Cyitering Without Licensee.Complaint was made to State’s Attor-

ney Posey last week that persons wereengaged in catching oysters in the Poto-mac in the neighborhood ofCedar Pointwithout having a license as required bylaw. Under his advice information waslodged before Justice Reeder and Con-stable Tippett apprehended about fortyof the oystermen. The Justice imposeda line of $5 and cost in each case. Sincethen the clerk has issued 25 licenses. Itis reported that a number of vessels arealso engaged in dredging in the samewaters without a license. The policelxat doesn’t appear to be patrolling theoyster grounds as formerly. This vio-lation of law ought to be stopped as theState is thus deprived of a considerablerevenue. —Port Tobateo Timet.

Will our brother inform us if the Jus-tice obeyed the law in imposing a fineof $5 .and costs* We think he didn’t.

towutava Ueals.(From our Regular Correspondent.)

The entertainment which came offISthinstant at the VUIa. Point Lookout, was•n exceedingly enjoyable affair. Thetable* were replete with good thingsand many thanks are due to Mr. andMrs. Wm. Yeatman for their untiring'efforts to please the many ladles madgentlemen present. Dancing was keptQp until a late hour. The poetry ofmotion and the eloquence of feet renderwords supertlnous here to describe thescene in the ball-room.

Rain, sleet, snow and sunshine alter-nating make up the weather at present.Some sleighing was indulged recently,and while Mr. James Roach was walkingalong the Three Notched road be wasstruck by the pole of a sleigh and knock-ed down, and; perhaps, be would haresustained painful injuries had it notbeen for the timely aid of Messrs. W. R.Pembroke and J. Frank Dunbar whorescued him from being tramped uponby the horses. Accidents will occur andDominick Raley expressed much regretin consequence of the occurrence as itwas the pole of his sleigh that struckMr. Roach.

M e notice that barreled oysters con-tinue to be shipped to points north, and,•o far as our knowledge goes, remunera-tive figures are received for the same.

Roads are sloppy and traveling conse-quently is unpleasant. Those who be-take themselves to the turf find it notvery agreeable just now as race coursesarc like the roads. Horse racing is saidto be a racy sport, and the noble ani-mals, it is asserted by some, like the sporttoo.

Messrs. J. J. Greenwell and RobertLoker of your town, were on a visit toSt. Inigo’s a few days ago. They calledat the Pine before they left for home.Both gentlemen appeared to be in buoy-ant spirits—really it seemed to be mir-rored in their countenances.

There was mass at St. Michael’s lastSunday. Re*. Fr. Tynan cautioned hiscongregation from saying and believingwe arc not worse than our neighbors;wc only live like other people; we muttdo as others do—Rev. Father T. is agood man and his endeavors to keep his•flock’ from “walking according to thecourse of the world,” which is the broadroad, which “leadeth to destruction,”are untiring.

Daniel Barns, colored, has charge of aschool of Catholic children at theTrappc. Daniel was employed underW. Frank Ford. Esqr., Tobacco Inspect-or, and as he had nothing comparativelyto do there in the warehouse, Baltimore,he returned home and look charge ofthe school in question.

Tuesday last Mr. William B. Floydpresented us with a sample of the pret-

tiest tobacco of the crop of 1890 wehave yet seen. It is on exhibition at ouroffice.

Monday last Mr. Frank Unkofcr in-formed us that he had no insurance onhis dwelling at “White Point,” recentlydestroyed by fire. He thinks the fire ori-ginated from a defective fine.

Wo are indebted to the Hon. RobertP. Graham, Comptroller of the Mary-land State Treasury, for a copy of hisreport for the fiscal year ending Septem-ber 50. 1896.

Wednesday last we were presentedwith a yeast powder bottle filled with

mud and having growing out of its moutha large oyster. The bottle and oysterwere caught in Britton’s Bay.

Mrs. Mary Greenwell has removedfrom “Hunter’s Retreat” to Leonardtownand is residing with her son. Clerk Jas.J. Greenwell. Mrs. G. is one of the most

pleasant ladies in the county, and willbe a great acquisition to the society ofthe town.

Monday last, twelve Baltimore men,“tried and true,” without leaving thejurv box, rendered a verdict of “notguilty” in the case of Mrs. Emma Irwin,charged with being an accessory to herhusband’s murder. Matthews, the con-demned murderer, refused to testify.

Quite a large crowd was at the CourtHouse Tuesday last and listened to thetrial of the suit of R. T. Hammett vs theCountv Commissioners for damages tobuggy* on public road. The suit wasbefore Justice Jo. F. Morgan. Camalierfor plaintiff and E. B. Abell for defen-dants.

John Burroughs, colored, of St. Ma-

[Comm chicated.A Few Nnta for tho Courts to Crook.

In looking over the columns of theBaltimore Sun I find the following:

Boards ok Control and Review.—The question of the right of the coun-ty commissioners to act as a board ofcontrol and review for the reassessmentin Carroll county is being very freelydiscussed by the people. Quite* a num-ber hold that it is a violation of articles33 anti 85 of the declaration of rights,prohibiting the holding of two offices atthe same time. It is expected that thematter will soon be brought before thecourt, so that it may be definitely settled.

Now, if such a condition of things ex-ist in the time honored county of Car-roll, who can say that they do not existhere to a greater degree ? and it is butjust to the taxpayers of Maryland to calla halt and take steps to remedy thisgrowing evil of wanton waste of thecounty’s money to enrich the purse of afavored few in utter disregard of allmorality and law. Some time ago, inLeonardtown, I heard a lawyer of highstanding say that he did not intend topay his taxes this year, as they coaid notbe legally collected for many reasonsdirectly contrary to all law on the sub-ject, and it now looks as though be wasright. First, show me the law that au-thorized our county commissioners toconstitute themselves into a board ofcontrol and review before the asses-sors had finished their work. Second,when they constituted themselves into aboard of control and review, were theynot holding two offices at the same time,contrary to all law ? They may say not,but Idiffer with them. They constitu-ted themselves as a board of control andreview, and did they not commission

themselves as such ? Most assuredlythey did. Now, 1 will gq a little furtherand make it plainer. When they ap-point a constable, do they not commis-sion him as such ? He receives his com-mission from the county commissioners,and the filing of his bond entities himto do all constable business, and surelyno one doubts that be is a commissionedofficer of the county Yluly qualified. Butwhen they (the connty commissioner*)go farther and appoint a constable astax collector, as is now the case in thiscounty, is not that officer holding twocommissioned offices in utter disregardof all law * And as the first appoint-ment and commission takes precedence,his acts as collector must necessarily be

noil and void; and should he prove a de-faulter (but I am sure be will not) thepoor taxpayers could be made again paytheir taxes, as they did not pay them toa legally constituted tax collector; andfurther still, I will and can go farther—-for a man to be a justice of the peace,deputy sheriff and jailor, bolding three

commissioned offices at the same time,beats the climax, and shows high Repub-lican carnival. I suppose this meansthat he can issue bis warrant, directedto the sheriff of the county, then go andmake the arrest, then try the prisoner,then put him in jail in utter disregard ofall common decency and law to the con-trary notwithstanding. But this isenough for this time, so let every law-abiding citizen be up and doing his shareto bring before the courts this assess-ment iniquisy upon the poor down trod-den fanners of St. Mary's and other

counties. Ifnothing unforseen happensI will give yon quite a lengthy letter foryour next issue, wherein I will give the

public much that some people wouldliked to have been kept in the dark.
