DoGs.--The bill recently offered in the
House of Delegates of the District of
Columbia relative to the canine species
recognizes them as property and fixes
tax of not less than 81 annually upon
them. The owners are allowed to place a
valuation upon each dog, and an additional
tax of one per centum is to be imposed
and collected upon said valuation. No dog
is to be allowed to run at large or without
his owner having him in charge; and in
case of failure Of the above any officer or
citizen may mpound him in some suitable
place, and advertise the same in one Of the
principal papers of the city.
Persons owning said dog, which shall
have been impounded, If he or she can be
ascertained, shall be fined not less than
five dollars for allowing said dog to run at
large, the dog to be recovered OH payment
of fine and expense of advertising.
llarboring, or secreting, OF OBTAINING
dogs which may be found running at large
shall be punished according to the laws Of
petit or grand larceny, as the valuation Of
the dog shall warrant OF permit.
The owners Of dogs have the privilege of
showing that any dog imponnded or found
astray was not so astray habitually, but
by accident, and in such cases it shall be
discretionary with the court, when said
proof is sufficient, TO remit the fine.
Cannot our city fathers get an idea or
two from the above which will enable them
to give US such an ordnance as will rid this
city Of the many thousands of worthless ours
that 60 from year to year unlicensed? It is
very evident that the present dog ordinance
is either Ineffective or very poorly executed.
Let us have it patched up at once and en-
forced in the most vigorous manner.

The Supreme Conrt Of Illinois has given two
additional opinions confirming and illustrating
the practical workings Of what is known as the
Married Woman's act Of 1869, by which married
women became entitled to separate estates and
separate earnings. In ono case an action was
brought against married woman for the en-
forcement Of contract which she had made,
and the only error found in the case was that the
action waz<based upon the fact that the contract
Was made in Iowa, where, under tho laws Of that
State, a married woman had right to contract
separately, and was Liable to the extent Of her
separate property and earnings. The Court hold
that the woman should have sued under the
laws of this State, which also declare
married wonan's right to separate earnings
and her individual liability under contract.
Another case illustrated more clearly the opera-
ton Of the present law as compared to the law
previous to the enactment OF the statute OF
1869. A woman Was made party to suit for
the recovery Of debt from her husband, and it
has been hold that her earnings, and the prop
erty that she held in her name which was in
reality her husbands all prior to tho act Of 1869,
must be held IS belonging to her husband and
liable for his debts. This decision serves to ahow
what radical change was madeiu the condition
Of married womon's estate in the eyes Of the
Iaw BY the passage OF the statute Of 1869.

Nr. Il. @. Burchard, member Of Congress-
from this State, has published in the Warren
Sentinel . letter in explanation Of bis action
with regard to the Incrcase-of-salary bill. Mr..
Burcbard opposed the 11ucrease-of-salary amend
ment. He thought that member Of Congress
could live in Washington upon the pay and mile
age, though he could not save ANYTHING. Even
il the pay WAS not adequate, be preferred not to
vote an increase OF his own compensation for the
term for which he had been elected. Mr. Bur-
chard failed to geo any distinction between voting
an increase Of pay for past services and voting
IN increase of pay for new term to which
he had been already elected. He there
fore voted against the increase in both
cases. He considers that the man who cannot
conscientiously accept the increased pay for the
last Congress- cannot do so for tho next Con-
gress, when elected before the passage OF tho
bill He proposes to hold the Increased pay
due him for the last Congress until the next
Congress shall have determined what it will do
upon the subject. Il the next Congress shall
, 1873-04-29

repeal the increase salary, then he will decline
the increase for the last Congress-. Should the
new Congress, however, refuse to repeal the in
crease pay, then Mr.. Burchard proposes to accept
tho increase for tho last Congress-, considering
his services (hreo aessions) during the last
two years deserving of as much compensation as
will those for tho coming two years when there
will be but two sessions. The act OF Congress
increasing the pay Of members to 57,500 per
year makes tho compensation payable monthly
from the 4th Of March, 1873. When Congress
meets in December noxt, each member Will have
drawn nine months pay at that rate. Having
drawn the compensation at the increased rate, it
is not likely that they will voluntarily vote to
refund it. It may, therefore, be considered
that the pay Of members Of Congress for the
two years just begun will continue to be at the
.
advanced rate, and, consequently, hIr. BurcheId
will retain tho extra pay received for his services
in tho last Congress-.

purpose Of securing a class representative on
the Bench. Reduced to these proportions, the
movement which tho Princeton Convention WAS
first called to represent is entirely unworthy
Of serious consideration, and. it it shall
carry out the plan - for which it was
originally called, it will fail to secure the CO.
operation OF the voters Of the district. The
movement met with serious check when the
lawyers Of Judge Lawrence's district made
practically unanimous call upon him to be can
ddate for ro-election. A still more serious dltt1-
Guilty has presented itself in the unwiuingness OF
every lawyer in the district Of standing ana
ability to oppose himself as class candidate 10
Judge Lawroncea reelection. The undesirable
ness Of such position boforo the public will un-
doubtcdly induce every respectable lawyer OF
ability to decline the candidature, as it has
already induced several "to do. Judge
Leland and Judge Dickoy have been the
most prominent gentlemen. named IN
connection with the Princeton nomination. It
seems to be generally understood that Judge
Dickey would not accept it. Judge Leland has
explicitly declined it in letter addressed to the
Farmers Club OF Grundy County. In declining
it, be made statement to which the Princeton
Convention will do we'll to give its earnest con-
sidoration. II think" Gays Judge Leland,
"that any body Of men, whether lawyers or
farmers, has the right to express preference
for any person who could, with propriety, be q
candidate for place on tho Bench, provided
they ask nothing OF him, and expect nothing OF
him, except that he will declare what he honestly
believes to be the law, regardless of popular
c1amor and OF al consequences personal to him
SELF" This is very different purpose from that
for which the Princeton Convention was origi-
nally called. Il this convSption shall
adhere to its original purpose Of nomi-
mating class candidate, who shall virtually
commit himself to any interest regardless OF the
law, it will be simply impossible for it to find
proper man who will accept tho nomination. II
the genuine sentiment Of the farmers Of honesty
and Intelligence could be expressed IN this Con-
yentlon. it would undoubtedly indorse tho su-
promo Court as it now stands, and adjourn with
out nominating, or it would approve the candi-
dature Of Judge Lawrence. If tho porverso
course Of putting up Il class candidate shall pre-
will, there will be no other result from it than
pornicious precedent, not likely. however, to DO
followed again-of endeavo1ing to predeternine
the judicial action OF Supreme Court Judge.

Taintor, the defaulting Cashier Of the Atlantic
Bank, appeared in court yesterday without
back to Ludlow Street Jail to await his trial.
The opinion grows in New York that his
story is not to be believed, and that.
instead Of having lost the money in unfortunate
stock speculations running for years, he has
stolen it, and that within q fow days. The bsuk
was examined in February and October, 1872,
and nothing out Of the way discovered further
than that it's capital was much impaired. It was
forbidden to declare any dividends. 1t has been

equivalent to formal notification to him that
stealing would commence as soon as they ar
rived on the ground; and, in connection with
the American Minister, he should have been On
the alort to check it at tho very outset, and thus
have saved the country from the disgrace which
has beon fastened upon 1t.
The results Of all this miserable business are,
that the American Department is in Complete
muddle that the list OF American exhibitors
and the allotments OF space to them are not
forthcoming that the new Board OF Commits
sioners Gun do nothing, as they are hampered by
the old Board, who denyth right Of the Minister
at Vienna to suspend them that the people and
press OF Vienna are disgustod with Americans
generally; and that the American name has
suffered an indclible disgrace. There is q grim
sort OF hu1nor in the statement Of
the Vienna Free Press, after it was found
that the money was accepted by tho Commits
house: "Th6y thus exhibit the fruits Of that in
stitution." It ia q bitter joke, however; joke
which will make every American in Vienna, who
has any seK-respoct, hang his head in shame.
The disgraceful scandal is now the common talk
in London, Vienna, Paris, and Berlin. The dis
gust Of Europeans will be harder for sensitive
American to face than city full Of sporadic
cholera. It is bad enough to indulge our cor
ruptions at homo, but to attend festival Of all
our neighbors, and take them with US, and open
~ faunt them in their faces, is simply intoler-
eb1o.
