VASSAJRORO' March % 1877

10 the Editor of the Press:
The annual municipal election took place in
this town on Monlay, and notwithstanding
the bad condition of the roads and the location
of the Town house, a larger number than usu-
al were early on the ground, indicating an
expectation that somebody wanted to do some
thing that somebody else was determined he
would prevent his doing if he could. The
greatest excitement was in electing second
seectman, when four ballotings were had, re-
sultng in the election of VIM. Fl. Gates. The
opposing candidates were Alex Hall and j.
H. Allen. Messrs. o. Halves, VIM. H. Gates
and J. II. Allen, all Republicans, were elected
seleclmen.
The town voted to pay to persons who pro-
cured substitutes during the war, the amount
they paid out that had not been returned to
them in bounties. The question OF maintain
ing liquor agency was ably and fully oiscuss-
ed, and the vote almost unanimous against it.
DR.. Gates stated that during. a practice nj about
.-.-tJ AZ ySais ne mad found no case In
which it was absolutely necessary to use any
alcoholic liquors, C,

Political Notes.

Virginia Republicans say that the late move
ments of Gov. Walker are Tor the purpose of
ultimately getting all the Republicans in the
State out of Office.
Inquiry shows that no one had the least
warrant for saying there has been adifficulty
between Secretary Boutwell, and Commission
err Delano. The commissioner has talked OF
resiguing, but has never put his idea into
writing and his friends do not believe that he
will at present give up the position. The
Secretary has heard nothing of the matter.
Democratic papers confidently affirm that
Secretary Boutwell, viii be prominent can
didate for the next Presidency.
The Reconstruction Committee propose tt
take hold of Utah after getting through will
Tennessee, and reconstruct that Territory up
on monogamic basis.

| tion of the 18th amendment is still delayed b,
the refusal of Congress to admit Georgia.

More Com missiOners.

Last year was an exceptional one in this State
from the tact that it afforded employment at
the public expense to an extraordinary num-
Der of persons. The revision of the statutes,
the equalization of the war debts and the new
valuation of property and enumeration OF
polls afforded Legitimate and necessary occa-
sions for the appointment of persons to take
charge of those important public interests
Besides the special commissions, which eX-
pire by their own Limitation the present year
number of new commissions or departments
have within few years been added to tne
regular and permanent official machinery u
the State.
We have no objection to such OF these au-
djtions IN the official force of Maine as are
necessary. Most of the permanent ones nave
been wise and judicious, though Inc limit De-
vond which they cease to be eX2edlent is
now. we should think, almost reached, while
such sinecures as the office Of Adjutant Gen
eral and Land Agent continue to exist. But
the emoluments resulting from appointments
on special commissions seem to have given
the creation OF such boards an extraordinary
impetus. Gentlemen who desire to engage in
light and at the same time remunerativs
employment study up some fantastic schems
which may serve as an excuse tor the appoint
ment of board of commissioners, or of 6
special agent. and hurry to the State Capita
to impress their disinterested views upon til,
Legislature. Generally they are successful
and the result will soon be, if this practice
continues, that the State government, whicl
in its normal condition is exceedingly eco
nomical, will be very extravagant. 1t is nov
too late for the Legislature of this year tt
give these considerations much attention, Blu
next year it will BE- about time either to stol
