The Daily Transcript, (G NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOV. 18, 1869, —_— ? Rerorm NeepED.—An‘ entire reformation of the Revenue System of this State is needed. The laws in regard to the assessment and collection of taxes are, in many respects, vague of some portions of the revenue no less cumbersome and less expensive to In the assessment: of taxes there is ao uniformity whatever in the State, and the whole practiceé“‘in this respect tends to discourage improvements or progress. .A tract of land without fencing and urcultivated only has a . nominal value, while the same land. fenced is taxed, not only for that improvement but at two or three times as way to escape taxation is to leave lands usimproved. Small farms are taxed much more ‘heavily in proportion to value than large ones, and all improvements in the way of manufactures and buildings are excessively taxed. This system is also, as we have heretofore Shown, nnequal in different localities, In some places mortgages for purchase money are exempt from taxation, while all other mortgages are only rated at two-thirds their value. In other parts mortgages are taxed for their full value, and property almost as high. These abuses of asséssment will continue until some stringent law is passed compelling officers to perform their duty ~~ As to collection of revenue the law is in many respects contradictory, and some of the taxes levied have no provision whatever made for their collec. tion, These matters should be carefully considered in the revision and compilation of the State laws by the Commission appointed for that purpose by the last Legislature. The law required that this compilation should be given to the Stato Printer in July last and the printing of 480 copies in bill form. The Secretary of State after. having them printed is required to send one copy each to members of the Senate and Assembly, Justices of the Supreme Court, District und County J udges and District Attorneys throughout the State. The law required this to be done prior to the first Monday of the present month, but it has not been done. The object no doubt was to give ample time for the examination of ‘this bill before the meeting of the Legislature, and from this compilation the inconsistencies of the revenue system might more Clearly be shown. Before this work is issued as the code of the State, the present system of raising the revenue should be carefully revised. THE PUNISHMENT.—The Sacramento Bee, speaking of the recent railroad disaster, says: We do not believe that there is any State law in California to punish such offense with the severity which it deserves, It is not enough that the negligent, officer who causes such slaughter shall be discharged—and yet that is all the punishment the Company can inflict upon him—he ought to be held guilty of manslaughter, unless, on trial, he can prove his innocence. The mere dismissal from employment is ‘no suflicient check on the recklessness or carelessness of employees, ; Among the definitions given to manslaughter in our statute is what is desthe killing of a human being in the performance of a lawful act without due caution or circumspection. It is true, as the Bee intimates, that the ex: treme penalty, 10 years in the ‘penitén. tiary, is an inadequate punishment for such gross negligence, and it would be well, since something of the sort is u.slature to pass a law somewhat simil&¥ to the New York statute. Was INSURED.—We are informed by one in a positién to know, says the Virginia Hnterprise,that J udge Baldwin’s life was insured for $20,000 in the Manhattan, in the Mutual Life Insur. ance Company of New York, for $15,000, and in an English Lifo Insurance THANKsGIVING.—By proclamation of ‘the President of the United States and the Governor, the: people are called upon to observe this as a day of thanks. giving, and although there are excesses ptacticed by some perséns 6n such.oc‘casions, weare confident that few ot the Christians of the country would on this account agree with the few pastors of New England churches, who on this pretext asked its discontinuance. The churches might, with ag much propriety, cease their observance of Christmas for the same reason. We do not think, therefore, that Christian ministers and congregations would forego the privilege of meeting throughout the country once a year for the purposes of uniting in thanksgiving for the blessings bestowed upon the country simply because some persons abuse the holiday set apart for so good a purpose. While it is right that congregations should assemble for worshi p, it is also proper that all persons should unite on such occasions in augmenting the happiness of those about them. The social gathering around the thanksgiving table will not be omitted so long as the day is observed, and this part of the holiday no one would wish to dispense with. In this view of the'vase there is not any probability that there will be much of a demand for the omission of the annual thanksgiving. On this day, those who have plenty should remember their less fortunate neighbors. A remembrance will carry joy to the hearts of the poor, and make them feel that they too have reason to be happy on Thanksgiving Day. THANKSGIVING PRocLAMATION.—By the President of the United’ States: The year which is drawing to a close has been free from pestilence. Health has prevailed throughout the land; abundant crops reward the labor of the husbandman ; commerce and manufac‘tures have successfully prosecuted their aceful paths ; the mines and forests Er yielded liberally; tle nation has increased in. wealth and-in strength ; ce has prevailed, and its blessings ave advanced every interest of the people of every part ofthe Union ; harmony and fraternal intercourse are restored, obliterating the marks of the past conmict and estrangement ; burdens have been lightened, means increased, civil and religious liberty are secured to every inhabitant of the land whose soil is trod by none but freemen. It becomes a people thus favored to make acknowledgment to the Supreme Author from whom such blessings flow, of their gratitude and their dependence; to render praise and thanksgiving: for the same, and to devoutly implore a continuence of God’s mercies. Therefore I, Ulysses 8. Grant, President of the United States, do recommend that Thursday, the 18th day of November next, be observed as a day of thanksgiving, and of praise, and of prayer to Almighty God, the Creator and Ruler of the universe ; and, second, I do further recommend to all the people of the United-States to assemble on that day in theiraccustomed places of public worship, and to unite in that homage and praise due to the bountiful Father ot all mercy, and in fervent prayers for the continuance of the merciful blessings He has vouchgafed to us a people, In testimony whereof I have hereunto set_my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed, this fifth day of October A. D, 1869, and of the independence of the Uuited States of America the ninety-fourth. By the President, U. 8. G@ranr. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State. AT HALF Mast.—The Virginia Enterprise says all the flags in that city were on Monday placed at half mast out of respect for United States District Judge A. W. Baldwin, who lost his life by the great railroad accident on Sunday morning at Damon station, California,by the collision of two trains. “stars and stripes” draped in black and white, looped with black and white rosettes, were displayed in front of publie. buildings, hotels and saloons, and gret for the death of so good a man. Firemen and others were busy every. where arranging flags, crape and badges, and seemed deeply to feel the loss of such aman. It was a gloomy day throughout the city—flags at half mast in every direction, flags tied with crape over doors and grape upon the doors of nearly every public place in the city. < WE learn from the Tribune that ice formed an inch in thickness on Monday Company for $10,000, night, in Truckee, The . by-eh there was an universal expression of re. Ge THE RaitRoaD DisastEeR.—Bernard Kane, the switch tender, who is said tw have signaled the train to go ahead, was sworn before the Coroner's inquest. He is a tall, spare Irishman, apparently 50 years of age. He was employed asa laborer on street work in San Francisco at one time, and subsequently worked asa laborer at Oakland. He testified that he_had been in the employ of the Western. Pacific Railroad Company since the 5th of May last. He now resides at San Antonio, and has been in that vicinity for the past month. His employment for two'months was tending to a locomotive engine at night. Did not have full charge of the engine, but was a wiper. For the past two weeks he kas been tending switch at Simpson’s Station, junction of the Alameda and Oakland roads. Has been told that it is one mile and a half fro San Antonio. His duty was to be always ready to have his switch turned when ‘he saw the locomotive—particu. larly the Great Western. He was goverened by a time table and had it with . him-; know all the hours but did not expect the train coming west on Sunday. The train going east made its appearance to him in the fog at 5 minutes past 9 o’clock. The train whistled and halted 15 rods frorfi”the switch. He saw the engineer wanted to communicate with him but did not know why. Witness was accustomed to give the signal allright. This time his hands dropped, which meant that he did not understand. The train was only five minutes behind time and he thoughtit was entitled to the track. Did not know at the time that a train was coming west. It had never been coming west at that hour before since he had been on the road. It generally passed at half past 7 o'clock. There were a great many figures on the time table that he did not understand. Could not read the time table, and could not tell by looking at it when the trains were due; had got a gentleman to read it for him, and y not been at the switch on any Sunday previous when passenger trains had been run. Told by his time-piece when the tra‘ns . should arrive and depart. He had been employed by Mr. Adams; Roadmaster of the Western Pacific Railroad, told to go to the switch, and would receive instructions during the week, but had never received any. The first day, he received some instructions and a time table froma gentleman whom he did not know. Witness was here shown the time table and could not point out Simpson’s Station, ON Monday morning a freight train from Stockton, going into Oakland was switched off on aside track, running into and smashing a palace car: A brakeman named Mitchell was severely injured. in Stockton, while seated in Turn Verein Hall, reading a newspaper, Theophil Von Gruningen suddenly ex pired, . a ‘JouHN Nugent announces that the Daily Herald will re-issue on the first of December. _ Mrs. John Wood is playing in London. — . ene PACIFIC PROTECTIVE ASsoCIATION OF CALIFORNIA, _ Encorporated. s+eeee October, 1868 8) BIECT.—-THE OBJECT oF this Association is to Secure a cash payment within sixty days after the death ofa subscriber, to his or her’ heirs or assigns, cf as many dollars as there are individuals of the class to which such deceased subscriber belonged.
