Morrill; and who has as little interest in California as he hasin the sources of the Nile: Luttrell was elected to the Legislature as an anti-subsidy man, and . Went back on his. constituents, as will appear from the following from tho West Coast Signal, which says: “Luttrell wis elected as an antisubsidy candidate tram Siskiyou county to the last Legislature, and » Insulted the whole people of North‘rn Caiifornia by voting to allow the ‘railroad monopoly to close the waters of the upper Sacremento by building & solid ‘bridgé across that rive? at ‘Tehama,sball he be allowed at opportunity to further misrepresent the interests of his comstittiency and the State. There can be no dott of the result. Hundreds of Democrats in Tehama, Shasta, Trinity and Siskiyot. remember the act, and rather than chance a second misrepresentation at the hands of the Sacramento Union's “min of -more than ordinary » ability,” will vote for Coghlan.” Such men the Union asks the people of the State to support. If Lattrall violated the pledge upon which bie, wai lected in one particular, what ‘assurance ig there that he will not go Badk on the pledges he now makes ‘upon the same question? We simply allude to his position to show ‘that the Union is not so particular ‘bout antecedents su. long as itcan find vent to its spleen or hope to ac. Complish its selfish ends. Its antieubsidy position is a mere sham, to hide its real purposes, for it advocated the increase of the subsidy to Chinese steamers, ‘and asa mono’ for many years, atempted to crush all newspaper enterprises to advance its own. Coggins and Luttrell are now the instruments it expects te use, and from them it hopes to guin strength by rendering a weak support.to Grant, and making a pretense of tighfing in the Republican ranks, The trick is too thin to de‘eeive any one, . : A Falsehood. The political harlequin of the Marysville Standard, whose aspirations for office have not been recognized by Republicans, mentions the TxanscRirT as a part of the subsidized press. This igs the old trick.-The A. 8. 8. of the Standard no longer hurls the Chinaman at its epponents, but taking its cue from the Union, now saya they are subsidized. The position of the Transcript is too well known for such contemptible _ liars as this flopper,‘to damage it. We are as much opposed to subsidy A und to manopoly of all kinds as any . one in the State, and have frequently in these columns expressed our opinions freely. We still hold these ‘opinions, bat we de not think such men as Coggins, who cannot manage his own business, andis not. fit for steaity employment on the Union, are just the men to trust to fight monopoly or anything else for the people of the State. A public servant should at least have the merit of be‘ing able (o make a suecessin hisown uffuira before expecting that people should exitrast him with themanagement of theirs.

Committee . to be entirely inadequate to: afford Let the Farmers Decide. We copy the following sensible a» and commend it to the caretul —e rusal of our readers. The Independent is, ai@ always. has been a strong anti-railroad; paper, theréfcre its opinion is. entitled to the greatest consideration: “The Sacramento Unton and San Francisco Bulletin are using every means in their power to Houghton in the Second District, and Coghlan in the Fourth, because these two gentlemen voted in favor of & proposition to lease a portion of Goat Island to the Céntra® Pacnfic Railroad for depot purposes: This, in the eyes of the Ynton'and Bulletin, isan unpardonable offense. At the present time the terminus of the railroad at the Oakland wharf is found accommdiations’ for ti¢ immense amounts of wheat necessarily sent to the water froné by rail: Hundreds of unioaded' cats frequently-accumulate. upon fhat wharf and remain there for days, owing to the utter impossibility of finding » place for their freight. At the same time grain is rapidly. adéumulatiiig at the various shipping points along the line of road, and it hae beeome questionable whether facilities exist to enable the farmers to protect a portion of their crop from the approaching storms of Winter. The Bulletin opposes making a terminus on Goat Island because the freights from: the interior would not then be brought. to San Francisco for shipnvsat; and it is a well known fact that every ton of wheat that is now landed upon a San Francisco wharf ie siibjected to an extra ¢harge of from fifty cents to one dollar a ton more than if unloaded from the ears directly upon the ships, Fo secure’ this exira tribute from the farmers of the-Stafe-and for the draymen, wherfingers and warehousemen of San Francisco, the Bulletin is daily abusing our delegation in Congress because they attempted to protest the interests of the people of the interior by providing a way whereby the grain might be unloaded from cars tothe ship without this extra charge. Will the farmers of the country be led to vote against their own interest merely to gratify the Bulletin, which is laboring to make them pay a tribute to San Franeisco? The Union's opposition to the re-election of these Congressmen is aetuated by mere persocal malice. They dared to give a vote granting certain necessary privileges to the Central Pacific Railroad Company, believing that the interests of the people would be advanced theseby; but the Union, im ite great hatved to Stanford & Co., would seo the people of this State luck the necessary fueilities for the transportation of the crop before it would grant another privilege to the railwoad company. Will the farmers of this State, to their own detriment and pecuniary loss, make themselves the victims ef the proprietors of the Union, and vote for its candidates for ne other reason than merely to gratify the personal malice of Anthony and Morrill to the Centred Pacific ‘Railroad Company? This is a question cf pavamount interest to every producer and@ consumer in this State, and they should, without prejudice, varefully weigh the motives of these two journals which are making so unprincipled a fight against two of the delegation in Congress, who have faithfully worked for the interests of the people. < Greeley on Beets. Horace Greeley has for a month past been hovering around the borders of Vermont and Maine délivering lectures on the best system for raising beets, He has got two of the biggest beats of the season in those two States, the weight-way down in Maine being about 18,000; again of nearly 8,000 since the last crop in that section. _ Carxse Wrppive.—Judge Keiser, says the Truckee Republican, had tlie transcendent honor last evening of uniting in holy bonds of wedlock a Chinese bride and bridegroom. The deed was performed at the Keiser House near the solemn hour of midnight. The bride was oneof the women abducted a few days ago by Ah Too.

Wonx is. progressing on the eeleticle from the Stockton Independent,{ defeat the re-election to Congres¢' of . ) The District School Tax, Nevaba Crry, Sept. 12th.: Ed. Daily Transcript: In your paper this morning I notice an “opinion”{of Attorney General Love, to ‘the effect that the District School tax must be levied. I am, satisfied that the opinion was a hasty one, not given after a fulléxamination of . the question, anda few of my reasons for this conclusion are as follows: Section 18 of ‘‘Provisions of the "Code Relative to. the Revenue,” or ‘Preliminary Provisions’’ of the Political Code, says: ‘‘No Statute} law; or rule, is in force because it. is.consistent with the provisions cf this ‘codé on the same subject; but in’ all ‘statutes, laws and rulés herétofore in force in this State, whethér consistent or not witl the provisions of thiscode, unless: expressly continued _in4 'foree by it, are repealed and abro-. gated.” ” pe * a2 In directions as to assessment the code, subdivision—4-ef section 3,629, directs that the Assesse# must exact from each person 4. statement in writing showing ‘‘the countyin which suchproperty is situated or in which it is liable to taxation,”’ showing plainly that »o District tax was con‘temploted, otherwise the word ‘‘District’ should have been ‘substituted for the word ‘‘county.”’ Section 3,650. is divided into 15 subdivisions, specifying all that the Assessment Roll, as made by the Assessor, shall show, in which it: does not mention the district in which prcperty is situated. Then section 3,651 “The form of the assessment book must be substantially as follows: Assessment Book of the property of county forthe year 18— assessed to all owners and claimants known and unknown, when tax paid, tax payers name, residence, description of property, number of acres, value of real éstate, value of improvements thereon, value of city and town lots, value of improvements thereon, value of improvements in real estate assessed to persons other than the owners of real estate, value of personal property, amount of money, total value of all property after equalized by the State Board of Eqnalization, total tax, poll tax, remarks,’’ Under all these headings there is no provision for designating the district in which property is situated, nor is these any provision for the entry of any speciul school or district tax. Section 3,652 provides that on or before the first Monday in July in each year the Assessor must complete his assessment book, and he and his deputies must take and subscribe a certain affidemit, the form of which is included im the section, to the effect that they have faithfully complied with ali the duties imposed on the Assessor under the revenue laws, ete. Section 3,654 them provides that aS soon as the assessment book is completed as above, the Assessor shall deliver the same to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Now, in all of this, there is not one word directing the Assessor to designate the district, or any other subdivision otherthan county, as the situation of property, the person assessed may be in San Juan, while the property assessed may bein Birchville, or in both San Juan and Birchville school districts, but no provision whatever im the code by which to separate the one from the other. Seetion 3,672 to 3,681 inclusive, relative to the county Board of Exjualization, and the equalization of the assessment. Section 3,682 directs of Equalizetion shall on or before the first Monday im August deliver the county Auditor with an affidavit appended as to its eorrectness. tirney General relies, reads ax follows: ‘‘The Board of Supervisors of each county must, on the first Monday in October, fix the rate of county taxes,, designating the number of cents on each hundred dollars of property, levied for each fund and inust levy the State and county taxes upon the taxable property of the county. Bs The law says the rate of county taxes. It says nothing about various vates of taxes on the property in various districts, but does distinctly say “upem the taxable property of the no district tax was contemplated. Chapter six is headed, “Duties of the Auditor in relation to revenue," in which he is ‘required to *d6’ cerbrated “Yuba Dam.” we that the Clerk of the county Board corrected assessment book to the 4 Section 3,714, en whieh the. Atcounty,” showing very plainly that, enna jim a Li 1 reads,) “On or before the Fourth Monday of October, he must deliver of the corrected assessment bouk (mentioned in 868%,) to be styled “duplicate assessment book”’ to the tax collector, with an affidavit attaching thereto, and by him subscribed as fullows:’’ Then follows the affidavit, in which he affirms that the foregoing is a ‘‘full, true and correct copy’’ of the assessment roll as made by the Assessor and corrected by the county Board of Equalization; but in all“ these directions as.to the ‘duty“of the Auditor, there is not one word concerning any special or‘disfrftt tax, but always as State and caunty taxes. ‘eases provided for by this code;-ait? Now, Mr. Editor, you will see from the foregoing that the Assessor is not directed, either by word orimptication, to designate the district in which property is situated, consequently he has‘not done it. He has in every respect complied with the law as sent to him by the Code Commissioners and. with the rules of the State Board of Equalization. The county Buard of Equalization have donéevery avt in time and manner by law required of them, amd their Clerk has somplied with every requirement, and at the tiie designated, delivered the books with the affidavit «¢ ached to the County Auditor, und up to this time there is nothing in thé assessment book to designate in what district any of the property is situated. vgs? Whose duty is it te segregate the property and specify in which district it shall be taxed? Surely not the Auditor, for his ‘duties in relation to revenue’’ are plainly laid down. It cannot be the Asessor nor the Board of Sup@prisors, fap the very good reason that that the Audi_ tor is expressly required to retain the book, do certain things with it, and om or before a certain day deliver the dwplicate of the same to the tax collector with a certain affidavit attached. The book~can in no manner again go into the bands of the Assessor or the Board of Supervisors. The Board cannot know what rate to levy until the value of the property in the district is ascertained, and the Assessor cannot designate that valve for the books are out of his hands,. and under the law he cannet touch them. J might cite a hundred! ottier ii» consistencies and impdéssiWilities in this connection; but I' am: satisfied that the foregoing are-sufficient to convihce any one that ifie levy and collection of the tax ie an utter impossibility.

Daily Transcript: In your paper this morning I notice an “opinion”{of Attorney General Love, to ‘the effect that the District School tax must be levied. I am, satisfied that the opinion was a hasty one, not given after a fulléxamination of . the question, anda few of my reasons for this conclusion are as follows: Section 18 of ‘‘Provisions of the "Code Relative to. the Revenue,” or ‘Preliminary Provisions’’ of the Political Code, says: ‘‘No Statute} law; or rule, is in force because it. is.consistent with the provisions cf this ‘codé on the same subject; but in’ all ‘statutes, laws and rulés herétofore in force in this State, whethér consistent or not witl the provisions of thiscode, unless: expressly continued _in4 'foree by it, are repealed and abro-. gated.” ” pe * a2 In directions as to assessment the code, subdivision—4-ef section 3,629, directs that the Assesse# must exact from each person 4. statement in writing showing ‘‘the countyin which suchproperty is situated or in which it is liable to taxation,”’ showing plainly that »o District tax was con‘temploted, otherwise the word ‘‘District’ should have been ‘substituted for the word ‘‘county.”’ Section 3,650. is divided into 15 subdivisions, specifying all that the Assessment Roll, as made by the Assessor, shall show, in which it: does not mention the district in which prcperty is situated. Then section 3,651 “The form of the assessment book must be substantially as follows: Assessment Book of the property of county forthe year 18— assessed to all owners and claimants known and unknown, when tax paid, tax payers name, residence, description of property, number of acres, value of real éstate, value of improvements thereon, value of city and town lots, value of improvements thereon, value of improvements in real estate assessed to persons other than the owners of real estate, value of personal property, amount of money, total value of all property after equalized by the State Board of Eqnalization, total tax, poll tax, remarks,’’ Under all these headings there is no provision for designating the district in which property is situated, nor is these any provision for the entry of any speciul school or district tax. Section 3,652 provides that on or before the first Monday in July in each year the Assessor must complete his assessment book, and he and his deputies must take and subscribe a certain affidemit, the form of which is included im the section, to the effect that they have faithfully complied with ali the duties imposed on the Assessor under the revenue laws, ete. Section 3,654 them provides that aS soon as the assessment book is completed as above, the Assessor shall deliver the same to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Now, in all of this, there is not one word directing the Assessor to designate the district, or any other subdivision otherthan county, as the situation of property, the person assessed may be in San Juan, while the property assessed may bein Birchville, or in both San Juan and Birchville school districts, but no provision whatever im the code by which to separate the one from the other. Seetion 3,672 to 3,681 inclusive, relative to the county Board of Exjualization, and the equalization of the assessment. Section 3,682 directs of Equalizetion shall on or before the first Monday im August deliver the county Auditor with an affidavit appended as to its eorrectness. tirney General relies, reads ax follows: ‘‘The Board of Supervisors of each county must, on the first Monday in October, fix the rate of county taxes,, designating the number of cents on each hundred dollars of property, levied for each fund and inust levy the State and county taxes upon the taxable property of the county. Bs The law says the rate of county taxes. It says nothing about various vates of taxes on the property in various districts, but does distinctly say “upem the taxable property of the no district tax was contemplated. Chapter six is headed, “Duties of the Auditor in relation to revenue," in which he is ‘required to *d6’ cerbrated “Yuba Dam.” we that the Clerk of the county Board corrected assessment book to the 4 Section 3,714, en whieh the. Atcounty,” showing very plainly that, enna jim a Li 1 reads,) “On or before the Fourth Monday of October, he must deliver of the corrected assessment bouk (mentioned in 868%,) to be styled “duplicate assessment book”’ to the tax collector, with an affidavit attaching thereto, and by him subscribed as fullows:’’ Then follows the affidavit, in which he affirms that the foregoing is a ‘‘full, true and correct copy’’ of the assessment roll as made by the Assessor and corrected by the county Board of Equalization; but in all“ these directions as.to the ‘duty“of the Auditor, there is not one word concerning any special or‘disfrftt tax, but always as State and caunty taxes. ‘eases provided for by this code;-ait? Now, Mr. Editor, you will see from the foregoing that the Assessor is not directed, either by word orimptication, to designate the district in which property is situated, consequently he has‘not done it. He has in every respect complied with the law as sent to him by the Code Commissioners and. with the rules of the State Board of Equalization. The county Buard of Equalization have donéevery avt in time and manner by law required of them, amd their Clerk has somplied with every requirement, and at the tiie designated, delivered the books with the affidavit «¢ ached to the County Auditor, und up to this time there is nothing in thé assessment book to designate in what district any of the property is situated. vgs? Whose duty is it te segregate the property and specify in which district it shall be taxed? Surely not the Auditor, for his ‘duties in relation to revenue’’ are plainly laid down. It cannot be the Asessor nor the Board of Sup@prisors, fap the very good reason that that the Audi_ tor is expressly required to retain the book, do certain things with it, and om or before a certain day deliver the dwplicate of the same to the tax collector with a certain affidavit attached. The book~can in no manner again go into the bands of the Assessor or the Board of Supervisors. The Board cannot know what rate to levy until the value of the property in the district is ascertained, and the Assessor cannot designate that valve for the books are out of his hands,. and under the law he cannet touch them. J might cite a hundred! ottier ii» consistencies and impdéssiWilities in this connection; but I' am: satisfied

that the foregoing are-sufficient to convihce any one that ifie levy and collection of the tax ie an utter impossibility. Jouw: Parrison, Fatal Aceitient. .
