RICHARD CROKER THOS. C. T. GRAIN.
The Mayor decided to appoint Il city cham
berlaln, and to appoint some one entirely
upon his own responsibility, without consult
ing any one. So he chose his secretary, a
man 80 years of age, and with no more ex
pcctaton OF succeeding TO such nh Office than
to Jay Gould's estate.
Formerly the city chamberlain Of New
York, who has charge of the city's funds,
was not obliged to account for any interest,
and tho Office could be made to pay him some
two or three hundred thousand dollars year.
But all that is changed nov and there is
fixed salary Of $25, 600 year, out Of which the
chamberlain must pay his office outfit and
clerk hire SO that he may realize about SlS,-
coo. Mr.. Grain will therefore during his adj
mnistratiou probably be able to lay up a
trlle for rany day, When the mayor in
formed his secretary that he had appointed
him city chamberlain the secretary laughed,
thinking that Mr.. Grant was joking. When
hc discovered that he was in earnest he hesi-
tated to take the office, but finally decided to
accept. The appointment of so young man
to so important an office has occasioned Il
great deal Of comment.
Richard Croker, Mr. Grains predecessor,
has been Tammany's "boss' for some years.
His reason for rcsgning the office was ill
ness, and he has gone to Carlsbad, Germany.

the savants whom Bonaparte had taken i'll
his train on the expedition to Egypt, was to

that ho was a traveller of note, whose last

Demon was ut first delighted by the accuracy
and discrimination Of the compliments which
Nine. dc Tallcyrand paid him, but she soon
gave such feelings pause by saying: "And

must have been to you!' Talleyrand had

and at reasonable rates. Much Of the job
printing now going out OF town should
come to the New MEXICAN Office. There
in no better excuse for sending out OF

The Reapportionment Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Discussing the
possibility OF the passage of reapportion-
ment act by the present congress, the
New York Herald correspondent says:
The Republican managers are prepar-
ing some work with which to fill in time
on the house side that will hang heavy
ON their hands if the Democrats of the
senate carry out their threat to prolong
tie session indefinitely. "A bill is in con-
temptation making a new apportionment
under the new census. Assurances are
given at the census Office that the approx
mate tables of population can be ready
August l, and that the official count can
be declared by August Is. From the calcu-
lation already made it is expected that the
population will not vary much from Ca
100000. Those having the apportion-
ment scheme in hand will proceed upon
the basis of about 100000, which will give
house of representatives of about the
same strength as the present body. Thus
far the figuring on this new measure
brings out gain of about fifteen mem
bers, most of them being in the western
and northwestern Republican states.
The new members for the next house
will all be elected at large, and thus the
charges Of gerrymandering will not affect
any of them. The change Of fifteen mem
bers It is believed by the projectors of this
scheme, means the control of the next
house by the Republicans. If congress
is in session when the official count of
the census is declared an apportionment
bill will be Immediately reported. AS
pertinent to an an apportionment bill it
is in contemplation to attach some legis-
lation in regard to gerrymandering, and
the main features of the McComas bill
will form the basis upon which the sec
tions relating to this branch of the sub
ject will be framed.

is possibility that the entire line will
be open to traffic from Dallas to Durango
by the end of the year, At least | 900
of the men employed thereon are from
northern New Mexico points They earn
~ per day. J. w Conway is now gath
ering another band of workmen, and will
send out 100 more in few days.
This road when completed will work a
revolution in the western San Juan coun-
try. 1t will open up part which now
has no rail connection and the develop
ment of which is consequently slow. The
two leading mining camps OF the western
part OF the San Juan country are Telluride
and Rico. They have long been known
to be good camps, but their development
has proceeded slowly because of the ex-
pense of taking supplies in and the great
cost of shipping ore out. This will be
changed within few months by the
opening of the railroad.
Another good effect OF this railroad will
come from bringing the western part of
the counties of San Miguel and Dolores,
and also the Montezuma valley, into rail
connection with the rest of the state. 1t
is well known that the Montezuna valley
contains fine body Of agricultural land.
1t can be irrigated, and it will soon he
turned into one of the most prosperous
communities.
Since W. b. Strong has been chosen as
the official head of the Durango-Algodones
railroad, it won't be very long before cen
tral New Mexico has an outlet to the
northwest that will tap the region where
so much industrial life now exists.

In conversation Senator Teller said it

on both sides.

GOOD CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT.
The congressional campaign committee
mas requested Mr.. Townsend, OF Colo
rado, to have his speech OF last Saturday,
favoring the conference report on the
silver bill, printed for distribution by the
committee for campaign purposes. The
speech was brief, but it had the merit Of
laying the defeat of free coinage at the
doors of the Democrats. He said the
Democrats stood solidly for free coinage
as long as they could worry the speaker,
but when they reached the vital point at
issue enough of them deserted to cause
the loss of free coinage.
This point had not been made by the
others, and the congressional committee
think it should be given general circula-
ton.

viii Retire.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE New York
Sun prints this in its Washington gos-
sip;
"Senator Sherman has decided to re-
turn to private life at the expiration of
his present term, March 8, 1893. The
successful management Of the silver bill.
by which he was enabled to bring the
gold and silver men together to the sup
port of the bill which became a law to-
day, is regarded by himself and his
friends as the crowning act of his career
1t is probably the last service he will
render to his party.
"Senator Sherman has, within the past
day or two, made known his determina-
ton to several of his Republican friends,
who have urged him to reconsider it. The
senator says, however, that he has made
up his mind to put the turmoil of political
life behind him and he will not alter
his decision to take up his residence at
hisl home in Mansfield, Ohio, in 1893
and spend the remainder of his days in
peace and quiet.
"He will not be candidate for presi-
dent again and will no accept a reelection
to the senate. He is now "a years Of age
and he has been in public life continuous
ly for more than forty years and thinks
he has earned rest"
Senator Sherman's secretary says he
knows nothing about the matter, and he
neither denies or confirms it.

1t is not probable that Col. NJ. P. Small,
now on duty at New York city, will be
shifted.
The proceedings OF the court martial in
the cases of the four army officers recently
tried at Tucson, A. T., on charge OF
fraud in connection with the hire of quar-
ters, have been received at the war de-
partinent, and are now being reviewed by
the acting judge advocate general.
The cases Of Major Kimball and Capt.
Miltimore are now in shape for the action
of the commanding general. The cases
of Majori Wham and Towar have Just
been received, and there is little doubt
that the two last named have been ac-
quilted. Major Kimball, it is intimated,
received reprimand and Capt. Miltimore
something more serious, but whether or
not it is dismissal can not now be learned.
