THE ALEXANDRIA SUNDAY LAW.
Mayor Smith Declares that It Is Uneon
StitutiOnaI.

A new phase was put on the Alex
andria Sunday-law question yesterday by an
opinion delivered by Mayor Smith declaring the
law unconstitutional. So Alexandria will, until
the defect in the law is remedied, return to its
Old-time employments, and thirsty Washing
tonians will seek the quiet city on Sunday after
moons as of yore. 1t was mentioned in yes
terday's REPUBLICAN that in the case of a
grocer named James Wilkinson charged
with violating the Sunday law by selling
liquor on the Sabbath, Mr.. Burke, counsel for
the defendant, raised the point that the mayor
could not convict and punish man for a misde-
meanor. The mayor reserved his decision at the
time, and yesterday delivered an elaborate
opinion. The ordinance passed by the City
Council, referring to the sale of liquor, says
ANY person violating the provisions of this
section shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and if convicted shall be punished
by fne,' &c. The mayor holds in his opinion
that no power is conferred by charter upon the
city council to create offenses misdemeanors
which are essentially criminal ofenses indictable
in the courts of common law; and there is GER
tainly warrant of authority, either expressed or
implied, authorizing the mayor to summarily con-
Wet and punish misdemeanors. In closing the
opinion Mayor Smith says:
As the executive of the city, relying upon the So
gacity and wisdom of the city council this ordinance
received my approval, but now l am called upon 10
review its provisions in the capacity Of Judge.
Questions and objections going to the rgfu ercise
of this power for the first time presented and
believing as do that 10 further proceed in this case
would be Oversepping the constitution, such proceed
ngs would be without the excuse that they arose from
of judgment. The summons H. therefore
quaShed and the defendant discharged

SEEKING SEPARATION.
Divorce Suit Growing ont OF Free
Love and Free Thought.

Proceedings for divorce were begun
yesterday by Sarah A Burlingame against her
husband, Franklin Burlingame. The bill was en-
tered in the clerks office by Mrs. Burlingame's
attorney, F. H. Howe, and Immediately withdrawn
by Mr. Howe who declined TO diVulge its contents to
q REPUBLICAN reporter When the reporter called
upon Mrs. Burlingame at her residence, in Sher-
man Row, street northeast, she stated simply:
al have no communication to make whatever"
Mr.. and Mrs. Burlingame very well known in
the community having for several years con-
Quoted news stand in the House wing of the
CAPITAL. 1t was Mrs. Burlingame who preferred
charges few months ago against Capitol Policeman
Hughes, alleging that he had attempted to outrage
her little daughter in a committee room This led
to Hughes Indictment, conviction, and imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. The grounds on which
the divorce is asked are, it is alleged
abandonment, non support, and infdelity. Bur-
ingame left his wife, who is sick with affection
of the spine, some time ago. As one of the friends
of the family" told REPUBLICAN reporter there
was q too much free love and free thought" Bur
lngame has, during the last year, been the master
of ceremonies at the Thought Exchange" q sort
of organization which formerly met Sunday after
moons at Tallmadge Hall, when the mem
bers aired their opinions in fve-minute
speeches on social and religious questions.
Burlingame, it is stated. attempted to
convert the gatherlngS into sprltuallsts meetings,
movement which was distasteful to many of the
members and caused them to withdraw. a few
weeks ago Burlingame and his followers aban-
doned Tallmadge Hall and opened a thought ex-
change, Admission, five cents" at a house rented
by Burlingame on Pennsylvania avenue, between
Second and Third streets. Burlingame also opened
boarding house. and Mrs. Myra Hail. spiritual
istic medium from New York, was the main at
traction, both in the clearinghouse and in the
thought exchange. Mrs. Burlingame neither fan
cied the thought exchange business nor liked her
husbands neglect of her and his marked atten-
tons to the medium. Hence the divorce suit.

COTTAGE HILL AROUSED.
An Indignant Protest Against Piratical
Poundmaster.

The usual calm of Cottage Hill, near
Glenwood Cemetery, has recently been disturbed
by predatory excursions of the poundmaster and
his dusky band of brigands. They have swooped
down, it is claimed at unreasonable hours like the
wolf on the fold, and caused great CONSERVATION
among the natives who feed their hocks on these
grassy slopes. Exercising their inalienable right
of petition, MeSsIs. William Frinnage, W.
Phillips, Joseph Miller, E. D. Miller, John
NJ. DAILY, and William s. Clark, six OF
the stalwart yeomanry of Cottage Hill, have
written letter laying their griefs before the Dis
trict Commissioners. 1t appears by this document
that the eottagers complain especially because the
poundmaster comes without being asked. They
say that the outrages have continued for two
years. As their property surrounds that OF Mr..
Davies and Mr.. Davies consents to let their stock
roam over his fields, they hold that no one is in
iured. The letter gives the following graphic ac-
count of recent expedition into their country by
the poundmaster's forces:
Thursday, the 9th, the poundmaster, headed by
that most faithful policeman Ingle, pounced one
horse and poor Widow Green's goats at halfpast
seven o'clock a. m. in front of our premises, and
captured five of horses besides soaring wives
and children. In fact, il dangerous be the
hill, for the screaming and chasing of these black
hel-hounds alarmed horses that the hill
fit place for any ladies and children The wonder is
that the horses legs broken running through
the gulles which the hill is SC full off, Our
first request is that the money that was
extorted from Thursday might
be returned. Our second request is that the
poundmaster will not come reuntil we send for
him. Third-Isit just is il lawful for the poundmaster
to come on private property when not requested by
the prOperty-holders? Fourth-That the policeman,
Ingle be removed from this district where he does
not protect the properyholders. Hoping gentlemen,
this will meet your kind approval, &C.
