We have received 4 pleasant letter from
Judge Flanders, of Monroe, who IS visiting
his native town in New Hampshire. He
finds Il great difference in the methods OF
travelling since the days Of his emigration,
and says
In my younger days l left this place on foot for
down East After six days Of hard foot work,
L arrived upon the Kennebec River. This was
from Boston to Lowell, | think the only one in
New England: The day left your vcinity,iI took
breakfast with my family and slept here the same
night. about forty miles norherly of the capitol of
the Granite State. What change in forty years!
The State Election comes off here in few weeks
doing good strong work. Some few Republ can
papers cannot swallow the dishonesty and fraud of
their party, and do not hesitate to expose their
own party leaders. If the Rev EX-Know Nothing
Pike is elected Governor by the people Of the State
shall be disappointed.

MUNICIPAL AID TO FACTORIES,

The questions propounded to the Supreme
Court Of the State by the House of Represen-
tatives relative to the legality of aid voted
to manufactures by cities and towns, have Just
been answered by the Court. 1t decides that
municipalities cannot in accordance with the
provisions Of the constitution, grant such aid
The text Of the decisions has not, at this
writing, been made public but it is under
stood that the court holds that there is no
warrant for the majority Of the citizens of a
town, or Of two-thirds Of them, voting to
take the property of the minority to build up
private enterprises. It might result in tax
ing the property of citizens to aid in estab-
fishing ruinous competition to their own bust
ness The municipalities Of the State can
raise money only for purposes of a public ma
ture. Among these, the building and main
tanning OF highways take q prominent place.
Railroads arc held to be improved highways,
and in their nature and operation 50 highly
beneficial to the public az to make an excep-
ton to the general rule that towns cannot
vote money to private corporations.
The operation of this decision will bear
hard upon towns and cities that have voted
such aid and assessed taxes to pay it. The
city OF Augusta made gift of $3.50, 900 to
the Spragues, in aid Of their manufacturing
projects, and issued bonds on which neither
the interest or municipal can be realized, un-
der this decision. Judge Cutting, however,
declines to say that past aid, authorized by
the legislature, is unconstitutional, or to pass
upon the questions until Il case is brought in
the usual form. Judges Dckerson and Tap
ley hold that public and private uses can be
so joined as TO make such aid legal. The
Chief Justice with Associates Walton and
Danforth, condemn the whole principle.
