the representatives of nations.
And whereas it was stipulated in
the second article of the convention
entered into at Saratoga between
Lieut-Gen. Burgoyne and Maj-Gen.
Gates, That free passage be grant
ed the army under Lieut-Gen Bur
goyne to Great Britain etc.
His majesty's commissioners, now
founding their claims on this article,
join with the cohmander-in-chief of
his majesty's forces in a peremptory
requisition that free entrance into the
harbor of Boston be given to trans
ports for the immediate embarkation
! of siad troops and that they be al
lowed to depart for Great Britain in
terms of said convention"
The copy of the Belfast News Letter
then goes on to give the reply of con-
gress in which it is stated that Joseph
| Reed, a member of congress, had de-
clared that he had received an offer
from George tombstone, of his majes-
tvs commission, of ten thousand
pounds sterling for services he might
render in bringing about peace be-
| tween the two nations, and that con
gress could not in honor hold any
communication with commission
numbering as one of it's members the
said George tombstone.
Then Mr.. tombstone replies, saying
| that he was far from considering this
| resolution Of congress as any reflec-
| ton against him, but that he rather
received it as a mark of distinction
| to which he is by no means entitled"
/ The three other commissioners then
reply, stating that they need say
nothing in vindcation of Mr.. John
stone, but urging that "the congress
stand by what is promised in the
convention as regarding the troops
lately under Gen. Burgoyne."
Among the extracts printed from
continental news" is the following:
Hague, Oct. 15.-Private letters
from Dresden impart that the king OF
Prussia has detached from his army
10000 men, who are marching by the
country of Glatz into Moravia, in or
der to join 000sRussian troops, who
are likewise on their march, by era
COW, for Moravia. The same letter
adds that his majesty remains in per
son with 10000 men in Silesia to
cover the frontiers, and that his royal
highness Prince Henry, will continue
in Saxony, alike to defend the from
! tiers"

THE Price
OF A DOG

Notwithstanding the fact thlr"sThe
Price ol dog is an abomination 20
the Iord' the Georgia legislature
evidently thinks the beast Is wor n 7
of consideration, and has decided TO
levy a tax of 81 head on the brutrs.
TAG following from the Atlanta t:eor-
gian explains the situation;
With Mr.. Brown, of Murray, on the
floor, the house Thursday morning
resumed consideration of the welghty
proposition to put tax of 81 per head
on dogs.
, Mr.. Brown thought a tax would
thin out this mongrel breed of dogs
and lessen the danger from hydropho'
bia-
At the exclusion of Mr.. Browns
speech debate was unceremoniously
shut off by Mr.. Edwards, of Walton,
who called the previous question.
Mr. Ellis, of Bibb, made the point OF
order that no member of the house
owning dog should be allowed to
vote on the question of tax.
The speaker ruled that he would
leave that matter to the conscience OF
each member.
The house adopted an amendment
by Mr., Ellis, providing that if the tax
is not paid the dog shall be levied on
and sold, and if the purchase price
does not equal the amount of the tax
the dog shall be killed.
When the question was put to a
vote Mr.. Ellis, of Bib, asked to be
excused from voting.
q can't vote my convictions on the
tax" he said, because the head OF
my household owns a dog. There
fore, | ask to be excused"
81 object" shouted Joe Hill Hall,
and Mr.. Ellis was compelled to vote.
He voted NO"
The tax was adopted by the vote OF
1O3 to GO.

 CONVICTED The Two Bullards Are
 Acquitted. THE CONSPIRACY CASE ENDS Of Much Interest to the Covington
 County People. 4 Motion win Be Made for a New Trial and Pending same sen-
 tence is Being With
 held.

The jury in the case of the two Richardsons and the two Bullards. of Covington county, charged with con- spiracy to intimidate James Thomp- son, a government witness who had reported a distillery to the revenue officers, reached a verdict yesterday morning by which the two Richard sons were found guilty of the charge and the two Bullards acquitted.
 Immediately after the announce ment that the Richardsons were guilty of the charge. the attorney for the defense stated that he would make a motion for Q new trial. and the sentence of the court will there- fore be held up until the motion Is heard and determined upon by Judge Thomas c. Jones.
 The case against the four Coving- ton county citizens had attracted wide interest, and each day of the taking of evidence has seen the court room in the Federal building well filied with interested spectators. There were more than fifty witnesses ex- amined by both the djistriot attorney and the defense during the four days of the trial, and the verdict of yes terday morning was eagerly awaited.

keeping. Lee Kent had one case against him and was fined tl00; Willie Martin had two cases against him and was fned s1o0 in each case; William Madison had one case against him and was fined $50.
 Az the guard house is not in q san itary condition for long confinement. the sherin offered the Mayor room in the jail and the three negroes were placed there to await the payment of their fines.
 The three cases against J.. c. Camp bell for the selling of whiskey last week and for which he was sentenced 70 pay fine of $500 and work for 120 days on the street, were compromis- ed for little over saoo and costs.
 In compliance with a recent ordin- ance the owners of property on Com merce Street are having the sidewalks in front of their property paved. There are but few property owners that have not yet compiled with this ordinance and the paving for most of these is under way so that in a short time a person may walk the length of the street without getting of the pave- ment. The space in front of the Meth odist Church Is also being paved. a seven foot fence around it and with comfortable bleachers and grand stand. The first game was played there yes- terday and lovers of that sport are very enthusiastic over the prospects for q good team for the town this season.

AWAIT THE
 PREPARING No Early Appointment
 For Mobile. GOVERNOR LEAVES : CITY Left Yesterday Morning for Trip
 to Washington. Governor Would Be In Awkward Posi- ton should the Supreme Court Reverse the Impeachment
 Verdict.

Until it is determined whether an duplication for a rehearing is filed with lshe Supreme Court of Alabama in the Caxalas impeachment case, 1t is be- lieved that Governor Conner will not iappoint a successor of the removed lSheriff of Mobile County. That was the trend of Capitol gossip yesterday.
 The idea gains strength when 1t is known that the Governor spent Tues day night in Montgomery. attended to imany business matters and left yester- lday morning for Washington, D. C., on Iprtvate business without touching the Mobile situation. It is said that the Governors mind is fixed on the ap- pointee whenever the appropriate time shall have arrived, and therefore the delay in action is not attributed to de- bate on this question. It seems to re- solve Itself into the question of when will the case be finally disposed of.
 Lawyers say that the Governors de- lay is justified because it would prob ably be an awkward position for the appointee to be named, to start in ser- vice as sheriff and then to be displaced by a reversal of the impeachment de- cision by the court. Of course a re- yersal of the decision would mean the reinstatement of Frank Cazalas, ST.
 It is known that fifteen days are al- lowed for the filing of an application for a rehearing before the Supreme Court. As there yet remain eight days to the credit of the removed sheriff, if lawyers for MT. CazalaS see it, they may postpone the Governors action by making application on thes fifteenth day. Then. indeed, the delay may be continued for several days, or until af-
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-06-10

ter the disposal of the application by the Court The Court has been known to consume several days in considera- ton of important applications of this kind.
 Of course it Is known that the ma- jority of the court spoke with unusual emphasis when they rendered their de- cision finding Mir. Cazaias guilty, and the chances are against their reversing themselves Yet 1t is on record where they have reversed themselves.
 It is known whom the Governor will return from Washington. He may be gone . week or a day.
 It was reported that Gregory l.. Smith, counsel for the impeached sher- in of Mobile County. had made appli- cation for a rehearing but General R. F. Ligon, Clerk of the Supreme Court. said yesterday afternoon sthat he had not received the application. If any were filed he would be the first man to see the papers.
 But when the Governor does return and acts, It Is said John S. Drago has the first call on the place.

NONE IN CONTEMPT
JUDGE GAsToN RULES IN ASSAULT
 CASE.
Fact That Mob Attacked Two Of the Detectives Is Not Consid- cred as Su chBy
 Judge.

Judge J. B. Gaston yesterday aft ernoon decided that none of the facts brought out before him in the inves- tigation held the day previous for ai- legged contempt of the county court in the attack made upon the witnesses summoned by the State against the alleged saloon keepers warranted him in issuing attachments for contempt.
 Tn the opinion of Judge Gaston the mob attack upon the two detectives of the Law and order League in front of the court house does not consti- tute contempt of court as defined in Section 4630 of the code. This section Of the core declares that the powers of the several courts of this State to issue attachments and inflict sum- mary punishment for contempts, do not extend to any other cases than those defined in the section.

TO REGULATE
 LIGHT RATES The City Proposes to
 Take a Hand. MATTER UP IN THE COUNCIL The Mayor Comes Forward With Some Recommendations. DepIores Attack Made on One Conn., pany in Court, Saying That 1t
 May Bring About avir-
 tuaI MonopoIy.

That the City Council may take q hand in some regulation of rates as to gas and electricity is the prospect in view of communication to be pre- sented that body at its next meeting by Mayor Teague, who comments on the alleged fight between the two light Ing companies of the city.
 Mayor Teague, in the communication recommends that 8 maximum light rate be established, perhaps 71-2 cents per kilowatt nour. He deplores the at- tack made on one of the companies of the city, which fight Is now pending in the courts, and declares that in case the matter goes against the threatened company, the effect will virtually be that of bringing about a monopoly.
 He shows that in those sections of the city. where one of the companies has no competition, there is charged the rate of 15 cents the kilowatt hour. Where there Is competition, he shows. 1-2 cents Is the rate charged by both.
 He shows that there is no maximum rate established for Montgomery, and that therefore some are charged twice the rate asked of others, producing . situation that smacks of discrimina- ton.
 Another regulation which will be re-, commended to the Council by the com-
 
 rect meters. He shows that at present there is no statute providing for ac. curacy, and that the consumers are forced to pay for the amount chalked up by the machines That the meters, should be inspected, and that their accuracy should be required Is another of the points of the communication which the Council will hear.
 Again. the communication will ask that arrangement be made for an in- vestigation of the grade or quality of the gas furnished by the companies. He shows that the best quality is guar anteed by the lighting companies, but that there is no means of telling wheth- CT the contract as to this factor is complied with.
 The matter of lights, the rates by the producers,~th discrep- ancy in rates charged according to localities has awakened considerable interest throughout the city, an inter- est which the late attack made upon one of the companies-alleged to have been at the instance of its competitor has enhanced. The outcome is close ly watched by every citizen. and ev- cry movement in the affair is followed.
