A SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A MAN DANGEROUSLY SHOT AT A SAIL

A MAN DANGEROUSLY SHOT AT A SALE.
The Cecil (Md.) Whig says that a
shooting affray took place at Robinson's
store, in Sasafras Neck, which resulted
in dangerously wounding Thomas Tay-
lor, of Chesapeake City. Taylor was al
a sale at Reynolds farm, and had knock
ed down to him pair of mules. W. j..
Jones, the attorney in charge, learning
that Mr.. Taylor was not altogether re-
sponsible, refused to let him have them.
Taylor charged jeremiah 9. Price with
having prejudiced Mr.. Jones against him
and then uttered threats against Price.
In the evening he met Eugene Price,
son of Jeremiah c., young man at
Robinson's store, attacked him with ours
es and threats. Mr.. Price tried to get
away from him, but he followed him up,
and finally struck him, knocking him
down. He then stood over him in an at
titude as though ready to strike again, as
the young man arose. MIR. Price raised
upon his knees, and while in that posi-
ton drew small pocket pistol and fred
three shots at Taylor, one OF which struck
and penetrated just below the short rib,
one of the other shots slightly wounded a
bystander in the wrist, and the other pass
ed through Mr.. Fred Prices clothes. Tay-
lor is not supposed to be fatally hurt. The
ball remains in him.
FINED FOR DECLINING OFFICE.

than county, against Aron G. Headen
and the basis of the action is that
Headen was elected constable of the
town, and refused to serve Suit was
thereupon instituted against him in q
Justices court to recover $25. the
penalty denounced by Battles Revi-
sal, chapter 8, section 90, against any
person who. being elected or appointed
town constable, &C., shall refuse to
qualify or act. The Justice gave
judgment against the defendant, who
thercupon appealed to the Superior
Csurt, which reversed the action of the
magistrate, giving judgment for the
defendant for costs. The plaintiffs
carried the case to the Supreme Court,
which overruled the judgment of the
Superior Court, giving judgment
against the defendant. So Headen
must pay.

THE BILLS OF THE CITY BEFORE THE
LEGIsLATURE.-There are a number of
bills before the Legislature referring 10
this city. The Democrats object to the
passage of most Of them. They oppose
the bill tor making provision for four as
sessment and collection districts. They
allege that this bill will increase the
offices, and therefore increase the ex-
penses. 1t is very long bill and has not
been printed, or if printed our reporter
has not sent us copy Of it, and there
fore we cannot speak advisedly of its
contents; and it contains great many
sections and provisions. Ono of which
we would advise the adoption of whether
the bill passes or not. 1t is the publica-
ion of the list of delinquent Taxpayers
W ith the amount of Indebtedness. The
City Council advise it and it could be
readily added to the duty of the present
collectors.
We believe with the City Council that
every man ought to pay something toward
maintaining the government of which he
claims to be sovereign and integral part.
The idea of sooereign suffling himself
along without paying, and at the cost of
more honorable men, ought to be often
sive to every high minded man, and can
not be approved by any who do not want
to act In the same way. There are too
many men who try in many ways to
acoid the assessors. Some of these own
property. But when the election comes
round they rail out at the collectors and
also accuse every one in authority, and
make great fuss because they cannot
vote; while nobody is to blame but
themselves, they want to be thought
Uoting patriots; while they know they
have sneakingly avoided the officers and
neglected the first duty of citizen. Let
the names of all delinquent voters be
published as the bill provides and il will
stop these complaints against the officers,
ana De the means OF adding largely to
the revenue from taxes.
The Democrats are opposed to granting
the Council the money to build the reser-
voir, unless Water Commissioners are
appointed. We hold to our opinion
already advanced that we do not need the
reservoir now; and with new pump
which we are told is required, we would
be well provided with water for five years
to come. Hr.
The school bills are also objected to in
many particulars. We have referred to
these heretofore. We do not believe the
Board Of Education should be allowed tc
mortgage the school houses, and if they
are allowed to pay their present debt W.
hope this clause in the bill will be strucl
out.

We again remind our citizens that no
sharp pointed articles must be thrown
