their spleen and resentment at their own de-
feat in the election in this State, simply be-
cause our thoughts in this article differ very
materially from the DeldWdredn
We may be of that anomalous class" who
would rejoice to see the State defeated in the
ourselves We had rather the 2. w. & B. Il. r.
Co. would pay the tax than have it levied on
the people. But, as old Jack Bunsby would
say, if the II: h. Co. won't pay 1t, and you
CAN compel them to pay it, then you can,
As to the travelling community acquiescing
in the increase charge of the p, W. & r. r.
Co, without a word of complaint, we take Issue
again with the DeLdWdreda, This increased
fare has been and now is a subject of almost
daily complaint among our own people as vel
as with persons coming into the State for bust
ness purposes The prices charged for passage
over the roads under control of this Company
from any given station to Philadelphia, has
been enormous, and with the recent reduction
is yet entirely to high, and we believe we utter
the sentiment of four-6fths of the travelling
community when we say it ought further to be
reduced from fifteen to twenty per cent. Dur
ing the season OF 1867 the transportation
charges on fruit were so enormous that Peacl
growers lost money and became so discouraged
that they stopped planting trees and some O
| them in this locality dug up their orchards las
spring and planted the ground with corn
Our own opinion is that it would be for tn,
interest of the F., W. & B. r. r. Co. to fur
ther reduce the passenger fares as we'll tn,
rates for transportation of fruit and other mer
chandise. We believe it would be more salts
factory to the people living along the line o
the railroad, while at the same time increase tn
amount of freight and travel, which woulC
more than make up the reduction. But tina
is none of om business. If they choose to car
ry less number of passengers and freight witt
their present charges than they would with re
duced rates that is their lookout. 1t give
employment to steamboats, and other mode
of conveyance.

CARPET BAGGERs.-A leading Republican
IN Georgia, by accurate statistics, shows the
talslty of the charge that ''carpet.baggers" fill
the offices at the South. In regard to Georgia,
he says that the Governor, all the State Off
GERS, the two U. S. Senators, and six out of
seven congressman, were residents of Georgia
before the war, as were the President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Out of the two hundred and twen-
ty members of the Legislature but seven are
Northern men who have come South since the
war. Of these seven, three own and work
large plantations, upon which they reside
Another is merchant of extensive business
Another has established newspaper, the Loy-
at Georgian, which commands admiration not
only for its advocacy of freedom, but for its
business success. OF the remaining two, one
is a one armed soldier ofthe Union, who fought
under U. S. Grant; the other a gentleman
well known and esteemed as teacher in West
srn New York. He also writes that he knows
but two county officers who are ''carpet-bag
gers"

GRANTS MOVEMENTS Grant and
wife, with several members of his staff, have
been in New York for several days. He was
at West Point on Saturday to see his son Fred
erick. After spending Sunday with him they
returned to New York city He avoids all
demonstrations of a public nature and goes
through the streets without being known The
Tribune, of yesterday says:
Gen. Grant and wife yesterday morning paid
visit to Captain Rodgers, at his residence on
Long Island, where they spent the forenoon
Capt. Rodgers is an old friend of the General s
and formerly resided in Galena, III. Returning
to the Metropolitan Hotel at an early hour in
the afternoon, the General found several of
the late members of his staff and some of his
intimate friends, with whom he rode to Jerome
Park. After witnessing some fast trotting by
some of the best horsesin the country, he again
returned to the city. In the evening Judge
PierrepOint entertained the General and Mrs.
Grant, and a number of personal friends, OF
dinner, at his residence, on Fifth ave. He re-
turned to the hotel about ten o'clock. A great
many visitors paid their respects during the
day, most oil whom were received by Gen. Dent.
This evening, Gen. Grant will attend the Evarts
banquet at the Astor House.

THE TROUBLES OF A GREAT MAN-For a
week or two we have all been reading how
Gen. Grant was threatened to have his life
worried out of him by the ofice-seekers, as
soon as they heard he was elected President,
and how he snubbed them. But he is threat
ened with as much trouble from the qutd names
as the Office seekers, one class being about as
"pesky as the other, in fact more so, be.
cause he has no redress from the news-mon-
gers. They have already invaded the privacy
of his family relations. A Washington cor
respondent writes: ut is singular fact that
no President of the United States, up to the
present time, has had child born in the
White House" " He adds ''It is understood
the fact will not exist long after the 4th Of
March next"

A POISONING Casa very distres.;,,
case of poisoning occurred recently in p6;iss
delphia. A Lady by the name of Iecbt ..', .a",
her daughter to the drug store to have pS4, nr.
scription renewed, and in putting up the me l.
cine the druggist, by mistake, substituted At, ~
pia for assafoet. Upon her daughters retn,,
the lady took the medicine and in very s5a,.
time symptoms of poisoning began to deyeon., l,,
themselves. Notwithstanding every effort vs'
made for her recovery she died in the cour,r =,
few hours. The jury of inquest rendered +,
verdict as follows:
1--WE therefore find that the said Sonbi,
Hecht came to her death from narcotic mn.
son known as atropia. We also severely con-.
sure Henry D. Bower for allowing an incomne.
tent person to compound prescriptions at ii,
store, and deprecate the practice Of reneW.D!

REJoICINGS. Last Wednesday evening the
pent-up enthusiasm of the Republicans Of Do
yer burst-forth in the shape of an illumination
and torch-light procession. About one hun
dred torches We're in the line. Quite dc ega-
ton went from this town headed by the Cor
net Henderson s. band. The Dover band and
the Smyrna band were in the procession, after
which they united and performed the National
airs and other pieces in fine style. The dwell
ings of some of the prominent citizens were
brilliantly illuminated, among which were those
of Eneas Smith, Wilson L.. Cannon, Hon. n.
R. Smithers, Andrew Smithers, Dr. Isaac
Jump and j. H. Bateman. The railroad depot
was also illuminated.
The Republicans of MiddletOwn also had u
! little jolifcation on Tuesday night week Their
dwellings were Illuminated, and torch light
procession, preceded by drum and fife, march
ed and countermarched through the streets
Cheers and huzzas were sent up, with rockets
and Roman candles, along the line of the pro-
cession, and the affair passed off much to the
satisfaction of those participating in it.
The Democrats of The same neighborhOoC
had little jolifcation the night following. The
Odessa SAKE Horn Band serenaded the Rep
resentative to the General Assembly of Della
ware from St. Georges Hundred, Jos. w
Vandegrift, ESQ, and a handsome entertain
ment was spread before the serenaders whC
were welcomed on behalf of the host by Mr.
Vanderford, of the transcript, and Mr.. Now

STAY LAVA correspondent of the Gazette
Is urging stay law. He thinks the Legisla-
ture should pass such a law as soon after it
convenes as possible, because the financial con-
diton of the farmers is such, owing to the
failure of the peach and other crops, that
if they are compelled to meet their obligations
when they are due they will be 'driven to the
wall" We all see and feel the stringency of
the times, but we hardly think stay law would
meet with much favor here.

Our STATE.-The Republican draws the
following conclusions: There were poed in
our State at the recent election, 1887 votes
being only | ii more than were cast iD 1885,
The increase from 1864 to 1866, was l47l. We
think the voting population must have inoreas-
ed in at least the same ratio within the past
two years. 1t is fair inference therefore that
at least 1900 voters refrained from casting their
ballots at the recent election. These voters
added 10 the legitimate increase of the voting
population In our State, may control the cleo.
tion in 1870, or at least will almost or quite
equal in numbers the present Democratic ma
jority.
