Las Cruces, Dec. 29.--The holidays
have passed off quietly, with but few
social events, confined to limited circles,
to break the unusual monotony. But, on
Monday evening nexta bal masque will
be given in Cuniffe's hall. This promises
to be the event of the season, as many of
our citizens have united in efforts to in
sure it's success.
Vice President Hadley, Of the Albu-
querque university, spent day of this
week in the valley.
The pastor, recently assigned to the
Methodist church south, arrived in time
to occupy his pulpit last Sunday, morn
ing and evening. The new pastor is a
young man of pleasing address, who will
soon win his way to the hearts of his
congregation. He now has charge of the
church in which j. A. Lowe, of aromatic
odor, once exhorted-the same Lowe who
held down chair in the Agricultural col
ledge, under the Prince board of regents,
in the time of Hadley.
The county commissioners assembled on
the afternoon of the 9th to close up usi
ness before them for this year. Among
other things accomplished the board
issued certificate of election to Hon. G.
W. Miles, gracefully mentioned by the
Albuquerque Citizen as "a pedagogue
from Grant county"
OF course, the "editor company will
weep, wall and tear its clothes over this
"further evidence of Democratic fraud
and viciousness."
Rumor (possibly at the suggestion of
Mrs. Partington) has it that Col. Foun-
tain will superintend the organization of
the next legislature, in the interests of
his son, who was defeated by Hon. Pinto
Pine.
It is rumored also that an appropria-
ton will be asked for the sustenance of a
ranger force IN this territory. Such a
force, properly officered and composed of
men who would not connive at the escape
of murderer or thief, could do good
work in the protection of life and prop
erty.
Mr. A. l.. Christy thinks failure to seat
him in the house of representatives will
be followed speedily by the, destruction
/ of the Democratic party. 49,
| But, to man up a tree, it is question
able whether the legislature can see its
way to seat q man indicted for embezZle-
ment and who is still under bonds.
The mill at the Sunol mine is running
day and night on ores from the Ben
Nevis. Other properties at and near the
gold camp are idle for the present, but
will reopen in full vigor SO soon as neces-
sary Improvements arc made.
Governor Thornton, Judge Fall, U. S.
Marshal Hall and all others of Mr. Cleve-
lands appointees, who have incurred the
enmity of Catron and his henchmen have
good cause to congratulate themselves on
the accomplishment of great and good
, work. For no higher or more unequiyo-
cal testimonial to capability, honest ill.,
tegrity and singeness of purpose can be
adduced than the persistent, malignant at
t6cks made upon these officials by the AL
buquerque Citizen and its co-agents IN
infamy, the Santa Fe Republican, and the
"editor company"-the latter located
here.
These predictions are made: When this
procession, headed by Tom Hughes and
tailed by the "Elder," reaches the bound
ary of the internal regions that old Ger
berus, faithful for life time, will, with
head bowed down and tail between his
legs, abandon his trust; and, that the
boss of the Hades' ranch will sell his
brand, range delivery, for an invaluable
consideration; and, having dismantled
his furnaces, destroyed his branding irons
and consumed all his sulphur, he will va
cate the premises satisfied there is not
room even in Tertarus for both sanity
Satan and pharisee hypocrites
As occasion may require, you will hear
moro of these ghouls who glory in lying
about the living, polluting the graves of
the dead, and in having despoiled Belize
bub and his cohorts of all his peculiar
prerogatives. Lux.
