:eOSKLING's sQUINr.

There is COED story told sfs lady who
had most powerful squint in one Of her
eyes. She wished to have her portrait
painted. The artist studied his subject
and suggested that 1t be taken in profile.
There is . certain shyness about one Of
your eyes," he said, (which is as dificuis
in art as it is fascinating in nature, The
artist was the Conkling Of bis profession.
The pleasant words and ways Of the New
York Sens.or, in his intercourse with
ether Senator'S. have given him personally
great iAauence. He defeated Hayes
nominees for New York Offices simply be-
cause some Democratic and Republican
Senators could not Withstand his bland
ishments. They knew, - everybody
knows, that his advances were selfish aad
insiscsls, bu. they could not resist them.
What effect upon these Senators tho free
tsngue Of the New Yorker, when his bask
is turned upon the Senate, may have, 70
mains to be seen. But we think his per-
sonsl following among bis Senatorial
companions is gone. The interview" Of
q few months ago, denied, 70 be sure, and
that Of a few days ago, ouly half denied,
showed the insincerity Of the man 70 thor
oughIy that his smooth words will have
no weight hereafter. He is not safe man
f,r any Senator to know.
This latest ''intervisw" will have another
sfec. besides that upou the Senator him.
self It's coarse references to Mr.. Hsyes
and to eminent citizens who sustained tho
measures leading to his Inauguration; the
implied dorb', which must, with the
Senator, have been an ahsnhought. as TO
the title Of Mr.. Hayes to the Presidency;
the sll-ps, s,vading ill>tenper-all these
speak OF the disappointed politician, and
not Of tho philosopAie statesman. The
administration, Nth all its shortcomings,
gains BY csmparsion with its chief oppo.
nent, and will be strengthened within the

New Mexico Items

Judge Henry L. Waldo having re signed the position of Chief Justice oi the Supreme Court of New Mexico which he has ably and honorably filled for more than two years, to take effect on frstof March next, information has been received here that Mir. Charles McCandless of Pennsylvania, has been appointed to fill the vacancy. It is very probable that both he and Judge Parks will reach the Territory in time to hold the spring term of court in the First and Second Districts.
 On Thursday last the House showed its contempt for the JesuIts and their deceptions during the fore part of the session by passing by unanimous vote a verbatim copy of the educational bill drafted two years ago by Secre- tary W. G. Ritch, and which was in in the last Legislative Coun- cil by Senator Armijo of Dona Ana. The bill then passed the Council 9 to 1 but was defeated in the House 10 to II. At this writing it is feared that il will be defeated in the Council for want of time to reach it. There is hardly a doubt but what a majority of the Council are in favor of the bill New Mexican.

The -76 Mine.
SILVER KING, March 1, Is

SILVER KING, March i, 1878.
 EDITOR CITIZEN The recent strike Tn the '76 mine has already been some benefit to ;his part of Pioneer District. The shaft is now down l2O feet on this mine, and the ore body is still improv- ing in quantity and quality as the sink ing progresses. The depth now at tained has reached a point below the water level and also below all surface influences, and furnishes proof beyond a doubt that the veins in this vicinity improve as they go down, and the cautious miner heretofore in doubt about sinking on his mine, need no longer hesitate nor fear that his labor will not be amply rewarded. Already a number of small contracts have been let 10 perform work on claims that had been well nigh abandoned.
 Every claim owner is more hopeful, and wears confident expression on. his face. New developments are also being made on the Wanna Whata mine which is now yielding more and richer ore than ever before, being rich of chlorides and horn silver. Work Is also being vigorously prosecuted on the Baltimore, half a mile south f.om the Silver King, and the prospects are of the most fialtering nature. and if. she work is pushed upoa thls mine as' energelically for a few weeks more another rich mine will be added 10 the, ist of this District.
 In the Surprise mine very rich ores have been taken out and that mine will hereafter be classed with the best.
