not the least, was occasioned by COM
plant made to the grand juror of the
town by one Carlos Martin, against eleven
keepers of dogs who had not procured a
license, The prosecution of the parties
complained Of WAS delayed for n few days
after the complaint was made, and before
proceedings were taken against the dog
owners they appeared ut the town clerks
office and procured licenses. Meantime,
the excitement run very high-knots of
men gathered on the streets and at public
places discussing the dog question, as
but four or five dog owners had taken out
II license before the first day of April, ac-
cordns to the requirements of the law,
and it was generally supposed that some
fifty men of the town would be brought
before the justice, and be required to pay
fifteen dollars and costs. In consequence
of this construction of the law the whole
theme of discussion in the aforesaid places
was not merely confined to the owners of
dogs, but it was of vital importance to
the whole town, as many owners of dogs
were not able to pay fines and costs, and
few could see no other result. if pro-
ceedings were instituted against them.
and the letter of the law put ln force,
than that they were TO take up lodgings at
Dudley's hotel, and their families become
a town charge. That was not pleasing
outlook for the victims nor for the burden
ed taxpayers Of the town. Thus matters
stood for several days, and as the day of
trial drew near there was no abatement of
the excitement. On the day of trial the
grand juror, States Attorney Plumley and
the chairman of the selectmen put In an
appearance. and after mature deliberation
concluded to stay the proceedings. to the
satisfaction of large majority of the

WASHING a..N LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. g.,
Dec. 5, 70.

DtC. u, 20.
The House on yesterday, the second
day of the se sion, passed two nppr
priation hills-lhe Fertilization bill
amounting to WE, 900, the same as
last year, and the " est Point bill,
amounting to about $3OO.OW. There
was no opposition and but little dis
russiou. The Appropriation Commit
tee will have its bills ready as last as
the House can lake cure OF them. On
the larger one there will Of course be
debate; but everything so lar Indicates
u working rather than talking ses
sion. Even Senator Blaine's bun
combe resolution as to the intimida
ton of voters, which comes up to-day.
will probably pass with little or no
discussion, The Democrats will at.
tempt to secure amcndnaenfs, but seem
disposed not to insist on them. Sena-
tor Thurman and perhaps one South
ern Senator will make short speeches.
Many bills on financial subjects have
been presented, but it hecomes clearer
every day that none Of them will ever
receive consideration until after the
fixed day for resumption-Janusly lst.
Secretary Sherman prepared and
had submitted to the House and: Sen
ate the bills providing for the issue BY
Government Of certificates tor $40 and
larger amounts, bearing interest at
3 Is per cent. and convertible within a
year into 4 per cent bonds. This will
have the earnest support of Secretary
sberman and other members OF the
Cabinet.
The interest of yesterday session
was almost entirely confined to the
speech of Senator Stanley Matthews
in support of the bill in ali Of the
Texas L. Pacific Railroad. G4. Mat
.hews Is q pleasant speaker, had sub
