THE COW IMBROGLIO.


When, by order of Mayor Schilinger
the venerable and highly respected Chas.

Magistrate O'Neil yesterday afternoon for
a criminal offense, in that he had violated
an ordinance of this city by having his
COW and calf on the street. rambling I'M

when all respectable cows should be

where else, it created small volcanue of
surprise from the oritice of which issued

personages. The Justice decided that
Mr.. Atkinson was liable, and fined him
So and costs The gentleman could not
understand how the acts Of his COW,
which he proved was shut up in his yard
at 10 o'clock the night on which it was
put in the pound, yard enclosed by
more than lawful fence, and getting out
without his consent or knowledge. could
make him criminal under the ordinance
which says that parties who suffer their
cattle, etc, to run at large shall be con-
sidered, he refused to pay the fine until
he thought the matter over. On trying
to leave the court room policeman
stepped between him and the door and
said he could not leave until he had set
tied some other charges. On asking
what other charges were against him.
Magistrate O'Neil said the fine and costs,
and that there were only three ways he
could get out-by paying the fine, giving
security. or go to the cahboose. This
answer kind of stunned the old man, but
he soon rallied and was ready for anoth-
er round. Many uncomplimentary epi>
thets couched in the smoothest and pur

oner and the court about this time, some
of which might be given TO the public,
but it would do no good. The mayor of
the city was an interested spectator, and
many learned highly instructive and val,

understood it, which, of course, will be
quoted as law hereafter. Mr.. Atkinson
did not pay his fine, nor give bonds, nor
did he 90 TO the calaboose
| Our chief magistrate must or should
know by this time, that he cannot com
mand obedience in subordinate when
be orders it to do an unlawful act, aud
that said subordinate is not under any
obligation to obey an order of that kind,
and this he ought to have known before
accepting of the ermine he now so grace>
fully and proudly wears He must also
know that being elected to ali office of
trust and honor does not license him TO
violate the law, and that officers are
amendable, the same as other people,
