in part as a reward for the loyal

cent war, and in part to the desire
to quiet the discomfort and restless

population. England has always

have been receiving from the state.
This is provision of the new organ

Iteration there was an attempt made
to fix the pay of senators and repre-
sentatives fifteen dollars per day for

ession, but this proposition failed of
final passage and the pay was there
fore fixed at ten dollars, with mile

complete the work by dredging the
balance of the untouched side. At
Port Barre, where the Teche comes
out of Bayou Courableau, a set Of
locks will be put in, the preliminary
work for same having already been
attended to.
