IMMORAL 4DYEP TII/N(,

The patron of newspapers advertising
columns makes imselfresponsible in great
degree, not only legally, but morally, for the
notice which he gives over his name. His
responsibility goes 50 far, indeed, that it
leaves little upon the shoulders Of the news
nal is not made the medium of immortality or
deception. This latter charge belongs to the
publisher and he cannot rid himself of it,
OF course he is not always able to detect, in
the advertisements which are offered. every
one whose character is vicious, nor would it
be possible to assure himself of the honesty
Of the offers made by every business adverti-
ser In large majority Of cases, we must
leave the accuracy and good faith of their
statements to be youched for by the names
that accompany them.
But there is very numerous class ofadyer-
tisements continually offered to newspaper
which are evidently immoral and intended so
to be; some Of them limiting in the broadcast
| and plainest terms at nfractions of human as
| well as higher laws There are others which
| arc swindles, and bear the evidence of their
dishonesty SO plainly upon their face that
every intelligent reader marks them as such
at once. Such advertisements every respect
able Journalist rejects, and in that category
| we include ourselves. We believe our duty
in this respect to be so plain that whether
interest agrees or not we have uniformly re-
n
fused all Of them Only recently one adyer
tiser offered us Some three or four to be in
serted daily for year, the amount of whicl
would probably have been two hundred dol
lars. A few days later two others, fron
Baltimore, were offered They all share
the same fate and are not found in our col
umns.
Strange TO say, many of our cotemporarie
do not seem to adopt this plain rule of action
, On casual glance over their pages we fin
advertisements in them, whose character
not only doubtful but plainly and atrociousl
bad. The horrible dens in the larger citit
3 where the laws of God and nature are alL
I outraged, and the vendors of poisons desiei
ed to effect the same wicked object, bold
hold forth their propositions. Others, scare
G ly less bad, furnish sealed information
IS etc, etc., and still others pretend to tell s
y crcts no mortals ever knew" or give i
n formation of the greatest Importance
these are as plainly swindles, lies, and
4 ceptlons as though the word was brand
ID upon them, and every intelligent perst
1t knows it. How then can any honest al
ii conscientious journalist allow himself to
rs used as the means by which such sharpe
is shall obtain victimsf

THE SA ULSBURY SUCCESSION

THE SA ULSB URY SUCCESSION.
As the friends of Mr. Salisbury have pre-
vailed upon the Senate not to pass imme-
diately the resolution of expulsion, it is
presumed he means to resign. Such con-
tingency has for some time been anticipated,
and ii is fully understood that Cove will take
his place. Whether he will call the Legisla-
ture together in special session for the pur
pose Of electing himself, is not known. He
may adopt an alternative plan of simply re
signing his Governship. Mr.. Ponder, Speaker
Of the Senate, and brother-in-law of Willard
will become Governor, and may then appoint
Cove to the vacancy. In consequence Of
the hostility of strong party in the lower
House of the Legislature to ''the family it
is possible that the latter plan may be adopt
ed, instead of summoning the Legislature.

We ARE PLEASED to learn that the gentle
men composing the Delaware Association
for the Moral Improvement and Education
of the Colored People are realizing their ex-
pectations, mentioned a short time ago.
They have now planted, or are about to
plant Schools at Wilmington, Newark, New
Castle, Christisna, Odessa, Smyrna, CAM
den, Milford, Georgetown, Seaiord and
Laurel -Four intelligent and refined col
ored teachers went forth this week to their
allotted stations; and more are to follow
soon. 1t is believed that in short time
about twenty good schools will be in opera
ton under the auspices of the Association
in the principal towns OF Delaware. There
is every reason to believe that good and
important work will thus be accomplished.

was submitted to the Court without any collateral
issues.
The sentence will be announced by the Navy

CANTERBURY, April ILL.
The death of Senator Riddle will cause IA
stir in the Wigwam, to know who is to he
his successor. Some of the faithful few will
doubtless be appointed, and of course must
be opposed TO ''niggerH suffrage and ''nigger'
education.
The Rev. Mr.. Harvey, who was invited 10
take charge of the infant Congregational
Church at Plymouth, removed some time
ago to Camden, where warm sympathy
was created in his favor until he took an in
terest in the education of the "nigger. y
That fact patent and he was dropped like a
hot potato.

bug bear in the eye of Delaware Democracy,
and why should il not be? If allowed free
course it may not be long before the poor
tlespiscd descendant of Africa may know
morethan the g unterrificd."
How shocking the idea of having the
"nigger' regarded as brother. Yet to
have half one for a son or daughter is
nothing uncommon or disparaging. This is
| the legitimate fruit of slavery and of course
all right. What beautiful system of ethics
slavery has entailcd upon Delaware? How
nicely all the teachings of revelation arc
made to conform to this !" divine institu-
tion?" How badly shall it be, yet it must
soon be, that all this fine-spun theory Of
niger inferiority, false ethics, and false
christianity must pass away as tale that
was told and a pure system of ethics and re
ligion cover the earth as the waters cover tho
sea, and the universal brotherhood of mar
be acknowledged when all shall stand equa
before God and the land.

THE New York GAzKrTR says s-Afrs.
Salisbury, who is most estimable lady,
made personal appeals to Senators not to
take action on the resolution expelling her
husband. and promised to take him homo to
Delaware. This prevented his expulsion,
which his conduct toward Mr.. Summer in an
executive session provoked. Apart from his
intemperance, Mr.. Salisbury is devoted
husband, kind father, and a true friend.

ONE OF THE BENEFIcENT consequences of
the Reconstruction act has been lately
shown. 1t wGs the prevention, by order of
General Sickles, of the execution of most
barbarous law of North Carolina. under
which man convicted of manslaughter
was about to be branded in the hand in
the usual manner" General Sickles very
properly decided that this was manning
forbidden by the act.
Had Delaware "come up in the resurrec-
ton of Reconstruction, we should have
been glad to hear General Sickles' opinion
on the whipping post.

AS A CURIOUS commentary on the recent
purchase of some of the workingmen of
Connecticut to the support of the Democratic
candidates, it is fact that Illinois, Missouri,
California, Indiana, each with Republican
Legislature, have passed an Eight-hour law.
The Republican Assembly of New York has
passed an Eight-hour law. The Democratic
and conservative majority in the Maryland
at its recent session, refused to
pass an act of this kind.

WAsnrseros, April 10.-Mr. Williams called
up his resolution providing for an adjournment
of the Senate sine die, to-day.
Mr.. Sumner said, anxious as Senators were to
adjourn they must all sec that there was unanisli-
cd business first to be transacted, He could only
allude to but not describe II
Mr. Williams replied he was not particular as
to the time, but thought that some day and hour
ought to be fixed, as Senators were dropping
of one by one and they would soon be found
without quorum.
The resolution was laid aside.
The Senate went into executive session.

The EFFECT of the Connecticut election on
the South has been more feared than any
other of its consequences. But though the
disloyal and corrupt National Intettigencer,
whose only effort in its later days seems to
be to do injury to the country, urges the
Southern people to stop the work of Recon-
struction and wait for help from the hands
of northern sympathizers, other Democratic
papers, including the New York Sun and
World, are sharp enough to see that the
slight ripple in Connecticut does not indicate
any serious wave. The former cautions the
South that 8
We hope the Southern people will not al
low themselves to be deluded in this manner
The Northern people desire to see no impede
ment placed in the way of speedy reconstruc-
ton, nor will they indorse the sentiment of

a State in the North-hardly county
could be carried on the issue OF annuling the
new law; and we desire this assurance to 20
Southwark along with the other.

EVERYBODY PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDS that
all so-called "Gift Enterprises, are either
charity, as that of Mr.. Crosby at Chicago
was supposed to be, or swindle as the ma
jority are, while they are allclosely allied to
the character Of a Lottery. We had noticed
with some surprise that one Of these "Grand
Gift Enterprises" was extensively advertised
in some of the papers of this city, the pro-
ceeds for the benefit of " The Suffering
South, and the Home for Friendless Children,
at Wilmington. Of course the latter pre-
lenses are presumably deceptive,as no sensi-
BILE man would for moment think of e&-
pecting gift from such an enterprise, or
take SO indirect a method of giving charita-
BILE assistance. In another place the Trus-
tees of the "Home" officially withdraw their
name from any connection with the affair.

LEGATION originally started as a Quarterly,
but now issued whenever its editor, Mr..
Dixon, is pleased to prepare the necessary
copy. The Doctor is known as one of the
most eccentric and most successful of New
York physicians and surgeons, and he draws
freely in his various writings upon the ex-
periences of his professional life This book
contains several papers which depict in
strong colors, pictures of that inner life in
the household which is held so sacred and
kept so carefully guarded that only privi-
legged yisitant like the family physician, can
ever guess at its secrets. Of this character
are the scenes in Western Practice, and in
the authors New York experience, of which
several are given u.s.
Other papers are of a practical character
more than philosopic or moralzing. The
Small Pox, and its various preventives, are
treated of in one chapter, and Tobacco,
Abortionsm. The Life Force, Fashionable
Dress, Early Treatment of Children, etc.,
ETC., in Others The style of writing in
these is adapted perhaps rather more to pro-
fessional readers than to those uninstructed
in medical and anatomical lore, but there
are many portions of character which can
not fail to instruct as well as to entertain
any intelligent reader.
The work is handsome limo. gotten
