The leading article in the Oyord R'g-
j>ter of last week. has the ABOVE heading
over the signature b. and using the
language of one of the committee, It's
fraternity cannot be misunderstood. The
article is not conceived in the usual dix
nifty and tone of its author. bat evidently
under the excitement OF town meeting
disappointment. 1t contains a direct
charge that ex.municipal officers and
Others have attempted to stille investiga-
ton, which We think entirely'unIounded.
When the charges OF maiieasaucc in
Office were first made, the officials im-
plicated promptly called tor IN investiga-
tion, and q Committee OF leading men of
both parties was raised TO investigate
Two reports have been made The Com.
mittee gave considerable attention and
labor 60 the work, and examined notes
and records and arrived ut results rs best
they could-but being unacquainted with
the affairs OF The town. and having large
transactions. involving huudreds of
thousands of dollars to investigate, they
labored at a disadvantage and arrived at
certain results. Mr.. :. L. Maxim, the
town officer during the last years OF the
war. and against whom the envenomed
spleen OF apprehension has been poured
out for his manlineSs in those times when
political rancor tagged -, desired the
Committee to examine the records OF the
SeleCtmen and Treasurer, and see ii the
receipts could not lie accounted Tor. The
Committee though, it unnecessary 10 do

aucy would 5e found-so, a. the Report
was about being closed mp by the Com-
miJtee and given 10 the printer. Mr..
Maxim Is compelled 10 work night and

they were expended Being familiar
with the transactions hc was bcttSr able

est, personally. TO compare Mr. MaVim's
figures with the Selectmeu'> records and
the Treasurer's books, and found them

press our iudgmen; that there is moye
reliance TO be placed upon The records
and explanations OF these transactions,

More investigation Demanded.


1t is pretty well understood in this
town, that III the March meeting three
years ago \ committee ot five was chosen
TO investigate the iinances OF the town.
The Committee chose Alvah Black and
Sidney Perham sub, committee 10 make
the investigation. They had tho matter
under investigation for ono year aud
made = report. That report was then
re committed to the same committee for
further investigation. The committee
have had the subject under investigation
for two years more. At the present
March meeting they made further re-
port, which has been printed and circu-
lated through the town. BY their "totals"
of receipts and eXpenditurcs--c0vering
aspace OF about eleven years-they show
that the receipts exceed the expenditures
by 81 ,94265 In their printed report
they say that 'strict accuracy cannot be
claimed for all the conclusions arrived at
in the report" After three years labor
they came TO this conclusion-"we have
only ascertained rs well as we have been
able TO do, the existence Of deficiency
and its amount--we have not had time to
do more, and We would now suggest
whether justice to the several municipal
officers, who have had part in the trans
actions investigated does not require q
further investigation, TO ascertain. if
possible, what has become OF the missing
money"
That is in 2 very good spirit-iustice to
the several municipal officers think,
does require further investigation. and
if that large amount OF money has been
stolen, justice 10 the tax payers would
seem to require further investigation
also.
Why was there not further investiga-
ton? Let us see When the report
came up for action at the present March
meeting-after the matter was explained
by Mr. Black, and he had expressed
publicly decided wish not TO have any
thing more to do with this investigation,
and Mr.. Kimball. who has been acting in
Mr. Perham's place the past winter, had
utterly refused 10 have anything more to
do with it--and Mr. Perham, who was
not present, us all know. does not have
the time to attend to fit was thought
best by some 10 refer the matter to new
committee. A motion was made accord,
ingly to reler the matter TO VIM. A.

A correspondent from Hamlin'S
= Grant, writes that they had an election
there on Monday, but the result was not
declared, as the democratic presiding
officer took the ballot-boX under his arm.
and said he would wait till sunset
when he retired to count the votes at his
leisure. He was threatened with pros
ecution for receiving illegal votes, and
that's what's The matter. Probably there
will be another meeting after Court ad.

The Editor of the Or'6rd Democrat
ia his remarks at town meeting said that
the attempt to Investigate the finances Of
the town was am attack upon the republi-
can party. Do a majority of Paris re-
pUbhcaBs agree with him in this Senti
meat p CJfor,i Register.
We said no such thing What we kd
say was, that as q member oil the same
party rs the gentleman who had been
charged with misconduct in~.he town
funds, we were DESTROYS OF a tuH iHres'j-
gaii9a Of the matter, and that We had ex.
amined the figures OF the Investigating

statement. aul found the latter to cores

that tue whole thing was started for POI
