Since the political cyclone OF the
End inst, the wise men oil the west
nave been striving to account for
{, as their scientific brethren OF the
cast have been trying to construct
q tncory for the Charleston earth
quake, and with not much better
success. The theory that Dor
sey did it," is demolished by the
fact that nearly all the county tick
cts shared the tate of Dwyer, who
ran pretty evenly with the best
men nominated for county offices.
Charging it to. bribery and corrlp-
ton, won't do, because there was
not money enough to go around,
and the democratic office holders
are not noted for their liberality.
The best reason have heard Civ
en-, is, that very large class OF our
vetcrs look upon the admnistra
ton as the Government, and think
that to oppose the one, is to be
disloyal to the other. This, cou-
pied with ths Endorsements OF
grand and petit jary duteis, wit
ness fees and mileage, the per-
sonal appeals Of the Governor and
promises Of being taken care OF by
the marshal, had their effect, and
this accounts largely for the milk
in the cocua-nut.
Ii now trauspircs that there hNs
been no appropriation BY Congress
! for the expenses of our legislation.
So, although the time fixed for it'a
mec,ipg was the last Monday in
Dee, there is 10 probability Of its
;neeliDg before February, as2there
IS positive prohibition against n
session until an appropriation has
been made by Congress tor it, and
! The SiIl casnot possibly be passed
before the last Of January.
The elegant new Capitol build
ing will, however, be fully Icom-
pletel and ready for occupancy
within so days. This editice is
crzdit to ali concerned in ito con
straction. It's outward appearance
is massive, yet graceful, and the
interior arrangement and decora-
ton is perfect. Many Eastern
visitors have expressed their sd-
m.re,iun tor it, and declare that

ativ"s IL the finest room for its size
they ever saw. There are fifty
revtu rooms aud Offices in the
au,lling. besides the large vnplts.

he ch,gt beauty Is, that it will be
fully completed within tho appro-

depot, across tire river and about
five miles out OF town. Part Of
the material and rolling stock has
arrived, and there is no doubt of
it's completion by January 1st,
when it is to receive the $3.50, 900
in county bends "oted upon its
completion. Tha surveyed route
and charter calls fer its extension
from Santa Ie to the coal and min
eral fields Of Los Cerillos, and
/ thence TO White Oaks district, only
about 80 miles, and while a
branch to Albuquerque was con-
templated, there would seem no
sufficient reason tor it's not going
there at once, and the probability
is, that your town will see the
pony locomotive bafore Albuqner-
que does, to our material profit
and advantage.
