haustiye machinery To defend the State

Mr. Elan said this debt Of honor had
been assumed by the Goyernor--a debt
due two eminent men who are not in the

Though he did not approve this way OF
employing lawyers this debt should De
paid in honor to ourselves.

learned that there were other lawyers be-
sides Messrs. Tucker and COnkling TO be
paid az well as other engagements, 50 he
