JUDGE BRoCCHUs, OF NEW MEXICO

JUDGE BROCCHUs, OF NEW MEXICO.
The Santa Fe Gazette, of the 10th of Octo-
Der, is filled with the proceedings of public
dinner given by the citizens of Santa Re to
Judge P. E. Brocchus, who was appointed by
the present Administration, some eighteen
months since, one of the judges of the Terri
tory of New Mexico. The letters, speeches,
and toasts on the occasion, unequivocally
evince, on the part of that community, the
highest appreciation of the personal character
and judicial qualifications of Judge Brocchus
But for the peculiar institutions and character
of the people Of Utah, among whom Judge
Brocchus exercised the same high judicial
functions, he would, we doubt not, have been
as acceptable to the Mormons, as he is to the
inhabitants of New Mexico. Judge Brocchus
is now in this city, on visit to his family.
