FRLAwARE several Democratic editors are
Boosting OF having carried the Legislature OF
Delaware, although the Union men have the
Governor. The State is divided into three coun-
ties. Of which Ne~castle has almost as many in.
habitants As both Kent and Sussex: But each
county is equally represented in the Legislature,
aud hence the free soil county is overslaughed
BY the other two.

There vas a new dodge in the market this morning,
which gave great annoyance aud trouble TO persons
having provisions TO buy. Most of the butchers re
fused to take any money but city notes and specie or
to make any distinction between them. Though the
city had announced its determination to receive the
various issues of individuals and in their place to put
in circulation its notes some, and indeed Of
the butchers refused take the issues of the most
responsible persons in the city to change Confed
crate notes. There being great scarcity of city
notes, but few persons we're able TO make any pur
chases The consequence was that many persons had
to 90 home with empty baskets and fortunate will be
those who have saltmeat for dinner This evil if not
corrected Will continue for several days, the pro-
cess of issuing small notes by the city very slow and
that Of substituting them for the issues OF individuals
aud examining and verifying the securities upon which
those issues are based will be found very tedious and
difficult Meantime the banks might afford consider
able relief by initiating the course of the Bank Of Or
leans in making new issues of small notes. which with
the city notes. viii supply all the currency needed for
this city provided the determination of the council to
suppress all private issues be vigorously enforced
We believe that the act of the legislature forbdding
any such issues still exists and it is competent for the
police authorities to present and punish all vioators of
this law. We hopeit will be done. Delta.

THE UgIrED STATES MILITARY CouMAXDER.-B. f.
Butler tie general Of the United States who is to com
maad the forces that will occupy this city, is lawyer
Of prominence il lowell Mass, who has also figured
canspicuously as politician under The old organisation
d parties in the United States Previous 70 the pres
ent revolution, he had been conspicuous in New Eng
land politics for his vigorous and constant hostility to
tie anti-savery parties in New England, and for his
general concurrence with the southern national wing
Of the democratic party. He also regarded as an
earnestSates rights democrat Of the Jefersonian and
,Tacksonian school. In the national democratic con
vention his course was considered national and in
accordance with the views maintained By the southern
branch Of the party In the convention of 1856, he
was warm supporter Of Franklin Pierce for the pres
dency and in the Charleston convention he voted to
the very last for Jefferson Davis Mr. Davis held then
the views upon which the southern States have based
their rights to secede from the Union. Gen. Butler
was regarded of the school of politics Gen
Pierce and Caleb Cushing Early in the beginning Of
this war he astonshed his old party associates by offer
ing his services to maintain the government Of Abraham
Lincoln whose politics and party he had long and so
bitterly opposed and has been very active and prom
nent in giving his aid to prosecute this war. We
state these facts Of his career, which are matters Of
history Our readers must make their own conclusions
and form their opinions, to the probable course
and bearing of their new governor. y. o. Delta
