The Tariff Question.

Senator Sherman intends to press his
tariff bill in the Senate, and he hopes to
pass it during the week. One of the ar
guments urged in favor of its immediate
consideration is the anxiety of the public
to learn what the Senate will do in regard
to the tea and coffee bill now before it.
The action of the Senate on the bill before
it will be regarded here as Indicating all
the tariff reform that can be got.this ses-
sion. While the action of the WAYS and
Means committee and the House will be
interesting, yet is not of great Importance,
for the Senate is master of the position.

The subject of the management OF the
Bangor city treasury has recently been
warmly discussed in that city, both in
public meetings and in the press. Some
structures by DR.. Jordan, in the Demo
cratic caucus, having been telegraphed
with variations to the Boston papers, the
Wing thought the credit of the city and
the reputation of the treasurer demanded
that it should assail both the Doctor and
the gentleman who fills the position OF
local editor on the Commercial with the
charge of being 'slandermongers. In his
rejoinder, the former, while disclaimng
that he imputes dishonesty to the Collec-
tor, gives several instances of most ex-
traordinary management on the part of
that official. We give couple of them:
Mr.. silas D. Jones keeps large clothing
house on Kepduskeag Bridge. He paid his tax
for sewerage, amounting to sixty dollars and
took receipt. Several n onths thereafter lie
was called upon for another payment. Not
knowing where to find his receipt, he requested
Mr.. Paine to turn to his books, and satisfy him
self. This request was declined on the ground
sum was on the books or not. On being asked
if he didn't keep a cash book, replied yes, but
couldn't tell whether this amount was there or
not.
One of our oldest and most respected citizens
showed me a memorandum OF payment of his
tax amounting to about $l75. This memoran-
DUN was made at the time of payment. The
gentleman remarked that she knew whera the
money came rom and where it went" and
when applied to for payment the second time
took it to be joke, supposing he might have
left the receipt on the collectors desk, and
that he had preserved it for him. A year or
more after, this gentemanS property was sold
at auction and bid in by the collector himself

The New Hampshire Election.

. In the following extracts from the Con-
cord People, will be found stated the I'M
doubted causes of the Democratic defeat
in that State. Two weeks before the
election, prominent Democrats in that
state told us that $50, 900 had been sent
into the state, with an assurance that it
could be made $40, 900, but that the State
must be carrjed III 0ay cost The People
says
The total vote cast is larger than was ever be-
fore cast IN the Stat, and nearly if not quite as
large rs that counted IN 1868. The vote for
Mr. Weston will reach nearly 81 900. which all
alr-mInded men will admit is a majority of the
honest vote of the State. In fact, one OF the
leading Radical polit clans Of the State declared
positively, two days previous to the election
