Senator AllStOn.

1t certainly seems to US that it is both
unwise and unjust to condemn mar
without hearing him, and as the vote Mr..
Allston on the Publication of the Laws
has been criticized by some members OF
his party, we give space in this issue 10
his remarks defining his position. On
the question of the substitute of Mr.. Brat
tan to abolish the publication ofIhe Laws,
Mr. Allston said:
Il was elected o this Senate by Repub
licans and also by Democrats. | am glad
to be here to-day to vote on this measure
| have been absen from this body more
than | liked, heing Cal ed away To sick
bed. l am not "A partisan, nor do owe
allegiance To any man or set of men My
people have shown their confidence in me
by sending me here. My course some
days ago in voting as did on a certain
measure was severly criticized 10y certain
gentleman, and expect my course Today
will be still more severely rIlclZed.
believe this publication of the laws To be
good for my people; that they are IN favor
OF it and | should he recreant 20 them and
the trust imposed in me did | not vote
against this substitute"
Whatever may be the extent and Charac-
ter Of the criticism elsewhere, To which
Col. \ ls;onc has subjected himself 10y the
independent courst he has thought pro
per to pursue since he became our Senator
we have vet to hear of the iirst murmur ei
disapproyal from his own constituents OF
any vote that he has east during the pre-
sent session OF the Senate, and we make
bold to say, that we are gTeateiul that his
independence has taken the direc ion of
sustaining the pub icaion of the laws By
the newspapers.-St Harg's Beacon

Dog Law.

We print to-day in another column the
full text of bill to provide for the taxa
ton of dogs, and to make them property
and regulate their ownership, which is
now pending before the General Assembly
at Annapolis, and which. it is said, has q
fair chance of passing. We lay the full
text of this bill before our readers, in or
der that they may pass judgment upon its
merits, and give expression of their ap-
prevail or disapproval by petitions to the
Legislature for or against its passage. II
will be observed that this proposed law
is not local in its character, but that its
provisions are intended to be CO extensive
with the limits of the State, and applica-
BILE to every county. This being SO, it
becomes important that the people ofevery
county should consider its provisions, aud
if they approve of them, let them try as
far as possible to remove the Characters
tic timidity of the average legislator upon
the enactment of dog laws, by sending
in long and formidable petitions asking
such action.
We have not had time to make care
tul examination of this bill; but from the
examination we have made it is evident
that it is no half way measure. 1t has
been objected to by some that the enact.
ment of law fixing uniform tax upon
dogs, regardless of their value, would be
an unconstitutional assumption by the
Legislature. The Pennsylvania law, to
which we have heretofore referred, is open
to that objection, if, indeed, there be any
force in it, which however we very much
question. This bill, it will be seen, while
in a manner avoiding that objection, is
nevertheless very thorough in its provi-
sions. The proposition to assess every
free holder with all dogs found on his pre-
misses at nominal value of $25, or up
ward if he desire, and to make him res
ponsib'e for the depredations of such dogs
appears to be putting the ak right at the
root of the evil. The practical operation
of this provision would, doubtless, be to
greatly diminish the number of worthless
ours. 1t is probable that, under the oper-
alton Of this law, all the inferior stock of
CANNES, who are valued at less than $25
and whose moral character and habits of
life are not such as to render them above
the suspicion of killing sheep, would be
visited with an "untimely taking off, and
would find premature grave.
The provision in the bill as to the in
jured party applying to the county COM
missioners and have them appoint spe-
cial commission to value his damages ap-
pears to be cumbersome, and, in view of
infrequent meetings of the board of COM
missioners, somewhat impractical. 1t
would be better, perhaps, if the provision
for the liquidation of damages for tres
p.sses of stock upon crops. as contained
in the existing trespass laws, were substi-
tuted in place of this section of the bill.
From the hasty examination we have
given it, the bill impresses us, with the

EDITOR GAzETTE-Dear Sir Il see you
have been misled, as others have, by an
error of the reporter in stating that the
bill providing for the election of School
Commissioners had passed the House
Such is not the fact. In accordance with
the order of the Committee on Education,
I. as chairman of said committee, on
Monday, the 18th, reported said bill
unfavorably, and the report was adopted.
There is notwithstanding sentiment in
favor of a change, but the most of US feel
it will be great mistake to throw the
schools into the vortex of politics.
Very respectfully,
