RAE ass,ssnENC oUEsrION.

The REGISTER has contained num-
Der of well written communications
unon the questions raised by the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court in the case
of the State VS.. The Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad, and the subsequent &C
ton Of the Governor and Auditor in
pursuance thereof. The REGISTER has
given the arguments pro and con. which
have come to it eouched in proper Ian
guage and written in proper temper.
It Is glad to have the people express
themselves through its columns with
the utmost freedom upon all questions
in " hich they are interested.
There is another class of articles, all
on one side, filling some Of the Repub-
lican papers. They are, as we said, all
one-sided, and in temper and spirit en-
tirely different from those printed in
the REGISTER. They are mainly ebu-
lutions of personal gall and partisan
prejudice. They add nothing whatever
to the calculation of the questions in
volved, but it is just as well that the
writers work off their gall in this way.
1t does no harm except to the types
upon which the vile stuff is printed, but
il relieves the gorged liyers Of the I'M
fortunate authors ola vast deal ofpoison.
Through the impartial efforts Of the
REGISTER all the questions involved in
this controversy will become well un-
derstood by the people in due time and
many erroneous impressions and false
representations will be corrected.
We here invite every man in the
Etase-be he farmer, manufacturer or
lawyer-who thinks he has q new idea
upon the subjeet-or an idea that has
not already been presented until it Is
thread. bare, or one that he thinks can
be presented in q stronger or more
striking light than 1t has heretofore
been presented, to write it down and
send Il to the REGISTER for publication.
We say to you, you are cordially in
yited to write upon this or any other
subject. We respect the wishes Of all
correspondents in keeping the names
of the authors sacredly secret; but we
require that the name accompany the
communications for our own satisiac-
ton.

A NEWSPAPER man who can de-
liberatclv set himself to work to
create an incendiary spirit under
any circumstances, is coward and
murderer We see by the optic
that j. II. Wise, formerly Of this
place, but now managing q editor
of the Las Vegas Gazette is charged
with this unuttcrably hateful senti-
ment. II Wise ever struck one
honest lick, straight from the
shoulder, no one knows Of 1t. The
Gd7ctte and its stock holders must
indeed have fallen very deep into
the slums, to now begin a course
which all past experience proves,
can only lead to incendiarism. 1t
is the poor little optic to dog
Messrs. Blowne & Manzanarcs
The optic is weak as compared
with the 1st Nat. Bank, (Mr. JEFF
lteynolds.) You gentlemen can
allow a niserably weak contempt
BILE brain on the Gd@ette to create
such a sentiment in order to over
awe or crush the optic, but you
forget that when this sentiment ls
once created You cannot control it,
and that you yourselves and your
business will have to pay a fearful
penalty for bringing such methods
into existence.

One who reads the papers can
scarcely fail being struck with the
fact that while cattle in the Terri
tory, noticeably in Lincoln county,
came out of winter and cutercd
spring looking as though just emer-
ging from a summers luxuriant
pastorage, in Colorado and Kansas
the loss varied in sections from 20
to so per cent. Parties coming
hither by rail have informed us
that the sight of skeletons was
common and frequent on many OF
the ranges within eye-sliot Of car
passengers.

THE claim OF Mrs. Myra Clark
Gaines, the venerable old lady,
whose name has long been familiar
by reason of her large claims and
great lawsuits, was favored by the
House reporting from the Commit
tee Of the Whole bill giving her
the money value Of about 3S, 600
acres OF public land, amounting to
$4,000. Her claim is based upon
two grants Of land made in 1903
and 1906 by the in!endent general
of the Spanish province OF West
Florida to persons of whom Mrs,
Gaines is the legal representative.
The validity Of the original grant
was recognized BY the Supreme
Court in case brought by Caleb
Gushing, and Mrs. Gaines claim
has been before Congress for years
The bill reported by the Commit
tee on Private Land Claims pro
yidcd for issuing % the claimant
public land script for 3s,457 acres,
but there was strong opposition by
Mr. Holman and others against IS
suing scrip tor any claim against
the Government, and it WIS agreed
to change the bill so as to make
the claim payable in money, and
in this form it will probably pass
the House.

Republican Convention

The Territorial Republican Con
vention to elect delegates to the
Chicago Convention, came off on
Saturday last, as per announce
ment, at Santa Fe, and resulted in
sending Mai W. II, II. Llewellyn
of LINCOLN County, and Don Euge-
Mo Romero, OF San Miguel
! County, as delegates, and Messrs.
Thompson and Lawrence, OF Socor-
70 and Mora Counties, as alter
mates. Maj. Llewellyn received a
greater number Of votes than any
other candidate, viz, II. The
Santa Fe New Mexican RcriS,o
thus sketches our popular follow
citizen:
As for Major w. H., II. Llewel-
lyn, we all know that lie has a
record which any man may well
be proud Of -He is able, conscien-
tious and cautious, and the splen
did vote accorded him on Saturday
night shows only how the Repub-
Leans of New Mexico regard him.
sonally he at once becomes a
congenisl companion with all
whom he meets, and in such an
assembly as the national conven-
ton this vuality in his character
will bring to him a ready acquain-
tance and with it an influence that
means political strength for New
Mexico. His political methods
are quiet, no buster, but hard and
conscientious work for the right.
Major Llewellyn enjoys an intimate
acquaintance with nearl Y all the
prominent men of the day, secured
through several years Of faithful
service TO the government, first as
a special agent of the department
ofiustice, which position lie credit
ably fiji for upward, of three years
and latterl y as agent o. the Mes
calero Apache Indians in New
Mexico. Pure men have not stint
ed their praise Of the gentleman in
this capacity. For instance in
July, 1889, Gen. Pope, commander
of this military department, by
special order instructed the district
commander of New Mexico tc
thank Agcnt Llewellyn and through
him the Mescalero Indian police
for their splendid conduct on june
22nd Of that year when the police
killed three hostile Indians who
had fired upon and wounded the
agent. Again in his annual repor
to the Secretary of War Genera
Pope uses this language: The
Mescaleros have been perfectly
quiet and well behaved for a long
time past, and seem to be very vel
managed by their most etticien
: agent, Mr.. Llewellyn." In a sim
liar report in 1888, Gen. Mackcn
zie characterizes Major LEV llyn''
success in disarming TWO bands o
. Mcscaleros and arresting the insub
ordinate Indians as = brilliant
piece of official work New Mexi
co may well feel pride in scndinf
slch a delegation to the natioua
Republican Convention.

WmrE OAKs, MAY Sth. 1881

To the citizens of White Oaks.
How true the saying "always
the darkest before day" We have
just emerged from darkness, and
everything now looks bright and
beautiful, like tie flowers after the
gentle dews from heaven have
sprinkled them. The bonanza we
have been looking for is at last
struck on the South Homcstuke,
also on the Old Abe The wintry
blasts Of nearly five years have
passed away since these locations
were made; many dollars have
been spent, and sad hearts and
gloomy toiobodings passed oyer
our heads, but perseverance,'p pluck
and energy have succeeded. and
the gloom has passed away like the
dew before the giittering sunlight.
The South Homestake is awonder
ful property. hundreds of tons of
rock glittcling with gold. The di-
mensions of the lead are not known
up to this date, but it is known to
be immense, it is well defined, run
ming northeast and southwest,
contrary to the wav the location
was made Up TO this time $25,
/ 900 have been expended on this
property by not knowing the di-
rection the lead was running. But
this amounts to little in comparison
/ to what is in sight. Owners will
be well compensated Iol money eX-
pended. The Old Abe, another
Of the B0nanzas of this camp, has
had a great deal Of money expond-
ed on it, looking for the lead.
Here again energy and pluck pre-
vailed and success crowned oul
efforts. Wehave a lead three feel
between walls, well defined, and
considerable perceptiblegold. And
let me tell you, people Of White
Oaks, all that is necessary to make
us blossom as the rose is to go 81
in this good work, root out tn,
evils that are among us, get rid o
the carrion and Shiny creature,
who are in our midst, and are re
tarding the progress of everything
root them out, send them to tn,
fiery furnaces OF perdition. AnC
miners look to your interests
Gods noblemen, men who have
worked until the blood has nearl,
oozed from their brows to keel
body and soul together, now to bt
bulldozed by these Shylocks is
burning shame, and barbarour
wrong; stand by your rights, anc
be men, and If necessary "strik,

fact that the cattle disease scare,

stock, and, temporarily, fat cattle
A well known commission mer-
chant declares that the decline Of
80 to IS cts per cwt. on cattle here
and SIS per head decline in Eng
land within the last two molths is
chargeable directly to the agitation
about cattle disease in Kansas, Hi

fuencc Of the scare has been strong
ly felt in fine stock circles, and
auction sales OF late have been un-
satisfactory, Prices have been un-
satisfactory to owners, who are

the untavorable conditions have
been brought about by the wide
