most important is that creating the
Court Of Claims. Congress has long

for want Of time to postpone until'
the ends Of justiccwere often defeated

that were in a pen at the corner Of
the yard. While feeding them, Hick-
man stabbed him just below the heart,

saw him leaning against the fence, and
Hickman turning and twisting the knife
in him as though he was trying 10

FRICTION FOR SCHOOL TAX.

There seems to be no doubt that the people of
this county voted last Saturday TO tax themselves
for common schools. We give below returns as
far as heard from. Ia some Of the districts not
heard from there was no election, and we suppose
the majority for the tax will be about 200. The
vote is very light, but believe that if the ques-
ton had been fully canvassed and the people
aroused the majority for the tax would have been
large. We are proud of this result in the capitol
