_-#um thus brought to taxation—will-aasist-the .
—but-was swept-awdy by the-torretrias Tall
tendency to wipe aut the county indebtedS
ed. In bridges the loss has been heayy.—
THURSDAY MORNING, MAY
Prospects of THE CoUNry. — The
storms of the winter, though less destructive
here than in the lower regions of the State,
have not passed ani left our county uotouchAS,
Scarce a private bridge in the whole county
-vonds, too, have beew seriéusly injured de-_
pteciating their value of coarse. Tunnels
haye been damaged, quartz mines flooded and
injured, and ranches have been cut up and
the stuck starved and renderéd alinost worth~less,—-On-—various kinds of property therehas been a sensible loss, though we have reason to be thankful that the county escaped
the ravages of floody in the way it has.—
Nevertheless, a comparison of the value of
certain Kinds of property as given on the
Assessor's books of last year and this, will
show a great diminution, 'Yet in spite of “all
this, through the fearless and energetic services of the present county Assessor, the
valuation of property in the county prowises
to hot only reach the old figure, but actually
exceed it, poasibly sw half million of dollars.
Assessor McKee goes at: bis work with no
thought-of preparing for @re-election, but
to do his whole duty as ho finds it defined
in the statutes. He designs to get allfthe
property in the caunty subject.to taxation
on his list, and aw fur as he hes gone, itis
_cuneeded he has done pretty clear werk of
_1t. In this township property not heretofore
listed to the value of $200,000 has been
found, and it is thought more than that
amount willbe brought to lightin Grass
Valley township by the time it is thoroughly
assessed. *
The revenue to be derived from the extra .
county materially in the way of extinguishing
the debt. This together with the prudent
ananner in which the Board of Supervisors
watch over county expenditures, will have a
pdness even tuater than has beon done in the
past, so that we have the strongest hope that
in one year from the present time the county will owe less by thirty thoysand dollars
than to-day—an important item and in the
right direction. ‘The new Chinese tax law
will assist materially in bringing about this
result ifwell enforced. ‘The prospects of the
county, we therefore regard as exceedingly
promising notwithstanding the depréagion of
the times caused by 9 war of the elements
and warof men.
Tut Chinese Tax Lis Ths San Francisco Journat says that Gov. Stanford has {
signed the bill levying a monthly tax of $2,50en all Chinese in this State, and this ex~
“@ellont measure is now a law of the land. A
writer in the Bulletin who is bitterly opposed
te the law, estimates that if.properly enforced, it will compel the Chi ese to pay
a tax of from $1,860,000 to $2,040,000 per
annum. If this estimate ig correct, and we
believe it is not far out of the way, the new
law, after deducting exponges of collecting,
losses by evasion of the tux, ete. will yield
an annual revenue of wore than $1,000,000
half of which we believe goes into the State
Treasury, ie the other half iate the County Treasuries. Sau Francisco’s share of the
tax will be nearly half enough to pay the in.
tereat ou'her debt, if the tax is properly col.
lected. But thé revenue to be derived from
the operations of the law may be co
the least of its henefita; it will have the effect of checking Chinese immigratidn if.it
does not stop it altogether, and will in time
eelieve our State of a large and utterly worthlege clags*of ite population. We truat the
Jaw will be strictly enforced in every part of
the State.
Avvenr Parer.—We bavo received the
first number of “ The World's Crisis,” a new
paper published at San Francisco, and of the
Millerite persuasion. The editor, J. L. Hopkius, in his salutatory, says: “The world
ison the eve of great. changes. Events of
gréat importance are rapidly drawing near.
It is wise to note them closely, and ponder
‘them well. We are beginuing te hear the
distant thunder of 4 coming storm.”
We are sorry to see Bro. Hopkins fall ins
to the error of ‘taking the Southern Confederacy far the whole world, and mistaking
McClellan's big guns for the trump of Unele
Gabriel. Tell you, Bro. Hopkins ; the world /
is not going to dry up till the rebels are boautifully lieked, the continuation of the blue

There are so. many secessionists: and. dubs.

been considered a matter of some doubt

could be obtained to impeach Hardy, though
ihe testimony is regarded sufficiently strong
to send him higher than Gilderoy's kité. One

be Charley. DeLong's. If so ‘he ought to

his embarrassments in the detail of

fieree threats of traitors in arms, and the
wutterings ef a dangerous sy sympathy with

States. The Senate and the House of Representatives, the Constitutional Legislature,
began to disintegrate before his eyes. . The
Judiciary, a subordinate brauch of Government, was succumbing to the sireece that

Such was the ease with President Lineoln

not one canbe found, after a year’s war,
who can ‘truly say that President Lincoln
