A AN on HIsTORY.

The trial of the impeachment
Of Andrew johnson in 1868 was
the most exciting political event
in tho history of the United
States.
The official record proves that
it was IN a large sense a partisan
trial. Three-fourths of the senate
and four-ffths of the house of rep
resentatives were republicans and
every interrogatory propounded
TO the witnesses in the examina-
ton was denied or permitted an
swer according as the answer
might make for or against the
President, who was a democrat.
The substance of the charges
against Mr.. Johnson was set out
in the first article of impeachment
violation Of the Tenure of Office
Actin his removal of Mr.. Stan
ton as secretary of war. Messrs.
Sherman aud Howe, republican
senators from Ohio and Wisconsin,
proved, in able and conclusive ar
guments, hat there was no foun-
dation for that charge, as the sec
retaries appointed by Mr.. Lincoln
and not recommissioned by Mr.
johnson, but still acting as such,
were not within the Tenure Of
Office Act, and therefore not pro-
tected by it, being especially ex-
cepted in terms by that Act. Mr..
Sherman and Mr.. Howe voted for
impeachment on the Second and
Eleventh Articles, which were
practically n repetition of and

than to continue belonging to
Spain, to live TRANQUILITY under the
national Hag, and to endeavor to
bring about all the reforms which
may be necessary for the we'll
being of the country. The United
States have, in my opinion, great
interest in whatever situation the
affairs Of Cuba may find themsel-
yes IN. II Is to their interest that
the island should be prosperous,
because in that way the CONNER
cial relations between them will
become wider and more fruitful.
The number Of American impor-
tations will increase more than
those of any other country, owing
to the proximity of the United
States and Cuba to each other, and
the cordial relations which have
existed between them so long

Mayor of Havana.

The 18th Of October viii probably
witness the greatest gathering Of people
in Santa Fe that was ever congrogated
10 the Territory. Bishop Chopelle Will
be invested by Cardinal Gibbons with
bis royal insignia Of Office which was
sent to him by the Pope. The immense
Cathedral will be seated as closely as
possible andto prevent too great q jam,
tickets will be required TO gain admis-
sion. They will cost from go 10 81. At
night a great banquet and reception
will be given the Archbishop by the cit
liens Of Santa Fe at the Palace Hotel.
All railroads in the Territory will carry
passengers at one cent a mile. The Oft
liens OF Santa Fe will do all IN their
power 20 entertain visitors from the Ter
ritory.
On the 18th OF October the u. s. court
Of Private Land Claims will commence
ito fall session. A number Of important
land grant titles will be settled. This
court is doing a great work for New
Mexico, and our former delegate, Anto-
MO Joseph, deserves great credit for
having It established. Considerable iD-
terest attaches to the motion before the
supreme court Of the Territory 10 debar
Catron and Spies from practice. The
evidence is said TO be very strong against
them, but for the credit Of the Territory
it is to be hoped that the charges are
not true.
By a decision OF the solicitor general,
J. p. Victory, over $500 Of the money
drawn from the Silver City Normal
School fund has been restored 10 it.
This money was in the Albuquerque
broken bank and was appropriated by
the last legislature to support the courts
OF the Territory.
Mr.. Victory is gaining an enviable
reputation for his correct and just deci-
sions of law and justice. Governor
Thornton deserves credit for appointing
him.
Peralta Reavis, who tried to cheat
Arizona and New Mexico out u a large
part Of their faireSt lands, still anguish
es in Jail,
Work on u new capitol will soon
commence in earnest. The stone in the
old building which was burned, will be
used to build the walls OF the new one.
The gold mines Of south Santa Fe
county are just now attracting consid-
cradle attention, but there will probably
as usual, be more money spent in de
veloping them than will be taken from
them.

based largely on the First Article,
and so their detection on the First
Article was overlooked and con-
doned, and that article was aban-
doned and never put to vote. The
failure to put that Article 10 vote
was practically an abandonment
of the impeachment scheme by
the republican majority, and con-
tributed materially to its final de-
feat.
Every ipducement 10 force con-
viction, through appeals to parti-
san passion and through bribery
and intimidation, was resorted to.
Even a conspiracy to kidnap a
senator, who refused to commit
himself for impeachment and thus
create a vacancy and the appoint
ment of a successor who could be
depended upon to sustain the inn
parchment, was resorted to, and
its execution attempted.
The impeachment scheme BODIED
disasters of which the general
public knew nothing. The domi-
nant party was wild with hatred
of Mr.. johnson, and blind to the
possible consequences Of success
full impeachment upon insufficient
and improper charges. 1t would
have transformed our political
system; made congress the domi-
nant power in government, by rel
egating the Presidency to a sub
ordinate position, thus destroying
the condition of coordination be-
tween the three great departments
of the Government, and created in
it's stead a congressional autoc-
racy. That would have been the
beginning of the Great Republic
as the fathers created it.
This very important event in
the political history of the United
States will be extensively and in,
diligently treated through a book
which has been compiled by ex.
Governor Ross and will soon be il
press.

THE M CUBA.

THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
The most recent information in
my possession shows that the in
surrectionary movement makes no
progress and that as soon as the
rainy season is over the govern
ment will increase its efforts to
bring it to a speedy termination.
The country at large is fully re-
solved to withhold support from a
movement which must lead to ruin.
Many make a mistake in believing
that this instruction is similar in
character to the last outbreak in
Cuba. According to the judg-
ment of intelligent men there
were causes which justified the
previous conflict, and many of the
principal citizens took an active
part in it, believing themselves SO
powerful hat they refused the
concessions offered to them by the
then provisional government of
Spain. That war was more hui
name. Entire towns took the
field with the insurrectionists, but
to no avail. The disappointment
experienced by its principal lead
ers proved to them the u~selessness
of such an undertaking, unless, in
deed, they wished to convert the
island into a scene of discord and
racial war. From the result of
that struggle thinking men and
lovers of the country learned that
the only hope for the wellbeing OF
Cuba was to remain under the
Spanish flag and so to obtain all
the liberties enjoyed by countries
organized under modern laws
Their efforts were being surely
although slowly, crowned with
success, for under the sway of po.
%litical order they were acquiring
all the rights which belonged t.
them, and further attempts were
being made, with all prospect o.
favorable result, for the establish.
ment of administrative and eco
nomical reforms, the people of the
island having direct control o.
affairs.
The idea of independence, which
without a doubt, has been very
grateful to the majority of the ma
tive-born, experience in the pre-
vious outbreak proved TO be futile
Little encouragement can be de
rived by those who cherish thii
hope from the examples Of the re.
publics of South and Contra
America, which have already be.
come emancipated. None of then
has been able, owing to the Divers
elements of their populations, Il
organize a nation under the form
they originally pictured TO them
selves.
Annexation to the UniteC
States, about which many dream
more so out Of the country thar
within it's an absolute impossi
I bility. The greater majority o
the Cubans do not wish it, becausI
they realize that, should it be pu
into effect their indiyidualitl
: would disappear in a short time
| The most thoughtful men Of thI
island, to whom l have ALREADY
referred, see no other solution

EXERCISED
We'll. yes, ''somewhat.' .

ell yes
The New Mexican, last Saturday,
IN an article headed Somewhat
Exercised" offers further insult
to the citizens Of Pinos Altos by
characterizing the indignation
meeting recently held there anent
the Communication of the sentence
of Murderer Davis as IAN ALLEGED
mass meeting Of the people of
Pinos Altos" The New Mexican
declined to print the resolutions
adopted at that meeting because,
It states, that it does mot believe
that the Governor has committed
an objectionable offense" in CON-
muting the sentence Of Davis.
That paper attempts to justify the
action of the Governor upon the
himsy ground that Davis was a
good and peaceable citizen, and
that during the years be has been
confined at the penitentiary he has
conducted himself well, and in q
manner to indicate that he fully
feels the weight of the punish
ment his crime has brought upon
him." Such clap-trapl such edi-
torial rotl Why go to the ex-
pense of hunting down and con.
victlng criminals if they are to be
given their freedom by the Cover
nor Just because he believes they
feel "the weight of the punish
ment2" Because a murderer has
conducted himself we'll" in the
penitentiary should he be pardon
ed or his sentence so commuted
that "the weight of his punish
ment' might rest more lightly
upon his guilty shoulders? After
deliberately shooting a defense
less man down in cold blood
should the assassin be liberated
by the Governor because he was
"a good citizen" before he com.
mitted the terrible crime?
What does it matter, if true, al
the New Mexican alleges, "tha.
Governor Thornton's list of par
dons and combinations compares
fayorably with that made by any
of his predecessors?" Does tina
fact compensate for the error h,
has committed in the Davis case
1t is not sufficient that Governo
Thornton's list of pardons ant
combinations should compare ia
vorably with that of his predeces
sors; he should improve his OF
portunity and make a record TO
! himself. Because his predecef
t sors may have been weak it doe
not follow that he should not b
strong. Because his predecessor
r have subverted the law throug
: the undue exercise of official Glen
7 ency it does lessen the obligation

it follow that his official blundel

or Thornton, but when it is force

PROBABLY no County in the Ter
ritory contributed less to the sue
cess of the Territorial fair than
did Grant, and considering that
this County is more abundant in
resources than any other in this
Territory, it seems a pity that we
should be so deficient in enter
prise.

SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING

Copyrighted by Charles Austin Bates.)
A Washington piano house is
just now using considerable space
in the local papers to advertise a
voting contest. The most popular
school teacher in Washington is
to be presented with a free trip to
Europe, lasting thirty days. The
ticket to cover all transportation
charges, hotel bills, carriage drives
etc. from Washington to Europe
and back again.
This may be a very good scheme
but 1 doubt it. It is hardly what
J. would call legitimate advertis-
ing. A trip to Europe and the
most popular school teacher have
nothing on earth to do with the
desirability of the pianos. 1t will
be talked about, more or less, and
in 80 much, is advertising, but /
doubt very much if it will result
In any very great good. I would
very much rather take the money
that this trip costs and use it in
straight newspaper advertising.
Advertising, properly consider
ed, and in its strongest sense, is
merely telling people what and
where and GEOGRAPHICALLY why
they should buy some particular
thing. Advertising isn't good un-
less it accomplishes this, and con-
vinces a greater or less number Of
people that the advertiser and the
thing advertised are. just exactly
what they have been looking for.
A trip to Europe doesn't prove
anything. It has nothing what.
ever to do with the piano business
and anybody, from a butcher up
might use it with equal propri,
