There are 100000 threshing machines in the
United States. This number docs not include the
school masters and old folks at home.
Almost every paper we pick up now-a-days-
and we pick up great many-contains this one
line item -" Delaware has but one daily paper"
This is very old news. We knew it three years
ago. And lis name-can be found at the head of
this paper before you.
"A French saudRt claims to have discovered a
moral telegraph, by which child born to an in
heritance of vicious disposition or Incidence can
be imbned with vlrlu0us instincts and stullous

we hope the inventor will introduce his "moral
telegraph" into the Democratic party-they need
something moral.
This item is now going the rounds of the
press: sin Delaware they arc very imprudcntly
trying to repeal law which requires man b,

lie LATEST DEVELOPMENT in regard to
the Gold Rings Panic is that the agents of
the ring had tapped every telegraph wire
leading from Washington to New York and
thus obtained the news that the Government
would sell, twenty minutes in advance of its
formal announcement, and so were enabled
to ''hcdgo" in time to save large amount
and at the same time to create the impress
sion that they were favored by the Govern
ment with information in advance The
capacity Of the Gold Ring for villainy is be.

AMERICA NJ SHIPB UTLDING.

The inquiry now being made by Con-
gressional Committee into the causes Of the
decline of American Commerce Is develop
ing some interesting facts in regard to Amer
lean Shipbuildng. The opinion Of all build
ers of either iron or wooden ships seems to
be in favor of taking off the duty on mater
ials which enter into the construction of
vessels. The builders say If this is done
and they are given three years TO recover
from the damage inflicted by the war, that
they will have no fear of foreign competi-
tion and will offer no objection to the entire
repeal of the present navigation laws.
1t also seems from the testimony that the
cutlery by New York builders that 1t is i'm
possible to compete with foreign builders
under almost any circumstances, arises from
the fact that New York is not so situated as
to engage successfully in this business and
that the difficulties are therefore of a local
character, and we see it stated quite posi-
lively that some of the New York builders
recognizing this fact have made arrange
menis for removing to this city.
1t lis claimed that American and iron work
manship are both better than English, and
Mr.. r. +. Rowland, an iron ship-builder
of Greenpoint testified before the committee
that he ''WOuid pay more for a ship
bull in Wilmington, Deldwaro, than
for an English ship" This testimony in
regard to the superiority of American iron
ITALICS with our own information derived
from our Wilmington builders and is not
merely true of the plate iron, but also Of the
angle iron which was formerly all
imported. The recognition of the ad-
yantages Of Wilmington comes late, but
could not fail to come sometime as our geo
graphical position is such that iron and coal
can he got together here more speedily and
at less cost than at any other point on the
Atlantic coast. There is no reason why the
Chrstiana shall not some day rival the
Clyde.
Another suggestion IN regard to encour'
aging the business is that the Internal Rcye
nue. tax shall be removed from iron, and the
Philadelphia North american thinks ihi.
, should be done. The committee will, before
the meeting of Congress hold session il
, Philadelphia and hear the testimony of thu
r Shipbuildcrs of that city and Wilmington

mington, and do not see how they can pro
perly avoid doing so as this is the acknow

Our MARRIAGE LAWS have been made the
subject of an elaborate disquistion by the
DetdUaredn, and it states amongst other
things that the license law does not apply to
marriages amongst colored people but that
they may be legally married on the produc-
lion of certificate from Justice of the
Peace that they have made satisfactory proof
of freedom. If this is true, we have here
discrimination on account of race or color
in the interest of the colored people and as
consistent friends OF equal rights we object
to it. There is no reason why white man
should be made pay more than black mar
for the exercise of his unquestionable right
to get married.

THE Cantor National Convention of
the advocates of Woman Suffrage which
We publish in to-day's paper, merits, and
will doubtless receive respectful considera-
ton. Many OF the names signed in the call
are those of men and women of National
reputation, and the fact that such people
advocate this movement, shows that it has
reached such position and prominence that
a contemptuous sneer and shrug of the
shoulders will no longer consign it to obli-
won. If the Acknowledgement of women be
wrong, 1t is a mighty one, and such We
are inclined to think 1t.

TIE WORKING PEoPLE.-Mr. ]. G.. Hol-
yoke, well known writer in England on
questions OF interest to the working classes,
has been making some practical remarks on
co. cooperation and industrial partnerships.
OF the former system he says; g No work
men, one hundred in number, ought to be
without co operative store in any part of
the country He looks to industrial part
nerships as affording the best hope for the
artisan and laborer. "The fair considera-
tion by the employer of the workingmans
interest pays" When that principle is fully
recognized we shall see the system very gem
orally adopted. Tho workmen have inter-
est in preventing waste, and in doing their
work well for they are to share in the profits
of the concern. At the Wildwood colleries
the men recently had $4,000 to divide
among themselves over and above their
wages The employers received the same
sum. 1t is easy to see that strikes would
soon become obsolete under such a plan as

ONCE MORE we call the Gazette's atten-
ton to the fact that its statements arc incor-
rect in regard to the First Ward Contested
Election Case. The Council did not know
that Mr.. Dillon was elected, and could not
legally know it, and deducting the missing
votes he was not elected. We wish to be
courteous but we cannot longer attribute
these persistent perversions of truth to any
thing else than wilful desire to falsify.

TEE FIRST WARD CASE AGAIN.

II9E EIRSI WARD CASE AGAIN.
An impression is sought to be created by
Democrats that the republican majority IN
Council took advantage Of legal techni-
cality to set aside the election in the First
Ward, though there was really no doubt as
to Mr. Dillon having been elected. Such is
not the fact. After the Council had COM
menced the examination, their first duty was
to ascertain if the ballots in the box agreed
with the return of the election officers, and |
if they did not agree, then the returns ceased |
to be evidence. No one claims that there |
was any such agreement between the returns |
and the ballots. The Council was then
thrown on the ballots for evidence and the
count stood for Patrick Dillon 300 votes;
for Philip Plunkett 2sG votes. The same
examination showed, however, that there
were fifteen ballots less in the box than the
poll lists showed were cast at the election.
1t is matter of common notoriety that
these ballots were abstractcd from the box
and no one denies it, and that they were
gone the Council had ocular demonstration.
These fifteen votes were sufficient to have
