The public debt was made smaller last
month 10y nearly twelve millions of dollars
The reduction for the year aggregates a,
bout $11O,O0O,00O, which is good deal Of
money to pay out at the expense of the
business interests of the country and to
the impairment of its bank circulation
The most significant commentary to be
made on this unwise, uucal'ed for and in
furious policy, is that during the same
twelve months which witnessed this large
reduction Of the debt, the bankrupt list
OF the country has reached the enormous
total of 5000, with liabilities of S173,-

We referred last week to the statistics
given by Ex-Governor Hamilton in bis last
message regarding the Tax Commission
ers office, and thought that if the Govern
or was correct in his statement. he had
shown good grounds for the abolition OF
the office. 1t now appears, however, by
the report of the Tax Commissioner, since
made to the General Assembly, that the
Governor was seriously in error in his f.
CURES. The report shows that nearly dou-
bic the amount of money stated by Mr..
Hamilton has been collected through the
Office. Commissioner Woolford is at a
loss TO account for the ex Governors mis-
take, unless he adopted the statement
made by the Hagerstown Mail last sum-
mer as the basis of the statistical showing
lie made in his report.

Mr.. Brady, of Baltimore county, on
Tuesday obtained leave to introduce bill
to impose fine of IS on every qualified
voter in the State who fails to cast bal
lot at general elections, provided the fail
ure so to do is not caused by sickness or
absence from place of registration. The
bill compels judges of election to send lists
of those who do not vote to the clerks OF
courts, who will summons them to appear
before the presiding judges to be excused
or fined. The money received from the
fines IS to go to the school fund, and 500
to be exempt from execution in such pro-
ceeding
