Th0 Levy OOUFQ.

The advantage Of delibsrative bodies
being composed of representatives from
both the leading political parties il
shown in very conspicuous degree by
the hsrmoniou workings Of the Levy
Court. That court is composed of six
Democrats and five Republicans though
only four Of the latter have been pres
ant during the sittings Of the court the
present year. Mr.. Febiger has been
travelling and owing to the severe
winter he was not enabled to return
in season to take his seat, but his rs.
turn is hourly looked for and he will
no doubt be in bis seat by Monday.
There never Was more business to be
transacted at any previous session Of
the court, and there never was larger
assessment Of property and yet ther.
never has been the least ripple In ii g
proceedings. The representatives. OF
each party are treated with due oour-
tssy and there is no trouble whatever
so far about the assessments or the
erlsr lists. The only thing that can
by any means be construed into dis.
courtesy is the formation Of the com
mittees by the President. A little
lack Of confidence Is shown in the Re-
publican members by the appoint
ment of Democratic members from the
lower Democratic Hundreds to com
mittees in the upper Republican Hun
drsds. Had Republican members In
one or two instances been appointed to
serve on committees in remote Demo-
cratic Hundreds, the President would
have been spared even this small crit
ioism of apparent political partislity
in the appointment Of his committees.
This however is but small matter
and can be readily excused in q strong
Partisaa. 1t would be q great advan-
tsge il tns Levy Court could always be
composed Of mixed representatives in
politics. 1t Is not unlikely that the
Levy Court two years hence will be a.
solidly Republican as it was last year
Democratic, and though We would
;nuch rather have it solidly Republi-
can than solidly Democratic, yet We
believe that the true interests OF the
county would be better subserved by
q mixed court as near half and half as
,ossible. Under our present system
however it is likely to be solid one way
or the other which ia TO be regretted.
The only relief from q solid Levy Court
would be . constitutional amendment
permitting each Hundred TO elect its
own members. This would be equita-
BILE, impartial and fair to all political
parties and to the county. But why
talk of constitutional amendments,
with our present constitution locked
up and the key thrown away II John
N. Clayton was guilty of throwing
away that key as represented it was
the worst act Of his life.

LINE OF STEAMERS PROJECTED TO RUN BE-
TWEEN MILFORD HAVEN AND THE END OF
long ISLAND.
Mr.. Austin COrbin, president Of the Long
Island Railroad Company, is considering
abe adyisability OF joining in "a project TO
establish a line Of swift passenger steamers
10 run between some English port and Fort
Pond bay, which Is near the eastern end OF
Long Island, about ten miles west OF the
extremity OF Montauk Point. The bay,
which lies on the north side OF the point,
has depth Of 80 feet up to the shore and
Il depth Of $50 feet until the open ocean is
reached. II the project is decided upon,
she Long Island railroad will be extended
from Sag Harbor fifteen miles to make di-
rect connection with the steamers. 1t Is
thought that by landing at Fort Pond bay
abe steamers will not only save twelve
hours running time and escape the risk Of
fogs, bars, tides, and delays at quarantine,
but the passengers will be carried over the
remaining ITO miles Of their journey TO
New York within four hours. Mr.. Will
Ham Pearce, Of John Elder Il Co., ship

third and fourth ribs, and from three to

violently, as the Dispatch has heard, that

that suppuration would then ensue, and
that that would prove fatal, and having

heal.

December -, 1881. (
Our County Court was in session Mon
day and Tuesday-Judgc Gregory pre-
siding. Stephen Coleman (colored), who
was heretofore indicted for the murder OF
Jefferson Woodbridge (colored), was yes
tcrday tried and acquitted. The defence,
represented by Mr.. Fitzpatrick, proved
that the prisoner was insane. The be-
hayior OF the prisoner in court caused con-
siderable merriment. While the indict-
ment was being read the prisoner. with an
idiotic laugh, exclaimed: II heard dat
thing befo"; and ms the clerk continued 10
read he said: Nobody was thar Gui-
teau could learn some valuable lessons
on insanity from Coleman. There were
four negroes on the jury, all Of whom. /
understand, were at first in favor OF con-
vction OF murder in the second degree,
hut after further deliberation and consulta-
ton they were convinced Of the insanity Of
the prisoner. Coleman will he sent to the
asylum.
An amusing incident occurred in court
Monday. A citizen went before the grand
Jury and had the oyerseer OF certain
road indicted for failing TO keep his road
in good condition. When the preseniment
was made il was found that the complain
ant was himself the overscer. and had had
himself indicted. The Court relieved him
from his embarrassment.
