WE ARE SOMETIMES very abslrdly charged
with undertaking the high character of
this State. We do nothing Of the kind.
Every intelligent man is conscious of the de-
ficiencies existing in our laws and customs,
and these we point out and hope to help
remedy. Showing that others besides our
selves appreciate our shortcomings, we clip
the following from the Georgetown, Sussex
county, Jouraai, a paper which supported
Seymour and Blair, in the lat. campaign -
delaware has no free schools education
j. shamefuly neglected. lis no use to
iniuce al ii. Let Us face the truth and shame
the devil We ale behind. Sussex county
has no schools, at least they are as near
nothing as can be. Our public men with
lew exceptions are cold, selfish and inditter-
ent. They use not mental culture but
money, the sword Of Mammon rather than
that Of Minerva. They will give thousands
Of dollars for votes to the poor, ignorant
wrctches groveling In the night of semi-bar-
bar-m. while not dollar or dime is spent
to send them papers or books or free schools.
Why is II so many people in this county can
be bought on the election grounds. Are
not poor men rs honorable as the rich ; l.
not humnn nature the same the wide world
oyers Yes. But il is lack OF That sense OF
OF propreiy, that firmness in great principles
| which come alone oi culture and knowledge
The great channels Of knowledge are no
only not widened and decpened that all may
battle in the Peridn flood but they are dam
u.ed up by short sighted pubic policy.

II SEEMS PROBABLE that the customary num-

already appear that the following parties will
apply

Sarah A. Anderson from her husband, Josiah.
NJ. A. Sawdon from her husband. Richard r.
Audrey Douglass from her husband VIM H.

be disunitcd from the other, in which case We
presume one divorce will answer for both. 1t
