THE COURTHOUSE QUESTION.
The burning OF the old Court-H House, on
Thuraday, seemed to have produced very little.
If any, sadness IN tho community The popular
beautiful "a Waukegan, with all its natural ad-
vansages, is deserving Of more ornamental
structures. AZ the residents Of Libertyyille
/ and Highland Park ara anxious that their
respective place should be the county-ecat,
there will probably be considerable litigation
before a new one will be erected but, in order
! to remove tho county-seat from Waukegan, it
! will be necessary for some other point to get g
majority Of the votes, which, although possible,
! Is not very probable. There seems to be no
doubt but Waukegan will bo the possessor OF the
new cditice that will necessarily bo constructed.
The Supervisors will hold meeting in Nogem-
bes, Immediately after election, to tako soue
action in the matter.
