was In Nashville about one year ago, saw
that extensive as had been his travels, he

The Comptroller's Report.

We have received a copy, in pamphlet form,
of the report of the Comptroller of the Treas
ury, for the fiscal year ending September 30lh
1870, which was submitted to the Governor on
the 9th instant. The receipts into the Treasury
from all sources, amounted to So, 967, 9l9 81
and the disbursements to So, 475, $50 l7-leav-
ing balance in the Treasury, September 3oth
of 1892, 76O II. The estimates for the present
year show balance of receipts over expendi-
lures of $74, $50. The report shows the State
levy for all purposes for the year 1870. and a
comparison of the assessed value Of property
in 1867 and in 1870. The exemptions under
recent laws have diminished the basis of as
sessment TO a very perceptible extent.
Notwithstanding the payment of the large
amount of extraordinary appropriations made
by the last Legislature, the finances of the
State exhibit healthy status, and the Comp.
troller fully expects to be able to show, at the
close Of the present fiscal year, condition of
the Treasury which will justify reduction of
the present taxation. He confidently believes
that an economical course on the part OF the
next Legislature in regulating their expepdi-
lures, and the passage OF heproper laws TO en-
force the payment of taxes already due, will
enable the direct tax to be repealed This will
be great relief to the farming interest, now
grooming under the immense burdens imposed
by the general government. The policy of the
federal government in discriminating against
the farming and producing interests, for the
benefit of manufacturers and capitalists, is felt
perhaps more severely by the farmers of Mary
land and the other Atlantic States than those
Of the great West
We are glad, indeed, to see the finances of
the State in such healthfu' condition, and the
clear and satisfactory manner in which the re-
port is presented reflects great credit upon the
Comptroller, and shows that the confidence re-
posed in him by the people of the State has
not been misplaced

DEATHS.

DIED, at o'clock, on the morning of the
25th of December, 1870, WIN, o. CARROLL,
son of JAMES H. CARROLL, of this county, aged
years, month and 81 days.
Hard by yon wood now smiling as in scorn,
Mutterng his hayward fancies, he would rave,
Now dropping, woful, wan, like one forlorn,
Or crazed with care, or crossed in hopeless love.
One morn missed him on the accustomed hill,
Along the path, and near his favorite tree
Another came nor yet beside the ril,
Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood, was he.
The next, with dirges due, in sad array,
Slow through the churehway path we saw him
borne
Approach and read flor thou capst read the lay
Graved on the stone beneath yon aged thorn.
There rests his head upon the lap of earth
youth, to fortune and to fame unknown:
Fair science frowned not on his humble birth
And melancholy marked him for her own
Large was his bounty and his soul sincere;
Heaven did recompense as largely send
He gave to misery all he had-a tear
He gained from Heaven-'tvas all he wished
friend.
No farther seek his merits to disclose,
Or draw his frailties from their dread abode;
There they alike, in trembling hope Tepose-
The bosom of his father and his Cod

Spread the Truth.


Some medical men insist that it is undigni-
fed to advertise a remedy, however valuable it
may be. Queer reasoning this. 1t is like
saying that an article which the world needs
should be hid in corner-that benefits and
blessings may be too widely diGused--that the
means of protecting and restoring health
should be close monopoly, and not accessible
to all. The argument is. bad. 1t is worse
than that it is inhuman. Suppose Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters-an absolute specific for dys-
pepsia, bilousness and nervous debility-had
never been known beyond the repertoire of the
faculty, what would have been the conse-
quence? Instead of curing and invigorating
millions, the good effects of the preparation
would have been confined TO a comparative
few. There is the highest authority for say
ing that light should not be hid under a BUSH
eli that whatever is excellent should be placed
as city on a hill, where all men can take
cognizance of it. 1t is upon this principle
that the Bitters have been advertised and con-
tinue to be advertised in every newspaper of
any prominence in the western hemisphere,
and that the spontaneous testimonials in its
favor have been translated into all written
languages. Thousands enjoy perfect health
to-day who would be languishing on beds of
sickness if the newspapers had not spread The
truth Nth regard to this uaegaaled inpigorant
and corrective far and wide. Suppose profit
has been reaped from this publicity. Is that
any argument against it? II the public health
has been protected; if lives have been saved;
if the feeble have been strengthened and the
sick restored, great good has been accomplished;
and who so mean as to grudge to exertions
thus directed their fair rewards

Rottenness of the Radical Party.


BY the confession Of its own supporters, the
Radical party is rotten to the core. There is
not single charge the Democratic journals
have brought against them that has not been
acknowledged to be true by prominent Repub-
lican speakers and papers. We may pass over
GRANTS vindictive, bnt iubeciIe attempts TO
control elections in the several States by per-
sonal and military interference, for all such eff
forts have not only brought him into we'll
merted disrepute, but have resulted in signal
disaster to his party. He is but the instrument
of certain clique of Radical politicians, who
are using him to serve their own ends, and who
are seeking, at the same time, to weaken his
chances for denomination to the Presidency.
We may safely leave him in their hands, well
knowing that, by listening to the counsels, and
responding to the suggestions of BUTLER, and
other Radicals of similar stamp, he is destin-
ed, sooner or later, TO find himself deceived
and betrayed.
Nevertheless if we take a general view Of
the Radical party, as party, we shall find that
GRANT is, in reality, its fit exponent, and that
his executive acts are but the natural outgrowih
of its legislative measures. Ever since the
war closed, the Republican leaders have carried
matters with such a high hanth that arrogance
and pride of place could go no further. In
stead Of regarding themselves the servants of
the people, they have assumed to be the mas
ters, and, by a system Of corruption unparal-
leled in the history of any country, and by
conniying at jobs, and by special legislation.
they have pundered the Treasury and the coun-
try at large on the one band, and, on the other
have fed fat their ancient grudge against the
people of the South. The signs of the times
show conclusively that large numbers of men
who have hitherto acted with the Republican
party, are beginning TO revolt at these outrages,
and at the burthens imposed upon them and
in the election of 1872, will throw off the yoke
Of bondage, and assist the Democracy to over
throw a corrupt Administration, and restore
the government to honest hands that will re-
establish lis pristine glory and prosperity
