OF the 81 affirmative votes Is were Republi-

The bill has yet TO run the gauntlet of the
house, where it is likely to be antagonized by
Mr.. fuckers bill for sweeping reduction Of
duties, which bill he tried hard to pass during
the last days of the last session. The Savannah
Weekly News for September 9th says of the
prospects of the Eaton bills passing the
House:
The passage of the commission bill BY the House

Congress will be more bo and outspoken in their
opinions next winter than they we're last session,
because the restraint of presidential election wi
not pe upon them. Next winter there will doubt
be determined effort made to pass bill providing
for immediate revision of the tariff.
But even If the bill should pass the House it
must be amended by that body, for as it passed
the Senate, it contained the proviso that the
commission should report not later than the
the first Monday of January, 1881. OF course
no commission could now report at that early
date, and an amendment of this provision will
be absolutely necessary if the bill passes the
House at all. If amended the bill must 60
back to the Senate for concurrence in the
amendment. In both branches the bill cannot
De expected to receive consideration without
debate, and as debate takes time, and as the
session will be only thirteen weeks long, and
will be the last before the Inauguration of a
new President, there IS reasonable chance
that debate and other hindrances will yet kill
the bill. Finally, if it becomes law who will
constitute the commission? And what guar
rantee is there that the Senate will confirm the
right kind of a commission?

strong, clear voice gave the lines, the

The Dee Nuisance.

We have altogether too many dogs.
lsince they cannot be killed so long
as they are respectable and their
Iowner= desire to Keep them. a method
Ishouli be devised TO make it to the
interest OF their possessors 70 cause a
i few TO SHUTTLE of this coil. Our or
dinance governing toe tsxation OF
CANNES is not productive Of the
necessary amount Of good. & dog Is
taxed So per year Il tie owner OF
the pup refuses t. pay ioT Il, the
city has TO take lie revenge Out on
the animal itself, snd sill it. Thus
man is kept constantly employed
hunting Up the dog tax and killing
of unclaimed ours; it can reAdily be
seen that such a rule entails expense
and is far from accomplishing the
full object; one man cannot keep
track OF all the dogs in the city, and
thus they are allowed to increase in
any ratio. There Is no punishment
attached to the finding of an un-
registered dog, and a man may keep
as many as be pleases, aud il he il
discovered and desires to retain them
be has but to pay SO apiece and the
ours live, and if he does not want
them, he tells the dog tax collector to
kill them. How different il would be,
though, if the fact OF finding an IN
registered or uAlict used dog in the
possession of a msn, meant punish
ment to the pOssessor and not TO
the innocent hound. Just change
the ordinance and make il provide |
that any person proven to be the
owner OF an unlicensed dog after q
certain date in each year should be |
liable to a hne of certain or dis
cretiOnsTy amount, &ad the necessity |
for sending a man around to collect |
the dog tax would be obviated. TIE
owner would find it to bis interest
then to pay the tax voluntarily; if he
was unwilling 20 pay the tax then he
would have the dog killed himself.
which is perfectly right; the city
should not be compelled to kill of |
these animals. II such a provision
were made the dog tax of this city
would he quickly paid, would bring
10 neat little revenue, and there
would be less than one hall the pre-
sent number of dogs in each year,
but twice the number on which taxes
are paid. Something should be done;
so many dogs are becoming dam
gerous nuisance, and the above seems
the most profitable and efficscious
plan OF securing a decrease in their
rapidly increasing numbers. Hnd in
crease in the tax.
