Tax on gravel.

The Camel, paper published at 81. Mchacls
Talbot county. Nd, speaks as follows of the re-
cent action OF the 2. W. q b. r. X. Co., declin-
ingt continue taxing passengers Tor crossing our
State:--
The President Of the Philadelphia, Whining
ion and Baltimore railroad company has notified
the Treasurer of Delaware that after the first of
November, he will refuse to pay the tax of ten
cents on each passenger who comes into, goes
oul Of or passes through the State. The refusal
Is based upon certain recent decisions of District
Courts deciding the law unconstitutional. Too
long has the public been subject to this imposi-
ton, and the railroad company owe IL to the pas
engcis who use the road, in sheer Justice, to test
II in the courts. We cannot see the wisdom of
the policy on the part of Delaware of placing re-
,lrcIiun upon travel within her borders. Instead
II placing npednpnts In the way of travel and
transit, sound and discreet system Of policy
you'd encourage, by favorable legislation, the
friyal Of people from other SECTIONS. One of
;ic Delaware papeis recently stated that the State
was saved from bankruptcy only by this Illegal
lax, but We hope the finances are not so bad us
that: il they are, Eastern Shorcmen will not be
much charmed by the proposition to unite with
Delaware, under any cognomen whatever. We
arc mol disposed to meddle with Delaware finan.
cls, however, rs the Sussex Journal states that
even Their own public speakers know no more
about ii than Moses Mitllin, how much that
Is We are not sure but suspect it Is not much and
are confident that We know even less abont the
middle. But this "capitation tax," upon travel
Yrs is an imposition that should he removed; let
II lc done, and let Delaware get her revenue from
olhcr sources and not go bnshwhncking among
lir ncirhhors, /"

RELIGIOUS TOPICS.

"A recent writer in the Western Chris
tidn Advocate (Methodist) says of the Co
lumbar Col!edge located In Washington.
ID. c., and which is under the control Of the
Baptist Denomination ''It has checked in
a great measure the proselytism of the Ro-
mish church, here, by afforting facilities for
the education of the youth of our city out
side of Catholic schools Being the only
Protestant educational establishment of high
grade here, it mas furnished teachers for our
public and private schools and to-day, as
in times past, nearly every Protestant school
IN the District is controlled by members of
the Baptist church,"
This college was founded in the early his
tory Of Washington, at the earnest suggestion
OF Rev. DR.. Luther Rice, by the Baptist de-
nomination. A considerable amount of land
was purchased in Washington when land
was very cheap there which has now be-
come exceedingly valuable. Next to Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton, and Brown, the Co.
lumbar College will soon be the most large
ly endowed in the United States, while at
the present time the income from ground
rentals is sufficient to support large and
able faculty in both the classical and legal
departments. Rev. DIR. Sampson, author If
Art Criticisms, work OF some note, is Pres
idcnt. 107 students graduated in the law
department last year. The total number in
the institution is now about 400. The Bap-
lists are somewhat influential in the city,
having three vigorous and strong white
churches, Rev. Dr. Gray Chaplain U. s.
Senate) Rev. DIR. Gi.lettes and Rev. Mr..
Howitts, toward the erection of whose edl
flee Hon. Amos Kendall gave $S0, 900, and
which is thought to be the finest church eli
fee in the south. Beside these there are
several smaller white churches, and also
eight colorod churches, having membership
Of about 5000.

Quiet ms Tuesday was, considering the Intense
political excitement, last night more than made
up for 1t in noisy demonstrations.
Drunken men abuunded on all sides cheering
for anything and everything, but especially for
Seymour and Blair, whom the Democrats fondy
believed must be elected because Delaware had
gone for them.
As the returns began TO come in an immense
crowd assembled At the State Genital Committee
rooms, in the COMMERCIAL Building, and in front
OF the City Hail. The crowd in front Of The Hall
seemed possessed Of excellent lungs, and cheered
all night. There seemed To be about two Rcpub-
licans To one Democrat in it, (judgiDg IRON the
chcers) and while the Republicans were cheering
for Grant and Cotax the Democrats groancd
Justify, while the Democratic cheers for Seymour
and Blair were not only greeted with groans by
the Republicans but with loud derisive laughter.
Ofcourse, in such crowd there was some
| pretty hard talking and some little fighting,
| though there was no one hurt we believe.
| Both parties seemed perfectly delighted with
| the result. AS the telegraph commenced bring
ing the returns of the swinging mnjortics In the
| Northern States for Grant and Colax The Repub-
licans sent up the widest cheers, while the news
Of the Triumph Of sham democracy in New Castle
county was received with delight by The DEM
| ocras.
| The democratic leaders knew there was no com
| fort to come 10 them from abroad and so refused
to take Geographic news. They got enough last
month Of paying to receive news Of their own
| party defeat.
