Why the New York Frauds are Owen
PORTLAND.


Upon
TAMMANY AT OUR OWN DOOR.
The Democrats leproach us with. unfalrhess
in dwelling too constantly on the misthanase
msnt of the finances of single Democratic
city. "What matters it to the people OF
Maine" they say, "that these New York
Democrats are conspicuously dishonest? New
York is not Maine, neither is it the United
States"
1t matters much every way. In 1868 Tam
many Hall, with Hoffman, Tweed, and Mayor
Hail at its head as they now are. dictated bot
p Atorm aud candidates in the National Dem
ocratic Convention. Since then it has form
e an al lance with the Erie railroad and the

nent laboring men," Tweed, Connolly anC
Rall, to help their brother "laboring man ,
Mr.. Kimball, become Governor.
The object of these tremendous efforts by
Tammany is to control the Presidential cleo
ton next year. 1t is designed to make Gov
Hoffman, a tool of Mr.. Tw eds, President 0
the United States. II is felt that Tamman,
can easily control the Democratic Convention
and it is hoped that the immense treasure,
accumulated by these thieves will avail t.
buy the people.
All! what revelry there would be whel
these hearty Old sachems once got their hand
into the treasury of the United States! aHay
ing doubled the debt of New York in tw,
years aud half. stealing much more thar
halt the money for their own use, how speedi
ly might we expect them to stop the reduc

forting monthly statements of the condition
of the national finances! 1t would be field
foi thleving such as the world never before
saw. The thieves would be more expert ant
industrious than any this century has before
produced.
Is it any wonder that we speak frequent,
of the New York frauds 1t is Tammapy tina

Tho Argus VS. The Argus.

We publish the reply OF the argus to the
oroundless charges heretofore published in
that Sheet 1t shows that the argus when
REQUIRED to be truthful and fair is quite def
ferent from the Argus of every day:
The Collector OF our port, feeling aggrieyed
at articles in the Argus, rejecting as he
thought upon his personal integrity and the
proper administration of his office, requested
an opportunity 10 lay some facts before us in
regarl to which he believed we had beeu mis-.
informed, and such proved to be the fact. We
readily acceded to his request, for it has been
lartherest from our intention to do him any
Injustice. In fact we have not intended to
call in question his honesty OF the proper adj
minlstration of his Office under the law, our
war being directed against the system and
policy which the powers that we have estao-
| lished and continued in force.
Suffice it TO say then, that Collector Wash
burn perfectly satisfied us that we have larg-
| ly overstated his receipts from office-that IN
no year have those receipts reached one-hali
Of the larghest sum named by us( 92o,oO0), ana
| that the average annual receipts nave oeen
less than one.third of that amount.
We NAV further say that the duties of dis
| bursIng agent for the public buildings in this
city he is ''required" to perform by law pas
sed in 1858, for which service he receives not
| exceeding one-fOurth OF one per cent; the
| amount received in suLh cases before the pas
sage OF the law having been usually one per
| cent and sometimes more. As discussing
| agent he is merely ministerial officer, pay
ing out money only upon certificates of 9TH
| ct officers, and is in no way responsible for
fhe amount of the expenditures, aud has no
control over them.
The facts communicated to us by the Col.
lector have also modified our opinion much
in regard to the amount of force required at
this port. The largely increased number Of
entries of merchandise required since the alb
rogation of the reciprocity treaty and the
transit of imported goods in bond by halfway
under the sealing system, make necessary a
larger force than would otherwise be required
by the business OF the port We are inform
| ed by him that within ten years, in Goose
quence of these changes and the general in
crease of customs business, the number of en-
tries has been increased seven fold, and from
this fact and others given us, we are satisfied
that the representations made by the Collec
tor are correct He desired US to make the
fullest examination of all the books and re
| cords and expressed the wish that any gentle
man who desired would come into his Office
and examine them, including all the vouchers
for materials for the public buildings, pay
rolls for labor, and all other disbursement:
made by him.
n conclusion, our own examination, no
} less than the frankness of Mr.. Washburn il
reference to his affairs, fully satisfies us tba
any implication either on his personal or hi
official integrity would be unmerited an
| wrong

ex Rebels become more reconciled to the gov
eminent and accept the situation with more
sincerity, the necessity of educating the blacks
will be gladly recognized?
Mss A.-On the contrary the situation
grows hourly worse The chivalry are exas
perated because the new free States cOnsiitu-
ton compels them to support a com mou-scho0l
system. Accordingly they hate the Northeln
teachers whom they are obliged to pay, with
intense bitterness. Unhappily they feel now
as if all external pressure were being gradually
removed, and as if they would soou be their
owu m asters again. In proportion as this feel
ing of independence gathers strength their in
sultng and abusive attitude toward the North
ern school-teachers is confirmed. Aud when
they have once felt sure that their proceedings
cannot be interrupted by the general govern
ment, we Yankee girls shall speedily find Vir-
gnia neither pleasant nor safe.

grave discourse between the plucky school
mistress and Tom Tom.

class embracing hundreds of the daughters o
our Maine citizens. Nor is her case the strang
est that can be found. Her school is within
