s5r. 11ullln and the Dog Tax.

In compliance with the request Of our es-
teemed neighbor, A. c. Mullin, Esq, we
publish on our first page, a communication
from him, with regard to the dog tax
Want of room prevented Us from publishing
it last week. Mr.. Mullins statements with
regard to the passage of the law for levy
ing and collecting this tax by the LegisIa>
ture last winter, are doubtless correct To
crr is human, and under the facts as stated
by him, we think no censurc should be at
tached 70 him for the form in which the Act
was passed. He was perfectly right in ex>
TIeining the matter to his late constituents
but with this he should have stopped
It was wrong in him, in Penuing his com
fEunication, to attempt TO throw the censure
which re says has been cast upon him bv
portion Of the community with regard 10
this famous law, (Which turns out to be no
law after ALL On % the shoulders Of the
County Commissioners, who knew nothing
about it until it arrested their attention in
glaDcing over the e. Pamphlet Laws" Of the
last session. We don't know how 1t was
with regard TO Mn Lloyd, but We have
heard the two gentlemen, who were his
colleagues on the County Beard at the time.

passage, TO cause tax on dogs to be as,
sessed, levied and collected. In underta-
king to do This. they supposed they were
faithfully discharsjng a portion of their du.
ties as conscientious public officers. they
did not, as we have already stated, at the
time. entertain even suspicion that the
Act was a nulIity on the statute books.
We have made this statement of facts
without the request OF even the knowledge
OF the parties concerned, merely because we
are unwilling that any man or men. shall
be unjustIy censured through our columns
We lay all the facts before the the public
IN order that they may correctly decide a.
to who is. and who is not to blame in This
matter
Ifthere Is an individual in Cambria ccuntv
Justly censurable for the passage of the doc
law, or its nullity, the people certainly pos
sess the right to say to Mr Mullin as Nathan
said to David thou art the man. If tn.
Sovereigns" should conclude to refer the
decision of the matter to us. we would say
to Mr MulIin, " Go in peace; we hold vou
guiltless. But hereafter when responsibility
Is to be met do not shirk 1t. but face it Iik,
