There are many questions connected with tn,

might not be able to properly settle, or be NIGH
settle them against the interests OF the state .nC

Ne think Mr. Buskirk bad better return to New

term Of once, or resign and Les some one b.
appointed Who will act .. agent of the state.
We shall look into this matter further. an,
hold up. at the proper time. this whole trans
