The QUESTION Of the authority oil the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue to trans
fer supervisors from one district to another
has been raised In certain quarters, ana IL 10
held that such a right does not exist In law
The act distinctly authorizes that the
Commissioner "may appoint not exceeding
twenty-five officers, to be called supervisors
of Internal Revenue, each one of whom shall
be assigned to designated territorial dis
trlct, to be composed Of one or more judicial
districts and territories"
Commissioner Delauo has no doubt as to
his authority, and II any supervisor would
like to make test case he can have the OPP
portunity by refusing TO obey the order trans
ferring him from one district to another.

are firm In their loyalty TO him and his
cause, and will maintain their present posi-

words, Is as long as they desire to do 50; and
that they are confident Of forcing the Brazil

New CASTLE CoURT. Little of interest
to the general reader has transpired since
our last report. On Tuesday the Grand
Jury was discharged. They found 259

ing been entered for the State, by Deputy

ing committed the act
To the first indictment he plead not
guilty, and having no counsel the Court
assigned Samuel NJ. Harrington, Esq to
conduct the case for him. Upon the in
dictment for the attempt, Luton pleaded
guilty. The Court sentenced him to pay
fine of $500, on Saturday next to stand
in the pillory one hour, be whipped with
thirty lashes, and imprisoned two years.
The following persons were whipped by

following score
Middletown transcript., 1869-05-22

The above estimate does not include the
number of baskets which will be shipped
by water, which has been put down at
4OO, 900 to 500, 900, making the aggre-
gate about 1900, 900. 90
Hon. b. 7. Biggs being called on for
an estimate of the crop accessible to rail-
road in Queen Anne's and Kent counties,
responded by saying, that he was not a
member of the Association, but as he had
been called on he would say that the num-
Der of baskets from Masseys Cross Roads
might be estimated at 1000, and from
sudlersville at So, 900, providedt the Queen
Anne's and Kent Railroad could be COM
pleted to that point in time. 1t was sta
ted that Mr.. Gerker, of Moorton, esti-
mates his crop alone at rs 900 baskets.
1t was estimated that the freight paid to
the Rail Road on the peach crop would
amount to $500, 900, and this amount is
realized in about six weeks.
The large number of baskets reported
at Townsend is accounted for by that nlace
being the junction of the Kent and Queen
Anne's County Railroad. The number is
increased at Clayton by the Maryland and
Delaware, and at Seaford by the Dorches
ter and Delaware Railroad.
The various committees of the associa
tion were continued to complete their az
rangements, and on motion the associa-
ton adjourned to meet at Dover on the
third Tuesdaysof June:

The PROPOSED METHODIST UNION. The
proposed union between the Methodist
Episcopal Church and the NJ. E. Church,
South, has been respectfully declined by
the latter. The correspondence between
Bishops James and Simpson, in behalf of
the M. E. Church, and Paine and McTye-
ire, in behalf of the Church South, has
just been made public. The reply of the
latter, while duly unctious and brotherly,
is nevertheless somewhat racy. 1t is a
clever specimen of telling one :" his own, +"
in kind and afectionate way, and is wor-
thy of being read as a model of polite but
pungent repartee.
