The whippng-post is not the greatest scandal
which aililcts the petty State of Delaware. With
one-sixth ofthe population of Philadelphia she
has two United States Senators. One of these is
willard Salisbury, the other James A. Bayard.
The Wilmington Commercial OF Saturday thus
describes visit by Salisbury to the house OF
his colleague
Willard Salisbury, member of the United
States Senate from Delaware, was arrested and
brought before the Mayor, at an early hour this
morning, for drunken and disorderly conduct,
at the residence OF Hon. James A. Bayard.
Officers Wingate and Baylis, who made the arrest,
ate that they were sent for by the family OF
Mr.. Bayald, who were greatly alarmed, there
being no men at home, by the behavior OF their
visitor. He had forced his way into the room
occupied by Mr.. Thomas F. Bayard, when the
officers arrived, and was lying on the floor, par
italy undresssd. The women, who did not
know HIM, Insisted upon his arrest, aud he vas
brought to the Hall, where Mayor Valentine,
after sbo ort time, discharged him.

his home, they towards the creek. After they
| had been separated but few moments, Hep
! burn heard the report of gun. That was on
| Thursday. Godsborongh was about the neigh
! borhood, but made no mention of Marsh, and
! not until Tuesday last was 1t known that he was
! missing. Search was made and his body was

the Sussex JOIIndt says:-
"Robert Goldsborougb, the alleged murderer,
is young man who has in his veins some OF the
best blood of the State of Maryland. His father
in 1859 moved TO this county from Greensboro,
Caroline county, Md, where he was very re-
specially connected. This boy has been the

to the grave. We trust, however, that some
undeVeloped circumstances may relieve him
from the guilt of this fearful crime"
Educational Movement.
The Wilmington Commercial of Saturday says:
The City Council, at Its meeting on Thursday
evening, resolved to appropriate $4,000 TO erect
q schOol-house in this city for the accommo oda-
ton of the colored schools. These schools are
now under the care of the Delaware Educa.
tiOnal Association, who occupy three buildings
for their use, in different parts Of the CITY, some
of which are very inadequate to the purpose
The association, therefore, offered to donate to
the city suitable lot on which to erect the
school, and General Howard, on behalf OF his
department of the General Government further
proposed TO add an amount of money to wards
the erection of the building equal to that which
the city should appropriate his share being by
this action of Council fixed at $4,000. The title
to the whole property will then be entirely in
the hands OF the city, giving a value of pro-
badly $4,000, in return for the $4,000 appro.
| priated.
In Baltimore, the colored schools were for
some time under the charge OF an association
similar to that existing in this Stale. The City
Council, however, though composed entirely of
Democrats finally took them under their charge,
! placed them on the footing OF the public school
! system, and now support them out of the
general taxation fund.
