Mitchell 4 Lynde's Taxes

Mr. p L. Mitchell called on US this
morning to explain why he and Mr.. Lynde
have not paid all their taxes. They have
paid all but the bank taxes, and they
resist the payment Of that tax, because
they claim that it is an illegal tax. Capt.
Robinson does the same thing. j. NJ.
Gould, C. W Lobdell, and all the bankers
in the county do the same thing. All the
banks in the State are in the same fix. \
case has been in the judicial mill in Chica-
90 for some time and all the bankers are
awaiting the result Of that case. We have
no fault to find with this. These gen.
tlemen have a perfect right, under the
law TO resist the payment of any tax which
they consider illegal They are doing ex-
actly what we would do under the same
circumstances. The court will pass upon
the questions in due time.
The only point we make in the matter is
this 1t does not become persons. to find
fault with Bailey Davenport for resisting
the collection of what he considers an ille-
gal tax, while they are doing exactly the
same thing. That's all the point we make,
and we reckon the public will regard that
as a rather strong point.

Destruction of a Mineral Cabinet

About the middle of March, Mylo Lee
broke open five or six boxes, marked VIM.
5. Thomas, which were stored in the Ar
gillo Works, and contained meteorological
and geological specimens which Mr.
Thomas had been over 25 years in collect
ing, from different parts Of the United
States, and caused them to be thrown out
in the mud, in the road Each specimen
was labeled, numbered, and the name and
locality marked thereon. Mr.. Thomas
sued Mr.. Lee for damages, and the case
was decided by iury,in the Circuit Court,
this week, the jury acquitting Mr.. Lee on
the ground that he did not know that they
were valuable. 1t is believed that Mr..
Lee had some personal feeling against Mr..
Thomas, who was formerly a stakeholder
in the pottery and the specimens were
stored there during his ownership. 1t
would seem that, if Mr. Lee wanted them
taken away, he should have notified Mr..
Thomas to remove them-but this he did
not do. The specimens were very valua-
bic, and were especially priced by Mr.. T.
who had expended great labor in collecting
and preserving them 1t may be that Mr..
Lee did not know they were valuable--at
any rate that is the ground on which he got
clear. IF ignorance is bliss, It's folly to
be WISE"

Considerable talk has been had, and
considerable complaint made in some guar
tiers over what has been termed the ex-
cessiye fine recently imposed by Judge
Hopkins on one James Smith, who was in
dicted for selling liquor, and also for keep

the facts Of the case are. that Smith plead
guilty to both. indictments In the first
there were twenty counts, foras many differ

Stole a Watch.

1t is not long since young man, who OF
late years has become almost wreck from
the effects of liquor, and who has been a
mine of trouble to the police, was dis
charged from jail Mike O'Kelly didn't
seem to appreciate his opportunities for
reform, and about the first thing he did
was to commence his old tricks. He play
ed a very serious one yesterday.
Roaming along Front street, he
fell in with young man named Owen
Riley, from Port Byron, stranger in the
city, Mike commenced talking kindly to
him, and Riley and he adjourned to a
saloon on Third street, east of Perry. Ri
ley called for the drinks several times,
and when the paying time came he didn t
have any money. Then Mike, in an &C.
centric fit, took Riley out, searched his
pockets, and finding no money, took his
watch out Of his pocket Riley was a
small, weak man, and consequently could
not oppose force to force; but he swore
out complaint, and Officer Kessler ar
rested Mike. The watch could not be
found, he having sold it for $3.50 The
offender was brought before Justice Kauf-
mann this morning, on a charge of steal
ing from the person, and bound over to
the District Court under $500 bail Oar.
