The removal by Gov. Ross of
Attorney General Breeder, follow
ing SO closely that of Wade, and
followed Immediately by tha' of

strictly partlzan organization of the
Courts, which not unnaturally cx-
cites surpr's.d comment. In the
case of Mr.. Breeder, there are rea-
sons for eXcusing the Governors
action, which do not exist in tho
other, eases. The nature of the Of
flee, and its relations to that of the
Territorial Executive, should, we
think, have suggested to Breeden,
the propriety of rendering his re-
signation-at once after the qualiti-
cation of the Governor, (as did our
old friend, Adj't Gen. Bartlett,)
thereby leaving Ross free to select
his confidential adviser. We very
strongly doubt, however, the Gov
ernor's power to remove him.

THANKSGIVING.

We again stand upon the thresh-
hold of another week. Soon an
other Sabbath will be opened up
toTus The marts of trade, throng-
ed as we write, with spectators
and legitimate traders, will on the
tomorrow, be silent and deserted,
while the churches, today vacant,
will tomorrow, be opened and Wis
tied by those who remember that
time is the precursor of eternity,
the hour given to prepare for
ages, the shadow of a never end
ing future, the breath which kin
dies an eternal flame, the season
for gaining favor with the Creator,
for exercising the holy influences
of faith, benevolence and love.
On that day the Holy Word Of
God will be opened, read and ex-
pounded. Sacred hymns will be
sung, and prayers offererd up to
the Most High. The man of toll
will don his cleanest attire, and
with wife and children, repair to
the Sanctuary, there to offer up
thanks for favors received, and pc
,tition continuance of Divine
love.
|" Another week is about being
added to, and numbered with,
those of the irrevocable past, and
the allotted time for accunulating
sarthly treasure, of gaining politi.
cal distinction, Of training the in
tellect, cultivating genius. display
ing eloquence, and for the purs Its
of life generally, will soon expire
with us, and be transferred with Il
new lease to those who will follow
us.
The evidences of the flight of
time are SO striking and numerous
that the lessons they are designed
to teach should not be lost upon
us. AS the leaves of flowers fall
one by one, so do the members of
communities, some when just put
ting Oh the garb of beauty, others
when in the meridian OF their glo-
ry, while others live until the cold
breath oi the season wlthers and
destroys them. In the Spring time
the streams and rivulets are bound
ing with lite, and issue melody as
they glide along their beds +, their
determined course. But soon the
bed ways are dry, and drop by
drop the waters have dried up.
True, the roses again blossom, and
the streams and rivulcts again
gush with renewed lie, but such
renewals Indicate a new generation.
The 2Gth inst. has been appoint
ed by the President of the United
States as day OF National Thanks
giving. Gov. Ross has cOncurrcd
in the appointment, and cnioinS
upon all within the limits of this
Commonwealth to celebrate the
dav as one of Thanksgiving and
prayer. We trust the Proclama-
tions will be responded to, and
that OH the day appointed, the at
mosphere pervading our land will
be resonant with the ascenuing
prayers of our people.

Lincoln and Socorro.

GENERAL surprise is being eX-
pressed at the rapid and steady
growth of our commercial relations
with our friends Of Lincoln county
For years the trade of that beauti-
tul and prosperous section of coun-
try has been in the entire control
of towns to the north and south OF
us, until finally the people Of tins
city settled down to the conclusion
that intercourse with onr eastern
neighbors was impossible and
unnecessary. Such was the situa-
ton when one OF the editors Of this
paper arrived from White Oaks,
after several years residence there,
and started the Socorro Chleftain,
knowing fully its wants and advan-
tages, and having IL list Of nearly
two hundred subscribers in all parts
Of that county, the Chieftain start
ed out to cultivate friendly relations
between the citizens of the cast
and west side of the Rio Grande,
and to set forth the advantages as
well as the necessity for closer
intercourse. From that time there
has been a steady growth of better
feeling, as well as a slow but sure
increase Of business relations, and
with the completion of the bridge
at this point, all was propitious for
strong and permanent CONNER
cial union Of these two counties.
From the day of the union Of both
banks of the river, there has been
tirmer union of the people and
now in the short space of five or
six weeks, it would seem as if our
mutual intercourse was such, as
might take years to build up,
while our business keeps steadily
increasing. Travel is stcaiy be.
tween Socorro and different points
in Lincoln county, while the roa
is alive with freighters in charge of
goods. The road is a good oat,
the distance very short, with t;n9
grazing ane plenty of water at tre-
Guent intervals. Mining on tile
OH the east side Of the river. in tlis
and the adjoining county, is rapidly
improving, and soon large quani-
ties of ore will come from there for
treatment at this place, the smclt-
ing and milling center of the south
west. The Lincoln county pastor
al lands are equal to the best III
New Mexico, covered with count
less thousands OF cattle, horses and

rom there in large quantities. soon
to be followed by live stock for
shipment by rail to the east. But
SOcorro's success has awakened ri
val towns, which have heretofore
controlled that trade, to u display
of renewed energy, and they are
now making every effort to hold or
regain that which is now slipping
from Their grasp Unusual IN
ducements are now being offered,
in some cases sales being Temporal
rily made at less than costs, so it
hehOovtS our merchants To be ON
the watch, to offer every induce
ment especially while other points
are making such desperate etforts)
to treat their customers fairly and
honorably, as is their went. BY
keeping on in that course, with
tie good feeling pervading the two
communities and the united en-
deavors Of the press of both coun
ties. the ties between Lincoln and
Socorro will become stronger, TO
their mutual advantage and ad-
vancement.

bestirred itself to secure commune
cation with Lincoln County, and
sought to procure mail and trade
direct with our people, which pro
position we cordially endorsed, as
we deemed2Fit to our interest that
we hold relations with some com
munity which wonld appreciate our
offerings, and through which our
business avenues would be widened.
Then Socorro awoke, thesblood of
its citizens andlbusiness men quick
ened, and with an alacrity hereto
fore unknown to or otEthem, they
set on foot measures which culml-
mated in the building of a substan-
tial bridge across the RIO Grando,
and the leveling of a roadway
leading and inviting our people to
visit them.
1t has been said that "God
helps those who help themselves.
and Socorro finally viewed the sit
uation from business standpoint,
and now we hail and embrace her,
and stand preparedto re marriage
of White Oaks and Socotro, whose
union was so cruelty divorced three
years since, and trust that the re-
union may be perpetual and fruit
ful.

TIE following memorial is being
circulated for signatures throughout
the Territory
To the President of the Senate and
Speaker OF the House Of Repre-
scntatiyes:
\ our memOrialists would re-
specially represent; that by reason
of the act Of the last Legislative As
sembly ofthe Territory of NewMexi
co, postponing the next succeeding
session till the 2Sth day of Decem-
Der, 1886, the people of the Terri
tory will then have been nearly
three years without legislation ;
that since the taking of the census
III 1880, there has been an increase
Of Il, 900 in the population of the
Territory that this increase has
been mainly in the remote and
newer countries y that local in
dustrial interests have been largely
developed in these countries, ne
cessitating measures of legislation
for Their regulation and conserva-
ton that is therefore of great mo-
ment to the well being and pros
perity of the Territory that a ses-
sion of the Legislature Assembly
be authorized by Congress at the
time fixed by the law OF the Terri
tory. 1t is also important that the
Act of Congress authorizing such
sessions and making appropriation
therefor, should also provide tor Il
rcappOrtiOnment of the Territory
into Council and Representa-, :
Districts for the election of mem
bers therefor, at the general cleo
ton IN November next, to the end
that the representation Of the
several districts, which is now
unequal, may be equahzed by
basing 1t upon population as
found to exist by the censns
of 1885, as recently taken. We
respectfully request that,.i in the alb
sence OF the usual method of reap
pertionment before the meeting OF
the Legislature, the Governor of
the Territory be authorized to make
such reappOrtionmeDt.
