s- Workingmen's organizations in different
sections of the State are growing rapidly and
meetings have been held in several counties look
ing to nominations for county Offices The first
victory for the laboring men occurred in Cumber-
land last week when one of their number, to the
great surprise of nearly everybody, was elected
to the City Council over two opponents,

rs Thomas Donaldson, Esq, eminent and
highly respected member of the Baltimore Bar
died at his residence, in Howard county, on Thurs
day afternoon, 4th inst, in the 63d year of his
age Mr.. Donaldson was several times a mem
Der of the Legislature and a member of the
Constitutional Convention in 1851. In 1875 he
was spoken of as the Reform candidate for Gov
ernor of Maryland, but declined the honor.

re- John I. Yellott-the mouth-piece of VIM.
NJ. Isaac-in his speech at Gainesville, tried to
smooth over that little affair of the HeralPs in
saying that the levy for 1877 was amply sufficient
for all purposes, when few weeks afterwards, the
same paper-.tor political efect-swalowed its
own words and announced that just the reverse
was the case. The subterfuge is little too thin,
Mr.. Yellott. 1t won't go down with the people.

rs Everything is going well for the Work
ingmens and Peoples Independent ticket. We
hear the most encouraging reports from different
sections of the county, and, the ticket present
ed is good one the people are rapidly coming
to its support. Leave no stone unturned to aid
in its election. Owing to our limited space this
week we are unable to give an extended notice of
each of the candidates. This, however, we hope
to be able to do in our next issue.

G8-In his speech at Gainesville John I. Yelott
talked very fippantly of the potato bugs" as the
members of the Reform party were called in 1875.
1t is plain that Mr.. Yellott had better opinion
of those "bugs" then than he has now. If we de-
sired to do so we might tell why it was that Mr..
YeIIOtt was not nominated for States Attorney of
Baltimore county by those same much despised
-'potatO bugs" but we forbear. WeknoU theredsoR,
and we can and will make it public if he desires
to have us do so. 1t would be more to his credit
if he made no allnsiOn whatever to the Reformers
Of 1875.

To the People oftBahimore County:
William M. Isaac and John /. Yellott have pre-
pared and published a garbled and inaccurate
statement of the finances of this county, which is
evidently intended to mislead the public. This
statement is signed by John I. Yellott Edw. w.

Pole, but we are informed by those having charge
of the books in this and the Treasurers office, that
one has examined the books to make this state
ment except William NJ. Isaac and John /. Vel
lott, and the other gentlemen who signed it evil
IDENTIFY knew nothing of its contents except what
they were told by Messrs. Isaac and Yelott. We
therefore deem it but simple justice to the people
and ourselves correct the false impressions which
their publication is calculated to make. They say,
First, "That the present Commissioners and
their advisers had not the requisite business quail
ifcatiOns to correctly estimate the necessary
amount of money to pay expenses for the current
year" or -a. ~.
Second, "They intended to mislead the people"
In answer to the first charge we give the follow
ing statement of the amounts levied for 1876 and
1877, together with the amount expended on each
levy and rely upon our intercourse with fell
low-citizens, as public men, and our private lives,
in answer to the imputatiOn that would Gin
tentionally mislead the people:'
There was levied for all purposes for the year
1876, S276, 10000, and there expended on this
levy, $2S2,SS9.43. There is included in the ex-
penditures of this year $1,000 required to COM
plete the assessment by reason of the time of As
SCISSORS and Board of Review being extended by
the Governor, and not anticipated at the time of
making the levy.

5~ Our friend of the Journal does not deny
that one of his candidates for the Legislature
wants to go to Annapolis to secure the passage of
an act to allow the laying of an oil pipe line
through Baltimore and other counties of Mary
land. And we are not finding fault with the pro-
jected enterprise. We simply think that man
who has no higher aim in being elected to the
Legislature than to secure the passage of a law
'ohieh wiU largely benefit himself only, ought to be
elected to stay at home. If elected it is his duty
to go there to help frame laws for the benefit of
his constituents, and not solely to to legisla
ton in his own individual interest. That's the
point we desire to make.

Leaving a balance for expenditures for
the remainder of the present year off, 90
which deem amply sufficient.
1t is claimed by this committee that we have al
ready expended for roads and bridges more than
the amount levied for that purpose. The facts are
we levied for roads and bridges S69,Sl9, and we
have expended for the same, under the levy for
the present year, $53,91S. helaw requires three
fourths Of the iery for roads and bridges to be
pended before October LIST, and while more than
-fourths of the road and bridge fund has been
expended we are authorized by the Act of Assem-
bly, to borrow $4,000 for roads and bridges to
meet the requirements of the county for that pur-
pose. That there have been extraordinary Gre
quirements" this year none can doubt, as the
bridges, in many instances, erected within few
years, from faulty construction defective mate
rails, have either fallen down or become dangerous
and we have been obliged to rebuild many at great
cost and to repair many others for the convent
ence of the travelling public and to protect the
county from suits for accidents, as in the case of
Baker Us. the Commissioners, in which the county
was obliged to pay $4,000 damages, including in
terest and costs. -......
Much stress is laid upon the amount levied for
insolvent and erroneous assessments with the evil
ident intention of misleading the public They
state that off past experience in the Commission
ers office is any guide for the present. the amount
realty required for that purpose VIII reach fully
$30,000." We have taken considerable trouble to
examine this account, the result of which, as
shown by the books in the Treasurer's and Com
missioners' offices, is as follows: For the ten
years Immediately preceding this there has been
charged to this account an aggregate of S6,OSl65,
or an average of $6OS.l6! per annum, yet this
committee endeavors to ridieule us for levying
81 500 per annum, which is more than double the
average amount expended in ten years, because, as
they state, give isolated Attachments amount to
aggregate of 1914, 49," This is readily explain
ed: When the Board Of Control and Review re-
turned the assessment books to this Office, only a
few days before the levy was required by law to
be made, on the basis of this assessment, no hui
man foresight or ingenuity could have suggested
such palpable errors and omissions were after
wards discovered in their returns. These errors
are illustrated by the following, taken from the
assessment books returned to this Board by the
Board of Control and Review:
