wished to rind nut in what liuht he re

whut etlsct he thouuht it would have
upon hisvliauovs lor nomination fur

of extending one it the volumes which
has been rexirtid full of errors.
Mr tvakin declined to talk todav.
saying that he was not yrl u-ady to
make a atatenieul and tlioulit for the
present It would be better for liliu to
rtiiialn quiet Uikiii the suhlx t. He
said he had a stutemeut to muke and
would say a iiumtwr of thlnx to the

proper time would arrive, he replied

Iu oouvernntioii Mr Kiklo made
several remarks which Indicated to
some extent how he regarded the iut

self. While ho did not say tlml the
roll was sent back to the cierk's otlh-e
for the purpose of bringing about re
suits that would politically injure him
self, yet he evidently thought as much.
He seemed tointiiK mat tne proposition
mar't by Mr Jennings to Mr Johnson
to have the latter gentleuiuu continue
tax collections, rectifying- such mis
takes as he might find as he proceeded,
until the clerk aud his deputies could
have time to go through the roll und
verify It. which they proponed to do
by working on 11 01 nigiiii inter 'vi
lections for the day had c aied, whs a
fair one; and that It was the course
that ouuht to have been pursuvd. He
was of the opinion that ll was the lt

f.iniii'il him of what he Intended
to do before returning the roll
to Mr Jenninits. saving that he did
not see Mr Johnson until after tho roll
had been returned to the clerk.
In resard to the errors w hich have
an far been found in volume No 1 of
the tax roll he has nothing to say yet,
but atatea that it was bis du-dre when
he had finished extending the volume
to verify It, but as Mr Johnson was In

Snow. Residents or this vicinity
were surprised upon arising this mot 11
Ing to see the surrounding low lying
foothills covered with a thin coating
if snow. An extraordinary open seu-
sou hud led them lo believe that the
bscklsme of winter was brokeu und
thut we would have 110 more snow, or
severe storms outsldu of, perhaps, some
heavy rainfalls. Hut the snow wus to
b seen ou tho hills this morning, nnu
by 0 o'clock it hud commenced to fall
in the cilv; at llrst only a few scatter
ing Hakes' which kept Increasing until
It was coming down In little lltirrys,
ipiltu thick at tlmeii. The moisture ot
the ground would not iermlt It to
stay, though, and It Is not likely that
the small Isiy will get auy snowball
