The New Mexico Job.

The announcement is made through the
Associated Press that the House Committee
on Territories has not reconsidered its
favorable action on the Senate bill for the
admission of New Mexico as a State. Ii Is
Of no great importance what that COM
mittee may do. II has one or two able
men on 1t, like MIR. MEADE of this city,
but the majority of members are light
weights, whose opinions are of very little
consequence to the House or the country.
II is easy to understand why the Senate
should have favored the bill, MS the cleo
ton machinery Is in the hands of n Ring
OF Federal offlceholders. and il was not
doubted that the admission Of New
Mexico would result in the choice OF two
Republican Senators, who may be needed
in order TO maintain the present partisan
majority in the Senate; but 1t is impossi-
BILE to conceive of any excuse for those
Democratic members who favor the job.
1t Is well known that a majority of the
citizens in New Mexico who are able to
read and speak English oppose the change
from territorial condition, and it is I'M
questionably the fact that the public
sentiment OF the country is sternly opposed
to the bill. Under these circumstances II
is impossible TO suppose that the House
will vote in favor Of a measure which Is
Intended TO Increase the power OF cor
rupt Republican Ring, ut n time when the
proceedings of Congress arc watched with
such attention by the people.
There In positively nothing TO he said in
favor Of the bin, and II is opposed by the
honest men of both political parties, In
and our Of Congress. One of the most
ridiculous arguments urged in its sup
port is that Gen. KEARNEY induced
the people OF New Mexico to give their
consent to tho peaceable and bloodless
annexation OF the Territory to the United
States by promising that those who should
remain quiet should be considered good
citizens and receive protection; though
what rretence that gives them to claim
as much political power ms New York OF

Beginning Of the summer season-Reappear-
ance OF the vokes.

The Union Square Theatre was filled on
Monday by an assembllge that seemed TO pay
little heed to the weather. The more especial
occasion was the first appearance of the Vokes
Family this year. The evenings entertainment
began with the represeu tation Of a coined eta
In two acts, called The Post Boy very good
In its way, but rather too serious for
30 hot night, and quite too long
for the purpose Of simply opening a sum
mer performance. Mr. j. IL. Stoddart played the
principal part. and made an effective impersOn-
alton, often marred by indistlnct enunciatiOu Of
the words set down for him. Messrs. ii. Ii.
Phillips, c. Burroughs, Harry Josephs, and
Misses Laura Don, Geraldine May anu Roberta
Norwood completed the cast. Miss Don Is al
most stranger here, but acquitted herself with
ca e. and secured the communication OF the au-
ditory. A piece OF realism In the shape OF an
actual live baby a few months old, which was
exhibited on the stage, excited very hearty ap-
plause.
IL was nearly ten o'clock when the Vokes
first came on the scene. They were greeted
very warmly. " he Bellies OF the Kitchen " has
been somewhat modified since they were last
here. Hut It retains all its jolnty. The romps,
antics, and general lvelness OF the performers,
together with their Rrotesque dancing, and
clever singing kept the auditory In state OF
constant merrnent and elected much applause.
