The memorial led to discussion, in
which 1t was maintained that the
synod, smaller body, was In no way
tion. So that the question was limit
ed to few members belonging to
both bodies.
The Rev. Chauncey Giles OF PhiladeL

PushIng COLLECTOR Donrhertx.

For some time past runners have
been floating around that there would
be shortage in Tax Collector John j,
Dougherty'S accounts when they came
to be squared up. These rumors
seemed to gain force from the fact
that John A. Beers, one of the princi-
pal bondsmen of MIR. Dougherty, died,
and the Security Trust and Safe De-
posit Company, having been made the
executor Of the estate, had become un-
easy and was hurrying Mr.. Dougherty
to make settlement.
This of course Mr.. Dougherty could
notdo on sight, as the law gave year
to collect taxes duo for the preceding
year. Mr.. Dougherty has about Sl4,-
600 outstanding on his duplicates, all
OF which he states would be collected
in the time usually allowed collectors,
but II that could not be done, his su-
reties would have to take the books
and that was all there was In 1t.
Yesterday forenoon q messenger
came from the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Company's Office and demand.

to hand over until he consulted coun,
sci. The upshot Of the matter was
that yesterday afternoon John H. Rod

peared in the court and, after asking
permission, read the following:

Complaint Against a Registration
OffIcer.

OnCef.
There Is considerable complaint In
reference to the actions of Frank u.
Carpenter, a Democratic registration
officer OF the Sixth district in tho Fifth
ward, 1t is said that on Saturday last
he acted as though he owned the
entire ward and that 1t rested with
him whether or not persons were per-
mltted to register and qualify them
selves to vote at the coming city cleo
ton.
joseph Slaughter. colored, came to
tho polls about noon and offered his
tax receipt to be stamped. Carpenter
took tho receipt and refused to give 1t
back to Slaughter. The latter asked
that 1t should bo returned to him, but
Carpenter refused to yield, on the
grounds that the receipt was signed
by Collector George W. Mckee OF the
Southern district and that Slaughter
lived in the Northern city district.
Slaughter explained that he lived In
the Twelfth ward when he paid his
taxes, but In March last he moved into
the Fifth ward. Carpenter put the re-
eeipt In his pocket and refused to re-
turn It to Its owner. Charles +. Thomas,
the Republican Judge, asked to see the
receipt, but Carpenter refused to let
him even look at 1t unless he would
promise that he would return 1t to
him, Carpenter.
1t was in vain that Slaughter pro-
tested, and he was obliged to leave
the polls without his receipt The man
then called ON Charles NJ. Curtis, ESQ,
who accompanied him to the polls and
made a formal demand for tho receipt.
Carpenter, however, refused to give
It up and also refused to allow Mr..
Curtis to even examine IT,
Lewis b. Morrow, secretary and
treasurer OF the Wilmington Manu-
featuring Company, was the next one
on whom he tried his hand.
Carpenter and Mr.. Morrow live but a
short distance from each other but
Norrow's receipt was refused on the
samo ground as Slaughters. When he
paid his last tax he lived in the Fourth
ward, but recently moved ON Franklin
street between Seventh and Eighth,
about one square from the polls.
MIR. Morrow's receipt was also 70
tained by Carpenter. He kept the re
oeipt until Monday, when he handed il
to him.
Carpenters actions were condemned
by respectable Democrats as well by
Republicans, and u delegation of tht
voters OF the district entered com
plaint against him before tine Depart
ment OF Elections. on Tuesday even.
ing, and asked for his removal. Tn,
non-partisan department gave Carpen
ter a secret hearing last evening, al
which he claimed that he believed tn,
receipt offered by Slaughter was fraud
ulent, but such, however, could no
have been his defense in the caso o
MIR. Morrow. Carpenter will act agail
on Saturday, and 1t is said will con
duct himself in different manner.
