AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The code committee are hard at work
in Montgomery revising the work of Code
Commissioner Martin. 1t is confidently
expected that the joint work of the COM
missioner and committee will give to
MS the best codification of the statutes
the state has ever had
The State Herald is informed on good
authority that the code committee are
divided among themselves upon the ques-
ton whether to incorporate into the new
code a section abolishing the existing
rule made by the present supreme court
recurring the making of abstracts in all
cases appealed to that court, or whether
a separate and distinct bill shall be in
troduced into the general assembly and
passed for that purpose, or whether the
rule requiring the abstract shall be al
lowed to remain unimpaired.
If we have been correctly informed
this is q very important question, and
one in which the people of the whole
state are deeply interested.
OF 500 cases a year appealed to the
supreme court, the abstract in each case
will cost on an average probably $50,
which means an expenditure by the par
ties in the case on one side or the other,
$4,000 In addition to this, library fee
of Sc is taxed as part of the costs in
each case, which makes $4,000 more.
1t may be safely said that the litigants
of this state pay out now, from $4,000
to $4,000 in addition to the costs of the
regular officers of the supreme court.

A VOICE FROM OUT THE SEA.

A voice from out-the magic isle,
Over the waves of, the Mexic sea;
And fierce as eagles cry and wild
1t shrieks and cries for liberty:
20, never moments rest shall be
Till all the patriot bands are free,
Cuba libre.
Cuba free"
And waiting out on the breezes mild
Ever atloat on the Mexic wave,
The infant wall our hopes beguile
AS freedom trembles for the brave:
."Fo armsi to arms. our cause is just;
To arms! to arms! in God we trust,
Cuba free
Unequal strife there, Spanish rage,
Swarming with cannon and grape and shell
And all munitions of the age,
Shall never Danish or eXpel
The glowing fires of freedom, born
Cuba libre,
Cuba free"
Unequal strife. on many fields
The craven Spaniards fall and fade
In hopeless DEATH as freedom Yields
Her simple deadly machete blade;
Yet cries for better arms than these,
To hurl her tyrants into the seas;
= Cuba libre,
Cuba free"
As childhood cry for mother breast,
Out Of the depths of the magic isle
voice comes out on the pillows crest
A wall from freedoms latest child:
80 mother land of liberty,
Speak thou the word, and we are free;
Cuba libre,
Gubaefree."
Listen and hear what the breezes bear
Over the crest of the Mexic wave;
The sorrowful dirges of despair,
The unequal struggle by the brave:
Columbia, rise; thy courage prove;
Poor Cuba cries for mother love,
o mother land,
o mother land"
