A TRUMPED UP CAsE.-W. E. Percival was
brought before the municipal court at Augusta,
yesterday, charged with an unlawful attempt
to influence George f. Austin and Charles E.
N. Williams by the offer of ten dollars apiece
to vote the Republican ticket at the next cleo
tion. Williams and Austin both testified to
the offer, but itappeared that Austin has no
legal residence in Augusta, SO that he has no
vote to sell, and as the law requires the evil
dence of two witnesses, Williams testimony
could not be received alone. The defendant
was accordingly discharged. Mr.. Percival was
put upon the stand, and testified in his own
defence that the conversation, SO far as it was
truly reported, was not intended seriously.
Samuel Berry, an Augusta Democrat, would
have gone to Jail few days ago, in default of
payment of $685. overdue taxes, but the money
was advanced by some of his party friends.
Mr.. Cromwell of Berwick was the man who
paid the money, but in this case it isn't bribe-
ry, of course not.

The NKunicinas Taxes

The tax bills for the coming year have just
been sent around to the people, being due and
payable on the first of November. The amount
thus payable is to cover the expenditures of the
year.
In England the taxes ale paid by instalments
quarterly, much more convenient mode, it
seems to me, than ours. have reason to know
that many of our people. perhaps most Of them,
find it inconvenient, some of them find it hard,
to pay the whole tax at one time. who would
not be incomInoded much if they could pay
one-third or one-half. with an interval Of two
or three months before the remainder should
be due.
/ do not see that it would incommode the
city government in any way if this plan was
adopted, and am sure it would give great sat-
isfacton to the people. What objection can
there be to it? n. ID.
