The several amounts include the estimated in‘terest that has acerued on the orders, ' OUTSTANDING ORDERS. General fund....$123,668 06 pom tira J fund... 5,600 00 Todigent sick fund.. vis 14,898 09 $143,561 15 The cash balances on hand, belonging to the fonds, is $3,107 96; leaving $140,453 19, total debt of the county. In addition to ‘there is now about $10,000 in the special , the most of which will be appropriated, von,the first.of May next, towards the redemp‘tion of the outstanding orders on the genera! fand. The public building bonds will be paid off this year, after which there will be a reduc‘tion of twenty-five cents on the hundred dollars, of taxation for county purposes. The Report shows a decrease of about 2,000 of the debt on the general fund, in the past four months, and fof. $3,600 on the public building fund; while othere has been an increase of about $1,000 of “the debt on the indigent sick fund. Tux New Acmapsn Reso.vtions.—The resoIntions introduced by Mr. Williams, in relation fe the New Almaden mines, passed the AssemDiy en Thursday last, by o large majority. ey were brought before the Senate the next ay, and referred to the Judiciary Committee, ‘end from the action taken by that House, we Jadge that & majority of the Senators are in favor of adopting them. The resolutions merely equest our mombers of Congress to use their Anfluence with the authorities at Washington to have the injunction dismissed, so that the proHetors can work the mine. Aathe Bederal ernment is the plaintiff in the suit, the inJunotion can be dismissed at the instance of the Attorney General. The withdrawsl of the injanetion will not, of course, interfere with the (rial, nor in any manner affect the rights of the parties in the ultimate decision. .Pentions are in eirculation in this county, ond are being numerously signed, asking the a ture to pass an act to enable the county, with the assent ofa majority of the voters, to loa" its credit to aid in the construction of a Yailroad from Nevada to Folaom. We trust that the measure will receive the support of all the members from this county. Whatever opinfon individuals may entertain in regard to the propriety of the measure, no reasonable person tan object to the principle of allowing the question to be decided by the voters of the county. Catnorio Cortsox.—The Rev. Mr. Croke, Vicar General, ‘is now sojourning in Nevada county, for the purpose of collecting subscriptions te endow a Catholio College at San Franisco.

It provides that the building shall be ereoted in accordance with the plan of R. Clark, made in 1866, and appropriates $100,000 to oarry the act into effect. The Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Gen. Redington and Judge Monson, are appointed Commis. cloners to advertise for proposals, receive bids, and award the contract. The bill was refered te the committee on Public Buildings. Derzatev.—The bill authorizing District Judges to appoint phonographio reporters for their eourts, which was under discussion last week in the State Senate, was very properly defeated. The Judges now have the right, if they deem it necessary, te have the evidence of witgesses written down, and this is usually done in important suits, if the parties request it, There is no necessity of any legislation on the subject, _ Grrr Tax Savx.—The sale of property upon which the city taxes have not been paid will commence to-day. The sale will take place at the Court House door, We learn that the taxes have already been paid on a considerable proportion of the property advertised in the list.

Silver ore, taken from a vein not far from San Jose was tested daring the spring of 1848, and had it contained a sufficient amount of the metal to pay for extracting, the proprietors would doubtless have taken meaeures to work the mine, We havo ne doubt that the quicksilver mines which are now creating ; XK BUILDING, paces eee . . item recorded in its favor.

The parties interested wore certainly making arrangements to test ite value, and they had ample time for that purpose before there was any great excitement about the gold mines, It is not at all improbable that quicksilver mines, as rieh as the New Almaden, may exist in Sonoma and Napa counties, but it appears that of all the specimens that have recently been tested, nothing has been found that would pay for working. Telegraphic dispatches from San Francisco, state that an immensely rich silver mine has just been discovered at the Presidio, near that city; but the story was doubtless started for speculative purposes, As long as men oan be found who are ready to pay large sums of money for silver mines that they have never seen, there will be no.end to these discoveries, “took out” in the neighborhood of $11,000, Most of the people of Bear Valley, adds the Star, have a slight interest in the success of the Colonel, and are waiting with considerable anxiety to see some of that dust coined and disbursed. dead, then they were to vote for D. 8.

It is supposed to have been written by the Emperor Napoleon himself, and for that renson has created considerable senaation in the political circles of the different European goveroments, The writer, professing to be » good Catholic, eontends that the temporal dominions of the Pope should be limited to the City of Rome, and that the other governments of Central Italy, including the revolted Papal States, should be allowed to work out their own destiny, free from the intervention of foreign powers. Ho saya that the moral influence of France bas been used, without avail, to reconcile the Italian people to their former goveroments; but to go farther, by now turaing against that Italian people the victorious bayonets which protected them against Austria, would be acting in direet opposition to her traditions, her interests, and her deeds, Neither can Austria be permitted to interfere to re-establish the old governments, for that would be an admission that she had been the victor; and France cannot permit Austria to employ force to subdue the people of Italy, whea she repudiates its employment herself. If this pamphlet is really the production of the French Emperor, as there ie reason to believe, it affords good evidence of his determination to carry out his original policy of freeing Italy from a hated foreign yoke, rather than of abiding strictly by the terms of the peace of ARDEN SEEDS!

The several amounts include the estimated in‘terest that has acerued on the orders, ' OUTSTANDING ORDERS. General fund........$123,668 06 pom tira J fund..... 5,600 00 Todigent sick fund.... vis 14,898 09 $143,561 15 The cash balances on hand, belonging to the fonds, is $3,107 96; leaving $140,453 19, total debt of the county. In addition to ‘there is now about $10,000 in the special , the most of which will be appropriated, von,the first.of May next, towards the redemp‘tion of the outstanding orders on the genera! fand. The public building bonds will be paid off this year, after which there will be a reduc‘tion of twenty-five cents on the hundred dollars, of taxation for county purposes. The Report shows a decrease of about 2,000 of the debt on the general fund, in the past four months, and fof. $3,600 on the public building fund; while othere has been an increase of about $1,000 of “the debt on the indigent sick fund. Tux New Acmapsn Reso.vtions.—The resoIntions introduced by Mr. Williams, in relation fe the New Almaden mines, passed the AssemDiy en Thursday last, by o large majority. ey were brought before the Senate the next ay, and referred to the Judiciary Committee, ‘end from the action taken by that House, we Jadge that & majority of the Senators are in favor of adopting them. The resolutions merely equest our mombers of Congress to use their Anfluence with the authorities at Washington to have the injunction dismissed, so that the proHetors can work the mine. Aathe Bederal ernment is the plaintiff in the suit, the inJunotion can be dismissed at the instance of the Attorney General. The withdrawsl of the injanetion will not, of course, interfere with the (rial, nor in any manner affect the rights of the parties in the ultimate decision. .Pentions are in eirculation in this county, ond are being numerously signed, asking the a ture to pass an act to enable the county, with the assent ofa majority of the voters, to loa" its credit to aid in the construction of a Yailroad from Nevada to Folaom. We trust that the measure will receive the support of all the members from this county. Whatever opinfon individuals may entertain in regard to the propriety of the measure, no reasonable person tan object to the principle of allowing the question to be decided by the voters of the county. Catnorio Cortsox.—The Rev. Mr. Croke, Vicar General, ‘is now sojourning in Nevada county, for the purpose of collecting subscriptions te endow a Catholio College at San Franisco.

It provides that the building shall be ereoted in accordance with the plan of R. Clark, made in 1866, and appropriates $100,000 to oarry the act into effect. The Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Gen. Redington and Judge Monson, are appointed Commis. cloners to advertise for proposals, receive bids, and award the contract. The bill was refered te the committee on Public Buildings. Derzatev.—The bill authorizing District Judges to appoint phonographio reporters for their eourts, which was under discussion last week in the State Senate, was very properly defeated. The Judges now have the right, if they deem it necessary, te have the evidence of witgesses written down, and this is usually done in important suits, if the parties request it, There is no necessity of any legislation on the subject, _ Grrr Tax Savx.—The sale of property upon which the city taxes have not been paid will commence to-day. The sale will take place at the Court House door, We learn that the taxes have already been paid on a considerable proportion of the property advertised in the list.

Silver ore, taken from a vein not far from San Jose was tested daring the spring of 1848, and had it contained a sufficient amount of the metal to pay for extracting, the proprietors would doubtless have taken meaeures to work the mine, We havo ne doubt that the quicksilver mines which are now creating ; XK BUILDING, paces eee . . item recorded in its favor.

The parties interested wore certainly making arrangements to test ite value, and they had ample time for that purpose before there was any great excitement about the gold mines, It is not at all improbable that quicksilver mines, as rieh as the New Almaden, may exist in Sonoma and Napa counties, but it appears that of all the specimens that have recently been tested, nothing has been found that would pay for working. Telegraphic dispatches from San Francisco, state that an immensely rich silver mine has just been discovered at the Presidio, near that city; but the story was doubtless started for speculative purposes, As long as men oan be found who are ready to pay large sums of money for silver mines that they have never seen, there will be no.end to these discoveries, “took out” in the neighborhood of $11,000, Most of the people of Bear Valley, adds the Star, have a slight interest in the success of the Colonel, and are waiting with considerable anxiety to see some of that dust coined and disbursed. dead, then they were to vote for D. 8.

It is supposed to have been written by the Emperor Napoleon himself, and for that renson has created considerable senaation in the political circles of the different European goveroments, The writer, professing to be » good Catholic, eontends that the temporal dominions of the Pope should be limited to the City of Rome, and that the other governments of Central Italy, including the revolted Papal States, should be allowed to work out their own destiny, free from the intervention of foreign powers. Ho saya that the moral influence of France bas been used, without avail, to reconcile the Italian people to their former goveroments; but to go farther, by now turaing against that Italian people the victorious bayonets which protected them against Austria, would be acting in direet opposition to her traditions, her interests, and her deeds, Neither can Austria be permitted to interfere to re-establish the old governments, for that would be an admission that she had been the victor; and France cannot permit Austria to employ force to subdue the people of Italy, whea she repudiates its employment herself. If this pamphlet is really the production of the French Emperor, as there ie reason to believe, it affords good evidence of his determination to carry out his original policy of freeing Italy from a hated foreign yoke, rather than of abiding strictly by the terms of the peace of ARDEN SEEDS!
