SALES OF MINERAL INTERESTS UNCoNsTITI

SALES OF MINERAL INTERESTS UNCoNsTITU-
T1oNAL--The Nevada City Transcript of
the 26th makes the subjoined statement Of a
decision of Judge Reardan declaring sales of
mining interests unconstitutional:
Yesterday morning Judge Reardan de-
cded the case of Cullovin VS.. Morarty, in
volving the constituionaity Of the law passed
by the Legislature concerning mining part
nerships. The law provided that when
owners of a mining claim desired to develop
their claim, they could by notice call a
meeting, levy an assessment and afterwards,
if the assessments we're not paid, sell the
interest of the delinquent according to the
terms of the law. In this case the plant fl,
Cullovip, was sold out, and he brought suit
by his attorney, w. W. Gross, for posses
sion of the ground. The defendant, by his
attorneys, Williams & johnson, answered +,
setting up as defense the assessments and
sale under the law above alluded to. Mr..
Cross moved the court to strike out this de
fense on the ground that it was unconst-
tuional. The regularity Of the proceedings
for assessment and sale were not questioned, I,
the motion resting entirely upon the question
of the constitutionality Of the law. The case
was argued on Saturday, by Mr.. Cross in
favor Of the motion aud Mr.. Williams, in
opposition. Yesterday morning Judge Rear
dan rendered bis decision sustaining the po-
sition of Mr.. Gross. He held the law to be
in contrayention Of that part Of the Constie
tuition providing that "no person shall b.
deprived of life, liberty or property without
due process of law" holding that the latter
phase meant a suit and judgment of Court
Of competent jurisdiction. AS number of
sales have been made in this and other min
ing counties of the State, under the law, the
decision has an important bearing upon the
interests of parties. We have not learned
whether this case will be taken to the Su-
preme Court or not.

UNFORTUNATELY TRUE.-A Radical ex-
change, speaking of the retention of Leet in
the New York Custom House after his in
famous swindles have been laid bare, says:
"One of Grants prominent virtues is that
he never deserts friend" This, remarks
the Detroit Union, unfortunately seems to
be particularly if he is making money
out of him. He will stick closer to a man
who will pay him for it than almost any man
we know of. But where the "virtue "
comes in in Leet's case we do not exactly
comprehend, unless it is upon the principle
of "honor among thieves"
