An Ascending ex-Tax Collector.

We learn that considerable local excite
ment has been created in the quiet town OF
Corinna, by the sudden departure Of Clements
c. Libby, greenbacker, who has been Tax
Collector Of the town for several years prior
to this Spring when he was succeeded by a re-
publican. 1t is stated that Libby had not
fully settled his accounts tor several years I'M
der the greenback administration, and that of
about 81, 900 of taxes committed to him it
is not known how much he has collected, as
his books are gone. He has wife and two
children in Corinna, and Jonathan Hutch
ings, Robert Knowles and John Bigelow were
his bondsmen for 1879. He left home last
Thursday, driving over to Pittsfield where he
took the cars. He afterwards sent postal
card from Boston to a man in Corinna to
whom he had sold his team, telling him
where to find it in Pittsfield. Libby is
about thirty-ive years of age. and has
hitherto stood WELL 1t is generally thought
that he has Incorporated one or two thou
sand dollars, but that the towns interest will

Beaconsfield on the Elections

LONDON, May 20. In his speech at the
meeting of the conservatives at the Bridge
water House, yesterday, Beaconsfeld is
stated to have admitted the great surprise he
felt at the result of the recent election. He
took upon himself part of the blame for the
dissolution Of parliament but said the party
whips were not blameless, as the defeat of the
conservatives greatly due to lamentable
deficiencies in organization, which he trusted
would be remedied in the future, and with
that view he suggested the appointment of
committee lie said that the rumors Of his
retirement from the leadership Of the party
were un;ounded. If the party considered his
retention of the leadership to be of advantage
whatever ability he possessed would be de-
voted to their service. CarnarvOn said he
had seeded from the government in conse-
quence of differences " it'll his colleagues upon
single measures. The composition Of the
new ministry filled him with doubt and dis
may. and he felt it to be his duty to support
the conservative PARTY to the utmost of his

luton instructing the committee not to con-
slider the claims of contrasting delegates who
bolted from any convention which met at the
place and time designated by the proper
authority.

was received with tremendous cheers by the
| Blaine WaShburne men. The motion was
tabled.
