The following correspondence will ex-
plain itself. Although not written for
the public the letter of Prof Day pos
sesses public value, and he has con-
sented to its publication with the reply of

The Elko Independent says:
While distressing reports of
storms, extreme cold weather Fand
consequent heavy losses Of stock,
come from Montana, Oregon and
other stock-growing sections North
and East, the weather throughout
Nevada has been mild, and during
the greater portion of the Winter
to this time, quite pleasant. Stock
upon the ranges is doing finely, all
being now in excellent condition.
Diseases among stock on our ranges
is rarely heard of, and nothing of a
serious nature has ever attacked
the herds of this State. The fact
is, twenty-five years experience has
proved beyond question that Ne
vada is the safest as we'll as one of
the very best stock-raising sections
on the continent.
The stock-growing interest has
become next to the leading indus
try, particularly in this State, and
where intelligently pursued the
business has paid heavier interest
on the capital invested, than any
other industry that can be named. |

The Warner bill was framed to carry

three plans offered. The first IL 70 pur-

the price monthly by taking the average

preceding month.
The Secretary Of the Treasury is au-
thorized to purchase all bullion which

THE CALIFORNIA CAsE.-There
appears to be no precedent for the case,
but as a resignation made by an insane
person is clearly invalid, and as the
State Constitution provides no way of
vacating judicial office under like cir
cumstances, the most plausible conclu-
sion is that Judge Clough is still judge,
and the chief embarrassment will proba-
bly, centre upon the status to be accord
ed the acts of the appointee while oc-
cupving the bench.-Ncw York Tri-
6une.
Governor STONEMAN's appOintee
was de facto judge. He had color
of title to the office, and all his acts
must be recognized as valid. We have
strict marriage laws in Virginia yet
any marriage here, by whomsoeyer per-
formed. is valid, if it be consummated
with full belief on the part Of either
party that they have been lawfully mar
ried-provided the marriage is legal in
all other respects. So the acts Of de
facto Judge are valid. This is statute
law. The other is common law.
