By the act of February 27, Isl, * * It is enacted that the laws of the state of Mary- Jand, as they now exist, shail be and continue in force in that part of the district ceded by that state and accepted by the United States. Among those laws is THE MARYLAND DECLARATION OF RIGHTS by which it is declared that “every persou in the state ought to contribute his proportion of pub- lic taxes for the support of the government, ac- cording to bis actual worth in real and personal property witbin this state.” By this article the [ogtietare can impose no tax upon any parcien- lat property which ix not equally borne by every species of property in the state in proportion to its value (6 Gill 290.) ‘Till this articte of the declaration of rights is repealed by Congress (if ever that bedy has the power to repeal it, which I deny.) a tax which is directly contrary to the rule of proportion in value must be held a nul- ity.

He thonght the corporation bad the power to regulate dogs; their keeping and the responsi- bility of tke owners. The power is gitgn to the corporation to regalate the public health, and 0 under it to hold owners of dogs responsible for their good conduct. He did not believe in the idea ‘that dogs are to he treated as sacred property. They are | mulsan jonsily, when ina rabid spasm, When well-bebarcd they are d source of comfort, days” come the people in the city hunt them, and when cooler weather comes when the dang-r of Gogs going mad is over families get attached to them. On the whole bis experience is that dogs are a nuance. He had not much respect for the sacred rights of “My Maryland” on the subject, and beueved that the legislative power of Congress wos superior to that law.

If apy one knew who she was they appeared to keep their distance. She arrived on Srey morning, and entered the house at half-past 12. She was dressed in deep mourning, with a dou- ble black crape vail fowing nearly to her feet. She moved nervously toward the rear pat!or, where the remains were lying.

Sun, 20h, STOKES STORY OF THE SHOOTING OF Freak, In the Stokes trial in New Yor« yesterday atter our report closed, Stokes continued his story of the shooting of Firk. He swore that Fisk drew @ pistol, which Le pointed towards him (Stokes) holding it with both bands. When witness dred, Fisk exclaimed “(b,” and at the second shot Fiek turned partly around and said he war shot, and seemed to drop his pistol. Stokes testified further that he bad no chagrin to kill Fisk, and had no time to think; saw Fisk's pis- tol distinctly, and believed his life in danger; did not take ticular aim at Fisk. Stokes denied that the boy Hart was anywhere aroun. at the time, and Hart's testimony that he crouched along the corridor ig not true; he was unable to retreat on meeting Fisk. The pris- oner also testified that @ man named Brady came to him and cautioned him tobe very care- fol, as Fisk sent for him $1,(00 for “laying out” Stokes. Miss Mans- field and Miss Williams also advised him to be careful, as Fisk had threatened to shoot him. Girt Exteernises.—There is asmart family up town. It consists of a tather, mother, aud seven children. Lefore Christmas the old folks hit upon the following shrewd plan: Selecting the families of friends in which there was but a 8 = child, a handsome present was purchased and sent to ita day in advance in the name of the seven Foungsters of the scheming family. Of course this implied reciprocity on the part of the old toiks who owned the single juvenile. It would not do to send one present for seven gift makers, neither would it be appropriate to send one less costly or elegant than that re- ceived. There being no other alternative than to reciprocate the compliment to all in kind, the father of the lone youngster, witha neavy heart, dispatches seven presents, each in value equal te the one his darling was favored with, and thus by a little shrewd management, the paternal ancestors of the seven olive branches Teaped 8 seyen-fold dividend from their thoughtful investment.

The gate is made to tit tight against the bottom of the canal when down, and weighs four tons. Young Gill was crushed between it and the cana! bed, and mangled into ashapeless mass, from his waist down. As the gates fell he gave one piercing sbriek.—Roundout Freeman, Dec. 20.
