The Fee system.

Some of our exchanges are advocating
the abolition of the fee system for the
compensation of the officers in the terri
tory. 1t has long been maxim of law
never to change an established rule, unless
the substitute is better than the law in
force. Human laws are never perfect,
and any change that could be devised,
would have defects. In this territory, a
system of salaries would have serious do
fects in this respect-a salary, that would
be adequate compensation in county
sparsely settled, like San Juan or Guada-
lupe, would be insufficient in Bernalillo or
San Miguel. The fees, provided by the
present law, were intended to be Il just
compensation for the services rendered.
We can not call to mind, now, single fee
that is exorbitant. Should a change be
made in the law, and salaries be provided
for the officers, they would necessarily
have to be graded. Take, for instance,
the office of sheriff. salary would have
to be provided for each deputy. as well
as the sheriff-the number of deputies
would, Of course, be regulated by the
sheriff, and it would offer more oppor-
tunities for fraud than by the present
system, and so on with the other offices,
The only change that we can think of,
that would be beneficial would be to
create the office of collector of taxes in
counties having population of more
than 100eJ or 10000 Several of the
eastern states have such provisions in
Their statutes, and they give entire salts
faction. This matter will doubtless be
brought up in the. legislature, and, while
they are on the subject, we would serious
ly recommend them to provide salary for
the county commissioners, that will be. in
some measure, commensurate with their
services. One hundred dollars per year

Admiral Stanton Reports His Arrival to
the Navy Department..
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Admiral STAN
ton, late in command of the United
States squadron in the Brazilian
waters, has made known his return to
the navy department. Considering the
rather peculiar status of the admiral,
who was relieved from his command
because of his recognition of Mello,
the rebellious brazilian naval COM
mander, it might be supposed that he
would avail himself of the opportunity
afforded by his communication to say
something in the nature of an explana-
ton. But as a matter of fact the ad-
miral's letters, Of which there are two,
are models of brevity. so short indeed
as to convey, perhaps, sense of
wounded dignity. In his first letter
the admiral reports his arrival at New
York in conformity with the require
ments of the naval regulation; in the
second he simply states his address in
New London.
Technically the officer is on waiting
orders, and probably he will remain at
his home in New London until he re-
ceives further orders from the secre-
tary of the navy.

RUNS THE GAUNTLET.

Admiral MeIlo Forces . Passage Past
tho Forts Guarding Rio Janeiro HnrbOrs
and the Aquidaban II Now ON tho High
Seas. Probably In Quest Of the Nictheroy
and the America.
LONDON, Dec. "A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Co. from Rio
Janeiro states that the insurgent adj
mirel, Mello, has finally succeeded in
forcing passage past the forts guard
ing the entrance of the bay of Rio
Janeiro and that his flag ship, the
Aquidaban, is now on the high seas
The passage was not effected until
some desperate fighting had been done
The entrance is guarded by Fort
Sac Joao and water battery on the
strip of land extending northeast from
the sugar loaf. Fort Lage, Fort Santa
Cruz and Fort Pico.
Advices from another source state
that when the Aquida ban was seen APP
preaching the forts heavy fire was
directed against her. She replied
brislxly and the fight was kept up un-
til she ran past the forts and was out
of range It was seen that some OF
the shots from the forts took effect,
and it is believed the Aquidaban sus-
tanned considerable damage.
The government forces, particularly
the troops manning the water battery,
suffered severely from the effects of
the rapid-fre guns on board the war
ship. Considerable damage is said to
have been done to the forts by the big
guns of the Aquidaban. which appear
to have been well served. The govern
ment forces generally suffered severe
ly.
After the Aquidaban was out OF
range she stood away for the south. It
is conjectured at Rio de Janeiro that
she will effect repairs as rapidly as
possible at sea and then cruise in the
vicinity of Cape Struro to intercept the
Nictheroy and America, the improvised
war ships now on their way from New
York to reinforce President Peixoto.
In the house of commons last even.
ing a member said he had heard a re-
port that President Peixoto had been
assassinated and asked if the govern
ment had any such information.
Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary Sec
rotary of the foreign Office, replied
that the government had received no
word concerning any attempt on
Peixoto's life.
