SANTA FE, N. M, Nov. 14.-The
recent election in Santn Fe county re-
suited in the return of the whole Re-
publican ticket, excepting Martinez, a
Democrat, and the present incumbent
of the office, he being reelected sheriff
The result of the contest caused great
excitement here, as the county had al
ways gone Democratic. The Demo-
Gratis had the arrangements all their
own way, the three commission
ers, who administer the affairs of the
county belong to that party, and they
appointed Democratic judges and
clerks at the polls.
The official return, has to be made
by the three commissioners, and to-day
was appointed for that purpose, when
to the astonishment of the citizens. che
commissioners threw out the returns
of five precincts. where there were
large Republican majorities and declar-
ed the whole Democratic ticket elected.
This at first caused great CONSERVATION,
in the city, which has since been
in a state of excitement. Matters
have now cooled down, as it is found
that the commissioners have no legal
right to go back of the returns. their
duty being simply to count the vote
recorded, and make their return to that
effect.
Sol. Spiegelberg, the chairman of the
commissioners, refused to reconsider the
matter and declares the Democratic
ticket elected writ of mandanus
will be applied for, in the morning. to
Chief Justice Axtell, to compel the
commissioners to make the proper le-
gal returns, which they declare they
will not do.
Splegelberg has been trying to be
small boss in this city, and was much
enraged at the transfer of power from
himself and his party. A strong fight
is expected over the matter tomorrow,
which may lead to some trouble, as
the party feeling runs high.
T. B. Catron went this evening to
see the poll hooks. to be able to detect
any tamperng that may be done with
them, but was refused permission to
look at them.
Can 1t be Possible.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The sup
posed pending Cabinet changes are
being handled about with reckless
ness usr ally only born of a new ad-
ministration. Folger is to resign, the
opinion goes; New threatens to resign
unless there is positive opening fol

ing for the presidency as the Stalwar
candidate; Howe is to step down ant
out to accommodate another member
of the Cabinet, who is dissatisfied; anC
Hatton is to be put in News place il
the treasury. There are half dozer
other alleged impending changes in tht
personnel of the Arthur administra
tion, most all of which are based upoI
some incomprehensible reasoning
There is but one general idea prevail
ing just now, and that is that in SOM
way the recent elections have materi
ally changed the views and plans o
members of the Cabinet, as well a
those of President Arthur, and that il
consequence there is to be IA genera
shaking up. 1t was telegraphed las
night that Assistant Secretary New
had resigned, but there are no tanglbl
evidences of resignation to-day
The fact that New is altOgethe
likely to resign in short time is pro-
bably the parent of the rumor. WheI
New came into the treasury it is be-
lieved to have been with the under
standing that the secretaryship shoulC
be his with the first opportunity
When Folger was nominated for gov

portunity opening up for the realiZa-
ton of his ambition. Had Folger re
