year 1870. His personal taxes, those
charged in his name, Of 5000, Ma
Evans says ho had overlooked and
had not thought of, and which he
has paid since. There arc still, how
ever, some taxes Of McCully Il Evans
unpaid, which we understand Mr.,
Evans considers himself liable for,
and these arc for the year 1869, and
be says tho county is still indebted
TO him, which will be passed upon at
the next session of the Board, when
he says he will pay the balance he
considers himself bound for.
We do not wish TO bo understood
as attacking Mr.. Evans credit. We
believe, so far as we know, that he
meets his obligations TO his fellow
mon withroasonabso promptncss, anu
we published what we did, in regard
to his taxes, in political sense in re-
ply to his attack upon u candidate
on the county republican ticket, aud
as touching the political question Of
letrenchment and reform, aud for no
other reason, having no wish and no
desire TO injure his credit, which at
this time we believe is as good us the
average run.

MAD HoRsE.-Last night about I:
o'clock, Andy Peck discovered one
of horses that had broken loose run
ing distractedly around the stable
frothing at the mouth and biting al
everything in his reach. He was
caught and securely tied, aud DR..
Griiiee administered chloroform 10
him, but without effect, the horse
still continuing to bite and snap at
everything within reach until finally
his feet were tied, and no was thrown
down. Five Ii of chloroform wore
administered to him but produced no
visible effect, and tho horse died
about 10 o'clock this morning. Mr..
Peck has no knowledge Of his ever
having boon bitten by a dog, but it
was clear to all who seen the horse
that he had hydrophobia, in its most
malignant form.
If 1899 of the 200Oor more worth
less dogs that are in town were Kill
led, 1t would be a blessing to every.
body, and the sooner dog ordinance
requiring owners of dogs to pay tax
for them, or have them killed, is
passed, the better for all concerned.

THE cHILIlcorHE DISCUSSION.

This meeting had rather a slim
attendance. Il appeared that the
notice was not well circulated. 1t
seems Peter G. Ballingall, after
the Legislative candidates had made
their half hour speeches, he having
the closing speech, undertook to
dismiss the meeting, and did nctual-
ly announce the meeting closed, as
his half hour expired. This was q
sly trick of Peters, totally unwar
ranted; as his colleague, Cloyd, ex.
pressed it, "entirely wrong, and
contrary to the agreement" The
fact was, Peter had a lame duck rec
ord that he did not want attacked
Peter was very demonstrative in the
course of his remarks, using such
strong expletives as the following
saying in regard to his not having
| paid his taxes for improvements il
this city of some $500: That "it
is God d I'D lie." And agar
speaking on the question Of a Pro
tective Tariff in his speech at Chris
tainsburg, he said"auy man who is il
favor of Protective Tariff is a Goo
id fool" Peter ought tt
shut down on the brakes. Sucl
| strong language Is not pleasant Of
| agreeable to the ears of some OF hit
listeners. After Peters dismissal O.

take Off some half dozen democrats
Lotspeich got in bis half hour, and
