ROSWELL--Nov. az, 1884,
Editor Era :

Editor Era:
In vour issue of the Goth inst. we
notice in the items from Roswell
what We consider very unjust allie
CATION against tho judges of the late
election in this precinct. Your cor
respondent saws, in effect, chat he
knows how every man in the pre-
cinct voted, and that he received the
information from the judges. Now,
if he really does know all this, we
believe he is in possession Of more
knowledge in regard to the vote of
this precinct than any man in it, not
excepting the Judges themselves.
The facts are that the vote of this
precinct was counted strictly in CON
formity with the law, which says
very plainly and if the gentleman
ever saw it he would know that
it shall be done in public, and i'll
view of this fact, it is very apparent
to any reasonably intelligent per-
son that it could be easily ascertained
how any one voted by any person
present SO desiring.
In justice to your correspondent,
we believe if he had known what the
law is, he would have censured the
law instead Of the Judges of election,
who are all known to be gentlemen
OF the highest sense of honor and
possessed of sufficient intelligence
TO understand tho law before them,
and there are plenty Of persons here
who can attest the fact that the law
was complied with by the judges OF
election in precinct No. :. If your
correspondents vote was made pub
lie against his wishes, it is a fault of
the law and the blame should rest
where it belongs and not upon officers
who are sworn to comply with its
provisions. Moreover, most of the
ballots cast here were voted openly
and above board, and from the inde-
pendent character, honest convic-
tions and principles Of our people
generally, we believe there was
scarcely man voted who would
have hesitated to show his ticket tc
anybody. There may have been all
exceptional case or two, and it is
barely possible your correspondent
might have been one Of them. From
what he says We are inclined to the
conclusion that either he, or those
who make our laws, have very
vague idea of the meaning intended
to be conveyed by the words "sanc'
tity of the ballot box"
In the meantime our ex-judgcs oi
election are trembling in their boot:
in contemplation of that threatened
"iudicial enquiry before the federal
COURT" JUSTICE.

"SLEEPING LOVE"

a fine steel engraving of pcrauls's
charming picture, "Sleeping Love"
has been offered by the publishers
of Godey's Lady's Book to every
new subscriber to the magazine for
tho year 1885. The plate is a very
artistic one beautifully printed on
thick paper of a size suitable for
handsome framing. The subject, Il
little dimpeled Love, adorned with
nothing but his baby charms, is ly-
ing on soft grassy couch, fast
asleep among the wild flowers, his
round, white limbs approaching the
cool umbrage of pond of water
lilies. One little chubby hand rests
lightly on his unstrung bow, which
is lying under him, while the other
hand is softly pressed upon his check,
the plump fingers threading thus
wavy masses Of his floating hair.
Under the right arm and shoulder
one little Iowny wing is snugly
tucked away, while the other peeps
up from the back with pretty sug-
gostiveness. Overhead are droop-
ing, shadowy boughs covered with
rich foliage, and the background
reveals a deep perspective of cool
forest shade. The picture is one of
striking simplicity, yet admirable
composition, and tho figure of the
Sleeping Love" himself, with
dropping eyelids and softly parted
lips that OFFSET tho rounded beauty of
habyhood, is one of the prettiest YOU
could well conceive Of. Messrs. ].
Fl. 1Iaulenheek & Co., proprietors
of the Godey's Lady's Book, have
produced this charming picture most
successfully. 1t is much admired
by some of the must fastidious con.
noisseurs.

Mr.. Frank Edwards, accompanied

Edwards, but found to his great
disappointment that he had been
sent to the territorial prison at Santa
Fe, the officers having returned but
few hours before. The gentlemen
had the appearance of good sub
stantial, well to do citizens, and
seemed to be very much broken up
over the course OF John T., whom
thev characterized as the wild one
of the family, he having left home
when quite young for the frontier.
Having come SO far, they concluded
to continue On to Santa fe and see
if anything could be done toward
his liberation and accordingly left
early the next morning.
