IMPORTANT DECISIoN.-State of Nevada
VS.. Board of County Commissioners OF
Nashoe County, acting as Board Of Equal
ization. The Assessor of Washoe County
made an assessment Of the Central Pacific
Railroad, and the Board Of Equalization re-
duced the valuations materially. Relator
claims said company failed to make statutory
statements and hence the Board had no
jurisdiction of the case, and no right to re-
duce the assessment. Writ of certiorari
issued and the records of proceedings of the
Board of Equalization were certified to this
Court and the Court holds that the Central
Pacific Railroad Company failed to show
the making of the statutory statement.
Failures to make such is refusal under the
statute. In such case tie Board of Equali-
cation had no jurisdiction of the case, upon
complaint of undue assessment, and no right
to reduce, and in attempting so to do, ex-
ceeded its powers. Actions of the Board
touching reduction of assessment of the
Central Pacific Railroad Compacy for the
fiscal year 1869, declared annulled Opinion

The mode of submitting the Constitu-

Virginia, while the Twelfth article,
which provided the manner and time of
submitting the Constitution, having be-

Constitution will be submitted as a

CIRCULAR IN REGARD TO NAVY
YARDS,

Washington, July 1.-The Secre-
tary of the Navy will this week issue a
circular directed to the commandments
of navy yaads throughout the country,
intended to simplify details of work at
the navy-yards and to correct matters
contained in former orders from the De-
partment. The circular is as follows
"The order of June % fixing the
working hours in the various yards and
stations is hereby revoked. The order
OF May 24th regulating that subject will
stand with this modification; that the
ringing of the bell will commence at
such time, not exceeding fifteen min
utes before the time of commencing
work, as may under the circumstances
at each yard or station be found by the
commandant thereof necessary to secure
to the government the full term of
eight hours per day. Care should be
taken to establish such rules in this
respect as will insure justice to the
government, with no unnecessary in
convenience to the workingmen. The
mastering of the workmen after the
expiration of the hours of labor will be
dispensed with,

STORMY TIMES AHEAD.

A scientific correspondent commune
Gates the following: We have now en-
tered a season which there is reason to
believe will be marked by extraordinary
storms of rain, wind and electrical phe-
nomena, the most certain periods being
about the second Sunday In the months
of July and August next, and the first
Sunday in September and October next.
There will be intermediate storms Of
less severity about the time of Or just
after full moon in each of those months
The conditions prevailing at the time
specified are not unusual or extraordi-
nary in their character, but are periodi.
cal and unfailing. The storms antici-
pated are such as usually prove very
destructive to canals and railroads, and
sweep away bridges, etc. If we can
pre-calculate such events some of the
perils of such storms may be averted, by
careful preparations to meet them. A
few weeks will suffice to test the truth
Of these predictions. The storms here
referred to are not local, but general
ones, prevailing over territory at or
nearly the same periods of time On
the seventh of August next there will
he total eclipse of the sun, and, &C
cording to the statement of an English
astronomer, comet IL now visible.
What effect these circumstances will
have upon the weather I am not pre-
pared to say, but have reason to believe
the tendency will be to increase the seve
rity of the weather.

Tor this paper, in having originated and
brought forth the new movement by
which the power of the carpet Dagger
and the negro has. been destroyed, and
the property Of our citizens restored to
the rule of white people. Our terms
are only SIS year in advance, and the
amount from one thousand subscribers
would enable US at once TO add several
important improvements to our paper.

such important services to the public
interest, as that which the DAY Book
has the honor of having accomplished
would not likely be neglected, and we
should be exceedingly gratifed by some
such manifestation of public approval

aeE A cable dispatch from London


asS A cable dispatch from London,
dated 10th, states the Irish Church bill
threatens to becomes serious. Prepara-
lions are actively being made for inn
posing demonstrations. Gladstone has
consented to give them semi-oficial
sanction on the ground that the Lords
attempted to qualify their opposition
to the will Of the Government and the
people on the pretended change of
public opinion. 1t is certain, however,
that the Commons will refuse to yield
to the amendments of the Lords, except
n the three points not affecting the
principles of the bill. 1t is expected
that the open air meetings will be the
largest ever known.
