The old court house will be torn
down Immediately and a new one
contracted for as soon as suitable
plans and specifications can be made
out The contract will be let for
both brick aud stone and if the cost

mittee will say ugly things about
Grover. Louisiana also objects to
the repeal of the sugar bounty.

him and that the man ran to the bridge

concluded:
'The judgment of this Court is that
you be confined in the pententiary al
