Scratch rascal and you'll be apt to find
friend, relative, or confidential official of
the present ruling power, When. four
years ago, congressional committee went
through the prodigious thefts and rascal
ties of the New York custom house, the
men most inculpated were the presidents
friends and intimates, Thomas Murphy,
and the young gentlemen Leet and Stock

When the French arm frauds were yenti-
lated, Grant and his friends were again
found arm deep in the swag; when the
Medina sandstone frauds were uncovered,
Grant, Babcock, and kindred spirits were
the men who owned the stock; when
the San Domingo business was proven a
great attempt on the treasury,it was found
that General Grants friends held all the
keys to the anticipated treasure When
the Black Friday maelstrom sucked in the
national prosperity for year, Brother-in-

been a mystery to those not up to the
game of politics how certain officials in pet

Political Corruption in New Mexico

Pedro Valdes, Democratic candidate for
delegate in congress from New Mexico at
the late election, and who was reported to
have been defeated, has resolved to contest
the right of the successful candidate, the
Hon. 5. b. Elkins, to seat, Mr.. Valdes
bases his contest on the ground of shameful
and audacious frauds perpetrated at the
election by the Republicans. 1t is charged
that in some precincts the polls were
opened before sunrise and closed before
nine o'clock in the morning. The contest
instituted by Valdes will be likely to bring
out some strange facts connected with the
existing order of things in that territory.
The very fact that there is any shadow of
foundation for propagating such charges
as have been extensively published looks
bad for the present government of the
territory of New Mexico. Well informed
persons declare that at the
recent election justices Of the peace
summoned tie Republican voters to come
to the polls and vote before 8 A. NJ, and
that when these had voted the polls were
closed for the day, so that when Demo
cratic voters came later in the day they
were informed that the polls were closed
and the election over. The Republicans
of the territory, it seems, are in much
trouble on account of the contest filed by
Valdes. They are in great dread lest con-
gress should take the matter up and order
an Investigation into the general misman-
agement of public affairs in New Mexico.
when such shameful practices must be
made known to the public outside of the
territory, 1t is evident, from the account:
which We receive from various points il
New Mexico, that the territorial admins.
tration is by no means immaculate, and
that fraud and corruption are freely en-
ployed by the ring which now controls the
territory in order to further their designs.
By all accounts New Mexico is nest which
needs to be purified of its foulness.-&

The wind and the weather were not to be

But the ass had adopted the whim,
That two at time was load never

For the back of one ass, and he seemed
quite ashamed
That two should stick fast upon him.
"Come Dobbin, says Peter, "I'mthink-

I'm thinking we won't" says the ass
In language of conduct, and stuck to
the spot
As if he he had sworn he would sooner
be shot
Than lift up toe from the grass.
Says Peter, says he, "I'll whip him
little
"Try it, my dear, says she, ,-
But he might just as well whipped u

The ass was made of such obstinate
metal
That never a step moved he.
'I'll prick him, my dear, with needle, 81

Tho ass felt the needle and up went his
heels;
I'm thinking" says Peter, "he's be-
ginning to feel
Some notion of moving-behind.
Now lend mo the needle and I'll prick
his ear,
And set tother end, too, agOing."
Tho ass felt the needle and upward he

But kicking and rearing was all, it APP
peared,

While one end is up, tother sticks to

But I'm thinking a method to move him
