the next meeting. Col. j. G. Albright
and Col. Z. F. Moore were each contest
ing for the representatives. place from
the grand old county of Valencia. The
third house took the matter in hand and
promptly seated Col. Moore. Col. AL
bright waved, amid shouts Of en-
thusissm, a batch of protests against
such action. He was informed, however,
that his proper course was to file his OBJ
jections at the sscretary's Office where
they would be read with interest when
there was leisure.
On account of the unwarrantable treat
ment of Mr.. Ortiz and Col. Albright, a
number of members rose in their seats,

blocked.
