NEW MEXICO ITEMS.

The following items arc obtained from our late exchanges:
 Silver City has no vacant houses.
 Nearly eighty pupils now regularly attend the Silver City public school.
 The damage to the Longfellow works at Clifton, Occasioned by the recent floods, compelled the company to temporarily suspend operations.
 Reports from the Chiricahuas con tinue to be favorable. New discover ies are of almost daily occurrence, and some of the finds are said to be rich beyond any precedent in that section.
 Since the approach of the railroad to Trinidad, Col, people have flocked to that town in such numbers that there is not a single room in the whole town empty, or for rent, and many of the newcomers are obliged 10 camp out until better facilities are prOvid- ed.
 Trinidad Enterprise: A large force of men and teams have been busy for several days grading the Trinidad de pot grounds. The company secured ltwenty-fOur acres of the Baca estate. all of which will be taken up by side tracks, buildings, approaches and so forth. There will be laid five side tracks in addition to the main track.
 The engineer party of the A, T. & Santa Fe railroad, under charge of -Col-James A. Evans, report it to be impracticable to build the road from Las Vegas to Santa Fe, by way of the head of the Pecos; the only means, therefore, left for the iron horse to reach the capital from that point, is by way of Anton Chico and the val. ,leys of the Galisteo, which will make it regular hOrse-shoe-line.
 Las Vegas Gazette:: One thing no. .ticeable on the recent trip to the south was the number of churches we pass ed. Every little village had church There is a large one ali Tecolote, one at Fl Pueblo, San Miguel La Cuesto Placers, Fl Telon and every place that could boast a dozen houses. But we never passed a school hOuse-not one in the whole trip,-although there were many stout, healthy and natur ally bright children to be found at every point.

 The Enterprise says: Now that John P. Hoyt is about to retire from the governorship of the territory, it is the pleasing duty of the EateIprise to publish to the world the fact that. in it's opinion, Mir Hoyt has made our people a good, faithful governor. Coming here, couple of years ago, as secretary, almost an entire stranger to the people of the territory, he has paid no attention to the tales of the ring men; has drowned down section alism, and has proved himself a man, by having done his duty without fear, favor, or affection. He will retire from office with cleaner record than any of his predecessors.
 The District Court of the First Ju- dicial District, in and for Pima coun- ty, will convene October II, 1878. Several months ago very few cases, civil and criminal, were on file in the Clerks office, but since the last two months the same have accumulated to some extent There are now ten criminal cases, partly in custody and partly on bail, awaiting the action of tho grand jury. There are about civil cases at issue, fourteen on the law calendar and several wherein the United States nre interested. A peti- ton signed by members of the bar has been presented to Judge French, in chambers, requesting him to post -l pone the meeting of the court from October to November-some time af- .. ter election. The Judge, who is known for his ardency in the dispatch of court business, however refused to grant the petition as far as the crimi- nal calendar is concerned. He is willing, however, to postpone the civil cases until November The court will thereafter convene on the dBy of its regular term.
