WASHINGTON. June 23.-The Judiciary
Committee this morning examined Col.
Thomas A. Scott, through Mr.. Kuott, in
relation to the Caldwell telegram 1gs
He testified that he sent a despatch to
Josiah P. Caldwell on the 31st Of May.
thanipg him for endorsing his evidence
before the Judiciary Committee. He
knew nothing about the two messages
that were sent to Caldwell from Phila-
delpha, excepting that's young man who
said his name was Reed representing
himself as the private secretary to Mr..
Caldvell, called upon the witness and
showed him copy Of a despatch which
he desired to send to Mr.. Caldwell which
would cost 500 in gold. and asked the
witness to aid him in sending it. The
witness declined to do it, and Reed said
he would cut down the despatch and
send it himself.
The despatch alluded to was similar to
the one received by Mr.. Knott from Mr..
Caldwell, but the witness did not think
it was in the exact words. The witness
had never seen Reed before that time and
only once since.
The witness was little suspicious
about the despatch, which he himself
received from Mr., Caldwell, and sent
over to the telegraph. Office to have it
verified, and there learned that it was o
genuine despatch cabled from London.
The witness knew nothing about Reed
or his whereabouts, except what he had
stated. Witness identified his own sig
nature to the letter containing a state
ment of this matter, which was received
by Mr.. Knott on Wednesday last.

The Baltimore Gazette strikes the nail
squarely on the head in the following
sentences. Every rotten republican
ring is at work for Hayes. Every re-
publican corruptionist who has been
sent to the penitentiary looks to the
day of his Inauguration as the hour
when his prison doors shall be opened,
and when he will walk out with the
pardon of the executive in his pocket.
Boss Shepherd is for Hayes; so are
Babcock and Belknap, and Joyce, and
Avery, and Mcdonald. and Fishback; /;
Tom Murphy and Harrington, ,and every
one else whose name is the synonym OF
corruption and official dishonesty,
Not one of these men would have sup
ported Bristow if he had been nomina-
ted. He had not been in the cabinet
thirty days when they were intriguing
to get him out. From the moment
they found they could not use him
they turned upon and assailed him in
every way possible.

Letter from Nesc Merico.
SILVER CITY, NEW mexico,
June 9Th. 1879.

EDITOR DEL. GAZETTE: hope you
will allow me the privilege of correct
ing u statement of Mr.. s. B. Elkins to
certain L. s. Senators at the time the
bill for the admission Of New Mexico
as State was upon its passage in the
Senate. and which correction may
prevent members of the House from
being similarly deceived. 1t is said
that everything is fair in politics, but
aver that it is no characteristic of a
gentleman to misstate facts, even
though the falsehood might elevate
him to seat in the U. s. Senate.
l am credibly informed that MIR.
Elkins stated to Senators that the citi-
zens Of New Mexico were singularly
unanimous that the Territory should
become a state, and several Senators
have expressed surprise when inform
ed the very contrary was the fact, and
that they wished to be allowed to re-
main in their normal condition, as
was manifested by late vote by our
people upon the question of admis-
sion, and which was so overwhelm-
ingly adverse to the proposition that
the result of the vote was never pub
lished and l am told was suppressed
at the instance of Mr., Elkins.
The population of New Mexico as
given by the last census Qe70)is 81 ,874
SO. .254, are native or to the manor
born, and not one in twenty OF this
latter number can speak the Englisf
language-and much smaller pc
centage can read or write even in thei
own, a hybrid Spanish-and although
there has been no perceptible increas
in population since 1870, Mr.. Elkin
at u former session Of Congress swell
ed the number by many thuusands.-
He wants seat in the Senate, ant
doubtless consoled; himself with th'
belief that the end in view justifie
the means. VERITAs.

THAT BACK PAY,-The popular con,
demnation of what is called the "back
pay grab" was never more forcibly
shown than in the case of Gov. Hayes,
who has been generally successful
when nominated for office. He was a
member of Congress in 1866, when the
salary of members was raised from
Sc, 900 to $4,000, by being meanly
tackled upon the soldiers bounty bill.
Mr.. Hayes drew his back pay, and no
doubt thought he had right to it.
But his constituents did not agree with
him in that opinion. When he came
before them for reelection he was
beatt by Gen. Benning by abou 1 :
900 majority in district which had
been largely republican. This remin-
iscence should suggest to Gen. Hayes
that even his conceded personal respec-
liability will avail him nothing if the
people suspect that, if elected, his ads
ministration will be a perpetuation of
the corrupt system and practices that
have been so long dominant at Wash.

Mexico has immense mineral and ag-
ricultural resources, and climate favor
able for the production of many things
of great value, and elevations which
afford heathful and pleasant localities
for residences. Nature has done much
for the people, but their Government
has not encouraged industry. Their
commerce has been carried on by other
nations, and enterprising citizens of
this country are about to build sys-
tenn OF railroads for them, A warm eli
mate, which produces spontaneously
much of the food of the people, does
and favor Industrious habits, and the
population of Mexico is of a mixed and
debased character. 1t is not probable
that they will do anything to improve
their condition. They had courage and
energy enough to liberate themselves
from Spanish rule, but they have made
wretched work of governing themsel.

tropical islands is curious and instruc>
tive. In Jamaica enforced negro labor
made landowners rich, and gave the
| island a large commerce.; and the
liberation of the slaves has DESTROYED
their pecuniary prosperity. Cuba is
still productive, because slavery YET
exists, and the negroes are compelled
to work; but it is probable that the
odious institution will soon be abolish
ed, and the commerce of Cuba will &c
with it.
1t is probable that railroad inter.
course with Mexico will carry a more
energetic people into it, who will devel
op its great natural wealth, and es-
tablish more stable, as well as more
liberal institutions.
The lesson we should learn from the
