HAS THERE BEEN "CRIMrNALITY p
The late Grand Jury, in its report to the Court
uses this language

The late 6rand jury, In Its report TO the Court
uses this language
COMMITTEES of our body have been ard6ously
engaged in the examination of matters connected
with the recent report of the Auditors of the county,
and they find that so far as they have been able
to examine, rery Craze and serious instances Of Of
fetal ineGpdcity and ignorance preUailing for
years the administration of the office Of County
Commissioners. Business has been conducted an
that office cith lOOseness and negligence that makes
Il difficult determine toithOUt legal proceedings
against some of the officers whGt amount of crimi
nGlity, if any, is to be attached to those having
supervision of its affairs. As suits have already
been instituted against some the result of which
will determine the extent of the criminality or
malfeasance deem it unnecessary to prolong
the session of our body" &c.
Let it be understood that the language above
refers only precious administrations, and not to
the present one. The Committee made its report
from the report of the Auditors, which extends
from Dec. LIST, 1857, to Dec 1st 1875, the date of
the incoming of the present Board.
This report is made by the Grand Jury-t'oenty
out of the tlceaty-three of 'ohOm Democrats-
UNDER OATH. John l. Yellott, in his harangue at
Gainesville, said there was no "looseness," no
negligence" no "criminaity," and that there was
no every grave and serious instances of official in
capacity and ignorance" He did not tell his
hearers that "suits have already been instituted
against some, the result of which will determine
the amount of criminality and malfeasance."-
These things are told by the Grand Jury, under
oath, while John 1. YeIlott made his statement to
deceive the people and to catch votes for himself
and the balance of the ring ticket. Whom will
you believe, the Grand Jury or Mr.. Yelott?

WAS AN UNNATURALIZED CITIZEN at the
time of his nomination for that Office, but has since
viz, on the I'd day of 0ctober-obtained his
naturalization papers from the U. S. District Court
at Baltimore. The question is if Mr. Millender
had not been nominated for an Office would he ever
have applied for naturalization? He had been
voting for years but did not discover that it was
illegal until he wanted an ofice-then, and not un-
til then, does he become citizen of the United

MSNJOHN I. YELLOTT and WIN. M. ISAAC,
the principal ring bosses in this county, will no
doubt attempt this week to deny the statement of
the County Commissioners published by us last
week. Of course they feel obliged to do some
thing to bolster up their grossly untruthful report
of the condition of the cOunty's finances, and we
expect the next document win far out-strip the
first one in "doctored" and false statements But
the people have their eyes pretty well opened now
and they intend to keep them directed towards
Mr.. Yellot and Mr.. Isaac. They (the people, are
becoming little too shrewd to be gulled any long

Gg~In the past two years the taxes of the peo-
pie of Baltimore county have been reduced very
largely, and this may be said to the credit Of
Messrs. Hunter, COrse and CrOwther. Do proper
ty owners desire to see their taxes still further re-
duced? If they do they must vote for Robert s.
Corse, James Miller and Joshua F. Benson. The
present Commissioners say that taxes will be lower
next year while the Democrats promise in GdUance
to increase them If you want to pay more money

The present County Commissioners, on the contra
ry, say that the taxes can be reduced, and we are
confident that4f Messrs. Corse, Miller and Benson
are elected Commissioners reduction of taxes will
follow. If the Commissioners in the past two
years have been able, under the many untOward
circumstances, to reduce the taxes of the people,
what may we expect when the financial condition
of the county is as healthy as it is today Ger
tainly we may look for continued reduction.
