Within the last NV wrecks. some of
the friends Of esmatiNl have been agi-
tating the subject OF bnilding new
school house in this district. While
we do not propose to dictate 10 the
Taxpayers of thetliStrict, we tlink 1t
not amiss to make a few suggestions:
The old house now used for u school
house, has been the subject Of remark
for 10 these many years. The building
is Old, to be suIe. but was not built
right in The first place, The ceilings
are very low, half tile windows brOken
out, and the building lEts goae tosack
generally, SO That it L. utterly unfit tor
the use it il put to; and the conse-
quence Is ilat there are about fifty
scholars IN Attendance where there

The Sunday school in charge OF
Elder j. A. Campbell. Superintendent
is becoming more attractive OF late,
yet there are certain class Of people
that seem to think it Is oilly place
for children, 50 they do not attend.
This Is not as it should be, Ii the
parents OF children would take nmre
interest in the school, and attend egu-
larly. the children would soon follow
their example. The time OF meeting
is 3 o'clock P. NJ, but, on the second
Sunday iii each mouth, this time Is
changed to 10 O'Clock A. NJ, i'll order
to give everybody an opportunity to
hear Rev. Jos. lIoberg lecture Oh
scripture geography, for the benefit of
the school. We have only heard one
of these lectures, but ii that was an
index of what we may expect in tile
future, they will prove . rare treat to
the school.

improvements that have been made
during the season, but they are 80 few

mention, however, that the City Faith

dollars iii graveling streets, making

as adaptation for the palpose intended,
they are unique. Tnree-ply carpets

The emulation between the two socie-

the other sex, and always will come

kind. There is a third society. just

JUDGE CARRIER.

We are reliably informed that this gem
tleman has resigned his position on the
Suprme Bench of this State, and will at
once resume the practice of his profes-
sion, Of which he is so distinguished an
ornament. Though doubtless the change
will be the source of greatly increased
profit to Judge CARRIER, yet We cannot
but regret it, as it deprives the people Of
the State OF the services Of one of the
ablest jurists that have ever practiced
within its limits. The Judges great
natural abilities, which were peculiarly
adapted to forensic studies, his vast
store of legal learning and experience,
combined with the most scrupulous iu-
tegrity, rendered his position in the
Supreme Court of peculiar value to the
people of Nevada. But while regretting
his resignation, simply regarding it
from public point of view, We have no
doubt that the Judge has acted wisely,
for there is, no doubt, that the income
from his professional practice will very
largely exceed the emolument of the
Judgeship. We understand that Jud e
CARRIER will shortly visit Phoebe with the
intention Of making heightened stay

THE JUDICIARY AND THE PRESS,

The telegraph brings us intelligence
of conflict between Chicago paper
and one of the Courts of that city. This
journal made some structures on the
conduct of the Court. and the latter
retaliated by arresting the publisher for
contempt. This is great abuse of the
powers of the Judiciary. and is stretch
ing their authority far beyond the limits
intended by the laws, defining and PM
ishing contempt of court. very broad
construction has been placed upon the
latter, for the purpose of protecting the
courts and enforcing their process and
DEGREES, but it was never intended to
become retaliatory power against pub
lie opinion or just criticism by the
journals of the day. Such prcsedings are
an abuse of the privilege which is en-
tirely indefensible. Judges are the
PUBLIC servants, and their courts form
the machinery by which the public veal
is advanced. They are not the masters,
nor are their tribunals above comment
or censure Of the public. Clothed as the
judges Of courts properly are with q
large discr, tionary power, they must rec
ollect that it is not given them for arbi-
trary use, or furthering personal ends,
but rather to give them the necessary
protection, and their orders the requisite
force to promote the ends of justice.
When these extensive powers are other
wise used that forms an abuse, which,
if persist in would have the effect of
bringing judicial authority into discredit
and destroying its usefulness. The
proper remedy for judicial officer who
may believe that he has been unjustly
accused or made the subject OF injurious
censure, is to apply to the law to estab-
lish his innocence, or to punish his Will
fer by means of an action for libel. That
is the only lawful redress for the pub
lie in general, and judges are for tram
scending their just privileges when they
attempt to use any other. When they
do, it only can be deemed an offensive
use OF their judicial authority. which
should 90 far to prove that they are
justly obnoxious to criticism. 1t is of
no avail for any Judge or Court to at
tempt to gag or intimidate the public
press; it is the duty of the latter, not
only to report the proceedings had in
the courts of the country, but to point
out in just and reasonable terms such
matters that call for remark or censure.
When such an eminently proper course
is attempted TO be punished and energy
stitled by taking arbitrary proceedings
in the nature of those had for contempt
in its proper legal sense that itself shows
that the Judge who so misconducts him
self is not fit for the position he holds.
Such men should be taught by the stern
est censure that when they overstep the
line of their official duty, they are
so amenable to public opinion, agains,
which their station, no matter how high,
will not serve as shield.

STATE AND COUNTY TICKETS.

The counting of votes of this, the prin-
pal precint of Lincoln county, having
closed, we are enabled to form tolera-
bly, just estimate of the result of the
contest in the county. Kendall will
probably obtain $50 majority; Sewall,
for Supreme Judge, about 200; Lewis,
State Printer, abont $50 majority OF
the county ticket, it appears that the
Democrats will elect one Senator, two #
not three Assemblymen, District Attor-
ney, Treasurer, Surveyor, Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction, three County
Commissioners, aud Public Administra-
tor. The Republicans will certainly
elect one State Senator, Sheriff and
County Clerk, leaving one Assemblyman
and Assessor doubtful. 1t is probable
the latter will not be decided until the
official count. On the township ticket
the Democratic candidates for Justice
of the Peace, Constable and School Trus-
tees are all elected.
The returns are simply confrmatory
OF what we stated day or two since,
that if the Democrats had remained uni
ted, they would have swept the field.
Personal differences and animosities were
taken advantage of by the opposite party
and caused the defeat of candidates that
were eminently worthy of receiving the
undivided support of their party, re-
suit that we believe even those who
caused it, on taking second thought
will sincerely regret.

ELECTION RETURNS from other parts Of
the State are very meagre and unrella-
bic. Many private dispatches havs been
received from various localities, but they
afford but little information. From the
kilograms that have come undr our no.
tice it seems conceded that Kendall has
been elected to Congress-. OF the other
candidates on the State ticket but little
has come to hand and that little seems to
be mere conjecture.
