the powerful influence Of its col

Compson is no more to blame than
Coy. Pennoyer, the Commander in

ed the order. From Gen. Comp

Nelson met his death in the act
finnocently probably Of violating
the orders Of his superior. Some
one had 70 be found on whom tC

if Governor Pennoyer would call q

bers into passing a law to curb ex-

deserve the gratitude of the people.
Some members would be in favor
Of an extra session if it could be
known in advance that the legisla-
ture would repeal the laws author
izing the iute mill and soldieis

want the mortgage tax law re-en-
