REMOVALS AND PARDoSsi 1S1 .
 ?. Edmund c. Ross has afteie ptedto create vacancy in the office of Dis trict Attorney of the Third Judicial District of the Territory by suspend ing Edward c. Wade, the legal oceu- pant of the office, and issued a com mission to one Ashenfelter, who is his nephew. This Ross did against the advice of the ablest attorneys of the Territory, and in violation of law as the courts of the Territory have since decided. He also suspended the At torney General of the Territory and issued a commission to N. B. Laugh lin who unlawfully attempted to ex- ercise the duties of the office. Very recently the Supreme Court of the Territory ascided that the Governor had acted without authority and busted Laughlin.
 Ross has stated to newspaper re- porterS and others, and allowed these statements to go uncontradicted in the papers, that he would retain his ap- polntees in office regardless of the de- cisions of the courts.
 3. Ross has pardoned notorious crim- inals, thus turning loose upon society outlaws and murderers, and rendering insecure the lives and property of peaceable, law-abiding citizens. When asked for his reasons he refused in violent and peremptory manner to furnish the information desired.
 4. He has issued Territorial militia vouchers amounting to thousands of dollars in violation of law, and has thereby materially injured the credit and financial standing of the Territory.
 5. Ross, by reason of his mental and physical condition, is unftted to discharge the important duties of Governor of the Territory.
 These are the charges in general. The numerous afidavits filed enter into details of various Territorial mat ters. Among others there is an expo sure ofan alleged conspiracy in regard to the Albuquerque town site. Sena- tor Harrison, chairman of the Com mittee on Territories, is reported to be taking quite an interest Tn the inves- tIgatlon.

THE INDIANS FEEL INSULTED

The charges go on to say: This ex- traordinary act of assumption that he was the representative of Montezuma has made Governor Ross a target for ridicule, and has made him a subject of laughter for the thousands of intell- igent citizens of the Territory. His assumption to the representative of Montezuma has shocked and mortified the feelings of the Pueblo Indians of said Territory, who are sun-worship- perS, and have a sacred regard for Montezuma, and a religious convic- tion, strong and deep, that Montezu ma in person will again appear to them. The Governor action, there fore, has created feeling on the part of these peaceable, industrious and Indians that they have been insulted by the Government of the United States, through its repre- sentative, B. c. Ross, and that their religious belief has been madS. S.q mock

the office he holds the disrespect of the people of the said Territory by his acts, many of those acts being uncon- stitutional as well as undignifed and having a tendency to create feeling of contempt for his authority ss the Chief Executive.
 1. He signaled his advent to the Territory soon after his appointment as Governor by arriving at Santa Fe, the capital of the Territory, in the night and causing many of the citi- zens of Santa Fe to be aroused from their slumbers to appear before him at tho Governor palace to witness hlS inauguration at the risingof tke-sun. This. as he stated, was a representa- tion of the coming of Montezuma by the person or his representative, Ed mund G. Ross, and in difference to an old barbaric tradition of the native Pueblo Indians of New Mexico.
 One version of this affair states that just before the ceremony a small boy was posted on wall to ''holler" at the first appearance of the suns rim above the horizon, the principals in the affair not being where they could see the sun until after it had risen.

not prohibitionist getstf thrown overheard
to make food for the fishes. The Iateligeneer
is not for prohibition but is about to en-
bark on the prohibition boat. The REG
IsTER prefers to remain on terra Jf'rld. If
our contemporary will with its eyes open
persist in going overheard, we can't help
it.
The majority of course rule and will
amend the constitution when they see fit.
But whether majority or minority is in
favor offs general prohibition law, the
REGISTER believes that the local option
law is better for our State
and believes of course that an amend
ment should not be passed, nor submit
ted-for that means its probable passage.
The successful working ola prohibition law
depends upon public sentiment. A pro-
hibition law in n county or a city where
nublie sentiment does not favor it would
be only q dead letter, and would be worse
than no law at all. A good many OF the
towns and counties of the State have
ayailed themselves of the provisions OF the
local option law, and have prohibition as
effectually as if they had constitutional
proyision to that effect. In Monday
REGISTER appeared statement from The
Freeman showing the very satisfactory
workings of the local prohibition law IN
Charleston.
The present law is all that this county
wants now. Whenever public sentiment
in our county believes it would be best to
have a prohibition law the people will pro-
coed ut once to pass such law. But
the large majority of our citizens do
not believe that such law would be
advisable at this time and would re-
card the thrusting Oft upon them, by
popular vote of the State, misfortune
and deprivation of that individual liberty
which the State constitution guarantees.
Our city would lose all its revenue and we
would have no more prohibition than we
have at present The business OF many
of our citizens would be ruined, only TO
give the traffic on the opposite side OF the
Ohio a chance to spring up and prosper at
our city's expense. There would be al
most rs much intoxicants drunk i'll Wheel
ing rs before, being bought in Ohio In
stead OfWheeling.
And, indeed, while the majority OF the
people ola State have right to rule, it is
nevertheless n fact that the real spirit OF
American institutions is, that the power Of
regulating local affairs should be left rs
much as possible to the counties and towns
rather than centralized in the State Gov
mcnt.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

4 correspondent, IN communication
on our local columns, reviews the cXpcndi
lures of the Board of Commissioners, act
inc in the capacity ofOverSccrs of the
Poor, during the year ending May ii,
lSs6, and charactcrizing the total as
enormous" and excessive and pro-
ceeds to censure certain of the members Of
the Board for their lavish expenditures in
relieving the distress OF the poor within
their several districts. Ii should bc borne
in mind that the twelve months ending
with the first day of June last
WAS time when large num-
bers of our citizens were out
of employment and the distress and want
were consequently much greater than for
many years back. Many people who had
heretofore maintained themselves by labor,
were. during this time, forced to apply to
their Commissioner for aid, and especially
was this true during our long and severe
winter. We can easily see how the dis
bursementS of the OyerSecrS run up to an
unusual total, and are not inclined to JOIN
with our correspondent i'll pressing cen
sure. If the correspondent desires to haul
the Commissioners over the Goals, We
would suggest the matter Of the publica-
ton of the receipts and expenditures OF
the county, as offering Il hotter Opportu-
tunity, Section - of chapter 80 of the code
directs the County Courts to annually,
within four months after the close Of the
fiscal year, publish in one or more papers
in the county, a detailed and itemlzed
statement of the receipts and expenditures
of the county, with a full exhibit Of the
county debt. This law has been ignored
in Ohio county, this year, notwithStand-
ing its plain and explicit terms. As the
Board of Commissioners has no discretion
in the matter, but is obliged to publish
the statement, this would seem to be an
opportunity to call them to account.

THE INTELLIGENCER FOR AND
AGAINST PROHIBITION.

The following, from yesterdays IRteIIi-
geaeer, is intended to explain to the people
its position on the Prohibition question:
Nobody who can read and understand
the English language has any reason to be
in the dark in respect of the LatsliigeReer'S
position on the question of prohibition or
the question of submission. Everybody
who reads this newspaper knows that (l)
it does not favor prohibition, and 81 that
it is in favor of submitting the proposed
amendment.
The IRteLigeReer futher says that if the
amendment is submitted it does mot know
which way the majority would 60" 1t
then, after second thought, seems to con-
clude that the amendment will be passed
if submitted, and straightway begins an
attempt to please that portion of our eiti-
zens engaged in the brewing and liquor
business by telling them what they have
often been told before, and what United
States judges in the West have
decided upon-that manufacturers,
and dealers in liquors should be recon-
penSed for their losses. The IHtCl-
HgeReer's editorial leaves the reader to in
fer, that it believes the Prohibition amend
ment will be passed. But however this
may be, if the Iatelligeaeer takes thought
on the situation it can see with half an eye
that the submission of the amendment
means prohibition, because that is the
tendency in the agricultural districts.
Then if the IateligeRer's statement of its
position on this question means anything
it is this: 1T does not favor prohibition"
but lis in favor of submitting the prohibi-
ton amendment" which means the
triumph of prOhibitiOn-Or it both is and is
is not in favor of prohibition. The
Iateligeaeer's patrons will have some little
difficulty in understanding how the same
thing can occupy two different positions at
the time.
The ERtelligeaeer will now, according to
its position, proceed to work for prohibit
ton for all that's out 1t will then face
about and work against it for dear life.

wharf Every one who sails on it and is
