: arise. will be settled on the meeting
Of The legislature, when a thorough

will be made. Bills are 60 be pre-
pared by the committee of seventy
abOhshing all offices UOw held by the

Nothing short Of clean sweep WILL
be satisfactory.

the place OF trial 10 New York. Fhe
case accordingly was brought up on
Fridsy before Judge Brady, Of whom

dread. When this became known,

calling the suit and deferring the time
