A large number of sheep were attached as the pro- perty of Vigil, and kept for long time at the expense of the county, but 1t turned out that the sheep were the property of Frank Hub bell, and not one dollar was ever realized to the county therefrom. For keeping the sheep and ether expenses resulting from the trans action THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIX DOLLARS were paid out of the county treasury in cash. At the next meeting of the Board of Su- pervisors Robert Emmet Morrison, with his unblushing cheek and sub lime gall, presented a bill against the county for $250, fee for volun- ,eered legal services.

TIE 'Eyo-Openers' claim that Tom Perez once filled the Sheriff's office in a courageous and impartial manner; and that when he was Sheriff the county was in an unor- ganiZed and Iawless condition. This bosh cannot be swallowed by people who know better, and a great many of them do. MT. Perez'S de- puties and ieutenants, when he WAS sheriff were as follows: Don Emiterio Mareno, who has just re- turned to our midst from the Yuma penitcntiary, after serving 8 sen tence for grand larceny. Another, Don Eutinio Baca, who has not vet served out a term in the peni- tentiary for the same crime. And another, Don Antonio Gonzales, who Is now working a trail to that summer resort, under indictments for the same charge and perjury. And still another of Mr. Perez's + luStrioUs deputies was Don Juan Marcno, who was indicted for the same charge, grand larceny, and who escap'd from the community, before the generous county got tho opportunity of giving him free pass to Yuma and four or five years board.
 Who could expect the county to be in anything else than an ''unor- ganized condition" under such cir cumstances. When Mir. Perez's own deputies represented the great est criminals in the county, what else but 'IawIessness" could be ex- pectcd.
 As to "impartiality," every one knows, who was in the county six yeors ago, that 1!r Perez, when he had warrant for the arrest of a white man, never lost the oppOr- tunity of dcputizing from twenty to fifty murdering MeXicans to make the arrest. The arrest of Bob Lee and the insignificant and harmless Dan Wahl, are sufficient instances of Mr, Pcrez's ''impartiallty."
 In the event that Perez is again elected sheriff of the county, the people will have to seek the pardon of the Yuma conyicts, in order that he may again have his corps of il- lustrious deputies.
 What sensible people want such a man for sheriff, his pledges to make Americans his deputies not

FAIR WARNING.

Beware of illegal voting Every precinct in the couGty will be close ly watched on election day, and any one who attempts t8 gote, if not legally entitled to deposit 2 ballet, will do so at his peril. Just as sure as there is honesty in grand iuries and virtue in the courts, illegal voting will not pass unpunished in this county, There are names on the great register which have been placed there by fraud, and those names are known. Such frauds will not be tolerated, and those Fraudulent names will te lhe sub ject of judicial Investigation here after. If any registering officer has placed upon the great register names of illegal voters, he should look well 10 his own safety and see shat those names are Lot y4ted. Citizens of New Mexico, will not be allowed to vote here even, if they are registered in Apache county. \ word 10 the wise. ought to be suf- fcient.

SOME of the voters of Apache county may not like Mir. Bauta. the Democratic candidate for District Attorney. It is not necessary for the HERALD, which las always been for and with the people, to state that some objection could berai>ei against any candidate upon either tichct-none are perfect. What the people want is 2 District Attorney who is honcst-a man who is intel ligent and straightforward. 1 man who is not eoaccited-but a man whose moral integrity is sufficient to save the county from destruction and condemnation, and beng sold out and plundercd.
 Ii the voters are interested in the welfare of the county: il they pre- fer honesty and integrity to lgno- rance and conceit.

DEATH has all seasons for its own" says the poet, and we are all liable to die at any time, and after death the judgment. There is not much pleasure in contemplating final dissolution, especially to the unrcgencratc, like some on the Re publican ticket, but there would be a consolation to many who have families in this county to know that when the summons came, if they had any property, John T. Le- sueur, as Probate Judge, would see that the last fdoIlar reached their wife anG~~chtldren. What man would be atraid to trust his estate in the hands of Lesueur, whose public and private life is untarnish- ed even by suspicion. On the other hand, who could die with any de gree of satisfaction, if he knew that his estate, however small, would be manipulated by Tom Bunch, the discharged clerk of the Board of SUp ,rvisOrS.

Probate Judge-Lesacur CT Bunch!

Probate Judge-LeSaeur CT BunChl
 On the 9th of November the peo- pie of Apache county will answer the above question by saying, 'Le- sueur, by aIl means" Why? Be cause they will remember Bunch's unfortunate, unexplained and fatal connection with the mutilated rec ords of the county. Because Bunch retired from St. Johns and his off cial position under q cloud, which he has never, and we believe, will never, clear up. Because Bunch, in open District Court, permitted to go unanswered and unrebuked, tie public charge of Sheriff Owens, that lie, Bunch, was guilty of the unpyo- fessionat conduct of yp;riting away a witness in the Bleyins case in or der 10 avoid trial, Becausc, when the question of party lines was first discussed at a meeting of Demo- crats, during the last term of court, at St. Johns, Bunch went into that caucus-made the first speech openly advocated the mOVe-DrO- claimed his allegiance to the party, and his readiness to stand or fall, by the standard of the Democratic party-thcn coqucttcd with the Democratic convention for a place on its ticket, and when hc discover ed that he. and his record, were toe heavy for the party, bartcred his bi"thright for q mess of pottage, aid went over body and soul 10 the People s- Republican ticket. Be- cause when the statement was made in open Democratic convention that Bunch was no Democrat, Ae being present, permitted il to go unde- nied. Because Bunch is neither Democrat, Republican, Nugmump, bat simply a Great Big Nothing. Because Bunch iA the convention hall, in the presence of Brown, Johnston, Reed, and the writer, all Democratic delegates, proclaimed with much cM.phasjs and evident sincerity, that jLere was no better man in thc county than John T. Lcsuour, and none @o well qualified to be Supervisor.
 Because Losuour is in every sense well qualified for the position. Be cause he has a clean and clear rec ord as Treasurer. Because, in every walk of life he has been weighed in the balance and not found wanting. Because lie is consistent and out spoken Democrat, But he is 8 Normon Yes, he is a }Iormon- we are q presbyterian-you are a Baptist, and you q Catholic, and yet two years ago. We, tie people, jews, gcn,iies and aGrost;cs, met to- gether in solemn convention, and we nominated and clacte5 tEis man to tAc position of Treasurer, and he has proven worthy. It is too late now to cry Normon It is a boom crang to you iucUbators of the pao- pIc's ticket, for in that convention you participated, and unless you proved fouIly recrcant to your ob- Iigations, you aided III the election of J.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Press requested the editor of that paper
to state what condition the last Demo-
cratic administration left the finances of
the country in. The editor answers the
inquiry by quoting from a speech Of
D. Kelley made in congress several
years ago. Mr.. Kelley said:
The government itself was without
means and without credit. Toward the
close of the year 1860 it advertised for a
loan of $5,OOO,OO0. Forty bids were
made. Four were made at different
rates by the Farmers Bank of Lancas-
tel, Pa, q bank at the home of the pres
ident Of the United States, and which
was in suspension, but while it would
not redeem a dollar of its paper, pro-
.posed to lend the government $4,000
at the modest rate of 8, 81, Q and 10
per cent interest in gold. No foreign
house or institution showed It's willing
ness to invest any capital IN the loan Of
the United States III that prosperous
year. 1860, and tho rate of interest at
which offers were made ranged from z
per cent in gold to . per cent.
These ore facts from the official rec
ord and show a remarkable contrast
with the condition of the country when
the Republicans went out of power.

haye secured, shows that they would
not hesitate to throttle this little affair.
It is my opinion that Dakota will
never be admitted until the good people
Of the northern states, in the dominant
party, are aroused to q sense of the fact
that the southern end Of their party are
outraging the rights Of your people, as
they did in the Kansas and Nebraska
troubles. simply to keep the power Of
government in their own hands. And
until tho issue is fairly made upon the
floor Of the house and charged upon
them by your press, etc, that the first
Democratic administration is found re-
enacting the old Kansas tactics of fore
ing in or keeping out, which ever would
continue it in power, and which led to
the war Of the rebellion, you can have
no hopes, I fear.

question in the following terse language
I am Of the opinion that as the electoral
vote Of Dakota would be a factor in the

that will admit Dakota as one state,
much less to divide and admit as two.
