BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

The Board of Equalization of this county, after eight days session, ad- journed on last Monday till August 26, when they will meet to hear any re- monstrance from those whose property returned has been raised. The board raised the total on the assessment roll about S150. 0.000, and as much of this ad- ditional amount is on increased values, the major portion of it will stick. The total amount of taxable property in thls county, after final adjustment by the board, will be in the neighborhood of $1. .050,0O0. Apache county is to be congratulated upon havin just now. competent and careful board of super yisors, the members of which went to work fearlessly, and did better work of adjusting the burdens of taxation in fair and equitable manner than was ever before attempted.

GOVERNOR McCORD.

Colonel M. H. McCord was confirmed as governor of this territory, on last the 17th inst, by the United States senate in executive session. The final vote on his confirmation was 3o to l7. Governor McCord, who has been in Washington for some weeks, is now on bis way home to assume the duties of the position. Thus ends a long, ,--..-- - F---ro r.l e -.t>t vvHint7 was credit to those alleged polite laas who opp0sed the Confirmation ot Governor 11cCcrc Le is l. be hoped for tho credit of the territory, that these individuals will have enough sense to take their medicine and keep quiet during the time Colonel McCord will serve the people of .thie territory in the capacity of it's chief magistrate, He has one thing to be congratulated upon, however. as . result of the oppo- sition to his appointment and confirm . ation. The fight being so long and bit ter, every day of his life, and every act in his public and private life, seems to have been reviewed by hls enemies, and everything was used upon which to base charge or found an accusation. As they all utterly failed, Governor
 McCord is now in position to plead
 res judicata to any possible charges
 that the affidavit men may in future
 bring against him. We believe that
 the hopes of the friends of Governor
 McCord that he will give the territory
 a good, clean, honest. business-like ad
 ministration of affairs. will be more than realized.
