THE INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT AIDING
REFORM

1t would have been a serious loss to the Repub-
lican cause in Delaware as well as to the general
welfare of the people, if the Independent
Democratic" movement in Kent county had failed
to be organized, or had broken down after it was
commenced. The injuries wrought to the public
interests by the rule of the Salisbury Ring
are serious and numerous. Whether they have
reached such depths of corruption as the cor
responding King Control in New York City,is not
yet known, but that there is good reason for a
general public alarm is certain.
Now these facts will be developed, by the Kent
movement, in a manner Which must bring CON
yincement to every candid Democrat in Delaware
No Democrat, be his party ties ever so strong,
can afford to disregard the statements of John
A. Nicholson or Edward Ridgley, nor can he
pretend to despise the earnestness and import
ance OF the assault which they are making upon
the Salisbury domination. The plain and truth
full statements of Republican newspapers and
speakers should be sufficient to at least awaken
inquiry, but the additional force which the peo-
PIES demand for Reform must receive from this
influential and imposing body of Democrats, who
now make 1t the ground of refusal to support
their regular nominations, will surely carry it to
nm overwhelmingly successful issue at the polls
in November.

The Democratic Divisions in Kent Couu,v.

The Democratic Divisions in Kent County.
The Independent Democrats of Kent County
have, as will be seen by the published proceed
ings of their meeting Thursday, nominated a
full ticket for County Officers and Legislature.
Two of them are on the Salisbury Democratic
ticket-Samuel B. Cooper, Of North Murderkill,
for Legislature, and William H. Hobson, of Lit
tie Creek, for Levy Court All the others are
new men.
The resolutions adopted we commend
to the careful attention of the peo-
pie of the State. They are positive
precise, and strong. They confirm all that
we. have ever charged in these columns, as
to the bad and reckless course of the State adj
ministration They are the confessions of DEM
ocrats about the iniquities practiced by the DEM
ocratic leaders; let every Democrat in Delaware
contemplate the picture they present.
The speeches of Messrs Nicholson, Ridgley,
and Watson are equally strong in their indict
ment of the present corrupt and extrayagant
State government. They present some start
ling statements, to show the necessity for Re.

VILLAGE AFFAlRS-DEDICArIoN OF A NEW CHURCH.
CoNcoRD, SUSSEX Co., Oct 10.-I do not read
IN your excellent paper any communication from
tins little village, said to have been finished and
fenced III years ago, and have supposed that
Your readers would not object to u few lines
from it.
The citizens of Coneq&l, willie they admire tile
spirit and enterprise with which you conduct
Your paper, do not sympathiZe with its objects,
they being mostly democratic. Batting their de-
Notioh to the nlost cause they are set of
pretty clever fellows.
We have here post Office two phvsicians. n
blacksmith and wlleelwright shop, one Touring
mil and two saw mills, con one of the back
streams in the country two stores, and last,
though perhaps not least, but worst of ALL a
ftin-shop, by way of change, not having been
cursed with one before for several years.
II is thought the place will improve rapidly
WHEN the railroad is built from Seaford to
Georgetown AZ it must run near here. The
greatest event that has TRANSFERRED here for some
time came off Sunday last 9th inst, when the

Gated Tie day was all that could be desired,
beng clear and pleasant, and it is hard to tell
who performed his part the best. The preach
ing was all that could lie desired, the preachers
being Hevs, Mr. Merit, Todd and Sypherd. The
begging was also well done by the pastor Rev.
J: j.. Mann, and so was tho singing, led by John
NJ. Davis, and the giving was equally well done,
the entire amount required to free the church
from debt, SiO5n beng raised. II was said by
many that the above sum could not be realized.

greSation had already subscribed literally, and
some of the churches around that had BEEN as.

sed to pay back, Though others did), vet il was
done without much trouble, and to the satisfac.

ANOTHER GREAT REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH

This is another bad year for Democratic
crop. Either the summer heats were too severe,
or the recent rains too heavy, or the fall frost
came too soon, or some other unfayorable cir
cumstance affected our opponents at any rate,
the budding hopes of their great expectations
have been blighted. They have failed to make
any material gains OF Congressman, at the oc-
tober elections, and they have probably lost
several Of their own districts.
The substantial results of the success, on the
part of the Republicans, are these:
l. They retain their great preponderance in
one-fourth of the whole House of Representa-
tives.
Q. This proves that they will have, in the next
Congress, as in this, heavy majority.
8. 1t shows, still further, the continued
strength of their party, and foreshadows, plain
", the election of Republican President III
1870.
4. The result proves the continued inability Of
the Democratic Party to repair its shattered
fortunes.
8. The Republicans retain control of the State
government in the five great States of Pennsyl-
yania, Ohio, Indiana Iowa and Nebraska.
6. The staunch fidelity of the colored citizens
to the Republican organization and principle,
receives new proof

SERIOUS FIRE on MONDAY EvENINa-THE OMNIBUS
LINE, &c.
CHESTER, Oct. 10.--Iiast night, Just outside
the city limits, at the brickyard Of Mr.. Baker, a
barn was burnt, consuming quantity Of hay,
grain, harness. &c., supposed to be incendiary,
or careless smoking, most likely the latter.
When will those addicted to smoking keep it to
themselves, and not endanger or annoy others !?
One of the principal causes of fires in stables
and barns is that same smoking, and one Of the
worst annoyances in our streets, depots, and
other pnblic places, is the putting of tobacco
smoke into ones face from some dirty pipe or
no less offensive roll Of bad tobacco-leaf. This
has become nuisance, and even those who es-
TEEN themselves gentlemen commit an offence
without seeming to think it can be 30. May the
time speedily come when the rights Of minorities
will be respected in this matter.
Our omnibus line is suocess-made 80 by the
ample patronage Of our citizens. Even the ear
ly morning coaches are full of those going to
business or to market. And that reminds one of
the terrible prices of all kinds Of marketing II
it gets much higher people must stop eating at
least at the luxurious tables we have been accus-
toned to. Our markets are well supplied but
woe to the purse that opens to satisfy dainty
appetite, O.

Republican county ticket is likely to be placed in
the field in Kent county, this fall. The reasons
for this decision are not by any means indicative
of lack of Republican enthusiasm for the
State ticket and the great principles of our party
but such as have addressed themselves to the
members of the party organization there and are
believed to be good,in the present situation OF
affairs. From one end OF the State to the other
there is cordial unanimity and hearty support of
Coursey and Head. We are bound to win.

some Republican Ontrnscs

We wish Democratic journals, instead of all
the while dealing in gloomy generalities in re-
spect to the outragos tho Republican party have
committed, would sol forth tho facts 70 that
everybody might understand them. According
to the gloomy generalities referred to, there
never was such wicked party as the Republic
can but nasmuch as this wickedness is all of a
general, ill-deiined nature we propose to go into
the details of the subject, and specify some OF
the outrages which make tho Republican party
worthy the deep condemnation of the public.
No one who would not dispute against tho sun
will deny that for the following. vicious wicked,
and wrongful measures and deed, tho Republican
party is responsible before tho bar OF the people
/. The homestead law.
2. The emancipation of four million slaves.
8. The,suppression of wicked rebellion, i'll
which was included not only vast military opera
tons, but the maturing and successful operation
of financial system which preserved the ma
tional credit from ruin, and greatly aided public
prosperity.
4. The construction of a railway. to tho Pacific
ocean.
5. The reconstruction OF tho Southern States
on tho principles of Justice and freedom.
o. Tho reform Of tile system of conducting the
public offices, whereby immense SUMS Or nforey
arc annually saved to the people.
7. The destruction of Indian and other rings,
whose plunderings of tho public funds had been
vast and constant
y. The Inauguration of ali Indian policy al
oHce just, uutllhie, anu successful pulcN
which seems destined to solve in the interests Of
civilization, a problem that has perplexed ant
eluded our craftsmanship, from the foundation
| of the government
| o. The reformof the revenue system, whereof,
taxaion is largely reduced, and tho way payet
| for further reductions, to the Invaluable beneii
| of the trade and commerce of the country.
10. The salvation of the people from wild
cats and their accompanying periodical inancia

| II. The maintenance of the national credi

| IL. The establishment of complete poiitica

whereby freedom and Justice are secured forever
| Such arc some Of the more notable measure
| and deeds of the Republican party. II they b.
| fully reflected upon, and their practical result
considered it will be seen that they have don,
more for our people, and arc more beneiicent il
