EXECUTIVE MANSION,


WAsHlNGToN, Jan. -, 1874. I
To Governor Davis, Austin,
Texas: Your dispatches and
letters reciting the action
of the Supreme Court of Texas
in declaring the late election UNI
constitutional, and asking the use
of troops to prevent unprecedented
violence, are received. The ca
is not made in accordance with
the Constitution Of the United
States and acts of Congress under
it, and cannot therefore be grant
ed. The act of the Legisla-
ture of Texas providing for the re-
cent election having received your
approval, and both political par
ties having made nominations,
and having conducted a campaign
under its provisions. would it not
be prudent, as well as right, to
yield to the verdict of the people
as expressed by their ballots. . ......,

John Holler, a carpenter, while
engaged in repairing the water
wheel DIT Gambrill's mill, at Mo-

was caught in some machinery,
which was put in motion by
leak in the forebay through which
the water flowed and filled the
buckets of the wheel. He was
terribly crushed and mangled, and

NEW MExICo's CAPITAL.-W With
the exception Of our neighbor,
Arizona, less is known of New
Mexico by the world at large than
any other territory of the Ameri-
can union. Strange as it may seem
yet it is nevertheless true, that the
territorial legislature, which con-
vend within the past few days, has
assembled in the capitol whose
foundation was laid nearly CEN
fury before the pilgrim fathers
landed on Plymouth Rock. Still
more strange is it that this bull
ding, the ''old palace" which is
used conformity by the executive
legislative and judicial bra inches
of the government, was COM
menced as far back as 1910. and
still remains incomplete, never
having been finished. 1t is one of
the many wonders of this remote
inland country, and it is "a some
what unsightly structure, despite
its name. 1t is constructed of
adobt but still is a very substan-
tial building. 1t is proposed that
during the coming year it SHALL
be remodeled and repaired. This
will cost several thousand dollars
an amount which is tritiing in the
yes of an enterprising American
but which appears to be very
large to many of the" Greaser" or
half-breed Mexican population,
whose ideas of liberality in behalf
of public improvements are ex-
tremely contracted. Cor. Chicago

The Entertainment at Compton.

A concert and supper was given at
Compton, Wednesday night, for the
benefit of the "organ fund.-" the de-
sign being to purchase an organ for
the use of the church, A friend who
brings us report of the affair, pro-
nounces it o grand success in every
particular. The managers wished to
raise two hundred dollars for the pur-
pose stated, and expected to give two
entertainments to secure that amount,
but the attendance was beyond all eX
pectation, and nearly three hundred
dollars was taken in. The entertain
ment consisted of music, vocal and in
strumental, with dialogues and recita-
tons, the whole supplemented by
fine supper. The exercises lasted from
s until 10 O'clock, when the company
paftook of the refreshments prepared.
After the supper was over, about 10
o'clock, the exercises were again taken
up and lasted until 2 o'clock i'm the
morning, so thoroughly interested was
everyone present. The exercises were
all so we'll carried out that We cannot
particularize any portion. Miss Rog-
ers brought down the house with her
recitations; Miss Brown presided most
acceptably at the organ. To Professor
Lewis, who managed the affair, great
credit is due for its remarkable success;
and now our Compton friends will
have their organ, and know that it
has been well earned.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-The Mi
kado to-day brings Honolulu dates to
May 9th. The Legislature was opened
on the 30th of April, in the presence of
about one thousand people. The King
delivered an address. He said the re-
sources of the country had been largely
depleted by extraordinary expenditure
necessary for the removal of lepers to
Molokai, the burial Of two sovereigns
and the election of their successors.
He favors commercial treaty with
the United States, but depreciates any
cession of territory TO the United
States. He favors furnishing facilities
for steam navigation with San Fran
cisco and Australia, and recommends
a commission of learned men to codify
the laws. The Legislature defeated
the proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution separating the houses. This
measure was advanced by Hunalilo,
who hopes thereby to restore the Con-
stitution Of 1852.
The Cyphrenes, from Australia, was
overdue at Honolulu. 1t was the be-
lief that she had met with some acct
dent. She was about twelve days
overdue.
