charges were made then and were prop
err. why, during all these long years
have the towns never been notified OF
their delinquencies?
The credits to various towns was
caused on this wise: In appor,ioning
the quotas of the several towns on the
call of October 1863, an overlap was
made. That is. more men were called
for by the Gov. than would fill the Prcsi-
dents call. So as to make up the loss by
the failure to get men from some places.
Now town "B" responded fully to call
for twenty five (2j) men. But il. fair
quota of the Presidents call would have
been but (2o) men. Then on the ca II
of Feb. 1864. ''B'' mad credit in advance
of five 90 men and the state was reliev-
ed from paving the additional bounty OF
one thousand (l000) dollars. and that
sum is now credited to "B' for 'over
payment Of bounties.'
/ The whole matter Of charges and
credits may have been an effort in the

to be an unequal equalization Of tho

The State Debt.

Mr.. Milldram's resolution. mentioned
in our Augusta dispatch yesterday,
reads a follows:
Resolve relating to the payments OF the
debts of the State contrasted prior To
Feb. 25th. 1869.
Whereas, 1t has been recently decided
by the highest judicial tribunal Of the Unit.
ed States that debts contracted prior to
Feb. Is, lsG2 are payable in gold and sll
yer coin, the only legal tender at the time
of contracting such debts; therefore
Hesoirsd That the State or Maine will
not consent To stand in the attit ude of n
rcpudiator. and that the Treasurer of IN.
State be and is hereby instructed 10 paw
all the outstanding debts OF the State con
tracted prior to Feb %, 1862 in gold and
silver coin
We hope the gentlemen at Augusta
are not gcing to get excited about this
perfectly harmless but somewhat silly
resolution. which merely declares that
the State OF Maine will comply with the
law II the land-a matter, We suppose.
not exactly optional with the State or
its inhabitants.
The funded ucbt OF the State on the
1t ut January. including the loan Of
pal war debts, was b. loo, 300. or this
amount the sum ot S6.gl6.9o has been
borrowed since the date ot the legal
tender act an,Li consequently payable
in legal currency the sum of al 1854 600
was borrowed before the passage of that
act. and j. payable under the decision
in the kentucky ease. in gold. This
sum falls due. $3.50 of it. on the lSt of
March. s25.o on the 9TH of October,
aud the rest in in>tallmcntS PAYABLE in
lsll and 80 on year hy year till 1878.
Il can hardly be doubted that long be-
tore the last inStallmcnt flll- due. all
payments will he made in specie: but
whether they are or not, the duty and
necessity laid upon the State cannot he
questioned.
The only reasonable objection to the
resolution i that il j. -upcrhuous aud
silly. bat It j. % be hoped that Republi-
cans sill not on that account allow
Themselves 10 be drawn into an attitude
Of apparent contradiction Of a ~clt-cvi-

WARRINGTON, ID. G. Fe6'y 2ls, so.
Mr. DEAR SIR: II the confusion
which has arisen In sOme Of the public
journals about estimates aud appropri-
ations and disbursements, the impress
sion has been created that Gen. Grants
administration has expended more
money ia the same time than its inme-
diatc predecessor. This + totally erro-
neous. rs the balance-shcet, on a COM
psrison OF official figures, will clea,Iy
establish. The present Administration
has been In power nearly a year, and
we can compare that period with the
closing twelve months Of President
Johnson's administration. From March

receipts Into the Treasury were little
over three hundred and sixty-eight
million dollars avoid fractions for the
sake oil pcrspicuity. Every dollar of
this was expended, and the public debt
for the same period increased about six
million dollars, "a appears from the

hitting Georgia to representation in Con-
gress, which is precisely the same as the
bill BY which Virginia and Mississippi have
been admitted. There will probably be
strong opposition made to It. on the grounds
that Congress has once declared her cnti-
tied to admission.
The Georgia delegation are intent In
urging the claims OF Hill and Miller upon
the Senate Committee, as entitled TO seats
in the Senate. One Of their strongest ar
gumen,s is that Hill and Miller. were both
| elected L. ). Senators before the Legsla-
ture expelled the colored Members, and
that Governor Bullock has recognized the

i'd.
A lively debate sprang up in the House
