Mr.. EDITOR Il have finished taking the

including the town of Port Deposit, the
returns of which l send you as correct as |
could ascertain from the inhabitants. |
wish to thank the people for their uniform
kindness in giving information, not includ-
ing, however, those who thought was the
man who was raising their taxes, or that
was enrolling for the French war; neither
do l mean those, who, when l asked their
age, simply told me it was none of my
business-I do not mention which sex.
have found the farms generally in a
thrifty condition among which are many
handsome ones. I especially notice Mr..

DR.. w. B. Rowland's, VIM. T. Vests and
Richard Halls, of the Eighth District.

Hinton, of Port Deposit, who says he was
about ten years old in 1776. l have made
inquiries of several of the oldest inhabit-
ants, who say he is older than he represents
himself to be, which is 112. He served
sixty eight years as a slave. His faculties
are good, particularly his memory.

Court PrOceedings.-The Fall term of
the Circuit Court for this county met on
Monday last. Present, Hon. Frederick
Stump, Associate Judge; Geo. w. Denny,
Esq, Sheriff; David Scott, Clerk; ex-
Judge John E. Brown, Crier, and the
usual corps de baalit: Judge Wickes ar
rived on Tuesday and Judge Robinson on
Wednesday, thus making full bench.
Mr.. William NJ. Knight was appointed
Foreman of the Grand Jury, which, after
being in session five days, adjourned on
Friday morning, having found twelve in
dictments-six for assault and battery, two
for larcency, two for selling liquor without
license, one for selling liquor on Sunday,
and one for murder.
But little progress had been made up to
Friday morning, only two cases having
been tried, as follows:
State cs Robert Thackery, indicted for
trespassIng upon the lands of Nicholas
Veloker, in Elk Neck. The defendant was
Road Supervisor, and, it appears, cut
down some bushes and small cedars grow
ing along the fence of Veloker for the pur-
pose of mending the road, deeming the
bushes of no value. This case was tried at
the last March term and verdict of guilty
rendered, but it transporting that some of
the jury, before agreeing upon their YER
dict, had left their room and gone across
the street to "see man," motion was
made and a new trial granted. 1t was
tried before a jury, who rendered verdict
of not guilty. Biddle for State; II. McCul-
Tough for defendant. This is new edi
ton to the song called 9 Father Will Foot
the BILL and is entitled The County
Will Foot the Bill"
James Cleaden Ds. Jas. McCauley, Exc
cutor of George Cleaden. An action on
an account for boarding the defendants
testator for several years. Commenced be-
fore jury on Tuesday morning, and still
on trial. II. Mccullough for plaintiff;
Archer and Evans for defendant.
William Pratt, native of England, de-
clared his intention of becoming citizen
two years hence, providing nothing in the
meantime happens to prevent his carrying
out his laudable ambition. Michael Harvey
and Michael Wheelan, citizens of the island
across the lake, and Erhart Ruehr, a
native of Bavaria, threw off her allegiance
to Queen Vic and "Our Fritz" and have
become naturalized, and we trust duly
registered voters.
Mr.. George J. Benjamin was admitted to
practice law in this Court.
On Monday morning the Court will COM
mence the trial of two murder cases re-
moved from Hartford county, which may
possibly occupy the week.

The New Orleans German Gazete, an
independent paper, thus speaks of the
Democratic sympathy for Mr.. Louis Napo-
leon, ex-Emperor of France. 1t will be
seen that the Democracy, from Maine to
Texas, Is unit on this question
In New Orleans the whole Democratic
press-the Picayune, Bee, Times, and But-
tetiia-have followed the example of their
contemporaries in the North and West, and
have not only avowed their sympathies with
Napoleon, but they have, wherever they
could, heaped shame and ignominy on the
German name. The Commercial Bulletin
went so far one morning as to bring out a
shameful article (schmah artical) against
German women.

The COlored Registered Vote.-The fol-
lowing is the number of colored voters reg
istered in this county. We believe the list
is correct.

The registers, as far as we can learn,
showed every disposition to perform their
work faithfully and impartially. In the
Sd District Mr.. w. Gilpin was very careful
that every one applying should have every
advantage extended to him in the way of
making his case clearif it had any doubts
resting upon it. There are a number of
colored men in several of the Districts who
did not present themselves for registration,
which if they claim the privilege when the
books are opened for correction, will swell
the number of colored voters in the county
to near one thousand.

WANTS Ills SLAvEs.-After the returns
of the recent election were received in
Raleigh, North Carolina, and the success
of the Democratic ticket announced, an
old slave holder made his appearance at
the Sheriff's office, and requested the
Sheriff to go with him and catch two of his
negroes who were then in Raleigh. The
Sheriff told him that the negroes were now
free, and that he had no right to catch
them. Well" said the old slave holder,

Gratis being elected, if | amt to have my

-Republicanism is paying well in one
sense at least. A Western paper says that
Iowa, under Republican rule, has paid off
all her public debt and has a large surplus
Indiana has paid the last dollar she owed
and her bonds are no longer the sport of
Wall-street stock jobbers; Illinois has
steadily increased her Indebtedness, and
has at easy command the means to extin-
guish it Michigan has reduced her indebt-
edness about two millions in the past eigh-
teen months, and under Grant the war
debt is shrinking by tens of millions every
month. In Maryland, Delaware and Ken
lucky, under unrestrained Democratic rule,
the State debt is increasing daily.

have resulted in Republican victories

Typographical ErrOrs.-In our report

read $20.75. And the account of Mr.. Lar
zalere for excavating was stated to be
$2675, when it should have been sec. %
The errors occurred by the printer in cor
recting "proof,'' taking the decimal point
from the latter and placing it in the former
numerical statement, which reversed the
amounts, making thousands of what should
have read twenties and rice cersa.
Also, in the census report our account
states the number of horses in the 5th
District to be 3G6 when it should have
been 566.
