The Docs. - New York city at
present is very much excited on the
subject of dogs, and a city ordi-
nance directs the impounding Of all
unmuzzled dogs, running at large,
and if net redeemed in forty-eight
hours, to be sufocated in watts Of car
bonic acid gas. A reward of fifty
cents is also paid for each dog cap
tured. The city papers and the phi
lanthropist Bergh unite in denouncing
the ordinance as offering premium
to thicying, as we'll as irficting un-
necessary cruelty upon the poor in
offensive brutes. A good tax upon
dogs is suggested as better measure
of prevention. 1t would confne the
ownership of these animals to those
who are able to take care Of them.

Oun Courr. The Extra Yernr o.

OUn CouEr. - The Extra Term of
our Court, appointed for tire disposi-
ton of equity cases, and other mat
tcrs not requiring the aid Of a jury,
was opened here on Monday morning
last, His Honor, Judge Cooke; presf-
ding. His Honor seems determined
to clear the dockets Of his circuit, and
to remove al complaints of the laws
delay. In so doing ho will deserve
the thanks of the country, alike OF
the Bar aud the people. The first
case called was that Of Cromer VS..
Cromcr, which threatens to become
as famous as some Of the old English
cases, and which came up on motion
for new trial, from the verdict Of the
jury allowing alimony, and upon other
matters involving the question of a
proper maintenance. The various
questions were lcarnedly argued by
Mcssra. Perrin e. Cothran for plaintiff,
and Messrs. Burt and Thomson for
defendant. The docket is crowded
one, but will likely be disposed OF
during the week. The Court opens at
10 A. NJ, and closes at P. NJ.

RUNNING FOR OFFICE. - It seems
qnite probable that some of our peo-
pic will 60 crazy in their scramble for
Office this Fall. We think it a ca
lamity for the entire population of
any community to turn out 10 seek
Office. Some people arc determined
to get a little Office at whatever sacri-
fee. When thoy succeed it often
incapacitates them for their ordinary
avocations, by giving them a taste
ior idleness. Energetic and entcrpri-
sing men can make more money at
hard work, and we would suggest
that work is a more constant and
certain means Of q livelihood.

Death Of an Estimable Young Man

We are panied to announce the
death Of Mr.. J Frank johnson, a
clerk of Messrs. Wardlaw & Edwards
Of our town, after q short illness,
OF congestion of the brain, on the
night of Wednesday, the 17th inst,
in tho twenty-ffth year of his age.
He was taken sick here about week
before his death, and went out to his
fathers, Maj. i. J. Johnson, where
his symptoms becoming: worse,
he sank very rapidly. lie had for
four or five years been resident of
our town, and in that time had secur-
ed tho unlimited confidence Of his
employers, and the love and respect
of a largo circle of acquaintances.
OF high integrity, good judgment,
untiring industry, and purc morals,
he was q model Of what q young
man should be. We ourselves can
bear testimony to his high character
and many excellencies. He will be
very much missed by his employers
and friends, but especially in that
home circle Of domestic love, where
he was best known and cherished.
He was buried at Sharon church on
the following day, and the funeral
services were conducted in the pres
cnce of large concourse of friends
by tho Rev. J. T. Gilbert, who made
some very feeling and touching re-
marks on the occasion. Several OF
his young friends from our town
were present with him in his last ill,
ness, and paid the last sad rites to
his memory. As a tribute to bis
memory the store Of Messrs. Ward.
law & Edwards was closed for the
day.

The Mandamus Case.

The mandamus case, brought to
compel Treasurer Cardozo to issue
certificates Of indebtedness in pursu-
iance of the Act of the Legislature,
was taken up on Friday last before
tho Supreme Court. Various claims
amounting to over $4,000 were rep,
resented by Messrs. Rion, G. D. Mel
ton, Dunbar & Whipper, and the
Treasurer by the Attorncy-General
Melton, and Messrs. Chamberlain and
Elliott. In the argument for the
claimants it was contended that the
Courts cannot 60 behind the Act OF
the Legislature TO determine whether
the claim be fraudulent or not, and
also these certificates Of indebtedness
lack tho chief characteristic Of a bill
of credit, inasmuch as they are not q
circulating medium. The proceed
ings arc watched with great interest,
especially by members, attaches and
employees sof tho Legislature, and
fears are expressed that an adverse
decision will lead to an extra session
of tho Legislature. From that ca,
lamity wo trust that we may be
spared.
The following summary of tho con-
cIusions presented in Mr.. Chamber
lain's able argument against tho issue
of the certificates of indebtedness,
we clip from the PhGai1:
"The certificates Of indebtedness
now demanded are all manifest at'
front to the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States and Of this State. If they
were free from any suspicion OF ex-
travagancc or fraud; if they were
authorized to be issued to support the
most sacred charities Of the State, or
or to keep open tho public schools,
this Court would be compelled to for.
bid their issue. They arc one and
all "bills of credit" and they cannot
be issued in any emergency or tor
any purpose. They are likewise to
be redeemed out of taxes specially
levied for other and different objects,
ann a violation Of Section 4 of Article
TX of the State Constitution. They
are also an infraction of the 10th
Section of Article TX Of the State
Constitution, which forbids the issue
of certificates, except to redeem. other
evidences of State Indebtedness
Speaking for. the Treasurer, he said

THE RIGnTs OF THE PREss.-Our
leading Journals are denouncing the
provisions of two bills which have
passed the Senate, and which if they
become laws will very materially
affect the privileges of the press.
The first authorizes suits to be brought
anywhere in the United States by
serving process upon an agent of the
paper, where the Defendant is un-
known and may be entirely in the
power of the plaintiff. The other
bill requires the prepayment of pos
tage on newspapers at the ratc Of
four cents per pound.
