Which Is the Most Useful Citizen

A reader of the Standard would naturally infer
that Mr.. Psbury, editor of that paper, is an enor
nous taxpayer, and that the burdens Of the city
of Augusta fell largely on his shoulders. The
readers of the Standard would equally infer that
Mr.. Blaine was among those who do little towards
sustaining municipal burdens
With this idea in our mind, we CHANGED within
day or two 10 spend a few minutes in the office
of the City Treasurer, and in running over the
years that Mr.. Psbu,y has been citizen Of Au-
gusta, since the autumn of 1866 We find that the
total amount of taxes paid by him Is S697 799.
During the same years, Mr. Blaine has paid S.
S67.l0. During his entire residence in the CITY,
Pllsbuly has contributed $751; to the support of
our schools. During the very same years Mr..
Blaine has contributed 81, ,lOS.39. In other words,
towards the general taxes of the city, and also to-
wards the support of our schools, Mr.. Blaine con-
tributes about Thirteen dollars, where Pillsbury
contributes ninety four cents. And, strange as it
may appear to the Standard, there are some, even
among the democrats of Augusta, who consider
Mr. Blaine on the whole as valuable citizen as

The Board Of Aldermen held session yesterday
to correct and complete the voting lists. They
will hold another session this forenoon, and two
more tomorrow. The Board has very properly
adopted the rule of requiring those applicants for
the privilege Of voting who are strangers, to be
under oath, when making their statements Some
of the pure minded democracy object to such
rule, bat we understand it is to be rgidly adhered
to by the Board, without reference to politics or
party. Mr.. Small, the accomplished scnographer,
has been engaged TO report verbatim, such testi-
mony as is given under oath, that any man who
commits the crime Of perjury for the sake OF vot-
ing, may be brought to speedy conviction, and
punishment in the State Prison, provided by
law. 1t is the determination of the Boaid to keep
the lists undcfled with fraudulent voters, far
is possible.

= Clerical Fraud.

The "Rcyerend' \. W. Randall who has been
arrested in Clinton, in this county, for uttering
counterfeit money, is, we understand, very wick
ed minister. lie went TO Clinton in 1867 repre-
sentng himself as Methodist minister; but he
bore very bad character, and was notiecognized
by that denomination. He preached sometimes
in school houses, as he had opportunity, as the
people permitted. lie had quite pleasing ad-
dress, and his MANNERS were calculated TO impress
stranger very favorably. Along with his preach
ing, as diversion, he opened shop where he
sold cider and it is limited that something strong
er than sweet cider drawn from behind his
counter, and supped by congenial spirits. In 1869,
the democrats of the town put Randall upon the
school committee; but the people and the teachers
in the town schools were justly indignant and Ie-
fused to recognize him as such an officer He was
caught in a good many mean acts such petty
thieying, stealing, etc. Then he stiaycd off TO
other places, but like bad penny, always return
ed to Clinton. He tried TO get q commission as
trial Justice, but failed. His latest attempt was
made few months since, sending his name in to
the Governor and Council, as n Wesley Randall.
After the commission was made out, it becom-
ing known that this was the same Randall that had
pteh ethieu such posltlon several tlmes previous
lv, the commission was Withdrawn. Last summer
he went TO Winslow and one or two adjoining
towns, preaching, and representing himself to be
rec Baptist minister. 1t seems that his license
papers forged. He is a most dishonest fellow
every way, and his last game, and the one for
which he was apprehended, wa. passing one dollar
bills changed TO five dollar bills the work being
very hunginglv done. Some of these hills he
passed at Watcrvillc.

tary of war. The autocratic nature, unre-
Ienting prejudices, aud often cTuel persecu-
ton of the secretary could be appeased
alone by his dismissal from the service. He
was, therefore, made the victim of court
martial, believed to have been organized for
his conviction, upon charges of official
corruption and excuses OF power.
The testimony against him was in
all respects slight, fiimsy and without legal
suficiency. he was acquitted OF every
charge of personal and official corruption,
but he was found guilty of certain technical
violations of authority and dismissed the
service. The secretary repeatedly admitted
after he had attained the qualification of
his personal spleen in the dismissal
of the surgeon-general, that he
had been too hard upon him, and that he
ought to be relieved OF the odium of his con-
viction. DIR. Hammond has since won very
great distinction IN his profession, both as a
practitioner and writer, and in the special
treatment OF diseases of the mind and ner-
vous system he stands in the front
rank of his profession throughout
the world. He most naturally
and rightfully desires to vIndicate his fame
and profession against the reproach of an
unjust conviction. He asks no restoration
of Office or title, no back-pay in any way
whatever, no personal advantage OF any
kind, save only an opportunity, before an
impartial and competent court, for re-trial
of the charges against him, so that the truth
may be vindicated and justice done without
the perversion that so often results from the
influence of angry passion and bitter per-
sonal prejudice. The Sentinel learns from
the press that it is the purpose of Hammond
in the early future to ask fol
such a re-trisl. A great country
has nothing to gain by persistence in
wrong toward one of its citizens. The doc
tors prayer is certainly honorable to him
and can not be hurtful to the government
Under proper safeguards, it should bt
granted.

A FALSE ALARM.

THE EXPERIENCES OF A COUNTRY GENTLE
NAN WITH FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH AT
CINCINNATI.
The Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday gets
off the following good one:. Visitors from
the country should be a little careful how
they post letters in fire boxes. Henry Clark
came to town few days ago from Brown
county, and spent last Sunday IN the vicin-
ity of South Camp Washington. He wanted
to post letter, and not being very well up
in city ways, took fire alarm box No. 2SS
for a letter box. AS he approached
il, ne could read the words "key
to be found at the saloon" He applied
to the saIoon-keeper, who produced the key
in great haste, supposing there was a fire.
Returning to the box the Brown county
man opened it and saw within what was ap-
parently an inner door with handle to 1t,
and the words "pull down the hook and
then let CO." Thinking his letter would
not be safe unless he deposited it in the in
nermost place, he pulled down the hook and
then let go. Presently there was commo-
ton and while Mr.. Clark was studying out
some better way of getting into the interior,
place in search of the fire. The cause of the
alarm was traced to the unfortunate man
from Brown county, and he was arrested
for turning in a false alarm. The next day
he was arraigned in the Police Court, fined
one dollar and costs and went away sadder
aud wiser man.

portioned people, of dark brown color.
They are Buddhists in religion, and, al
though a very old nation, are not more than
half civilized. They neither excel in agri-
culture nor manufactures, and have no mil
itsry class, depending upon temporary lev
les in time of war. It Is not easy to under
stand why Great Britain, with such a vast
territory and so many. millions OF peo-
pie under control in Asia, should
desire to pursue any further conquest,
but the frontiers of a civilized country
bordering upon barbarous regions. are al
ways an area of aggression, and it would
seem.as if Russia and England were both
driven forward in the east by some mysteri-
Gus force like our manifest destiny. China
is really the only great prize remaining In
Asia, and the subjugstion of Birmah would
put Great Britain within easy striking
distance of the most numerous, industrious
and cowardly people on the globe. The con-
quest of China would De triumph even
grander than the subiugation of India, and
would put half the population Of the
earth under the dominion of the English
race. OF course such forecssting of events
is matter of mere lido fancy; but, whether
the meteor flag England pushes on east
ward or rests for the present on the confines
of Bengal, the ultimate course of empire il
the old world seems plain enough.
