The Enserpnse, apaper that should defend the private character of every gentleman, un- til that person isproren to be unworthy the name, hardly ever allows an opportunity to pass where it can pull down the good name, of people in general. without so doing; and, as an illustration of the same, we refer our readers to an article which appeared over the iaoegnito of sTwig." in yesterdays issue of that paper, an irresponsible person, who | is acting tho part of second man, to do the bidding of those who are afraid to come to the front and show their own hands clear We copy the high-toned article of ''Twlg, !" for the purpose of letting our readers see how far journalism can drop itself below the standard of all decency.
 aSEIF SACRIFICE.
 The fact that RosaIio Coloma surrendered himself to the authorities yesterday, IS another establishment to the character of this self-sacriicing gentleman. Mr. Coloma is the author of many praiseworthy acts many which his aged and decripit mother will narrate in confidence, while tears of shame stream down her cheeks. Many re, liable gentlemen of the New Mexico ana of
 
 noble deeds; some of those gentlemen can tell of the heroic act of whipping poor, innocent woman almost to death, through lealously; others can tell of the fame his den had in New Mexico. However 'tis useless to eulogize his character at present, as some of the most reliable citizens of St. Johns will testify on oath as to the .'good reputation he has borne for 20 years" at the November session of the District Court. As for MT. Thos. Estell of Camp Apache, he is perfectly reliable gentleman, his reputation as such is extensively known throughout the Territory and is quite incapable of making any false statements in the matter.

 Prescott, August 2nd, 1878.
 "Twig," who knows more about adog- robbingr around some officers kitchen, in- inmates that MT. Coloma has done acts which has caused his mother to shed river of tears, that he whipped poor, innocen t womaE nearly to death, kept a 'den" in New Mexico, etc, and expects to prove all these sad things at the next term of the District Court, which meets in November, by some of the most reliable (D citizens of St. Johns. Who are these men Oh! yes, we have hit on them-Sol. and Morris Earth & Co. Now, "Twig,n you knowing and self-sacrifcing lookout for the welfare of society, would it not be we'll to prove your accusations by such msn as Hon. Am brosio Armijo, Juan Christobal Armijo, Sal vador Armijo, Manuel Antonio Otero, Fran cisco Chayes, Henry Connelley, MeIchoir Werner, John A. Hill, Henry Huning, Jack Connolley, Col. Hunt, Santiago Baca, and hundreds of other prominent men of New Mexico Or, would it be we'll to prove all you would like to proSe by such men as those who robbed Frank & Wilburn of 200 head of cattle, stabbed their servant, shot Mir. Connolly, robbed the mails and were fined S900 for so doing, sold ammunition to the Apachcs in the early days, wi-h which they killed many of our pioneers; shot their own horse, near Wickenburg, and rob- bed themselves to keep from paying lawful debt; or, lastly, by men who perjured them selves before the last Grand Jury of this County, and who will never show their des- picable forms in this town again until brought here in irons for their hundreds of deeds of infamy
 Mir. Colomo has come to Prescott for the purpose of defending that which is most sacred, his good name, and Tn it he will be backed by the very best citizens of New Mexico. Captain Cramer will be in Pres colt to-day or tomorrow, and will probably tell us about Mir. Estell who telegraphed such a reliable telegram to a man who is neither Judge or Sheriff, asking if he wanted Rosalio Colomo, when at the very time the telegraph was sent Mir. Celomo was enroute to Prescott, and Mir. Estelle was at Camp Apache, 75 miles distant, and had not been at St. Johns. How then did he get his in- formatirnl Twig, Earth & O., who do and know things by magic are the only parties who can solve the problem.
