WAR TO THE SHEARs.-Hostilities
broke out at the Capitol yesterday
morning about 10 O'Clock, the casus
belli being the Map of the Seat of
War, described by us yesterday. At
the hour named, Mr.. Burlingame,
who was caricatured in the map, met
Theodore A. Hale, Deputy State Con-
t~roller, on the street and asked where
the map was. Hale told him it was at
then told him not to exhibit it again.
Hale replied that he should consult
his WI feelings about the matter.
Burlingame replied that if he exhib-
tied the map again it would be at his
peril-or words to that ~effect-and

cent. Meantime Senator Nye had
called at the Controllers office to see
the burlesque map, but Controller
Hobart could not find it. Shortly af-

DELINQUENT Taxpayers.

Tho following decision of Judge ORR will
prove interesting to delinquent tax payers
who have cost to pay on tax executions issued
against them 1t has been the custom Ia
this County to charge for every levy on such
executions one dollar and fifty cents, and tive
cents mileage from the Court House one
way. This is tho cost allowed to shoritfs by
the fee bill for 1870 Section 100 of the
Act to provide for the assessment and taxa
.ion Of property cnacts that, "The Treasurer
shnll be allowed the same fees and costs for
making distress and sale of property for the
payment of taxes as are, or may be, allowed
70 sherifls or constablcs for making levy and
sale of property on exccu'i Constructing fees
to be computed from the seat of Justice OF
the County to the place Of making distress F."
The Act to regulate fees, so approved March
'1st, 1870, allows to constablcs for each levy,
TO, SO cents, besides mileage and comm's-
sion Of per cent. The same Act allows to
shcriHs for each levy $3.50, besides mileage
and commission. Constituting the two together,
the Judge decided that tho Treasurer was
only allowed the cost Of constable in all
cases where tho amount Of the unpaid taxes
did not exceed S100, for levy and advertise
.ment Of, personal property This will save
to every unfortunate taxpayer on persona
property 81 in cost.

Adjourned on Saturday, tho 18th instant.
In tho Sessions, tho following cases were
heard
John Hawkins. guilty Of petit larccny--

December Gadsdcn, indictment burglary
guilty sentenced to five years il The peui.
teutiary at hard labor.
John Price, indictment murder-found
guilty Of mans!aughter, aud sentenced to two
years in the Peniteutiary at hard labor,
The only important case on the civil side
of the Court, was that of tho State against
the late County Treasurer and his securities
Oh Ills official bond. Preliminary to the
main question Of tho amount Of tho alleged
dedication, counsel for the Defendants sprung
an issue of law on the bond itself, denying
that it was good bond in law. The reasons
assigned are substantially as follows:
First, Because the paper offered as bond
had never been approved by the County Com.
missioncrs, as directed by the 9th clause of
Section l3 of the County Commissioners
Act.
Second, Because the approval by tho At
torney,Gencral was nulity being made in
February, 1860, while the Act authorizing
approval by the Attorney General, if not re-
pealed by the subsequent County Commits
sioners Act expired by it's own Limitation on
the first Of January, 1860.
Third, That if not repealed by Limitation,
the Act authorizing such approval is uncon-
sttutional, relating to more than one subject
Fourth, Thas the bond is void by reason
of not being examined and approved as to
form as required by law.
Lastly, That tits void in not being recorded
in the Office of Nlesnc Conveyance for Oconec
County as required by the Act Of 1870 On
the part of tho surctics it was con,endcd that
compliance with these requirements was an
essential condition to the liability. That
they signed with the belief that the bond
would be properly approved and recorded, and
not being donc they were not liable.
Judge ORR ovcrrulcd the objections, and
sustained the bond as good aud binding on
the parties, without deciding the second and
third grounds of objection. He held that
the requirements of approval, recording, &C.,
were designed to better secure the faithful
discharge of their duties by public officers
and the better to protect public funds. That
the failure to comply with them might result
in public injury by irresponsible sureties be-
ing taken on bonds, but that in no cnsc would
it operate to vacatc the bond or release the
liability Of surctics, when the officer ny
virtue of such bond had been invested with
the Office. The purpose Of the signing BY
the suretics here was to induct SANDERS into
the office Of Treasurer of tho County, and this
had beon effected by the bond in question:
The condition of the bond was, that SANDERS
would faithfully discharge the duties OF
County Treasurer and they, Oh his entering
the Office, became and are liable for any dc
falcaton occasioncd through him. After
this question was settled, an order for iulg
ment was passed for the penalty Of the bond,
(Si0,0O0,) with a right to issue execution
for and collect the sum Of SCOTIA, the
amount in hands of the Treasurer, after al.
lowing all proper credits.
