The vole ihen given him, by his legislative
course and conduct. Upon our local ques.
don, his course Of duty was plaiU, and II
was faithfully followed. He shares largely
in the honor of having brought to success
(ul termination, so far as the Legislature is
concerned, the just measure Of removing she
public buildings from the edge Of the CouO
lty TO the centre; and he will be iavoraoly
and kindly remembered by our citizens
thereafter, for his active and successful ex
er,ions in this good and meritorous work oI
removal. Upon other quetions, Mr.. F.'s
views and votes have been commendabIt
and correct. He has given TO the homes

The Ieros Question Settled-The de-

of Mobile. now in session, settles all doub.
about 'annexatIon.' We learn from the
Herald, that few days ago Judge Bragg
decided that Texas was part Of The Oni

juror pe'iloning to be excused from The
performance of his assigned duty, on the
plea that he was citizen Of Texas. The
Judge ordered him to take his seat in the
