Com missioner Wight,

To the EGitor of The Times:
The intoferanty autocratic attitude of Com
missioner Wight. in regard to the muzzing of
dogs, negroes, Irishmen and Italians. in this Dis
trict. is quite in consonance with the conditions
surrounding his appointment by President Ne
Kinlev, when, although appointed as tine Repub
lican member Of the Beard his actual affiliation
with that party a matter of very serious
doubt and very much disputed by men most ia
miiiar with the facts. Once in office he began
TO assume all the functions usually appertainirg /,
the three Commissioners. some of us remcm-
Der to this day.
IL the men of Washington were voters it would
not take very long to dispense with such incom-
potency and incucste the idea that the servant
is not above his master. even Commissioner

AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT.
Letter from Gen. II. n. Wise on the
Subject OF Oysters.

Mr. Frank P Brent. Secretary of the
State Board OF Education, has in his pos
session a most interesting paper, in the
shape Of a letter upon the oyster question,
from Hon. Henry a. Wise to Major w.
T Sutherlin. who was. a t the time the let
ter was written, a member of the Virginia
Legislature.
The letter is dated Richmond. Va. Dec.
Goth, 1871. and is copied in the handwrit-
ing of General Edmund r. Bagwell. VINO
was then member of the House OF Del
egates from Accomac county.
General Wise was d member OF the
commission on the part of Virginia, to set
tie the boundary line between Maryland
and Virginia, and gathered the information
impaired to Major Sutherlin in connection
with his duties as commissioner.
The letter states it as the opinion OF
General Wise, from the facts gathered,
that the oyster industry at that time could
have been made to yield the State an in
come of $4,000 per year. by levying tax
Of 9 L. cents per gallon on oysters taken
from Virginia waters, and that the tax
could have been more easily borne than
that OF 50 cents on the 500 worth of land
in the State.
The letter was given Mr.. Brent some
years ago by Mrs. Margaret Douglas BAG
well. widow of General Bagwell. who Is
now the mat-on of the Kenyon Acaden"
