An INTERESTING SUIT.
Commercial Herald.l

For some time past State Revenue
Agent Writ Adams and his deputy
here, Mr.. Thos. Rigby, have been en-
gagged IN wOrking up the details Of a
series of cases involving the collection
of an immense amount of delinquent
privilege taxes. All the essential facts
have at last been secured and suit will
be brought in the ensuing term of the
civil circuit court in test case, upon
whose decision the fate of several
hundred others depends, involving an
amount Of delinquent taxes, in this
city and county alone, which is esti-
mated at between 100000 aud $780,
600.
The facts upon which this litigation
il TO be based, as stated to the report
or. are as follows: For years past and
in fact until quite recently it was a
common practice in the courts Of this
county for liquor dealers to appear
thrice q year before the circuit court
plead guilty to indictments for selling
liquor without license, pay the hne
and costs and 90 on their way relolc-
ing, to continue their Illicit sales With
out license. When it is said that such
was the practice it must not be sup
posed that ii was universal custom
| for many if not most dealers, paid The
tax and complained bitterly of the un
equal burden which they were com
peled to bear and the unfair competl
tion to which they were subjected bl
dealers who paid no such taxes. l

THE CONCORD GRIEVANCES

Ats o'clock a m., on Saturday last
(NI,rch 21s,) the water was discovered
passing through the Concord ieVee,
about midway between the Concord
residence aud the dividing line oil the
Homestead plantation. Before any.
thing possibly could be done, and
within an hour the break had wldehea
10 over thirty feet, increasing IN vol
ume every moment. In two hours
from the tlme of discovery II had pc
come surging vortex over MY iee'
wide and of unknown deptn.
The heighth of the levee where tne
break was first discovered was about
nine feet, but coming up IN the direc-
tion of Providence it increased IN
boivhth three or four feet within a
few stations, SO that the rapid abrasion
on ihis side let in such large volume
of water that the people living imme-
diately under the crevasse ana on the
Uollybrook and Guier places, had 10
hurry to escape from the crowdine
water. Fortunately no lives were lost
thouoh there was much stock, hogs
chickens and household effects carried
away with the current.
The destructive consequences OF tnis
creyasse cannot at present be fully es-
timated, because the water continues
