that the Enterprise does not reach Eu-

is not in the Enterprise Office, and our

surfing him that there is never any de-
lay in forwarding everything left in

! DEFENSE FOR JUDGE COLE.

EDITORS SENTINEL: We learn
through private sources that a meeting
was held last night at Hamilton to de-
nounce the action of Judge Cole in adj
journing the District Court for White
Pine county forthe term.
In justice to the Judge, we desire to
state the circumstances out of which
the trouble has all grown. The Judge
last fall had a severe attack of typhoid
fever. His illness compelled a post
ponement of the commencement of the
term in White Pine. About a week
before the time which the court had
heen aiiourned, the Judge had a re-
lapse II was subsequently, attacked
with gastric fever, and for several day VS.
he WAS in a very critical condition, and
it became certain that he could not
open his court in White Pine at the ap-
pointed time.
In this emergency he consulted us in
regard to the best course TO pursue.
Offering u send Cor another Judge To
hold the term, or to adjourn the term,
as we should advise. After due con-
sideration we concluded that it would
I've better for the interest of litigants and
for the public to have the court ad-
journed or the term. This we did
with great reluctance, as each of us had
cases pending hat we were anxious to
try.
Upon our advice the Judge ordered
the Clerk by telegraph To adjourn court
for the term. 1t seems that after he
had made the order the Clerk SEM a
certificate to the Governor. stating that
the Judge was so i'll that he could not
hold his term and thprcupou the Gov
ernor, ,ctthout consulting the Jadge. or
dered ttCO Judges TO hold it for him.
OF course IL WAS too late for he Judge
to undo his previous action, and the
III stands adjourned.
The Judge was too sick and feeble to
attend 10 the matter himself; in fact. il
was considered prejudicial TO his health
To lscuss the matter with him. Under
these circumstances he did what he
deemei te>t-s,nt for two friends who
understood the situation, and who had
an interest in the matter, and asked
their advice, ana followed IT,. We
think, upon thi~ Statement, every fair.
minded man will acquit the Judge of
any fault.
our backs are broad. Whatever
wong has betn lone We are to blame
for. Yours truly,
THos. WREN,

THE WHITE PINE DISTRICT
COURT.

In to-day's issue will be found a COM
munication, signed by Messrs. Wren
and Hillhouse, in defense OF the action
OF Judge Cole in adiourning the Dis
trict Court OF White Pine county for
the term. The communication ex-
plains itself, and should, we opine,
satisfy everybody in regard to the
matter so far as the motives which act
uated the Judge are concerned, al
though we can perceive no particular
necessity for laying extraordinary
stress upon that undsrscored portion
which states thst the Governor acted
In the premises ,oithomt consulting the
Judge. Governor Bradley acted upon
the notice he received from the Clerk
of White Pine county, behind which
he had no statutory right to inquire,
and in compliance with the law he or
dered the Judge of another district to
preside upon the bench, rendered tenn
porarily vacant by the illness OF the
regularly elected Judge. This was his
duty. and we can not perceive wherein
he has overstepped it in any particu-
lar or subjected himself to censure or
satirical comment.

RESIGNATION OF GEN. sCMENCK.

We received q few days ago informa-
ton Of . rumor current in London to
the effect that General Schenck, the
Minister Of the United States near the
Court of st. James, was about to ten
der, or had rendered, his resignation.
Last nights dispatches establish that
the rumor was we'll founded. Schenck
has resigned, and his resignation has
been accepted. 1t is reported that he
purposes to remain in England, d.
vested of his character of ambassador,
for the purpose of meeting, as an 1indi-
vidual, any and all charges that may
be brought against him in connection
with the emma" mining operation.
General Schenck's curse in this Is to
DO highly commended. We tiust his
action may result in establishing be-
fore the world the good faith of this
much talked OF transaction. We
miners are already convinced Of this.
but we wan the commercial world to
know it. These piteous walls from
English corporations, when a mining
property which they have purchased
proves Improbable, are growing tire
some. We have yet to learn ola single
instance in which a purchase of a mine
has been concluded upon the faith Of
the reports Of American experts. In
eyery instance bonds have been given
and the trusted a~gents-nostly Eng
lish agents-of the English managers
have, after full examination, reported
fully to their clients and final action
has been determined by such report.
The EMMA sale We believe to have
been q fair sale, and we hope to see the
Emma" case made a test case. A
short time previous to the sale it was
generally reported and believed among
the raining men of this coast that the
"Emma" was a vein of vast displayed
wealth, and of still vaster undevelcped
wealth.; and we have been reliably
by q gentleman prominently
connected with the transaction that a
price, nearly equal to that paid in En-
gland, had been offered for the prop
erty by San Francisco capitalists, and
by the Our inform
ant was one of the proposed buyers.
Mining is a venture, a chance, a search
in the earth for hidden treasure. In
the parlance of the English common
Proprietors of mines are still
styled Mining Adventurers." Peo-
pie living in q country where money is
pasy at four per cent, and who invest
the hope OF receiving sixty per cent,
solely upon their judgment, and
Il their judgment be at fault should
themselves in patience and
nv again. One success out Of fifteen,
i least one out of twelve, will yield
hem full return.
We know nothing OF the grounds Of
General Schenck's resignation, but we
have better spared a better man.
As a COMMUNICATIVE Vienna-he
