much higher than in any other county in the State to meet the county expenses. This enthils heavier burdens upon our tax payers than they ought to be required to bear. Let us have lower assessments, and the Board of Supervisors ought to levy the taxes at such a rate that this result may be attained Some of the Democratic sheets are attempting to show that Grant will be a dictator, while others are equally ey ciemid in declaring that the majority of the Senate is about to averride the President and take-the government into its own hands. Hadn’t our Democratic friends better settle among themselves which branch of the government ing to it before Republicans are expecte ed to notice their statements. _ _—— > ‘Tue German Republicans of New York.. with a spirit that does them credit, pledged themselves at a late meeting to the support ef any reforms in the taturalization laws required to preserve the purity of the ballot. Rev. A. D. Mayo, of Cincinnati, speaking ef fashionable life, says :— “This tendency is led by « class of ex— travagant women, who 6xpect to go directly to Paris when they die; a dissolving view of jaded and-ever dressed young ladies; a sprinkling of passe belles and a mob of fast young men, with white neck ties about their throats and far more catawba under their vests than is good for them.” — ore ‘A PRIVATE letter received in Virginia sei iit Ne eRe tA NI le AE Sinn aS i says that unless something more is found than is now known of, crowds of men Will be walking barefoot out of that region next Fall.

Wisconsin is following Illinois in the movement to restore the gallows. Two bills are before the Wisconsin Legisiatare providing for a return to the death penalty, and one provides it for marder in the. second degree also.

McCaaley, mine, was a minor, and he sold his interest therein when he was amen illegal, and sues for the recovery of his interest.

De Bays was shot by John Holder, at Neweastle, on Sunday evening. The assassin concealed himself in a barn, and shot down his victim with a rifle, while he was bidding good bye to his wife and child. The parties bad some difficulty at Rocklin last Fall,in which Holder was knocked down, and De Bays was arrested for assault with intent to murder. He was on his way to Auburn for trial, when killed, and stopped at Newcastle to-see his family, who were visiting friends at that place. The assassin escaped. We condense this ac. ‘count from the Sacramento Union. © GRAND Master Haswell has granted a dispensation to all subordinate lodges of Odd Fellows to celebrate, in regalia and in such becoming manner as each for itself may determine, on the 26th day of April next, the semi-centennial anniversary of the introduetion of Odd Fellowship into the United States. He also requests all Odd Fellows to abstain from labor upon that day and unite with their brothers in its public observance. Tue Newport Mercury, established 119 years ago, has Benjamin Franklin’s . press, the first imported from England in 1720, and on which the first newspaper-of the country is said to have been printed 12 years later: The Mercury bears an odd contrast to the great metropolitan -dailies, typographically and’ editorially. ° It continues to be printed on an old hand press, and one rial labor, inclading sweeping the office and doing the “chores.”’ CANDIDATES FOR OFmice. — The Grass Valley people are ahead of Nevada in the matter of the charter election, one candidate for Marshal having already been announced in that burg. As yet the matter has not been agitated ‘on our streets, but in due time~candidates will no doubt be plenty. Tue Giass EatER.—Some time ago we ‘mentioned the fact, says the Folsom Telegraph, that a large New Foundland dog, at the Central Hotel, was in the daily habit of eating glass, iron, etc., and “hata great many doubted that a dog could do anything of the kind and live.
