For (lit past year our Demo
cratie friend have hud (lie reign of
territniial and national government
in their own hands; that tlicy will
not hold the territorial reign after
licit November, i a conclusion In
which we are all ready to concur.
Thi. however, depend on what
kind of a man tho Republican party
of XewMenieo put forward at the next
'flection. If tho Republicans arc o
foolish a to put forward any of the
La Crures gentlemen, we w ill agnin
be doomed to defeat. What the
Republican party of New Mexico
iineds, are men w1tn have no partic
ular axes to grind in fuvor of any
clique or clan. We want square,
conciontuoii Republican who will
not bolt a. republican convention
just because the othj fellow happen
' to got the nominal iou. We fear the
creating of local untie on local and
mercenary question will be introduc
ed for the purpose of weakening our
rank, but if the Republican party
are wine, they will promptly ait down
mi any scheme of thin kind. This ij
the only point on w hich the Democ
racy cn "down u" and we ap-j

not believe in traustmsing or ruodi

believo in fostering our own interest,

after. To bar out all other news

because you happen to have the field,
is on a parallel with tho idea of bar

hierni county ha now all the stock
she can comfortably feed, and we
are not in fuvor of having any more
come in, but one year ago, we worked
to have Sietra county settled up,
and we don't go back of tho bush to
ay so.
Hicrra county is now pretty well
e tiled, and we arobocjiung Grant
county, in point of taxable wealth,
will sink into insignificance when
compared w illi Sierra for 1880.

Tho following ungrateful ami untrue
remark, we clip'l'roin tho l.as Vegas
Optic:

llillshoro, in Sierra county, lmsjuwt
received a f;eh mount from the
Kovernment, all of the old horses
having been exhausted standing
around doing nothing. Last spring,
shortly after the Apaches were on
the war path. Captain Fechet, who
arose from tho ranks and never saw
West l'oinl, exhibited extraordinary
f uergy in his effort to come up
with tho liostiles, and altliotigh he
did not succeed, ho wui so mantf ally
ill earnest that tho people in tirant
and Hierra counties mado him a dis
tinguished exception in their dis
paraging talk about army officer in
general. Hut the captain suddenly
let down in his efforis and for many
mouths past Inland bis troop have
done nothing but loaf around llills
horo in 'nclorious caseand inm-tivity.
They are freshly mounted, but it
may well be doubted if they have
earned it."
The above remarks evince a spirit
of lecklessncs and disregard for
truth which arc as sweeping and
presumptuous as they are untrue.
Captain Fcchet is now lying at the
point of death, but wo know of our
own personal kuowledgo that before
be took sick hardly a duy passed
that lie was not seuding out troop
lo investigate some fictitious rumor
jibout Indians, and to say (hat the
Cnptain ho lit t used every exertion
in b: prayer cntc'i t Ti r Indian
would be a downiigbt fubiication.

to tho silver men, our business cent

The House committee on military
affairs, by a vote of ix to one. passed
favorably on Laird's bill for raising
a volunteer cavalry regiment in
Arizona, and New Mexico. Said bill
places tho militia on equal footing
with tho regulars, and enables them
to inako domain! upon regimental
quartermasters to supply any de
ficiency which may exist in horsns
for said militia. It further provides
Unit each officer and boldicr shall be
fin dished with two ponies. Trans
purlation by means of pack trains as
well as government wagon is to be
supplied. This is its it should be,
and !. ad the proposition been curried
out years ago, hundreds of valuable
lives had been spared, and hundreds
of thousands of dollais in property
had been saved to swell tho wealth
of tho country. Wo trust the bill
may becomo a law.

Hillsborough is continually improv
ing. .Machinery is arriving continually
ami it would not be surprising if the
town did not double its present popu
lation in six months. We commend
the good judgment of the town trust
ees in putting the prices of lots within
reach of all. Good resilience lots can
be bought for from $10 to fit). The
latter amount will buy agood lot con
venient to the business part of the
town, and now ia the time to buv.
Hillsborough, it will be remembered,
not a inusliroon town. It ha seen
its day of fictitious spasmodic boom,
and is now the permanent couuty seat
of the most prosperous new county in
New Mexico. A tho couuty grows, so
grow Hillsborough. No county in
new Mexico can hold a candle compared i
with Siena in point of mineral wealth,
v e are producers and not consumers.
We aro not dependent on the cold
charities of a soulless r.iilroad com
pany or companies for existance. Rig
gold and silver dollars to the amount
of hundred of thousands of dollars
per mouth are dug out of the bowels of
Sierra county. Mo county between
the Mississippi riv r and the I'aeitie
ocean in thel'nited States of America,
has, or is, for its age, producing as
much gold and silver as Sierra county.
These are big assertions, but they are
nevertheless trim, and Hillsborough is
situated right in the heart of this
kind of a couuty, and don't you never ,
forget it.
