Election at GaitheFsburg On Mon
day the election of town commissioners was
held at Gaithershurg with very little excite
ment at the polls. Many of the candidates
were greatly exercised as to the result aud
considerable .fnesss was displayed There
were seven candidates in the field 7. j Owen,
Fl. G. Ward, ]. B. Gather, W. A. Gloyd S
s. Gloya, Jr., R. A. Burriss aud c. W
Crawford. Messrs. Ward, Crawford, Burriss
and W. A. Gloyd were elected. Mr.. R. G.
Dorsey received a hattering proportion of
votes as a compliment from his friends, though
not an eligible candidate as be had not been a
resident of the corporation the length of
time mentioned in the charter. Messrs. S S.
Gloyd and Jas. B. Gather received an equal
number of votes, and no election between
them. Mr.. E. L. Amiss entered the contest,
but too late to do any effectua canvassing.
Gaithersburg is now fairly started in its
new line of life, and it has our best wishes
and encouragement in its effort to lend to the
progress, usefulness and better government of
our county.

SANDY SPRING, April 18th, 1873
1t has been my misfortune to spend a
considerable amount of money in trying
to get Mower which was in all respects
satisfactory. After using several ma
chimes and seeing several others at work,
| came across the Champion Haymakor,
was SO much pleased with its simplicity
almost noiseless motion, easy drops, &c..
that | determined to purchase one, which
| used the past season in heavy grass,
and can say with an easy conscience that
| believe it is the nearest to perfect of
any Mower in the market.

ROCKVILLE, May 3, rs.
Mr.. Editor The SENTINEL of this date
contains the following local:
"A negro man upon application, one day
this week, obtained license at the Clerks
office to sell spiriluous liquor near Uniiy, in
this county. This is the first case 10 our
knowledge in which negro has attempted to
establish drinking house in our county
Two petitions were sent to the Clerk, one
praying for the refusal of license aud the
other with number of petitioners equally as
large recommending the grant"
desire to correct misaprehension OF the
License Laws which seems to exist 10 the
mind of your Local Editor, and also, possibly,
TO some extent IN the public mind. The above
quoted local would seem TO indicate that the
Clerk of the Circuit Court possesses the pow
err to decide whether or not any individual was
entitled to obtain license TO sell liquors
This is not the case. The laws OF the State
have placed no such power in his hands. The
Clerk is required by law TO issue liquor
license to any one who complies with the re-
quiremenls Of the laws. and could be COM
PEELED to do so should he refuse. The Clerk
is merely ministerial officer, and has no sort
of discretion in such cases.
An existing law, passed in 1862 provides
that the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Mont
gomery county shall not grant Il license TO
any person to sell intoxicating drinks, at any
time, within the limits of the first Elective
District in said county, acithoM an order in
eoriting from the Judge Of tie Sqid Circuit Court
In the case above referred to the two petit
tons were addressed to "The Judges of the
Circuit Court" and the order OF said Court
TO issue the license was endorsed thereon and
signed by the Judge thereof, whereupon the
license was issued.
do not propose TO discuss this action, hut
desire simply to inform the public that in this,
as in every other official transaction, | am
Controlled by the laws of the State
Yours Respectfully,
E.B. PRETFYMAN.
We willingly give space to the above com
munication 10 correct the imaginary injury
done 10 the thor. If he would stop to re-
feet moment, how easily he could see that it
is not correction which he makes but a
quotation of the law 10 addition to the facts Of
the matter in the local The law we thought
unnecessary 10 publish, as such things in law
go through process directed by law The
gentleman cannot excuse himself to the public
from imaginary blame that might attach to
him at our expense by trying to explain away
misrepresentation which never did exist in
our mind. 1t is al inexcusable presumption
to say the least of tia reflection on the good
sense Of the people of the county. With a s
much proprety be could tell them that alb
spell ab as to charge them with a misappre-
hension of the law after lis long existence -
