tied, therefore, to vote for the entire Doarl

bars can be taken from the city, the country

tic bummers may conceive and adopt. In
this way Tho Doard may be constantly kept

sent constituencies composed in largo part
of mechanics, carpenters, briek-layers, stone-
inasons, brick-makers, quarrymeu, and dny
laborcrs, would mike special efforts in
bohaif Of Senator Ron1NsoNia bill, aud for
this reason, viz.s Tho money for prosecuting
work on tho Courthouse can only be OBJ
taiucd BY the people voting authority for
tho issue Of bonds. aud the people will never
vote 81 900, 900 to DO intrustod 10 tho present
County Board for expenditure. Unless
Senator RoB1ssox'a bill shall pass tho Legis-
lature, the people will refuse to voto for an
Issue of bouds, aud tie Courthouse work
must come to a stanlatil. All tho Persons
in lhe Legislature who represent constituon-
cies OF workingmen shonld feel constrained
by this consideration, ns we'll MS by tho pub
lie domaul and urgent necessity Of tho casa,
to give tho bill hearty support. Senator
Miles KEuox, who rendered such valuable
sorvico 10 tho public in securing tho change
Of date for tho town elections, should follow
