The Delaware Rail Road is great con-
venience to persons wishing to visit Lower
Delaware, or any part of the peninsula,
Through the facilities offered by this road,
and the numerous branch roads connecting
with it, a traveller is enabled to reach any
part of the Peninsula without much difficult

The Friends in The Carolinas

An Association formed in Baltimore for the re-
lief Of the suffering Friends in North Carolina,
who lost nearly all their property, during the war,
made its report to the Yearly Meeting (0rthodox)
at Baltimore, last week.
The association AT the outset received material
aid from Friends in England and Wales, which
went fur to assist the enterprise. III 1865, after
Sherlnan's desoatng march, visits under the di-
rection OF the association were made to North Car
DINA, for the distribution Of provisions, clothing
and money, and during that year the Baltimore
Friends passed on to the Western States 400
Southern members, who had determined to emf
CRATE Efforts we're made to check this cmigri-
ton, which succeeded, and the Negotiated but val
liable farms Of the communities 10 the Soutl are
now beginning to present an appearance Of inn
proved cultivation.
The advance in education has been large. Al
the close Of 1865 there were 20 indifferent schools
with about 600 pupils. The present statistics show
normal school with JOG pupils, 80 schools, Zone
in every neighbo.j.q Of Friends) with 2,143
scholars, 1,245 of whom friends children.
| The schools are under the management OF JascpL
Moore, A. NJ, rs superintendent. First Day OF
Sunday schools have also been established with
success, several Of which are for coored children.
The expenditure Of the association for education-
al purposes exclusively has been 519.933 Sc.

year amount to 81 Jig ~, making total since

THE c1yzL RIGHTS BILL.

We state elsewhere the opinion pronoun-
ced in the session Of Court at Dover, by
Chief Justice Gilpin, that the Civil Rights
Bill Is not operative in this State, in refer
ence to the admission Of colored testimony.
We withhold comment till VIC have the full
or text Of this most Important, and VIC must
say most extraordinary, decision. During
whole year after the passage by Congress OF
the Civil Rights Bill, Judge Gllpin declined
10 pass sentence on colored offenders, be-
CAUSE the penalties prescribed by the Dela-
ware statutes for them differed from those
for white criminals, and were therefore IN
conflict with the Congressional Act. These
negroes lay in Jail for months under no a,l-
thority of Imprisonment, and were finally
discharged from custody, at the first session
of Court, after The passage by the last Lcgis-
laturc, of an act prescribing that in all cases
under the ordinary penal statutes Critic 2oth)
the penalties for all offenders should be the
same. From this action of the Court, we
were entirely unprepared for the opinion
given yesterday.
OF course this is not decision, but sim
ply an opinion, and it seems indeed, not to
have been necessary, inasmuch as the Judge
admitted the testimony of the colored wit
ness upon other grounds But the opinion
indicates what the action of the Court would
be if the point should come before it on an
argument. From it an appeal might be TAX

The Freed people.

Special Correspondence.
We were very much gratilicd a few weeks since
during a trip to Cecil county, to see troops of
neatly dressed colored children, with their books
and baskets, proceeding 10 school, and while the
labor system in It's transition state bears very hard
upon farmers and Planters on account of search
ty and unwllingness of many In their new con-
dition 10 labor yet 1t is gratifying to know that
in the mouths OF some Of the most bitter oppo-
nents to Emancipation formerly, acknowledge
ments are made of the wisdom of this great
movement, and the better future dawning on the
children of the wealthy classes, developing
capacity for more uselal life than under the old
system. Meeting with some intelligent Floridiins
it was very pleasant to hear them express the
welcome Which would be awarded to cmigrants
to their land of flowers from amy section, North,
South, East or Wlst. NJ.

who oppose the establishment of the guaran-

for them to profess fealty to the laws, for
their actions prove them otherwise.

run for the especial benefit of the little band
of slaveholding aristocrats. The attempt,
now, is to do the same thing in new form,
T. c. stop Reconstruction, impede the settle
ment of the War issues, prevent the tran
builizing of the Country, keep all commercial

now being reconstructed BY loyal men, but
this must be stopped for the benefit of the
