Died, in Baltimore, on Tuesday evening, the
21st inst, the Rev. FRANCIS R. HANSON,
Rector of st. Andrews Church, Macon, Di0-
cese of Alabama.
Mr.. H., who was native of this county, was
a very faithful and highly esteemed Clergyman
of the Episcopal Church. He represented the
Diocese of Alabama for several General Con-
ventions, and his Judgment, wherever he was
known, was very much respected. Only about
excellent sermon at ST. Paul's Chapel, Piney,
and it was noticed when he read the hymn,
Nearer my God to Thee that he was so
greatly affected as hardly to be able to finish it.

right, for the end of that man is peace"

How very consls.en. They Ares.


Radical preaching, or resolutions, and
Radical practice, are two totally different
and inconsistent things. They resolve that
they are ssanxious the resentments of the
past should be buried, y and that they will
welcome return of that good feeling
which will enable the people to judge of
sthe measures policy and candidates OF
political parties according to their merits. :
Some of their speakers though, white and
eolored, who aided imposing this resolu-
tion. have been recalling old and forgotten
political issues; and in doing 50 they have
not only sought to revive the resentments
of the past, but they have appealed to the
passions and worst prejudices of their col
ored hearersi Is this consistency Is il
wiseg .As you sow SO you "shall reap
says an old proverb.

.Registers-Take Notice.

We earnestly request that the Registers
throughout the county send their Correct
ed LISTS to the printer as soon as possible, SC
that it may be put in type and distributed
before the election Only send those names
PIT on and taken off October 9th and 2Sth
and they will be put in the proper alpha
betical order, and such as have been strick
en- off will be carefully compared with the
September lists, and erased by the printer
according to copy sent. This will save 6
great deal of time and1abor, as well as faci
litate the distribution Of the lists (Which
gives so little time) before the election.

Democrats BE United and Act1vei:
We can carry this county this fall, as we
have done, if our friends will be united,
active and vigilant. The masses of our
people are true to their origin, their histo-
ry, and their institutions They are not
seduced from the support of their princi-
pies by hopes of office or party spoils; nor
are they swerved from their consistency
by the idle and baseless clamor of ''ring, =
rule, or false and Pedagogical appeals to
their social prejudices. As in old party
days they rallied, despite former political
differences, around that party which stood
up as the bulwark against religious pro-
scription; as in later days, in the face OF
political prescription, and personal risk,
they supported it as the only opponent OF
sectional aggressions, and Federal usurpa-
tions and expressions; SO will they now
maintain its organization, as the only hope
ofpreserving our Constitution, of retain
ing the government of the State, and their
local affairs, in their own hands, and of
restoring our ruined people to prosperity.
Accessions to Radicalism from such peo-
pie have been few, and far apart; and the
number of those who support them in this
campaign, claiming to be Independent
Democrats, is still smaller. We believe
that the loss of the former will be more
than balanced by the votes of those color
ed men, who have become enlightened
enough to find out that they are being
used as mere tools, and voting machines
shy the Radicals, under speeious sbut ic-
sitious claim of gratitude; and who viii
hereafter vote as they please, as 'ffeemen.
The independents, we trust, viii in time
see. their aistaken position, and get out Of
1t. Be that as it may, our friends can sue
eeed if they will. Let every man feel il
his duty to do his part See that all reg
ister who are entitled, and aid in purging
the lists of all who are disqualified. Let
each one feel himself committeeman to
aid in this, and in other matters incident
to the canvass. The candidates cannot do
all the work With such spirit on the
part of our people we viii foil the cunning
plans of our opponents to defeat, by divid-
ing us.

From the Maryland Republican.
STATE FINANCES.

1t having grown to be hobby not only
with the speakers but journals of the Re-
publican party, to pirate about the politi-
cal extravaganza of the Democratic party
in the management of the financial affairs
of the State of Maryland, we regard it time
that the facts in the case should be pre-
sented to the people, and thereby convince
the Republican party that they-the peo-
ple-have paid attention to the States fl
nances, by placing them in the hands of
men they knew would administer these
affairs honestly and for the best interest of
the whole people of the State of.Maryland.
Were it not for the fact that some thought
less unwary ones, who have not convent
emily the means of getting at a correct So
luton of the facts of the case as they are,
and not as the Radical journals and speak
ers throughout the State wish to present
them, for the political purposes Of their
party, we would not condescend to waste
words upon the subject. AS however so
much of repeated Misrepresentation, left
undenied and uncorrected, might be pro-
ductive of error, we will lay the truth as
shown by the reports of the Comptrollers
of the Treasury from 1864 to 1879, inclu-
sive, before the public, and leave the au-
thors and minions Of falsehood to the gen
eral contempt they SO certainly merit.
We propose to consider first the receipts
and expenditures of the State Treasury for
the last three years of Republican with
the first three years, as also the last three
years of Democratic administration of the
| fiscal affairs of the State. An examination
of the Comptroller's reports for the years
1864, 1865 and 1866 present the following
| figures:

Consistency.

Various and multitudinous are the ex-
cuses made by those who have gone over to
the Radicals. Their excuses are all con-
|sistent only in their inconsistencies. Thus
flor example we have DIR. Lancaster, who is
Tone of the nominees of the Republican
party for the House of Delegates, pro-
claiming, in all his carefully prepared
speeches from the stump, that he is an In
dependent candidate owes no allegiance
to any party; that the Democratic party
lis dead and buried. While, from the
same hustings, we hear another distin-
guished orator of the Independent school,
lproclaiming that the Democratic party
still liveth, and that he intends to vote for
Woolford and Franklin, whom he terms
1.-The State ticket whilst he will vote all
the rest of the Republican ticket, includ-
ing the Legislative ticket, which he with
very remarkable astuteness styles "the
county ticket Now this latter gentle
man attempts to be consistent in his in
consistency, because the resolutions adop-
ted at the so-caEled Independent meeting
and presented by the exceedingly clever
young man from Hughesville, proclaims
among other equally senseless trash, the
identity of those participating in said
meeting s.as Democrats" But the Legis-
lative candidate goes back on this identi-
ty, so aemphatically" declared, and repu-
dates the very power feeble tho it be)
which created him.
While on this subject we would advise
the Doctor to abandon this stale, flat and
Improbable jargon about the Democratic
party being dead. II in his wild hunt af

ter office he thinks proper to go over to
the Republican party let him at least have
the manliness to say so, as his colleague,
Mr.. Hawkins, did at Aliens Fresh the
other day-or let him hunt up some better
pretext. The Doctor is very clever man
socially, and doubtless good physician,
but he is unfit for politician, and we are
sure he would do more credit to himself
if he would stick to his pills and quinine.

~ We call attention to the article from
the Maryland Republican, headed estate

liable to the Democratic administration of

will no doubt contribute largely in secur-
ing the reelection of the present efficient
and faithful Comptroller, now before the
people as the nominee of our party.

We show this reduction notwithstand-
ing the fact that new debts contracted by
the Republican Legislatures of 1864 and
1865, to pay bounties to the extent of 3d.
Oil 1862, as also the debt of 100000, to aid
the destitute people at the South, author
lied by Act of 1867 was issued, thereby
increasing the gross debt during the years
1867, 1868 and 1869, $3,011,662, yet, we
say Notwithstanding this increase of debt,
to the extent of 3d. 1862, the debt of the
State, as exhibited Sept. 3Oth 1865, is less
by the sum of $17,801 than it was Sept.
90th, 1866, while on the other hand the
debt shown to be due Sept. 30th, 1866, is
in excess of the debt due Sept. S0th, 1868,
by the enormous sum of $2,053,099. Now
were we to credit the Democratic admin
istration with what it's actual reduction of
the debt would have been, had there been
no new stocks issued to sustain the credit

of prominent Rad-one of the stock
board-the quotation of the market for
voters. His reply was a wink and a very
significant smilei Wishing to keep the
public posted as to prices, we enquir-
ed of another person whether he knew
anything about it. He could not tell, but
he was willing to bet his "bottom dollar
that with given sum of money larger
number of democrats" could be bought
over to the Radical side, than of negroes to
the Democratic side. Can this be so? We
