To the Editor of the Press: s - 20 .5
At the last term of court for this county not
a criminal case was tried, and only three YER
diets were rendered in civil suits. Of these
the largest was for $25OO, in favor of Julia A
Parsons against the city Of Lewiston for severe
injuries sustained by striking the foot against
apiece OF unchambered plank, which had been
nailed upon defective sidewalk. There were
1O3 entries of new cases, a small number, as
usual in this county, which is rather barren
field for lawyers.

Editors Press and Herald
In your issue of the LIST inst. under the head OF
Educational Items" is a slight error, which may
mislead many, viz: " That have succeeded in OBJ
tanning from the State the balance of the money due
this county from the school fund for the present
year"
1 have obtained only the balance due this county
from the school fund, on an apportionment made by
the Comptroller Aug. Sd, for 1866, which amounts
to As cents and 7-l00s Of a cent for each child OF
school age in the county This does not include the
interest due in 1866, on account of the unsettled
condition of that portion of the school revenue.
The increase made in school revenue by the
amendments of March, 1867, will produce an
amount for each of the years 1867 and 1865 nearly
double that of 1866, and both will be due when the
five months school, now opened, will be ready 10
close, and the appOrtionment from the Comptroller
for both years are expected on or before January
1863.
The State has made provision for tho support of
the schools for period Of five months, each year.
The amount due viii support the schools in ma
Ority Of the districts longer than five months but
not ten months, a scholastic year, and it remains
with the people of each district TO say whether they
will vote school tax to supplement the school fund
and perpetuate their schools, allow them to close
when the amount due from the State shall have
been expended.
The question Of local taxation will probably be
brought before the people of the first civil district
by the Board of Education during the present
month, and every friend of education will vote aye.

One Of WashlngtOn'S Supporters, Led
to the Polls by a Young Lady, Votes
for Grant.

Great enthusiasm was created at the Davenport
township polls, on the fair grounds, yesterday by
spectacle which would have stirred the patriotic
blood of every true-hearted American in the land
In the afternoon a low-seated buggy was driven
up to the polls by beautiful young lady By he1
side was seated Deacon Gilbert, father of E. S. Gil
bert, Esq, after whom Gilbert-town was named
Deacon Gilbert is upwards of one hundred years
OF age. He cast his first Presidential vote in 1888
IN the State of New York, for George Washington,
and has voted at every Presidential election since
that year,
Miss Holmes assisted the centenarian and patriot
to alght and placing her arm in his, accompanied
him to the polls. He handed an open, straight Re-
publican ticket to the judges As he did So the BY
ISLANDERS broke into cheers, which did not cease IN
til three had been given for the aged Republican,
followed by three more for the young lady who ac-
companled him. The citizens present gathered
about the good old man. and as they did so he said
"Gentemen, voted twice for George Washington.
lie was the best man for the Presidency in his dav.
Now, have voted for Gen. Grant-thank God that
l have lived so long-whom believe to be the best
man for President in his day. He was instrumen-
tai IN saving the Government which Washington
founded"
IL was no wonder that as the venerable supporter
OF Washington and of Grant-what leap in time
made LIS way to the carriage again, with his
beautiful friend upon his arm, many in the crowd
uncovered their heads. AS he seated himself the
crowd again broke into cheers which continued
until Deacon Gilbert and his companion were out
of sight.

The Legislature.

The General Assembly reassembled last
Monday They met while yet the shouts
Of victory were ringing through the land
They met, sustained by the moral support
of an overwhelming majority of their own
constituents, and by a majority in the
United States, which approaches a half
million. Such a vindication of thor past
course is rarely given in Republican Gov
ernmonts. It seems to us the lesson is one
of straightforward adherence TO the prin-
ciples and policy so astonishingly endorsed
by the loyalty, intelligence and patriotism
Of the American people. Backward steps
now, would be dishonorable, unmanly We
write thus, not that We fear such steps are
intended but because we know appeals
will be made to the magnanimity of great
party, flushed with extraordinary success,
to deal literally with The vanquished. We
hope our Legislature viii remember the
tabled viper which turned upon its bene-
factor and destroyed him. Georgia, Ala,
bama and Louisiana furnish striking ox-
amples Of what magnanimity towards those
of approaching and rightly using
the magnanimity shown them will result
in. We trust our representatives. will not
throw away the fruits of the victory by a
foolish display Of magnanimity towards
hose who do not deserve it, and who would
abuse it to the detriment and danger of the

In the Third District, Gen. VIM. B. Stokes beats
his Opponent by large majority. ..r-es

Adventures Of a Dressing Gown.

! a lady was anxious to make her husband
present on the occasion of his birthday
and 1t happening to fall in winter, she
thought dressing gown would be most
useful acquisition to his domestic comfort
So she went and purchased fine Partisan
pattern, one we'll wadded Not remember
ing the exact height of her husband, she
thought it best to purchase one rather too
long than too short, to make sure of its use
fulness. The day was wet, the husband re-
turned in the afternoon, and she presented
him with the new article of comfort and
he fancied it indeed a great article Of com
fort after he had put off his wet garments.
But it was about ten inches too long.
go never mind, said the affectiOnate
wife, " can easily shorten it to suit you"
They had a party in the evening, and
were very merry; and every one admired
the beautiful dressing gown. After they
had gone to bed the wind and rain made
such a noise that the wife couldn't sleep :;
her husband, however, snored unsteady
She arose without disturbing him, took the
dressing gown and commenced her work,
cutting off about the length of ten inches
to make it suit her husbands stature, and
then went to bed again.
In the morning she was up early to make
some arrangements with her housekeoper,
as several friends were expected to dinner
that day. Scarcely had the lady left the
room, when her sister-a good natured old
lady who lived with them-stopped in on
tip toe in order not to disturb the sleeper,
took the dressing gown, and fastening to
her room, cut off about ten inches, as she
knew it was too long the night before.
An hour after the gentlemen awoke, and
was now anxious to surprise his wife,
Ringing for q servant, he was told to take
the dressing gown to tailor and have it |

The Hero OF the War Inevitably thc
President.

Now General Grant is elected, we very
much doubt whether any kind of opposi.
| ton could have defeated him. The hero ot
every war this country has had has been
made President of the United States and il
was inevitable, we believe, that the hero ot
the late civil war should also be elevated
to the Chief Magisterial office.
The President was urged, two years AGO
to take Grant into his counseIs, and Tins
dictate, as it were, his successor. But the
President wanted still to be President. He
did not recognize the inevitable fate which
would compel the hero of the war to he

usurpations could only be sustained by the
sword, naturally looked to the General of

A Richmond View Of the Future.

We shall indulge no idle hopes that the
conservative sentiment of the country can
yet compel the revolutionists 10 give up
their mad enterprises Conservatism is too
much of a laggard, and, we fear, will only
come upon the scene when the tragedians
have finished the tragedy. We shall not
build any expectations upon the power OF
any organized opposition unles it quickly
shows its cogency to restrain the intemper-
ate spirit Of the power it has not been able
to vanquish. Our hopes are wholly self-re-
liant. This glorious old Commonwealth
was never intended by God and nature to
become the mean prey of unprincipled adj
venturers, and by the aid of her own true
sons she never viii. Our adversarios dare
not yet discard the forms of Republican
Government, and by the proper use of the
means we have in our power we shall still
make those forms avail us for salvation, at
least until the whole country is caught up
in the tide of the coming revolution. We
shall soon find our metal, our detesmina-
ton and our endurance tested in fiercer
fire than ever, unless we do not read Alright
the signs Of the times-Ricb. Etlq'r. &c EC'r

some unknown persons last night near

Madison. They broke open cases Of rifles,
and broke and distributed them along the
track for several miles, The ammunition
met the same fate. 1t cost the State $40,

LINCOLN AND GEN. PRM.-Mr. Lincoln, the

compelled TO reach Washington in the disguise of

stain of slavery from its Institutions For this he
was murdered by the fell spirit of slavery.
