In the Circuit Court Tor GarfeIJ comfy. NO.
l79. In Equity.
The purpose for which this bill is filed is to
have the real estate of which the late Ezra
Hauser died seized and possessed sold, and
the proceeds of such sale distributed amongst
the heirs at law of the said Ezra Hauser ac.
cording TO their respective interests.
The. Bill states that the said Ezra Hauser
was in his lifetime seized and possessed of
three several tracts of land lying in Garrett
county, containing in the aggregate two hun
dred and eighteen acres of land That being
so seized and possessed of said land he depar-
ted this life intestate, about the month of
January, 1873, leaving his widow Elizabeth
Hauser, and the following heirs at law sur
viving him, to-wit: Jacob Hauser, Harriet
Lantz, wife of John Lantz, Adam Hauser,
David E. Hauser, Georgina l.. Hanser, Agnes
Hauser Ann S Hauser, Clara r. Hauser,
Rueben w. Hauser and Marian E. Hauser.
The Bill further states that after the death
of the said Ezra Hauser, to-wit on the sixth
day of January, 1880, the said Elizabeth Haul
ser, widow as aforesaid, departed this life.
That Harriet Lantz and John Lantz her hus-
band and Adam Hauser are non-residents.
That David E., Georgina T., Agnes Ann s.,
Clara E. Reuben w. and Marian Il. Hauser
are under twenty one years OF age.
The prayer of the bill is for sale of the real
estate therein described, and for a distribu-
ton of the proceeds of the sale amongst the
said heirs at law,a according to their respective
interests.
The Bill further states that the real estate
aforesaid is not susceptible of division, and
that il would be greatly to the advantage and
benefit of the parties aforesaid to have the
same sold and closes with the usual prayer
for process and for an order of publication
against the non resident defendants.
II is therefore ordered by the court this 10th
day of February, 1880, that the complainants'
cause a copy of this order, together with the
object and substance Of the bill, to be inserted
in some newspaper published in Garrett
county once week for four successive weeks
before the Goth day OF March, 1880, giving no.
tice to the said Harriet T.antz and John
LantZ. her husband, and Adam Hauser, and
warning them to appear In this court in per
son or by Solicitor, on or before the 9Th day of
July, 1850, to show cause, If any they have,
why d decree should not pass as prayed.

important Decision.

The Court of Appeals, Judge Irv-
ing delivering the opinion, has af-
firmed the decision of Judge Brown,
in the Court of Common Pleas, in
the suit of the mayor and city cOun-
Gil of Baltimore against Julian AL
exander and others, The suit was to
recover S3l6.75, being the municipal
taxes for the year 1877 levied on ISL
shares of stock of the Georges Creek
Coal and Iron Company, par value
500, owned by Mr.. Alexander, who
resides in Baltimore city. The COM
pany conducts its business in Allie
gany county. Under the local code
for that county, section 160, the taxes
were paid by the company for the
stockholders. The city of Baltimore
eontended that this local law was re-
pealed by the general assessment
law of 1866. The Circuit Court for
Allegany county decided, as late as
1877, that the local law was not re-
pealed, bat the Court of Appeals, af.
firming the decision of the Court OF
Common Pleas, decides that the 10.
cal law was repealed, and that all
residents of the city or the several
counties must pay the taxes levied in
the city or county where they reside
on stock owned by them in compa'
mics located in Allegany county. as
well as in other parts of the State
Mr.. Alexander is, therefore, hello
bound to pay the taxes on his Geor
ges Creek stock in Baltimore city
The decision applies to all Other
stockholders in the same company
and other companies in Allegany
county residing in Baltimore city
No taxes had been paid to the city
by the stockholders of the Georges
Creek Company since 1866. Unde
this decision it is thought that thre
if not four years back taxes can nov
be collected.

oUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


"iOorrespondence to The Republican ]
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. II, 1880.
me democrats are moving slowly
in their purpose of unseating Repub-
',N"1 senators and members honestly
c'se'ed, but nevertheless they are
approaching their object. Whether
'hey VIII dare to unseat Senator Lo-
gan and Representatives Washburn
anu Orth before the next electi on
u uouotful. If they. get the TWO Re-
puoilcan seats they get control of
'"o States in the House, and a ma
Jori'y of all the State delegations,
ior use in case the election of Presi-
dent should go into the House. The
unseating of Washburn would be an
outrage as great as that which the
lus Ion party tried in Maine.
Speaking of Maine reminds me
thatthere areprivate espatches from
that State showing evidence is forth
coming which will convict the Dem
ocratic thieves of'having forged and
changed returns and ballots to give
then chance to form their contem-
plated theft a plausible one. Those
knawing the facts think that the peni.
teniary will hold some of the Flu
sionists before long.
A National Blaine Club was form
ed here the other day, differed and
composed in large part of members
of Congress- and other we'll known
public men. The President is Hon.
Hiram Price, member of Congress
from Iowa, its Executive Committee
is composed of such men as William
E. Chandler, John H. Rice and John
r. French, who was Sergeant alarms
of the Senate before the Brigadlers
came into power. Mr.. Biaine's
friends say they "propose to keep
open rooms until his nomination in
June"
The great dinner given TO United
States Senators in New York the
other day. is said to have been for
the purpose of reconciling the differ
ence between the friends of Senator
Blaine and Conkling, and bring these
two able leaders together in amicable
relations. 1t is now well known that
many of the friends of Mr.. Conkling
are in favor MI Blaine.for Presi-
dent, and that if General Grant were
not in the field he would have their
solid support.
The Senate Committee on elections
are forced to report that they can
find no case against Senator ingalls,.
They are not entitled to credit for
this. If Kansas could be expected
to send Democratic Senator in his
place, he would be unseated at once.
Democratic honesty is guaged by
Democratic interests.
The House rules have not yet been
completed, and we cannot guess
when the House will be ready to go
on with the business of the session.
When they do they will Immediate
ly run against snags, and that is
what ailS them.

The FitZ John Porter case will in
all probability not be acted upon this
session. The general sentiment
among the Democrats is adverse to
take it up, because it will involve
them in long and partisan discus
sion of the war and the issues grow
ing out of it. They realize that the eff
feet of such debate upon the country
will not enhance their political pros
poets; but will. on the contrary, inure
largely to the benefit of the Repub-
licans. Hence their unwillingness
to consider the case until after the
presidential election.

Only a Drunkard.
LOGAN.

Yes, but what was he? A noble
man once! A wife was glad when
she heard his football she knew he
was good and true the children, too.
were happy, and their voices rang
out with gleeful joy as father came
home. Only a drunkard! Too true |;
and how now? Sorrow is at the
house sorrow is in the wife's heart
the children do not meet father at
the gate now with laughter.
That man went in the best society
once; he was sought after; his GUS
tom was wanted he had money and
credit; he has neither now. He is
not seen in the society that freely adj
mitted him once he is scarcely rec
ognized on the street by his old as
socrates. Why? He is only a drunk
ard now! Is he happy? Can he be?
Poor man! what brought him to
this? What power is it that holds
him with grasp tighter than self
respect--so slrong that the happiness
of wife and children cannot break !?
Is it money? Is it pleasure ? Is it
love for power or fame? Is it of his
own choice? No! no! Strong drink
has set his whole being on fire; it
controls hi n. 1t is the serpent whose
charm he cannot resist, although he
knows the poison from its fang is
death, vet he is drawn to it and re-
ceives its stroke. He tasted; he
drank, he fell. He's only drunkard
now.
All is gone. Happiness at home,
and happiness for home, is as strange
to him as stars in broad, unclouded
light. He has no companions now.
Even the beings who take advantage
of his weakness, and sell him that
which keeps up the fire of death,
sorrow to sorrow, they will not asso-
ciate with him; their families will
net notice him he is alone! Only
one now in his long list of acquain-
tances receives him, and that one is a
poor heart-broken drunkard's wife.
