evidently broken by blow OF the hatcbet
or tomahawk.
The amulet Is perhaps hall an inch long,
one eighth Of an inch ihick--an irregular
square, rudely carved and smooihed, preba-
biy by rubbing with another stone. The
yeining on one side gives the semblance OF a
star. A hard tool and patient hand must
have been required to drill hole through
this stubborn stone. The string which
threaded II has gone TO dust; The
hand which carved IL and the race OF
which IL Is faint trace are vanished into
the voicelcss past. Long lines Of pros
trate walls. miles OF acequias or irrigatiDg
bitches. broken polteries, profusely scat
tered, indicate a dense population once
held the valley near I'll Paso. and lived in
cities containing 10000 or 10000 souls.
There Is no reason TO believe the modern
lbhabitaDis OF this country belong to a
proud line, sborn OF its ancient splen-
dors. They have no sort OF history; and
among people without written language,
poetry, or music tradition soon becomes
confused. All their remains and three
hundred years Of continuous history show
they have steadily declined in powers and
numbers, but they are and always have
been miserably poor. Their fabrics. arms,
architecture are OF the coarsesi, most primi-
tive description.
The vessels OF silver and OF gold de-
scribed by early explorers 10 waiting and
expectabt world have not been found in
this or any other spot in New Mexico.
They existed only in The fevcred fancies OF
adveniurers,. blinded by their own imagin-
ings, drunk with their own conceits. II
metals we count valuable were con-
cealed in the ancient treasure-house
they are lost in the deep grave with the
dead centuries. Only these trIfling memo
rials have escaped the common doom. My
smulet is a sorry love.token; yet, for The
sake OF the soft meaning it once bore, /
touch the irinket lightly. Rude in outline,
utterly lacking in grace and lustre, IL yet
reDreSents western idyl.

Some Democratic papers we no,
tice are charging that the Republi-
cans have imported ten thousand
negro men into Indiana to vote in
the coming election. The Republi-
cans charge on the other hand that
the Democrats are importing thou
sands of white men into that State
to vote at the same election. We
fear there is too much truth in these
charges on both sides. Indeed we
fear our elections are becoming so
corrupt all over the country, North
and South, East aud West, that the
liberties of the people are seriously
endangered. When the people lose
confidence in the ballot.box, because
of outrageous frauds committed sys-
tematicaliy by sworn officers, and
when sworn men will for partisan
purposes commit perjury and forg-
erv then we think American freedom
is in the last stages of consumption
and must shortly die. 1t is to be
hoped that the great mass of the
people who are always honest at
heart, will rise in their might and
drive from power the horde of cor
rupt politicians who are 50 rapidly
bringing our country into disgrace
and ruin. The first step in this di-
rection ia to elect Winfield Scott
Hancock President Of the United
States by rousFng majority.

General Garfield knew very well
that the existing duties on those
