The Board of Apportionmcnt will meet on Tues
day next for the purpose of taking up those esti-
mates. They compelled to determine upon them
finally before twelve o'clock the night of Decem
ber 81. The large increase in the estimates of the
departments OF Public Works and Buildings is stated
at the Finance Department to be in consequence of
demand OF those bureaus for increase of the
salary accounts. The Coroners' appropriations will
be materially reduced in consequence of the law
passed by the last Legislature abolishing fees tor
those offices and substituting annual compensa-
ton for each OF S5 100.

to be expected that the Calais Times
after its valn-glorious Wanting about the
bribery cases in Washington county, would
try to invent some excuse just such as il
has done, charging County Attorney
Rounds not only with neglect Of duty,
but with absolute criminalty in thwarting
the Grand Jury in its attempts to do JUS
tice. Such a charge does not stop with
the County Attorney. but reflects discredit
on the Grand Jury. on their intelligence
and honesty. Every intelligent man ought
to know that the Grand Jury is as indie
pendent in its action, of the County Attor-
ney. as it is of the President of the United
States. His only duty is advisory, and he
can interpose no bar to the vote of the
Jury. More than one half of the Jury
were democrats, and yet it was under
stood, that from their own motion the vote
stood II to against an Indictment, and
more than that, the Jury, before its final
adjournment, passed unanimous vote OF
thanks to the Attorney for the able man.
