QHE STATE TREASTI RE ESTILI P.
Yesterday the two houses of the Penrisyl
van4 14gislature met in joint convention for
the ; purpose , of electing a State Treasurer.
Robert W. Mackey, the present incumbent,
was Republican caucus nominee; D. 0.
Barvbeing the Democratic caucus nominee.
There was no choice on the first and second
ballbts; but on the third General W. W. Irwin
waielected. The votes on these ballots were

Two Republican Senators and' thirteen Re
publican Representatives voted for General
IrWin, and they were joined on the third ballot
by all the' Democratic members, to defeat the
caucus nominee. The bolting Senators were
Messrs. Kerr, of the LaWience diarict, and
Lowry, of the Erie district. The Ifepresenta
lives were Messrs. Ames, of Crawford; Craig,
Leslie, McCracken and Wheeler, of the •
Mercer, Lawrence and Butler district;
Reinoehl,„Godschalk, Herr and Wiley, of Lan
caster; Bowman and McCreary, of Erie;
Corey, of Luzerne; and Buffington, of Washing
ton. 'While we regretexceedingly that want of
baimony,ameng the :Republican members is
shown thus early in the session, it is a great •
satisfaction to know that the Treasurer-elect,
General Irwin, is a staunch Republican, an
able , and honest man, and a well tried and
capable officer;
. for he was 'Commissary Gene
ral of the •' State under Governor Curtin all
thigh the War, and was State Treasurer
from'Sey 1E438 until May 1869.
This is not the first time, by long 0(18, when
caucus nominations have been defeated in the
Legislature. The history of our elections of
United States Senators affords instances of
the kind, to say nothing of less important
elections. It is Alleged by the supporters of
Mr. Mackey that bribery and bargaining have
been resorted to to defeat- him. Of this we
.know nothing; but if it is'true, the Legislature
_ought to have a thorough investigadon. At
the same time, there should be inquiries con
cerning all the influences which, it is alleged,
have been brOught to bear in favor of both the .
leading candidates; for it is declared that rail
road corporations and banks have taken a very
active part in the late contest. If there has
been any bargaining by which the Metropo
litan Police bill and other important
- Republican measures are to be sacrificed, the
people have a right to know it, and the Legis
lature ought to be able to find it out.
One good result, we hope, may come out of
the dissAlisfeetiou among Republicans at the
dheat of Mr. Mackey. It may lead to a change,
in the Constitution making the State „Treasurer
elective by the people for a term of years.
Every= year there is a scandalous wrangle over
the Treasurership in'the Legislature, although
the salary is only seventeen hundred dollars a
ypg. Governor Geary, in his late message,
presented this business in its true light,
and the angry contest just termi
nated is a new illustratien to sustain his argu-
. _ .
102 ents. A change iu the constitution requires
time. But, in the meanwhile, the Legisla
ture, at its present session, can enact such laws
concerning the Treasurer and the use of the
public funds, as will prevent any speculation in
them and also increase the revenue of the State.
THE NATIONAL RAILROAD.
In our remarks, a few days aeo, on the pro
jected air-line road to New York, we made no
illusion to a feature of the enterprise 'which
will be of Much moment to the people of
Philadelphia, and, indeed; to all travelers be
tween Philadelphia and New. York. We refer
to the question of thetermittts of the road.
This important point appears to be, as yet, un
settled. The road is actually projected from
New York, in a nearly straight line, until it
enters the, city limits of Philadelphia, crossing
the North Pennsylvania road, and then stop
ping at or near Nicetown. The Philadelphia
terminus of the road is thus left unsettled, and
the amount of accommodation to be enjoyed
by our citizens will depend upon the selection
Ve bid shall be made from the several methods
id entering the citi.
At present there are four methods of
leaving Philadelphia by the " Camden
and Amboy" line. The traveler has the choice
of the Camden route, the West Philadelphia
depot, the Kensington depot, and a fourth
route, as yet not very generally known.
During the last year, the New York company
has established a connection with the German
town and Norm istown road, at the intersection
of the Comforting Road with the latter road,
a short distance beyond the Broad street
crossing. A commodious station-houSe has
been - trectearid - the -convenience- afforded by
this new connection has already required the
addition of passenger and baggage cars to:, the
Germantown trains. "The Ninth and Green
streets depot has thus been made a fourth point
of departure for New York, and is much nearer
to a very densely-populated part of the city
than either of the other depots.
It is evident that the National Railroad may
cone into the city'elther by the North Penn
sylvania track, by the Ninth street route, or by
the Connecting Road, to West' Philadelphia.
•We have been informed that the Company
has also the chartered right of ttonicling Brood
street as a means of entrance to Philadelphia.
The Ninth street route possesses one advant
age over all others, in the fact that the centre
of the city can be reached by locomotives. a
great convenience to travelers. The depot of
the Germantown and Norristown road is to
tally insufficient for its own iisinesg, and could
only be made available for any considerable ad
ditional travel by its enlargement to two or
three times its present size. if thii could be
accomPliiihed, the Ninth street route to New
York, both by the old line and the new one,
would become a very popular, because a very
convenient One: •
It is Most desirable that there should be a
concentration of the termini of the various rail
roads starting from Philadelphia. The toPogra
phy of the city is 'such that this concentration
will probably have to be made at more than
one point. ' The Harrison :project, mooted a
feW years ago, to bring all the roads to a grand
focus In the neighborhood of the Penn Squares,
was an excellent one, but it is now, probably,
hopeless.' But there is perfect feasibility in the
idea of a Union Depot .at, West .Philadelphia,
for the Pennsylvania Central, :Baltimore, New
Toile; Reading and West Chester lines; to
which might' be , added a • much shorter route
for the Norristown branch of the German-
town and , 'Norristown road, by a con-
nection with' the Reading road at
the Falls of
: Schuylkill. Then, a Cen
tral 'Depot might be established at Ninth
and Green streets, for the • Germantown, 1: the
National and the North Pennsylvania ' roads.
ShoUld the Dela Ware be crossed by a railroad
i.ridge,at or near Vine street, the West Jersey,
Camden and Amboy and Camden and Atlantic
roads could also conveniently. reach the same
Depot. Sonic such concentration ai this would
afford incalculable accommodation, not only to
the travelling public, but to the railroad com
panies, and there Is little doubt that it will
eventually be made.
THE PRISON REPORT.
We publish, to-day, the interesting report of
Commissioner Dickinson, upon the condition
of the county prisons of Pennsylvania. The
labors of the • venerable Prison Society of
Philadelphia have been productive of much
good in many ways, but in none more impor
tant; than in the radical reform which haS,been
effected in the workings of the prison system
of the State. The appointment of an intelli
gent and faithful Commissioner, like Mr.
•llickinson, has hurt . followed by a general
improvement in the condition of the prisons
throughout the State. Ills present report gives
a most gratifying account Of the active efforts of
the various counties to provide suitable places
Of confinement for prisoners, in accordance
with the laws of Pennsylvania and the dictates
of 1/ - 5 wise humanity.
, With one or two striking exceptions, the
county prisons now being erected are com
mended:by Mr. Dickinson as models of conve
nience, safety, comfort and architectural beauty.
The new prisons at Allentown, Hollidaysburg,
Ebensburg Mauch Chunk, Easton, Couders
port and Clearfield are all referred'
to . ' as most creditable , to the good
judgment alift public 'spirit of the several
Boards of Commissioners, and to the skill of
the architects employed. „The report reflects
severely upon the county prison of Erie, which
is stated to be " the filthiest and worst-governed
prison" the Commissioner has ever entered.
The state 'of affairs revealed by the 'report is,
in the highest degree, disgraceful to the people
of Erie county, and it is a matter of congratu
lation for the State that Erie appears to enjoy
her bad eminence in this regiect alone. Centre
county has erected a very handsome prison
with the fatal defect of not being fire-proof, a
defect which will furnish the community with
,a chapter of horror at some future day. The
new prison at Wilkesbarre is condemned. It
has been constructed upon the plan of the Erie
abomination, and its cells are so well contrived
ihr the exclusion of light and air that Mr. Diek
inson very forcibly says that, no human being
can be confined in them' for any great length
of time "without loss of health or perhaps life."
We are not surprised at Mr. Dickinson's conclu
sion that "the projectors never intended to re
gard the laws Of the State made for the goN,'-
erianent of our jails, and that there bad been a
studied attempt so to construct the cells that .
the laws should not be enforced in them." The
Legislature should give its special attention to
this case.
Commissioner Dickinson calls attention to
the necessity for an important reform in the
management of many of the county jails,which
are nominally' under the care of the Sheriff,
but which are nccessarily. left to take care of
themselves, dining the absence of that official.
Be points out the practical evil of the system,
and suggests,that county , jails, acCommodating
over• twenty prisoners, shall be plaCed under
the care of Competent wardens, who shall . be
required to maintain that proper discipline and
due regard to the prison system of Pennsyl
vania, without which, as the report truly says,
"all the improvements in prison buildings, and
all the money expended in their erection, will
be lost or thrown away." •
SOMEBODY'S MAN.
There is a slang phraSe adopted into the
political vocabulary of the day, which
is coming into very general use and
which is full of very unpleasant suggestions.
Such and such a one is spoken of as being
Senator —'s "man," or Congressman
"man," or somebody's " man," through all the
grades of office-holding, from a constable or
an Alderman up to a Senator of the United
States or a Judge upon the bench. The se
lection of men for office, high or low, is made,
almost universally, not upon considerations of
personal merit, but with reference to their
ability and willingness to serve some other
occupant of or aspirant to other and higher
offices. To be an office-holder's or office
seeker's "man," is to be his (log, his slave,
his man-of-all-dirty-work. He is expected to
work for the man whose influence has secured
some minor position for him, and in proportion
to his unscrupulous fidelity to the private pa
" tical interests of his master are his own chances
for promotion. lie who is somebody's.
to-day, hopes to be somebody's master to-mor
row; and the dirty work that he. does now, lie
hopes to impose on his own "man" hereafter.
•The Senator has a Congressman who is his
"pan." The Congressman has a Councilman
or a State Lecislator, or other officer, who is
his "man." These, in turn, have clerks, in
spect Ors, directors, and others for their " men."
'nese have aldermen, ward assessors, and
election officers, as their " meii." • These have
constables and policemen as their "men."
These have' - unlicensed tavern-keepers
for their "men :" and so the de
scending scale runs, each man appoint9d
or elected to serve the people and supposed to
earn his compensation by the honest discharge
of his prescribed duties, and each devoting time
and energy to the service of some political
master, who has promised to pull his " man "
up the slippery ladder of promotion after him,
and who meanwhile demands of him services
with which he dare not defile his own bands,
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA,TIIIII3.MAY; JANUARY 13,1870.
.
but ivhic,h his 4 ' man " is, ready thdc; for hire,
for the sake of future reward. •
.We never bear an individual spoken of.e.s
anyone's " man," without the feeling that he is
nobody's man ; that he... is' • the merest
tool of ,some superior politician ; that,
be has - sacrificed manhood, L inde
pendence, self respect, for some miserableout,
worthy political ambition, -fdr the
,sake of
which he is .willing to grovel .in the lowest,
meanest kennels of political trickery and cor- ,
ruption.
This new sting phrase is .common to the
vocabularies of, both parties,.and it finds its
illustiations in both. It is rarely, If ever, used
where it does not imply somepresent or future
rascality; and it will be well for any party that
can most speedily. abolish both the word and
the thing which it represents. •
Prince _Lucien Murat,, a cousin ofeEmpe
ror
of Franee; is td be tried for an assault upon
a magistrate, committed some time ago. Au
imperial decree orders that the trial shall take
place before the High Court of-Justice, and
this Maihe Made ti; preeedent for the trial -qaf
'Primp Pierre Bonaparte before the same court.
This Prince Murat is the same that flourished
at Bordentown, New Jersey„ twenty-five or ,
thirty-five years ago. His wife supported him
and their family by , teaching school. He was a
genteel, luxurious loafer, who went back to
France after 18-4 s, leaving debts all over Bur
lington and Mercer comities. He, his wife and
children -are --recognized -7 65 - Trinces and
Princesses of the Imperial family. We have
not seen the particulars of the attack' on the
magistrate, for which he is to be Wed.. But
the fact that he has been engaged in such a
brawl, at the mature age of sixty-seven, shows
that he has not improved much since he left
New Jersey.
The Annual Statement of the InSurance
Company of North Atherica, published in an
other column, is deserving - of attention. 'This
company has been in operation three quarters
of a century. Its assets exceed , those of any
other State company. Since its organization it
has,paid, in cash, losSes amounting to twenty
three millions of dollars. The names and
character of the present officers give assurance
that its good management is to be continued.

Fr.si tbo Providence. J.st, . 12.1
About ball the buildings of the National
Rubber Company at Bristol were consumed
7esterday by fire, along with their contents,
involving a loss of between $150,000 and 4;;00-
000. fully covered by insurance in the different
companies given below. The tire was caused
by the explosion of the middle heater, owing
to the expansion of highly rarified air ti
an
spread with almost unexampled rapidity;
driving the employes out at the buildings,
none of them however, receiving any injury.'
The entire north line of buildings, to
gether with the rooms connecting the north
line with the south, were destroyed, the walls
only being left Standing, and these,- narticti
larly the brick' walls; in a very dilapidated
condition. The side destroyed is 440 tent in
length, the buildings averaging forty - feet - in
width. and consists ofthe heating rooms, with
three heaters, the varnish room, the packing
room, the steam curing room for manufac
turing hose, belting, &c., the connecting
rooms, gum, Cutting and stock rooms,
and the magnificent new shoe room, 64
by 130. Very little'stock is saved, on ac
' count of the rapidity with which the. thanes
spread through "the-various rooms.
In the:rooma on the south side is all the valu
able machinery, which, fortunately, escaped
injury. The works covered an area of two
and a half acres, and the lot on which they
are built is known as the "ten-acre lot," and
belongs to the National Rubber Company. No
precise estimate has butvet been formed as to the
amount of damages, t the heaviest loss will
be on unmanufactured stock. The Company

lowing is a statement of the insurance upon

PARIH, Jan. 13.--lho government has seized
the Mood/to/4e for exciting hatred against

would he done.
~ Alluding to, the dangerous
articles in the'Papers, be said the government
represented right and justice, and if neces4ary
it would be found that it also, represented
might.

from the window of the ,residence of Victor
Noir, during the funeral ceremonies yester
day. No police or military were present. There
wa's great excitement in the streets last night,
people gathering in crowds and singing the'

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN NEW YORK
The New 'York Money Market.
[By Hasson's News Agency.)
.±..:KR" YORK, Jan. 13.—The money market is
easier at tia7 per cent. on call. Foreign Ex
ch itige.is dull at lf,Si for prime bankers'
day sterling bills, and 1091 for sight.
the gold market was heavy and lower,open
ing at 121, and declining to 1211, and finally
recovering to 12110.1211. The rates paid for
carrying were 7 per cent. gold and 1-32 per
diem.
The news from France would ordinarily
cause a great excitement in the Gold Room,
and a sharp rise in the premium ; but the lead
ing bulls sold,out a few days since, and now
stubbornly resist all attempts at an advance in
the prices! \
Government bowls were heavy and lower,
in sympathy with the fall in gold and the ex
citing news from France.
Southern State securNes are higher in Vir
ginias, lower in Tonnessees, awl generally
steady in others.
Pacific Railway mortgages sold at 811 for
Unions and MI for Centrals.
_
Bonds were offered to the Government to
day to the amount of -S-1,100,850, at prices rang
ing from 113.96 to 115.25.
The stock market was somewhat irregular,
but active on a few of the leading shares. The
report that the Pennsylvania Central was en
deavoring to get the control, of the Northwest
Company caused a large demand for North-
West common • shares, and the price ranged
from 751a74;.
New Jersey Central shares formed a promi
nent feature in the market, and the price ad
vanced from 974 to ICO. This stock is manipu
lated by the hull clique. The Hannibal and
St: Josephßailroad shares were more active,
owing to the rumors of a dividend of 5 per
cent. cash, and 25 per cent. on the stock.
Pacific Mail fluctuated between 39,a401.
There were . liberal . dealings in the balance.
The market was without any decided change;.
and fluctuations wera.in sympathy with those
noted aboVe. lilspress shares were firm.
The Assassination of Victor Noir.
To the Editor of the N. 1 - ..,S'an: SIR, : For the
purpose of correcting any possible misappre
hension in the public mind with re . and to the
assassination of Victor Noir by Prince Pierre
Bonaparte, permit me to lay before you some
facts respecting the parties:
The De Fouvielle family is of cons t derable
antiquity and high respectability. It is now
composed of three brothers. The eldest, Wil
fred, is well-known seientitic man, and a
member of the editorial staff of the Libette,
Emile de Girardin's paper. The isecond,
Arthur, belongs to the staff of the Marseillctise.
He was connected" with thew last —efforts of
Shanty], in the Caucasian i4titiggle for inde
pendence, and bas also. been a sailor. The
third, Ulrich, was my aid4e-catup in the
Italian campaign and in the Shemuirloah•Val
lev. After my resignation I got him a situ
ation in the United States Topographical
Corps,where he served to the end of the war,
under the orders or General Warren. He then
Went to France, where he is editor-in-chief of
the Ligtie Direct ,, , a semi-weekly paper.
Victor Noir was a young man, who came a
THE DAILY EVENING ,BULLETIN-MILADELPHIA, THURFRAY, JANUARY 18, 1;370.

few years ago from the provinees to Paris to
embark in a literary career: He was a Jolly,
goodliatured fellow: Neither, he nor any , ot
tlie Fouvielles cab for a Moment be suspected
'era disloyal or cowardly nation. ; The Fon
vielles arc known all ...a.lror, France' for their
chivalric spirit, especially Ulrich and Arthur ;
and as their personal friend I 'protest against
the charges and insinuations made against
them. A Fouvielle never did and never will
fly from any man.
As .for Pierre Bonaparte, he is the same
314j0r who fled from the storming of Zaatcha,
and was cashiered and censured for his cow
ardice by the Assembly and the Minister of
,
War.. ' '
If unprejudiced persons will carefully ex
amine the facts' as reported they will see that
Pierre Bonaparte was waiting for Rochefort
with a revolver ready in hits pooket, that there
was no witness present, and that even the
servants were out of the way. Hisllisappoint
'Tient at seeing two friends of Rochefort in
stead, of 'himself would spelt to show
that ' Rochefort% assassination • was
his real object: As a correspondent
of, the Afamitlaise, and a Republican, .I pro
test against the strange representations 01 the
Mrald of this 'horning. A paper which prints
100,000 copies, and whose editor-in-chief is a
member of the Corps Legi:litif, .elected by
universal sulirage,is not a contemptible sheet,
as the Herahl represents it. •

TEIERIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Tliree Per,sens Killed stud a Large sum
ber Wounded.
The Lynchburg (Va.) Nw:s of Monday
morning bas the following:
Passengers by the Tennessee cam Saturday
morning report that a terrible accident oc
curred near Cleveland, on the East , Tennes
see and Georgia Railroad, on Friday last, by
which three persons were killed outright
and some eighteen or twenty wounded, ome
of theM perhaps fatally and ✓ others seriously.
The full details of this horrible casualty have
net reached us, but from the meagre particu
lars we were enabled to gather it appears that
four passenger coaches were thrown from the
track whilst passing a high embankment, two
of the coaches being, precipitated down the
embankment, turning over several times: in
the deseent, and being completely broken to
pieces, killing instantly three passengers and

THE MORMONS.
The Excitement at Hatt Lake City.
The Salt Lake City Evenhig Nors, Brigham
Young's Church organ, publishes Cullom's
Utah bill entire, and thus closes a column and
a half of severe denunciation of its author-f
"-There is one re,solve, however, that we have
heard expressed, which we trust will never
be . forgotten ; no mob, sanctioned by law or
otherwise, shall ' ever enjoy • undisturbed the
fruits of our toil. We would rather see this
land converted into a wilderness anti the labors
of twenty-five years swept away in a few
hours, than that our enemies, shall find that
reward for their villainy in our possessions °"
Brigham's speech on the bill was the most
'vituperative ever delivered by him. Excite
ment in Salt Lake City is at lioiling-heat; and
business at a dead stand. •

W Asuits4 TO V, Jan: 13.--The Senate Postal
Committee decided,,at a meeting to-day, to re
pOrt the till amending the charter heretofore
grantedto the Commercial Navigation Steam
p Company, pitstiili fig . the time. 'roil uiring
vessels to be built to eighteen menthe. The
oflicerS of this CoMpany represent that within
this period they will have seven first-class
steamen afloat, enabling Postma.stee-General
Creswell to send American mails to Europe
by American lines of steamers, ,
liforace Greeley and .C. Colorado Jewett,
who went to Niagara Falls together during
the rebellion, to meet the 'Peace Commission
ers from the so-called Confederate States, are
now stopping at the Arlington Hotel:
Rumors are afloat that an important move
ment is in progress which will greatly benefit
the prospects of, the. Cuban insurgent:s
in obtaibing their independence: The
names of several prominent supporters
of.the Administration are freely used, but tie
'tails of the scheme have not become, public.
The Cubans in this city are more sanguine
new of the result of the insurrection than at
any trine for months past. •
The admission of Virginia ,will probably
occupy the attention of both Houses during
the entire day, with no Prospects wb.atever,.of
a vote being reached.
In the House at effort Was made to' pass re
solutions nrphibiting officials from receiving,
presents from clerks,but it was,after astruggle,
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
I Correspondence of the Asaociated Prees3
WAFJII2.it:TON, Jan. 13.—A report of the
operations of the detaehment of the Fifth
Cavalry operating in the Eighth District of
Virginia shows that forty-nine Bildt distil
leries have been visited, twenty-two stills des
troyed, and twenty gallons of brandy seized,
four hundred gallons of low wine destroyed,
and twenty-five men arrested, during . a raid
upon' illicitrdistilleries lasting forty-sm days ;
during which, over a thousand, miles- were
traveled by the cavalry. Collector Henderble,
of the Eighth District, feels that the raid has
done much good and been of great service to
the district. He says that many of the worst
characters and the most open violators of the
Internal Revenue have been. arrested.. The
results show that no other course could have
been pursued by the government which would
be beneficial both asa warning to those who
resist the, law and as a mode of collecting the
taxes from the.men who have resisted.
Mr. Davis, a sugar-refiner of Philadelphia,
bad a long interview with the Committee of
Ways and Meaos, this morning, on the .sub
ject of re-classifying sugars, and making a yet
more refined qualification. The complaint is
that partially refined sugars from the West
Indies are imported as raw sugars, thus com
ing into cumpetition with American sugars,to
the detriment of our manufacturers. There
seems to be an inclination in the., Committee
to reduce duties on all sugars.
The committee have agreed to change the
duties on lutuber from ad valoi.cm to specific
duties, retaining substantially the present
duty.
The committee will probably not report a
tariff bill for a month to come.

•.j THE COURTS.
luteresting Case Under the Revenue
Laws.
U. S. DisriCT Cot:Er —Judge Cadwalader.—
The case of George Doll, of the firm of Geo.
Doll & Co., importers of fancy goods,heard on
writ of &thefts corpus to be discharged 'from
arrest because 'ot a refusal to deliver his books
to the .Asimssor,was heard this morning. Mr.
Sharplessifor the defendant,made thefollowing
points,which are of interest to, every merchant:
First—That the 116th section of the act of
June :10th, 1864, under which the income tax
is levied, is unconstitutional and void, as un
dertaking to levy a capitatioi, or at all events
a direct tax, by the rule of unifOrmity and not
that of apportionment., -
;Suomi—That so much of the 14th section of
the same act as invests the Assessor with
power to compel a citizen who has once made
his return of income under oath, to produce
his books and give evidence in regard
to the same after its correctness has
been challenged by the officer, is unconstitu
tional and void, as infringing Upon the provi
sion of art. sth, Amendments of 1789, Constitu
tion of the United States:—" Nor shall any
person * * be compelled in any crimi
nal case to be witness against himself."
i Third—That the power sought to be con
ferred upon the Assesemr by the last section is
really the "judicial power of the United
States," which, by the Constitution, can only
be exercised by Judges bolding_ their offices
for the term of !rood behavior, and not by
officers who are reniovable_at .any moment,
probably at the discretion of the President, cer
tainly at that of the President and Senate.
Fe urth—Thatthe'proceedings authorized by
the same section are an infringement of the
citizen's constitutional right of trial by a jury
in every criminal case., The. Federal Legisla
ture cannot create a new criminal offence un
known to the common law or our statute
law at the time of the adoption of the Con
stitution, and which was not thenunishable
summarily by " attachment as fo p r a con
tempt," and provide for its ascertainment and
punishment now by any other than the or
dinary machinery of a trial by jury at com
mon law.
Fifth—The extraordinary remedies provided
by th,e same section are netlo be used in re
asst*sing income duties • if there is occasion to
re-assess them it is to be done under the 118th
section of the same act, which contains no pro
vision for an attachment as for a contempt."
the live preceding points are de
cided against us, the procettlikki here are so
radically defective and hopelessly incurable
that the relator must lie discharged.
At the close of the argument the Judge,
without hesitation,discharged Mr. Doll.
QUARTER SESSIONS—Judge Peirce.—The
case of S M. Landis, charged with publishing
obscene books, is still before the court, coun
sel being engaged in the argument.
