Ore John Pope Hodnett, whom the WASH
j. gtOn STAR insists upon regarding in
spired lunatic, and humbug, has arrived in
Cumberland, and has been sacrificing him.
self TO the good of the working men of this
section. We have had a presentiment that
some calamity would befall Cumberland
soon, and on Wednesday evening, when we
beard a loud voice haranguiDg a crowd on
the sidewalk In front OF WeiT's hotel. we con-
cluded IL had arrived. We visited the spot
and found the aforesaid John Pope HOinett
steppiDg about, with a railroad ticket in his
Eat-band, and earnestly telling the eight or
ten working men whom ne had captured
what they should do. He said for instance
What do you care whether your President
Is republican or a demOcrar It don't do
you any good. There's 5000 600 people I'm
the United States, and only 60 900 capitalists
cor tToi them. Here's you man Walsh. that
you elected TO Congress; suppose a working
man would ask him for a hundred dollars;
bed tell him TO gOtO HI. And that's where
you ought to be, IL you vote for such men.
The wOJk king men mUSt nominate their own
President and Vice President, and they can
elect him." sc. IfHoinett is looking around
for members of Congress who are expected To
give Sl0O 10 every fellow that asks for 10, he
had better go back and call on Mr.. O'Brien,
who had whole columns of HOdnetrs non
sense published in the Congressional Record
at q cost of thousands OF dollars 10 the cOuu-
try. The WORKING men OF Allegauy do not
want any such humbugs about. Mr. STAR,
won't you please send for him. Take MIN
home, be ought never to get ont Of the shadow
OF the Capital Il CtnHbeTlO7ld CjriliGl.
OH 10, no, no. and a Thousand times OH
To- no! no. III Hodnett is headed west, by
all manner OF means let him go west. He is
product, or an adopted son of Chicago any
way. The people of Washington want him
TO go back to Chicago. Ours is rather a
quiet sedate community, and Hotnett's
talents are not appreciated here. AS for ME.
O'Brien we believe that he was rot really
responsible for the printing OF HoInett's
trash. But representative Lan!ers, of In
diana, was the gudgeOn who jumped at Hold
nett's bait, and attended bis COInmunistic
meeting at Lincoln hall, and was rewarded
by domination by Hodnett for the Presi-
dency. Then Landers introduced into Con-
gress, Hodnett's resolutions and whereaseS
demanding more money, division CT prop
trty, and the right OF suffrage in this District
or human Gore; and then the Indiana papers
took up the matter OF this display of incen-
diary demOgogueisr by Landers, and the
re. ult was that he was killed Of as a candi-
date for governor. Hodnett probably did
tie nation some service by laying out his
fellow demagOgue thus efIectualIy, but the
people OF Washington don't really care
"Gough about Landers TO tolerate the CORY
little Tappertit who Slaughtered him.

70 the Hon. Judges of the Circuit Court for Bal
tinsore county:
TIME Grand Inquest for the present term of
Court having diligently inquired into all
business brought before them, and having fn-
ished their labors, before being finally dis
charged, beg leave respectfully to offer the fol-
lowing report:
We have been in session "a days, docketed
1O1 cases, examined 267 witnesses, made 81
presentments, found 66 true bills, dismissed 80
cases and referred to the next Grand Jury.
The Grand Inquest especially desire to call
the attention of the Court as we'll as the people
of the county to the very important question Of
the condition of the county finances. publ
cation having appeared in the public prints
giving a statement which had been presented
to our representatives in the Legislature, that
the very large sum of over $l47,0O0 had been
disbursed over and above the amount levied
for the conduct OF the county government for
the past six years, and in view of this, a bill
having been presented to fund $l50,000 Of in
debtedness of the county, whilst for several
wears past the people have been led to believe
that the county indebtedness had been dis
charged and there was still the sum of at least
$780, in the Treasury to the credit of the
county, ($6S, 800 of which is now in the vaults
of the Safe Deposit Company of Baltimore, in
the shape of city steck,) determined the Grand
Inquest in justice to the people, to appoint a

every opportunity should be afforded the com

com mittee was also directed to examine anr

Grand Jury Report.

Baltimore county, on December 10Th, 1875, ap-
pointed VIM. NJ. Risteau, and subsequently ap-
pointed Samuel W. Storm, as collectors and re-
ceivers to collect the unsolicited taxes of the
lately removed collector. Since their appoint
ment they have collected and paid into the Of
fee of the Clerk Of the Circuit Court the SUM
of $4,968.57 Of county taxes, and 81 ,8O154 State
taxes, making a sum total of S6,770.11. And
whilst they are engaged in said work, we find that
the counsel to the Board of Commissioners, on
the I'd day of March, 1876, entered suit against
the bond Of the former collector for the full
amount of his uncollected taxes which the re-
ceivers, Messrs. Risteau and Storm, are now
collecting. Since the entering of said suit the
receivers have returned to the Clerks Office of
the Circuit Court $2,92l.85 county taxes, and
81, 084.21 State taxes; total 81 ,O06.O6 We wish
to call your attention to the fact that the rate
established for the collection of taxes is per
cent. By an order of Court the receivers men
toned get 10 per cent. for said collections
Your Committee can see no sufficient cause,
whilst the receivers are collecting and return
ing the monies to the Clerks Office, for said
counsel to the Commissioners to enter said suit
against the said bond, uAless it be, at some sub
sequent time, to obtain a judgment for the full
amount of due and uncelected taxes from the
date the suit was entered. By the present ar
rangement they may claim for themselves in
behalf Of bringing suit, 10 per cent. commits
sion fer the collecting, &C., in which event the
costs in bringing suit, obtaining judgment and
commissions, &C., for the collecting of the
amount of county tax left uncollected by the
late collector, amounting to $4,000, at 10 per
cent. for the receivers and the same per cent.
for the counsel, would amount to the enormous
sum of $4,000, which VIC deem unjust and with
out precedent.
We take great pleasure in stating that after
| a very full, careful and laborious examination
of ali the various vouchers, &C., connected with
and appertaining to the conducting of the bus
mess Of the County Commissioners and Treas
urer's offices, that the enclosed report is full
careful, and bona file exhibit of all the coun-
tvs resources, liabilities, expenditures and as
| sAta -.
, and courteous reception your Committee me-
with from the County Commissioners and the
valuable assistance rendered by Messrs. Geo
B. Jean and E. B. Almony, clerks in the Com
mssloners Office and R. Edwin Hook, Esq.
| in the Office Of the Clerk of the Court.

Commissioners office, and also R. Edwin Hook,
ESQ.,, in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court. Books, papers and vouchers were pre-
duced and after many days laborious search
the committee presented the following report,
which it is believed will be satisfactory to eve
ry tax payer and citizen. 1t is the first in
stance in the history of the county that bal
ance sheet has been presented giving full f.
nancial exhibit of our affairs.
In closing this report the Jury respectfully
request the Court to order the statement to be
published for the information of the people Of
the county. And they also recommend that
en- order be passed, requesting the County Com
missoners to enter the report of the Aims
House fund upon their journal of proceedings,
to the end that there may be public record of
it and thus relieve the special care of vouchers,

law. The county has made ample provision
fer all her poor, viz, at "Upland Home" (the
county aims house,) where they can be sup
ported or kept at much less expense than in
the county Jail. Further, when your Com lit

REHABILITATION

amount for the year 1872, of$7l ,296 IS, is large
" in excess of other years from the fact that
under n act Of the Legislature of 1870, mort
cages were exempted from taxation, and frem
the assessment books it was impossible to de
duct the amount previous TO making the levy.
This large amount was carried by the late
Board of Commissioners, in the hope that it
would be discharged by the payment of taxes
in arrear. In 1875 however, the Commission
ers added 10 the Contingent Fund 5 cents on
the $4,000 to cover the amount, still remain
ing unpaid.
