The New ASSESSMENT LAw.-Goy-
ernor Groome, Comptroller Woolford and
others were in consultation on Tuesday
night at Barnum's Hotel Baltimore, in
reference to the defective assessment law,
with view Of presenting test case for
the decision Of the appellate court.
The Baltimore Gazstte Of Thursday
says The error in the Assessment bill
was before the Superior Court Of Baltimore
yesterday, on an application for man
damus to compel the Assessors to proceed
with their duties under the provisions Of
the new Assessment and Revenue acts,
By agreement between the parties the writ
was ordered pro fcrnla by Judge Dobbin,
and the case now goes to the Court Of
Appeals for final decision as to the con-
struction to be given to the law in question.

FALsEHooD ExPosED.-Two false char.
ges, circulated to the prejudice of the
Democratic party in this State, have re-
Gently been exploded One was the story
Of afraad, violence, and intimidation at
the polls, at the recent election in Prince
Georges county. The other was the
charge of fraud and ballot-box stufing
against the register and judges Of election
in the Sd district Of Anne Arundel eoun-
ty. The trial in this case recently came
to naught in the q. S. District Court, not
outstanding the array of 2ss witnesses.
When these charges we're first published
in the Republican journals. we really
thought there might be something in them,
but time has demonstrated that they were
Infamous falsehoeds, promulgated for par
~ effect or through partisan malice.

The law Il claimed BY It's yoiaries TO be
she perleetloa Of human reason, and yet,
ii man be indicted for stealing horse,
sed i appears. op trial, that the animal b
4 gelding, The indictment is quashed, and
the thief goes unwhipt Of justice through
legal bubble Such qaIbbleaare nothing
short of disgrace TO the Intelligence Of
she age, although they may be in accord
Aose with the statute in such case made
and provided. As well might thief es-
cape through a legal bubble Of this sort,
for stealing an animal whose ears had been
cropped, Or whose tail had been locked,
because, forsooth, the stolen animal, IN
stsad If being horse, was only part Of
. horse. But, such is law, 'the perfection
ofhuman reason. Some ''learned" block
head, once upon time, framed such a
law or rendered such decision, the de-
elsion became precedent" and great IS
the respect for precedents, among those
who are 'learned in the law Hence,
hoary error and ridiculous nonsense, if
found in ''the books" is dug out from un-
der the cobwebs and dust Of centuries, and
handed down by eminent jurists, as in very
truth, part and parcel Of that amcst per-
feet branch Of ethics" the law. Such
sbings arc casting ridieule upon the legal
profession, because their absurdity is read
~ discerned by all men, except those
sIleaFned in the law Horse is generic
term, and n its common acceptatiOn, is
wen understood not to relate to the ass or
to any other species Of the genus equus, or
to any other quadruped but the term IS
not enact enough for the science Of juris-
prudence, which demands something more
than the ordinary common sense accepta-
ton and understanding Of words; they
must be nicely, scrupulously, critically ex-
act, although no other meaning, as in the
case mentioned, could be drawn from them.
The distinction, we are told, between horse
and gclding is generally made in England,
from which country we got our system Of
jurisprudence. Only one State South
Carolina--if our information is correct,
has decided, through her courts, that a
mare is horse, but this decision does not
meet the case Of gelding. Suppose a
mare which had been emasculated should
be stolen, how would the indictment read
in that caseg Would the term gelding
cover the case, or would bubble set the
thief at liberty2 What say ''the books"
on this point, do they point the way out
Of such difficulty, or are they silent?

They have a stock association at Mid

bletonian horses The association owns a
fine stallion for which they paid $4,000.
There are two fine half-mile tracks in the
vicinity on the farms of gentlemen of the
association, and there are some horses in
the neighborhood that can "go." The
common roadsters there are not much val
ued unless they can go their twelve miles
an hour. But, their roads are broad, and
as level as a park drive.

FIsHIso.-We understand that consider.
able number OF FISH were taken in q net from
the pond Of A. Winters, Esq, near this city,
recently, some Of which weighed from two to
three poundseach, but that they were not bass,
according TO the statement Of the person who
caught them. BE represented them as ex-
eeedingly active, leaping out of the net, at
times, so that ii was difficult to secure them.
This is peculiarly Of the bass, and leads to
the conclusion that they were some Of the lot
deposited in that pond BY Col. VIM. A. Nc.
kellip, less than two years ago, and which, it
was hoped, would remain there, undisturbed,
and be allowed to increase and stock the
stream with pan fish. We understand Il is
Mr.. Winters determination to allow no one
to fish in that pond, without his permission,
and permission will only be given to those
who wish to take them in order to transfer
them to other waters.
