Cosby Notes Gathered Here and There
About the Capital.

| The collector of the county Of Santa Re
is the one Official who publishes regular
monthly statements OF the receipts and
disbursements of his office. On the first
of every month all taxes collected, less
| his lawful commissions, are promptly
plid over to the territorial, county and
city traasurers. The collector is G. Nj.
Conklin. This practice might with great
propriety and benefit be adopted by all
other counties in New Mexico. In fact
law should be passed providing for such
paving over and for the monthly publlca'
ton of statement showing receipts and
disbursements OF the several collectors OF
fees. The collectors statements are made
and published in accordance with an
order passed by the present board OF
county commissioners OF Santa Fe
county.
Governor Prince is very anxious that
New Mexico should be represented at the
, trans Mississippi congress which meets at
New Orleans on the 23d. AS lar as has
been learned none oil the delegates named
in New Mexico are preparing to attend.
The governor thinks it is especially deslr-
able and important that this representa-
tive body Of western men give some ex-
preston favorng the repeal OF the alien
act so far as it concerns the investment OF
money in mining property, and it is now
quite probable that the governor himself
will 90 to New Orleans. If it is possible
for him to make the trip he will leave to-
morrow night and be absent at least ten
days.
Secretary Noble rendered decision in
the case of Atlantic & Pacific Railroad
company vs.. Chavez, on application by

proceedings to the department, and re-
fusal by the commissioner to allow an APP
peal from his decision, holding the Cha
vez entry for cancellation, but denying
the railroad company's claim to tract in
Santa Fe, n. NJ. land district. The secre-
tary held that IS the railroad company had
no right to the land it is not party in inter
est. The application is therefore denied.
