At a meeting of the Democratic F.xec

The basis of representation will be the

resentation i the State Convention.

MAYOR'S COl'KT.
The Mayor was in a good humor yes
terday morning when he ojenltl court,
and as the first case was called, that of
Wade Jones, on a charge of disorderly
conduci , he gave strict attention to the
pleadingr, of the prisoner friends, and
in consideration of the fact that Wade
was a pretty good fellow, this being his
first appearance in any court, his honor
thought ten cents and trimmings -(costs)
was sulrieient punishment.
John Lee was the next one called,
charged with being drunk and disorderly,
he was lined 2 and costs.
John Goolsbey got a little too much
tangle-foot under his vest, and had to
pay and costs for the indulgence.
Josh Jemmisomon a charge of disturb
ing the public peace and quiet, was fined
$2 and costs.
Yesterday about noon Mr. Ioeh's horse
became frightened at the arte3ian well on
Lemon street, and dashed off at a lively
gait, and, in attempting to turn into Wa
ter street, he ran on Dunn's sidewalk, de
molished a wheelbarrow and threw a
harrow into the street, and left the lody
and hind w heels of the buggy to which
he was hitched in front of E. T. Lane's
hardware store. Near tho Presbyterian
church he threw himself on his back,
where he was secured and disentangled
from the harness and shafts. Runaways
are becoming quite frequent of lat1, and
owners of horse cannot caution dirters
too particularly fts to being careful in
driving and eecurely hitching thm
While on the streets.

8f.vii.le, Fla., June 3tli. lsS4.
Editor Palatka News.
As a friend to, and lieliever in the in
tegrity and ability of the Hon. Charles
Dougherty, allow me a short space in
your columns for a few remarks upon
certain reports which axpear to be in cir
culation concerning him.
The only objection, so far as I have
Ix-en able to learn to his candidacy, is
that his morals" are not up to the stan
dard requisite for a member of congress.
Vho is it that vent tires to prescrihe what
that standard should he, I know not. hut
I hazard tho assertion th.it. if put to the
i-criptural test, they would not have the
right to cast a stone at anvone.
No one has attempted to attack Mr. j
Dougherty's honest v or ability. Finding '
no other point of attack, his opponent.; ;
assail his morals not
ifVnllv, but
generally and fall hack uprn thoswrep-
jreg and unmeaning assertion that Dotigh-
ertv is not a "proper" man to send to '
congress. j
I have had within the last two years, :
probably as good opportunities as anyone j
of observing Mr. Donghertv. both in his i
public capacity and as a private citizen.
I saw him during the last session of the
legislature, presiding with as much dig
nity and as great fairness and impartiality
as any man could show. No man who
ever sat in the speaker's chair evinceiLa j
more thorough understanding of parlia- j
mentnry law and practice, and tho deci- I
sions of no speaker were received with j
greater respect or "more generally com
mended. 1 saw him attending to bis
legislative duties with the same intelli
gence, energy and industry which he
manifests in everything he does. Since
I have had business relations with him
as have thrown me pretty constantly in
his society, and thus far have failed to
see in him those vices which tho malice
of his political enemies would ascribe to
him. I have no wish to claim for Mr.
Dougherty that he is either a saint or a
pattern of all the virtues, but I can and
do assert with confidence that he is as
free from faults as the generality of men,
and that his ways of life are those of an
honorable southern gentleman. In these
respects he compares very favorably with
his Opponents and detractors: in integ
rity, ability and legislative experience,
he is fej ie peer of any man in this district.
It may seem, perhaps, somewhat un
necessary to reply to charges which have
lx?en insinuated rather than openly ad
vanced, but these slanders have been so
persistently whispered and circulated,
and so frequently commented upon, that
I feel justified in branding them as mali
cious falsehoods emanating from the
hostility of those who resort to this cow
ardly method of attempting to besmirch
a character they dare not openly attack.

Taxation and Mr. Lylo.
FrTTTLand, Fla., June 27, 18S4.
T.ditor Falatk a News :
In my letter in the The News of the 5th
inst., I made a bad mistake in reference
to O. W. Lyle's return of real estate for
1SS3.
I stated that it was for 2o acres of
land in San Mateo; it was for 50 acres;
for that mistake I would offer due apolo
gy, but the rest of the statements I made
ARE correct. The fact that G. W. Lyle
owns hundreds of acres of land in Clay
county is something that I neither know
or care about, nor have I ever aecused
him of it. The 23 acre lot that is re
turned by his agent is not fully taxed,
and I was never assured by the asses-or
that it was. The public will remember
that the value of real estate returned by
G. W. Lyle for lss: Was raised by the
Board of Commissioners at the equaliza
tion meeting last year. It was consid
ered nt the time of the raise that tho 23
acre lot was embraced in the return of
G. W. Lyle of property for taxation, as
it shotvid have been, but at the meeting
of the Board to hear complaints, etc.,
held October 2d and 3d, it was found
that the 23 acre lot was included in the
return of .not as agent for (J. W.
Lyle, but with other land of which the
23 acre lot was a part, viz : 100 acres.
When it was so found it was too late to
raise the value of the 100 acres and
groves upon it to its proper level, cm ac
count of the law relating to notice to be
given to the owners of property so raised,
hencetliegre.it fall in valuation of (;.
W. Lyle's property in last October. G.
W. Lyle was told at the time that it-was
a deception which he had successfully
practiced upon the Beard of Commission
ers. According to his letter of June 12,
his returns for a 34 and a 5 acre lot is 50
acres 1 1 acres of extra honesty. If f had
it I'd cackle and lay eggs all over it. Of
11. R. Lyle's paying "taxes on real estate
in this county to the extent of 75 per
annum" we have only his word for it. I
sav that the name of II. R. Lvle does
j not appear upon the tax books of J'ut-
j nam county for the year ISsa as paring
! any tax whatever; and anvone T.vho
wants more proof than my word can ex
amine the 1h h k in question; it is public
property, and open to inspection, ,'th
in.o; was said in the Lyle letter of the (Cth
alout the "similar charges maileil in
Novemlier, I think:"' does he wan' to
think, or is he afraid it might tie rotten
as my 25 acre egg return of G. "VY. Lyle
was. I
I again demand that the Lyles prove
i the charges they have made against
! Board of Commissioners, and give "f
i i ,
the
facts
nna ngures to support tne same,
