TO be collected to meet the demands on the Trea.
sury of Baltimore county for the year 1876. 1t
is a very interesting paper to the taxpayers Of
the county, and in fact to every one who enter.
tainS desire for the proper development Of coun.
ty interests and prudent management of our To-
cal affairs.
The full amount of taxes TO be collected for the
year-upoa basis of SAT 500, OOo-is SAL, S3l.-
90-$33l, $4,000 for county expenses and $S4,-
800. 80 for State purposes. The levy for county
purposes is made at the rate of 20 cents on every
hundred dollars worth of assessable property,
and the levy for State purposes is at the rate of
20 5-l6 cents upon every hundred dollars worth
of property-making an aggregate assessment Of
80 sic cents upon every hundred dollars worth
of assessable property. The ''pOlice force' takes
an item of $l3, 900 and the laying out Of streets
in the county an item of SIS, 900.
1t will not be long before the County Commits
soners will issue the statement Of the county
expenses for the year 1874. We beg permission
to make one or two suggestions in connection
Un0AS"Aeh' wv n"'O he4uouuy hSaIu INC CoLn'
plant that the manner giving the statement Of
the county expenses was very unsatisfactory
This is so because it only shows the expenditures
that are made. What the people desire to see is
full and complete, regular, systematic, book
keeping account exhibited for their inspection
and information. To do this the balance of taxes,
if any, that remained in the Treasury at the end
of the fiscal year 1873, should be given. Then
should be stated the amount of taxes levied for
the expenses of 1874. Following this should
come the amount of the taxes so "leved" that
were eollected-the amounts returned erroneous
and the amounts remaining uncollected. All
moneys that have come into the Treasury from
the imposition of fines, forfetures of recognizan-
ces, or made out Of defauting collectors or their
bondsmen, and all amounts received from any
other source should be itemized in the statement
When this is done on one side of the sheet the
expenses can be arrayed on the other side and a
balance can be struck showing what amour. re-
mains liz the Treasury. A statement of this sort
will be far more satisfactory to the people and
will prevent unjust criticisms from being pro-
nounced upon the Commissioners. We believe
that this much the Commissioners owe TO them
| selves

Ms- An era of good sense reigns in our
neighboring town Of Westminster. On Mon
day of this week an election was held there for
Mayor and Common Council. The Democrats
and Republicans reasoned together and made
the selection of ticket that was satisfactory
to both sides and elected it, having but that
one before the people. Both sides deserve a

UNwIsE GRANGE LEGISLATION IN WISCONSIN,
The mechanics, laborers, traders and profession
al men in the country towns of Wisconsin are &C.
quiring conviction that the Changers secret
and exclusive order is hostile to their interests,
that it is organized for their injury, and that the
class legislation and business dealings which it
encourages are hurtful to them The Milwaukee
Ness, friend to the Grangers thinks there
ought not to be any cause for this state of things
but adds:
at is almost certain that the injury has been
| done by reckless Granger fanatics who are not
imbued with the true spirit of the order, but who
are communists simply, like the dark-lantern
caucus members of the last Legislature Such
wise and moderate Changers as are best known
in the State those who are the real leaders and
chiefs of the order, and the great body of their
followers, are not communists and destructionists
1t is only extreme, thoughtless and irresponsible
men, whose rabid talk, socialistic gasconade and
agrarian sentimentality have created distrust of
the Grange and its objects in the minds of other
classes of the people. The fear which exists in
the minds of sagaclOus aud thinking men-that
the excuses of some imprude1t Changers, and Of
the reckless demagogues who purport to repre-
sent the grange element-wil set class against
class and estrange popular interests which ought
to be closely connected, will have an effect in has
tening the decadence of the Granger business
which its best friends now admit has begun
The good must suffer for the absurdities and
errors of the bad. 1t is not to be denied that the
outrageous action Of the last Legislature, which
was planned and laid out in dark-lantern eau
Gus Of bogus Changers, and which inflicted so in
furious blow on the credit and best Interests of
the State, reacted quite disasirously upon the
Grange as an order in Wisconsin,
