GEN. ANDERSON is the same man Repub-
licans fought so bitterly during the war, the
man who was leader of those that threw all
the distractions in their power in the way of
the prosecution of the war and the restora-
tion OF the Union. In that regard he has
not changed one whit. No longer ago than
1875 in The Democratic state convention at
Augusta, he boasted that he was a Bourbon,
one who had learned nothing and forgotten
nothing, and proclaimed bis pride in the fact.
The only change he has undergone is in the
only respectable article of his creed, his views
on the currency. Daring the war he was de-
nouncing the greenbacks as rag-money. In
1875 the convention which he assured he had
not changed, adopted platform calling for
stable currency, coin or the equivalent of
coin, and demanded the resumption of specie
payments and no steps backward. How does
Gen. Anderson reconcile that doctrine with
his position on the currency question today?
The Portland daily press., 1878-09-05

deepest interest in sound currency, and
'oho suffers most By mischieuous legislation in
money matters, is the man pho earns his dai-
ty bread By his daily toll. a deprecated cur.

"a return to specie payments at the earli-

THE regard in which Gen. Anderson's war
record is held in other States than Maine,
and the apprehension with which patriotic
men elsewhere regard the possibility of his
election, finds voice in the following para
graph from the Boston Journal:
If Mr.. Anderson, Democratic candidate for
Congress in the first Maine district, with his
record OF disloyalty, came up to Congress from
the South, he would have the excuse that he
"went with his state" But now should he 90
to Congress from New England, Mr.. Ander-
son could say II was against my state and my
people in the late war. did my utmost to
bring defeat and confusion to the Union cause,
but now, after fifteen years, without change on
my part, my fellow citizens recognize 1 was
right by sending me to represent them" Ali
know that Mr. Anderson, by his hostility to
the Union cause and his bold denunciation and
open threats did hundred-fold more to aid
Mr.. Jefferson Davis than II he had openly
joined Davis standard aud fought in bis arm
les. Such men 10 the North are responsible
for the last and costliest year Of the war. Had
Mr.. Anderson emulated the examples of Dem
ocrats like Jameson, Berry and Shepley, and
Joined the Union army; had there been no An-
dersons and Emefys in Maine aud other states,
the rebellion would have been crushed in two
years.

PUBLIC DUTY UNDER THE SCHOOL
LAW.

In one Of the country districts of
this county special school tax has
been levied by "a vote Of the district.
The district being in debt and desiring
to clear it up and have a three months
school this summer, and appreAending
that the regular annual tax would be
insufficient for this purpose, some Of
the heads Of families wisely concluded
to Try "a special tax. There seemed to
be difference Of opinion among the
tax payers Of the district about the
justice and propriety Of levying a special
tax. The objections came mostly from
those who have no children TO send to
school. Hence We conclude the obiec-
ton was Of general character and on
the erroneous principle that it is un-
Just to tax 4 in order 70 educate B's
children. That we may have a com
plete understanding Of the basis Of a
special tax according to the law Of the
Territory, let Us refer to the new
school law. Under the head Of ''spec-
ial taxes (Section 81, it provides for
one special tax per annum not to eX-
coed ten mills on the dollar: 70 be
levied by vote of the district and to
be collected the same as other taxes by
the County Treasurer. The tax Is
levied BY majority vote. Section 30
of the law provides the qualifications
of voters as follows:
Every inhabitant male or female, over the
sage Of twenty one years who shall have re-
sided in the school district three month, i'm
mediately preceding any district meeting,
land who shall have paid or Doe liable % pay
"any tax, except poll or road tax in said dis
"trict. shall be a legal voter al any school
"mecting. and no other person shall be al
"lOwedsto vote"
The law further provides that if a
voter is challenged, he shall swear
among other things that be is "a taxa
bic resident of the school district, ex-
elusive of road or poll tax

tions OF the school law, are based upon

also distrust those persons who cry
out against it as the ''grasping mo-
nopoly" without proper knowledge
of the subject. 1t is true that the Q.
