little while. Then his leading questions on
the present state of the country are not answer

tired OF silence at times and launches into
special pleas on his own behalf, aimed at
the innocent officer OF the guard, to prove
that the United States Government cannot pos

Gov. Shsrkey il now at work organizing Courts
OF Judiciary as fast as possible. Wherever civil
functions have not been disturbed throughout the
State, he has renstated old occupants and call
ed upon them to qualify themselves by taking

newspapers in this place and hatcher. The
scheme was handsomely thwarted, and the ma.
terisl prosperity OF the State is gaining ground.
