The Levy List.

The annual Report of the Finances ofthe
county will be found in another column of
this issue Ii belongs to the '.stump-tail'
class of "hanimals," and our readers will
not be over much enlightcdcd by it as to the
minute disposal of the county funds
Doubtless they have been expended judi
ciousy. We know of two bridges-one
across Herring Run, and the other at Dor
scy's Fording, on Conowingo Creek, which
will accommodate, on an average, nearly
one passenger day. and which cost about
1000 only. amongst the economical expcn-
SEES Of the present year. We merely mention
this by way of apology to the people for the
somewhat condensed Report of the Levy
List, as it is principal Of rigid economy
which influences the County Commissioners,
in publishing so short. and unsatisfactory
to some grumbling people--a Report. A
saving in advertising bills Of matter of
fifty or sixty dollars is effected thereby. which
is quite an item toward building bridges and
opening roads for private convenience, till
which system of internal Improvement for
the county is completed, every other expense
must be curtaied.

Our First Page.

/ The address of the Maryland State Central
Committee will be found on our first page
The following extract is from that address :
The Constitution is adopted the exclusion
of traitors is law beyond even the bubble of
lawyers; the taking of the oath now is per-
Jury by all confessions. and we must and will
see to it that traitors are excluded from the
polls, and that the penitentiary shall receive
the perjurcrs. The Constitution makes it
the duty Of the Judges of Election care
fully to exclude " all who have aided the
Rebels-all who have expressed their desire
for the success Of the Rebel arms. The
taking of the oath alone does not qualify n
voter. The Judges must be satisfied Of his
loyalty before he has right to vote. and we
urge on every loyal man to see that these
disfranchised persons are challenged and
excluded.
a short speech from the President on the
occasion Of screnade by the loyal Mary
|anders Of the District. is characteristic of
the simple. truthful nature of the man.
This short speech. taken in connection with
an article on the same page, How the Prcsi
dent Draws his Salaryreveals that unassuming
and pure patriotism of the Chief Magistrate
which throbs in unison with the feelings of
the great masses of the nation and explains
the Presidents unbounded popularity among
the people.

Soldier Politics.

Tom Tyson, who is in the Army of the
Potomac, in a recent lettersto a friend in
this town, writes -
20 81 would like to get to Elk this fall to
vote for Old Abe. The Rail Splitter is my
man, certain. am stronger for him now
than ever. There is great change in the
last few months among the soldiers in the
Army of the Potomac. Some time ago little
Mac appeared to be the choice of good
many of them but now you seldom come
across a Mcclellan man. They have got it
into their heads that Abe is the only man
that can settle this Rebellion, and if Mac is
the next President that it never will be set
tied. And that's just what old Tom Tyson
believes. So three cheers for Abe and
Andy, the men that will just wipe out all
the other candidates that appear against
them"

The New Constitution im the
Courts.

The pro-slavery Copperhead party Of Ma
rYland are trying every expel.ient to defeat
The new Constitution. which has been adopt
ed b, about four hundred majority. On
Monday last an application was made to the
Superior Court Of Baltimore city for q man
damus to compel Go, ernor Bradford TO
throw out the soldier vote. Judge Martin
refused the application, and the case was
taken to the Court of Appeals. On Tues
day bill for an injunction was filed in the
Circuit Court for Baltimore county to enjoin
the Governor from counting the soldier vote
and issuing his proclamation. &c. The in
junction was refused by Judge Price, and
the case was taken to the Court Of Appeals
The applicants in both proceedings are Oden
Bowie, Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, Ezekiel T. Chambers. and We
believe one or two more Copperhends Of
the same stripe.
| For Years and years these same men have
been engaged in the effort to degrade free
labor by building up an aristucracy with
slavery as its basis; and with persisteucy
worthy of II better cause. are now trying tt
disfranchise the soldiers who are battling fol
the Union and the old flag.
So base an attempt to defeat the popular
will, shows to what cxpedients the enemies
of the Union will resort to sustain the ac
cursed institution of slavery, and thereby
lend aid and comfort to Jeff Davis & Co.
| And it .behooves every true Marylander
with the good of his State and country al
heart, to 90 to the polls on the sth Of No
vember. and cast his vote for Abraham Lin

Several of our Cecil county chivalry, who
entered the rebel army three years ago, in
search of their "rights,'' having received
said "rights," or grown tired of a bootless
search after them, having escaped from the
rebel army, or receiving honorable discharges
therefrom, are now within our lines.
The question arises among those whose
brothers, sons and husbands, have been
slain by the rebel army, how they will relish
sight of those aiders and abettors, and
