The Charges Against X. H. Dana Jr.

The Boston Transcript prints an explanation
OF the charges which have been made against
Mr.. Richard II. Dana, Jr., in connection with
his edition of ''Wheaton's International I.sw.'
1t says that it was formally agreed between Mrs.
Wheaton and Mr.. Lawrence, in consideration
of some negotiations by which Brockhaus, of
Leipsic, was to pay the former 6,0O0 francs, that
she was "to make no use of Mr.. Lawrence's
note, in new edition of 'Wheaton's Elements
without his written consent. +" When in 1868
the seventh edition of the Elements" appeared
with Mr. Lawrence's notes and snnotations
entitled "Lawrenoe's wheaton, Second Anno-
tated Edition" the title of the book was thus
changed without the consent of MI. Whea-
toms representatives, who owned the copy
right, and the editor had embodied. as the
owners allege, his own peculiar views of politi-
cal economy, which were adverse to the then
prevailing sentiments of patriotic Americans at
home and in Europe. The representatives Of
Mr.. Wheaton then employed Mr.. Dana as
new editor, and late in 1866 the eighth edition
appeared, with his name as editor. The Trans
script adds:
''Mr. Dana had no knowledge of any agree.
ment between Mr. Lawrence and Mr., Wbea-
toms representatives, except the one above
quoted and the whole claim of Mr.. Lawrence
rests on the question whether Mr. Dana had
the right to cite the same authorities on a Civ
en- topic that MIR. Lawrence did, and at the
same place. In rendering his decision Judge
Clifford decided some points in favor of both
parties, laid down the principles of law appli-
cable to the case and referred the whole mat
ter to Mr.. Palmetto report upon the annotations.
Mr.. Lawrence never obtained an injunction,
the whole edition has been srld aud the parties
are thinning of getting out another. The ques-
tions involved are purely of a private nature,
relating to contract which Mr.. Lawrence al
leges was made with him by the Wheatons,
with which Mr. Dana has nothing to do. Mr..
Dana IS but one of the parties to the suit, which
must, from the nature of things, ultimately be
decided by the United States Supreme Court,
aud no issues are involved which impair his fit
ness for the position to which he has been
nominated"

TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

POSSESSING all the advantage that one
cabinet officer can give another, Gen. Cass
became immensely rich at the expense of the
general government whose interests he was
bound to protect. Gen. Belknap meanly
took bribe amounting to about $4,000.
The Argus calls the first an "ordinary specu-
lation" while the second is an unparalleled
crime. We believe that both are grave Of
lenses for which both if living should be pun
ished. The first while cabinet officer got
several hundred thousand dollars out of the
government and the latter few thousand
out OF poorly paid soldiers. One was a
great fraud upon the government by zone
cabinet officer, permitted by another and
known by the administration. The other was
the theft of few thousand dollars the fact of
which his associates were not aware. We
cannot see any great difference except that
we have better opinion of the man who by
skill steals $4,000 than of the wretch who
meanly robs poor man of $40.

SUGAR NAPLES. RoIlin P. SAKE. Of
thoroughbred Durham notoriety, who
is now at Syracuse. New York, has re-
ceived all order from a resident of Ne
vada for 1920 sugar maple trees. This
has induced him to bring car load.
He will have them put up in bundles of
dozen each, which be will sell along
the line of the railroad at $3.50 per
bundle. The trees will arrive in April,
and persons desiring one or more bum
dies are requested to leave their orders
at this office. Naples are adapted to
this climate and a few Of them planted
at Guthrie's Ranch few years ago are
doing finely. They are among the
handsomest of American forest shade
trees and the rates at which they are
offered brings them within the reach of
all.

Snow ia the Valley - A Terrific
storm Cattle and sheep Dying
indian DepredatiOns.

indian Depredations.
QUIN RIVER, Jan. 80, '76.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: The snow is
fourteen inches deep in the valley on
the level, and in many places it has
drifted to the depth of two or three feet.
Last Thursday the
HEAVIEST SNOW STORM
Your correspondent, who is an old
resident, ever experienced in the State
prevailed here. The snow fell thick
aud fast, and regular gale, approach
ing hurricane i'll fury, swept over the
valley. The storm was binding, a
person co.ld scarcely maintain an up
right position or see a yard ahead. The
weather is now cold, and threatening
more snow.
CATTLE AND SHEEP DYING.
Stock cattle have commenced dying,
and should the present severe weather
continue month longer hundreds will
perish. The cattle men are not the
only losers, however, sheep are also
dying. Charles Mcconnell has lost il
the last two weeks between two and
three hundred head, and the Hoppin
brothers are losing more or less every
day. Hay is not very plenty in the val
10y. and should it give out before the
snow does, the loss will be immense.
Bad dreams are haunting the stock
men Of the valley.
THE INDIANS
Have commenced to kill cattle. There
is positive proof that they have killed
two beeves belonging to McColly, and
the supposition is that they have
slaughtered many more that have been
missed by the pale faces. 1t is hard to
fasien depredations of this kind upon
the proper parties, who. if discovered,
would be severely chastised. As yet.
there is no cine to the particular Indi-
ans who did the killing.

John Vance has three or four hundred
head of beef cattle among his large
herd, and McColly is stall feeding one

gave out aud hostilities between them
and the evil spirit ceased. A fresh
supply of those articles, which are in-
dispensible in their celebrations, was
procured from San Francisco, and the
war renewed. Last night continual
racket was kept up in Chinatown;
squibs. crackers and bombs were ex-
ploded until late hour. Gaily Decor
ated lanterns, emblazoned with fright
fui looking dragons, hung in front of
the buildings, and white people living
within quarter of mile of China

\ TERRIFIC STORM IN EASTERN
NEVADA.

Yesterday was one of the pleasant
est days of the winter in this vicinity.
The sun shone brightly. the atmosphere
was warm and spring like, and the
snow disappeared from the valley. 1t
was very different in the eastern part
of the State, however. A dispatch re-
ceived here last evening, stated that a
terrific storm ragged all day yesterday
at Cedar Pass. Independence ard
Moorts, on the line of the railroad.
The drifted snow covered engines and
snow-plows. which wore engaged in
the vain attempt to keep the track clear.
and all the men that could work around
them could make no Roadway in shovel
ing away the snow. which driftsd much
faster than they could shovel, and the
idea of getting trains through until the
storm ceased was abandoned.

The Fourth Of July.

Rapidly this greatest of all Nation
al holidays is drawing nigh, and we
will soon have to make preparations
to celebrate it if we intend doing SO
at all. In view of the fact that times
are hard, would it not be well if all
of our Sunday schools would COM
bine and have one graud, union cele-
bration. Let each one contribute in
the way of provisions what they are
able to, and then invite those whose
circumstances will not permit them
of doing anything, and let them be
made to feel at home. We believe
in a union of effort in everything,
and in this matter we are certain it
would work to a charm.

A Good Sign.

The large meeting at the Court
house Tuesday night is an indication
that our citizens are beginning to
awake to the Importance of taking
some interest and part in the selec-
tion of officers for the Corporation.
We are glad to see it. Let the citi-
zens of the various wards select their
best men for the Council, and in the
future give more attention to munic-
ipal affairs, and there will be less
cause for complaint, and none at all
for grumbling. The officers of the
Corporation disire the cooperation
of the citizens in the management of
affairs, and would at all times feel
encouraged to have their support and
confidence.
