hands OF the Treasurer of $145s. No assess

BRUNSWICK, Jan. II, 1870.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Seeing in the PRESS of Saturday last para
graph relating to disturbance in one of the
school districts IN Brunswick, feel that it is
nothing more than right for the scholars to
have voice in this matter. There are two
sides to the story, and the editor of the Bruns-
wick Telegraph has taken the side against the
district and scholars, and of course sustained
the teacher. The school committee of Bruns-
wick (of which the editor of the Telegraph IS
one) have heard the teachers story, but re-
fused 10 give the scholars hearing; and they
think this course very wrong. 1t is evident
there was some fault with the teacher, or there
would not have been cause for disturbance
in the school. The scholars could bring charges
enough against the teacher to have her dis
charged.
The editor of the Telegraph says there was
not the slightest reason for disturbance in the
school; and he also says it amounted to an out
rage on the teacher. This is not true, and we
hope there will be no more false reports oircu-
lated against the district
The agent of the district has tried to get
teachers to teach the re malrder of the term, but
ne failed, owing to the reports circulated, and
the committee advising them not to take it !;
and the school is without teacher.
You Will confer great favor by putting this
in your paper. ONE OF THE SCHOLARS.

III the State Treasurer Office we find VIM
Caldwell managing our financial affairs. Mr.
Caldwell has been in this Office twentv-s;r
years as clerk, Deputy Treasurer and finally
as Treasurer. His long term of service is of
itself the highest compliment that can be paid.
for it is the living evidence that all regard him
as an honest man: He has associated with
him as Deputy his brother, Sylyanus Cald-
we'll, who'has three times been elected as Nav
or of Augusta, and has for years been a lead
ing merchant here.
OTHER STATE DEPARTMENTS

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
Much opposition exists to the pronosed
scheme of railroad consolidation, but as vet no

FALSE STATEMENTS CORRECTED

balance this indebtedness, it remains to be de.

MIR. EDIToR,-One would think from a pe-
rusal of some of the Maine papers, that the seat
of Government was already changed from Au-
gusta to somewhere, but at the present date
the capital and Capitol are still at Augusta.
Some slight feeling exists on the part of few
at the price of board charged at one of our
leading hotels, but it would be libel upon
our intelligent legislators to think they would
let the price of a dinner, or lodging, control
their vote, upon so important a question as
removal of the Capitol. The question has not
been discussed or even seriously thought of,
and probably will not be mooted until the
debt Of the State is reduced to smaller sum
than eight millions.
