The Old Folks Concert, given at the Town
Hail. on Wednesday evening, for the benefit of
the Library, has been pronounced a complete
success; and there has been very general desire
expressed that 1t should be repeated, at an early
day. The audience was large and appreciative.
and manifested their delight by the most hearty
applause. The antique costume occasioned much
merriment, and the effect was highly gratifying
to all present. The singing was received with
much applause, the several pieces rendered with
artistic effect highly creditablc to all concerned
The comic part of the programme was enthusias-
tlcally encored, and additions given "not in the
bills" Nothing better if as good, was ever pre-
sentsd by Carncross & Dixie, and it literally
drought down the house."
Attention is called to the notice of the meeting
of the Peninsular Peach Growers Association in

1t has been urged by. some persons who
have become dissatisfied with the Repub-
lican party since its afiiliation with the ne
groes, that new party should be formed,
with new name, and new organization,
so that all might start fair, upon terms of
equality, and that there might be no dis
elimination between members of the new
party, all having an equal chance for pre-
ferment. At
We have been reminded, by gentlemen
familiar with the course the Democratic
party in Delaware, that it has never dis
crimineted against those gentlemen who
have come to it, in good faith, from other
political organizations that they have
Jared as well, in the dispensing Of the hon
ors and emoluments of office, as the old
Democrats themselves. In proof of this,
they refer to the following officers, elected
and appointed, who formerly belonged tc
the Wing party in this State Richard

Ustick, Clerk Orphans Court; Benjamin
Gibbs, Register of Wills; Hon. B. I

no doubt, could be added to the above list
showing conclusively that the Democratic
party has not Disseminated against gen
tlemen from other parties who have come
to it in good faith Nor is it likely thai
it will do SO now, when so many gentle.
men of opposing organizations are looking
to it for ultimate deiverance from course

the expenditures of this Government from
the year 1S49 to 1859 were on an average
annually only about fifty-fve million dol
lars. Of course this does not include the
payment on account of debt. And if we
go little further back, from the year
1929 to 1889, the average was only about
nineteen million dollars. Prior to the
year 1856, the expenditures never reach
ed $50, 900, 000
The annual expenditures of the Gov
ernment in the years 1858, 1859, and
1860 were fraction over $66, 900, 900
annually; but those were the days of De-
mocracy, when the executive and legisla-
tive branches of this Government were in
the hands of Democrats, who always la
bored to strike down extravaganza in ev-
cry department Now, if we add to the
$3.50, ,000,0 900 which it required to carry on
the Government in 1859 and 1860 fifty
per cent. for increase in prices, we have
500, ,000,0 900; then add fifty per cent.
more for increase in population, and we
have the sum of $3.50, 100000 as very
generous and large estimate for the pen
diturcs of the Government. Now, sup
pose we add to this $25, 200, 900 more to
go to the sinking fund. Therefore it is
plain that $175, 200, 900 per annum will
cover everything that an extravagant ad-
ministration could desire To this add
$120, 900, 900 to pay the interest on our
national debt, and we have q sum total of
$295, 900, 600. Then, taking the Secre-
tary's estimate of $393, ZOO, 900 for this
year, and subtract the $295, 900, 900,
which | have shown is all that is required,
and it leaves sos, 900, 900 per annum the
people are taxed, more than is absolutely
necessary. Hence, Mr.. Speaker, I shall
vote to abolish all tax on incomes, and by
so doing get clear of twenty y-seven hundred
and sixty-one ofice-holders, and relieve
the people of $50, ,O00,O 900 of annual tax

Our town is now being canvassed for
this great and labor-saving. work in the
study of the Bible, by the agent for this
county, Mr.. W. Wallace Wood.
1t comes strongly recommended both by

turn readily to any subject desired, when
all the verses of the Bible bearing on the
subject will be found. Mr.. Wood will
call upon our citizens and take pleasure in
showing the work. We bespeak for it
