Cathartc knoa0n.
1t is not necessary to take handful OF these
Pills to produce the desired effect; two of them
act quickly and powerfully, cleansing the
Liver, Stomach and Bowels of all impurities.
The principal Ingredients Podophyllin, or the
Alcoholic Extract of Mandrake, which is by
MANY times more powerful, acting and search
ing than the Mandrake itself. Its peculiar ac-
ton is upon the Liver cleaning it speedily
from all distractions, with all the power of
Mercury, yet free from the injurious results at
tached to the use of that mineral.
For all diseases, in which the use of
cathartic is indicated, these pills will give en-
tire satisfaction in every case. They never
fail.
In cases of Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia and
extreme costiveness, DIR. Hollands German
Bitters or Tonic should be used in connection
with the Pills. The tonic effect of the Bitters
or Tonic builds up the system. The Bitters or
Tonic purifes the Blood, strengthens the
Nerves. regulates the Liver, and gives strength,
energy and vigor.
Keep YOUR Bowels active with the Pills, and
tone up the system with Bitters or Tonic, and
no disease can retain the hold, or even assail
you.
Recollect that it is DR.. Hollands German
Remedies that are so universally used and
highly recommended; and do not allow the
Druggist to induce you to take anything else
that he may say is just as good, because he
makes a larger profit on it. These Remedies
will be sent by Express to any locality, upon
application to the PRINCIPAL OFFICE, at the

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TREAsU
RER'S ACCOUNTS.

R. W. Hook, Esq, Foreman
of the Grand Jury
The Committee appointed by you to exam
inc the books and accounts of the Treasurer o.
Baltimore county, having performed that duty
do respectfully submit the following report
The annexed form will show each months re-
ceipts and disbursements, which is, to say the
least, very explicit, and reflects great credit on
the gentlemanly and efficient clerk, Mr.. E. B
Almony. In short, the manner in which he
performs his duty should elicit from all an un
qualified appreciation.
Baltimore County in Account Nth A. A. Hurry
man, Treasurer Of said County, commencing

3lst Of December, 1870.

The returns Of the tobacco reEenue Of Virginia
dariag the twenty-five months Of President
Gfani's administration make glaring contrast
With the returns under Anerew Johason's ad-
minisrFaIiOn. The amount returned to the
Treasury since President Grants inaugural from
this source is 81, 800 567, which is S., 739. 81
more than was returned for the forty -four months
preceding bis administration For the six
months ending December 3lst, $780, the returns
footed up 81, l53, 5l2, being S677, 66s more than
was collected during the last twenty -four months
of Andrew Johnson's administration.
We consider that contrasts like these show
that President Grant and the Republican party
are worth something to the people and the coun-
try. While the President may entertain fancy
notions about horse, or may take special pleas
ure in driving by the beech at Long Branch, we
think the country can well afford to allow him
TO do it, when ne is doing such good things for
them. His riding with Mr.. Bonner and wishing
to hold the lines, Injuries nobody, while his Wig
orous collection of the tax is certainly gratifying
to the whole country and the Democratic party
besides, except those who pay the tax.
The shipments of tobacco from Virginia during
the last six months in store in bonded ware
houses amounted to IL, G6l, O92 pounds The to-
tai amount put in bond for the entire twenty-five
months OF the administration was sc, SCI, 92O
pounds. There were 199 factories at work du-
ring the season, using % hydraulic presses, L.
772 screw presses, SO culliDg machines and "a
hand mills. The aggregate sum of the bonds
given by manufacturers is 50, s33. 900.
The tobacco that has been manufactured, and
that placed in bond in Virginia since March LIST,
1869, and having been exported to Northern
cities and other localities, has thrown into the
treasury from all the places where the tax was
payable about Sl3, 200, 600.
This is a very fruitful source of revenue to the
nation. Virginia has for considerable time
surpassed any other State in the production Of
this commodity. She is destined to eclipse her
former or present reputation in this particular,
and will walk forth with her sisters in growth
and development, at least so We trust.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ALMSHoUsE.
To the Grand Jurors Of the December Term of the
Circuit Court for Baltimore County:

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ALMSHoUSE
To the Grand Jurors Of the December Term of thu
Circuit Court for Baltimore County:
The Committee of your Honorable Body ap-
pointed to report upon the condition of the
Aims House and the adjoining property, would
respectfully state: That they find from informa.
ton obtained that there are at present in that
institution 80 white male paupers, colored
male do, Il female white do, and IL colored
female do, making total of SO. During the
past year there have been Is deaths-12 white
and colored. Born in the institution during
the year 3.
They would state, they have found every
thing in the most perfect arrangement and
order possible, and Mr.. Cole, so far as the
miserable condition of the buildings would
permit, has provided for the comfort and health
Of the inmates. Indeed, we are convinced there
could be no more efficient manager of the in
sttution than Mr.. Cole.
To DR.. Ewing, the Physician, great credit is
due for the amelioration of the condition of the
health of the poor creatures confined therein.
The condition of the buildings themselves is
wretched; everything appears to be in urgent
need of repair, without which the county will
have mass of untenantable ruins upon their
hands. Indeed your committee would state
from what they heard, that the general opinion
from $4,000 to $1,000 cash per acre, would be
most desirable for the interests of the county
in view of the large amount of non-interes
paying property lying useless so far as the
countys interest is concerned; at the same
time preventing the spread of Improvement:
in the neighborhood The general opinion
seems to be that the county should procure
farm lying some distance from the city and
erect thereon buildings suitable for the accom-.
mod al ion If the SIM nurn har Of ooxx
confined in the immense range of delapidated
buildings, called by apology, an Almshouse
The Baltimore, Calverton and Powhattan Pas
senger Railway, now nearly constructed, will
be ofimmense benefit to the property, and will
bring much of it binding thereon, directly in
the market.
Your Committee but briefly refer to the adj
vantages which would result TO the county from
a sale of the said property, and the retiring Of
the county bonds with the money obtained
therefrom, as well as the surplus which might
be proftably invested in the interest of tax
payers.
AS it stands at present it is amoney consum.
ing speculation so far as the property itself is
concerned and mass of ruins instead of q
well arranged Almshouse, so far as the build
ings are concerned.
With the sale of the property great bone Of
contention will be removed, viz the removal
of the Court House, and that good feeling will
be continued between citizens of different sec.
tions of the county, which is so necessary for
its prosperity and welfare.
Respectfully,

THE CONFERENCE OF THE PowERs.-The confer
enee Of the great powers of Europe will meet in
London during January for the purpose of set
Ting the question that has lately been seriously
agitaied by the Gar of Russia, and which if set
tied in accordance with the wish of the Gar will
interfere materially with the rights and domin-
ion of the Sultan. According to the treaty of
1856, about the construction of which the Gear
is making the trouble, the five great powers,
Russia, Prussia, Austria, France and England
were entitled to voice in the settlement of any
difficulties that should arise in the premises
The conference was called, but Jules Favre re-
fused to enter the conference unless the other ma
tons recognized the existence of Republic in
France. This they refused to do. Then the con-
ference will meet and settle the affairs of Europe
without consulting the whim or the wish offated
France. We take it that this is a severe blow
at the pride ola nation that has had say in the
political affairs of Europe for more than three
hundred years. She is no longer dominant,
when they do not care 10 consult her. Favre
would have had the benefit of quasi recogni-
lion of the Republic had he entered the conference
without raising the question of recognition. He
expected to defer the matter by his course, but
the other powers disregarded bis wishes.

Monday the 10th inst. As we announced last
week, the commission is composed of the Hon.
Benz. +. Wade, Hon. Andrew B. White Presi-
dent of Cornell College and DR.. Samuel Howe OF
Massachusetts. c. c.. Fulton of the Baltimore
american accompanies the commission on their
visit of investigation. The subject Enumeration
is one that is agitating society very much at this
time. 1t furnishes topics for Congressional and
Senatorial argumentative combats 1t is theme
prolific in the furnishing of matter for newspaper
columns. 1t now engages the attention of the
politician, the statesman, the preachers in,some
localities, and the women's Rights Societies. -
1t seriously threatened to fix great gulf be-
tween Senator Sumner and President Grant
But the commission is one so competent for the
task and so universally satisfactory to the great
mass of the people, and the selection Of DR..
Howe is so gratifying to Mr.. Sumner and Eastern
men generally that the gap promises to close up
without serious injury to either the President or
Senator Sumner.

THE FRANKING PRIvILEGE.-We have been OF
the opinion that our Senate is composed of brave
men. We are not disposed to believe otherwise
We shall hold fast to our faith upon this point.
But we fear they are inexcusably derelict in the
discharge of their duties in not taking up and
passing with a commendabe despatch the bill
abolishing the frankiDg privilege More than a
month has passed since the House finished their
part of the work. Yet the Senate effects sheer
Indifference to the affair, seemingly so at least.
II is quite time this expensive nuisance, this
public piece Of machinery by which political
documents are sown broadcast over the land at
the expense of the nation during all campaigns,
was abolished, and the national treasury relieved
from the heavy drain that is annually placed up
on it by this species of outrage. When Congress
men can turn their frank into species of circu-
lating accommodation for an unlimited number OF
friends and political operators, the affair should
be abolished that the entire train OF its abuses
may die with it. Come up to your work like
