October IS, 1882.
Editor Lincoln County Leader,
In the last issue Of the White
Oaks Golden Era some grave
charges are made against Mr.. d. M.
Eeston, in which my ramo APP
pears:
l merely desire to say in cameo
ton with the subject that Mr..
Esston did not receive, either from
or through me, any money or any
consideration in lieu of money, nor
the promise Of any or proposition
to that effect, to influenced his action
in the last Legislature.
Mr.. Delaney paid me to 60 to
Santa Fe, as a matter of business,
and to further his business, he gave
me to understand that in the event
Of a Funding Bill becoming a law,
| would receive the sum Of seven
hundred and fifty dollars, to Use as
I saw lit, or as MIR Delaney sug-
gested, to bride members Of the
Legislature, this latter l did not
even see fit to make the attempt.
The bill passed and I received
the seven hundred and fifty dollars
and kept it.
If Mr. Delaney supposed
would leave my business, go to
Santa Fe, in the middle of winter,
remain there one or two weeks, just
for the sake of charity to him, he
gave me too much credit.
ny principal anxiety for the pas
sage of the funding bill arose from
the fact that I was on Dowlin &
DoLaney's paper, holdby the FRS
| National Bank of Santa Fe, to the
amount of nearly nine thousand
dollars, and if the bill did not be
come a law, there was a strong
probability that my property would
DO taken in satisfaction for theil
debts.
My telegram to Delaney, as fol
lows: "The Santa Fe party whom
you referred to has offered to sac
rifice your WOOL" did not refer Il
Mr.. Easton, but to Mr.. w. I
Thornton, member of the Counci
from Santa Fe county, who think
ing that Mr.. Easton's action on th,
funding bill would be influenced b,
his enmity toward Delaney, ant
knowing that the county warrant
held by Delaney were the proceed
of the sale Of the present cour
house building, offered to accep
an amendment to the Funding Bill
excepting from its provisions al
county warrants issued by tn
County Commissioners of Lincoln
Co., for the payment Of count.
buildings.
/ am not aware that Mr.. Wi
Dowlin was at all conversant wit
the facts as stated above, at tina
time.
l merely make this statemen
public in justice t. Mr.. Easton an
Mr.. Miller. Very Respectfully
j. IL. BLAZER.

Prom the Red ClOud Precinct

Editor Leader
l wish to give a true and impair
tial statement in regard to the
Gallinas miningcamp being a legit-
innate voting precinct and the per-
Sons who were instrumental in Sc
curing tho same, with its bound
aries, etc.
l have heard a great deal of
talk from the opposition in regard
to the Gallinas as a voting precinct.
and IA, above stated we desire to
give a correct detail wherein the
voters Of Gallinas are Interested.
In tho first place tho opposition
is trying to mskeit appear that the
Alksli Wells are not situated in
Lincoln county, consequently the
people OF that locality cannot legal
ly vote in Lincoln county, but if
these influential parties who had
taken SO much pains to find out
that it is not in this county, will
take one half the trouble to look at
the map, they will certainly find
that the base line running from east
to west runs close by tho Wells,
but upon a closer inspection they
will find the county line several
miles north of this base line leav'
ing the Alkali Wells in this county.
If the Alkali Wells are not in this
county, why has u sheriff been
collecting taxes from them for the
last two year of more, as we are
c~reditably informed he has done,
for the support of the county,
1t has also been asserted by Johr
Walters and Frank Lea that it wal
through their influence that tn,
Gallinas became a voting precinct
but in this l beg to differ. There
was one petition presented to thu
County Commissioners somethin.
over one year ago, but owing to
lack of citizens appearing upon th'
petition, it was rejected. But las
summer, l think In June, Mr.
Milne and Mr.. Clark were her,
looking after some mining property
and they talked the matter owe
with the people in that section, an
, it was decided toget a petition wit
} the required number Of names an
have the County Commissioner
act upon the same. o. D. Kelsey
John Bolton and another party,
have forgotten his name, drew u
> the petition, sent it to Judge Ton
linson, and he sent 1t to the Count
, Commissioners, and they declare
the Gallinas a voting precinct.
} Now, / am not inclined to be il
, consistent in regard to this, br
. only desire to show to the partie
that | believe in q true and hone:
:. statement of facts, and a fair repr'
sentation ofthe matter to the peopl
of the county.

JOHN A. MILLER.
Friends and YOes Alike Conc TO The
Rescue.

kVOluUs
OF late that galvanized smut ma
chine known as the Mesilla Neps
and its echo, the F6gho7n at this
place, have been industriously
throwing their filth at the Hon.
John A. Miller, candidate for the
Council on the regular ticket. It is
needless to say that in this matter
Mr.. Miller has always main
tanned a commendable silence, pre-
fering rather to let them exercise
the only talentthey possess in their
own peculiar gay, much after the
manner Of other harmless lunatics.
However, some ofMfiler's friends,
thinking that the public generally
might not be acquainted with tho
unfortunate malady of which these
parties r possessed, have come to
his defence, and the Rio GrundS
Republican this week publishes let
tiers from several leading citizens Of
Mr.. Miller's own county which ef-
fectually deodorizes the filth thus
far thrown. We have space for
but one which we give and it will
explain itself:

October "a, 1882.
Editor Rio Grande Republican
OF all tho reprehensible things
resorted TO In q political contest,
that of the defamation of the good
character Of an opponent is tho
meanest aud lowest.
Any man who will stoop to this
practice is unworthy the confidence
or support of the public.
\ MOI only has this been done, but
wholesale lying has been added
AS an illustration, take the articles
in the Mesilia NeWs, headed "The
Graveyard Ghoul. The Despoiler
of the Dead" etc. 1t is well
/ known by the residents Of Silver
} City that the old graveyard in the
+ valley at the upper end of town
: was a drain through which came at
least a portion of the water used by
the citizens living below. 1t ia
well known that our City Council
passed an act forbidding further
burial in this ground. II Is
well known that subsequently they
decided to have the remains Of
those buried there removed to the
cemetery established on the Fort
5 Baysrd road.
? MI. John A. Miller made this
d offer to the city government "To
s remove all the remains and place
# them in the new cemetery, together
with a plat showing where all known
remains were buried, taking in con-
sideration therefor the old cemetery
J. ground"
y He placed Col. Ledbetter IL
, charge Of this work, than whom a
more conscientious and honorable
If gentleman Dies not live and to
" Col. Ledbctter l refer the writer Of
the infamous article in the Mesilla

IS is the only man in Southern Ne :.
Is Mexico who would stoop so low,

Thirty Tons of Human Bones.
Erom the Lopdr n Times.


Thirty tons of human bones have
lust been landed at Bristol from
Turkey. Picked up in the immediate
ofPlevna, carted thence
to Rodosto, they now go to enrich the
soil To those who do not give the
matter much consideration it may be
well to mention that thirty tons OF
human bones mean the skeletons OF
of 10000 men. They do not include
probably many stones and pieces OF
wood, but in all likelihood are the
actual bones of the gallant men who
from the inside and outside of the
earthworks which Omar Pasha made
fought as hard as they could for the
nation to whom they belonged. The
battles of September, 1877, alone con-
tributed nearly all this number OF
skeletons, but there were other terri
BILE fights in July and August and
again when the place surrendered.
Each contest furnished its quota OF
bones, and of these a large proper
ton comes to England. 1t is appal-
ling TO think what was the actual loss
of life berween the Danube and the
Egean. But one thing is certain !
thirty tons of skeletons just landed at
Bristol do not all apequately repre-
sent the slaughter that took place.

Military Criticism and Grant.

Military criticism has not done with
the victor of Appomattox. Mr.. Dana,
now of the New York Sun, was with
Gen. Grant on the. campaign from
the Rapidan to Petersburg in the
capacity Of assistant secretary OF war,
and therefore it is presumed that he
was familiar with the operations OF
the army and its losses. In speaking
of the splendid discipline and fighting
qualities of the Army ofthe Potomac,
he says: :.
GAS an illustration Of the sangui-
nary character of its history, it may
be stated that the official returns show
that in single month thatintervened
between the crossing of the Rapidan
and the arrival before Petersburg in
1864, Grant lost $4,000 men in killed,
wounded and missing"
As if to bring out Gen. Grants
fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer" policy in red lines of reck
less slaughter, the Cincinnati Gazette
quotes the above statement of MIR.
Dana, and adds:
"The assaults in the preliminary
operations at Petersburg, before get
ting fairly down to work, raised this
loss to above 100000. And in all that
operation there was not q single
victory to inspire those heroic soldiers.
zach action was a. repetitiOn of the
march up to an intrenched line to be
butchered without any tactical move
ment to take the enemy anywhere but
where he was best prepared. o
At that period General Grant was
the fortunate possessor of two potent
elements of generalship-an exhaust
ed enemy and limitless source OF re-
inforcements. What would have been
his experience had he struck Lee a
year earlier can well be imagined. He
doubtless would have followed McClel,
Ian, Burnside, Hooker and Meade to
retirement. His policy was based on
the arithmetic OF numbers and brute
force, and it is very safe to say that
the final Judgment of history will at
tribute his success far less to his gen.
eralship than to the exhaustion OF the
resources of Lee, left as the latter was
with the remnant of an army fatigued
with killing and famishing for food.

About Editors.
Printers Circular

Every editor loves to have his
friends, and particularly his readers
call on him. They belong to the
same family, as it were. But when
YOU call to see the editor don't stay
too long. Editors are generally very
busy in business hours. If you have
any suggestion to make, or news to
communicate, state it in asfew words
as possible DON'T offer an excuse, or
indulge in long preface to what you
have to say. Blurt it out; tell the
editor you wish him well, and tell him
good-day. Editors dote on such men
as that; they love to receive such calls
from them. Don't argue with him !;
don't try to do it; he has no time for
argument while at his work.
When you write to an editor for
publication, make it short-boI 1t
down. Pitch right into the middle
of your subject, and be sure to stop
when you are through. Editors
always like something fresh and origi-
nal in the way of communications,
and are especially fond ofnews. But
the editor must always be the judge
of what is worthy of publication. OF
course, every writer thinks his own
production the best, just as every
mother thinks her baby the prettiest
that ever was born. But the editor
may be so stupid as to have differ

Don't try to urge him out of his
notion. If he is too stupid to appre.
ciate a good thing, you can't expect
to remedy his dullness You may
think you are good deal smarter than

the editor may be responsible and you
are not. There is no class of men &c
