fcUBEKA DAILY SENTINEL. ~WEDNESDaY, JANUARY 9^1678^ MOIKKlSie TO 1*111 FT TUB RBttPOSfftIBIMTY. It I* amusing to note the grand and lofty tumbling of those who prevented a reduction of taxation at the last sea slon of the Legislature. Having sad dled upon the people an unnecessary burden falling little short of five hini dred thousand dollars [if the present levy be not reduced at the expense of an extra session] they now seek to shift the responsibility. The Reno < azette, a sheet lamentably deficient in knowl • edge, or honesty, or both, in dealing with this question, is especially con spicOous in this regard. Alluding to the opponents of the Compromise Bull Ion bill, it says: “ Although not pos sessing the strength to reduce the levy they were strong enough to prevent the passage of the Compromise over the Governor's veto.” Now, that is a bit of the most refreshing informa lion that we have run across in a mouth of Sundays. Not strong enough to reduce the levy! Will you have the kindness to name an opponent of the Compromise who advocated a reduc tion of the levy? Don’t you know, and if you don’t you had better con sult the record, that the Senate Com inittee of Ways and Means intro duced a bill to reduce the levy to 65 cents. Don’t you know also that that bill received the vote of every Senator who favored the Compromise, while the opponents of the Compromise, al most to a man, voted against it, except Baker, who dodged. The bill passed the Senate, went to the House; atid it having become apparent at this time that the Governor would vetotheCom promise measure, was there defeated but not without a strenuous effort on the part of anti-Compromise members to increase the levy to $1 instead of re ducing it to 65 cents. Nor was this all. The avowed policy of the Governor’s factiou was not only to raise the levy, but also to pass a bond bill providing for a loan of $200,000, running a term or years, at ten per cent, per annum. A measure of this kind was brought for ward and pressed more than once by the high pressure advocates, and it was only due to the firm stand taken by the friends of the Compromise that the folly was not enacted into law. This writer, if he is compelled to say it for himself, is entitled to some credit for squelching It. He believe* that but for his efforts tbs State rate would have been increased to $1 00 or $1 10, and an additional bonded debt of $200,000 fastened upon the people. The fight, presented in its true light, was just this: The Compromise policy led up to reduced taxation all around, while the negation of it meant higher taxes and the addition of $200,000 to the State’s bonded debt. We favored the low rate policy in the interest of the people, and we would do it •gain uuder the same state of facts. It was apparent to everbody that if we could settle the suits which had been appealed to the United States Supreme Court by the bonanza companies, thus insuring the collection ot the miniug lax in the future, there could be a gen eral lighting of the burdens of taxation on all classes of property. To bring about this desirable result the Legisla ture proposed to ratify a plan of settle ment agreed upon between the finan cial officers of tbeState and the mining companies. The basis of the settle ment was a modification of the bullion tax law; a reclassification of certain grades of ore; which would not have affected the revenues from that source to exceed $45,01)0 annually at the rate of production of bullion at that time. It was also proposed to throw off the penalties incurred by the litigation. This latter item was a few months later canceled by Governor Bradley, Gen eral Clark and other authorities and attorneys representing the Slate. And right here may we not ask why it ia that the pro-bullionists never say anything about this Compromise? If these people in authority were making a tight on prin oiple, why did they not stay with it? Well, to conclude, time is demonstrat ing the correctness of everything claimed in the contest by the support ers of the Compromise measure. They ■aid the treasury would be overflow ing with money. That is so. They •aid the State had no occasion to bor row money. That is so. They said the levy ehould be out down, not raised, on all descriptions of property. That is so, as is exemplified by theelam or throughout the State for an extra ses sion of the Legislature to do precisely what Governor Bradley and bis ad visers prevented being done at the late regular sesdou. This is a plain state ment of the case, and no amount of trimming can shift the responsibility. The ob'truutionists have cost the tax payers of Nevada fire hundred thous and dollars in two years, and nothing more or less can be made out of the situation. .. -■■»#» ' ■ .. The Territories are not to have any regular Commissioners at the Paris Exposition, but the Government will •llow them eight honorary Com mis •loners. _ _ Lieut. Flipper, the colored West Pointer, bee gone on duty in Texae. There Is an Important Item of tele graphic news in this morning’s Sen tinel from Washington. The com ing great battle against the Adminis tration is pretty well outlined. It seems that the Louisiana frauds are to be investigated by the Senate, Conk ling, Howe or our Jones will move in the matter en the reassembling of Congress on the 10th. Abundant tes timony is crowding in for a hearing. Things will be lively at the Capital next week. We are in receipt of the 2d and 3d numbers of the Cherry C'rpek lnde pendent, publhhed by B. M. Brrne\ at Cherry Creek, White Pino county. We did not get the first number. It is to be issued, we believe, iri weekly. The Independent, though not yet com plete in its mechanical arrangements, starts off with a good ileal of snap, and gives promise of being of great service to the locality where it is published. Cherry Creek is a growing place. We wish Mr. Barney success in bis new venture. Professor Blacki e n as been writ ing a letter lately lo protest againsi •'the course ol the corruption of the English language by a minute and curious imitation of the Greek, laiely commented by Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Browning and a whole host of minor men." He says that English is Eng lish, Latin, Laliti, and Greek, Greek; and that we have as little right to say Keltic for Celtic, Kikero for Cicero, Platon for Plato, as we should have to call Munich, Munscheu, or Florence, Flirenze. At the dinner given by the Atlantic publishers, in Boston recently, no lady contributors were present. This lias stirred one of the neglected sex to re mind the offenders that the muses were feminine, and she asks why Mrs. Stowe, Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis, Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford, Miss Alcott, and a number of others equally eminent, were excluded Iroin the ban queting table. Now let the ungallani biblopoles answer to the sex lor their ungenerous discrimination. A catalogue of the minerals, ores, rocks and fossils, intended for exhibi tion at Paris this year, has been pub lished by the committee having the mutter in charge. There are 585 speci mens on the list, drawn from all parts of the coast. Many of them are from the private collection of Henry G. Hanks, a member of the committee. Mr. Hanks’ colleagues are Almarin B. Paul, Melville Atwood, A. Derri and Sol. Ileydenfeldt. Jr. It Is a little rough on General La Grange that, when he had to quit the Mint, he should only receive a com. mon silver service from his appointees, while the bead waiter got a large dia niond ring from the helps in the din ing room. But the worst of it Is, that the General loses his billet while the head waiter keeps his. EASTERN NEWS. .SPECIAL TO THE DAILT SENTINEL.) LATEST FROM WASH INGTON. The Louisiana Frauds to be Inves tigated. CONKLING, HOWE OB JONES TO LEAD IN THE CONTEST. Strength of Tom Scotts’ Rail way Scheme. Hltcelluueon* Item* from the fnpi (Ml. Washington, Jan. 8. Persons who claim to speak witli knowledge of what is to lie done when the Senate meets, assert that Senator Conklmg will either offer hint-elf, or will have offered, a carefully drawn resolution, reciting that there are grave accusations made U[mn apparently good authority, involving the right ol the President to the office held by him, and that such accusations ought In lie set at test by official inquiry into the alleged facts. The scope of the resolu tion, it is stated, will not attempt to impltca'e President Hayes, but it is as serted that it does implicate Senator Stanley Matthews, Secretary Sherman and Congressman John A. Garfield, all of Ohio. The Impression is. that Senator Conkling will not personalty offer the resolution, but it may be done by Senator Ho wo, of Wisconsin, or Senator Jones, of Nevada, and that its language will be so carefully draw n as to make it very difficult for Southern Democratic Senators to vote against il. it is turiher claimed that Senators Thurman and McDonald, of Lite Judiciary Committee, with Judge Davis, of Illinois, who is counted a neutral on all political issues, will sup port the resolution. Opposition is an ttcipated from Southern Democratic Senators eutirely. Among the facts relied upon to show that the Louisiana electoral vote was bargained for, are, it is said, affidavits of Cassanaue aud Kioner, members of the Returning Board, who claim they have not been dealt with according to the original bargain. Democrats will also lie relied upon to furnish a con nection between acqttiesenee in the count in the House and promises en tered into try Grant aud Stanley Mathews. It is under ilie pretext ol an effort to relieve the Republican party of complicity in the alleged bar gaining that tins examination is pro posed to lie made. Il is said that proof will be brought to show that the visit inf? statesmen made certain promises , to Packard and tbe Returning Board which have not been fulfilled. In i fact, the whole proceedings of the visiting statesmen is to be overhauled, with a hope to cover them with dirt or to expose what they have raid, done or promised, Agenta of the Texas and Pacific Rail way scheme have not been idle during the recess of Congress. A recent can j va-s made liv some of them discloses the fact tliAt they say that 133 Repre sentatives in the House,and a majority of 10 in the Senate, will vote for Colonel Scott's hill in the form in which it has been iniroduced. Tlie-e agents are preparing documents to show that the completion of the South ern line will lie iif great benefit lo die Government and people. They as-ert til it rales of through transportation from New York lo San Francisco, by i lie Southern route, as compared with the rates now charged liv the Union Pacific and Central Pacitiwill he in the proportion of 100 to 133. They ex press a willingness to have Congress fix through rates of transportation tow enough to allow only for the maims nance of the road. This they think could he done for J8.00u.000 annually. The Huntington scheme, they say, is intended only lo defeat the Scott ni.l, and is not introduced with the expecta tion that it can pass. The Texas and Pacific people rely on the passage of the hill introduced by the House of Tennessee and Stevens, of Georgia. Out of these two measures they expect that the committee w ill frame one as a compromise w Inch will be acceptable to the promoters ot the Texas Pacific scheme. The committee is of course ret tain to report some hill favorably. The Cabinet to day agreed to recom mend a pupu ar loan, and the Presi dent w ill send a message lo Congress at once, asking for legislation upon the subject. Toe story that Senator Patterson will leave l lie city without pairing with a Democrat can be authoritatively con tradicted. He says lie never for one moment coniemjjiitieu u. it hi»u true that lie does lint intend resigning. Many applications are being made in the Fresi lent for res'oration to serv ice ol persons removed lor various causes, the case of Surgeon Draper, recently restored to the uavy, being taken as a precedent. Fitz John Porter’s friends are work ing for him, and are sanguine his case will be reopened. It is understood that Montgomery Blair, now a member of tlie Maryland Legislature, proposes to introduce for adoption in that body, a memorial to Congress, asking for legislation to as certain judicially who was elected President of tlie United Stales, to give effect to the will of the people. The memorial is short, sharp and foolish. It claims that the act establishing the Electoral Commission provided that no decision under it should procure a judicial decision of the question, and attributes the result in lavor of fiayes for the Presidency from the disputed States to a Texas Pacific Railroad sub sidy bargain. Commander Rodgers, commanding the United States Steamship Adams, writes tlie Secretary of tlie Navy, from Sandy Point, Straits of Magellan, giv ing the particulars of the revolt of the garrison there. The first murder com mitted seems to have been that of the capiaiu ot a company of soldiers mini bering about one hundred, who were regular artillery troops They muti laied the captain in a most horrible manner, then opened fire with artillery on the Governor’s bouse. The Gov ernor on making his appearance was knocked no the head and lelt itisensi ble. Ha recovered af.er some time and made Ills escape. His family also escaped, almost naked, to the woods. The mutineers then released tlie con victs, ami altogether numbered two hundred armed with rifles. The fol lowing day tlie mutineers committed most incredible excesses in the way of wanton killing, burning and sacking. Next day the mutineers deserted the I lace, carrying off all tlie public funds and much private property. They burned the best part of tlie town. The streets are strewn with dead bodies. Most of the Killed were soldiers, who had been shooting each other indis crirninaiely. It is estimated that 50 people were killed. Many dead and wounded were burned in the build ings. The hospital burned with live wounded men in it. Commander Rodgers says it was tlie intention of the mutineers to capture the steamer Memphis, soon expected,but liercom mander had previous notice of the re volt. He seized the .soldiers, convicts and the Captain of the Port, who rowed nut lo linn, sugges tin' tine anchorage under ihe guns of the tort, lie men went to s,a, and meeting with the United Stale Steamer Adams, reported the condition of xtlair*. Commander Rodgers took the mutineers aboard of bis vessel and lia-tened to Sandy Point, where his pr settee was much appreciated by the Chilian authorities. Mining Troubles nt Head woo I.
