A FROSTY YA1LEY.-Sierra. Valley is . basin nearly on the extremity of the Sier- ra Nevada, enclosed on all sides by noun tains, and lying nearly six thousand feet above the leveTof the ocean. In winter, when the snow lies to the depth of ten or twenty feet on the surrounding peaks, it seldom exceeds two or three feet in the valley. In favorable seasons the cattle have been known to find 2, scant pastur- age here even in winter. Frost visits the valley every month in the year, and per- haps as often as ten or fifteen nights in every month. .-O Ouerland Monthly. x.

Prospect Park, he presented a re-
volver and bowie knife and threat
ening to kill her unless she gave
him her purse. She jumped from
the car, when the driver and conduc-

R
From the silver State. !

Some time last Summer the col
ored citizens of Carson determined
to assert their claims to equality be-
fore the law. and to that end made a
demand for the admission of their
children to the public schools of that
place. \ case was made up to test
the question of their rights which
was taken to the SupremeC Court and
ably argued ON both sides. Now,
although the case was submitted to
the Court several months ago. no
decision has yet been made. with
ont any gOJd cause being shown for
the delay. As a majority of the
Court are Radicals, and n of them
is 4 candidate for reelection, the be-
lief is gaining ground that the de-
cisiOn is withheld because the Radi-
cal members of the Court have not
the moral courage to face the music
and decide the case one way n the
other. To decide it in favor of the
blacks. and thus force their children
into the common schools, would
lose the party votes, and to decide 1t
against the blacks would lose the
warm sympathy ofthe colored voters.
The strong presumption. therefore
Is, that the delay arises from moral
cowardice, unworthy the dignitied
position which the Court occupies.
The Radical majority of the Court
Is. no doubt, anxious that Summers
Civil Rights bill should become a
law, which would relieve them of all
responsibility, and give the blacks
all they demand without the assist
ance OF the Court.

were examined. The evidence is
very strong against the Governor
and members of the Legislature,
showing violence, bribery, etc.
Carr, oneof the Yarmouth leaders in
the House, testified that the schism
in the Republican party originated
between the Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor Dunn, and that the
Federal officials afterwards sided
with Dunn. Carr had not remained
in De Sofa Parish, which he repre-
sented, over three months all told.
and had not been there since elected,
in 1870. During the investigation
it has been shown that there are
many members of the Legislature
who have never resided in the par
lshes they pretend to represent.

Will NOT Touch AT MAzATLAN.-
The San Francisco Chronicle of the
ID says:
The steamer Montana, advertised
to sail for the Gulf of California
this morning. will not touch at
Mazatlan, owing to the fact that
Mazatlan is now in possession Of the
Rev0lutionists. Some time ago the
Mexican Government declared the
port closed, and instructed Consul
Rivas of this city to that effect. 1t
is stated that the Revolutionists sent
an agent by the Montana on her last
trip from the Gulf to purchase arms
and munitions of war here and ship
them to Mazatlan. As to-day
steamer will not call at that port, 1t
is probable that an attempt will be
made to run the blockade with a
coasting schooner.

making a bite war on the new
United States Stric5 Attorney, Geo.
C. Bates, who l<Gow III Washington
on business connected With his Office.
Bates is accused u Toe much athlia-
ton with the Narmons-or in other
words Of possessing i little common
sense and honesty. As he was not
IL the Territory much e a month,
comingan entire stranger, the charge
against him Is silly.
We had some acquaintance with
Mr.. Bates some Years ago. and when
his appointment to Il position was
~telegraphed. we predicted 4 rough
time for him in Utah. He is q gen
tleman of too much ability and ex-
perience to long entertain a lively
respect for the small politicians who
are pulling each Others hair in that
Territory. They fear his influence,
are jealous Of him. As a Republican
he is older than any of them. His
long experience as an [. S. prose
cutting officer in the Territory of
Michigan, ana subsequently in some
of the Territories still further west
ward, has taught him what is due
from courts as well as people and
no lawyer can entertain much respect
for the lawless decisions for which
/ Judge Mexican is famous. The
Federal officials have discovered that
they cannot use him to carry out
their revolutionary programme, after
the carpet-bag style of the Southern
States. Bates evidently understands
the situation, and is disposed to exc
cute his Office with frmness, but
with moderation, in accordance ritt
law, and not orer it. 1t is not sur
! prising therefore that the Radical
iunto at Salt Lake have opened 4
war upon him. and requested his re-
moval from office. This is the treat
ment which most men in political
life in these days receive, who pos
sess any independence of character,
and the requisite integrity and in
%tellect to properly and efficiently
perform their duties.
Judge Mexican is a man OF ability
and force Of character, but better
ADAPTED by natural traits to rule des-
politically yer some Tartar tribe.
than to sit upon the bench where
cold-blooded law is to be eXpounded.
He has imbibed the too prevalent
idea that courts are above all re-
sponsibility ; that whatever PROPOSE
ton a judicial officer choose to assert
shall be the rule of the case without
reference to law or equity. Judge
Mexican will do well to remember
thls courts are instituted to adR1inis-
ter law, and not to make it that I'M
der our system Judges are as amen
able for their acts while on the
bench as any other officer. The
persecution of Mr.. Bates may sue
coed. but at the most it will be only
a temporary success. If the Presi-
dent were as we'll posted on the
character Of his appointees In Utah,
and the real condition of the Terri
tory, as some who have frequently
visited it from year to year, who
have no personal interest in the mat
ter, the change he would make, if
any, would not be in the Office of
District Attorney, but Of those who
are bawling for his removal. Mean
time Bates in Utah reminds us of
that illustrativequadrup in a warn
latitude without claws. Possibly he
may find them in Washington.
