To the Honorable Judges Of the Circuit Cou


To the Honorable Judges Of the Circuit Con-,
for the County Of Montgomery
The Grand Jurors of the State of Mary
land, County of Montgomery, beg leave L
report to yoIr Honors that they have com
peted all the business brought before them
and the indictments presented are based
upon evidence sufficiently clear and con-
elusive, in our minds, to find said bills.
We further beg leave to report that the
Grand Jury repaired to the Jail, and take
pleasure in stating that cleanliness was n
distinguishing feature of the premises, (pris-
oners excepted,) and the sanitary condition
greatly enhanced by the proiuse use of lime
AS customary committee visited the
Aims House, was cordially received by the
Overseer, who with promptness gave all in
formation desired; showing us through the
entire premises, which we found in excel
lent condition, giving conclusive evidence
OF an eye to the cleanliness and comfort Of
the inmates, numbering 42-12 whites and
80 blacks. The principal part of the grass
land is beautifully set in clover and timothy;
fencing in good condition. 1t may not be
out OF place to state crops produced, viz:
Wheat, $40 bushels; corn, 140 barrels rye,
o0 bushels; potatoes, 100 bushels; with a
sufficient quantity of vegetables for the in
mates during the present fall and winter.
we have not been able to discover any
dereiction of duty on the part of the officers
OF the county, except those whose duty it is
to see that the Court Room and premises
are in proper order, and beg leave to report
that we found Well at the south gate in
bad condition and in their judgment should
be filled in, and that it would add much to
the premises to have the trees trimmed and
the yard cleared of all filth, and the light
ning-rod over the Clerks Office be removed
or put in proper order, and we recommend
that the Bailiff of the Court Room be pro-
vided with good busting brush.

Mutual Fire Insurance Company Of

Mutual Fire Insurance Company OF
Montgomery COunty.--This company
was organized thirty-iour years ago for the
sole benefit OF farmers and Others who could
not afford to pay the high rates for insur-
ance charged by city stock companies when
all profits were absorbed by the capitalists
who originated them.
Managed by farmers and residents of the
county, and having no object but to secure
safety at as low a rate as possible, II has grown
steadily in the confidence of those intended
TO be benefited until its influence extends
into nearly every county in the State, and
its risks now in force amount 10 over four
teen millions of dollars.
At the November meeting of the Board
of Directors committee appointed to pre-
pare statement of its condition made a
report which was 50 gratifying that it was
thought an abstract would be OF interest to
the public, many of whom are members.
1t will be borne in mind that in Mutual
Company its prosperity is shared by every
one having property insured, as is shown
by the annual charge on the premium notes
having been reduced from six per cent. to
four per cent. annually.
The risks now in force amount 10 $14,-
81 1885, the gain for the year has been
$43S, 1853; the premium notes now In force,
6,04960; the gain for the year has been
$31, 886s7; paid for losses by fire since No
vember 1881, $32, 1882; losses awaiting ad.
justment, 5000; entire losses since Novem-
Der 1881, 1877 ,34S.52.
Although the annual interest on the pre-
MUM notes has, for several years, been kept
at the low rate Of four per cent the CON-
pany in addition to paying all losses and
working expenses of every kind, has by
careful and judicious management added to
its cash resources, the gain since November
1881 having been $5,S47.26.
The entire annual cost OF carrying on the
large and steadily increasing business, in
GLIDING taxes, salaries, commissions for 70.
ceiving amount of interest in different parts
OF the State, printing, &C.. &c. is only about
one-half Of one per cent on the premium
notes. NJ 81 81 HEh
The invested funds amount 10 about
seventy thousand dollars, making II ek-
tremely unlikely that an assessment upon
the premium notes will ever be made even
should disastrous fires occur.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondent

from our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. d. c., May 26, 1882.
A most vigorous pounding of gongs
is going on all over the country by
the Democratic and so-caIled Inde-
pendent press over the "assessmentn
OF office holders for campaign pur-
poses. AS matter of fact there is,
to begin with, no such thing as an
assessment made. The campaign
committee has simply addressed cir
eular to those who hold Office in the
party calling their attention to the
necessities of the canvass and inyit-
ing those who feel an interest in the
success of the cause to make a small
contribution in aid thereof. Yet
some who have held Office under Re-
publican administrations for years.
drawing liberal salaries, hold back
all financial aid to the party and it
is amusing to the last degree to wit
ness their efforts tojustify themselves
in so doing. 1t seems to be the Gus.
tom among them to transmit the cir.
eulars received from the committee
to some opposition newspaper, with
a request not to make known the
donors name, and then the aforesaid
newspaper at once proceeds to pub
lish the circular, following it up with
long disquisitions on the evils of as
sessing office holders, the corrupt use
of money for political purposes, and
all that sort of nonsense.
Without advocating the concrete
spoils theory it may, after all, be
stated as tolerably reasonable prop
osition that men who receive their
bread and butter through the instru-
mentality of a political party should
be willing to contribute something
towards its success. AS general
