FEMALE ECONOMY.

He is mean man who accuses a woman
of meanness, because her expenditures are
carefully regulated. and her outlay watched
with close and unremitting economy To be
sure, no husband and father ever reproaches
wife or daughter with undue care in circum-
scribing her expenses, but, whether consistent
ly or not, all men (save our more just selves,
perhaps,) charge the female character with
containing strong tendency to meanness
and close tistedness, qualities which no one
tolerates in another than himself or those
who may spend for him. You may remem-
Der that no tradesman fears the exactions of
any male purchaser so much as he does a
woman. Nobody, it is said, higgles so long
about the half cent per pound on the price of
mackerel, or has SO keen an eye for rem
nants.' They are charged with being bar
gain hunters, and are supposed to be very
set of dragons in their desire to save penny.
Now, one word for the ladies. Who
sharpened their mercantile witss Who
taught them, in a hard school, the lesson OF
SSoiohtt "hu OpiESN vi uOl.
to keep their expenditures down to the low
est limit ? Who. Why these same husbands
and fathers. They-except in rare instances
of female supremacy-rule oyer the treasu.
ry, wear the clothes of authority, and con-
troll every appropriation. With a close fist
they hand out little dribs of stamps, OF once
in a while, solitary, companionless, forlorr
grccnback, to the female members of thei
household. And they, driven by this sterI
necessity, obliged by higher authority to bt
economical, attempt to make fifty cents buy
a dollars worth
Gentlemen of justice, pause and ponder
When your wife trades your second best coat
to the jew peddlcr for pair of parlor orna
mcnts, or sells your files Of valuable paper
at SO much per pound, inquire with the Sc
verify that inward examination ought tc
have, how much you have given her foi
spending money, this quarter. Upbraid hel
not for illiberality if you forced her to it
Here we stand TO plead her cause and asser

BUYING RUSSIAN LAND.

Shall we buy the bear pasture offered us
by Russia--price seven mlllion--or not ?
Why buy it? 1t seems to us the worst of
policies, for it, and all the other waste terri
tory now lying in commons, outside our bor-
ders, is certain to become ultimately the pro-
perry of our Yankee nation, and we consider
it fair to presume, at a price next to nothing
at all. Mexico, with all its gold and silver,
is throwing itself into our lap whether we
want ii or not, and Canada is not far distant
from making its application to be admitted
into the Union. And as we shall have to
take the debts of these new States on the
North and South, along with their soil, we
really think it bad fnanciering to pay so
much per acre. If this were our last chance,
and the lowest offer likely to be made, we
might urge its acceptance, but with one ex-
cellent prospect of getting it for nothing
when We may need it, surely the better plan
is to apply our little seven millions to objects
more urgent. If our American Eagle wants
cool summer roost, he must put up for a
while with the peaks of the Rocky Noun
tains, and If he needs bear grease for his
crest feathers let him send over Captain Fox
and an iron-clad to st. Petersburg, where the
Emperor will surely present him some with
out expense.

A SOUTHERN UT7ERANe,E.


We find it impossible to crowd into the
columns Of the COMMERCIAL even an alb
stract of the many indications which the
people of the South, black and white, Union
and Rebel, are giving Of returning sanity.
Among others we print elsewhere an article
from heretofore bitterly Rebel sheet, the
Macon [Ga.) Journal The manner in
which it roasts Andrew johnson and the
former Democratic party of the North is as
refreshing as it is just, and the home truths
it tells can scarcely fail to have good effect
among its readers.
We commend the whole article to the
careful perusal Of every man who differs
from us in politics. We ask him to consider
whence, and under what circumstances, this
expression Of opinion emanates, and what
conclusions it naturally and logically in
duces. The South has cut loose entirely
from its old utilization with the Democrats
of the North, and this is but one evidence
of the utter dissolution of partnership.

mo use for Democracy"

The Charlottesville (yirginia) Chronicle
"A paper which needed Reconstruction and
has accepted the Sherman plan-thus sensi-
bly, discusses the utter uselessness of the
wreck once.known as the the Democratic
party
"The Northern Democracy hare use for
as in peace; they haze none In pdr. Their
object is TO make party capital and the
South is merely ball that is struck by the
bats of the contendng parties. But the very
moment Ben Wood & Co. show their heads
plainly and run up boldly the Democratic
flag, and call on the South to stand by them
as q unit, that very moment will the North
be q unit against the South and all the Dem
ocratic champions. II is hatred and fear OF
the Democratic party (whose strength was
in the South that has made the Northern
people so sharp and so extreme with the
South. 1t is this hatred and fear which has
kept the sore running since the war. 1hert
aoiU be no peace for the South until tn
Democratic party marches Off the .felc
of BATTLE"

COMPARATIVE CREDIT

1t Is worth remark as conclusively Illus
trating the deficiencies of the present man
ayers of this State, in point of financial
ability,to observe the difference in the credit
of Delaware and Pennsylvania. The twenty
year six per cent. State bonds of the former,
commanded yesterday only 97a q 9s per
cent, of their nominal value, and are slow
sale at the bankers counters, many investors
throwing them aside with perfect contempt.
On the other hand, the State of Pennsylvania
has just negotiated new loan of twenty
three millions, which sells at a premium of 8
per cent, or 1903, though similar in length
of time and bearing the same interest. This
fact pointedly illustrates the different fsaA-
cial management of the two States,
II may be stated, in addition, that the
loans of the city of Wilmington sell at par
or slightly above, the interest being usually
added to purchasers.

Oldest papers in the Wyoming Valley, among the

the length of the columns each an inch These

THE LATEST ATTEMPT to break the peace
anew, land obstruct the reorganization which
is now proceeding so satisfactorily in the
Southern States, is that of obtaining an in
junction from the Supreme Court to restrain
the President and the Military from carry
ing out the law in Mississippi. That such
an effort would be made was kept profound
secret until Congress adjourned, and though
il is now represented by nobody greater than
Ex-Governor Sharkey, and Robert J. Walk
err, the friends of the President protesting in
the strongest manner his utter ignorance OF,
and entire disconnection with it, we find a
difficulty in believing that such step would
have been taken if there had been no en-
enlargement for ii from some high quarter.
If the Radicals in Congress had not sue
ceedcd in carrying an adjournment to July,
instead of adjourning to meet in December,
we might have had very different story
told us. The success of this plan of Recon
structon is Andrew Johnson's confessed
failure; its rise is his fall
Whether the Supreme Court will interfere
or not remains to be seen. If they do, it
will be an evidence that the work of Con-
gress must be yet more thoroughly done,
and that body will promptly assemble in
July to perform its new duties. We are in
clined to think, however, that the expe-
rience the Court has already had in making
decisions Of the Milligan class will be
enough to satisfy it for the present

D.. s. sENA TOR .lppOIy7ED.


We are informed that Governor Salisbury
has appointed Hon. James A. Bayard, ofthis
city, United States Senator, to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the death of Hon. Geo. Read
Riddle. The commission was made out last
week, and reached the hands of Mr.. Bayard,
on Friday.
This appointment is hardly according to
popular anticipation, which had predicted
the selection of Thomas F. Bayard, Esq,
the son Of the recipient. Mr.. James A., as
is well known, represented this State in the
U. s. Senate for many years, and having been
elected in 1868 for six years, he neglected or
refused to take the test oath required of the
members of Congress, until upon the propo-
sition for his expulsion, he took the oath and
resigned, January Doth, 1864

POLITICAL.

The nomination of ex-senator Nesmitl, of
Oregon, as Minister to Austria, has been re-
jected by the Senate.
General Schofeld has issued an order for
registration of voters in Virginia under
the Reconstruction act
A dispatch to Cincinnati, from Chicago,
ON the 3D., says that Keokuk, Iowa, elected
Republican city officers. Ii has usually gone
Democratic.
The election in Kentucky, for members
of Congress, will take place on the 4th of
May. I he Stnte election is held on the first
Monday of August.
Returns from Michigan show that the
Republicans have carried the State by about
the usual majority. The vote was very light,
and there was no excitement whatever.-
In the Milwaukee charter election the Re-
publicans gained two councilmen.
Sacramento, California, held city
election on March ~, for the first time under
a registry law. There were 2ll9 names
registered, and l7lS votes polled, as follows g.

exhibit Republican gains. In Toledo the
Republicans succeeded in electing every one
of the candidates on the city ticket, and 10
Of the IL Councilmen. The city last Spring
elected as Councilmen majority of Demo.
Gratis and the straight Democratic city ticket,
AT Cleveland all the Republican city candi-
dates, except the nominee for Mayor,
who was defeated, were elected by from 2Oi
to 800 majority. The Leader asserts the
election Of the Democratic Mayor by fraud.
1t says that in the 9Th Ward the Democratic
vote was $50, or 1872 more than were polled
for both candidates for Mayor year ago.
The total vote was l,087, while there are
900 legal voters in the Ward. A similar
state Of affairs exists in the 18th ward. In
Dayton (the home of Vallandgham) the
election resulted in the success of the whole
Republican city ticket, by majoritics ranging
from $50 to 600. The average Union ma,
jority on the city ticket is 400; last Spring
il was 26S; so that the Union gain is 1882. A
full vote would have shown 800 gain. The
Council stands 0 Union and Democrats
In Ravcnna the Union ticket was elected
without opposition.

THE ADJurAyr cENxRAl,s REpoRT,

Ever since Samuel NJ. Harrington, ESQ.,,
resigned this office to take that Of Secretary
ofState under Governor Cannon, II has been
filled by Professor ED. Porter, of Newark
There is no salary attached to the office, and
so far the State has not even paid the Incl
dental expenses arising under its administra-
ton. Professor Porter has performed the
duties devolying upon him most faithfully,
and is preparing full report from the mus
ter rolls of every Delaware Regiment, which
will when finished form the basis for COM
plete military history of our State and her
regiments during the rebellion. The report
should when finished be printed by the State
as ii will be of great interest and importance
20 all classes OF our citizens
Adjutant General Porter rendered his re-
signation to Governor Salisbury, upon the
accession of the latter TO the gubernatorial
chair, but the Governor refused to accept the
resignation and Professor Porter held over.
He has made an excellent and efficient off
Ger, and the Legislature owes it to the honor
of our State that they reimburse him for his
necessary expenditures in performing the tu-
ties of his office, and to the honor of our
brave boys in blue that they provide for the
publication of his official report.

10 the Editors ofthe Tribune.
Some weeks ago you announced current re-
port that Judge George p. Fisher, formerly of
this State, and now of the District of Columbia,
had been instrumental in obtaining the confrma-
ton by the Senate of Mr.. Barr as Postmaster of
this city, and George B. Dickson as U. s. ASSESS
of this District. and stated that if it were iin-
true it should be denied. No denial has been
offered by Judge Fisher or by any ONE for him,
and it must be said for the best of reasons It
happens to be true that Judge Fisher was instru-
mental to the extent of his influence whatever
that may have been, in inducing Senators to con-
firm Messers. Barr and Dickson and also Mr.
Pratt ms District Attorney. For the truth of this
statement we have the authority of Senators and
indeed of Judge Fisher himself, who authorized
Senator Cattell of New jersey, to state that he
had worked for the confirmation of Mr. Dickson
Since from Mr. Barr's card it would appear that
he was ignorant of the kindness this friend was
bestowing upon him ut Court, we are left to infer
that from his confirmation at least Judge Fisher
expected no immediate advantage or return, and
that he was actuated solely by tile generous I'M
pulses of his heart, and desire to advance both
the cause of the Republican Party Of Delaware
