IffgLJ_ L'.."1 ■' I_li. .J” TIIE SILVER STATE. Tlniritdn}. September 30. HUM). RAILROAD TAXATION AGAIN. A communication from. “Tax Payer No. 2,” on railroad taxation, printed in another column, is worthy the atten tion of our readers. If hia ideas and figures are correct, the county will lie materially benefited by, increasing the assessed value of the road-bed, not only when tho taxes arc paid—as they will certainly have to be in the end—but, pending litigation for their collection, as the county can borrow all the money it wants at ten per cent, per annum. Tho views of Tax Payer No. 2 differ materially from those of “Taxpayer’, in yesterday’s issue, and as the question at issue is one of great importance to every tax payer in the county, it should be discussed at length, that the Board of equalization may act in qjjcordance with the wishes or the majority ol those most interested, at their meeting in October. We still adhere to the opinion that taxation should be regulated by a State Hoard of Equalization. As the law now is, cattle owners, if they cannot make satisfactory arrangements with Assessors, drive their herds from one county to another in the Summer. One heavy stock firm, whose cattle were assessed at $2.">,000 in this county in 1S79, drove every hoof of their stock into Elko last Spring, ami their names do not appear on the assessment roll this year, although they will probably winter several thousand head of cattle in Humboldt. The only way to pre vent this dodging of taxation is by a State Board of Equalization. Our law makers know this full well, yet a ma jority of them, oppose all bills intro duced in the Legislature to create such a Board, and State and county political conventions silently acquiesce, lest it might injure “the party” to tell the truth about its chosen representatives. We hope the conventions which are to meet here in a week or ten days wiU pledge their Legislative candidates to use all honorable means to procure the passage of such a bill next Winter. COLONEL PAIR’S LETTER. What lie Has to Say About His Candi dacy. James G. Fair, of Virginia, who is a candidate for United States Senator, in opposition to William Sharon, of San Francisco, has addressed the following letter to W, E. F.

J>4traG. Fair.-, i j LIVELY TIMES IN VIRGINIA CITY. i The Carson Appeal is having its re vcnge. The Enterprise has repeatedly i denounced it as a Democratic paper, I because while advocatingtbc election o£ Garfield it pictures Sharon in his true colors, and favors the regulation of fares and freightson railroads. Tliisoppo sition to Sharon and his railroad is not in accordance w ith theideasof true Repub licanism, entertained by the Enterprise; hence, its denunciation of the Appeal. Now, the Appeal says John W. Mack ay owns one-half of the Enterprise and Sharon the other half. Mackay pro tested against using the columns of the Enterprise to make personal assaults on his partner. Fair; and according to the Appeal a row ensued, which it describes in its peculiar style. Sharon was sent for to make peace between the irate Markay and the editor, and lie arrived in Virginia City yesterday: since which time the Appeal has* had no further news from the seat of war. I —i in.. I A delegation of fifty gentlemen eon i nected with the shipping interest of 1 New York city went to Governors Island Tuesday to wait ca General Hancock, in order to present an sun dress, and offer their co-optn ation and support during the coming campaign. In reply, General Hancock said: “I am very highly honored by being waited upon to-day by representatives of the various branches of the shipping infer* est. I am very glad to receive the [ad dresses which you now present me. I am much pleased at your visit, if it only be that it has shown ifta the details of an organization that 1 was not pre viously familiar with. I was fearful yesterday that I would not be able to meet this delegation to-day in conse quence of indisposition. 1 am very glad that I have been able te meet you.’ The New York World prints an 1 article on the Republican- Presidential 1 nominees, in which the following inter rogation appears: “Is the Republican ticket to be changed to Grant and Arthur, and will the announcement be made at the meeting of Union Veterans at Indianapolis, on the 7th of October?” The Eureka Democratic County Con vention adopted strong resolutions de manding the regulation of railroad fares and freights by Congress. The Legis lative nominees are understood to be in favor of James G. bikir for United States Senator. -— - ^- ■■ The Associated Press says money is < being sent 'to Indiana from all the ; Southern States, and Senator Conkling i says in his speeches that the Southern States are poverty-stricken. Which story shall we believe? I _ The New York World says of Oen I eral Grant’s speech at Warren, Ohio: ■ ‘•General Grant represents the Southern ! States whii h, hardly three, months ago, ■ and just after he had visited them, lie declared to he peaceable and patriotic communities, as in a condition of scarcely suppressed civil war. It is note worthy that in taking possession of the Garfield canvass in Ohio, Grant, even vvhiie approaching fulsomeness in his praise of Conkling, did not take the i trouble so much a» to mention Garfield. In fact, he refused to emulate the polite l nes3 of the anaconda, which at least lubricates the rabbit before swallow ing it. At Warsaw, Indiana, Annie T>. Sha] - tin. daughter of a director ia the First National Bank, secured cSNOO on a forged check. Her father at once made the discovery, and failing to keep her away from a married adventurer, thought best to have her arrested for forgery. Three days after being jailed she con fessed that G. L. Smith, a married man, was the forger, lie was arrested, gave bail, and has since been trying to secure bail for Annie, but failed. Yesterday afternoon he went to the jail, shot Annie dead and kilted himself. The body of r. white new-boni girl baby was found by some boys yesterday in Normal School square, San dose, Cal., in the grass against the fence m ar the Fifth street entrance. It was in a small ; paper bag. whi *li was hursted, leading to the opinion that it was thrown over. It had been dead twenty-four hours, and it is not known whether it was born dead, as no autopsy haa- been held Blaine spoke at Wheeling, West V ir gin'i*, Tuesday afternoon. Referring to .Marne, he said that if she had not set the country a good examnle she had given it a terrible warning. He ascribed the result there to the liberal use of money in corrupt ways h\ the Fusion ists. He warned his hearers to be on their guard tor the same conduct of the campaign here. The N e\v York Democratic State Con Vt ntiou in which all the factions of the party were represented, unanimously nominated Charles A. Rapello, for Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals. The Convention pledged the thirty-five Elec toral votes of t’ne Empire State to Han* cock ami English. S *nator Jones contradicts a report t.l at he had left the Republican party.
