THE AMEER's LETTER.


PARIS, December 8.
The first shipment OF horses from Amer
lea for the use OF the French army arrived
during the past week at Havre. The
French military authorities are much
pleased with them.
LONDON, December 8.
A special from Hull says the British
killed at Peschawer are nov estimated ct
40. The vast supplies which the Afghans
had accumulated for the winter in the vii
lagos around Peshawer, greatly relieve the
commissariat.
A correspondent at Lahore states that
high officials say the last letter OF the
Ameer Of Afghanistan is - unfriendiy -
his former one. The friendly expressions
are only conventional. The real tone u

messenger who brought the letter explained
that it was delayed, because he reached Al
Mesiid at noon on the 2lst, during the
6ghting, and returned to Csbul. He says
the Ameer was greatly incensed at his
return, and then ordered him to proceed.
A correspondent at Lahore says hat the
viceroy telegraphed . summary Of the
Ameer's letter 10 London on the 4th OF De-
cember. The Government was conse-

LINING LAWS.

Tn an article on this subject the Appeal
makes some good points against certain
evils which, under the present practice OF
The courts, seems inseparabIe from mining
i,sipstion. Taking the Callison case now
ON trial in Carson as an example, the
Appeal says; 'It seems to us that there is
Afforded 9 rare opportunity in the case now
before the U. 8. Circuit Court for q decision
vbich shall, in such measure as is pos
sibfe. set at rest certain fallacies concern
ing what may be called the technics of
mining operations. 1t is in vain to say
that a one ledge theory is not a legitimate
point from which TO start from in dealing
with a. evident o thing as the true assure
vein known as the Comstock. Geology is
mot an exact science; but there are, under
lying Its structure Of probabilities, many
excuses II not reasons for arriving at some
thing which approaches q certainty OF con-
clusion. But laws nave q foundation in
certain very understandable and plain cir
c~umstances. When the miners OF Cali
tornia first began to work the bars and
banks which are now known as placers,
they o took steps to prevent any such
piratical nonsense as is practiced in the
name Of mineral traces and continuous
deposits and 10, when q defined belt Of
precious quartz was found-as in the Com
stock-the miners by q law which has for
It's base the very soul Of justice, said in
effect, each man shall have his share OF
this strip Of this wealth-producing material
and not any more. Now If there has been
an occupancy of q true vein or ledge at
Candelaria, and rights acquired thereun-
der and il one party or another is an in
truder, let the intruding party be ousted
forever. But let no weakly accepted prom
ise, unskillfully maintained by maladroit
experts defeat the ends Of justice. Misap-
piled ja~wbreakers Of . ~garrulous technology
should not be counted as against the hon.
est rights Of the unlearned and the indus
trious. There is o thimble-rigging of
science as well as Of meaner things but
substantial rights should never be made to
play battledore to the shuttlecock of glib
or stammering professional experts. We
mean no offensive personal reflection but
