At this time, some ofthe press of ‘this State are excited over a ‘‘mare’s nest’’ discovered inthe. civil code, and for the plrposé’ of .securing re~“"“Yief, they demand #n. extra session of the Legislatare. We do not think “®* there is mach danger of the Governor calling-the ore, and should he do-so, itis probable that other defects equally as great as the one complained of will befound, We shave always hetd tbat the codes were rushéd through with too mué bi haste, but we would much prefer to “‘en's dure the ills we have, rather than fly * ~to others we know not of.” _Hence ~ we say, let the codes go into operation and be tested until the regular tession of the Legislature. The late movement for an extra session, originated with the Savings Banks of San Francisco, and while the osten“sible object is to ‘remedy a blunder in relation tothe’ record of mortgages, the real object is, we think, to avoid the taxes which the Supreme Court has decided. these banks must pay. Section 2,987 of the civil code ‘is the part of the law to which objection is made, and under it is claimed that it will be unsafe either to buy or loan money on réal estate after the 1st of Jatuary when the new codes go into effect. The section reads as follows: A mortgagee is allowed, from the date of the mortage, one day for ev+ ery twenty miles of the distance be-tween his residence and ‘the: County Recorder’s office where suchmprt-gage ought by law-to be record during such time the mortgag the same effect as if recordd, This is » bad provision of law,jand inconsistent with some other prévisions of the same code,+which _provide-that no instrument ~ effecting real estate is notice to third parties Nhe se ee AO NE AB 2 RE SN RS The Grass Valley Union. comments upon the county indebtedness und reflects ‘npon the. Auditing Board, which isthe Board of Supervisors. At the outeét we will say that the majority of the Board are Democrats, and that we have no desite to shield them-or any other officer of the county,*from just criticism. But when the facts are fully understood, we ‘think the taxpayers will understand that the Auditing ‘Board are not to blamé for the increase of indebtedness. It is.true that the last report ‘shows # total indebtedness of $101,468 58, but those who buy scrip unis now worth 98 cent on the dollar. The.xeason of the apparent large indebtedness, is this: The collection of reveriue has been postponed sonie seven weeks by the new code, Heretofore taxes were collected in October and became delinquent the last . of November. Now no taxes -are collected until November and the delinqnent list is not published until January. Heretofore in the November statement the large amount of property tax paid in during October was included in the November statement-as cash in the treasury, and went to decrease the indebtedness. This explanation accounts for the large showing this month. We think, without reference to. the reports, that the indeptedness at the November. term ahout a year ago, after deduct-. ing the October payments, was over $91,000. At the end of the fiscal year after the revenue of the year was paid in March last, the indebtedness was $80,728 29. By a comparison of this amount with the end of the fiscal year, next March, a fair conelusion will be arrived at. The debt. will be reduced nearly one-half by the revenue of this year. We know thit all accounts are rigidly examined bythe Board, and the greatpenditures. The charge for attending court at Truckee could not well be avoided. ~The court had been apderstand the cause, and county scrip . lately on the bank of the -Missouri river beneath the bluff west of the railroad bridge so says the Kansas City Times. It will be understood that at this point the rvad is very natrow and is bounded upon the north by the~ river bank, and upon the south by the track of the Missouri Pacifie Railrdad. The. river bank is covered by a Jgrge quantity of manure and litter hauled there from various portions of the city. The incident was witnédsed by a few laborers who were at work above the place of accident. The son of Mr. T. B. Clark, aged”.about fourteen years, was driximg a spring wagon . drawn by one horse from near Arnold station to.West Kansas. _ He had crossed the bridge and was driving rapidly around the river road to train from Atchisgn came suddenly around the corner of the bluff. Before young. Clurk could jump out and hold his horse the train came gliding rapidly toward them, passiug not more than twenty feet from them. There were seated in the wagon Mrs. Clark and her two children, one’s girl of ten, the other a child of four years. The horse, »terrified at the approaching locomotive, backed and reared, at the same time pushing the wagon over the embankment into the manure where he became momentarily checked by the wheels sinking into the soft debris. It was a critical moment for the family. Had the horse been able to have backed further he would have undoubtedly precipitated the whole outfit down into the rushing current below. During this momentary -pause}—young Clark, with remarkable presence of mind, pushed his mother ont into the dirt, and then the child after her, while his sister jumped out nerself. Then ‘he est care taken to keep down the ex-. sprang out and seized. the horse’s head, just in time to hold it while.a switch engine, which was closely following the train, passed along until filed for record. The provision . Pointed there by Judge Reardan, . thé track. A minute later and the undoubtedly opens the way to fraud, who, on being called away, made arhorse, uncontrolled, would have because it would enable persons to . Tangements with Judge Ramage to. backed down into the river, and all borrow upon the same property ‘hold court. When such sessions are . would have been swept away. in the ‘twice. For instance, in Nevada . OFdered the law Yequires ‘‘officers of . current. Mrs. Clark swooned from county, man owns property, and {the county who are requiredto attend . the shock, but-by the assistance of here a mortgage-upon that property should be recorded. He goes to San Francisco, say 200 miles and borrows $2,000 for which he executes a mortgage. The man who lends the money has ten days to pat his mortgage on record, and during all that time it has the same effect as if recorded.— This gives the party who seoured the money ten days, during which time -he may secure new loans:or sell his property, and the subsequent lender or purchaser would-be the sufferer. Hereafter’all loans ‘made have been preceded first by a search of the records. No public records afford evidence‘that property is unincum‘-bered. Of course in cases where fraud could be shown, the incumberance upon or conveyance of property would be void; but the great difficulty would be to prove the fraud. This provision was passed in the interest of San Francisco money lenders in order to protect such as were lending money upon the farms and ranches jin the interior, as it makes their mortgages good from the “time ef the execution. . The law is a bad One and ought to he repealed; but there are many other provisions which are no doubt equally objectionable, as will be found after the codes are published. To call the Legislature together to remedy a single defect, would be -a foolish piece of business. Let the, people “\. suffer the evils for awhile, amd by time of the meeting of the next Legislature other defects will be de~ ‘ veloped after the practical workings of the code meiaonininet, and then all the evils can bexemoved., ° nw Tur latest reptile story comes from Virginia, in which State a snake was recently killed with t¥ ‘J heads .perfeetiy developed -in every respect, and-so -attached to the body . as to render either or botb available for sustenance and detense. i © For a frank man commend us to the gentleman in Springfield, Mass. » who apnounces that the fire in his. block the other day was so clearly duetto his. negligence that he does not intend ta cail on the insurance . *t 4 Proper. height. that the wires break the sound waves / eompanies to make good his logs. ~ Caitrornta-‘made. blankets are ex. -hibited in the show windows of retail stores on Broadway, New York. ‘The ladies declare they are ‘‘perfect~ dy splendid.’’ upon the court to be present” with the records, ete. The County Clerk had forwarded the records and he was required by law to be there, and hence his bill of $30 75 was allowed, but the Uuion of yesterday ‘‘goes back upon at least one-third of its reflections on the Auditing Department when it says of one of .the members ‘‘there is no more honest,, industrious and intelligent officer’’ than he. The expenses of the county wesay should be carefully watched, and every effort made to reduce them:and the debt, but those who manage these revenues should not be held responsible for a change in the law-which postpones the collection of revenue, and thus shews an increase of debt. During the last year the county up to March 4th received $24;000 property tax for the General Fund, and after this was paid the debt of that fund was, ‘without interest, $59,174 48. Nowthe same fund, without interest, owes $69,454 55, ‘anid none of the property tax has been, paid yet. ‘These taxes are now being cellected, and from the first of next month until March, scrip outstanding will be rapidly paid,and we venture the prediction that in another year there will bea reduction of indebtedness on-all the funds of the county. Prorie in the District of Columbia seem to have acquired the sure and certain method of dealing wit murderers which other cities are vainly seeking. Last week Jenkins was hung for his crime of wife murder. The next victim is Barney Wood, the murderer of Mr. Cheeseman, whois to be hung on the 17th of November, and during the next. few days it is expected that seven her-persons will be hung for capital i conunitted in the ten miles square it and about the national capital. ington, Hlinois. -Threeer four smal wires were stretched.across the room The theory is rand preveut reverberation. A Sr. Pavx cow, in attempting to open a gate, lifted off the hinges and carried it seven miles on a frantic ren, when she fe’) exhausted, some laborers~and-others attracted by the incident, she was soon restored and the party started on their way. It is one of the narrowest escapes on record. Young Clark certainly deserves credit for his coolness and presence of mind. Eee ae : Pain ei, ‘Tur Piopus or an Ankansas TowN STaARTLED.—About twelve miles south of Huntsville, Madison county, on the 8th inst., occurred the most wonderful and startling phenomenon that bas ever beeu-witnessed by the citizens of that neighborhood. Near the farm of: Captaiti Smith, Sheriff ofthe county, says the Fayettville (Ark.) News, some of the citizens ‘were startled by a frightful noise like the rushing of a mighty canon bal through theair. On leoking up they discovered something that looked like a solid column of fire pussing with-tremendous velocity through the air, with a whirring, hissing sound, something like that of a shell, but many fold louder, It appeared to be from eight to ten feet in length, and from four to five feet in diame~ ter, but it was passing with such swiftness that it may have been many times larger thanitappeared. When . first discovered it seemed to be several hundred feet above the earth and was inclining in its course toward the ground profusely emitting .great sparks of fire. About a. minute or twe after it passed out ofsight an awfu explosion was heard; that shook the earth for miles around, and was heard ata distance of fifteen miles, The truth of this statement is vouehed for by.Captain Smith, Mr. Qualls, S. P. Smith, Mr. Tassey, and other prominent citizens of the neighborhood, aa Tue Chicago Mail thinks that **Henry Clay was the best President save, perhaps, one, that we ever had;’’ whereupon the Pittsburg Commercial remarks that ‘‘thereare those who believe Gen.

The other day, during the visit of several families to the hotel where he is stopping, he saw a pretty young lady of about his own age, the daughter of one of the wealthiest men of that city, and fell so violently in lové with -her at first sight, that followed her to her residence. For two or three days subsequent he was observed hanging around the vicinity, occasionally catching. a glimpse ‘of her; and,. strangé to say, the violent passion for him. On Satur-_ day last shé went out riding with him in‘the elegant barouche belongWest Kansas, when the nine o'clock{ing to the paternal mansion, and when those having charge of her). strictly forbude any further exhibitions of such bad taste on her part, she frankly declared’ her intention of wedding the Comanche. On. the other side, the young Indian has been freely supplied with money, and declares that he will not return to the happy hunting grounds of the West unless the object of his devotion should go with him. Of course such adeplorable state-of affairs has nethe authorities. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has therefore, been notified that the susceptible Comanche must be made to leave the city forthwith, and a thousand dollar draft has been tendered him by a brother of the misguided girl, asa bonus for his departure. But the Comanche is incorrigible, and steadily resists all overtures. The delicate circumstances of the case and the fear of their names being given publicity in the event of a denoument, have so far worked upon the 'relatives of the girl that she will be taken hence to New York on the through truin at night, and, notwithstanding the lateness of the season, will quietly take passage for Europe by an early steamer, the distracted millionaire, whose daughter she is, perceiving no other way to cure her of her predeliction.

He goes to San Francisco, say 200 miles and borrows $2,000 for which he executes a mortgage. The man who lends the money has ten days to pat his mortgage on record, and during all that time it has the same effect as if recorded.— This gives the party who seoured the money ten days, during which time -he may secure new loans:or sell his property, and the subsequent lender or purchaser would-be the sufferer. Hereafter’all loans ‘made have been preceded first by a search of the records. No public records afford evidence‘that property is unincum‘-bered. Of course in cases where fraud could be shown, the incumberance upon or conveyance of property would be void; but the great difficulty would be to prove the fraud. This provision was passed in the interest of San Francisco money lenders in order to protect such as were lending money upon the farms and ranches jin the interior, as it makes their mortgages good from the “time ef the execution. . The law is a bad One and ought to he repealed; but there are many other provisions which are no doubt equally objectionable, as will be found after the codes are published. To call the Legislature together to remedy a single defect, would be -a foolish piece of business. Let the, people “\. suffer the evils for awhile, amd by time of the meeting of the next Legislature other defects will be de~ ‘ veloped after the practical workings of the code meiaonininet, and then all the evils can bexemoved., ° nw Tur latest reptile story comes from Virginia, in which State a snake was recently killed with t¥ ‘J heads .perfeetiy developed -in every respect, and-so -attached to the body . as to render either or botb available for sustenance and detense. i © For a frank man commend us to the gentleman in Springfield, Mass. » who apnounces that the fire in his. block the other day was so clearly duetto his. negligence that he does not intend ta cail on the insurance . *t 4 Proper. height. that the wires break the sound waves / eompanies to make good his logs. ~ Caitrornta-‘made. blankets are ex. -hibited in the show windows of retail stores on Broadway, New York. ‘The ladies declare they are ‘‘perfect~ dy splendid.’’ upon the court to be present” with the records, ete.

The expenses of the county wesay should be carefully watched, and every effort made to reduce them:and the debt, but those who manage these revenues should not be held responsible for a change in the law-which postpones the collection of revenue, and thus shews an increase of debt. During the last year the county up to March 4th received $24;000 property tax for the General Fund, and after this was paid the debt of that fund was, ‘without interest, $59,174 48. Nowthe same fund, without interest, owes $69,454 55, ‘anid none of the property tax has been, paid yet. ‘These taxes are now being cellected, and from the first of next month until March, scrip outstanding will be rapidly paid,and we venture the prediction that in another year there will bea reduction of indebtedness on-all the funds of the county. Prorie in the District of Columbia seem to have acquired the sure and certain method of dealing wit murderers which other cities are vainly seeking.

Eee ae : Pain ei, ‘Tur Piopus or an Ankansas TowN STaARTLED.—About twelve miles south of Huntsville, Madison county, on the 8th inst., occurred the most wonderful and startling phenomenon that bas ever beeu-witnessed by the citizens of that neighborhood. Near the farm of: Captaiti Smith, Sheriff ofthe county, says the Fayettville (Ark.) News, some of the citizens ‘were startled by a frightful noise like the rushing of a mighty canon bal through theair. On leoking up they discovered something that looked like a solid column of fire pussing with-tremendous velocity through the air, with a whirring, hissing sound, something like that of a shell, but many fold louder, It appeared to be from eight to ten feet in length, and from four to five feet in diame~ ter, but it was passing with such swiftness that it may have been many times larger thanitappeared. When . first discovered it seemed to be several hundred feet above the earth and was inclining in its course toward the ground profusely emitting .great sparks of fire. About a. minute or twe after it passed out ofsight an awfu explosion was heard; that shook the earth for miles around, and was heard ata distance of fifteen miles, The truth of this statement is vouehed for by.Captain Smith, Mr. Qualls, S. P. Smith, Mr. Tassey, and other prominent citizens of the neighborhood, aa Tue Chicago Mail thinks that **Henry Clay was the best President save, perhaps, one, that we ever had;’’ whereupon the Pittsburg Commercial remarks that ‘‘thereare those who believe Gen.

The other day, during the visit of several families to the hotel where he is stopping, he saw a pretty young lady of about his own age, the daughter of one of the wealthiest men of that city, and fell so violently in lové with -her at first sight, that followed her to her residence. For two or three days subsequent he was observed hanging around the vicinity, occasionally catching. a glimpse ‘of her; and,. strangé to say, the violent passion for him. On Satur-_ day last shé went out riding with him in‘the elegant barouche belongWest Kansas, when the nine o'clock{ing to the paternal mansion, and when those having charge of her). strictly forbude any further exhibitions of such bad taste on her part, she frankly declared’ her intention of wedding the Comanche. On. the other side, the young Indian has been freely supplied with money, and declares that he will not return to the happy hunting grounds of the West unless the object of his devotion should go with him. Of course such adeplorable state-of affairs has nethe authorities. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has therefore, been notified that the susceptible Comanche must be made to leave the city forthwith, and a thousand dollar draft has been tendered him by a brother of the misguided girl, asa bonus for his departure. But the Comanche is incorrigible, and steadily resists all overtures. The delicate circumstances of the case and the fear of their names being given publicity in the event of a denoument, have so far worked upon the 'relatives of the girl that she will be taken hence to New York on the through truin at night, and, notwithstanding the lateness of the season, will quietly take passage for Europe by an early steamer, the distracted millionaire, whose daughter she is, perceiving no other way to cure her of her predeliction.
