Will Ryan, of Lincoln county, returned yesterday morning from Santa Fe, where he has been watching legislative proceed ings for some days past. At he left from the trrin it was noticeble that his usual smile had given away to an ashes and charcoal expigssion.miied with demc.'ratic chagrin. Being put to the torture, he con fessed that the investigating committees were working nobly, but they were liable to get into a hornets nest before lorg. Mr. Ryan's indignation was extreme in explain nig the injustice of the committees. "Why," said he, "there's Jimmy Dolan, from our county, he's going around Santa Fe with a face at long at the crape on a brass door knob. They say that he got 2G3 totes by promising to adopt as many poor Mexican children, and now he is try ing to devise soma meant to avoid bis con tracts. Why, the man's actually getting I liia thinking what his family will say lo him about his 2G3 adopted kids, when he Koes home. "There's Frank Lsnet, who was elected by Indians. You know Johnny Rii.;y ani Major Llewellyn speak the Apache lan guage with the greatest fluency, nnd it is now openly asserted that together íícv worked the Indian reservation for Lesnet. Riley went over uud told tho terra colla colored swipes at manhood that their old agent's Indian name was Llewellyn but that in English it was William Henry I! unison anil the real grandson of 1) r,j i min. Then he gave tln:iu too sehool boy version of Tippecanoe, Yieenne? and the Black Hawk wars and the fact that the major had onco been the great white chief at Washington himself, and he made the dusky devils b'elievi it nil. The question then rose as to how to vote 'em nnd just here the pseudo grandfather displayed his fine Italian hand and the votos were ca:.l by proxy nil over Doña Ana county. "Now 1 don't say this is true, but such grave charges should ut least be refuted. "I'm not the loiist bit surprised at Rdey being at Santa, Fe, for unless this legisla ture reliare him he is a ruined man. Were il not for the kindly feeling I bayo for his friends and family 1 should cliarac terizo his conduct as infamous. He went over into the LaLuz and T.ihrosa count ry Juring the cau);iign, and he met half a dozen poor devils who were tired of the monotony of the so-called bachi loi ic free dom, and damned if he didn't promise each of them a wife for his vote and he ;;ot 't in too; now he is up at Sinta Fe try ing lo secure the passage of a bill lo re lieve him of a contract which in horor he -honl.i pel form and be couip'.llod to com ply wilh. "They say that in the event of Tom Cat ron's nppoiiilment us governor, Mr. lioss ill in turn be appointed warden of the penitentiary, but of that I am not certain. Mr. Catron is more in love with himself and Ihe world than he ever was belore in bis lift ; be weais a (umuiur smile on the coldest day anil he says he never knew what happiness was until he began to keep hotel you know he is running the Capi tol with Biliy Jiurtou's chop houso for an annex. "But it is really shameful, the mnuiKT in which they are conducting things over there, Eight or ten members called upon me the other evening at my room and 1 judged from their manner that they didn't think I onghtto be there -just because, T was a democrat, I suppose. I saw one member of the vigilance conin.ittée stoop down near my door, and when 1 went np to him he had a slick of wjod in his hand. He was a good friend of mine, but the party lath had been appliel an 1 bo was thero lo mob me." And the Lincoln man escaped, Itrother iu Itlark. Two or three years ago a negro boy on my place near Franklin, Kentucky, w.is tormented with an apparently incur iblu case of scrofula, which lasted him a long limeandgavehimgre.it trouble.

Albuquerque Citizen: Nearly all the boys in town can swear in two languages, and yet there are people who have the au dacity to say that New Mexico is not ca pable of self government. Miss Alice Desbrow of El Faso, while nut riding near Las Cruces, lost her way on the greut mesa and was out all night, alone and nearly frozen. Toward morn ing she tied her horse and laid down on the ground, where she slept till late next morning, wLen she was rescued by parties sei.t in search nf her.
