sembly and will have it in the hands
of the printer by next week. The vol
ume will be issued some time next

Representative Seferino Crollot, OF
Bernalillo County, did valuable ser
vice for the people during the Assem-
bly,. He is intelligent and a fluent
speaker in both the English and Span
ish languages, which desirable qualifi-
cations came in well during the ses-
sion. Mr.. Crollot has no need to be
ashamed of his record.
Councilman J. Leahy has gained an
enviable reputation as successful leg
islator, he having introduced large
number of very good measures and
having them passed. There is nothing
like success. Mr.. Leahy did not do
much talking on the floor, but his work
counted and that for the good of the
people and of his constituents.
Among the members of the House of
Representatives who did very good
work for the people and their consti
tuents may justly be named Represent
ative H. H. Howard, of SocOrro Coun-
ty. Mr.. Howard was active in doing
good and effective work in the pas
sage of many good measures which
have become law during the present
session.
Councilman Martinez has proven
himself careful and hard working
member. He commanded the respect
and good will of his colleagues and
was the introducer of a number of mer-
itorious measures which have become
law. Despite the seedlings of the AL
buquerque Journal he believes that
the libel law which he introduced is
beneficial and good
Representative F. l.. Wight, who
served as chairman of the House judi
ciary committee, has proven himself
a strong man as the head of that i'm
portant body. He did his work con.
scientiously and effectively. It is un-
derstood that Mr.. Wight will be can
didate for the position Of receiver of
the U. s. Land Office at Clayton at the
expiration of the commission of the
present incumbent, Receiver A. w.
Thompson. He has secured, while
here, quite a strong Endorsement and
will make an active fight for the ap-
pointment.
Of the 1873 bills passed by both
Houses, 1874 have become law, one hav-
ing been vetoed by Governor Otero and
three others having gone to the board
by pocket veto last night. The three
that died last night were Council Bill
