Ed. DEMoCRAr-The question Of adjourn
meut is the most important one had under

little strange in the matter; l fear that the
old sinner for whose benefit the resolutions
passed the Assembly does not stand very well
in the House. At any rate that died-in~the-
wool Lecomptonite Sam Merritt, moved TO
lay them on the table, and they were finally,
instead of being promptly adopted, referred

So mote it be.


Some comments have been made by some
thoughtless and ignorant people with regard
to the release of Stone, who killed Bell on
100000 bail. The Supreme Court will pro-

upon them by the Constitution just the same
