State Finance.

Mr.. Creswell, in his harangue on Tues :
day, had much to say Of the financial con.
dition of the State, aud OndeayOred to
show Democratic extravaganza and mis-
management. Comptroller Heating made
a speech at Annapolis on Monday night
in which he, too, had something to say
about how the finances were collected and
discussed He has been Comptroller Of
the Treasury for number Of years aud
ought to know as much about the affairs
Of that department as Mr.. Creswell. In
his Annapolis speech he is reported as
follows:
"Hon. Thos. j. Heating spoke Of national
and State topics and indicated the State an.
thorities from the charges made by Republi.
can orators. Out Of thirty eight States in
this Onion there are "a States where the
rate Of taxation is higher than Maryland Oh
the State tax Of 1Sa cents 10 cents were for
public schools, 81 for bounties imposed By
Republicans, which have cost the State eight
millions. This leaves 81 cents--l Of cent
for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, cent fol
the Insane Asylum, the remaining u cents tc
pay the interest on the State relief loan.
Mr.. Jones, Of Cecil, said down in Caroline
the Democracy in 1870 increased the debt o.
the Stale by $5,000,000 forgetfnl that thi,
increase was to provide the money to pay the
bonnties under Republican legislation. TIL,

were $4,000, 900 Of assets and the finances

Democratic Circus.

The Democratic Circus exhibits its rare at
fractions ut all the Cross Roads in the county.
Principal Peformers- Carpet baggers not
entitled to vote.
Principal Topic of Discussion-Taxes which
hardly any Of the performers ray.
Side Shows-The Goddess of Liberty in
aames-from cigar.
Grant strangling the Republican your
mind.
Tilden being inaugurated at the point of
the bayonet--in thorn.
Admitianee to all the entertainments free.
The above is from the Sentinel Now
if that journal could furnish clown from
among its contributors no doubt the enter
tainment would be better. A clown is all
that is lacking, aud perhaps the writer of
the above could take that role with sue
cess.
The principal performers arc carpet
baggers not entitled TO vote, says the
Sen.iaei This is not only not true but is
unjust There is one Democratic speaker
who is not entitled to vote, because he
lacks few months residence, but is GER
tainly more entitled to advocate his prin-
ciples here than is Blaine and others an
uounced 10 speak in Maryland, who do
not live here and do not expect to come.
As to the topic of discussion, taxes, one,
at least, Of the Democratic performers,
pays more tases than all he Sentinel con-
tyiJuto's combined, and the others pay
about as much as the average Radical.

More FalsehoOds Exposed.

Those who heard the Radical orators on
Tuesday will recollect how they endeayor-
ed to show that Mr.. Hamilton was but a
tool, and how he had made bargains re-
gardlng the Governorship and the U. s.
SeDatorship. At Port Tobacco, on Tues
day, while these falsehoods were being
uttered here, Mr.. Hamilton was denounc-
ing them. A report of his speech says:
He denied in an emphatic manner the allie
CATION Of Mr.. Gary that he had made com
bination TO become United States Senator
and another gentleman to be governor. He
said that he had denied the falsehood at Cam
bridge rs now, as he had read it in the papers
and had denied it at every meeting since.
He was surprised that Mr.. Gary had not seen
his denial. He read the report Of his Cam.
bridge speech in the Baltimore Gazette to
show that he had answered the allegation in
the clearest manner.

Radical Assertions.


The Radical party in this eounty, in
their effort to obtain Office, have used all
the arguments at their command. Not
arguments, either, but assertions. They
assert. as one reason why they should be
put in power, that they could conduct the
affairs Of the county at a saving Of SO, 600
per year They promised in one issue Of
the Sentinel 10 show how they could do il,
but the effort ended only in assertion.
That wont do for the people. They tried
the Radical party for awhile, and they in
creased the annual appropriations SO rap
idly and continuously that the party was
asked to step out. They have tried the
Democratic party for twelve years, and
win try it for twelve years more, unless
the Radicals can show, not assert, that
they are more economical party. Their
record here and throughout the Union is
not a good one for economy.

Close Up the Ranks.

The time for action is approaching.
Democrats, close up ranks and stand firm.
let not man be cut on account Of per-
scnal antagonism, petty Jealousy or spite.
Men are not in the issue; Democratic prin-
ciples are alone to be considered. Upon
their supremacy depends good government,
free elections, free ballot, and the right Of
the people to govern themselves. The
Republican party are opposed to all these.
They demonstrated it when they were in
power IN Maryland, aud again but few
months ago at Washington, when the Re-
publican minority 10 Congress, backed by
fraudulent President, defeated bills to
keep federal soldiers away from the polls
to do away with an army of federal super
visors, deputy marshals, &c Their record
shows that they design making this govern
ment consolidated one, the states TO have
only such rights as the Radical party see
proper to grant

Mr.. HOOPER NOT WANTED.
LATROBE'S MAJORITY $3.50.
GARY's DEFEAT NEXT IN ORDER,
Maryland will give Hamilton 5000 Majority.

Baltimore held an election on Wednes-
day for city officers Hon. Ferdinand O.
Latrobc was the Democratic nominee for
Mayor, and Mr.. VIM. J. Hooper the Radi
cal. In several wards independent Demo
Gratis were candidates for City Council, aud
consequently three Radicals were elected
two to the first branch aud one to the sec
ond. The Council win stand-Filst branch
Democrats is, Radicals q Second branch
Democrats 8, Radicals l. The vote was
10000 short, yet the Democratic majority
was within a fraction of 6,0O0, and Balti
more may be counted upon for 10, 900 for
Hamilton on the 4th of November. Last
year Mr.. Latrobe had no opposition, but
when he first ran in 1875 his majority was
but 2,765.
OF the election, the San Of Thursday
says:
II is gratifying TO note that the municipal
Ntt1tlbu NOuuuIttu III way
which viii leave no room for cayil in regard
to the fairness Of the result. There was no
disturbance, no disorder, no interference with
the the rights Of voters, and no doubt but that
the judges Of the election, as well as the po-
lice, performed their respective duties with
entire fidelity. II is apparent that large
number Of qualified voters, for reasons best
known to themselves, stayed at home yester-
day, and did not participate in the election.
1t is not probable, however, that the defeated
candidates in yesterdays election can draw
much consolation from this fact. The re-
markably vigorous canvass made by the re-
publicans would justify the inference that of
the stay at home voters a majority must have
belonged 10 the successful and still dominant
party. Had the vote been larger, therefore,
1t is pretty certain that the net result would
not have been different. For the benefit of
the advocates Of federal supervision over cleo
tons and of deputy marshals and the privil-
ege OF United States troops at the polls, il
may be further noted that yesterdays election
was held without any ofthese supposed neces-
sary guarantees Of fair and free election.
Yet the election was as fair and free as all
the power Of the United States could have
made it. The rights Of every class of voters
we're abundantly protected, and the ability of
the State authorities to perform their duty
without federal help or supervision was as
abundantly vindicated.

Marrland,s Credit.


The Radical party Of Maryland, in their
zeal to obtain ofiee---for Office is what all
their twaddle meaps--are doing an injury
70 the credit Of the.State beyond its Dor
ders. They are charging Encouragement
and reckless extravaganza, which tends to
destroy our credit, for their speeches and
publications are caught up by the press
elsewhere and given circulation. Toeoun-
terbalance this mistaken idea, the Balti-
more Sna Of Saturday publishes circu-
lar recently issued by John A. HambletOn
a Co., bankers Of Baltimore. That circu-
lar says MaryIand's loans are looked upon
as being the most desirable investments
and are sought after at very high prem
ium; that her credit is not exeelled by any
State ia the Union; that the State tax il
less than any State in the Union except
three. &c.

"TAe Wicked Flee When No Man Pursusth."

The above quotation from scripture came
foreibly to the minds Of all, when they
read in the Sentinel two weeks ago de-
fence Of Mr.. David Rinehart, the Repub-
lican candidate for Senate. About one
third OF column was devoted to his per-
formances when a member of the Legisla-
ture from Frederick county, in 1864. The
Legislature-nearly all Black Republi-
cans-voted themselves extra pay of $500
each, Mr.. Rinehart voting against it, and
refused, after the resolution had passed, to
keep his portion. That was ccmmenda-
bic, but is that all Of his record? 10 the
proceedings Of the House of Delegates, at
the extra session of 1866, on pages 1906,
we find that resolution was introduced
protesting against the granting Of suffrage
to the negroes Of the District of Columbia,
and expressing the hope that Congress
and the President would "refraiu from
enaeting so odious law" This was sew
eral years before the ratification Of the
18th amendment to the constitution, and
VIC fnd in the proceedings of the journal,
page 1856, Mr.. Rinehart 'moved that
the resolution be laid upon the table.
The motion prevailed, Mr. Rinehart voting
in the affirmative Was it the same Mr..
Rinehart who is now the Republican can
didate for the Sesate -?
We find, also, in looking over the
names, that Mr.. Angel voted against
the resolutions. Was it the Mr. John w,
Angel who is now a candidate on the Re-
publican ticket for the House of Delegates?
These men, then, were favorable to ne
gro suffrage three or four years before the
right was conferred upon the colored man
by the constitution.

Rinshart and Angel.

AT tue extra session Of the Maryland
Legislature, in 1866, the following resOlu-
ton was introduced. a
Resolred, That our Representatives be re-
quested, and our Senators instructed, to use
their efforts to prevent the extension Of the
jurisdiction Of the Preedmen's Bureau TO Ma
rylard; and that the Clerk Of this House send
each ofthem copy Of these resolutions.
Mr.. Rinehart, the Republican candidate
for the Senate, moved to lay the resolu-
tionS on the table. The motion was car
ried, Mr.. Rinehart, and Mr. John W.
Angel, Republican candidate for the
House Of Delegates, voting 10 the affirma.
tive.
We all remember how obnoxious and
meddlesome was this Freedmen's Bureau
how, upon the smallest whisper from !
eolorcd man, white men we're dragged from
their homes TO answer groundless charges
how the smallest difficulty or dispute be
tween whites aud blacks was magni6ed
into acts Of violence aud oppression, and
the whites invariably censured, fined ana
Imprisoned, &C., lie. Messrs. Rinehart
and Angel would not protest against the
introduction Of the Bureau into Maryland
and were, to great extent, responsible fol
all is expressions and unlawful acts.

Argument having failed the Radical
party, ii has lost its temper aud INDUCES
in abuse. The Sentiiel has charged a
former board &c county commissioner
Mordecai G. McKinstry, John W Murray
and John o. Devries-with f;slsehood and
perjury for partisan purposes, and cast
destinations upon the present board Of
commissioners, Col. John X. honeywell and
other honorable gentlemen. Not only this,
it sought to cast approbrium upon the
Democratic speakers BY asserting that they
are earpet-baggers, who pay no taxes and
are not entitled to vote They class as
pet.baggers every one who was not born
aud raised in the territory now comprised
ia Carroll county, aud under this head
comes their candidate for Senate and the
editor Of the Sentinel, They forgot they
were living in glass houses. II slipped
their memory in their haste and temper to
abuse the Democratic party.
All this abuse has not been in the Ra-
deal organ. This and much more has
been told in private about this city and to
the fartherest parts Of the county. For
their facts some Of the over.zealous Radi-
Gals have been drawing upon their imugi-
nations solely. The records in the court
house on the tax question, give the stamp
of falsehood to some Of their assertions.
The records there, too, show to the con-
trary Of many of the stories set aaoat by
members Of the Radical party.
This mode of campaigning should be
scorned by hir-dealiug men. 1t can add
nothing to the prospects Of the party, and
must recoil to their disadvantage when the
facts come out, as they have in some in-
stances 1t is also calculated 10 eugender
bad feeling, when there should be nome
A comparison Of party records and a dis
eussion of party principles is fair, legiti-
mate and honorable, but a campaign be-
comes deiestible when it degenerates into
personalities This is now what the Ra-
deal party is doing in Carroll. Honor
able men Of means, above reproach, are
being held up as earpet-baggers, paupers,
perurers, aud charged with au extrava-
gance but little less than stealing.
This mode Of warfare should be rebuked,
by the people, Such campaigning should
cement the Democratic party and many Of
the Republican into a solid phalanx to
condemn By their ballots the wholesale and
groundless charges against honorable men.
If this kind Of electioneering is permitted
no gentleman viii be safe, aud difficulty
will be experienced in securing efficient
and competent persons to stand for Office.

NJ. shower a.a The 18th Amendment.


The right Of suffrage was conferred
upon The eOlored man BY the 18th amend,
ment to the constitution Of the United
States. That amendment received the
two-thIrds vote Of both houses Of Congress
aud was ratified by the Legislatures Of
three lourths Of the States, in accordance
with the 9th article Of the constitution,
which prescribcs the manner 10 which tho
constitution may be amended. II was a
Radical measure throughout, aud was rat
lied in an arbitrary manner, the States
lately in rebellion being required to endorse
the amendment as necessary prerequisite
to admittan % to the Union. The Legis-
latures Of all the Southern States at the
time were elected when nearly all the
whites were disffanehised, and by the aid
Of federal bayonets. But might made
right 10 those days, aud the 18th amend
ment, comforting the right of suffrage on
the colored man, was ratified according to
the forms Of law aud proclaimed as a part
Of the fundamental law Of the land. Next
in order was the changing Of State consti-
tutions to conform to the National consti
tuition, au act obligatory upon every State.
The Maryland Legislature refused to ratify
the amendment, but after il was law she
was in duty, and by law, bound to conform
to its requirements. Her Legislature,
Democratic at the time, struck the word
white from her constitution, and Mr.. Geo
A. Shower, the Democratic candidate for
Sheriff, was member Of that Legislature.

This would leave s3,79SO4. Then
again we must deduct s1,Ol9 for salaries
of the steward, matron, maid, physician,
fireman aud farm hands, which would
leave s2,779.04 as the actual cost for
maintaining the paupers and the board for
the steward, his family and those employed
at the institution. If the Sentinel will
figure out this statement, it will find that
Carroll county maintains its unfortunates

Disastrous Flood in Spain.

rivers Mundo and Seguera and flooded the
populous and fertile valley. The cities Of
Lorca, Orihuela, Murcia and CreyiIlente and
a large number Of villages between Murcia,
Alicante and. Carlagena were more or less
injured. The rivers suddenly rose several
yards during the night and the inhabitants
were compelled 70 6y without saving any
property. The streams are covered with
wrecks OF farm houses, agricultural imple-
menls, dead cattle and some human corpses
Soldiers and marines have been sent by train
