The debt statement Of February deserves
more than passing notice 1t marks the
passing point of two thousand millions and a
reduction of one-third from the highest point.
The highest recorded debt of the United
States appeared by the debt statement of
August /, 1865, s., 757, $50, 81; but this
sum was far within the fact, as there were &C
counts due and in part audited, but not liqui-
dated at that date, for between three and five
hundred millions more.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson estimated the maxi.
mum debt to have been over s., 200. 600, 600
in 1865 in speech delivered at the Worces-
ter gubernatorial convention in 1868 This
estimate was never gainsaid, but at later
date Secretary McCulloch submitted a state
ment in his last report in which he estimated
the maximum debt, after excluding every
item about which there could have been a
question, at 81, ,3SG, 2O3 in 1865. 1t is
now 81 ,995, 49, 2l reduction 81 ,OO2, 273,-
9S2. far greater change and relief has oc-
CURED in respect to the interest 1t is now
little less than $50, 600, 600, and will soon
be reduced by $40, 600, 900 by the funding of
the is and IS into per cent. bonds. Before
1881 is passed our interest charge will be
down to $40, 600, 900 per annum. In 1868
the interest paid amounted to $l43, 7Sl, 500.
Our debt is therefore reduced one-third
and the interest will soon be reduced one-half
from the highest, These financial landmarks,
so to speak, are worthy of observation.
From April l, 1865, to June 30,
1865 the expenditures of the
r.. country were S4,G9S, 3i9, 4sG
Since June 80, 1868, the ex-
penditures for other purposes
than paying debt have been
over 3,lOO, 600, 600
Total, say 81, 500. 600 600
VI which we still owe $1,000, 900, 600
Since 1869 over $4,000 miles of the 81, 900
miles of railroad in the United States have
been constructed.

How THE MAINE BUSINESS WAS DONE 1t
will be remembered that when Garcelon and
his Council announced the result of tn cir tab
ulation of the Maine election returns, all the
defective returns were strangely enough
those from towns where there was Republi-
can majority, Not a Democratic town ap-
peared with a flaw in its returns. The Hale
investigating committee is explaining this
seeming monopoly of blunders by the Repub-
lican town officers by showing at each day 4
sitting that the invarable rule in the Garce-
Ion Council chamber was to throw out all de-
fective returns from Republican towns. and
to send back for correction all defective re-
turns from Democratic towns. This is what
the Democrats called going by the face of the
returns. The Garcelon operators put on a
face" to suit themselves. For example, the
town of Berwick had a Fusion majority The
total vote, as given in the official returns,
was jGl, but the whole number of votes was
really only j3l. The Governor and his coun-
ell decided at the outset that defect of this
kind was fatal yet they erased 'sixty-one #"
and substituted thirty one" and counted
the return. When they came to Fairfield,
they found large Republican majority and
two returns The town officers discovered
after they had sent in their return that they
had made mistake they, therefore, filled
out second one, signing 1t as the law re-
quires, and pasted on memorandum that it
was an amended return. The judicial tabu-
lators decided that the two returns contradict
ed each other, tore off the memorandum,
threw out the vote of the town, and counted
in a Fusionist This is an easy and sure way
of figuring out from a minority And Garce-
Ion says he is proud of it

The cash payments actually made by Mr.
Harris on account Of the roads construction,
and fully detailed in our last issue, were
sl1IT95, thus showing an actual cash def
icit of SO, 23j, for which he has received no
equivalent, and which is exclusive of all his
claims for extra work, and of all outside ex-
penses incurred by him in connection with
the enterprise from its inception. About these
figures there is no "hocus pocus," and they
cannot be gainsaid in any particular.

The above named $50, 900 in bonds was re-
turned by Mr.. Harris entire to the railroad
company S2j, 800 in the bonds themselves,
and 81, 500 having been applied by Mr. Har-
ris in payment for the roads equipment,
which equipment becomes, under the settle
ment, the property of the company In the
settlement with Mr. Harris he received about
81, 200 in cash, additional, on account of the
retained percentages for work done. He also
received, as is understood, from the iron
company, who failed to fulfil their contract
with him, about Sll, 900
1t will thus be seen that Mr. Harriss total
receipts on account of tho road were as fol.
lows, exclusive of the bonds paid him, and
