"that war than our own" and evidently
considers II a matter Of reasonable pride that
Delaware should have expended nothing for
the support Of the var This We believe is
true, and it would stand perhaps to the homer
of the State II the efforts of Jefferson DAVIS
and his conductors had triumphed. But the
rebellion Was suppressed, and we doubt very
much whether the record made by Mr.Sauls-
bury h party, during the war, viii he ennsid-
cred bright or creditable one on the pages
of future history Other States paid bountcs
TO their volunteers Delaware paid none and
refused to authorize the payment nj any by
the city Of Wilmington Other States raised
relief funds for the support of the soldiers

attach odium TO the Federal laws" in tax

these institutions hut he carefully avoids re-
citing the truth that it was the blind hostili.

istence Ms national institutions. The present
National, Rank of Dover owes its existence

have bpen established had the management
of the old Farmers Bank shown a whit OF
financial, shrewdness. or business sense. and
