What Democracy Has Done for the Tax.
PAYERS,

The State tax is classified as follows. it
the County Commissioners proceedings
For State, cents on the 800 of assessable
property in the county, for Bounty, 81 cts,
for School purposes, 10 cents, and for
Southern Relief cent The assessment of
3 cents is to meet the interest on the orig
inal State debt. and 10 cents is for general
school purposes. The revenues arising
from this tax being distributed among the
counties and the city of Baltimore for Pub
lie Education. But the g Bounty tax : of
$ cents, and Southern Relief tax Of ! 4
cent, what are their objects? These two
amounting to 6 cents on the 500. are the
creation of the rebel Legislature which sat
unopposdd in Annapolis the two last SEES
sions. The 81 cents levy represents the
"a, ZOO, 900 "Bounty Loan" so-called, the
intension of which loan was to give as
many of the former slave owners of the
State and ex-rebels, an opportunity to re-
cover compensation for their slaves who had
Joined the Union armies, much to the dis
gust of those same masters for whose
especial benefit this ''Bounty' bill was
passed The cent levy is to pay the do
nation made to Southern rebels from the
treasury of the State, to compensate them,
in some measure, for the losses they suS-
tanned by the rebellion which they inaug
urated in high glee against the National
Government in 1861. These are two speci-
mems of the manner in which the Demo-
cratic, rebel party which now control the
affairs of the State, have managed its tinan-
ces which is nothing more or less than tax
ing the people to put their money into the
pockets of the lirest enemies of the Gov
ernment.
Our Commissioners have apparently pur
sued the old custom which has been prac-
ticed by every Board for-perhaps 'time
out of mind:'' which is to make the county
levy comparatively light the last year of
their administration. which has been in
variably met by a correspondingly heavy
assessment the following year. This seems
to us bad policy. The Commissioners
and make every year carry its own expen
ses We hope though we may lie mistaken
in this instance and that the levy next year
will not be increased in order to meet OK
penses of the present year which should be
provided for in the forthcoming levy.

Annapolis.

The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, in concluding the rep ort of the Grand
ball given at the Naval Academy on last
Friday night, winds up with the following
sketch of the ''City of the Ancient Severn.
Annapolis, the capital of Maryland. re
ceiyed its name in los in honor of Queen
Anne of England 1t is situated on the
south branch of the river Severn. thirty
miles south from Baltimore. and forty miles
from Washington. Its population is about
four thousand and its shipping six thous-
and tons. The site of the city is one of
great beauty. commanding an extensive
view of the Chesapeake and the surround
ing country. which exhibits a great diver
sity of landscape and picturesque scenery.
The appellation of the 8 Beautiful City :"
has been applied to her, especially when
clothed i'll Nature brightest livery. Annap-
oils is the birth place of some of the most
distinguished men this country can boast
of. The public buildings are the State
House, the Treasury, the Government
House, st. Johns College, Episcopal
Church, Roman Catholic Chapel, Methodist
Church, African House of Worship, Farm
ers Bank of Maryland, Court House, City
Hall, City Hotel, ballroom, and theatre
The State House is situated on Il beautiful
elevation i'll the centre of the city. and the
main building is of brick,-the superstruc-
ture which surmounts it is of wood. The
height from the base to the top of the Spire
is 200 feet and to the platform of the dome
135 feet. The hill on which this noble cdi-
flee stands is enclosed by a neat and sub
stantial granite wall, surmounted by a
handsome Iron railing, which is entered ly
three gates. In the Senate chamber are
portraits of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence on the part of Maryland,
and it was here that George Washington
resigned his commission. In the delegates
chamber is a full-length likeness of Wash
ington, attended by Lafayette and Col.
Tilghman. and i'll his hand he holds the
articles of captulation at Yorktown
This picture was painted by Charles Wilson
Peale, in pursuance of a resolution of the
General Assembly of Maryland.
