OFFICIAL DUTY.

The wrangle lately going on in San
Francisco respecting the conduct Of GER
tain county officials, should be a warl-
ing and guide to officers in like posi-
tons. They ought always to recollect
that they are the creatures of and con-
trolled by the statutes, and when they
cease to obey the requirements of law,
no matter on what grounds, whether Of
expediency or otherwise, they become
offenders and liable to penalties. When
such officers presume to act contrary to
the provisions of Law regulating their
several Offices. they usurp the functions
of the Legislature and the courts, and in
effect legislate and pass upon their own
case. Whatever may have been Judge
SANKEY'S motive in making his charge
to the San Francisco Grand Jury, there
can be no doubt that his position is le-
gally right. and that held by Otis and
the Treasurer is as certainly wrong.
This being the case, the latter officers
should have recollected and complied
with the old time sailors maxim, "Obey
orders if il breaks owners" So long as
they acted according to law, that would
have been an impenetrable shield that
nothing could have pierced. 1t would
be better if all officials would follow this
rule, both for their own benefit and that
of the community of which they are the
servants.

FLOODING THE DESERT.


The project Of flooding the Mohaye
Desert by turning upon it either the
waters Of the Gulf of California, or those
of the Colorado River, was considerably
agitated some months ago, but now
seems TO be lost sight of. In order,
however, to throw some light on the sub
ject. We direct the readers attention to
tile letter Of Mr.. Falichet TO the editor Of
Appleton's Journal, in reference to the
projected flooding OF tine Sahara Desert
in Africa. 1t was claimed by those favor
ing the flooding OF the Mohave Desert
that it would have a wonderfully bene-
fetal climatic influence. This is how
Mr.. Falichet discusses the climatic view
of the question:
Having read in the Scientific Notes"
Tor your issue of November LIST, "A para
graph on paper read before the French
biographical Society, by Captain Beau
delaire, IN which be urged the feasibili-
ty of creating an interior sea in the Des-
ert Of Sahara, will you allow me the
privilege of asking, through your valua-
Die paper, the answer to one question
not as to the feasibility of the plan, but
as to its ultimate effect from Europe
after 1t Is accomplished.
1t Is a well known fact that the rays of
the sun do but little towards melting the
snow and ice accumulated on the Alps
during the Winter; and all persons who
have lived in Switzerland know that the
wind called Vaudaire, or Fohn, which is
the dying breath of the African simeon.
often causes the waters OF the lake of
Geneva and other Alpine reservoirs to
rise several feet in the course of twenty
four or thirty.siX hours, and thus shows
that wind to be the chief agent in reduc-
ing the Alpine glaciers.
If the Sahara, instead OF being des-
ert, was sea, would the simeon still
reach the Alps? And if it did, would its
heat not DO SO considerably reduced as
to have little or no effect upon the
glaciers! And is it not safe position that
the glaciers would in the course Of time,
spread all over Switzerland, and perhaps
over large portion OF Europe?
A point in favor Of my theory is that
all geographers concede the Sahara to be
the bed of dried-up inland sea; while
eminent scientists see in the granite
boulders found over large portion of
Europe proof that, during prehistoric
period, all that country was covered with
glaciers. 1t is not safe TO argue that
these two facts were cause and effect,
and that, by restoring the cause by the
creation Of an inland sea in Africa, the
climate in Europe would be most serious
ly affected.

Pacific Coast.

SAN FRANcIsco, March l3.-The fol-
lowing dispatch is just received from
Palisade: Yesterday about five miles east
of Battle Mountain, while the eastern
bound passenger train was passing, the
track began sinking. and it is reported
sank for distance of ten miles. Al
though the train passed over in safety,
the west bound train was held at Carlin
last night. A construction train was sent
to put the track in order. 1t is tempo
rarily fixed, and the west bound train
passed over it this morning.
BATTLE MOUNTAIN, March 13.- The
track on the Central Pacific Railroad
about sixteen miles from here, at the
Stone House, is reported impossible.
The track is sunk for distance of one
and half miles and about As yards Of
track is washed away. A culvert and
portions CT the road are also washed
away a short distance east Of Golconda.
n WOih ilhIu Was SEM uONu tuis iuOiu-
ing from Carlin and is still working at
the Stone House break, but it is thought
that no trains can get through to-day.
The force employed cannot fix it before
tonight or the morning. The west
bound passenger train is side-tracked
here, also one freight train and q large
cattle traiu. The trouble is caused by q
great quantity of water coming down
from the mountains during the late thaw
which has formed perfect flood OF
water over the whole country, and is
washing away culverts and in some
places covering the track eighteen inches
and two feet. 1t is now storming with
snow and hail.

passenger train was going west on the

No WESTERN MA1L.-The mails are
still demoralized. For two days we have
had nothing from the West, and the
probabilities are that to-day's stage will
bring no mail from that direction. The
operator here informs us that Saturday 5
eastward bound train passed Reno at 8
O'Clock last night; Sundays train was
close after it, and Mondays had not yet
emerged from the snow drifts of the Ser
ras. So it will be seen that unless there
is some mistake in our advices which we
do not apprehend, it is impossible for
the western mail to arrive here before to-
morrow. This state of affairs is ex.
tremely perplexing, but as there is nc
help for il our readers must call into re.
QUESTION an extra stock of patience and
grin and bear it.. No blame attaches
to the stages, as excellent time, the con.
dition OF the roads considered, is being
made. The elements and the railroad
are responsible for the delay Eureka

DEATHS HARVEST During the past
few days several distinguished citizens
have been called to their final rest-Fill-
more, Sumner and Wigfall. These men
might well be pronounced antitypes of
each other-Fillmore cool, impassive
and conservative, Sumner and Wigfall
each pronounced extremists. The latter
two carried their principles to the furthest
and fullest extent, and were as diametri-
cally opposite as the poles. yet each were
sincere and faithful in the expression of
their views, and each suffered and tri-
umphed in their turn. Let the faults

good qualities live in the memories of
their countrymen.
