SHALL WE BE TABLEs

Two causes operate restrainingly on the
benevolence Of the people who are asked to
give for the relief Of the Southern sufferings.
The first is the recollection of the cmelties
practiced during the war upon the National
soldiers, the fathers, brothers, and sons of
those who are now expected to contribute to
Southern relief. The other is an unfortun-
such actual want as is reported, and that the
people of the South-those who are able, if
they were willing-are not exerting them
selves for their own relief When we hear
OF tits and tournaments at one place, grand
receptions and junketings to some ex-rebel
general at another, and see it charged, by
the Southern newspapers themselves that a
large proportion of the whites are not at
work, not attempting to find any employ
ment, there is a sad but not unnatural hes
station on the part of the people who are
accustomed to give with no sparing hand,
when they are sure their charity is worthily
bestowed.
The effort thus far in this behalf has been
comparatively feeble by the side of others
which we have witnessed during the last five
years. Its leadership has been mostly in the
hands OF those whose sympathies were pecu-
liarly warm toward the cause of the Rebel
lion,and there has been feeling OF gratfica-
tion that these were now contributing TO
charitable purposes after having withheld
their hands from the Sanitary Commissions,
and kindred labors, during the war.
But whether some doubt, or not, there
is too strong evidence of the want and suffer-
ing in many sections at the South, to admit
OF our hestating on that scruple. The old,
Inc infrmi the women whose sympathies
were with the rebellion, no doubt, but who
did not do, and could not have done. much
in its behalf; the children who are certainly
not responsible for their parents treason
the feeble and helpless of both sexes and all
ages, are, in many places, absolutely starv.
ing. Our situation at the North, is far diff
ferent. We can readily afford to give then
assistance. Our crops have been good-be
cause our fields were carefully titled, per
haps--and we have ample means wherewitl
to assist the suiicrings of the really needy.
Whatever may have been their offences
we cannot leave our countrymen and womei
to starve We have no right to refuse thei
appeal. If they are unworthy claimants
that is not our fault, but theirs. If some O
the vile spirits among them ridicule us 10
helping at all, and complain because we d,
not help more, their meannesses should no
effect the performance of oar duty. II W
refuse to feed our starving countrymen tn
shame is ours; if they deceive us as to thei
necessities, or inappropriate our aid, the Of
fence is on their heads.

SUPREME COURT

REASONS FOR REFUSING TO CONSIDER THE
AMENDED BILLS IN THE MISSISSIPPI AND
GEORGIA CASES.
gave no reason for Diminishing the Georgia and
Mississippi injunction bills. The reasons will not
be known officially until next term, but from
what has transpired since its adjournment there
seems to be no doubt that the Justices denied the
filing of an amended bill in the Mississippi case
on the ground that il had no relevancy to the ORR
ginal bill and was not supported by proof that
General Ord intended to seize the property of the
State, and besides II was considered that If such
a course should be pursued by Gen. Ord remedy
would lie in an application for an injunction apart
from considerations connected with the recon-
struction acts.

all successful industrial pursuits. would
like to take all such by the hand. would
like to feel their pulse, and see whether the

A TELEGRAM IN OUR COLUMNS Thursday
gave the curious results of recent trial for
homicide in Philadelphia. A man named
Leis killed another named Eller, in the Court
room, in that city, last February. He was
tried, and on Wednesday acquitted, on the
ground that he was insane at the time of the
killing; yesterday he was again brought be-
fore the Court, and on evidence of his sanity,
he ,Uas discharged.
The Philadelphia newspapers are unani-
nous in their disapproval Of the course taken
to secure the mans discharge, and it certain
ly sets bad example for the future.

The DELAwAREAN gets off some very
weak and fatulent satire on the recent great
Convention in Baltimore, and succeeds in
coming out of the same hole at which it
entered. 1t does not attempt, however, and
il is curious fact that its twin representa-
tive of Bourbonism in this city, has not at
tempted, to argue against the right of the
colored citizens of Delaware to vote, or the
propriety Of conceding them that right. Are
they "hedging' for the future? Do they
begin to see the shadow of the coming
event? 1t must not surprise any one when
the time comes to see Democratic whisky
offered to colored voters, and Democratic
tickets urged upon their acceptance at the

A "BIG THING" IN STRAwBRRRIKs.-
are informed that Mr. Kensey Johns, near
Smyrna, has sold his strawberry crop, four
acres, for the sum of $4,000, the purchaser
to do the picking, and that Mr.. William
Walker, of Dover, has been offered $4,000
for his crop. The prospect for Strawberries
has never been better than this year, and
those who own large patches may esteem
themselves fortunate if anything like the
above prices can be realized in the majority
of cases. $1,000 for the crop of an acre Of
land seems fabulous, but it is said not to be
extraordinary, double that sum having been
realized in the New York market from the
yield of single acre of fine strawberries.
The increasing demands of the Philadelphia,
New York and other northern markets for
fruit and vegetables Of every description,
but especially for the early productions,
should induce small farmers in this section
to give increased attention to raising
crops that will meet this demand, such as
berries pie plant, asparagus, caulifower,
lettuce, peas, &c.-Deto,odredn.
