ineiit rtgaiding (ho rumored
counting out of tlm republican
legislature 1 una high. The gov-
ernor and council assembled
i the state house." " The goyei*
iKir informed the committee that
tbo returns would not be consid-
ered upon until the ■committee
of the council' on elections re-
volted the result of the canvass
nndjbere would be twenty days
for pity legal correction or
change of the returns. It is ru-
mored this would give the dem-
ocrats 1& senators and the re-
publteaos 12. The vote as cast
gives the republicans 10, and
the democrats 12.
Augwto, Nov. 20.-- The polit-
?';al ^?a,ion 18 virtually un
changed, no permission to ex-
uniiite tl^ returns has yet been
given. The republicans claim
ihat the democrats have un op-
portunity to examine;-the re.
i urns have been able to cor

Pinos.cNov. 18.- -The re-
sult of the commission so far lias
established the fact th.it each
and every chief hae testilied to
ua.Unmitigated falsehood as re-
gard# who participated in the
WJ$? rirer massacre. In re-
P y%Oeneral Adams'assertion
tiiat if the Indians would not
nalne who participated in said
massacre, he would be forced to
gahome. Onray replied,"! caunot
lorce men to say: what they do
not wish, Show me any act of
the Jaw by which a man is
compelled to convict himself."
lie acknowledged he was afraid
•he 'o^estigation would result
in establishing nothing at all.
Denver, Nov. 21. -A Los Pi-
nos dispatch reports that the
testimony of two runners sent
by Onray to the White river
Utes before the massacre, was
given without prevarication.
Ouray counseled t'hn'm to make
a full, breast of everything us
the chances for leniency on the
part of the commission depend-
ed upon the truthfulness of their
statement, which was consistent
throughout, but General Adams
has not brought them to a real-
izing sense of their position,
•hey are now praying fOr peace,
they say their • amuuiiion is all
gone and the prospects of a
winter campaign... is somewhat
formidable.. Tlmy express a
willingness to a peaceful arbi-
tration, but desire (he commis-
®ion to come to a liaal settle-
ment. After the adjournment
«'f the commission Ouray made
a speech which for power of el- j
"•luence and depth ot reasoning i
Went fur beyond any of his pre- j
vious efforts, which threw a
Hood of light upon his previous
J'ftorts, all of Whicli were seem
'"gly consistent from the very
jirst.

WHOLE3ALE OOSTLY.
BeUevliij? that the Live Stock interest, (and by this we
mean nU kinds of stock raised for pro/it, frotji the cow brute,
down to chickens,).of this portion of Texas is sufficient to warrant
the publication of a paper in the Stock Interesf. and believing
the Range the proper location, the ECHO has been moved to
this point. It proposes to make the
LIVE STOCK BUSINESS
a leading feature,but not'to the exclusion of local and general news.
It wants all manner of news from every stock ranch in the
Country and has the ]>ledge of alarge nuinber of gentlenu n own-
ing catrlH, hors^'auu sheep ranc.hes, to write leading articles foi
it," as well as to furnish (ill local news of a; stock nature, from
their respeetive idealities.
-- :o: -
THE SPECIAL AIM
OF TIIE ECHO will be to advance the interests of, 1st. Shack-
llord County ; 2nd. Our neighluiriiigjUtMinties and State, and au
