State of Maine Felt Companv

MR.. EDToR.-A company for the manu-
featuring. of felt goods has commenced opera
ton at West Buxton village, in the wooden
mills lately leased by Messrs. Hirst & GRAY.
The manufacture and use of this class of WOOL
en- good is of comparatively recent origin.
1t is scarcely ten years since the introduc-
ton and use of this kind of felting was made
in this country, and the fact that this is the
first and only mandatory in this State,
makes it worthy of especial attention.
The enterprise is under the direction of
Mr.. Joseph Hirst, who has associated with
him some skilful and experienced workmen.
This kind OF goods, which is now so extern
sively used for ladies' skirts and piano and
table covers, can be made, finished, colored
and printed in the best style at these mills.
Their first specimens appear to be fully
equal to the best felt goods in the market
being line, compact, and impervious to water
while theifTich color render them attrac-
two as well as durable.
This company will soon be able to turn off
large supply of first quality goods. They
Will give attention also to the manufacture Of
carriage robes, while the coarser grades of
Wool VIII be made into horse blankets
The superiority of these goods over the
coarse, rough and ventilated shoddy of war
limes and its privileges, is one of the indica-
tions of better era.
Mr.. Hirst, who has been engaged at Cor
ham and more recently at West Buxton in
furnishing the market with those fine speci-
mems of water proof cloakin g, is practical
manufacturer from boyhood, and has nat
ural taste for the business; after three years
service in the army as a member of the 9th
Mass. Battery, he has returned with the scars
that will perpetuate the memory of Gettys-
burg, TO resume his former occupation.

The State of Iowa, through which this road runs

IT IS NOT attempted to be denied that
Timothy Hurley, the head-man on the Bow
en-Radical legislative ticket for Charleston
County; has for two years been paid agent,
buying and selling the votes OF the members
of the General Assembly. This crimina!
conduct wholly units him to be a representa-
tive of the people in the Legislature OF the
State, and it is downright absurdity to
say that "Mr. Hurley, as a member OF the
Legislature, under oath, will not be T..

We have no faith in this sudden repentance
When Mr.. Hurley has proved that he does
intend to turn over new leaf, and keep it
turned, it will be time enough to ask for the
confidence aud support OF the people. For
the present Mr.. Hurley had better take q
back seat.

some of the many American officers who have

Egyptian service, the list including such men
as Generals Reynolds, Stone, Loring, Jeniter,
Mott, Sibley, Rhett and others, whose names
are familiar to most Americans, most of them

losing side in our late war. Most OF them, if
not all, are West Point educated men, and had
been in service in the United States army. In

THE Scott Ring assert in their lackadaisi-
Cal address that the plan Of the Land Com
mission is ''liberal, wise and far-sighted," "
All this we admit. But where is the benefit
10 the poor man, in having to pay the Land
Commission nearly twice as much as similar
tracts are worth in the same market. Either
the Ring intend TO cheat the State out Of the
difference between the nominal price and the
amount of money actually paid; or else they
will saddle it all on the poor man, and allow
him, as a privilege to buy lot OF land from
the commission at fifty per cent more than
its value.

The Address TO the People of Charleston

At meeting OF the Central Reform Club
aud County Executive Committee, held Oh
Tuesday night, resolution was unanimous
ly adopted directing the chairman to prepare
and publish Immediately, an address to the
people of Charleston, showing what had
been accomplished and what part this city
and county were expected to play in the
fast approaching elections That address is
printed in our issue of this morning, and to
it we beg leave to call the serious attention
of every citizen whose interests are in any
way identified with the prosperity OF this
city and State.
In Charleston County there are $4,000
qualified voters, of whom fifteen thousand
are colored. The contest between the Scott
party and the Reform party will he
both sharp and close, and upon the
vote of Charleston, in all probability, de-
pends the result OF the momentous struggle.
This county, if properly canvassed, should
give at least ten or twelve thousand votes
for the Reform candidates, and if the mer-
chants and business men OF this city, as well
as the young men, do their whole duty, We
can elect our county ticket and give Carpen-
ter and Butler q fair majority.
We do not hesitate to say that, in our
opinion, a Reform victory in Charleston
County will give us the State by hand
some majority. Without Charleston We can
win, but with Charleston the election of the
State ticket may be counted on as certain
This is why the whole State looks to Charles
ton for vigorous and efficient Work, and, now
that the whole issue is presented to the peo-
pie in unmistakable terms, We do not fear
that they will be found wantingin public
spirit, or common business sense.

A Profitable Speculation.

The Scott Ring, in their campaign adj
dress, say that they funded the bills OF the
Bank of the State, in order that the treasurer
might not be compelled to accept them, at
par; in payment OF taxes. This is all moon
shine. No court OF final jurisdiction had de
cidel that those old bills must be paid by
the State They drew no interest, and had
the Courts OF Appeal decided at future
time, that the State was responsible for
them, the people woull have only had TO pay
what the Ring make them pay now-dollar
for dollar. The bonds OF the State for which
the bills were exchanged were not worth par
in the market, but they must he paid one
day at their face. Anotherpoint is, that the
evidence in case argued before Judge Car
penter, in connection with the new bills OF
the Bank OF the State, proved that the old
bills were used for carrying Oh the 'war OF
rebellion" In fulling these old bills,
therefore. the Ring riolate3 tie provisions
of the State and Fele,u! constitutions, for
bidding expressly the payment Of any debt
contracted in aid Of The rebellion.
Why, then, were these old bills SO hastily
funded? They were funded because the
Ring Aad Jought up the greater i1tt'f Of
them at ten cents on tie .lollar, and the
funding bill gave these robbers the equiva-
lent Of eighty cents cash, in currency, Jo''
ereryten cents they had i2aid ont. This is
the whole secret Of the funding bill swinIie

Ccrtninly!

The Ring argue that if their endorsement
Of the four million bonds Of the Blue Ridge
Railroad constitutes debt, then "the State
sis also debtor for nearly five millions OF
railroad bonds endorsed prior to recon-
:sstruction.' Be it so. On July l, 1865,
COrrs message, page A. the contingent liza
biHties OF the State, from endorsements OF
railroaa bonds, were 81, OGO, ,7s3, On No
vembcr l, 1859, the contingent liabilities,
under this head, were $500, 6S3 Clan in-
crease OF 81, 10000 II this view OF the
case helps the Ring they may make much
of it and welcome.

TIE arithmetic man, who did up the
''lacts and figures" for the campaign a'!-

strate that, the State taxation being $751;
900 in 1859 and Sl,500,00U in lSGs,
the taxes in 1868 were less than the
taxes in 1859. This is the way it was
fixed: First, deduct from the taxation
of 1868 half million OF dollars for interest
on the State debt Second, cut OF 1851, 900
as he equivalent of premium OF twenty
per cent. on gold. This makes the net taxa
tion for 1865 only s743,OOO. But the ari1h-
netic man forgets to deduct from the taxa
