Special Despatch to the Boston Evening Record.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-One prominent
Maine Democrat is in way to lose the in
fiuence which he has claimed to exert on this
administration. His name is 5. ). Brown
and he is chairman of the Democratic State
Committee. Since the Inauguration he has
spent the greater part of his time in Wash
ington acting as an intermediary in securing
the small post offices and other places for
Maine Democrats. Since he recommended
Dunton, then in jail, for postmaster at Lin
colnyille, his suggestions have been rather
diseredited, and Of late the Presidents at
tention has been called to certain transac-
ton, which has put an end to Browns influ-
ence in securing offices. 1t seems that Brown
has been making money out of those who
thought their positions had been secured by
his influence. His plan was something after
this fashion: After he had found out that an
appointment was determined upon he would
write letter something like this:

the paltry rs cents on each 800,
which is the utmost limit of taxation
in this Kingdom, but in so doing
they commit an offense against pub
lie morals far more dangerous than
any act of burglary by a common
thief
Men of property who act in this
way cannot possibly think of the
dangerous tendency and criminality
of their conduct, striking as it does at
the very foundation of Government.
While they evade their taxes, they
require the Government to protect
their property whether disclosed or
concealed. To this end Courts of
justice are organized, police main-
tanned and sanitary laws enforced,
while they are the first to make an
cutlery should there be any remissness
on the part of the Government in full
filling these functions. But the poor
man, who has nothing to protect in
the way of property, must pay his
poll tax, and his school and road
taxes, or work out his dues to the
State on the Reef. The small trader
and small property owner in like
property, is assessed to the full
value; while the rich man, who can
conceal either money or valuabIes
for the space of twenty-four
hours, escapes taxation upon it and
cheats the State. This was notably
the case in the matter of bank de-
posits which were Withdrawn on
June 30th, to the amount of about a
quarter of million, and redeposited
on the Cd July. Furthermore, the
values of plantation property returned
to the Assessors have been in many
instances absurdly under the true
value.
We do not care to particularize, or
to cite cases in illustration of these
general remarks, which we might
easily do. Suffice it to say that po-
itical Pecksniffs who pirate so much
about the immortality of the Govern
ment should take care that the meas
ure of their own laches is not made
public. 1t will be the daty of the
Assessors, of course, to make a true
and correct valuation where mani
testify false returns have been sworn
to. But so fragrant has the attempted
evasion of taxes become that the
Legislature must devise some means
whereby this species of public rob-
berry may be prevented. Meantime,
we advise our contemporaries to say
nothing more about public morality.
Not few of their supporters have
been tried in the balance and found
very short weight indeed.
