Deering.

10 the Editor of the Press:
In reading the report of the town meeting in
Deering, published in Tuesdays issue, one
might infer that political battle was fought by
the Democrats and Republicans, and that the
Democrats came off victorious. Now the truth
is, the municipal officers were all nominated at
citizens caucus and at the election no one
thought of asking whether the candidates were
Democrats or Republicans, for the question of
partizan politics has never been raised. At the
spring election in the town of Deering it was
stated that no member of the School Commit
his term of office as School Committee A mo-
ton was made to that effect but was square and
decidedly voted down; the citizens claiming
that skilled and experienced teachers are the
persons best qualified to discharge the duties of
School Committee. For the accuracy of my
statement in regard to the vote, 1 refer to the
town record of Mondays doings. DEERING.

edge that the Treasury had encroached upwards of

completed and trains running as far as Saw

travel, which continues to increase in the same
proportion as railroad facilities are extended.
Mr.. James T. Furber, the new and energetic
Superintendent of the Boston and Maine Rail-

Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad, SO that
through tickets can be had at New York and
Philadelphia at reduced rates, and tourists can
travel via Lake Winnipisseogee and return via

Capt Jack Does Not Keep His
Word.

NEW YORK, March ia despatch from the
headquarters of the peace commission, at
Fairchild's ranch, dated yesterday, says that
the wagons went to klamath Lake, Monday,
but returned after waiting all day, none of the
Modocs having come near them, as agreed up
on. A cavalry accommodating party will be sent
to inspect the lava beds, as it is rumored that
the Indians have shifted their camp. 1t is
thought that the Indians have been made sus-
picious by white men in the neighborhood, who
do not want peace, and it is said that one man
told some of them that he had warrants to hang
nine of them as soon as they come out of their
camp.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.-A courier who
arrived from Yreka to- night says that on Mon
day, Steele went to Point of Rocks, klamath
Lake, to bring Capt. Jack and party to head
quarters. He waited there four hours, but saw
no Indians and returned. Applegate has re-
signed from the peace commission and gone
away Disguised. 1t is thought that Capt. jack
has man@uvered to get into the country east of
the seat of war, where for hundreds of miles no
savage could follow, and if he escapes to the
