Hon. JONI J. MILLEeAE, paid visit to
this city, on Tuesday morning last. His
many friends throughout the State will be
gratifled to learn that he is much improved
in health, and looks remarkably well.
Rev. L. CoLEMANis now on visit to this
city. His numerous friends were much
gratified to meet him. He is in the enjoy
ment of excellent health, and expresses him
sef much pleased with his new location.
His Parish extends over an area of about
forty miles of territory, Of which his own

doubtless, meet with abundant success

We Invite the especial attention of the city
authorities to the ugly, dilapidated old wall
on the King street front of the City Hall yard,
and request them in the name of improve
ment and decent regard for the respecta-
bility Of the neighbOrhood to take such steps
as will ensure its removal. and some other
more ornamental, or at least more modern
fence put there in its stead. We would
suggest that, in the Spring, the old ugly
wall be torn down, the yard graded, sodded
and planted in ornamental trees, and neat
iron or wooden railing be erected so that air,
light and some degree of neatness may give
out their cheerful influences to the passers by
aud the neighborhood generally. Its pre-
sent appearance is that of prison enclosure
and impresses strangers most unfavorably
1t is one of the most inexcusable nuisance
in the city, and so long as it stands in it
present condition cannot but be regarded a
monument of the fogiest kind of effet
fogyism.

THE House of Representatives has adopt
ed resolution requiring the Committee on
Naval Affairs to inquire into the propriety of
removing the Naval Academy from Annapo-
lis, Maryland, to some place in loyal State,
where the pupils will be free from the con-
Eliminating influences of the disloyal element
that surrounds them at the place of it's pre-
sent location. The vote on the adoption of
this resolution seems to indicate that the
Academy will unquestionably be removed,
and we think it is right and proper that it
should be. Recently Maryland has exhibit
cd determination to oppose the General
Government in its efforts to secure perma-
nent peace on basis which will forever
prevent renewal of the civil conflict on the
part OF the sopth, Traitors have resumed
their sway in that State, and the pupils are
daily compelled to listen to the most vile ant
reasonable language. If the people o
Maryland love treason better than their owl
interests they must take the consequences
although tho loss of this institution will b
seriously felt by them,

Delaware State journal and statesman., 1867-02-08

The bill changing the election oil tne
Mayor, Alderman, Treasurer and Assessor
of this city from one to three years mas peen
introduced 10 the Legislature OF this STATE
We sincerely trust that il will pass. we
would much prefer to see an amendment at
tached making the three years incumbents
ineligible for immediate reelection. BY SO
doing we could reasonably look for an inn
partial performance of duty on the part OF
these officers, inasmuch as they would have
no occasion to trim and shape their course
with view to being reelected. But with
or without the amendment let the bill pass
by all means. Our people, knowing that
the officers they will be called upon 10 elect
hereafter, are to retain their places three
times as long as they now do, will then be
more careful in their selection, and, eschew-
ing politics will look more to the moral, in
tellectual and practical fitness of candidates
than has hitherto been the custom with
voters. The question of politics should
never be suffered to enter so largely in our
local elections as it has done, and the sooner
this partizan, acrimonious spirit is banished
from our midst the better it will be for both
the people and their public servants.
Our city needs, also, other reforms and
changes. For instance, we have now five
wards, divided into seven voting precincts.
Why not abolish "voting precincts alto
gether, and divide the city into ten or more
wardsY Then again, some wards have two
constables while others more populous have
but one. II the city were divided into say
ten wards as nearly equal in point Of in
habitants and territory as possible, eacl
having one constable, elected by the peopl
of the ward, it would bring the officers AM
people into more immediate personal relation
with each other, and thereby exercise
salutary check upon official delinquency
and it would, moreover, give to voters be-
ter opportunity of selecting such persons 10
office as from personal knowledge and intei
course they know to be men Of integrity an
: honor, and who would more certainly retie'
r the popular will and wishes in the dischare
T. of any official duties they might be Gale
upon to perform.
We urge these and other consideration
o upon the Legislature, and hope they wi
receive the attention due to their important
G and the growing interests of Wilmington.
