SILVER City, New MEXICO,
A pril 18Th 1QTR

SILVER CITY, NEW MEXICO,
April 18th, 1875.
EDITOR GAZETTE:-The Americans,
so called, in contradistinction TO the
Mexican race, are very generally bit
terly opposed to Elkins' desire to make
New Mexico II State, as are indeed,
four-hlths Of those Of Spanish blood;
and this fact Is conceded by the Santa
Fe ring, of which Elkins and Tom
Catron, the U. s. District Attorney,
are aware; but the opposition, it is pro.
posed, will be overcome by an influx
of Mormons from Salt Lake, who are
to be consigned to Governor S. G. Ak
tell Ga Mormon himself), by Brigham
Young, and who. in the event of the
passage of the Enabling Act by Con-
gress, are promised to be here in time
to give them the right to an affirmative
vote upon the territory becoming a
State. If the scheme succeeds it will
turn New Mexico wholly over to the
followers of Brigham Young. and thus
the long-sought "Kingdom of Mormon.
dom" will be at last established under
the authority Of the United States.
Brigham Young is also interesting
himself through feed lobby inWash-
ington, in having some one hundred.
and fifty Spanish and Mexican land
grants,i in this Territory, covering mill
lions of acres of our best agricultural
and mineral lands, confirmed by Con-
gress, and the way for cheating the
rightful owners cut of the same, was
prepared by the last Territorial Legis-
lature, which was controlled by the
ring.
The bill before Congress for the ad.
mission of New Mexico as State, is
adroitly and cunningly worded, and
among other underholds, it gives to
Governor Axtell,s District Attorney
Catron, and Judge Waldo, the power
to name the time for holding the cleo
tion, which was purposely so worded,
to allow the expected Mormons time
to become voters under the Territorial
laws. Already Brigham's EMISSION
aries" begin to appear in the Territory,
and others, we are creditably informed,
are preparing themselves in the Span
ish language, preparatory to their ad-
vent into New Mexico.
The whole thing is swindle and
only intended to enrich the ring at the
expense of the many. Axtell was for
merly Governor of Utah and is now
Governor of this Territory.

NEW YORK, May 1.-Mr. Wright, of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty Children, visited the American
Institute, Saturday to see the perform
ancc of Lowande, 1.-THE Brazilian hur-
ricane rider" and the boy Tony. The
boy stands and postures on Lowande's
head as he rides one or more horses,
barebacked at high speed. Mr.. Wright
believed the act to be dangerous and
cruel to the boy. and he ordered it to
be discontinued, and Mr.. Barnum was
compelled to dispense with that part
of Lowande's performance.

THE SENATE EVIDENTLY GETTING READY
TO LET BELKNAP ESCAPE.
special Dispatch to the Times.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The impeach-
ment question came up in the Senate
again to day upon o motion of the
House managers to rescind the order
by which the counsel for Bclknap Sc.
cured the advantage of opening. and
closing the debate upon the question
of jurisdiction. There was good
deal of debate and good deal of dila-
tory trif1ing on the part of the Senate.
There does not appear to be any hon
est purpose on the part of the majority
of the Senate to try to punish Belknap
for his crime. Conkling and Edmunds
who are virtually managing the i'm
peachment trial, are giving every ad-
vantage to Belknap. But the greatest
point in Belknap's favor is the daily
trifling and frittering away of time, by
which the subject is belittled. The
Senate decided the point raised in
favor of Belknap's counsel, and are
just rs likely as not to get rid of the
trial by denying that they have juris-
diction.
The Bristow Ivestigation.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The committee
on Expenditures of the Treasury Depart
ment to-day examined Webster Elms,
chief clerk in the office of the Solicitor OF
the Treasury. Witness stated that the
case Of the bark Mary Merritt was the
same as that the schooner Victoria,
seized year previously, the libel being
dismissed in that case by the District
Court. Both vessels were seized under
the Navigation act of 1917. He considered
the vessel was not legally: seized, as she
had British register. He had never
seen Secretary Brlstow in connection
with the case. Joseph A. Robinson,
Assistant Secretary, testified that Gen.
Bristow appeared before Secretay Ban
field in 1864 and asked that the case be
examiRed on its merits.

Special despatch to the New York World.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The exami
nation of Commissioner Davenport on
the use of $4,000 of Government
funds in New York city, in the Grant
campaign of 1872, was continued to-
day and concluded for the present. 1t
will be resumed next week. Daven-
port utterly failed to satisfy the COM
mittee that the thousands of dollars
which he spent, and which were not
even correctly audited by the Treasury
were properly expended. He confessed
to issuing $500 warrants in one in
stance in the names of mythical per-
sons, and for which he charged the
Government the legal rate, but which
was frand under the pretended color
of law. The $c5,C"0, however, on
which the original charge against the
President and ex Attorney General
Williams is based, are still unaccount.
ed for. The vouchers for the same
cannot be found, and the last section
of the enforcement law, requiring that
they should be audited in detail, has
been grossly violated, Even the Re-
publican members of The committee
do not deny that, and are even willing
to concede that the whole expenditure
has been a ''gross irrcgularity.'

a long time been used in the suburbs of
the city. The spectacle of horses slip.
ping, and straining over the polished
cobsle stones between the PHILADELPHIA
tracks is enough to excite the indigna-
tlon OF any member of the S. 2. C. A..
and 1t Is strange that no formal protest
has been made against it. The Bulletin
says:
The steam cars placed upon the Market
Street Railway, seem to do their work in
a satisfactory manner and to afford n
solution to problem which for n LONG
time has vexed the managers Of these
companies. IT these machines continue
as they have begun, they, or Others of
an equally good kind, ought to be placed
upon every road in this city, and the
i1,e horse cars removed finally and forever.

A long story comes from ST. Louis
with Sergeant George Prem
der, in charge of the signal service sta
ton there, who was formerly public debt
statement clerk inthe Treasury Depart

alleges that while he was engaged thus
in the treasury he discovered great
frauds; that each pu bic dent statement
report money in the treasury that was
not on hand, while the government was
paying three per cent. for money TO meet
temporary necessities. He also says he

LOANS MADE WITHOUT
REGARD To SECURITY.
Special despatch to the World
WASHINGTON, April 23,-The special
committee investigating the bank
ruptcy of the Freedmen's Savings in
stitutions has secured some interesting
evidence regarding the management
of the head concern in this city. The
committee has been more successful
than in previous investigations and
has succeeded in fastening RESPONSE
bility on several OF the late officers of
the bank, including the formerActuary
Colonel Easton, now deceased, his
successor, G. w. Stickney, and col
ored man named Boston, who was for
some time cashier Of the bank. 1t is
proved by the committee that the ac-
tuaries were ia the habit of allowing
contractors who had no funds of the
bank to carry out their contracts. The
prstits derived from the contracts were
shared with the actuaries. The colored
cashier is proved to have been enc OF
the worst offenders. 1t is expected
that the result of the report of the
committee will be that such of the
parties as are accessible will be pun
ished,

1t is evident that the Philadelphia peo-
Pile intend to make what they can out Of
Centennial boarders, and to do SO have
gone to immense expense to provide ho-
tel accommodations. They have got the
fare up to s4 and IS day at the best
hotels, and some people imagine that
there will be more visitors than can be
accommodated, and the private boarding
houses will reap harvest from high
prices also. This may possibly be so'
but we should not be surprised if it were
found that there were more accomme-
dations than were needed and that in the
end many of the hotel arrangements
proved speculative failures.

Before the war the Abolitionists were
in the constant habiv of charging the
slaveocracy with the management of
the country and that the Democratic
party were governed by the "slaveo-
cracy;" finally by uniting with other fac
tions they induced the people to entrust
them with the government. Now, let
facts speak for themselves. Under
Democratic government there were
comparatively no taxes and the real es-
tate of the country continued to gradu-
ally increase in value. Now the taxes
are SO heavy that all property is weighed
down and zeal estate in the rural dis
tricts will not sell for what the buildings
cost. The land being literally gwen
away.
Can it be otherwise when so small
State as Delaware is made to pay to the
Government such enormous sums. In
ten years about fifteen millions. And
to the Internal Revenue officer direct
about two millions and half of dollars
since 1860. Almost one half this money
it is presumed has been paid a way in
salaries and squandered by thieves.
1t seems fortunate thing that there
was a sloveoclacy' to keep the English
abolition thieves from the government
as long as they did.
There never was such pack of rascals
in any country as was let loose upon thi
ny the old New England Abolition plum
derers who had been stealing negroes fo
thirty years from the South, and teach
ing the low whites that what the plant
ers made was the result of negro labo
and they were entitled to it; thus it wa
very natural gradual step from robbin
the planters to rebbing the government
The contrast of the governm ent unde
the Democrats before the war and tina
under the neg .oes and Republicans is
strong one-so strong that no hon
est man can fail to see it and regret tina
the Republ lean party ever came int
power.
