absolete after a time. When tn
bill speaks of loyal papers it use
language special to a temporary
condition of things, and says tina
heis not aware that any newspaper
in the State was disloyal. The
constitution is not mandatory bul
permisslve. The bill in its title
proposes to dispose of the Judicial
printing in the several Circuit
