Merritt made splendid conservative l.
dress and maid n hiph commitment to Major
of the law granting land certificates to Grip
pied Confederates, because, although on
the opposite side in the conflict, he said lie
thought the poor fellows were justly en-
titled to the states bounty.
Finlav, continuing, said he did not serve
under Wellington at Waterloo, was not
with Napoleon when he crossed the Alps,
and denied having killed Cock Robin, but
if he had come out of thirteen pitched Dat
ties unscathed, like Mr.. Todd, ne would
not, like him, have voted against giving
to the poor veterans OF IeXaS d9ilar, nor
a wooden leg to the crippled Cuntederates.
Though Confederate soldier, he had fought
under the United States flag and would do
so again whenever his arm was needed.
Hutchinson came to the rescue oil
Todd, and the conflict only ceased when u

The bill renting taxes to liquor
sellers closed up by local option, was taken
