The New Dog Law.
Tho Lancaster -Wc L'rt has
made the following careful synopsis
of the new dog law. It covers the
State :
The law provides that from and
after its passage, there shall be as
sessed, levied and collected annual
ly in every township and borough ol
the Commonwealth from the owners
of dogs a tax of fifty cents for every
male dog, and ouo dollar lor every
female dog, tho sum to bo collected
with the other township taxes.
These sums shall be paid to the
treasurer of the board of school di
rectors in the different districts,
and shall be kept separate by the
treasurer, so that ho will know how
much has come into his hands from
this source. Has money shall con
stitute a fund from which persons
sustaining loss or damage to sheep
by dogs may be paid for such loss,
along with tho costs necessarily in
curred in establishing their loss
The assessors of every borough am
township shall uunually, wheu niak
ing their other assessments, ascer
tain the number of dogs in their re
spective districts and tho names of
the owners,, and how many of each

commissioners shall annually make

directors of the number of dogs

rectors shall cause the tax to bo col
lected in the same manner as and

plaint before any justice of tho peace,

The announcement that Corporal
Tanner had sent in his resignation
as Pension Commissioner to tho
President was not a surprise to a
majority of tho people. It was
known that the relations existing
between Secretary Noble and the
Commissioner were such thatwouh
certainly bring about such a turn of
affairs in the Pension Office. It
seems that tho most formidable ob
jection raised to the Corporal's ad
ministration of the rencoii-'Office
was his propensity to o entirely
too much talking about what ought
to be and would be done, while he
was Commissioner. His frequent
interviews in regard to the matte
of granting pensions were a little
out of order and very annoying to
the Administration, and to that ami
the policy he pursued can be attri
buted his retirement.
Mr. Tanner's administration of the
Pension Office was favorable to the
soldiers, among w hom ho was very
popular, and many persons charge
his retirement to that fact, more
than anything else. No one ques
tioned or doubted the honesty or
sincerity of the Corporal, and even
tho President himself complimented
him upon being possessed of such
good qualities, yet his official actions
were such that were not strictly in
harmany with tho policy of the Ad
ministration, consequently it was
thought best that he retire, which
he did by sending in his resignation (
at the same time expressing his re
spect for the President and unflinch
ing fidelity to the Republican party.
It is not thought the action will af
fect tho President to any consider
able extent, though a groat deal of
dissatisfaction is ex pressed in Grand
Army Circles. Many of the old sol
diers will 1 egret to hear of the change
in tho Pension Oflice, as they con
sidered that Corporal Tanner was
only doing w hat he thought was just
and fair in regard to the granting of
pensions, and as a matter of course
would rather have seen him retained
in the office..
