The Drisko.C Coffin Election Case.

To the Editor of the Press:
l notice in your issue of this morning an arti-
Gle, based on communication in the last Ma
chias Republican, which is designed to mislead
sentiment if not corrected. 1 trust you will
give me a hearing since no one can have greater
interest than myself in the question at issue.
The Republican charges all the neglect that
led to the alleged defective warrant in calling
the last September election in Machias, to me.
1t claims that the assessors failed to furnish
the list of voters to the selectmen as required
by law 1t declares that was self constituted
Chairman of the Board, that as such it was my
duty to make and furnish the list of voters to
the selectmen, and because didn't furnish the
list the selectmen failed to revise and post the
list; further as consequence the selectmen for
got to post the warrant calling the meeting in
due time!
AS to the election of assessors, knew moth
ing OF my name being used on the ticket until
after the votes were printed. l neither solicit
ed or asked for chairman's place or any place in
the Board. After being elected aud qualified
rendered some assistance in fixing the valuation
of property. My associates having had expert
ence in the business 1 relinquished all further
business in detail to them, with the understand
ing that if they performed the work they would
be entitled to the pay. The bills rendered for
service will show this beyond question.
1t has been the custom for years for the
Selectmen to call on the Assessors, receive,
revise and post the list. j. K. Ames, Esq.
who had been one of the selectmen for several
years previous to the spring of 1873, states
that it was his invariable rule to call for the
list. Mr.. w. H. Phinney, clerk of the present
board of assessors, had prepared the list in sea-
son and he had signed it, not thinking it was
the duty of the assessors to carry the list to
the selectmen, but that the latter would call
for the same. as-s4
How then could I be held responsible for
neglect to post the warrant in season? And
had the list been furnished the selectmen on
the first of August. is it to be taken for
granted that this would have prompted them to
| rghtful discharge of duty Sebtember first?
| Besides, the voting list whether prepared in
| season or out of season has no bearing in the
case. The selectmen had the list election day,
| and ased it. In this respect the proceedings
| were precisely the same at the last September
| election as they had been at all previous cleo
| tons. No voter was DISTINGUISHED for the
| want of list. Names were placed on the list
| or erased as cases were presented, so that the
case of defective warrant has no connection
| with it,
| The communication in the Republican shows
| personal bitterness, which no more than three
| persons in Machias, of any political party,
share in or approve. GEO. w. DRIsco.

Current Notes.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Machias Union
mentions as an argument in favor of the
Shore Line Railway that such lecturers as
Miss Dickinson could, were it built, get down
east. This is the strongest thing yet said
against the projected line Bangor CONNER
fnercidl.
There is serious and hard work to be done,
and the Senator or Representative who
shirks now is neither patriot nor good
politician. Shall the taxes be increased?
Shall the public debt be increased? Shall
the expenditures of the Government be cut
down? These are questions which must be
answered, and some one of them must be
answered afirmatively. Washington Repub-
licGn.
The true idea of bankrupt act is one to
afford aid to sound system. and we trust
that the judiciary committee of the senate
will in the interests of commerce frame one
that will accomplish this public duty. The
| involuntary feature should above all be pre-
served for the sake of its moral effect; for
the prosperity of the country, it cannot be
too often said, depends upon the success and
integrity of its merchants. -B0stOn Adrer-
tiser.
The Philadelphia Press is authority for the
announcement that bill is in course of prepa-
ration to aid the Texas Pacific railroad by
giving it a Government subsidy-a Sbill
which secures the Government first and last
by pledging the road, its stock and its reve-
nues, in Guiding the sale of its lands. to the
payment of the interest on the bonds that
may be Endorsed, and to the certain ultimate
redemption of the principal" Here are the
same old arguments, the same old promises
which every road to the Pacific made, and
which every road to the Pacific has broken.
With depleted Treasury. an expenditure
greater than our income, and the certainty of
increased taxation or an Increased debt, this
is amodest demand. Let us see the man in
Congress who will be bold enough to father
it. Washington Republican,.

Sat midnight of last Wednesday the gate

method of stating that the year 1873 is done
for. Very fine, but rather expensive to tele-
graph at forty cents for ten words.
The New York World is confident that the
old National bank which was abolished in
1882 because it was unconstitutional, was far
preferable to the present National banking
system. There is no accounting for opin-

The Legislature of Maine has gone earnest
ly to work, and will probably despatch the
business to come before it with its customary

York and Illinois.-Boston Globe.
