SURVEYOR.
JAMES L. BRAWNER.
Our state Finances.

We devote considerable portion of oul
space this week to republication of the
statistical statement of Messrs. Keaing
and Compton, the treasury officers, in re-
Spouse to the charges of financial misman
agement, made by Gov. Hamilton some
time ago. We published this statement
together with Mr.. Hamilton's accusations
in the TIMES of June 18th last. AS We
said at that time, we regard the statement
as complete and satisfactory refutation
of Mr.. Hamilton's charges; and, as he has
never since ventured to make any further
response, we have regarded this question
as effectually and finally set at rest. 1t
seems, however, that some of those who
were behind the Governor in his move
ment, and who urged him to his attitude
of hostility to the Democratic party, are
not disposed to follow the example of his
excellency in abandoning the charges
when convinced of their emptiness. Some
of these persons actuated by an uncompro-
missing hostility to Mr.. Heating, have so
far presumed upon the effectiveness of the
popular memory, as to begin of late to re-
vive these charges. Ia view OF these facts
and lest the Republicans may endeavor ts
use these unfounded assertions for cam
paign pu' poses, we have deemed it advis-
able to lay this thorough exhibit of the
past and present financial management Of
the State again before our readers.
This accurate and exhaustive statement
will be read with interest by all tax-pay-
ers. 1t shows that the Governor in all his
charges against the management of the
State finances, was simply giving expees-
sion to unfounded suspicious, which re-
suited from lack of real information con-
corning the working of the financial de-
partment of the State government. To
the Governors credit it must be said, how
ever, that, when he found that those char
ges, like those against the registration Of
ficers, were without foundation, he had
the good sense and prudence to abandon
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1881-10-21

The document is remarkable for its ac-
curacy and conciseness of statement and
for the thorough manner in which it han
dies the subject. 1t would have been
quite sufficient for Messrs. Heating and
Compton, in order to exonerate themselves
from the burden of the Governors charges
to have shown, as they do, that the aboli
ton of the sinking fund was effected long
before either of them became connected
with the Treasury they go further, how
ever, and show that the administration of
the State government by the Democratic
party, since the Republican party were
driven from the control of the treasury in
1865, has been characterized by economy
and prudence. We commend the state
ment to the careful perusal of all taxpayers

Lawn Fete.

The Wellington Fire Company will
give a Lawn Fete in the Park Wednes-
day evening, June sth, on which occa-
sion they would respectfully ask the
patronage of the citizens.
The company is just becoming settled
in Its organization, and its object in this
is to procure funds for the purchase Of
uniforms. 1t will be obliged to ask for
some help in few directions, aud we
hope the people will respond as heartily
as they have done before. At present,
having no lady members in the company
proper, in will perhaps be obliged TO
ask considerable of them, and would re-
mind the ladies that they are perhaps
the most important element in matters
of this kind, and they will have the
company's gratitude for their help
The entertainment will consist OF
strawberries, ice cream, music and the
usual ct ceteras, with the bad dreams
following, free of charge. If the wealth
er is unfayorable it will be postponed
until the following Friday.

Rescued from Death.

The following statement of William j.
CoughIine, of Somerville, Ma S., Is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for 1t the
atteusion of our readers. He says: "In
the fall of 1876 was taken with a vio-
lent bleeding of the lungs followed by
severe cough. / soon began to lose my
appetite and flesh. / was so weak at
one time that could not leave my bed.
In .he summer of 1877 1 was admitted
to the City Hospital. While there the
doctors said had a hole in my left lung
as big as a half dollar. / expended
a hundred dollars in doctors and medi-
cines. 1 was so far gone at one time
report went around that was dead. L
gave up hope, but friend told me of
DR.. Wm. Halls Balsam for the Lungs.
1 laughed at my friends, thinking that
nv case was incurable, but l got q bot
tie to satisfy them, when to my sur
psise and qualification, 1 commenced to
! feel better. My hope, once dead, began
to revive, and to-day feel better spirit
ed than have the past three years.
s'I write this hoping you will publish
! 1t, so that every one afflicted with Di-
seased Lungs will be induced to take
DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption can
be Cured. / have taken two bottles
and can positively say that it has done
more good than all the other medicines
l have taken since my sickness. My
cough has almost entirely disappeared

head. The body was brought to Couch's
undertaking rooms and is being held
for orders from a sister who lives in In
diana.
This makes the fourth death from
whiskey happening among the GUS
toner of Wellington saloons within the
last few months, and yet we presume
those addicted to it will go on the same
as before. These incidents would fur
nish topics for a short discourse on tenn
perance, but it would be a waste of
words. Our only hope of safety from
this curse is in the education Of the
Young.

Health and Happiness

It seems strange that anyone will suf-
fer many arrangements brought on by
an impure condition of the blood, when
Scoville's Blood and Liver syrup will
restore perfect health to the physical
organization 1t is indeed strengthen
ing syrup, pleasant TO take, and has
proven itself to I've the best blood puri-
fier ever discovered, effectually curing
Scrofula, Syphilitic disorders, Weakness
of the Kidneys, all nervous disorders
and Debility. 1t corrects Indigestion.
1t makes the old feel young, and the
Young feel gay; and will invariably
drive out of the system the many ills
that human flesh is heir to. A single
bottle will prove to you its merits as a
health renewer, for it acts like charm
especially when the complaint is of an
exhaustive nature, having a tendency
to lessen the natural vigor of the brain
and nervous system. For sale by II. G

She insists that it is of more import

prevent fit of sickness with its attend
