nothing serious had occurred to mar the har-
mony supposed to have been existing between
them, Your readers should have enjoyed
the reading Of my opinion at or soon after the
row, but for the interruption OF the mails
over the Sierras. As stated before, the two
branches seem tranquil. l have not discov-
cred Senator Monroe embracing the Exeeu-
tive nor the Attorney General and am not
advised that his Excellency is losing sleep
or nesh for want of Legislative caresses. In
the legal set-to between the two branches OF
the Government the Governor experienced
view of the small end of the horn. The SUI
preme Court have sustained the position OF
the Legislature that the latter has right to
{. raise the wind for Its own expenses IN a
summary manner, and make choice of the
method. The Controller has had = busy
week in taking up the scrip of members and
attaches and issuing Understanding war
rants therefor, which are readily taken at par
by various parties-principaiiy by WIN.
Sharon, of the Bank OF California. The mem
bers' wrath is greatly appeased IN their VIC,
tory and possession of the double eagles, and
the Governor passes his time in examining
and approving bills in very obedient man
uer, and enjoys the consolation of religion,
cigars and the consciousness of having done
his duty as he understood il. How his ram
pant and narrow-minded advisers and ap-
p!auders feel is matter OF much indlher-
ence. Seriously, the Governor seems to nave
a set of selfish advisers, who, to 6ask IN ms
smiles prefer to humor and nurture his opln-
ions, than to even hint to him the possibility
of error. The Legislative Fund bill was quite
thoroughly examined by the aniest LAWYERS
Of Nevada before its passage, and the Bank
of California, BY its agent, VIM. Sharon, he'd
signitied Willingness to advance all the
money required on warrants issued under
such a law. These facts were we'll known
and should have at least elected wider
range of examination by the Governor before
so btuntiy disappearing the measure.
As to the silly stories that the Supreme
Judges were swaycd in their opinion by
threats or other pressure than an earnest
conviction that the law justified their conc!n-
sion, they are the merest bosa- Whatever
NAV be said of Justices Lewis and johnson $
future aspirations as in judicial way, II is
we'll known that Justice Whitman made
personal sacrifice in accepting the position.
and would scorn to do any official act tor the
effect it might have on a reelection SIX years
hence. Justice Lewis WAS charged with
action of this kind in his dissenting OPINION
on the iilcgality of the SPECIFIC Contract Act
some Thu ee years ago; but he went before the
people and was reelected, the present Court
sanctions his original opinion, and no"
it is known that the opinion Oi the
Supreme Court of the United States is analo-
gous 1t is folly, spite or ignorance that
leads people to inveish against the Supreme
Court in the recent case, which the Ekecu-
tive and his friends forced them to adJudi-
cate. The Governor, believing ne was right
in his course, ought not to be so coarsely
denounced as he is BY members; and the
highest State authority having sustained the
law, the spiteful references to the Legislature
should cease on this score. Governor bias
