pointmeDt as district attorney for the
counties of Colfax and Taos there is con-

and Hon. Frank Springer.
Hon. Juan Santistevan, ember OF the
council from Taos county, is careful,
palnstaking, methodical and honest. The
interests OF his county and of the territory
are being well looked after by him.
The New MExIcAN's good friend, Mr..
Felix Martinez, thinks that about two
hundred thousand dollars worth of the
1867 militia warrants are legal, however
let the investigation proceed anyhow.
A house caucus was held Immediately
after adjournment this morning. Subject
discussed, number and pay of extra EN-.
ployes. This is very sore subject
with the democratic members of the
house.

legislative matters and good parliament
tartan, is making very good record in

holds certificates of election from two
boards OF county commissioners.

vanced and liberal education.
The amount of militia warrants out.
standing so far is $537,O of this
sum about four hundred thousand
dollars are held in the territory and the

Mr.. Karl A. Snyder, of Albuquerque,
whose name has been mentioned in con-
nection with the appointment as attorney
for the second district, informs the New |
MEXICAN that he is not a candidate for

joys a good practice and holds very re-
sponsible position in the law department |
of the A. & P. railroad and would find no
time to attend to the district ATTORNEYS
office.
Judge Walker in speaking to Hon. John
RI. Young, of Taos, last evening advised
the latter to bring contest against the
sitting member from Taos county and if
it was shown that Mr.. Young who had
just been unseated had a majority of
votes, he, Walker, would vote for him and
