New MEXlco.-Ther are many
reasons why New Mexico should not
be admitted as a State at present, and
the most weighty among them arc
.hosc stated yesterday, in tho House,
by Mr., G.. i. Ioar, during the dc.
bate which ended with the passage OF
the bill providing for the admission
of the Territory. Five-sixths of the
population, he said. capnot read or
write, and a very large proportion do
not understand the English language.
Tho vote in the House upon this bill
will be a surprise TO the country, and
The surprise will be greatly increased
If the Senate shall reach a similar con.
clusion. OF all the Territories New
Mexico is, perhaps, least fitted by the
character oil It's population for admis.
sion, and the general interests Of the
country demand that IL shall be kept
in the present condition until that
charaeterhas very materially changed.

HAPPINESS AT LAST.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is NOT DUE,

It would be curious TO know what
reasons can be advanced for the
transfer of Mr.. Richardson from that
easy position for the demonstration
of incapacity- -Secretaryship of the
Treasu1y-to the high judicial office
of Member Of the Court of Claims.
It is not at all new thing for intel
ligent folk to whisper among them
selves that the gentleman in question
is q financial charlatan, nor is it o
rare thing to hear folk say that a man
stepped with tho deep and damning
dishonor of completely in the rascally
Sanborn contracts is unfit to be trust
ed with any office of responsibility.
Yet, we are informed by telegraph
that when his present Office becomes
too hot to hold him-thanks to
Congressional investigation which
has opened up his talnished record
Secretary Richardson will be trans
ferred to seat on the Bench. 1t is
absolutely shameful that such an in
dividual shouldfbo so honored. Why
is he retained in any position at pub
lie expense? 1t cannot be that his
personal worth or known services to
the people entitle him to it; nor can
it be regarded as safe to intrust high
judicial functions to man who has
shown such gross incapability as TO
permit his underlings to act for him
in the most responsible affairs of his
Office. That which he may privately
have done for advancement of the
interests of u certain class Of politi-
clans may TO them be u sufficient
reason for the honor done him, but
the public will be curious to know
why, instead Of being permitted to
resign and honored with n new ap-
pointment, he is not degraded from
his Office. IS. n Chronicle.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA DISGRACE.
1t is only because the courage OF
Gov. Moses oozed out of him with
marvellous rapidity that the recent
scenes in Arkansas are not 10 be re-
peated in South Carolina Having
been indicted for grand larceny,
Moses called out his militia to protect
him from arrest; but no sooner had
his soldiers been posted about the
State House than lie thought better
Of the matter, and surrendered him
self TO the sheriff, II will DC seen
that this was a very different affair
from that in Arkansas, and it was in
all respects more disgraceiul. Moses
could not pretend that he was in any
way serving any public interest. Ife
was simply defyiDg the laws he had
sworn to execute il order to protect
bis own person from arrest. 1t is
about time these Southern Governors,
actual aud imaginary, ceased to dis.
grace the country in the manner thoy
hayc been doing Of late,

A MoUTmFUL OF sNAGs.

| "A W. t'ANANesa
|
A well-known druggist doing bust
ness on fourth street recently fell a
victim to sad misfortune, The
druggist advertises his business
largely and in consequence enjoys a
large patronage and is well-to-do.
He is middle-aged man and is
rather sensitive. He is engaged to
be married to a young lady in Oak
land, and would die rather than tell
her that he wears false teeth. Such,
however, is the fact. The druggists
mouth is as full Of snags as section
of the beds of the Mississippi. Con
sequently fearing that the ladies
would not think him .pll that fancy
could paint or heaven model, before
entering upon his courtship, ho had
new set of patent back-aetion doub-
le distilled vulcanite molars and in
cisors built for his mouth.
The wedding was to have been
celebrated last week, but was pre-
vented IN n most singular way,
SAD MISFORTUNE.
Early on the morning of tho we'd
ding day the expectant bridegroom
arose, and putting on clean collar,
he committed himself to the care of
Providence, and started off to his
restaurant to get his breakfast. The
teeth felt uncomfortable, as such
artificial attachments generally do,
The druggist took them out and laid
them on the table while reading his
ChroQicle and waiting for his beef
steak to be cooked. He was soon
deeply absorbed in his paper and
thought nothing more of his dental
assistants until his beefsteak arrived
half an hour afterwards. Then he
looked for his teeth, but alas! They
were missing. Somebody had nip
ped them from under his very nose.
The restaurant was searched high
and low; the walters were put
through q rigid cross-examination;
but not trace of the teeth could be
discovered. A reward of $40 was
offered, but the teeth were not forth
coming.
OH! MISERY!
The druggist looked at his watch
and found that he must soon leave
for Oakland. Something must be
done. He rushed back to the
dentists and tried every set of teeth
the latter had, but it was of no use,
None of them would fit. The drug
gist burst into stream of perspira-
ton. There was no help for it. He
could not face his bride without a
whole tooth in his head. He must
postpone the wedding. With a heavy
heart he wended his way homeward,
and after writing a note to his ex-
pectant father-in-law begging him to
defer the ceremony for one week on
account of the sudden and alarming
illness of the writer's sister in the
country, he packed his carpet-bag
and fled from the city, with new
set of teeth in course OF construction.
HAPPINESS AT LAST.
The next day he received n tele-
gram from q friend who was in the
secret, informing him that, under
the stimulus of the reward, the teeth
had been found in the restaurant
swill barrel by n waiter. The coun-
try sister speedily recovered, and on
the following day the druggist re-
turned. The teeth ware polished up;
the wedding followed two days after
wards; the druggist is happy, and
his vile, serenely unconscious Of the
real facts of the patter.-S. H.

PREsooTT, the historian, when at
college, was subject to uncomfortable
fits of laughter whicf amounted
almost to a disease. He once went
to the study of the Professor of Rhet-
oric to receive q private lesson in elo-
cution, no ono else being present.
Prescott took his attitude as orator
and began the speech he had com
mitted, but after proceeding through
a sentence or two something ludicrous
suddenly came across him, and it was
all over with him at once. The Pro-
fessor no laughing man-looked
grave and tried to check him in tone
of severe roprimand. This only
seemed to aggrayate Prescott's par
oxysm, and he tried in vain to beg
the Professors pardon, but he could
not utter an ineligible word. At
last the righteousness of the situation
seized the Professor himself, his fea-
lures relaxed and he began to laugh.
The more they looked at each other
the more they laughed, each holding
his sides, with tears running down
his cheeks. OF course there was an
end of the reprimand, and equally
an end of defamation. The Pro-
fessor was the first to. recover him
self, saying, "Well, Prescott, you
maY 90; this will do for to.daY."

Late occurrencesre reported from Cen.
tral America will strengthen the Ill
repute in which the world holds the
civilization Of those tumultous little
Republics. The British Vice Consul
at San Jose de Guatemala, having a
personal difficulty with the Comman.
dante of the port, a ferocious beast,
was condemned to receive four hun
dred lashes. Half that number was
actually administered when the vic.
tim, more dead than alive, was res,
pited for twenty-four hours. Next
day, the power of the Commandante
was toppled over by the arrival of an
other military functionary; fleeing to
an American steamer in the harbor,
the brutal Commandante was shot at
and killed by some of the passengers
on board; and thus the revolving
affair was,tragically terminated by the
murder Of the Central American Off
cial. Unhappily, this whole misera-
bic business does not leave us in a
position to throw any stones. The
conduct of the Commandante was
monstrous, and the Government Of
Guatemala will have to make some
reparation to Great Britain therefor.
But the murder OF Gonzales while at
tempting to board an American
steamer does not reflect much credit
on the civilization of the Pacific.
