3STE W JP O nT-Hugle and the Turnpike.We mentioned a few days ago that the case of the Alexandria Pike Company vs. J. R. Hugle, would come up for trial to-morrow. Yesterday Mr. Hugle pleaded guilty to the charge of one warrant, and paid the fine of $10 and costs, and in consideration of it the othqr warrant was withdrawn. Exactly what brought forth thefollowing we are unable to say. It may be tliat the Socialists, of whom Mr. Hugle is a member, counted the chargre a retaliation, as they had made the high rates of toll un the pikt* a party issue, and were load in the denunciation of this affair. Tins is one solution, but hereis the seemingly strange resolution: 1“Resolved, That we, the Directors of the Campbell County Turnpike Company, fully indorse the action ofMr. J. It. Anderson. President of this company, in making complaint and obtaining a warrant for the arrest of Mr. J. ft. Hugle, for evading the payment of toll on said turnpike.‘•Done at a special meeting of the Board, this 15th day of August, 1878. Yeas—C. Menuan, J. Hawthorne, Samuel Morttcfg© and R. T. Thornton; nays—none, the President not voting.“WALTER OVERTON, Secretary.”To the Editor of the Commercial:Notwithstanding the indorsement of the actions of J. It. Anderson by the Board of the Campbell Turnpike Company, the action of Anderson points in every way towards malice to me. Every one that is acquainted with me knows that as far as evading payment of toil or defrauding a turnpike company intentionally out of a cent, or any one else, I would not do it. I leave the public to judge. J. R. HUGLE.
