Our New Court House.

In a recent issue we gave details Of the first
plan for our new court house, and we have
now the pleasure of laying the second plan be-
fore our readers.
Entering the building beneath gallery 26x
80, we pass into the hall. On the right hand
is the collector and assessors Office, 24.6x2o,
and on the left is the county clerks, "a. 6x2o.
We enter another hall 1856, on the right OF
which is the commissioners court "a 6x256,
and the sheriff Office 24.6x25.6, and on the
left is the county court room, 24.6x44.
Ascending the stairs we come to another
hall, in which is balcony 26xSo, on the right
is the county treasurer's office "a. 6x2o, and on
left is the district clerks Office "a 6x2o front.
ing the balcony in the entrance to the district
court is court room 56x44 and rs feet high
On tho left side of the court room is the
Judges seat, below it is the clerk S
desk, at the left hand is the wit
ness stand, and against the wall are the
jury seats and desk. Fronting the judges
seat is consultation room I4x2I.o, and Jury
room I4x2I. 3, and at the side is jury room
24.6xo. Above the consultation and Jury
room is gallery I4x44 for the accommoda-
ton of the public. Ascending to the third
story there is another balcony 26xS, similar
to the hall. On the right is the grand jury
room "a 6x2o, and on the left is the jury room
"a 6xIS and county surveyors Office 24.6xI4.
Both these plans are prepared by Mr.. AL
fred Giles and are meritorous. For many rea-
sons, we prefer plan No. 1, and that will,
we are sure, be found more advantageous for
public service.
One advantage Of these plans is that the old
building and the vault will be used; and in
point of economy we can get handsome
courthouse for nominal snm.
In its present site the courthouse is con-
venient, and capable Of alteration to a hand
some and convenient structure at bagatelle,
and we certainly are in favor of the adoption
of Mr.. Giles plan. Ifyou move it and erect
new building you saddle the county with
expenses, for site and building, which, in our
opinion, can and ought to be avoided. We
want a courthouse, it is true, but in the in
terest of our citizens, We advocate good and
efficient courthouse at the least possible cost,
and that is provided for by tbF plans which
Mr.. Giles has furnished.

Goose Greek settlement, although a

off from a piece OF hay land which they
we're preparing to fence, the owner Of
said stock, being a high toned German,
undertook to put a sudden stop to the
proceedings by discharging several shots
from his long range breech-loader, into
the immediate vicinity of the trans
gressors. Failing to create a panic in
this manner, he rode out to them and
proceeded to hurl a vOlley of ''Cuss
words" at the boys, when n OF then
~dismounted and chased the "Dcitchen

likely the grand jury may have occasion
to inquire into the motive of a man
who thus deliberately opens fire on his
neighhOrs upon so slight a provocation.

CONGRESSMAN WARNER, of Tennessee,
"Our Dick" has introduced sweep
ing bill providing for a reduction of
official salaries. He proposes to re-
duce the salary of the President from
$4,000 to $4,000. His bill provides
for a reduction of the salaries of
members of the Cabinet, bureau
offices, Judges of the Supreme Court
and even Congressman. He proposes
to reduce the salaries OF Congress-
men to $4,000. This will prove
fatal to the success of the
bill. Members of Congress, when
they come directly before the dear
people, are very economical, but
when their own salaries are mems
toned they forget all about it,
They are only common flesh and
blood, and it is too much to expect
of them to cut down their salaries to
the extent of one thousand dollars
per annum. MIR. Warmers bill
might have some show of success
with this feature left out. but none
in the world as it is.

TIE solons of the South Carolina
Legislature propose to punish fail
ure to pay poll tax by imprisonment.
A bill to that effect has already
passed the senate. This is going a
step further on that question than has
been attempted before. Several States
have made the experiment OF making
the payment of a poll tax prerequi
site to the exercise of the
elective franchise. Tennessee tried
it once, but soon abandoned it.
Virginia tried it, and the repeal OF
the law is one of the issues upon
which Virginia bourbonism went to
its grave. 1t is all wrong and will
not work. AS proposed in South
Carolina, it would be tyrannical in
terferenc with individual liberty
wholly unjustifable.

The position of chaplaip in the army
should not be used by the appointing
power to provide resting place for
superannuated or ease seeking cler-
gymen. The army chaplain should
be man who is both capable and de
termined to do hard and earnest
work. For such men there is a wide
field of usefulness in connection
with our military service, but a
change in the system is necessary to
secure them. Something should IN
questionably be done to render the
position of army chaplain more in
viting to the right class OF men, and
whatever may be thought of The
proposition to give them specific
rank, they should at least be BETTE

THAT MAN SNYDER.
ScOyiiie's New Hitnpss on the Eve OF
Getting Into Very Warm Water
Special to the Courier Journal.

Special to the Courier Journal.
WASHINGTON, January 29.-The
claim of the defense for new trial
in the case of Guiteau is based upon
the affidavit of Frederick Snyder,
who claims to have in hispossesslon
the copy of daily paper OF this city
which was read by certain members
of the jury. Snyder is dead-beat
and a scoundrel, and his testimony can
be most easily rebutted by the prose~
cution when they show up his real
character. He has hung around the
people of the prosecution, in the
hope of OBTAINING job from them,
and when defeated, has branched out
for d certain money consideration on
the side of the defendant. He has
visited the room of the jury at the
hotel under an assumed role. He
only wanted to make o little money
and secure his board at the h2tel.
There is the best of evidence that he
forged the names, Whlch he an
nounces were written upon the
copy of the paper that
according to his statement, was
perused by the jury, All OF the
members Of the jury say that they
never saw any such paper, and that
Snyder lies Such was the reputa-
ton of Snyder before he eyer came
to Washington. Col. Corkhill said
tonight to your correspondent that
he expected, instead Of any assertion
of Snyder's being proved, that he
would convict him of perjury. AS
Snyder's affidavit is the principa
ground upon which the defense bases
its ground for new trial, 1t woule
seem to be, in the light of all The
facts, very untenable ground.
