the Stat? Paper and Litigant, Mills. . The Hxaminer, in a recent issue, pays: There is no doubt that one of the first acts of the Legislature, on the part of both parties composing it, should be the repeal of the State paper bill. That notices of legal pro. ceedi of character, from Del Norte convenience to all parties concerned, Tinst a in that paper, and that y one, to give them legality is : bie blio ou ) that we are as, and have ever been since the of the measure, that senible men could approve such a pro onion. The lad tool novel bore been enacted, and its repeal, as we have above remarked, should, be among the first acte of the islature. It serves no public need and accomplishes no political purpose. We heartily indorse the above, and will goa step farther and say that the Litigant organists belongs to the same class with the State paper men and ought to go the same way. The same arguments that were urged in favor of the Litigant bill, were urged in the passage of the State paper bill, @nd if one is meritorjous the other ought to stand. . But the Hzxaminer has a motive in asking the repeal of the one and the continuance of the other. By this course the patron-. age of the Ezaminer would be inGreased; and itwould still remain the litigant organ of San Francisco, with the addition of patronage now given to the Reporter from that county. Inthe same issue with the demand for the repeal of the State paper law, the Kwaminer justifies the Litigant bill as @ party measuré, and. calls upon the Senate, which is Democratic, to sustain it. If the party is justified in supporting county organs by forcing people to patronize them, would it not be justified in compelling them to support a State organ? ~The Zvaminer cannot make fish of one and fowl of the other of these infamous laws. It must either defend both or abandon the field. The Oakland’ News, Cole's most ‘able and unscrupulous organ, asserts that that gentleman will. procure the repeal of the mining legislation of the last Congress, if he is re-elected to the Senate. That is all the members of the mining counties want to know; and the interests of the mining _ regions are largely sympathized with in San Francisco, where many of the principal mine owners live. It is ‘distinetly understood that Cole did all he could to prevent the miners getting a pre-emption right to their claims.

The total value of property, real and personal, in the county last mortgages, was $5,871,066 61. The mortgages were pdt assessed this year and the total value of prop-. erty without them is $5,180,781, making a difference of $690,285 61 in favor of last year. The rate of taxation last year was $2 on each $100, and the total tax on the assessment was $117,42131. We understand that the mortgage tax which was collected and-paid under protest is . still held subject to the decision of the suit now pending in the Supreme Court. The rate of tax this year is $2 10 on each $100, and the total tax is $108,796 52, making ao difference of $8,624.79 in favor of last year. The total tax is in the neighborhood of $5 50 for each man, woman and child in the county for State and county taxes. Last year the dog tax was $721 and this year it is $609, So it appears the last twelve months has been rough on dogs.
