AUGUSTA, Jan. 4th, 1874.
To the Editor Of the Press
The Legislature is now well into the third
week of its session, An unusually la rye num-
bers of petitions and orders have been in
troduced and referred to the appropriate COM
inittees. As yet however, few bills have been
reported back. From some cause, the commit
tees are moving very slowly, and if they do not
improve their speed, it will be impossible to OBJ
tain an adjournment as early as February 25th,
if the business already before it is we'll done.
The indications are that more public and less
private legislation will be ACCOMPLISHED this
winter than last.
The Financial Committee are still deem in
their examination of the accounts of the late
Treasurer. As might be expected, the books and
accounts are found correct and the committee
compliment Mr.. Caldwell for the faithful and
efficient mannsr in which he has filled his re-
sponsible position. The committee however. while
the system in its general features nsed in this
department, have discovered one defect in it
that has evidently escaped the eyes of previous
committees. 1t is this: The Treasurer is bv
law required to publish annually, report
of the business of his department In this re-
port, the total alone of all the money received
from the several towns in the State, is publish
ed. For instance, the total receipts for the
year from towns for taxes paid to the State
may be 100000. Now the committee wish tn
see how that total is made and they examine
the cash book for the details. Thew find that
Portland for instance paid $50, 900, Bangor
$4,000, and so on; but there is no possible
manner in which they can decide whether
Portland may not have paid $4,000, and the
Treasurer have pocketed the $4,000, unless
they write to the City Treasurer and ascertain.
The City Treasurer of course has in his pos
session the State Treasurer's receipt for the
$35,OOO. This process of inquiring would in
volye the necessity of corresponding with every
town in the State, involving a vast deal of
time and labor. 1t was by means of this loose
system that Peck was enabled to use the States
money for his private purpose. 1t is true, af-
ter few years, discovery would ensue, because
the diminished resources of the State would

A WRECK RECoRD.-In order that the record

IMPORTANT LUMBER DECIsION.-By decision
1871 of the Treasury Department, dated No
vember 10Th, 1872, it was decided that lumber
subject to duty at one dollar per thousand feet
board measure, less than one inch thick should
be considered as one inch thick for the purpose
of assessing duty. By decision of the depart
ment dated January, 21st, 1874, this decision of
November 10Th. 1872, is reversed, and the duty
on lumber will be assessed by the standard of
board measure, or inch thickness, and the duti-
able quantity will be increased, or reduced, in
proportion as the lumber varies from that
thickness

lead to inquiry and investigation as in Peck's
case. The Committee wisely think that the
credit given to towns, should be published an
nually in detail. To this end, one member of
the committee, Mr.. Reed of Bath, introduced
an order in the House this morning, requiring
the State Treasurer hereafter to publish in his
report the detailed credits of the towns and
cities. In doing this, they desire it to be dis
tlnctly understood that not the slightest reflec-
ton is cast upon, either the retiring Treasurer
or the incoming One both of whom are gentle

Guilty of desDatching business. Thus far, ex-
cept in matters of little Importance, there has
been no discussion. The bills are but just be-
ginning to flow back from the Committees.
The busiest man in the House is Mr. j. B.
Walker, the efficient and popular Messenger,
who was the only officer of that branch that
received the high compliment of unanimous
election without regard to party. Although
the nominee of the Republicans, the Demo-
Gratis placed his name upon their ticket for
Messenger. He is always at his post always
busy and the comfort of the members to say
nothing of the business of the House, is greatly
enhanced by his faithfulness aud efficiency.

The RAILROAD BRIDaE.-Work on the
temporary railroad bridge at Saco is progress
ing rapidly. The pile driving in four or five
spans is nearly completed, and the heavy frame
on which will rest the stringers has already
commenced to rise on the piles. A large force
of workmen are employed iu all departments of
the work.
The bridge will be truss bridge of Whipple
and Pratt pattern, with two spans of 100 feet
each, and three 1872 feet each. 1t will be, in
every way, like the the draw bridge across the
Kennebec river at Augusta, on the Maine Central
Railroad, and like the one at Waterville, on
the same road, in process of construction. 1t is
to cost $4,000, and will be completed by
March 10th. The temporary bridge will be
finished in a few days. This bridge will re-
quire 100000 feet of dimension lumber and
240 piles.

The ENTERPRISE AND BOxER.-An article
by Capt. George Henry Preble, o. S. N, ap-
pears in the last number of the Historical and
Genealogical Register, and gives the following
account of the business which brought the
Boxer to the coast of Maine sixty years ago:
MIR. Charles Tappan, the venerable surviving
brother of Arthur and Lewis Tappan, was a
Boston merchant at the outbreak of the war of
1872. Such was then the condition Of our
manufactures that, to use Mr.. Tappan's own
words, our soldiers "were clad in British cloths
and slept under British blankets" "It was un-
derstOOd that no captures would be made of
British goods owned by citizens of the United
States, and many American merchants inn
ported, via Halifax and ST. John, N. B., their
usual stock of goods" In 1918, Mr. Tappan
made venture of this kind in a brig flying
Swedish colors, which left st John in Septem-
her for Bath, where the goods were to be enter.
ed and duty regularly paid on them. As Amer
lean privateers were the only enemies to be
dreaded, Mr.. Tappau and his associates engag-
ed II. B. M. Brig Boxer, to convoy the Mar
garetta, AID in return for this servi &c Capt.
Blyth received bill of exchange Oh London
for G100. When near the mouth of the Ken
nebec, the Boxer, as had been ageeed upon, to
avert suspicion, fired two or three guns as if in
pursuit of its charge. Unluckily the sound
reached the ears of Lieut.. Barrows, command
ing the U. S. Brig Enterprise, which the day
before had left Portland for a cruise eastward,
and coming up with the Boxer on the 9Th was
