LEGIsLA1 URE OF New MEXICO
Major r. III. Weightman, member
of the Legislature Of New Mexico,
and elected by that body to the Sen
ale of the United States, has address
sed letter to the editors of the St.
Louis Republican, in reply to ali ai,::i,
Gle in that paper In which it was rep
resented that number of the mem
bers Of the Legislature having protes-
ted against certain acts thereof, and
withdrew therefrom, thereby leaving
it without quorum, the Legislature
proceeded to elect members 10 fiji the
vacancies, &c. From this letter,
which is dated ST. Louis, August d,
1910, we make the following extracts:
"a factious attempt wds made to de-
stroy the quorum, and six members
withdrew, sending protest or letter,
Of an insulting character, to the
House of Representatives based up
on the pretended ground that Mr..
Montoya, eff Santa Anna county,
could not get his seat; but, as was
pithly said by MIR. Juan Parea, Sen
ator from the southern district, the
real reason was not that he could not
get his seat to-day, but because he
could not hold it to-morrow'-the
most satisfactory evidence having
reached Santa Fe that the comtesting
candidate was legally elected.
"For the insult contained in their
letter, the six signers were promptly.
expelled, the two contesting members
from Santa F'e admitted, and Gov.
Alvarez notified Of the existing va
cancies; the election to fill which was
to have been on the Goth of this
month.
"The number of representatives
being twenty-one, of whom one was
absent, the withdrawal Of six others
could not defeat the quorum. without
bong reinforced by the project pre-
viously tried of Chief Justice Hough-
ton, the supposed author of the pro-
test, and the recently defeated candi-
date for the Senate.
"One of the members ofthe House
of Representatives was thrown in
prison by warrant of Judg. Hough
ton, charged with being an accom-
p]ice in murder committed nearly
four years ago, and horses were pre-
pared TO carry him off to another
county, when, having been brought
before two justices Of the peace by
writ ofhabeas corpus, the prosec,l-
ting attorney, gentleman of the
same political party of the Judge,
positively refused to prosecute, and
has since stated that he considered
the whole proceeding partisan.'
MExIco.--Late adyices, contained
in the New York Tribune, from NJ NJ exx- Ga

anything else than flouriehing or
settled condition. The Indians con.

and il is almost certain that General
Arista will be elected President at
the approaching election. Great
hopes are entertained of his adminis-

cnt writes; "I'he opinion is somewhat
prevalent that o revolution is at hand
but feel assured ofthe contrary, as
the people know that nothing has
been gained by them--not' even nv
those who have spent thousands out
OF their own pockets for such purpo-
