The vote of Cyr Plantation was not counted
because the record of its organization was not
returned to the Secretary of States Office, so
the certificate of election was given to Mr.
Dickey.
The committee gave the widest latitude to
the parties in their Investigations and went in
= to the LOYALTY 90 tl~ organization of each
plantation in the district. Five members are
of the opinion that the vote of Cyr should not
be counted, which would give Mr.. Dickey the
seat by fourteen majority, while two of the
committee contend that if the vote of Cyr is
thrown out the vote of every plantation should
be, and if they were all disallowed Mr. Keegan
would be elected by seven majority, but they
are of the opinion that the vote of every plan
tation should be counted which gives the seat
to MIR. Keegan by fifteen majority. Both re-
ports will be submitted to the House next
week, and warm and long debate is expected
before q decision is revoked by the House.
THE PEABODY EMBRoGLIo.
The action of the Legislature upon their

Peabody is to be regretted. The matter has
been before each branch SO often and acted

seem that they neglected to look upon the SUBJ

own dignity even if they did not care to pay
their respects to the great philantbropist

In March last Mr.. Edward Learned. of
Pittsheld, Mass, printed in the Bankers Mag
" dztne a plan for the easy payment of the pub
lie debt, which attracted some attention at the
time and is now receiving renewed discussion
and notice. Mr.. Learned lays down RUE
that debt bearing per cent. interest can NC
paid, both principal and interest, III hVtie
less than tbirty-four years, by paying one per
cent. on the principal, and the full amount of
the interest on the original sum, cash paid
annually. The time named is about the life
of a generation. The solution of the nrob-
lem presented by Mr.. Learned is easy. Sum-
pose the debt is S2,000,00O,O00, then s14OOO0-
0o0 year are required, of which s12OO Ono
are for interest and $50 100000 for the cancel
ing fund.- The second year the debt is reduced
to 81 ,9So,OO0,0OO; the interest is Sis, 100000
and The canceling fund receives S21 200 600.
The third year the debt is 81 ,95S 500 600; the
interest SIT 100000, and the fund receives
S22,46O,O00. So the work goes on. The sum
raised to pay interest and debt remains uni
form. The actual interest grows lighter each
year, and each year the canceling fund in
creases. Meantime the resources of the CONN.,
try and its means and ability to pay the debt
increase. Then the material wealth. now nut
at S25,O0o, 100000, becomes at the end of thir-
ty-four years $112,OOo,oOO,OOO, by an estimat-
ed increase based on the actual increase of the
last sixty years. As the aggregate wealth in
creases to the amount above stated, and the
sum raised annually is the same, the people

war debts and limited assumption and REIN


bursement thereof by the State" declares in
section sixth that No payment sha III be made
to any, city, town or plantation under the pro-
visions of this act, until all sums due TO the
State from said city, town or plantation shall
be fully liqudated.' And in conformity with
this law the State Treasurer deducts the
amount advanced by the State to any town
from the amount found due such town by the
Equalization Committee.
The amount due from the State to towns
arises from the fact that numerous towns adj
vanced to men enlisting, State bounty. which
thew were authorized to do by act of February.
1864.
So it seems (and your correspondent has
been very careful to gather these facts from Of
fetal sources) that the indebtedness due the
State was proper indebtedness, and the
Treasurer is simply acting in conformity with
law in compelling payment from the towns
Even Representatives should be cautious about
charging fraud and villany until they have
something reliable to substantate their
charge. Your correspondent is informed that
the forthcoming report of the Equalization
Committee makes no reference to this matter
whatever, so it cannot unearth any villany in
this connection, as Mr.. Hume intimated it
would. That the public demand an investiga-
ton into the alleged paper credit frauds, and
one that shall be final, is undenia5le; such an
investigation should and will be made; but
while the public are anxious for this, let not
unjust and unfounded charges be made against
everybody and everything.

DEATH OF GEORGE D. PRENTICE. The death
Of Georre d. Prentice, of Louisville. XIV. is
ANNOUNCED. The event iock pace early Sat
uraay morning, at the residence of his son,
nine miles from Louisville, after an illness OF
but day or two. But though his las confne-
ment was brief, Mr.. Prentice has been failing
in health for number of years, and the peo-
pie, to whom deceased had endeared himself,
had watched with some solicitude the decline
of man who had become famous in American
journalism, and stood in pride of intellect by
the side of our most noted publicists.
Mr.. Prentice was a native of Preston, CT,
67 years of age. He was graduated at Brown
University in 1923, and prepared himself for
the profession of the law, but continued its
practice only few years, choosing rather edi-
torial lite, in v hich, as all know. he won an
honorable distinction. In 1923 he edited the
NeaC England Weekly ReUie'c, puohsned' we

batable ground" of one of the border States at
the breaking out of the rebellion, when Ken

Union and secession, Mr.. Prentice threw the
weight OF his great intellect and personal pop

State to the Union. The connection of a son
with the Confederate army and his subsequent
death on the field, was terrible blow to Mr.
Prentice, from which he never recovered
