The LAST MEETINa.--The late
Beard Of County Commissioners,
Msssrs. A. E. Hitchins. president /;
Henry HsrQot. A. ]. Clark, N. A.
Frost and Martin Rouzsr, held their
last meeting Friday of last week, and
after arranging matters go as to be
easily understood by the incoming
board, adjourned sine die. The board
managed very creditably the business
entrusted to their care, and have left
to the new board about $4,000 of un-
expended money in the contingent
fund. The gentlemen nemed will
probably never receive full credit fer
tho wise, judici0us and honest
control of county affairs which
marked their administration. Had
their measures accomplished and
others placed in motion, looking to-
ward reduced taxation, bean pro-
claimed from the housetops, all of
them would have been endorsed by
denomination and several at least by
reelection.
The new board goes in under aus
ricss nuch more favorable, and,
while giving credit to the old, it is
not to be doubted that the gentlemen
now in charge will DO fully equal TO
their responsibilities.

LATEST MOVE OF THE SUBSCRIBERS.
Action OF the Executive COmmittse-The Company
To Be Allowed Until April to Make
New Terms-A General Meet
ing Called.

AS stated in THE REPUBLICAN of last
Saturday. number of telephones in use by the
members of the Subscribers Protective Association
have been removed for refusal to pay the company
new schedule of charges, and action was taken
thereon by the executive committee on the 10th in
slant by passing resolution to the effect that I'M
less on or before yesterday the company notify the
committee ofthe acceptance ofthe schedule of rates
adopted by the association at its meeting at Lin
coin Hall on the evening of the 9TH of February, or
submit such other system of charges as should be
approved by the committee, 1t would call meeting
OF the association and recommend the discontinu-
ance Of the use of the telephone by all its members
on and after the first day of April next The tele-
phone company's officers were notified of this &C
ton Immediately, and have failed to make any
response, but, as the officers of the association
state, have been industriouSly at work trying to
pursuade the members individually TO make terms
or arrangements with the company outside of the
association and the executive committee, which,
under the written declaration and pledge, they
cannot do.
The officers and members, however appear de-
teTmined to act as unit and very stubborn, as
evidenced by the unanimous action of the execu-
tive committee last night in passing the following
resolutions to wit:
Resosred, That each and every member of this
association discOuntenaDce the use of the Bell
telephone OH and after the 1st day of April next.
and until a system or schedule OF charges for its
use be agreed upon between the company and this
association on the recommendation OF its executive
committee
Resoired, That each and every member of this
association, without delay notify the secretary
thereof In writing, of the number of the COM
panys wires attached to or passing over his prem
ises, with its location. and whether with or with
out permission, to the company; that the president
OF the association call general meeting of the
members for Monday evening next, the 2lst in
slant. at $50 o'clock, at Lincoln Hall.
Where members oflhe association have permitted
their telephones to be removed they have stated
that they decline TO make any arrangements for
the use OF the telephone except such as may be
agreed upon between the company and the execu-
tive committee Oft the association and approved at
a general meeting of its members. The officers
and many members of the association claim that
the discontinuance by its members of the use of
300 telephones will virtually render the instru-
ments in this District of very little If any, use 10
the other subscribers The action of the general
meeting to be held at Lincoln Hall Monday
evening will be watched with considerable in
terest

Black Acquitted,

The trial of George w. Black on the
charge of committing an assault on William Buck
ley, III November last, terminated in the Criminal
Court yesterday with verdict of acquittal for the
defendant. In giving his testimony the accused
stated that on the night of the occurrence he met
Mrs. Buckley at the Sixth street depot acoompa-
MED her home, and entered the house at her invi-
tation. He was standing just inside the
parlor. with his hand on the door
jainb, when Mr.. Buckley sprang from be-
hind a settee at the further end of the room,
came up and struck him on the head with his fist.
Buckley then clinched with him and he struggled
to get away. He denied thai he hit Buckley, and
also that he put his arm around Mrs. Buckley
while in the room, that he touched her while he
was in the room. While there might have been
objection 10 the presence CT Black in the house of
Buckley, still it was shown that the latter did not
order the former 10 quit the premises before the
Scuffe took place between them. Neither was it
shown in evidence that Black made any assault.
The jury were out about three minutes, when thew
returned with verdict ofnot guilty.
