. We clip from the Sussex county Messenge
. the following description of " return day"-a
institution not so generally observed or apprs
claled in Kent or New Castle:
Many years ago-probably before the count
was dIsrlcted into hundreds, the citizens ofth
entlre county met at Georgetown to vote. Th
polls were kept open two days, opening ol
Tuesday morning and closing on Wednes da
night. Those coming from a considerable dis
lance would remain until the following day
| Ihursday-to hear the result of the election, a:
IT was on that day the votes were tailed ont.
| lhls was converted into kind of a froic az
persons from all sections Of the county were
louhd here on that occasion. Hence the Gus
/ ,onr OF resort here on the Thursday following
the election.
| Last Thursday was day of note in our town,
and showed that Return Day" with us was
an institution that could not be effected bv
cloudy weather. Three thousand persons were
assembled here on that occasion, a 9leLange :
there were all sorts of characters present.
Men, women, children and negroes assisted to
form crowd as incOngruous as was ever wit
messed. Stalls and stands were in profusion :
there was everything for sale, from spining
wheels to penny whistles; liquor by the glass
and candy by the pound baked opossums and
chicken pies; toys of all descriptions and con-
dictionary in abundance. There was every-
tang displayed to tempt and please the chill
dren; and there was much for the amusement
OF the children of older growth" The young
enjoyed themselves, and the older were moi
Without their means Of enjoyment. All ap
Peared to enjoy the fun immensely The court
house windows, both above and below, were
hlled with ladies, watching the motley assem-
blage spread out before them.
The patent medicine man, or Allen the Vir.
gina razor powder man, as he styles himself
mounted his stand in his regimentaIs and soon
attracted large crowd, who appreciated his
anecdotes, and his w.t. judging from the quar-
ters which fell into his pockets. In the after
noon, our Georgetown band discoursed some
hne music from the portico of the Eagle Hotel
THIS band received many enconiums, all Of
which they richly deserved. Many of the gen
llemen who had recently been elected TO office
showed themselves to their admirng constitu.
ents, and received their congratulations.
Upon the whole it was lively scene; and
one to be rem nembered by all who were partici.
pants. There was not a row Of any Importance
durng the entire day; some darkies went into
some skIrmishes la Morrsey. but were very |
glad TO back out again without much persua-
sion on the part Of their friends. There were
many who participated in this lively occasion,
who would be pleased to see Return Day @Ome
more frequently, so prolific of joIlily is it,
ASIDE from the enjoyment attendant upon the !
lay, there is one result that is not to be over
looked IN balancing its advantages and disad-
it serves 10 blunt the edpe of politi-
cal disappointment, and to cause every one to
De o"tter satisfied with the result, whatever it
may be.
