COUNTY,, IN 1862
SIRssRs. EDITORS Who that is familiar with
the public roads of Sussex county, and the
method OF repairing them, will not be astounded
to learn that there was allowed to the oyerseers
the tremendous sum of twelve thousand one
hundred and thirty-eight dollars and ninety
eight cents, for single year,
Comment upon this is unnecessary. Every
taxpayer in the county knows full well that less
than one half of the above amount properly ex-
pended, wonld keep the public highways in far
better condition than they are at present. What
goes rih The balance Fellow citizens of Sussex
county, we are to-day the suffering victims of
an organized system Of jobbery and peculation
that would pnt to the blush the yillainy for which
metropolitan New York is 80 famous.
1t has been publicly charged, by Democratic
speaker in this campaign, that about trenty
thousand dollars of the public money of Sussex
county was used to elect Cove Salisbury COVER
nor in 1865. do not vouch for the truth of
this, but the boldness with which it was stated,
and the fact that large sum of money seems to
have disappeared mystenously, leads the public
mind to conclude that there is indeed 'tsome-
thing rotten in Denmark"
g Straws show which way the wind blows"
and this moment learn that a suit, in the court
just adjourned, against an overseer of the roads
in one of the lower hundreds of this county, for
falling to keep the roads in proper repair, was
dismissed because the defendant showed that he
had received no money from the county, al
though the records show that the county is
| charged large allowance for this district.
An honest investigation would show condi-
ton of things in Sussex county truly alarming.
Is it any wonder that the Democracy howl
Niger Niger, Niger Adversion from
the true issues is necessary, as they well know
that candid discussion Of the questions in
which the people are really interested would re-
suit in the utter rout of the "lting."

The sussex County Ticket.


STRONG SELECTION OF NAMES DECENTRALIZATION
OF THE RINGIrfS.
GEoRaErowS, Oct. 1o.-5The Republican Ticket
placed in nomination here yesterday is undoubt-
ly the strongest, as whole, ever presented to
the people Of old Sussex.
There was full delegation present from each
Hundred, and a very unusual amount of political
interest observable. The terrible condition of
the county iinances is the general theme Of con-
yersation, and the suspicion is becoming very
strong that wholesale robbery Of the people, for
the promotion OF party ends, has been going on
for years. Honest Democrats, grown gray in
the service of the party, are heard to declare
openly, that they will support the Republican
county ticket. Sussex is ripe for regeneration,
and if our campaign had been opened here Wig
orousy four weeks ago. and thorough canvass
made the county could have been carried for the
Republicans. And even now, late as it is, won
derful results could be achieved if the party
could be induced ~ throw off its lethargy and
Ego in aud wn." We see many evidences of
decentralization in the ranks of the enemy. The
" Independent movement which has knocked
the bottom out of the Hing in Kent, is having a
silent but none the less potent influence in Sus-
sex,
The ticket made up by the Saulsburys il very
bitter dose for the decent men of their party to
swallow and the contrast presented now b. tho
new ticket, selected with great care, from the
best talent and character in the county will work
to the advantage of our cause. There are things
more unlikely than a Republican victory in Sus-
sex. OBSERVER.

The Ring Meetings.


ASSEMBLY At MENTION, KENT COUNTY.
The "Billy McNattsn of Kent county held a
wliskey-swilling at Kenton on Thursday, the
Goth. The first speaker was T. F. Bayard whose
slayishness to the Ring gave ndubitable evidence
that lie had been admitted as member of the
salisbury firm. His speech consisted of til Q
thrice told tale Of bad government i'll Hayti
and San Domingo, denounced the men of Kent
who are now asserting their manhood and indie
pendence as dishonorable. Mr.. Bayard evidently
forget to tell of the shameful treason of his own
father an delegate to the Charleston Conven-
tion in 1860, when the whole country anxiously
looked to the Democratic Party to avert the
calamity of the late civil war. 1t was James A,
Bayard who led the boilers from that Convention
up to Baltimore. and there placed purely Sec
tional candidate in the field He devoted nine
tenths of his tdN-I can not dignity it by calling
it argument-to a dead, or settled issue-the
18th Amendment.
Mr.. Bayard made great many converts to the
Independents by his cowardly attack upon those
who hitherto were numbered among his best
friends, and if he wants to carry the ''war into
Africa, there are several letters filed away in
Kent county condemning and denouncing in the
most bitter terms the leadership of the Delaware
Democracy. the dates of which are quite recent,
and the publication Of which would bring the
blush to cheeks of men in high places
Bayard was followed by Cove the Governor
The Governor made no attempt whatever t.
throw any light on the management of State ant

of the platform to the other, with sleeves rolled
up, wildly fighting tho air, believing and slab

The Maryland Oyster Troubles.

ACTION OF THE VIRGINIA HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
In the Virginia House of Delegates on Friday
of last week, the committee for courts OF Justice
to whom was referred the joint resolution
offered by Mr.. J. w. Daniel, authorizing the
Governor to release certain citizens of Maryland,
apprehended for violation of the oyster laws
reported -
"Ihat without expressing any opinion as to
the technical legality Of the proposed action, they
recommend the adoption Of the resolutions,
believing that, under the peculiar circumstances.
this course will be most likely to conduce to a
joint and speedy settlement Of the controversy
as to boundary which is involved, while it is, at
the same time, most in consonance with the
friendly relations which have marked the inter-
course of this Commonwealth with our sister
States"
The joint resolution referred to above was
read the first time and placed on the calendar,
and on Saturday was ordered to be engrossed for
a third reading.
The Norfolk yirgnian of Saturday, says
"The oyster inspection fleet, which We expect
ed in port to-day, duly arrived and brought in
tow the captured Maryland fleet. All of the YES.
sells are now safe in the Eastern Branch, above
the railroad bridge, there to remain until the
case is satisfactorily settled. At any rate they
are far beyond the reach Of any armed force
sent out by Marylanders.

IMPROVEMENTS VISITORS ESTABLISHMENTS.
LEwEs, October 2i,-In my last made NEIL
ton that until then few improvements Of special
Importance had been made in town since the
advent of the railroad / am privileged in this
to write otherwise. Some very decided improve
ments are now being pushed forward, confined
principally to tho Bank DIR. Paul A. Davis, D.
W. Brereton, d. d. hurry and Captain William
Norman, are erecting handsome and commodious
dwellings,. Dodd 4 Burton are adding fine two
story to their store house, and raising story on
the old part. When finished this promises to be
tho handsomest store house In town. W. A.
Orion is erecting large store building to To
nsed by his son, who has recently concluded to
join our mercantile community. The browning
improvements of the whole, however, ia being
made by Rev. John J.. Mckim Of Milford, on
the Bank. A granery which had stood there for
years without profit, he converted into neat
and commodious dwelling. To this he added
new part IA by 20 feet. The roof Of the old part
is the ordinary gable, but ON the new part Is an
approximation to French, reminding one, how
ever, more of the old fashioned high roof. This
new part stands ten feet back from the line and
joining up to the old part stands tower three
stories high exclusive Of the cellar and is 10 by
10 feet. In this tower is the stairway. At the
summit of the tower there will be an Observable
ry of some sort which will be just suited to the
need of the telegraph operator who will occupy
the building when completed, and in one end Of
the dwelling have his Office The architecture
OF this building is new and novel, perhaps is
original, but when completed this will be the
most attractive building no doubt in our town.
and it will be well il the prevailing style of arch
itecture be thoroughly reconstructed.
Rev. Cecil. Nimo, late of Lewes Presbyterian
Church, now of Hartsville, Pa has been spending
few days in town among his old friends. His
coming at this time was occasioned by some
young people, formerly of his congregation
whose hearts had been pierced through and
through by Cupid's keen darts, and wounds made
only to be cured by the wholesome effects of a
certain service at Hymen's attractive altar-place
They are inexpressibly happy now.
Joshua L. Head, Esq, has also been in town,
and, by his genial ways and manly utterances,
has won many hearts.
