and ordered the members to take their
seats, when some OF those who were
under the influence Of liquor refused to
obey his orders, while others called

The Sheriff left his place at the
JUICES desk and came down among
those who were making the disturbance
and taking hold of Democrat who
was making considerable noise, told
him that unless he took seat aud kept
quiet, he would land him in cell in
the pavement. Other Democrats and
Repub licans crowded around, and for a
few minutes serious fight was threat
<ned.
The Sheriff, however, was cool, but
firm, and after seating his man took
hold of we'll known Republican, and
compelled him to keep quiet, when
order was again restored, aud Mr.. Col
Inns withdrew his motion. The reading
of the certificates then progressed with
out further interruption, until the close,
