SALEM Jan. 1G.-The new and
magnificent Court House in this city
was brilliantly illuminated and densely
packed last evening, celebrating the
verdict Of an honest jury in the case
of w. T. Wythe, one of the Wilson
heirs, against Marion county, f>r the
recovery of the Court House and the
ground belonging thereto. 1t was
regarded by all the citizens as a
dastardly blackmailing scheme. and
since the commencement OF the suit,
public Indignation has expressed
itself in various ways. Last night
speeches were made, songs composed
tor the occasion sung, and cannons
brought out and fired. During the
day every available flag in the city
was displayed and the streets pre-
sented a holiday appearance. This
puts a quietus on Salem land titles.
