Tho Receipts of the Government Pan TO
Meet the Expectations.
CRY or MEXICO, Jan. 22.--Owing to
the falling of IN government receipts
from All sources due 10 the depression in
trade and among other causes to the
lack OF confidence on account OF the con-
tinual depreciation in silver, the opera
tlon OF the June decree for the consolida-
ton OF the debt as far as regards the
payment OF interest will probably be post
poned for one year. The government has
cabled the English bondholders not to
send an envoy here from London,
but TO await the special envoy to be sent
from Mexico The Guances Of the coun-
try continue unsatisfactory and the reye-
nue. does not come up TO the expectations
OF the government, and IL is quite prob
able that upon the arrival Of the Mexican
envoy in London the whole matter will
be opened up anew.

Another stray COW has been heard from,
and she appears to know a thing or two
which all Of the bovine fraternity are not
posted on. She runs at large in the west
ern and southern portion of the city, but
at night she has a regular stopping place
which is on the site of the old stable which
belonged to l.. r. Bresnahen and which
was burned down several weeks ago. This
~sagacious animal has learned that there is
such a thing as spontaneous combustion,
and also that in piles Of manure there is a
certain degree of heat which is gratifying
to the bovine nature on these cold nights.
At about 9 o'clock every night this COW
can be seen on the site Of the old stable.
where there are several piles of manure
and other rubbish, where she goes to work
and paw VI a hole large enough to re-
ceive her body and lays down therein. the
heat from the surrounding and underlying
manure serving to keep her warm and
comfortable until morning.

The department convention of the G..
A. r.. Department of Colorado will CON
vene at Pueblo next week, and the John
f. Reynolds post of this city will of course
be represented. The G. A. r. posts in
other parts Of the territory will also send
their representatives, and the plan now is
for ill of these delegates to gather here in
Cheyenne on or before Sunday next in
order that the Wyoming delegates may 60
down to Pueblo in a body. The conven-
ton will, in making its selections for Of
fccrs for the coming term, probably rec
ognize the claims Of Wyoming to some of
the leading positions in the department,
and it is quite likely that one of the rep
resentatives of the department to the ma
tional convention will be conceded to this
territory.

There seems TO be a disagreement
among prominent Southern cattlemen
about the basis Of representation al the
coming range convention o o TO meet in
Denver. The Denver Ncics published a
few days ago the statement that many of
the leading stockmen of Denver favored
the holding of mass meeting, in which
all Interested in the cattle business.
whether delegates or not, could have a
voice in the proceedings. Leading men
of Texas, New Mexico. Montana, Dakota
and Wyoming are in favor of sending del
egates to the convention and carrying out
the original plans in regard to holding a
meeting in which the interests of range
cattlemen shall be considered. Cheyenne,
from its location and extensive cattle in
t%erests, should be the permanent head
quarters for conventions to be held here
after in the interests of this growing in

THE LEGISLATURE.
Gov. Warren Delivers His Message
to a I0int Session,
And is Attentively Listened TO by
a Large Audience.

The territorial council and house of rep
%resentatiyes convened Yesterday afternoon
at . O'Clock. But little business was
transacted. the members of both houses
meeting in Joint session for the purpose
of hearing Governor Warren message.
In the council Mr.. Delaney was APP
pointed a committee of one to accompany
Mr.. Dowers, the sergeant-at-arms elect,
to the Office OF Chief Justice Lacey, in
order that the oath of office might be
taken by the new official. A joint reso-
luton in reference to the creating of the
new legislative officers, passed the council
under a suspension of the rules. and was
sent to the house for its concurrence.
The l%incumbents to these offices had al
ready been selected, as heretofore men
toned in THE LEADER, and it is not nee
essary to mention them again at this time.
Little else except what has been men
toned above was done by the council I'M
til that body, preceded by President
Blake and the committee from the house,
proceeded to the hall of the house of rep
resentatiyes to listen to the reading of the
governors message.
The house of representatives was called
to order at 2 O'Clock p. m, Speaker John
S. Kerr presiding. Some little business
of minor importance was done, and re-
ports from two of the special committees
Of the house were made and the commit
tees discharged. By this time the hall of
the house was nearly filed with people
and in the vacant space Immediately in
front of the speakers desk chairs had
been provided and many ladies were pre-
sent, including Mrs. Governor Warren.
On the platform near the speaker
sat Ex-Governor HIoyt, Rev. ID. l.. RAIDER,
chaplain of the house, aud Others. When
all preparations had been completed, the
committees of the house, consisting Of
Col. Downey and Messrs. Seaton and
Gentry, retired for the purpose of inform
ing the council that the house was ready
to receive that body in joint session, and
soon after reappeared followed by the
members of the council, who took their
seats on the floor of the house in chairs
that had been provided for that purpose.
On entering the house, President Blake,
of the council, was accompanied by Col.
Downey, who presented that gentleman
