The Assesswent Roll of Sonoma eounty for 1870-1 footed up $6,945,000, and that of Solano county $6,920,000. Under the new cash system of the new revenue law, the tax valuation of these two counties will foot up $20,000,000. In San JoaWas a little less: than’ $9,000,000; this year ibwill reach $23,000,000, , The tax valuation. of Sacramento county last ‘year Was $11,500,000; sundet the cash basisitis expesied toreach.from $24,000,000 to $30,000,000; In 1870 San Francisco was assessed at $116,375,988, while the press claims 4 val> uationin that county of $300,000,000.

These figures illustrate the inequality of a sys tem which assessed cush and mor gages at one figure, and real estate at another. ae Lone Joun Wextwottrn on Horace GreeLey.—‘‘What do you think of profusion of such violence tlooded, and the bell boys and_reporters had to climb up on chairs and window seats to avoid being swept away. “Greeley for the Presidency!

Sxarrue wants a United States Sentence of Brady. morning, the following sentence was . {Pronounced on James Brady, con. victed of burglary. Judge Caldwell . ordered the prisoner.to stamd up, . When he thts ad@resséed him: “You have been indicted by the! Grand Jury fof the crime of burglary. . To. this indictment you! plead not . guilty, You} have been tried upon . this charge by a jury of your own sé . lection, and have been found guilty, . . 1 ofthe aime as. charged in_ the in. . dictment. Have you anything to . say why judgment should not be pro. nounced upon-you?” Mr. L. W. Williams, ¢ounsel for . Brady, replied’ that there was some . cause why the extreme penalty of the . law should .not be pronounced against-the defendant. He proceedea to show that; though the conclusion arrived at by the Court and jury could not now be questioned, yet from the absenée of any aggravated circumstances, and from the fact that there had been no terror of: life or loss of property, while the minimum of punishment provided by the law would perhaps be too little, the maximum would certainly be: too severe. Judge Caldwell. then proceeded to pass sentence, as fellows: “J think myself that the maximum punishment inflicted by the statute, the extreme penalty laid down, would perhaps ‘be tod much~in this case. As the counsel for the defendant bas said, there are not those aggravated circumstances attending this case which usually attend the commission of the-crime of burglary. Of the defendant’s guilt in this case I haye no doubt, The testimony of Mrs, Davidson is certain and conclusive, and her testimony seems to be corroborated by the testimony .of one or two surrounding circnnistances which appeared upon the trial. The crime of which the defendant has been conyicted is a very henious ene; one which is of too common. occurrence in this community., It is the duty of the Court, under the law, after conviction upon a fdir and impartig / trial;to affix such a penalty as will be adequate punishment for the crime which has been commit In this case my jadgment “i that you be puni ment in the of Californi y The Clerk will, make out a commitment upon this judgment and place it in the hands of the Sheriff, who is to carry it into execution.”’ ———-—-. .oe— Recorder’s Office.

It is really to be hoped that Mr. Fitch will reconsider this. rash Yesolvé, élse the reclection of Grant, so far as Nevada is concerned, may be regarded as a foregone conclusion, Tom would do well te stick to Utah and Brigham Young; and Mr. Greeley may aptly exclaim, ' “Good Lord deliver me from my friends,"’ So says the San Francisco Post. ; Tue Pacific Rural Press says: Take a large head of cabbage, strip off the outer leaf, ind s.ip off the bud found at the root of_the leaf: Take this bud and simply Set_it in rich dirt, like any -other plant The result \.ill be a fine growth of early cabbage plants with heads larger and sounder than can be raised in the or dinary way. <>»é.,. > A srancu of the International was Signal station located there. : the commencement of the rebellion, let the South go in peace,» A President who would have ordered the generals *‘On to Richmond”’ only for defeat.

For the people, especially business men, have not forgotten how, at the close: of: the war, with gold away up in the forties, Greeley used all the force of the Tribune to compel the government to resume at once, crying daily, “The way to reach resumption .is toresume.” If Greeley had been where he, could have carried out his policy then, he would have cost this country as much by financial disaster as the war! debt amounted to.
