GEN. ATKINSON.


We are of those who believe
that when a people have a good
and tried servant his services sho'd
be retained as long as possible
Especially is this true IN the case
OF men holding important folios
which invite corruptionists.
We are informed that a cabal
is surreptitously at work in the en-
deavor to secure the decapitation OF
Surveyor General Atkinson's Off
cial head. 1t is not claimed, nor
even limited, that Atkinson is eth
er incompetent or corrupt and yet
it is conceded by all that the posi-
ton of Surveyor General in New
Mexico is all important at this par
ticular juncture, and the secret eff
fort to have him deposcd should
bring upon his assassins merited
rebuke. That the Gen. has not
secured the confidence of the San
ia Fe ring Is sufficient evidence oi
his nerve and incorruptioility.
We have known Henry NJ. At
kinson many years. Before he oc
cupied public position we were
townsman Of his. When he was
L. S. Commissioner Of Pensions
we were editor Of the Republic
Magazine, published at Washing
ton, and we know that Presiden
Grant and Secretary Chandler en-
deavored to dissuade him from re
signing his portfolio, as also tina
the President Immediately after &C
cepting his resignation sent hi
name to the Senate for contirma
ton as Surveyor General Of thi
! Territory, without solicitation Oh
the part Of Atkinson or any of hi
friends-the appointment was
surprise to him, aud recognized a
substantial testimonial Of his ST
periors when he held a more in
p portant office thau that which h
now SO honorably fills.
We have had no correspondence
with the Gen. on the subject, an
do not know whether or not h
cares baubee as to hIs retentio
y or removal, and only put our oa
s in iu behalf of the public veal. -
In our Judgment, his decapltt
ton at this time would be a publ
calamity.

SAN ANDREAS.
GRANGER's WIFE.

J. P. Eaker returned this week
from the San Andreas, and about
the first thing he did alter getting
in, was to wend his way TO our
sanctum with some very fine ore
specimens taken from his mines,
aud which he brought in and pre-
sented for place in our cabinet OF
ore collections. To say that the
specimens are beautiful, and add
greatly to the appearance of our
collection, does not express or sig
Nifty the value of the ore, yet, it is
undoubtedly the richest copper ore
we have yet seen from that famous
district. After extending the usual
congratulations, and taking theImu
tual smile incident on such occa-
sions, and proceeded to interro
gate J. P. thusly:

The following brief account Of the
enforced emigration of Joel Fow-
Ter we clip from last Wednesday
mornings Socorro Sun.
Between the hours of II and 1
O'Clock this morning about 200 men
surrounded the Jail and demanded
of the guards the surrender OF Fow-
Ter, the guards making no resist
ance, the citizens proceeded to force
the door leading to Fowler's cell.
This was accomplished in very
few minutes, and Fowler was taken
out, crying murder at the top OF
his voice, He was taken to tree
about 200 yards west ofthe jail and
hung.
The citizens then quietly dis
persed to their respective homes.
The crime for which Fowler was
hung, was the murder Of j. W.
Gale last November, since which
time he has been guarded by the
Socorro Militia. On January 20,
the Governor ordered the Militia
to be taken off, and turned Fowler
o. er to the Sheriff. Since he has
been in the hands of the Sheriff,
! Fowler's friends have been permit
ted to see him at any time they
desised. So, to prevent his escape,
the citizens took the law into their
own hands.
Owing to the extreme secrecy
preserved by everyone, we are un-
able to obtain any further particu-
lars.

THE DONKEY's S DREAM.

A donkey lay him down to sleep,
And as he slept and snored full deep,
He was observed (strange sight } to weep,
AS if in anguish mood.
A gentle mule that lay near by
The donkey reused, and with sigh
A kindly voice, inquired why
Those tears he did exude
The dsnkey, while he trembled DER,
And dropped cold sweat from every pore
Made answer in fearful roar;
Il dreamed was a dude"
