TuRNED.-A few days before the election it
was stated that VIM. NJ. johnson, of Apo
quinimink, had come out for the Republicans
and that he was going to carry large vote
with him. Not many knew who he was, and
those who did know him knew he possessed no
influence save as lick-spittle for Sam. Town
send. They also knew his motive By some
means, in 1866, he succeeded in getting the
appointment of U. s. Assistant Assessor in
place of Mr.. Jonathan S. Hand, a worthy man
and competent officer, who would not Johnson
ise himself. Many persons, even among the
Democrats, were surprised that the Office was
given to such man, but such was the case.
Now, to hold on to the position, he suddenly
becomes q Republican of the most radical
stripe, and took pains to inform the people,
just before the election, that he would iniure
his Democratic friends to the amount of fifty
votes. But he failed to either injure the latter
or benefit the former, and both parties say out
with him, because the one knows he is treach-
erous and the other that he is insincere, and
each are well aware that he is not fit for the
office he holds. Mr.. Hand is the man for the
office if he desires it ) at all events, johnson is
POt the man, and never should have been ap.
pointed.

WHEN sick man dies who was thought by
his friends to have been out of danger, the at
tending physician is very apt to be censured
for malpractice. When it was expected that
the good old Democratic party would be
restored to power again by the Presidential

the doctors of the New York National Conven-

PAYING AN ELECTION BET-On Monday
afternoon, in Wilmington, Thos. NJ. Culbert,
formerly Deputy Provost Marshal, wheeled
Washington Cox in wheelbarrow from one
end of Market street to the other, in compli-
ance with a wager made on the election. The
Gazette says:
At the time appointed they started, preced-
ed by the colored band. Mr.. Cox had box
in which he received contributions at every
corner, to be presented to the Home for Friend
less Children. This took great deal of time,
as an immense crowd collected, and gave Mr..
Culbert ample time to rest. The day was
warm and as the wheel barrow was urged up
the Market Street ascent, with Cox upon it,
the sweat flowed very freely from Culbert- =
A half dozen policemen took position around
the wheelbarrow, to keep the crowd off, which
gave the matter a sort of official approval :
The bet was made sometime back, and was
upon the result of the vote of New Castle coun.
ty, Culbert betting that the county would &c
for the Republicans, and Cox betting it would
go for the Democrats. The collection amount
ed to $I02 and some cents.

GRANTS CABINET.-Now that Grant is cleo.
ted the whole country is busy fixing up his
Cabinet officers for him. Of course it is all
speculation as to who his advisers will be. as
it Is more than probable that Gen. Grant does
not know them himself yet, and if he did
he would be the last man in the country tc
communicate the fact to the public. Still
speculation from some sources is worthy ofnote
and We therefore give the following from the
NV York Tribune:
1t is assumed that few LEADING elemant,
OF the problem are solved The present Cahi
net, except Gen. Schofeld, having in the mair
gwen thei- INFLUENCE toward the election OF
Seymour and Blair it is assumed that an on
sire new Cabinet will be formed But amone
the statesmen of the country who have neve,
held Cabinet positions there are few who erioy
such pre-emnence in any special depal tmenI
OF StatesmanShip as II point them out for mar
tlcular a;es in the Cabinet. Gen. Scho6eld
ex Secretary Stanton, Gen. Sherman. Gen
Sheridan and Gen. Thomas are perhaps equal
" available for the post of Secretary of War
Mr.. Sumner, Charles Francis Adams. MIR
Trumbull, Gen. Dix, Mr.. Bancroft, and Mr.
Motley, are among the names suggested fo
Secretary of State. The more important Office
of Secretary OF the Treasury naturally suggest
the names of Benjamin f. Wade, Gov. Fenton
Gov Boutwell,, and Senators Morgan. Sherman
COnkling, and Morrill,, and Mr.. Washburne
The remaining Cabinet positions call up scor

Ex- SHERIFF AND SHERIFF.-S. NJ. Collins,
Esq, now the ex-Sheriff of this county, retires
from office with the unanimous congratulations
OF his fellow citizens Of all parties. It is be-
lieved that no incumbent of this important Of
fee ever rendered more general satisfaction or
exhibited better executive ability than he
During the whole of his term, and especially
the latter portion of it, the financial condition
Of the business men was in afeyerish condition
Money was stringent and creditors urgent.
Yet he always showed the utmost possible leni-
ency O. in~o.ycnts, consistent with his duty,
and thus assisted many men out Of difficulty
who in the hands of less copsderate officer
would have had their goods under the "Sber-
ifs hammer" We speak the universal senti
ment of this community when we say that he
was one of the best Sheriffs the county ha.
ever had.
And what we have said of ex-Sherif Collins i;
anticipated of Sheriff Wilds, who entered upor
his duties yesterday. popularity as a man
I'd the ability with which he has executed
former trusts, ESPECIALLY as Postmaster in thii
town. were the causes which gave to him the
largest vote Of any man on the ticket in thii
county, Assuming the Office, as he does, at a
time when money is terribly depressed and
business, consequently, fearfully dull, he will
often have to plead for leniency toward unfor
tunate debtors.
