Whit-Monday at Abingdon.



There was grand meeting and parade of the
various colored lodges at Abingdon, on Monday,
June 9th. They met at the church Mt l015 A.
NJ, and preceded by band of music, paraded
through the principal streets of Abingdon and
back 10 the church, where refreshments were
served. They presented very fine appearance,
over 200 appearingin full rcgalia, many bearing
flags, banners, axes and spears.
At L. NJ. they were agrccaby entertained by
speech from Major A. NJ. Hancock. He told
them that the coorrd population in Hartford
county were treated worse than in any county
in the State that they did not receive their share
of public school money; that they were heavy
taxpayers, and as such were entitled to have
more money appropriated fol school purposes
than there Is now. He quoted statistics com
parng Hartford with other counties, showing
how much more money they receive in other
counties than here; also that as taxpayers, all
men over p years of aye were entitled to have
their names put in the box from which the
jurics were drawn, and that privilege they were
now uniustly denied that in Baltimore city and
in many counties they had this precious privi-
lcgc. He strongly advised calling conventions
OF all the colored men in the county aud ap-
pointing delegates to demand their rights, and
if they were refused said the speaker, "Your
remedy is then near ut hand" lie then turned
to the question of politics. and said the Demo-
cratic party was falling to pieces everywhere,
aud that the Republicans were becoming more
united, (cNcept roscoe oonkllnG, ana That this
fall "wislywashy" Democrats would try to in
luencc them TO vote split tickets and Demo-
cratic tickets, bit that they must be careful and
vote 0aly the pure, good Republican ticket, and
he promised them that only men who ''looked
through Republican eyes" should be presented
to them for candidates. Very slight applause
followed and remarks of 81 don't agree with
him" were very freely ndnlgcd in by the sable
hearers.
A speech by Mr.. VIM. NJ Marine followed
which did not have the pleasure of hearing -
There was goodly number very drunk driving
around AT rapid rates with fast horses and fine
vehicles, which, we venture TO assert, if the
owners had known were being used rs they
were, would have staid at home

Yield per acre.

The above facts and figures show not only
the advanced state of agriculture in Hartford
but also attest the excellence of our lands
They are admirably adapted to raising
all kinds of garden vegetables, and all the
fruits grown in this climate, except peaches
For grazing cattle, also, our county offers su
pcrior advantages. 1t is well watercd in
every part, grass grows luXuriantly, and this
section is seldom visited by severe droughts
Deer Creek, the Little Gunpowder, Winters
Run, Bynum's Run and Broad Creek, will
their branches, afford innumerable mill-sites
and some of them inexhaustable water power
In addition to tire agricultural advantages
which Hartford possesses in SO great degree
the mineral wealth which lies buried beneath
the surface is immense Vast beds of iron
ore of the best quality exist, with slate field
SPAR asbestos, chrome, &c Our tide waters
abound in swarms of wild-fowl, together with
fish and crabs.
There is only one drawbacks To the pros
perity of Hartford namely, the need of rail
roads through the centre of the county. This
want, we hope, will be supplied before long
The Baltimore and Delta Narrow Gauge
Railway is nearly graded from Delta, in York
county, Pa, to Baltimore city, with a prospect
of its early completion, and Hartford, besides
is in the route of the proposed through lin,
of railroad between Baltimore and Phade
phia, for which surveys are now being made
by the Baltimore and Ohio Company. Tit
price of lands is low, and an investment il
them would assuredly be much more profita
BILE, now and hereafter, than in Government
or State bonds at 81 or per cent.

BALTIMORE CITY PoLITICs.-Thc sugges-
ton was made last week that ex-senator
William Pinlkney Whyte was likely to be
made the Democratic candidate for mayor of
Baltimore city. 1t occasioned some surprise,
which was increased by his nomination for
the same office, on Tuesday, by Governor
IIamilton's Committee of One Hundred, who
appeared determined to get ahead of their
political brethren of the regular organization
The Democratic mayoralty primaries have
been called for the 10th and the convention
for the nth. Mr.. Whyte has not yet formal
ly accepted the nomination rendered him,
and will doubtless wait until the regular
Democratic organization acts, and if it
should nominate him also, he may, by accept
ing both nominations, give offence to neither.
Mayor Latrobe, it is reported, will be
strongly pressed by his friends for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor, to succeed
Governor Hamilton, and with his excellent
record as Mayor of Baltimore, his chances
for nomination would be good

THE STATES FINANCEs-Monda Balli
more papers contained card from Comp.
troller Heating and State Treasurer Compton
in reply to n part of Governor Hamilton's
recent speech which reflected upon the man.
agement of the States finances. They aver
that since 1868 every circumstance connected
with the administration of the State sinking
funds has been communicated to the public
in official reports, and suggest that no criti
cism has been made by Governor Hamilton
in regard to this matter at any previous time
although he must have been, or should have
been, fully posted. They show that by the
policy begun by Republican Legislature
recommended by Governor Bradford, and
pursued by the Democratic management, the
State debt in ten years has been reduced
S4,000,9 S2.14. They claim that the argument
of the Governor implies that the State has
properly a choice between only two methods
| in the future management of its financial af.
fairs. First, 4 great increase in the rate OF
taxation, in order to provide for the rapid
extinction of its remaining debt in this gene
ration, Second, or the payment of that debt
as far as it can be so paid, by the sale of the
valuable internal improvement properties
which the State possesses.
Upon this theory the rate of State taxation
making every reduction of expenses, whether
practical or not, which he suggests, must be
increased from eighteen and threc-q quarter
cents to twenty-eight cents on the one hundred
dollars.
Mcssrs Heating and Compton think that no
material change in the rate ofState taxation is
necessary and that it would be unwise to sell
the interest of the State in its internal i'm
provements such as the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, the Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Tidcwater Canals In view of the abundance
of money in the markets of the world they
recommend the funding of the State debt at
not more than A per cent.
