This provision is in effect, similar to the resolu
ton Of the 9th December, 1887 on the same sub

1t is within the knowledge Of all that the resolution
OF the 9th December was also similar 10 a reSoiu-
adopted by the House several years since after
full examination of the subject BY committee. The
Representatives of the State which in part repre-
sent voted for that resolution, and of them
on the committee who reported it, Their course
met the decided appreciation Of majority OF their
constituents, as, believe, has the course of those
who supported the similar resolution OF the 2Ah De-

He is about FIVE feet eight inches high slen-
der and sparemade, his body inclining
forward and round shouldered, dark skin,
black eyes, thin visage, sharp nose,
thin beard and small whiskers-if any.
He is quite laxative and boastful-nar-
rating his own exploits with much puff.
He was committed to Jail for the wllful
and unprovoked MURDER of John J. Dor
man, Of the same parish.
Any person experimenting the said
FIRTH and lodging him in any Of the
jails of this State, shall have the above re-
ward. He is supposed to have retreated
to Mississippi, from having relations and
acquaintances in the upper part OF that
State ;--sufficient items are also obtained
TO render this almost certain. He appears
to be about thirty-6ve years Of age.
