On Thursday afternoon last Senator Bayard
and Governor Salisbury made speeches at
Kenton. The weather was very inclement
and the attendance small. In the. evening
Senator Bayard spoke in the Town Hall, here.
The hall was not more than two-thirds full,
and the audience was remarkably ietargic.
Sam'l Townsend followed Mr.. B., and was {" as
q
Radicals held the reins of government much
longer they would vote mules Mr. Shadrack
j. Raughley also made few remarks. The
music of the Dover band was the best part of
the meeting. We noticed some Salisbury pets
in the Hall who have said they would never
enter the building except to attend an election
or funeral Was that political funeral, or
have the parties, seeing that their foolish re-
solve hurt no one but themselves, concluded
it were better in the breach than the observ-
ance?
The Independent Democrats held meeting
at kentOn on Saturday, which was largely at
tended. Messrs. Nicholson, Ridgely, and
Reed spoke. The latter had documentary evi
dence showing that Governor Salisbury had
received 100000 from France, Broadbent &
Co., for his influence in securing the passage
OF lottery grant through the Legislature, thus
selling out the honor and credit of the State.
A crossroads meeting was held at Clayton
the same afternoon, by the Saulsburyites, ad
dressed by Messrs. WalcOtt, Raughley and
others.
The Sausburyites and Maryland Democrat.
are to hold joint meeting at Marydell on Sat
bleton and James l.. Martin, esqr, of Mary

A Suggestion for the Town.

Nh. Editor: The confusion and DELAY oh
served at the last two fires by which our citi-
zens have suffered, were so obvious, and at
the burning OF the property upon Commerce
street, were so evidently the cause of much
unnecessary loss, that it is important at once
to remedy, as far as possible, these defects in
the efforts of our people to protect themselves.
1t would not be well to organize a Company.
because the members of such organizations are
too often tempted to make occasions for dis
playing their skill. 1t would answer everv prr
pose to provide C6tcerS to take charge of the
hre engines and other apparatus belonging to
the Town, and direct their use when a fire oc.
ours. Three would, perhaps, be sufficient
Fire Marshall who should have general com
mand when present, and two Captains, one for
each engine, either Of whom should Control
all the apparatus in the absence of the other
officers. This would prevent confusion and mis-.
directed labor, if the officers be men of iudge-
ment, and such can readily be found for the
positions. A cause of dangerous delav has
been the absence of supply of buckets belon1-
ang to the Ioton. AT least two, and probably
three buildings were lost by the tardy arrival
OF buckets as well as OF the engines, upon the
ground when the shops and dwellings, unon
Commerce ST., were destroyed. A fire doea
not wait tor the collection of these cheap. bnt
indispensable assistants from owners often re.
Iuctant to part with them. Two hundred good
buckets, branded with the name of the Town.
would prevent this loss of time, and their cost
would be less than 500. The Town has nrob.
ably sufficient engines, hose, and ladders. IF
the hooks are repaired, the buckets purchased,
and the proper officers appointed, we shall be
as well protected against this fearful element
OF destruction as is necessary in country town,
but the improvements suggested are actually
demanded for the safety of the property of our
community. The Town Commissioners meet
soon, and we hope that this subject will have
their careful and prompt attention. s.
Smyrna times., 1870-10-26

Several years age, when the Times charged
the Sausburys and their organ with compli-
cty in the lottery swindle attempted to be fois-
ted upon this State, said organ desired us to
"speak right out in meeting if we knew any
thing We can now comply with its modest
request. The documentary evidence has been
produced by prominent Democrats of the coun-
ty showing that Governor Salisbury was paid
the snug sum Of $6O,00O for his aid in lobby
ing the France, Broadbent T. Co. lottery scheme
through the Legislature. Fortunately the
State was afflicted with the scheme but for a
short time. Thus the man who fills the Executive
Chair of our State, not satisfied with his emol-
uments, perquisites and pickings from its we'll
bled treasury, was willing to sell his influence
for the accomplishment of an act which might
have robbed the Commonwealth, the hand that
feeds him, of its honor and good name. He
who robs me of my purse" etc.
