The dropping arrangement can be readily
regulated to drop any numoer Of grains
and any quantity Of Fertilizer desired,
with precision and accuracy. The ad-
yantages in painting corn by this Machine
are that the burrows are more uniform,
the eheckering more accurate, and the
corn is dorpped in newly drawn burrows
and covered with fresh earth. with more
uniformity than can be done By manual
work, besides one Machine will do the
work often hands.
We claim specially tor this Machine over

2. The dropping is uniform and checker

and Fertilizer are first dropped upon q
self-acting valve, at the point of the tube,
only several inches from the ground. from
which point it is lnstantaneoRsly dropped

THE CASE OF SHERIFF BRIDGES, OF

The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1875-06-18

The "morbid" sexton of Boston church
who found himself impelled by an irresisti-
BILE higher law" to decoy helpless little
children from their Sunday school into a
high tower and there hideously to slay
them, has, at last, we are pleased to see,
been indicted in a Boston court for the
crime of murder. 1t does not, however,
appear that this scoundrel's predecessor
in aesthetic lnfanticidc, the little monster
Pomcroy, though long ago most justly con
victed and sentenced for the same crime
has yet suffered the; penalty so richly
earned by him. And this makes it,unhap
PLY, doubtful whether the indicted sexton
even if he should be likewise convicted anc
sentenced, will ever get his deserts. While
Boston is building the tombs of the fathers
at Bunker Hill, and singing paans owe
them, it will be as we'll for her to reAec

1t will be remarked that the question
here was not whether taxes mightsbey due

inform the court of the claim. in order that
the court might take such action for the
protection of the rights of the state, as
well as other creditors, as might be neces-
sary. As the property had been returned
to the receiver, no practical question now
existed or would arise unless the attorney
general should desire the court to make
restoration of the property by the receiver
to the sheriff. AS the sheriff acted under
the advice of the Encouragement in max
ing his seizure, it is considered that he has
been sufficiently punished for his so-called
contempt by having been compelled to dis

The president and five members OF the
cabinet are now absent from Washington.
and scattered in diferant directions over
the country. Mr.. Bristow and Mr., Pierre
pont represent what is left Of the admin
istration at the capital, and they both re
turned there last week from Kentucky
and New York.
Don Hamilton Fish, who has persuaded
himself for the third or fourth time not to
resign "at present." is gazetted in the
sboddy court journal as being about to
take up his residence on the Hudson.
Secor Robson takes his family to Rye
Beach now. and will close up the season in
his new cottage at Long Branch, where
six years ago he was glad to find cheap
quarters at second class hotel.
Delano divides the public time between
visits to Mount Vernon, Ohio, and confer
ences with the Indian Ring and other re-
nowned jobbers. Belknap has been flour
ishing at West Point, and is to parade his
maQnifcence in the west during the sum-
mer. Jewell, in lavender kids, is instruct
ing the great straw bidders in Russian Ell
cept to point his cheap reforms.
The president receives double the salary
allowed TO any of his illustrous predeees
sors, and perquisites that exceed that enor
nous pay, which were wholly unknown
before he entered the White House. Yet
it is notorious that he has been absent from
Washington fully half the time since TAX

member of the cabinet. These men are
paid literally to discharge certain duties
and enjoy positions of the highest distic
ton. They are looked up to for example
and advice, but instead of teaching strict
integrity and enforcing discipline and fidel

couraged looseness, relaxed responsibility
and promoted corruption.
The civil service is a mockery and ;
fraud under such conditions. How is i
possible with president who despises hi
own obligations of duty, who junket
around the country at every chance, ant
makes intimate of ring plunderers, L

mates to become anything else than the

JUDGE DRUMMOND ON THE SEIZ-
URE FOR TAXES OF PROPER
TY IN THE HANDS OF A
RECEIVER.
The Tax Contempt,

THE CASE OF SHERIFF BRIDGES, OF
GREEN COUNTY.
The arguments of Attorney General Ed
sail, on the rule calling on Sheriff Bridges,
of Green county, to show cause why he
should not be attached for contempt for
seizing train of cars of the Rockford,
Rock Island and st. Louis Railroad Com
pany, were concluded yesterday before
Judges Drummond and Blodgett.
Judge Drummond, without disposing of
the question, intimated that the question
was whether the right of the state to col
lect taxes on the property of company
which was in the possession of q court was
an exception TO the rule which existed in
all cases which was, that an officer of an
other jurisdiction could not interfere with
the property without the consent of the
court. In other words, did the authority
of the state to collect the taxes supersede
the power of the court in whose possession
the property was for the time being; and
did it stand precisely as if the property
was in the hands OF a party who was per-
sonally liable to pay the taxes?
1t would seem that the power to collect
taxes and to enforce their payment through
the seizure of property, although confess
euly immense, yet without some pr0tec-
tioh to the citizen through the judicial tri-
bunals, it would be an arbitrary power, and
could hardly be said to be consistent with
our notions of a country governed by law.
Accordingly all the laws. both state and
national, upon the subject of the collection
OF taxes gave some protection to the citizen
for the illegal exercise of the power and
tor the imposition and collection of taxes
contrary to law. And it also seemed to be
the question in the present case whether
or not the fact that the property was il
the possession of the court to decide every
claim which there might be upon it, a!
well for taxes as otherwise. before it au
thoriZed its receiver to pay the same. NJ
doubt, in all cases, upon an intimation t.
the court that taxes were assessed and du,
upon the property in its possession it would
direct the payment to be made. 1t would
he the duty of the court to give full effec
10 any paramount claims which the stat
might have for taxes, and as the facts hat
been brought to the notice of the court il
this case that taxes were due, it would di
rect the receiver to pay all such as wer
deemed to be legal. The object of the at
torney general had seemed to be to obtail
