THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21,-1867
ME Buffalo Commercial, which had the
misfortune of turning .over to the Radical
side just at the wrong time; endeavors to ex
plain the defeat of its party in :Nov York
upon the following hypothesis: "It was the
result of a loosening of the 'strong cohesion
of patriotism in the prese.nceof national &Mi.
ger; a reversion of popular thought and ac
tion from the necessary Unanimity of war, 16
the requirements Of peace." Thinking that
this is not as clear us it might- be, we will
endeavor to pat the' Commercial's argument
in plainer language : "It was the eventuation
of the cathartic etilict of the great hypothe
neuse of the rhomboid, knoekedendways. by
the concatenation of events falling upon the
perpendicular of the , egccient of the Repub
lican platform." Our readers will perceive
that the explanation is perfectly lucid and
eatisihetory. •
Mits. LINCOLN'S PoWERTY.—The question
in regard to 'Mrs. Lincoln's circumstances has
been at length satisfactorily disposed of
On Thuriday of la.st week, llon. David Da
vis, of - the 'Supreme Court, Mr. Lincoln's ex
ecutor, made a final settlement of the estate
at Springfield, 111. After paying all debts,
Mr. Davis reports
,the sum of tlO `207 re
maining; to be distributed among the heirs.
Of this amount Mrs. Lincoln receive one
third, $36,70.5.30, and Robert T. Lincoln and
'Thomas Lincoln,a
the two surviving sons,
each the same amount. The tlebWof Mr.
LincOln, as filed in the County Clerk's office,
amount to :%k,38.31. The position of Mrs. Lin
coln, after this disclosure, is anything but
honorable. Thirty-seven thousrmd dollars is
a large sum in the eyes of most people, and
it is certainirodd that Mrs. Lincoln should
have made such piteous complaints of her
poverty with the knowledge of that amount
being due to her. The public have a very
different opinion of the Lincoln funny now
from what they had during the war.
TUE FORT DEL.I.W.A.RE FRA.UO
' Our readers will remember that a -couple
weeks . ago we - ETllblished a letter from the
commanding officer at Fort Delaware, near
Philadelphia, showing that the agent ap
pointed hr Gov. Cleary to take the vott.s of
the Pennsylvania soltlic , rsi fin the Fort, bad
committed a gross and criminal fraud. -The
Philadelphia Age has since given the matter
a thrlitglfinvestigation, and last Week pub
lished several columns of official documents,
signed. and sworn to by officers of, every
grade in the Fort, exposing the scheme
in , its features. The following facts
s
It
o clearly, proved that no Republican
journal in Philadelphia has dared -to excuse,
much less deny, them : Four persons only,
three of them minors, and not one of them a
resident in Pennsylvania, voted in company
L The fabricated returns reinvented that
.sixty persona voted: The poll book sets out
the names of these sixty voters. Fifty-four
of these aiIITIWS are fictliious. Twenty-eight
-persons (only six of then enlisted In Penn
sylvania) : voted in company K. The fabrica
ted returns represent that sixty-three persons
voted, fifty-four of which arc fictitious. It
thus appears that only 32 soldiers voted in all,
of whom but six-had ever been citizens of
Pennsylvania. while GOY. Geary's agent re
ported 12:1, all in favor of -the Radical ticket,
The return of the fraudulent votes was duly
accepted by the Radical majo.rity of election
officers in Philadelphia, and counted by the
, Secretary of the Commonwealth in making
up his State table, and by Governor Geary in
his proclamation of the result. If deducted,
as it 'should be, from the total vote of the
State, Judge Sharswood's majority would be
about 1100.
TILE LARGE CITIES ON THE SIDE OP
' A RESTORED UNION.
One of the features of the late elections
deserving of especial attention, is the signifi
cant manner iri which Radicalism hits been
rebuked in the . .geat business centres of the
country. Last year the city of Boston gave
a large Radical majority; this year it gave
Joint Quincy Adams, the Democratic candi
date for Governor; a majority of fifteen hun
dred votes, New York city, always true to
the principles of the Constitution, has in
creased her heady Democratic majority of .
- 64W:by about fourteen thousand. In Phila
delphia the reaction was still more remark
able, the, heavy Radical- preponderance of
front six to ten thousand during the war, be
iog changed this year to a Democratic excess
of from three to four thousand. Baltimore
shows a very large Conservative gain, even
over its ordinary overwhelming Democratic
majority, Similarresults are seen in the votes
of Brooklyn, Albany, Pittsburgh, Buffalo,
Troy, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Chic:igo,
• These are not chance results. The cities
we have instanced are the great business cen
tresl ofd le North; in them dwell the solid
litlyn" (.4 the nation ; their population repre
sents probably one-half the wealth of the
Northern States; their verdict is too plain to
be- anisinterpreted, The. business men of
Amerk!a, those who keep in motion the blood
11f the nation and without whose energy we
would stagnate, have conic tofully realize the
trutit'that a longer continuance of the Radi
cal party in power will be followed by the
'most disastrous conse l quences to the material
interests of the whole c r in n try.
i
P.FPECT DEMOCRATIC VICTO-
MM
Ever since the D6mocruts began the victo
btsineAs therirhas been a cteady decline
in prices, which is so contrary to all the
predictions made by Radical prophets before
I.ltelectiotis that they stand amazed at the
folly of their assertions. At the clothing
houses in New York city suits arc sold, good
and bad, almost as cheap as they were five
years ago ; and in every business street piles
.of dry goods are ticketed front 50 to 100 per
cent, below the prices asked for the same
goods in ISGS. Calicoes at 12 1-2 cents a
yard ; muslins 10 to 18 cents ; 'delaines at
18 3-4 Cenis; dress goods from 25 to 50 cents,
and all kinds of costlier. fabrics at prices that
Indicate a heavy loss to some One. The de
cline is severely felt by importers, jobbers
and agents, and some of them are out of
pocket to the tune of Irio,ooo to V 50,000 by
it; but it is very advantageous to the work
ing classes, thr it . enables them to make a
idollar go as far in dress as twti went last
Year, Groceries and rents are still high, but
with these exceptions it is much cheailer liv
ing everywhere than it lets been for tlirecor
four years. Judging by the number of houses
going Ill), there ought, also, to be a sharp de
cline in rents very soon. If the Democrats
continue the victory business next fall, we
expect to see prices very near the old stand
ard in a year or two. It may be hard on the
speculators, bat as they are limit of grinding
other people, it is only fair that their own
faces shOuld feel a touch of the stone.

“THE PULPIT'S bi'PO/Vr UNr/erg”
Among conetlerate imen the Orb?* has
long been current - that the' greatestolintaele
in the path ofireligiotk,in opr country, for
the past si* otten seats; has been the nause
ous practice of political preaching. The
person must he little versed in practical ex
perience who cannot see that it has been the
pnalitletause pf infidelity not only outside
./af the ,elturela..but 11.5 ,pale,;, pot Aals,
in the pews but in the pulpits.! At. first it
was a curious novelty,' and pastors found
their congregations increased l perhaps, a
hundred fold.. Men- flocked to t the political
churches 11.5 they went to the opera, the thea
tre, or the circus, to he excited and amused.
They could applaud and - they could laugh
there at every smart political hl, freely and
without rebuke. It was religion made easy,
and, like virtue made easy, there was very
little of it left when you came trylook for it .
We are satisfied 'that the majority of these
pastors who have mixed politics with their
theology, in the proportion, of nine to one,
for some years back, have done it against
their hetter•judgmen't. They have yielded
to the fashion of the times,to the example of
powerful and suecessful preachers, to the
real and supposed irresistable current of
feeling in their eongreptions. We have al
ways held them, as a class, tci be above the
sordid aims of politicians. They haVe not
preached politics for money, nor for vulgar
applause; but because they had not sufficient
moral strength to resist the tremendous pres
sure which was brought to hear upon them
by church conventions and assemblies, and
hy active and influential occupants of the
pews. In some instances the pressure from
the pews was not real, but imaginary. The
pastor, observing the tendency in other
churches, sought to anticipate it in his own,
and with unnecessary precipitation, put him
self at the•head of his flock and led it into •
polities. Satiety in the congregation soon
followed excess in the preacher. The outside
attendance fell, Off; ninny of the pew-holders
who had liked the thing while it was new,
got sick ()fit last, and these preachers finally
found themselves in the condition of men,
Nvlio, having take» a false Position, feel com
pelled out of regard to consistency,,to main
lain it at all hazzards. In this resolve they
have been encouraged and sustainedby small
but active knots of politicians, who give'the
tone to many of our churches. There are
clergymen we could name who have seen
their flocks scattered beyond
and their churches sold and turned into
places of amusement before they would con
sent to retrace their steps to religion pure
and undefiled. , t
We have referred to this subject before,
and now return to it, because the„preseut
seems an appropriate time for a concerted
movement on the part of the true friends of
the, church for rooting the practice out ofour
system of religious worship. The political
reaction, of whigh we see the signs all-around
us, is no less - a protest against* political
preaching than against the numerous other
fallacies of Radicalism. The feeling facets
all classes of society, in all their relations.
We believe that; if a show of hands were
called for in the churches next Sunday, a
majority, of votes would he found in favor of
exchtiling polities front the. pulpit front' this
day on forever, let what circumstances mar
come up in the career of the nation. Pastors
would be surprised to discover how cheer
fully their people would now follow their
leader out of the miry paths of politics back
to the ancient trodden ways. They must, by
this time, be satisfied that it is impossible to
get out of radical politics by going to the end
[of it—for it has no end. The possible
crotchets of the Radical mind are infinite.
Political preachers never can say that . their
work is done, and lay off their harness. "Ex
celsior!" is still the eryond aln aye will be,
of the frantic agitators who occupy the Vail
of Radical movements, They care nothing
for the church, except as,it aids them in their
dangerous ventures. While they use it they
despise it. This fitct is made very clear in
the last number of Wendell Phillips organ,
which says,:"Clturches and the elerity
as formerly, for the most part but make
weights or a positive drag where they should
be foremost in leading the nation in the light
of immutable, ftindamenntl Christian princi
ples through its present diflieult and dan
gerous pass." This is the gratitiule which
the political clergy receive from those who
have sdught to dictate their style of- preaCh
ing for a number of years. How mitelt long
er will ministers of the Go•;)pel submit to
these hardest task-masters
GRANT.IANA,
The papers continue to 'be fall of para
gtaphs about Gen. Grant, his acts, sayings
and opinions. As in the Past, each writer
claims Mai to endorse the particular views
whicli.he himself holds, and. the much moot
ed question of his political sttlniling remains
in as niuch mystery as c% er. The Washing
ion correspondent of the Boston Post says:
" The debt between the friends of Judge
•Chnqe aiul those of Gen. Grant, which has as
its foundation the rich efpfme Made by your
correspondent, is Intensifying. The Genere
refuses to speak a word of consolation
to Forney and his little clique, and the
friends or Chase consider that Grant has
damaged his own cause Judge Kelley, of
Philadelphia, bas written a letter, in which
lie says that Grant will not carry a State un
less the platform he stands on will recognize
manhood suffrage."
The same writer states that the General
was told last week - by Colonel Morphis, of
Galveston, that his people wanted to run hits
for President, and asked him what he should
say to them? Ile replied, 'Nothing: Another
tzentlmmtn, an intimate friend of The General,
liken ise had an interview, and in replying to
the remark that both parties seemed deter
mined to run him, the General said: `I have
everything I wish—T want nothing but to be
let alone."
It is further stated that Postmaster General
Randall twitted Gen. Grant, the 'other day, -
about Wade's complaint of his silence—that
he (Grant) could talk nothing but "horse."
Grant replied that he usually talked About
matters that he understood, adding'. "And I
knoW more, about horses than Wade does
about polities—for he has shown himself in
that way to be the d—dent fool in America."
Our readers can tielieve as much of these,
and all other storki about Grnt that the pa
per; give currency to, as they seeproper. We
think nine-tenths of them are ••tirade out of
the whole cloth," fin mere sensational pur
poses.
AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT.
The Washington. correspondent of the
Philadelphia Pre;s, under date of November
I Ith, 'sends the following, interesting state-
EIME
There is an unmistakable tendency
among public men now in Washington thor
°midi' to revisemot only out system of taxa
tion, but the. whole system of loans and cur
rency. Little dimbt is entertained that the
national banks will he
_relieved of tha great
power of making- their own notes, so that
they will child:or only the United States
currency • nor can it be denied that the pay
ment of the ohole publie debt in gronbacks,
eept trhere the honor if the Gocernmenf is ex
plicitly pledgrd to pay in gnbi is gaining in fa
=,u'. The liquidation of the bonds shortly
due, at the option of the tiovernMent, is
varne.tly adrocalea; and also the consolida
tion of the whole national debt, so its to - give
it the solitlity'and permanency of the English
s.
securitie"
The source frtim which the above is copied
gives it more than ordinary Significance. Tike
leaders of the Rtuliati party have a peculiar
faculty of inouhling'llfe popular current, and
we have oodoubt that Forney has thrown out
these suggestions at their Instance to test the
tone of public sympathy. 'Unless something
is done to revive the nationnl'prosperity,
nothing is more certain than that the Radi
cals will be ove ,- whelmingly defeated next
year. To save themselves, they will adopt
the policy . Of paying off the bonds in green
backs, or any other that gifes promise -of
temporary advantage.

Radical rule within the coming year, and it
will be impossible, with all their hardihood
of action and defiance of the Constitution,
foi the extremists' to negroize all the Southern
States, so that some of them will undoubted

Though it will take some time to reform the.

OLA TILAD.'S "LAST `JOKE.
The Wa:shington correspondents inform us
that Thad. Stevens has under consideration
the advisability of dividing the State of Tex
as into.two or more States, and line ;announc
ed his intention of-introducing a bill for that
purpose daring the coming session. On Sat
urday he was for a long time engaged in col
lecting information , respecting the'popuhr
lion, condition and interests of the different
sections of the State, and requested a Texan
editor to furnish hint with all the information
obtainable bearing upon the question. The
Buffalo Courier well remarks that "if great
Thaddeus has settled it in his mind that Tex
as must -be divided, Of course there is no
more to he'said about if. He, and his party,
have kept the country divided for nearly
three years, and the partition of a State will
be a small job in comparison." Of course
the clause in the Constitution prohibitingthe
division of a , State without the consent of its
people, makes no difference, even though
- Thaddeus and his fellow Congressmen have
all taken a solemn oath to support that in-
StrUlllent.
GENERAL 141tCLELLAN.
General McClellan; who had intended tit
return to this country in th 6 steamer Scotia,
has been compelled by private business of
imporMnce to abandon that intention. After
reaching Limtions on his way here be was re
called to Paris, where he now is. Not only
in France, but in Switzerland, in Germany,
in Italy, in short, in every country which he
has - visited during his prolonged foreign tour,
Gen. McClellan has been received with an
intelligent and respebtial consideration which
should gratify not only his many personal
and , politival friends, but nil right-minded and
'patriotic Americans. Enlightened f o reigners
feel what domestic partisans are hut too apt
to forget that the fame of a gifted and de
voted soldier is part and parcel of his coun
try's truest wealth, and in honoring him hon
or the great-cause itt :which he drew his
sword and the people whom he so loyally
served.
Tilt: New York Tribune copies and en
dorses a declaration of (;en. Sherman that be ,
"has no fear that the scenes of our hard
struggle will ever be repeated, or that the
rebels, defeated in battle,anay, ' in the burly
burly of time and polities, regain their lost
calls,- mid * their lost pride.' Itistory, he Te-'
minds us, rarely goes backward. The great
moral revolution which resulted in the de
struction of slavery can never lie reversed."
We solicit ihe attention of that large class of
tender-hearted people who are continually
announcing their fears
,that the rebels will
regain their infltience in the Govertintent if
the Demoentey conic into power, to these
significant admissions on the part Of.
their leading organ. The Tribune itself
will, in all likelihood, take the back track on
them about election time next year, lint the
fact that they are made at this period; when
no immediate political object is to be effected,
shows what its real opinions are.
It cosrs more for the people of the North
to sustain the present military rule in the
South, than it cost the whole country to sus
tain the administration of James Iluehanan.
The military and bureau goiemments in the
South are supported almost wliolly by the
North. Of the $277,000,000 of revenue drawn
from the people in 18.63, but $19,050,000 was
paid by the South, and the ten expelled States
will pay far less this year than last. • The ex
tra cost to the people of the North of carry
ing out the Radical plan Of, converting the
South into a negro despotism, is now about
equal to. $00,000,000 annually, over and
aboVe all income from the States being thus
reduced.
. .
TIM N. Y. Times. which supported Presi
dent Johnson's ; policy as long as it thought it
was•popular, and then deserted it to become
the most Radical of the Radicals, presents
the following picture of the race to whom its
party has consigned the destinies of the
Smithcru States.
"The great mass of them (negroes) have
been kept -in .the most stolid ignorance all
their lives ; they can neither read nor write;
they have heard nothing, of politics and know
nothing of the - simplest filets of our history
or government ; they have neither the capaci
ty to form opinions nor tho material to form
them from ; and as a matter of necessity, as
well as of fact, they will be and are simply
tools in the bands of party leaders and wire
puileri on the one side or the other,"
LtnEttm. Rimunucxxs.—The National
Intelligencer, in acknowledging the inde
-pentlett and patriotic actions of the liberal
Republicans in the late elections, predicts
"that before the present great controversy is
closed, the bitterest foes the Radicals
have - to contend with will he found in the
Repbblican ranks. Misled as much by,the
force of party discipline, as by soecious ap
'peals to passions, inflamed by the deadly
strifes of war, the great, high spirit of patri
otism of the Republican party will rise up in
the very majety of its power to condemn
the whole scheme of reconstruction, which
is exclusive negro government."

'lt is not so very long since thelpopalarery
in political contests used to be "measures,
not men." 'Mr. Andrew Johnson was nomi
nated for Vice-President of the United States
in are/inhume with the false principle em
bodied in that cry. The disfistnins resnit of
the experiment seems to be driving some of
am friends to the opposite extreme; and,
with the equally dangerous watchword of
"men, not - measures," they are bent upon
intritsting our national destinic4) a general
of whose political principles nothing what
ev,w is known; and confiding the Most deli ;
cate Tune' ions of statesmanship to a man who
has thus Mr shown himself only as a resolute
and successful soldier. - We have been 'at
some paini to collect all the aCcessible evi
dence as to General Grant's- opinions on the
great questions which divide }he country,
and the 'decision of which must shape -41 w
good or for ill our course during the next
Presidential term. We hove itt present a
list of twenty "authoritative" explanations of
the General's position. Nine. represent
as an uncompromising Radical ; nine are
positive that he is a rdraight up*-and-cinUlf
DeMorwat ; nnd'two declare that he is noth
ing at all, and will not accept is nomination
for the Presidency from either Party. Colo
nel Forney, for example. published the other
day,-in his two papers, five mortal columns
of most excellent Republican Sentiment, all
of which lie asserts that he knew on most in
dubitable testimony to be in Grant's head, if
they had not actually come out of his Mouth.'
The Boston Post next day hastened to in,
form us that Grant repudiated every word of
Forney's five columns, and the Philadelphia
Press replied by'an "authorized" contradic
tion of the Post. Tho Philadelphia Post
learns that Grant has no sympathy with the
Radicals. • The Springfield Republican is
certain. that he is substantially in accord with
the party of freedom, only is not so- fool
ish as to accept Colonel Forney as his spokes-.
man. The rebel Mobile Times accepts him
as a Copperhead ; the Macon Telegniph
nounces hint as a Radical; the Richmond
Enquirer believes he is no friend to the nig
ger, while General Rawlins 'vows on the
faith of a soldier that he is the best friend the
nigger ever had. More titan all this, the,
Ron. E. B. Washburne, a thoroughly disM
-terested statesman, whose mission in life is
to get Grant elected President, has made
a long speech to prove that his friend is
'everything the most exacting;toter can re
quire. This Ought,to have settled the whole
business; hut, alas for the - Uncertainty of
human affairs ! Mr. Washburne has no soon
er finishetLhis oration than tql gets that pes
tiferous' Boston Post again, mid avers _ that
Grant "detests" Mr. Washburne, doesn't
know him, wants to get rid !of him, and is
not responsible for any of his statements.
The Washington Chronicle says this is a lie,
and Mr. Wnshburne, we presume, i,t of the
sante opinion. The New York Day Book
thinks any man who doubts Grant to be in
perfect accord 'with Congress, is "green
enough to be eaten ter grass;" and right on
the. heels of this comes a statement in anoth
er Copperhead paper that the General has
accepted a nomination front the Johnson
Democracy. The Copperheads quote his ac
ceptance of Mt... Stallion's place as a proof
That he is a' Democrat ; Colonel Forney
quotes itas a proof that he is a Radical. One
gentleman heard him refer
to the rprooe.l of
Mliertdan as "more of the President's dirty
work ;" and another gentleman learns that
he has taken warning by Sheridan's "ludi
crous fate" and gone over to the Conserva
tive party:
Now we have no relish for getting Presi
dents out of it grab-bag.• We have no sym
pathy with the "hurrah!" Movement which
' hopes to rush a candidate into °Mee, not is.;
eause'lle is fit for the place, not because he
holds to the principles which the party is
created to support,-bitt beemise lie is a good

Jubilee at 'North' east.
The jollification of the Democracy which
e. roue off at North East On the afternoon and
etening of November I:itle was a decided
seicerk As early as 2p. in. the people Co
mmenced to arrive from the adjacent country.
They were greeted by their brother Demo
chth, by National - salutes fired in the Public
Square. At 8, p. m., Col. J. Ross Thompson
and „G. W. Gunnison, Esq., arrived from
Erie, and were met by a crimmittee. who se
compan ied them to Dix's and Hillard's Hotels,
preceded by the North East Brass Band.
whin enlivened the occasion by some of
their soul stirring music, which they so well
know how to discourse. At 1-2 past Sp.
between three and four hundred persons re
paired to the dining-rooms of the above Ho
tels, and replenished the Miler man with a
splendid supper, consisting' of nn the _season
able good things. After supper, the spacious
hail in the Dix House was tilled to its ut
most •capacity. Thomas 'Mellen, Esq., the
noble veteran Democrat, Was elected Presi
dent, with Captain Custard, Robert Marshall
and Lathrop Finn, thr ,Vice Presidents;
It 0. Hills was appointed Secretary and
Treasurer. Col. J. Rods Thompson was
then introduced to the meeting, who, in his
usual forcible way, portrayed the iniquities
of the party which is trying to reduce the
whites of this nation, to a Condition of negro
suffrage. Following the' Colonel, ;in that.
'happy style which entertains as well as in
structs, G. W. Gunnison, Esq., elucidated in
glowing terms that the only safe position for
the country in its present crisis was to be
found in strict adherence to the Constitution
, 7 and the well settled principles- of the Gov
;ernmeut. The occasion was One of the must

j Saloons, where the soldiers from every part
of the Union were fed during the late war
were an honor to Philadelphia, and there is
a peculiar propriety in ; the circumstances
that Philadelphia should inaugurate a plan
for the endowment of a National Institute

'have a home and-receive an education. This
is what the Trustees of the Riverside Insti

I 410 not intend that this khort paragraph
shall exhaust New Mexico, I menthin it
merely to state the agreeable disappointment
all of us .have felt here. So very little is
known of its latent wealth and undeveloped
resource 4 in the East, that I hope to do some
good by giving publicity to, all the reliable
information I can obtain abont it. This I
will do in the letters following this, and after
I hate satisfied myself of the truthfulness !)1 .
reports which, if correct, place New Mexico
first mono the mining regions of the Repub
lie. 1 must acknowledge tobeing prejudiced
against this Territory, and this feeling was
increased on• my first acquaintance with it.
I entered it from Codejos and. on the West
side of the Rio Grande. Our party, after
cros.sing, the supposed line, found but one
stream, in a long day's march though ihrests
of gigantic pines line . d either side of the road.
At 01e, Otlienic we found one of the most
remarkable places I ever saw inhabited. As
the name signifies, this place has a nom
her of hot springs, which are resorted
to by every claw.- of invalids in New
Mexico, and RI.; said with good effect.
The Charms river flows through this valley,
and at one time it appears tOmve been con
fined to hubs large enough arils for its limi
ted waters. This has been very recent, too,
as the large number of vacant adobe houses
show. Now the stream has washed But all

this valley impresses otteounl the ruined vil
lages add to the effect. Indeed, the whole
region below the St. Luis valley, bordering
on the Rio Grande, look' as if it had but jnst
escaped from the Noachian deluge. One
striking feature of the conntry referred to is
its.aaekoior table lands,--They look as if their
surface at one time marked the original r;le'-
valiort of the country. The: average height
of the mesas is.about three hundred feet, and
in some eases they are many miles in circum
ference andperfectly levid. It is curious to
'note that they arc covered with woof pals, the
bouldee-shaped scoria, that denotes recent
volcanic action. And looking down the steep

and San Juan are two Mlobe Mexican villa
ges 'on onnosite sides of the Rio Grande,
Witty miles northwest of Santa Fe. I men
tioned them to state that San Juan was built
on the w•st bank of the Rio Grande. but
owing`to the changes in the bed of the river
it is noii three miles back, while Santa Cruz,
on the t•ast side, which was originally four
miles 'from the river, is now within three
"quarters of a mile, and gradually getting
nearer. Such changes only occur where the
banks are low and clayey ; so that the Ito
Grande. opposes no obstacle to bridging,
where it naps through a rocky formation. •

is the name applied to the •Indians who live
in villages along the UM Grande„and who
•are said to be civilized ; perhapli It would be
better to Ray "they are tamed," for their man
ners and mode of life are not elevated. These
Indians are said to he the descendants of the
Aztecs, who were driven north and after
wards enslaved by the Spaniards.. 'I almost
question the truth of this statement, for. the
following reasons: There are some seven
thousand Pueblo 'lndians scattered along MI
Rio Grande for three hundred miles. They
live in seventeen communities or villages,
(Parbb.). and, with the exception of two vil
lages, all speak,a different dialect, and can
only understand each other by using the com
mon langnage of the country ; still, these
People, though supposed to be Christian.,
adhere to tht'.old sun worship of the Aztecs,
and in each village the sacred tires arc kept
burning though hidden from the white man's
gaze.
The name "..Ifinaterutim" is to them what
:tfahomet is to the Arab and Turk And as
the Christian looks for the second coming of
Christ, so do these people Ivatelt for the reap
,pearance of the Aztec king. Each morning
ass the sun rises they look to the East, and the
old men stand on the chapel tower to an
nounce his coming. A Catholic priest told
the writer that "he - believed the Pueblos still
adhered to human sacrifice. lie had known
perso l is, to disappear without being inquired
after, and he had every reason to believe
that intim tieide was common." The pueb
los dress like the other tribes that are .not
civilized, and go armed with the bolt• and
arrow.
There is much that is tinteresting about
these people, and after I have learned more I
will acquaint you with the facts. Anc.
