THE DEADLOCK IN LINCOLN CouN-

THE DEADLOCK IN LINCOLN CoUN-
TIVE clip the following from the
Phoebe Record Of Saturday last. Meth
er of the Phoebe papers give us any
further information; but from the fact
that the District Attorney, Assessor
and Sheriff have filed new bonds, and
those bonds have been accepted by the
County missioners, we infer that
there are two opinions in Lincoln coun-
ty upon the question of practical dis
organization. There are now needed
only a County Auditor and a Justice
Of the Peace to enforce collection OF
taxes:
The Board of County Commissioners
met yesterday at IL o'clock, full Board
present, d. A. Fnlks in the chair. The
following business was transacted:
Bonds of Il. p. Dayton, County AS
SCISSOR; a. Fife. Sheriff and ex-olliciO
tax collector; and Geo. Goldthw lite,
District Attorney, presented and APP
proved. G. X. Alexander was at.
pointed County School superintendent
in place of w. II. nolman resigned,
upon his filing bond of $1,000. The
Board then adjourned TO Monday, May
29th, 1876.

AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL JURY.-The
ease of James l.. Johnson, tried and
CONVICTED of the murder of Ryan in
Lander county last year, was appealed
to the Supreme Court. The ground of
appea. was the unconstituiionality of
the act of last session, known as the
Jury Act. The Supreme Court has
passed upon the case, and affirming its
decision in the McClear case, pro-
nououed last January, has re versed the
judgment of the Court and remanded
the case for a new trial.

We learn from our exchanges in the
western part of the State that on Friday
last the State Board of Education
adopted a resolution to introduce Shell
don's Readers into the public schools

bear upon the Board to secure the
adoption of the Pacific Coast series,
compiled and published by A. l.. Ban
croft & Co, of San Francisco, and some
of the newspapers betray great chagrin
at the action of the Board. For our
part we have never lei the necessity
or advisaLility of any change. The

pride is all very we'll, but it should not
carry us so far as to induce us to adopt,
for the instruction OF youth, an infe-

printed in California and styles itself
the .sPacific Coast Reader" This mat

Education for some months, and we

Mr.. Kelly to believe that each acted
in the matter from a conviction OF

changes, to the effect that Bancroft's

point" Is certainly uncalled for, and
is, we believe, totally unwarranted
The change, we believe, does not 60

Sawyer declared that that portion OF

manager of a theater, or similar insti-
tuition, guilty Of misdemeanor who
should refuse admission to n colored
person, unconstitutional aud void.
The Judge quoted and read at some
length Supreme Court rulings in u

CUSTER ON BIcCLELLAN.

1t seems that Uuster's greatest sin il
not his evidence showing tLat he made
known the traffic In post-traderships
to the Government fouc years ago.
That to be sure was bad enough, and
his making known the fact after
Belknap's detection was worse.
Ills exposure of the politico military
scoundrel Merrill was also serious sin
in the eyes of all good Republicans;
but in his last number OF "War Me
moirs" in the Galaxy he has done the
unuttcrable thing. He has deliberate
ly gone to work and praised General
Mcclellan for the organization and
discipline of the Army of the Potomac,
and has furthermore stated it as his
opinion that Mcclellan was soldier
! "whose mental training and abilities
"were of higher order, and whose
military qualifications and knowledge
"were superior to those possessed by
"any officer who subsequently, led the
"Army of the Potomac to battle"
Taking into account the fact that
Grant was one of those who subsequent
ly led that army to battle, it is plain
that Custer considers the man who
emerged from the war as its hero, in. .
ferior to him who has been held up as
its great military failure His opinion
on that point will not be deemed so
singular as it would have been several
years ago. People are beginning to
take comprehensive view of the
events of the war, anil Grants cam
paign against Richmond, with his i'm
mense preponderance of force, his ab.
solute power and the hearty coopera-
tion of the Administration, though
finally successful, will hardly stand
comparison with McClellan's campaign
in 1862. Custer says that although
Mcclellan lacked experience IN large
commands, which those who followed
him possessed, yet he was go nobly
endowed by nature and education as a
leader, that he would have put down
the rebellion without difficulty, if
nothing had opposed him but the Con.
federate armies in his front. Speaking
on his honor as soldier the writer
bluntly adds:
"The defeat of Mcclellan was not
the result of combinations made either
in the Confederate capital or in the
camp of the Confederate army, but in
Washington. 1t was tho result of an
opposition whose birth and outgrowth
could be traced TO the dominating
spirits who. at that time. were largely
i'll control OF the Federal Government.
1t was not the open opposition of
enemies in his front, but the half.hid-
den interference of foes in his rear.
that succeeded in marring the complete
SUCCESS of McClellan's com binations
for the suppression of the rebellion"
General Custer gives instances from
his own experience, to prove the truth
of this statement, and in recalling the
intrigues of that time many will be in
clincd to put faith in his facts and the
differences which he draws from them.
1t is strange at this day to hear one of
the popular soldiers of the war re-echo
50 clearly the bitter charge which Nc.
Clcllan himself made from Sayage's
Station fourteen years ago, to Stan
ION: "If | save this srmy now, tell
