DELAWARE. This State is divided into three
Counties, each of which elects seven members
of Assembly. Two Of them give maiorties of
about 400, each for the Administration, and
the other about the same number for Jackson,
At the last election, two Counties made present
national politics the test of their candidates,
while the other was governed by the old dis
tinctions of federal and democrat. The conse-
ouence was, that there were elected, IL mem
bers for, and 10 against, the present administra-
ton. The Legislature recently had session,
when, in consequence of one administration
man being sick, parties were exactly balanced.
They balloted three days for speaker, without
success, and, as neither party would yield, they
adjourned sine do, and the members have re-
turned home

THE GREEKS The late accounts from Eu-
rope furnish no means of ascertaining the ulti-
mate consequences of the battle of Navarino on
the fortunes of Greece. To those who re-
ioice in the destruction of the Turkish fleet. it
is painful to be reminded of the demoralized
condition of the government and people of
Greece, which must be presumed, that we may
find an apology for the indignant and reproach-
full language used towards them by the COM
manders Of the allied fleet, Immediately subse-
quent to the battle. 1t is alleged by them, that
the Greek cruisers continued to infest the seas :;
and that the Greek prize court sought to justify
their piracies The Turkish fleet, say they,
" exists no more. Take care of yours-for we
will also destroy it, if need be, to put stop to
system of robbery on the high seas, which
would end in your exclusion from the law of
nations. As the present provisional govern
ment is as weak as it is immoral, we address
these final and irrevocable resolutions to the
legislative body. With respect to the prize
court, which it has instituted, we declare it in
competent to Judge any of our vessels without
our concurrence"
Ere now, we trust better order of things
exists, under the administration of Count Capo
dIstria, President of Greece, nobleman, unit
ing, in an eminent degree, political experience,
prudence and attachment to the cause of the
Greeks and possessing not only their conf
dence, but that of the other nations of Europe
We wait with anxiety for continuation of the
detail of events in this interesting region.

CURED
STATE PRIsoN By the Governors Message,
our readers are already informed of the falling
off in the income of the State Prison for the
present year, in consequence of which, it falls
several thousand dollars short of supporting it.
self, which deficit must be supplied from the
Treasury of the State. Under such crcum-
stances, it becomes proper to see if some reme-
dy cannot be applied to the evil. By the Off
cial reports, it appears that the number of con-
victs, the last year, was 285 and the expenses
1927 OBS so or 1914 sc for each convict By
similar reports of the New Hampshire Prison,
it appears that the number of convcts, there was
~, and the annual expense 81, 500 65, or 1914 90
tor each convict. In the New York State Pris-
on at Auburn, the number of convicts was 427
and the expenses $25, 731 35, or 500 26 for
each convict. Thus it appears that the expense
OF each convict in this state is $50 81 more than
in New Hampshire, and $34 60, or above so
per cent. more than at Auburn. Yet, for aught
that appears, the objects of the institutions are
as well attained at Concord and Auburn as
they are at Charlestown. If the expenses at
Chariestown could be reduced to the same rate
as at Auburn, it would make an annual saving
of $9S6l. The most essential difference in the
items of expenditure, is in the amount of sal
airy paid to officers, that at Concord (includng
also repairs, fuel, and incidental expenses) be-
ing $3.50 1907 Sal 10 for each convict that at
Auburn, including the same, being Sl3,254 sc
or $3l Oh for each convict, while that at
Charlestown rose up to $17,3l3 26 or 500 "a
for each convict and ii does not appear from
the report that repairs are included in the sum-,
as they were at Auburn and Concord We see
no good cause for this enormous difference, and
here we should think it proper to look for such
reduction of expenditure, as will relieve the
state of, at least, portion of the burthen, which
the institution now imposes upon her

THE BRIDEMAiD

FROM BAyLEY's LAYS OF A MINSTREL.
The bridal is over, the guests are all gone,
The BRIDES only sister sits weeping alone;
The wreath Of white roses is torn from hei
brow,
And the heart ofthe bridemaid is desolate now
With smiles and caresses she decked tho fair
bride,
And then led her forth with affectionate pride
She knew that together no more they should
dwell,
Xet she smiled when she kissed her and whis.
per'd farewell.
She would not embitter festival day,
Nor send her sweet sister in sadness away:
She hears the bells ringing, she secs her de-
part,
She cannot veil longer tho grief Of her heart,
Shc thinks Of each pleasure, each pain that
endcars
The gentle companion Of happier years;
The wreath Of white roses 10 torn from her
brow,
find the heart Of the bridemaid is dssolate now.
