The Keroman-CuppIss Cases.

AT the instance of the state, represented ny
Col. Elias Edmunds, and against the wishes
of Count De Keroman and his counsel, the
serious complaints made against the count
were to-day dismissed. Nothing new has de-
veloped in these cases,-the facts remain as
they were at the beginning, and the dismissal
of the charges looks like cruel sell upon the
public and very serious joke upon the count
who has been published far and wide as a
woman beater and bad man. The collapse OF
this matter leaves some awkward situations.
One witness, Miss Laura Jones, of Laredo,
has been attached to appear here next Satur-
day, at 10 o'clock, and it will cost the county
about $40 to secure this witness, who will be
very unwilling witness under the circum-
stances.
We are also informed by the counsel for the
defence that an effort will be made to secure
the return of the property Of the Count con-
sisting of diamonds.

The New Court House.

The design for our new court house, pre-
pared by Mr.. Alfred Giles, was exhibited at
the county commissioners meeting this morn
ing, and was.generally approved. The inter-
nal arrangements are, we are informed, of
very convenient character. The exterior de-
sign is certainly very handsome, and if it is Sc
lected we shall have building that will no,
only he an ornament to our city, but excelled
by few, il any, in our state. The design pre-
misses building of rough dressed stone, orna-
mented by fine dressed stone facings, the
whole surmounted by a very pretty mansard
roof. The adoption Of this plan will, it is
said, be economical, and it is so arranged as
to meet all the requirements Of the county
courts,
