chants of Philadelphia, ''who style them
selves Democrats, did not respond, NO one
is verdant enough to believe that any fault
attaches to the Chairman of their State
Committee for the failure to ''obtain funds.
And if the plain intimation OF the editor OF
the Gazette is correct, that the Democratic
party is largely made up of purchaseable
material, the public are more indebted for
that interesting piece of information to the
ill-temper of Mr. Myers, produced by the
defeat of his favorite candidate, than to any
innate desire on his part to expose the weak
ness that pervades that once respectable, but
now hopelessly demoralized and dlscomhtted
political organization.

The Contest in Delaware.

Our Union friends in Delaware, under the
lead of their distinguished Chairman. Hon.
Samuel NJ Harrington, made noble, though
unsuccessful effort to redeem their State.
They ought not to feel disheartened, but
should buckle on The armor and try it again.
They had many insuperable obstacles to en-
counter. The two Southern counties of the
State swarm with Rebels, as violent as any
in South Carolina, and we see by the Della
rare State Journal that large numbers were
imported to swell the Copperhead majorities
in Kent and Sussex We sincerely hoped
the Union men would have been successful
not that we wanted the single Congressman
from that State for National purposes, for
we have enough without him, but we did
want to see the Diamond State redeemed,
the pillory and the whipping post-those
remains of arbarism-blotted from her
statute book, and her fair fields opened up
to Northern enterprise and free labor.
The manner in which the late canvass was
conducted, led us to hope for different re-
suit, Notwithstanding the State went for
Mcclellan in 1864. In addition to the able
and effective corps of local speakers constant
ly at work, the State was thoroughly canvas
sed by number of distinguished gentlemen
from other States. Senator Wilson, of
Massachusetts,. did noble service. Among
the rest, as our readers know, was II. B.
Swoope, Esq, of this place, whose services
are acknowledged by the Wilmington Com
niercial of the 9Th instant, in most fattering
terms. Speaking of the meeting just before
the election, at the Institute Hall, in the
city of Wilmington, the Commercial says;
This was the largest indoor meeting of
the campaign. The spacious Hall Of the
Institute was crowded with people. A con-
siderable number of the audience were la
dies, who enjoyed the speeches all the bet
ter, perhaps, because political meeting was
somewhat Of novelty to them. Hon. H.
Bucher Swoope delivered a magnificent
speech, or rather All Grafton, which was an
honor to himself and pleasure to his au-
dience. He was listened to throughout
with that earnest attention aud entire SYM
pathy which is distinguishing characters
tic OF Republican audiences. He finished
his speech with an eloquent peroration
which was greeted at its conclusion with long
continued and enthusiastic applause. We
cannot allow this opportunity to pass with
out thanking Alr Swoope for the splendid
service he has done US in this campaign No
better evidence OF the value of his speeches
could be offered than the universal desire of
all who have heard him to hear him again.
Prominent Democrats have seen that he has
damaged their prospects more than any 9TH
er speaker in the whole campaign, while the
Union men have so high an appreciation of
his ability and services that the very men
ton of his name is received with cheers.
Once more we thank him, and in the name
of the loyal men of Delaware congratulate
old Clearfeld on having such son.

The Next Congress.

The n. Y. Tribune has made up a com
parative list of the present and the next
Congress, by which it appears that the Rad
icals gained six Members in the elections
held this Fall The last House Of Repre-
sentatives was composed of 122 Radical Re-
publicans and Al Democrats and Conserva-
tives. The same States, at the elections al
ready held return l2S Republicans and 50
Democrats and Conservatives. We may
lose one or two Members in the elections to
be held in 1867, but in case Colorado and Ne
braska should be admitted, this loss will be
balanced by those States. Under any state
of circumstances. however, the Fortieth
Congress will be more largely Republican
than the Thirty Ninth The Senate will
probably stand Al Radicals to 10 Democrats.

The Way They Did It.

Baltimore city was carried at the election
last week by the Conservatives" The
manner in which men. who lad been in the
Rebel service or were active Secessionists at
home, took the ''iron clad oath" and thus
managed to vote, was calculated to confound
persons that believe there is punishment for
perjury either in this or the next world.
They probably acted on Reverdy johnson S
opinion that the oath was 'unconstitution-
al and therefore might be falsely taken.
1t is also said that employees of the Custom
House took possession of some precincts
and with guns and revolvers deferred Union
men from voting. Is it to be wondered at,
therefore, that the supporters of my poll
cy" succeeded in overriding the Radicals in
Baltimore? We think not.

X X-PRovIsIoNAL-Go GOVERNOR PERRY, of
South Carolina, has written letter of min
gled pluck. bombast and pathos, in which
he AYERS that though the Southern States
may be ruined, they cannot be dishonored
and disgraced save by their own acts
Hence, he opposes the Constitutional A
mendment. The Governor, it seems to us,
does this at unnecessary expense of sensi-
bility. Was the South disgraced by ratify-
ing previous Constitutional Amendment
repudiating the Rebel debt, and, in Short
accepting what Southern statesmen politely
term the 'situation?' ''-supposing, of course
that all these things were done in good
faith. Was it so much easier to swallow
the big and bitter dose prescribed by Presi-
dent johnson than to take the mild one Of
fered by a Radical Congress? Or has the
President SO far poisoned the patient that
he don't know his medicine?

Gov. Swami and President Johnson.

On the 7th November, the morning after
the election, Gov. Swami made a speech
in Baltin. ore, claiming the result in Mary
land as a yindication of his policy" and
threatened that he would use all his pow
er to punish the men who had outraged and
defed the Executive of the State. He sta
ted that he had been in daily conference
with President johnson, who not only was
ready TO send United States troops to Balti-
more, but had given the Governor carte
blanche to call them out, had a contingency
occurred fer so doing He was glad the oc-
casion had not risen, as in thus accepting
military aid to sustain his own authority, he
might be placing weapon iii the hands Of
the Radicals to be used against the Presi-
dent as a ground of impeachment. As the
Constitution of the United States, which
makes the President Commanders Chief,
gives him no right to delegate his authority
to the Governor of any State, it is thought
Mr.. Swami very wisely forbore using the
power that was thus placed at his disposal
As it is, the course of Mr.. johnson in re-
gard to the Baltimore trouble is likely to be
Investigated by Congress after it assemblies

JUDGE REAGAN, of Texas, member of
the Cabinet of jeff. Davis, has written
letter to Gov. Throckmorton, in which he
urges the people of Texas to give suffrage
to the negroes on the same terms as it is
given to the whites. He warns the people
of the State that the North is in earnest in
demanding suffrage for the blacks. and says
that those who oppose negro suffrage in this
qualified form elect to force universal ne
gro suffrage on the country, and ought to be
and will be held responsible by our people
for it when it comes; and they ought no
longer to be allowed to shield themselves un-
der pretended ignorance from the conse-
auences of criminal demagoguery

Massacre of Americans.

In North Eastern Asia is a country called
Corea, of which little is known 1t is NOM
inally tributary to China, and is inhabited
by semi barbarous people, extremely ieal-
Gus of foreigners, with whom they hold but
a very limited intercourse The French, it
is stated, have declared war against Corea,
doubtless for outrages committed on subjects
of France, and it looks now as if these peo-
pie would also get into serious trouble with
the United States, for a Gable dispatch re-
ceived few days since, announces that for
ty Americans had been murdered by the Co.
reans. No details of this horrible outrage
have yet come to hand, but it seems that
the American vessel General Sherman"
got ashore at Corea, and that forty persons
belonging to the ship were massacred by the
natives. We take it for granted that the
Commander of the United States squadron
in the East will promptly seek satisfaction
for this horrible outrage, the perpetrators
of which should certainly have inflicted up
on them the most condign punishment.

In THE SUPREME Court of Connecticut
there has recently been decided curious
case. A man and his wife having been
killed by railroad accident, the heirs of
each brought suit and recovered four thous-
and dollars in each case. The money Oh
taired for the death of the wife went to her
heirs, and the question before the Supreme
Court was whether the foul thousand dollars
recovered by the death of the man should
go to his or his wife s heirs She having
survived him few hours, the court decided
that the wife's heirs should have the money.
