building. though in our opinion, the new building does not come up to the speeifi- cations. The wood work of said build ing is shabby and does not do credit to the architect or contractors. We find from reports of the road super intendent that the roads have been well worked and kept in good condition dur ing the past year. We would recommend to the next gen. eral assembly of Alabama the passage of some measure providing for the pay ment of witnesses summoned before grand juries, they being compelled to attend at long distances from their homes and paying their own expenses and be- ing paid in certificates. which will not bring in some instances 10 cents on the dollar or are utterly worthless. It is a great injustice and perpetrated on a class of people who are least able to endure 1t, and we earnestly hope our representatives will have this great evil remedied in the interest of the poor people.
 We desire to tender our thanks, etc. and respectfully ask to be discharged.

In 1881 MT Hardin was elected attorney-general of the state on the dem ocratie ticket. His administration of this office was so popular that he was twice reelected with little opposition, sitting twelve years. Four years ago he had strong following as a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, but was defeated by John Young Brown in a triangular contest in which the other aspirant was c. NJ Clay, Jr., his chief opponent in this convention. Physically MT. Hardin is a man of fine appearance, but he is noted for marked democratic simplicity in dress and manner. This latter trait, added to the prestige of the family name, which is a strong element in Kentucky politics. somewhat explains the anomally presented by many sound money delegates supporting man who has made his canvass almost so1idly on the free silver coinage issues.

 dale-Clue to the Miscreant.
 Marshal sudduth of Avondale yester- day morning came into police headquar- ters and reported that a six-room house occupied by Caesar Ceaston and two otl4er darkies was Tuesday night dyna- mited and partly destroyed by, as he thinks, other darkies who have grudge against Ceasar, as he has been shot at three times in the last month.
 The dynamite was evidently placed be- tween the stills under the room where the three darkies were asleep. and touched off with a fuse.
 The house was badly shattered, and the room in which the darkies were sleeping was almost completely torn away. and it is miraculous how they escaped un- hurt.
 Marshal Sudduth thinks that he has q clue to the dynamftefs, and expects to bring them within the clutches of the law in short order.
