too vile to mention. Dennis retaliated
by swearing out warrant for his ar

to about $40.

ate Friday passed the house gen.
eral fee and salary bill, with but few
material changes, by vote Of q TO II.
The bill first came up under special

upon until a few minutes before II
O'Clock Friday.
When the bill was sent to the sen.
ate from the house, it was referred to
the senate committee on fees and SAL
aries, of which Senator Jumper is
chairman. Thursday morning that
committee reported the bill back to
the senate, recommending horizon
tai cut in the salaries of majority
Of the county officers. All Of the
amendments recommended by the

charged by justices of the peace. The
fees fixed make a material reduction
in the present charges.
