fails Junittkc Journal AUOU8TA. MONDAY MORNING, January 1, 1872. 1871-1 STS. The year 1871 has closed. Its record is finished. Our chief duty now is to glance at the page it has written, briefly recall its events, and perhaps consider tlio in fluence they have exerted or will exert. While the year lias not been without its calamities, none of a wide-reaching and remarkably disastrous character have oc curred. Tho great fire at Chicago, ren dering a hundred thousand people house less in a day and night, may be reckoned' one of the most serious calamities. But if the stroke was sudden and terrible, the relief afforded was prompt, efficient, and noble with Christian sympathy and prac tical charity. The tires in the woods of the West are only second to the fire at Chicago. The deaths and suffering by the latter were more than those caused by the former. These were the heaviest and most notable conflagrations of the year. From pestilence the world has not suf fered heavily. The cholera has ravaged some districts upon the ft as tern continent, and almost obtained a foothold upon this, yet its march has not been very destruc tive or wide. The spread and fatality of other diseases are not specially noticeable. Along with the famine in Persia, which has been severer probably than the ac counts received make known, there has gone sickness, occasioned by destitution, which has been destructive to human life. Pestilence is usually a co-worker with Famine. Persia will long remember the year past on account of the visitation of those fearful agents of the grim Reaper. By sea the loss of life and pioperty has been less than usual. The elements have been propitious to those who find their calling upon the mighty deep. The loss of the Arctic whaling fleet was the great est calamity. Earthquakes have shaken our foundation in various places, but with no serious’or alarming consequences. In railroad disasters the year lias probably been unsurpassed, yet tlio actual loss ot life is very small. In comparison with the amount of travel, a mere bagatelle. W* fear that the criminal records for 1871 present a dark history. The. gallows has been in almost constant use in our land. Jails and prisons have received many in mates. We judge the millenium is not yet at hand. Turning to the brighter side of the picture we note witli pleasure the close of the great war between France and Germany, tho es tablishment of peace between the two coun tries, the overthrow of the Commune, the end of the one-man power in France we hope, and the foundation of a republican government. Tholigh Thiers is beset by faction and fierce opposition, we trust Franee is seeing the dawn of lasting free dom. Spain also has found a govern ment, but the political elements of tlio country are in a ferment, and what stabil ity’ has beon secured for tlio new ruler re mains to be proved. In spite of all the efforts of the government the revolution in Cuba continues. The occupation of Rome by the king as the capital of re-uni ted Italy, is an important event, to the world, as well as to the Papal power. The union and consolidation of the German States under the Emperor William, ac complished this year, places that govern ment iu the front rank of European pow ers. The year closes with Europe and Asia generally at peace. Below the sur face, however, there is violent agitation among the working classes, and schemes of crowned, discrowned, and would-be crowned, heads, that may change the scene to strife and bloodshed. On this continent xvar continues iu Uruguay and Cuba, and revolution lias begun in Mexi co. Brazil has honored herself by meas ures for the abolition of slavery in her borders. The United States government is at peace with all the world. By the ratifica tion of the treaty of Washington, the dif ficulties between this country and Great Britain are put in a way to be finally set tled, so that they may not stand us a con tinual provocation to war, jeoparding the peace of the two countries. This is a grand work, over which the peace loving people of America and England may rejoice. Our country lias been prosperous in its industrial enterprises during the year. Bountiful crops blessed the hus bandman, and labor has been generously remunerated in field, forest, factory and mines. The national debt has been large ly reduced. Taxes have decreased. Cor ruption has been rooted up in politics. l?e lorm of the civil service ims commenced in earnest. Never since the nation began has it shown greater (strength or higher promise than in the year 1871. With this hasty glance at gome of the leading events of the last year, we turn from its ashes to the New Year, to learn if we can what 1872 may do lor the world and us. To the young it presents visions of brightness and felicity; to the old the prospect is less inciting, and the eye turns backward more willingly than for ward. With peace prevailing over the earth there would seem to be good reason to anticipate a peaceful year, although there are ominous movements in liussia and Germany of coming war, aud France, Spain and Italy excite as much fear as hope in their present circumstances. With the restoration of the l'rince of Wales to health the Britign government is relieved from anxiety about the regency ijuestion. In this country scarcely a shadow is east upon the future: Our vast fields, wrought by strong arms and labor saving imple mentsv. promise to fill our granaries as never before. All our productive inter ests are flourishing. Commerce has been ia a decline, but the signs are auspicious that Congress will adopt measures to im prove this interest, giving shipbuilding a new impetus. The troubles in the South arc not ended, but the steps taken by the government to suppress the Ku-klux or ganization are operating favorably, and after the election in November of the re publican candidate for President, this in famous association will die out. and the South give up the struggle against destiny and its own welfare. JJ'ho political contest will doubtless be lively enough to be in teresting, but the democracy will meet with a crushing defeat, no matter under what banner or leader take they the field. We hail the New Year, then, with no gloomy anticipations. This day the Daily Kennebec Journal starts on the third year of its existence, and the Weekly Journal has already entered upon its forty-eighth year. The success of the Daily is grati fying; the subscription list of the Weekly was never so large and strong as at pres ent. To our nptny readers we send the greeting of the season, a IIAPPY NEW YEAR. THE PROPOSED NEW CHARTER FOR NEW YORK.. The Committee of Seventy in New York has prepared and published a draft of a new charter fur the city. After what has been seen of misgovernment under the old charter the public will be curious to see the new one proposed. One of the most notable innova tions is the adoption ot the cumulative system of voting in the election of Aldermen and school commissioners. The application of this principle would be as follows Nine Al dermen aru elected in each Senate District. Every elector is privileged to deposit nine separate ballots. On each of these he may inscribe a different name, or he may repeat a single name on all of the ballots, thus casting nine votes for one man, or he may give three men three votes each, or distribute them in any other way he seos fit. The practical re sult would be that each party would secure a representation substantially proportionate to its vote. Both would make nominations as now, but the number of nominations would be regulatedaby their relative strength. In a district where the Democrats outnumbered the Republicans two to one, the former would nominate six and the latter three, and the ballots would be arranged and distributed in a way to secure' the election respectively of these candidates. We find the following synopsis of the charter in the Albany Jour nal. It vests in the Board of Aldermen, to be elected annually, full legislative power to ap propriate but not to borrow money, except by special legislative acts. The Board is for bidden to give nr loan money to any private charitable institution, except on the recom mendation of the Board of Charities, and it shall neither alienate or lease any public pro perty, nor pass any resolution taxing the citi zens without two days' public notice. There are to lie forty-five Aldermen and fifty-five School Commissioners elected, on the cumulative principle, so as to ensure a minority representation. Each elector casts nine ballots, with a different name on each, with the multiplication of the same name on them all, if lie chooses. It cuts off the Department of Public Build ings and confers its powers, as well as those of the Croton Aqueduct Board and Street Commission, upon the Department of Public Works, and confers the duties of the Cham berlain upon the Controller. A new Department of the Public Treasury, to be composed of five Commissioners, of whom lie will be one, is to be associated with the Controller in the management of the city fi nan cos. The Mayor is to be elected annually, and may be removed by the Governor for cause. The Executive Departments are eleven in number, namely: Works, Parks, Docks, Charities and Correction, Finance, Sinking Fund, Law, Instruction, Police, Health, and Fire. Of these, the Departments of Law and Public Instruction are not substantially changed. There are to be no more corporation news papers, but all official advertisements, re ports, &e., are to be published daily in a cheap paper to be called the "City Record." There are some complications iri the mode of filling vacancies, but any defects which may be discovered can, of course, be recti fied by the Legislature. It appears to be the intention of the Com mittee to revive the old Metropolitan Police district system, to include the Police, Health und Fire 1). partment. But the subject is left for future consideration. The proposed Charter is yet imperfect; but enough is,written out to enable the Legisla ture to judge of the general character of the reforms desired. Mr. Baker, Commissioner of Pensions, who was Provost Marshall in Missouri during the war, says that Sabine County, where the at tack on the negroes is reported to have been made on Christmas day, was one ot the most disloyal comities in the whole State during the Rebellion. Before the war the percentage of slave population wns nearly as great as in any of the Gulf States, and hardly a single Union man could be fuutid among the white people of the county. During the whole war they were constantly giving the Union officers trou ble, and they were the last in the State to sur render. The? Board of Indian Commissioners re port to the President thet they have saved about one million dollars in the purchase of Indian supplies and in other economic «1 measures in their management during the past year. The gentlemen comj osing the Board have earned their salaries. The sneers of men in the West who think Indians and wolves should bo treated with equal consideration, will hardly prevail among “eastern philan thropists" against such solid facts as the Com missioners present to the public. The Hornet is at length to be relieved from her long blockade at Port au Prince, which will greatly relieve the black republic at the same time. The I'nited States steamer Con gress, now ly ing at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, is to be despatched to convoy the Hornet to New York, where her troubles will recom mence, »s on her arrival there she will be libelled for a breach of the Registry law. The Chicago national banks have proved themselves more hardy than salamanders. They are in better condition than before the great fire. The last statement, published, I shows that their available means amounts to more than sixty-three percent, of their depos its, so that they would be obliged to call in only about one-third of their loans to pay off j their depositors in full. The London Standard has a report that the French squadron will proceed immediately to Greece to support the claims of-French citi zen* to the »ilver mines of L&urinna.

State Temperance Convention. The men and women of Maine, who practice to tal abstinence from all intoxicating liquors, and who are in favor of the prohibition of their sale oy legal enactments, are invited to meet in Mass Conven tion ut GKA SITE H A LL, AUGUST A, WEDNES DAY, Jan. 17,1872, at 12 o’clock,^neon, to consult upon the best measures to promote the cuuse of Temperance in the state. w lute this convention is not called in the Inter ests of any political party or religious creed, the fact is patent that there is g eat disssatir-faction among the old long-tried and leading f iends of Temperance in tne Stale, with the present aspect of the cause, and especially that those w hose duty it is to enforce the Prohibitory Law should fail to do so. t is also the conviction that some neces sary changes should be made in the !aw, and that measures should be taken to secure its more gen era! and impart!; 1 enforcement. The usual reduction of fares on the railroads may be expected, The convention will continue through the fol lowing day. Joshua Xye, J. 8. Kimball, D. B. Randall, E. W. Morton, A. J. W.

There has been quite an excitement in the quiet little town of Mercer, in Somerset county, and some knock-down arguments. 1 i-eemsthat School District No. 2, in that town has lailed to provide a suitable school building, and acting under the (tat utes some of the citizens caused a meeting to be called, and it was voted to raise $1000 tor the pur pose of purehesing a lot and building a suitable school house thereon, and, of course, taxing the people of the district for the amount. Last .Septem ber the district got an injunction on collecting the tax. Last week a number of the “new housemen” and the “old house men" met in Mercer and quite a riot eusued. Some bad blood was exhibited, pistols were drawn and blows were passed be tween the combatants. The “old houi-e men” ap pear to have began the row and five of them were arrested, tried at Norridgewock and bound over n the sum of one hundred dollars each for trial be fore the Supreme Judi^hd Court. Last week an application was made to Judge Barrows by the counsel, for these men lor a renewal of the injunc tion, but it was refused, and so the “old school house men” in the district must not he naughty any more, but go forward and help build a suitable sbool house. Condition of the Banks in the State. Second annual Keport or the Bank Ex aminer. Hon. William Philbrick, of Skowhegan, Bank Examiner of the State, lias submitted to the Governor and Executive Council hi9 report of the condition and standing of the banks of discount and deposit, and of the savings institutions of the State. The following table shows the aggregate of the liability and assets of the hanks of dis count and deposit: Capital stork. *115,000 00 Circulation, 6,011 oo Deposits. ,126,510 60 Due on divldemfs, 7,248 oo Doe to banks, 4,770 01 Pro tits 01,205 *855,860 71 Assets. Doans, *568,843 25 Bonds and storks. 81,475 00 Beal estate. 16,000 00 Due from banks, 107,306 II Cash, 61,640 35 *855,300 71 With the present government tax on the rlrculatlon of Stato banks, all the inducement there is for these banks to continue business lies in the hopo that Congress will permit them to organize as national banks. When the last annual report wa9 tnadt there was a deficiency in the outstanding claims against the American Hank of Hal lowell of 831,290, and to meet this claim the the Supreme Judicial Court assessed the stockholders of the bank 842 on each shart held at the lime of the injunction, and order ed a bill in equity to lie brought by the Ile eeivers to recover the amount. The bill it now pending in the courts. There is now a balance in the hands of the I5e*oeivors of 817, G85 39. The assessment on 44G shares re main unpaid; on 130 of which it is unavaila ble from bankruptcy, &c., and a large numbei of the remaining shares are held out of tin State and the assessment uncollectablc. Tin sum now on band will pay about 57 cents on the dollar of the original claim, exclusive ol interest. 1 he other State hanks have so nearly wound up their affairs that the public have no inter est in them. The Examiner deems the present system ol national banks as vastly superior to Statu in stitutions. He believes that a return to specie payments and the necessary adoption of some system of redemption of bank notes, would revive the old trouble incident thereto with which all bankers under tbe old system are but too familiar, and put into the hands of the “money changers" the power to create panics and clog the wheels of business, a state of tilings which cannot be accomplished under the present system. The banks of discount in the State are Eastern, Mercantile, and Veazie banks ol Bangor, and Lime Hock and North hanks ol Hockland. Since the last annual report, seven new -avings banks, chartered in 1S08-70-71, have been organized and commenced business Camden Savings Bank, Camden, ilartland savings Hank. Ilartland. Fairfield Savings Bank Kendall,a Mills Kennel.unk Saving- Banks, Kennebunk. JVmbroke Savings Bank, Fumbroke. Phillips Savings Bank, Phillips. Hielimoml savings Bank. Richmond. The Lumberman’s Savings Bank at Old town has closed business. At this date 411 savings banks are doing business in tbe State, with deposits, including reserve and profits, amounting to $22,787,802 45, against $10,597, 888 78 last year. Accordingly there Is a gain in de posits sirn-e last year of 189.913 07 Tlie increase of de'positors. 15,25a The average to each depositor is. #328 3o An increase in one y ear of 21 el Tile number of depositors who have bulance less than $500, is 57,564 The amount of the same is 8,243,396 l> An average to each depositor of 110 69 Tlie number of depositors who have Tal lin i s of $500 and over, and less than #1000 is (1,833 The number with lialanee- exceeding tlOOOis 5,009 fii amount Of surh deposits, 14.543,80 1 00 A vi raging to each depositor 1,220 no Mlvi.lends averaging a fraction levs than 7 per cent, that have been paid during the year, amounting to 1 152,195 85 While the income from governments and bonds of first class cities anil towns gave from seven to nine per cent., banks had no difficulty in making la'go dividends safely. But such is not the ease. The e arnings of some few banks are now insufficient, after paying the established dividends, to carry tlie legal amount to reserve. “The result of such a course," says the Examiner, “w ill be a tendency to invest in that class of securities which promises high rates, the payment of which d>pends upon a problematical income— a class of securities in which the money of legitimate savings bank depositors should never be invested. There is a very general feeling, and an expressed desire on the part of the managers of these institutions, that the rate of dividends should be reduced, but owing to local pride, competition, and a w ant of concert of action, it has not been accom plished. Asa remedy for this state of things, and as a measure of safety, there should he a reduction in the rate of dividends to be paid, and if no other way by a law of the State, limiting regular semi-annual dividends to six per cent, per annum, with such extra divi dends as could he paid from the surplus earn ings, once in five years, thus rendering it practicable to invest in safe securities the in come of which is based on actual property.” The Examiner says that equity and the best interests ot the banks demand that a State tax be imposed upon savings banks. The tax of one-half of one per cent, per annum, required to be paid to the Government, does not fall where it was intended, and there is no good reason why it should he longer contin ued. The reserve fund should be. guarded with great care, and the semi-annual examin ations by the Trustees should be thorough and searching. The practice of some institu tions, where connected witli national or State banks, of haring the Trustees and Directors the same, is consi lered hv the Examiner of doubtful policy.

A Herald reporter inter viewed Secretary Kish last evening on the subject of the recall of Spanish Minister Huberts and Captain General Valmasada. Mr. Fish says: 1 am sorry about the recall of the Spanish Minister for I have yet to know the Spaniard, who is a better man than Senor Roberts. He lias been invariably courteous and kind whenever he possibly could; he advocated ahumane policy in Cuba and endeavored to mitigate the severity ot the Spanish rule. Reportor—lias Senor Roberts been sus pended because be was perhaps too concilia tory for his government? Secretary Fish—He lias been conciliatory, but also firm and not more conciliatory than hi* instructions warranted him to be. His in stru lions may have been wrong, but whether righ- or wrong lie was bound to follow them. Whether the action of tlie Spanish govern ment indicates any change in tlie policy re garding Cuba he was unable to say. On be ing questioned on the subject of tlie State department, the Secretary declined' to give intonnation but the hesitating manner of his answer gave tlie impression that tiis resig nation is at hand. Tlie World's Havana letter of the 23d inst., says that Count Valmasada lias just decreed a practical enslavement of the whole Chinese population of Cuba numbering some 35,000 souls. The decree orders the 10,000 or 15, 000 free Chinese to immediately enroll them selves under the tutelage of the government tutors and work in the government work shops receiving for their labor only 84000 per month, out of which to provide against a rainy day ordering that all Chinese w ho are now working under contracts to be reinden tured on tlie expiring of the terms or be sent to jail.

The commissioner of internal revenue decides that tax must be paid upon dividends declared out of the earn ings ot the year 1871, and upon interest and coupons which accrued in that year, even though the dividends are not declared on in terest not payable till after December 31st. 1871, and corporations mentioned in section 15 of the act of July 14th, 1870, should wtili hold the tax from holders of their stocks and bonds. The records of the treasury department show that there were two vessels named •‘Ospey,” which were engaged in foreign trade in 1854. Diligent inquiry is being made to ascertain if either of them was the one which rescued tlie supposed heir of tlie Tychborne estate from the wrecked British vessel. Mary Shea who killed police Doyle yester day has been committed to jail to await the decision of the grand jury. The Secretary of the Treasury lias author ized tlie assistant treasury at New York to sell.one million of gold on the second and fourth Thursdays, and to purchase one mil lion ot bonds on the first and third Thursdays in January. Judge Lochrane. late Chief Justice of Georgia, and one of the most prominent of Southern republicans, had a long interview with the President yesterday. He says that tlie administration w ill not interfere in the gubernatorial nfl'tirs of Georgia, and as Gov. Conoly personally cares nothing for the office, there will be no contest between him and governor elect Smith concerning it. The Weather. War Department, 1 Office of the Chief Signal Officer.

The report telegraphed to this city to-day from New York that the steamer FUrida had been captured by the Spanish man-of-war Vasco Nunez de Balboa, is pronounced false. After the Florida had sailed from St. Thomas, the Spanish ship followed and fired a blank cartridge at her. The Florida continued on her way and the man-of-war then discharged a ball cartridge. The F'lorida at once laid too, and a boat was sent from the Vasco Nunez de Balboa, the officer in charge having ordered her to ex amine the Florida’s papers.
