And when he steps aside, tor

Old friendships are damn I'd or bro

that in this "change" and confu-

But perhaps we cease to wonder
ct the grand part New York takes
in the daily history Of the country,
when we learn to appreciate and
know her as she deserves. What
ever she does, (and she does every
thing,) is done grandly. A mil
liohaire capitalist is seen one day
with millionaire contractor. The
next day the contractor beckons to

its far beyond those confirmed and
patented, in regard to which former
limits there was at no time a dis
pute. In other cases, grants at
the time unconirmed, or confirm
ell without reference to definite
boundaries, have been grossly ex-
tended, as the result of conspiracy
sometimes involving the Deputy
Surveyor running the lines, and
sometimes not. For instance, dep
uty surveyors are authorised and
directed Tin cases where natural Oh
Iects and boundaries are not readi-
ly to be identitied) to take testimo-
ny regarding them, upon the spot.
We will say that such boundary
is the "Arroya Colorado" in Il
country full OF arroyas. Testimo-
ny is taken. Half a dozen Mexi
cans come up and testify that a
certalu arroyo has always been
known to them as the "Arroya
Colorado" and that their fathers
always told them that it was the
boundary of the - Merced. The
grant is surveyed accordingly,
though perhaps in fact, the real
Arroyo Colorado was fifteen miles
North, South, East or West of the
one made use of. The surveyor
might, or might not be in the plot.
bat th1 result would be the same.
When the notes Of survey went up
tor approval, &C., they were ac-
companed by the testimony with
which they were perfectly in ac-
cord Of course. They were ap-
proved as a matter OF course. InI
many cases grave doubts might ex-
lst as to the results reached, and
yet there would be no means ofuu-
earthing the fraud, or of reaching
the guilty parties. 1t is difficult
even now, when after careful inyes-
tlgatlon, the facts in many cases
are substantially known, to obtain
legal evidence of fraud. Those
engaged in the work of unear;h-
ing the frauds are entitled to in
dulgent patience, for their task is
by difficulties which the
general public can impertsctly re-
allSe, and if in the end the results
actually reached may seem made
quate to the effort, they will still
be entitled to credit for etiecting
any thing in face of the admitted
obstacles. 1t must be borne in
mind that very many of these
frauds are very old. Bat one New
Mexican grant has been confirmed
within sixteen years. After the ad
VENT of the Republicans to power
in 1861, no New Mexican grant
was recommended to Congress for
confirmation until 1870. In this
connection we hope that the peo
pie Of New Mexico in general, will
give Governor Ross hearty SUP.
port in his effort to obtain the crea-
ton by Congress of Commission
to settle the grant titles remaining
unconfrmed. To refer them to the
existing courts is useless. They
are already Overcrowded with busl
ness, and reference of grant IT, |
ties to them. means indefinite post
ponement. Congress has persist
emily neglected the duties in the
connection which it reserved to
Itself from the earliest times. And
there is no body on earth less quail
itied to exercise the complicated

tent, and energetic, ought in three
years at the utmost to finally settle
all the grant titles in New Mexico,
and that time ought we think, to
be fixed as the duration of their
powers.

The letter of Attorney General
Breeden in answer to the mortiti-
cation Of his attempted suspension
by Gov. Ross, is clear cut state
ment of the legal aspect of the act
in question. There is no doubt but
that the supreme courts Of Montana
and New Mexico, and the attorney
general of the United States in the
Colorado cases, have decided in the
strongest terms that the Governor
OF a territory has not the power
claimed in this case by Ress.
The attempt by the governor
to remove one set of Off
GERS and appoint another, will re-
suit in modification tor himself,
territorial, and ill feeling in the
territory at large, and in interrup,
ton of the public business. We
sympathize strongly with many of
the announced purposes of the gov
ernor, and wish him the fullest
measure of success. Success can
not, however, be attained outside
of the law, nor is 1t desirable out
side of the law.

Trying to walk with one foot in
the grave does not help us to get
along. Lift up your head and heart,
your hands and your feet, your all,
and do what you can, making your
self as useful as possible.
Neither bread and raiment, nor
even religion, are found in the grave.
Fretting about things which can
not be changed except by your own
conduct is like finding fault with
your cook for giving you bad Coffee
for breakfast when the fault is with
yourself in providing her with an
inferior article to make from, while
Genuine Mandheling lava
may be readily obtained at slight
difference in cost.
Keep your temper, and let the
bad Coffee be w2rning against pro-
viding more ligs it. The best use
OF past follies and errors is to let
them teach us to be more wise now.
