EDITOR SrATEsMAN:-Ip promised to follow
a communication on the subject indicated in
/ the captim with some facts and figures.
When changes are suggested in a law pro-
| viding for the expenditure of money, We
may naturally conclude that the people de-
sire to know whether there will be any In
crease OF pay, or greater tax upon the
! public purse, IN order to maintain that pro-
posed change. This is proper inquiry. In
answer thereto. propose q few of the many
thoughts | have on that question. The
present law provides for salary of $500
per annum, out of the territorial treasury.
and to be paid by the counties OF his dis
trict $50 90 per annum for 1000 inhabitants
or less, and $25 90 for every additional 1909
over rhe first, and SIS 90 for every divorce
case not defended
In the first judicial district there are five
counties. Surprising these to be equal in
every respect, $500 is paid ont of the terri
torial treasury for the benefit of each.
l will now select single county for an
example, and being most familiar with
Walla Wala, l will make my calculation
from that
We have In the county 62l5 inhabitants
Now, at the rate of $50 90 for the first
Thousand, and S25 90 for every additional
thousand, you discover that Sl75 90 per
aunum is paid by this county to the prose
cuting attorney, and under a possible con-
struction Of the law 5000 We have also on
an average OF 10 divorce cases not defended,
and there seems to be no probability of a
decrease. From this source then this coun-
ty pays the prosecuting attorney s225. By
adding these several amounts together we
will see at once how the matter stands; thus: y:
From Territory. $500
From County I75
From Divorces. Observation-Disclosures. 22J
1oIai --.--------,Stoo
For this sum there will he no trouble to
find county attorney. The writer well
recollects while he was prosecuting attorney
of the entire district the amount he realized
out of salary of $1,000 per annum, and no
fees was less than the sum above named.
Let us look at the subject from another
angle The grand jury is composed of six
teen members. Their compensation is So 90
per day. They occupy in territorial busi-
ness from five to seven days. Where bust
ness Is properly prepared for them as it may
and can be under the proposed change, two
days Will be amply sufficient for all terri
torial business, thus saving IS you discover
to the county III one session the sum of
Sl92 90, and each year just double that sum-
Some other illustrations might be offered,
but these are sufficient as my purpose is only
suggestive. One other query may arise, and
that is this: Can the legislature make pro-
visions for the election of county attorneys:
This among other powers is delegated to the
Legislature under the general powers granted
to that body by the organic act in the sixth
section thereof and no prohibition anywhere
appears in that document
have said now all that think sufficient.
to bring this subject before the people
have not done so, rejecting against any
officer, nor for the purpose of aiding others,
but solely as believe for the benefit of the
several counties and for the convenience
and good OF all. N T. CAToy.

A Republican State Convention
WILL BE HELD IN
NOROMBEGA HALL, BANGOR,
Thursday, June 20, 1879, at 4 o'cpk A. NJ.

NOROMBEGA HALL, BANGOR,
Thursday, June 26, 1879, at Il o'cpk A. M.
for the purpose of nominating candidte for Gov
ernor, and for transacting whatever business may
properly come before it.
The basis of representation will be one delegate
for each city, town and plantation, and an addition
al delegate for every seventyve votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor in 1876. A
majority fraction will be entitled to delegate.
The State Committee will be in session the evening
preceding and at o'clock the morning of the Con-
vention, to receive the credentials of delegates.
In selecting the Delegates the Republicans are
urged assemble in full numbers and to invoke the
aid and cooperation of all voters who are willing to
unite with them to the following ends;
1. To maintain the power and prestige of the
Union against all attempts to subvert oppose its
Just authority and to insist that the Government of
the United States shall be controlled by loyal
2. To discountenance and reprobate the treason
able and revolutionary course of the Democrats in
Congress, who threaten to cripple and destroy the
functions of the Government if constitutionaly pre-
vented from enacting their partisan measures into
law.
8. To uphold the right of the United States to
enforce its own laws wherever they are to operate
and to frown down and put down the dangerous
heresy of the States Right secessionists who have
already plunged the country into one bloody war
and who are attempting to control the Govern
ment of the Union with the same measures that
preceded the rebellion of 1861.
A. To insist upon free elections-not only free
from National military inference, which no one de-
sires but also free from the interference and vio
lence of socaled State militia and the assassins who
with deadly weapons have seized the polls in many
of the Southern States, driving innocent and de-
fenceless voters from the ballot-box and making a
has been made distinct political issue by every
Democrat in the Senate and House voting against a
measure designed to prevent and suppress it,
5. To uphold the financial credit of the Govern
ment and to assure to the people of all sections
sound currency, equivalent to coin at all times and
in all places and redeemable in coin. And to this
end to oppose all distractng, repudiating aud mis-
chievous efforts against the peace, welfare and in
dustrial prosperity of the People.
6. In these aims and purposes all citizens of
Maine are invited to unite that the hands of the
President and of the Republican minority in both
branches of Congress may be strengthened in their
efforts to uphold the honor of the Government and
the just authority of National Law.
By order of the Republican State Committee.
