THE SUPREME COURT SESSIONS

Last January the three new judges Of
the territorial supreme court met for the
first time in session at the capital. A
number OF very important cases We're
argued and submitted A great many
cases were taken under advisement, and
only ten cases were decided at that ses-
sion. The court adjourned to meet at
Santa Fe on the second Monday in June,
for the purpose of handing down opinions
prepared by the judges, to whom the
cases had been assigned. Among the
cases so taken under advisement were
the Coler bond case from Santa Fe, in
volving very large sum of money, and
the two cases from Albuquerque involv-
ing the right of the territory to tax the
national banks in New Mexico under the
present revenue law. 1t was understood
that not only these, but several other
important cases were to be decided at the
June term.
On the day set for the meeting, Mon
day last, Chief Justice O'Brien and Judge
Lee only were present, and adjourned
court until the next day. During the
afternoon OF that day letter was re-
ceived from Judge McFie, stating that
the very serious illness OF his child would
prevent his coming until later day, but
no word was had from Judge Whiteman,
nor could the most diligent inquiry ascer-
tain his whereabouts.
District court being in session, Judge
Lee returned to Albuquerque Monday
night, and Judge O'Brien adjourned court
on Tuesday. Yesterday Judge McFie ar
rived not knowing of the change of pro-
gram and his child being better. But up
to this writing nothing has been heard
from Judge Whiteman.
In all LIKELIHOOD there can now be no
meeting of the court till the next January
term. BY that time doubtless some
changes in the personnel Of the court will
have obtained, and many cases will have
to be argued over again at much expense
OF time and money. There will be con-
siderable delay and hardship to litigants.
Judge Whiteman ought to have been at
hand. If he was unable to be then and
there present, he so ought to have in
formed his colleagues on the bench and the
court might have been adjourned to some
day in the near future, and cases in which
decisions have already been prepared
might have been decided and then taken
off the docket. Through the chicanery of
ex-Chief Justice Long last February, the
proposed meeting Of the court at that
time came to naught. This time Judge
Whiteman seems to be at fault. More
comment seems unnecessary, except that
the public interests demand speedy SEES.
sion of the court and the adjudication Of
the important cases before 1t. The New
MEXICAN hopes that the judges will be
able to hold session at an early day and
before the regular session next January.

THERE will be no factions in the Re-
publican party this coming election, al
though our friends, the enemy, fatter
themselves that there will be. The proof
Of the pudding is in the eating, and the
result Of the coming elections will show
that the New MEXICAN is correct.

IT is very good policy to keep all politi
cal pledges, and the Republican party Of.
New Mexico proposes to redeem its
pledges in the future just as it redeemed
its pledges in the past. An honest and
economical government was pledged by
the Republicans last campaign, and al
honest and efficient territorial government
now exists. Whatever the Republican
party promises, it carries out.

THE PEN1TENTIARY INVESTIGATION.

In another column We give the full re-
port made by the majority of the board Of
managers of the New Mexico peniten-
tiarv, as the result of their investigation
made into alleged misconduct Of certain
officers connected with that institution
1t shows that careful and patient ex-
animation has been had, and the report
was only made after all means of obtain
ing information upon the subject was ex-
hausted. The testimony was formally
closed on the goth day OF May, after five
DAYS OF earnest work, from that time up
to yesterday nothing more had been
brought to their attention, though the ex-
convicts, Griffin, Davis, Sanders Tor
PRICE, and Stevens, have been at large
and have had every opportunity to bring
other witnesses, had they desired, or had
it existed. The auditor, Hon. Trinidad
Alarid, one OF the members of the board,
was at his own request excused from TAX
ing part in the investigation, which was
conducted by the other members of the
board, against whom even the most par
tisan person or paper can not truthfully
bring any charge Of Partially, bias or
unfarness. They are both known to be
gentlemen of honor and integrity, who
could not be influenced in their opinions
by any outside influences, and
their report bears upon it's face
the imprint OF an honest inves.
tigation, and a true verdict from
the testimony before them. 1t states that
certain rules OF the peAitentiary had not
been lived up as they ought; that while
the charges made 30 freely by convicts

What they "KnoW."

Tie carpet-bag "settler" ot Apashe county, Mr. Morrison, who was he father of the anti-Mormon plank in the Republican Territorial platform, has succeeded in bring ing into territorial politics his per- sonal spleen. The equality of all men before the law, is one of the fundamental principles of republi- can government. It is imbeded in the constitution. No favoritism, no monopolistic priveleges are allow ed. All men are equal before the law; all have the same rights and priveleges, and none of these rights and privileges can be taken away except by due process of law. The discretion, opinion, whim or ca price of executive or ministerial officers, or even a state statute, is not due process of law. This Is shown in the decisions of the Su- preme Court, that state laws eX- cluding colored persons from the l jury box, are unconstitutional Life, liberty and property are alike secured, for life without liberty, under tae law, and life and liberty together, without property, are worthless. Property includes trade or business, and the right to engage in it, on the same terms as all other men, without any discrimination in favor or against any person. No state can deny to any person with in it's jurisdiction the equal protec- ton of the laws. Protection means benefit O. advantage, in which all persons are equal, so long as they do not violate the life, liberty or property of others. This is one of the greatest blessings of free gov ernment, secured by written con stitution, which is plainly express ed and inviolable, and which can not be ba.tered or legislated away. -Phenix Gazette.

Communication.

EDS. SILVER BELT :-B Being the complaining witness against the four Indians suspected of the mur- der of Ed. Baker, and having ac- companied Sheriff Thompson to Fort Apache for the purpose of identifying them, I deemed 1t but right to expose the ungentlemanly conduct of Lieutenant Johnson, in charge of the White Mountain h. dians, toward us.
 While we were at Fort Apache, endeavoring to have the command ing officer, Col. Hunt, send for the Indians for whom we had warrants, Lieut.. Johnson evidently was averse to the execution of the warrants, and during a conversation in refer- ence to the matter he discredited my statement that the Indians for whom we had warrants were the murderers of Baker, and during that conversation, he called me liar, although had neither said nor done anything to provoke such an assault.
 Being in the post and knowing that should I resent the insult, the consequences might be serious to me, regardless of the right in the case, l was constrained to take no further notice of the remark than to tell him the reason I did not re- sent it, that if at any other place re- moved from the protection of the military, I would certainly have called him to account,
 We were denied an escort; con- seQuently, for our own safety, we were necessarily obliged to take our departure from the fort, with one of the alleged offenders in GUS tody, at II 30 at night, and made a forced ride until we reached San Carlos, a distance, as I am inform ed, of ninety miles.

The people are getting tired of oficious intermeddling with the freedom of thought and belief, from persons who would rule the minds and bodies of others in the name of religion. And while there is so much said by Protestants against Catholic rule, there is one thing very certain, that while all religions are tolerated in this country, the people would not submit to the gov ernmenl of any one of the Protest ant denominations sooner than to the Catholics. We are free people, to think and believe at will, with out dictation from any ecclesiastic- al source whatever. Our Govern ment says, "Think and believe for yourselves, but hands off in relig- ious matters. Judge Barlow.

A writer in the North China Her aid of Shanghai asserts that the eli mate of Asia is growing colder, and it's tropical animals are slowly re- treating southward. In proof of this he quotes evidences, historical and referential, of the former exis- tence of elephants, tigers, and leop- ards in China. Tigers and leop- ards are, however, not yet extinct in China, and are common enough in Corea. The bamboo, it is said formerly grew naturally in parts of the country where it now has to be taken care of.

Getting Colder in Asia.

A recent writer in the North Chi na Herald, of Shanghai, says that the climate of Asia is becoming colder than it formerly was, and its tropical animals and plants are re treating southward at slow rate. This is true in China, and it is also the case in western Asia.
 The elephant, in a wild state, was hunted in the eighth century, B. c. by Tiglath Pieleser, the king of As syria, near Carchemish, which lay near the Euphrates in Syria. Four or five centuries before this Thoth- mes III, king of Egypt, hunted the same animal near Aleppo. In high antiquity the elephant rhinoceros were known to the Chinese they had names for them, and their tusks and horns were valued. In the time of Confucius elephants were in use for the army on the Yangtze river. A hundred and if ty years after this Mencius speaks of the tiger, the leopard. the rhi- noceros and the elephant as having been in many parts of the empire, driven away from the neighbor- hood of the Chinese inhabitants by the founders of the Chou dynasty Tigers and leopards are not yet, by any means, extinct in China. The elephant and rhinoceros are again spoken of in the first century of our era. If to these particulars re- garding elephants be added the re- treat from the rivers of South Chi na of the ferocious alIigators that formerly infested them, the change in the fauna of China certainly seems to show that the climate is much jess favorable for tropical an imals than 1t formerly was. In fact, it appears to have become drier and colder.

Here is the way the Denver Times puts it: Governor Lewis Wolaey of Arizona has been asked to resign. The reason given is that he seemed to imagine himself to be secretary of the interior, as far, at least, as Arizona was concerned. He as- sumed to dictate to the secretary what he should do in dealing with Arizona matters. The official with an exaggerated idea of the extent of his authority is generally apt to get into trouble.

The rain, reported to us by MT. Bonnard, in Dripping Spring Val ley, a few days since, was phenom- inally great. Grifith's ranch was greatly damaged orchards covered by sand and rock, cellars filled with water and property therein totally destroyed, or greatly damaged. This precipition was doubtless one of the heaviest in so short time ever known, but such occurrences are not uncommon in arid regions. Rain is the most capricious of all the meteorological phenomena. The quantity which have been re- corded at some places, to have fall en at one time, are truly enormous. The following are few of most re- markable that we have any know ledge of: At Joyense, in France, SLY inches fell in 9 hours; at Geneva 30inches in 26 hours; on the hills above Bombay 24 inches in one night, and on the Khasia Hills, 30 inches on each of five successive days, or total of 15O inches within that brief space of time.-Silver Belt.

The First Wedding.

| AN EVENT THAT OCCURRED ON THE 1sT
 OF JUNE " THE YEAR 1.
 What a morning that was of the worlds first wedding says Rev. Dr. Talmage, in the Ladies HomeJour- nal. Sky without a cloud. Atmos- phere without chill. Foliage without a crumpled leaf. Meadows without a thorn. It shall be i'll church--the great temple of the world. sky-domed, mountain pillar ed, sapphire-roofed. The sparkling waters of Gihon and the Hiddekel will make the fount of the temple. Larks, robbins and goldfnches will chant the wedding march. Violet, lily and rose burning incense in the morning sun. Luxuriant vines sweeping their long trails through the forrest aisle-upholstery of 6 spring morning. Wild beasts stand ing outside the circle looking on, like family servants from the back door gazing upon the nuptials he eagle, king of birds; the locust, king of insects; the lion king of beasts, waiting. Carpet of grass like emerald for the human pair to walk on. Hum of excitement as there always is before a ceremony. Grass blades and leaves whispering and the birds a-chatter, each one to his mate. Hush, all the clouds. Hush, all the birds. Hush the waters, for the King of the human race advances, and his bride. Per feet man leading to the alter a per feet woman. God, her father, gives away the bride and angels are wit nesses, and tears of morning dews stand in the blue eyes of the violets. And Adam takes the round hand that has never been worn with work or stung with pain into his own stout grasp and says: "This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh" Tumults of joy break forth and all the trees of the wood clap their hands, and all the gal leries of the forrest sound with carol and chirp and chant, and the circle of Edenic happiness is com plete, for while every quail hath an swering quail, and every fish hath answering fish, and every fowl an swering fowl, and every beast of the forest a fit companion, at last man, the immortal, has for mate woman, the immortal.

Stanley's GrCciaR Girl.

connected with Stanley's residence in Omaha along in the 70's.
 Some time in the year 1878 Stan ley returned from the scene of the many Indian fights along the Ne vada frontier, where he had done excellent work as the correspon- dent of the New York Herald. He had acquired quite reputation as a correspondent, as he was possess ed of a regular daredevil disposi- tion and dld not hesitate to take any chance to get his news and get his report to his paper ahead ofthe other correspondents, and he usu- ally succeeded in leading them. When the Indian war was over Stanley returned to Omaha, and devoted his time to spending the money he had received for his work in the field. When this was gone he made his headquarters in the republican office, sleeping on the bundles of paper. and boarding at the saloons where free lunches were set out. He made a practice of hanging around the office about 4 o'clock in the morning, when the printers finished their work, and "holding them up" for his break fast. He was a Bohemian of the first magnitude. The colOred DOT ter who worked around the build ing remonstrated with Major Bal combe number of times for not firing Stanley out. He claimed that the latter came into the press room drunk, and slept on the paper, throwing lighted cigars and match es among the waste paper and en- dangering the entire establishment.
 This sort of thing continued un- til the war in Europe broke out, and Stanley was sent to that coun- try to "do" the war for the New York Herald. Nothing further was heard of him for about a year, when Major Balcombe received a letter from the Grecian consul in New York, stating that Henry NJ. Stan ley, an American, had engaged himself in marriage to a Grecian lady of rank, and the lady's parents were desirous of learning how Mir. Stanley stood in his own country. The letter also stated that Mr.Stan- ley had given the lady's friends a number of names of parties in America to whom they might apply for information. Among these names was that of Major Balcombe, and the consul requested informa- ton from the major as to Mir. Stan ley's social standing, wealth, con nections, etc.
 q was so completelydumbfound- ed," said Major Balcombe, "at the unparalleled exhibition of cheek on the part of Stanley in referring to me for recommendations that l did not make any reply to the let ter. l had no desire to injure him in any way, and I did not want to commit myself by lying about him. I learned afterwards that the mar riage did not take place. Wheth- CT all his references did as l did, or whether some of them told the truth about him, I am unable to say.
 Stanley had a penchant for fall ing in love-" continued the major. "When he was boarding at the Re- publican office he became infatuat- ed with an actress named Annie Wood, who was playing in the var iety theatre which stood where the Peoples theatre now is. Stanley got into a TOW over her with Mac Donough, or Little Mac as he was called. Stanley carried a black eye for some time as remainder of the event. The girl afterwards married another man and moved away from Omaha.

An Infamous Plank.

The Tombstone ProspectOr, a Republican paper, has the following article:
 "The anti-Mormon plank of the Republican platform is one of the most lying, infamous connections of words ever put into sentences. No gathering of men ever met to- gether and gave vent to their feel ing8 against the murderous Apaches in more venomous terms than are couched in the language against the Mormons. And yet what pleas ure it is to see a party hide it's light under bushel. If man trans- gresses the laws the law reaches him. If the Mormons are trans gresslng the laws of the land, why are they not accorded the same courtesy as an accused thief or mur- derer and allowed to prove their in nocence of any crime against the rules of society? Are the men who voted for this clause in an other wise clean platform as willing to have their records barred to the pub lie gaze as the men are whom they accuse of being outlaws? Mormon ism, Catholicism and Protestant ism may have their faults in the eyes of an opposition party. The Czar of Russia, in the explusion of the Jews from that country, is gull ty of no more un-American spirit than that shown by a society of Americans who will accept the money of Mormon with one hand, while he stabs him with the other" "
 Every man should be respected, who, in the advocacy of his views, political or otherwise, advances good arguments to sustain his ground, but he, who has only abuse and scurrilous epithets with which to carry his points should not be countenanced as authority on any subject. The principles of good government are based upon the teachings of good men in all the history of the world, These prin- ciples have always been for right, justice and equality. They are as solid as the foundations of the uni verse, and the man or woman who has no more need of the use of abusive words than in the defense of q belief in mothers love.
