SALISBURY, Nd, Nov. 2d-on Sunday night we
had heavy rain, since which time the air is
cooler, but the sun shines brightly, making the
weather really delightful. We are quite anxious
to see two or three heavy frosts, hoping that
they will frighten away the few cbs which are
lingering around town to shake the boys and
girls whom they can get hold of.

Anew star has arisen in the East. Mrs. Emily
Shaw Forman, of Lynn Mass, Of whose dramatic
power and taste in literature, the Boston Aduef-
fiserspeaks most favorably, has recently delivered
lectures on '.Tom Hood, and on "The Humorous
Poetry of America" both which have been well
received She is now preparing lecture on
Francis Bret Harte, to be illustrated by selections
from his prose and verse. Mrs. Forman is said
to have delicate appreciation Of humor,a quality
not 80 common in women, and her lectures are
both novel and brilliant She will deliver lectures
in New Elgland this winter and we hope she may
meet such success as will warrant her in seeking
a wider field for her efforts To us it seems she
has struck new and unworked vein, rich in
delicious possibilities, and capable of producing
entertainments as funny as the productions OF
the word-twisters, and, at the same time, much
more satisfying and elevating, lectures which to
the backward look of memory will not seem such
flat and dreary wastes of Stiffness as do some at
which we all laugh most heartily and then wonder
why we did it.

A FINE MEETINd-EXCELLENT ADDRESSES.
Tie Republican meeting, held Friday evening,at
Newport was avery fine one and largely attended.
1t was presided over by DR.. Lukens.
J. I. Head, Esq, was the first speaker.
He ably reviewed the financial mismanagement
by the Democratic party in this State, contrasted
tile credit of the State, under their management,
with the credit of the City Of Wilmington under
Republican management. and made an earnest
appeal to those present, to do all in their power
to wrest the State from the control OF the IN
competent and extravagant party which has
brought it to the very verge of ruin He spoke
for about an hour and his speech commanded the
closest attention.
Mr.. Heald was followed by B. Nields, ESQ, who
spoke earnestly and eloquently for nearly an
hour, demonstrating the folly of the attacks on
the 18th Amendment, which is just as much a
dead issue as are the first twelve amendments;
He said that 80 far from civil and political
equality and universal education threatening our
State, the safety of the State depended on
education and Justice to all classes. He arraigned
the Democratic party for its attitude toward the
public debt charging it with fayoring its repu-
diation. and voting, last winter, against funding
il at a lower rate of interest. He also showed
that by their votes they had endeavored to pre-
vent reduction of duties on tea, coffee and
other necessaries of life.
After Mr. Nields Mr.. Philemma Chandler was
introduced and made brief speech.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Gard from VIM. Howard Day.

WILMINGTON, DEL, Nov. 4th 1870.
MEssRs EprroRs I'm yesterdays COMMERCIAL
in an article from "Kent County Democrat" ;"
the question is asked Mr.. Eli Salisbury. LIST,
" Have you not, Mr. Eli, been in secret council
with Prof. Howard Day in reference to the vote
of the colored citizen Of Kent county 2"
Permit me to say that 1 know of no secret
council with Mr.. Eli Slausbury or with any other
member of the White Mems Party, in reference
to the vote Of the colored citizeus Of Kent coun-
ty. The White Mems Party know me too we'll
to even approach me upon such a subject.
They even give me more credit for influence
among the colored people than deserve. Gov.
Salisbury, at FELTON, said last week, in a public
speech, that they (the Salisbury Democrats)
could have bought all the '.darkey" voters they
needed in the State if it had not been for How
ard Day. They certainly should not have bought
them with my consent. The colorsd people are
not to be bought, are not to be coaxed, and are
not to be driven-either by Salisbury Democrats
of Kent county, or by Weak Kneed Republicans.
Very Respectfully and Truly,
VIM. HOWARD DAY.

-
Cheese ys. Butter.

Our people may well look with apprehension
on the rapid increase of cheese factories in
Chester county, for the tendency of such fac
tories is to decrease the production Of butter.
Wilmington market has always been abundantly
supplied with butter, and the average price has
steadily increased as the supply has been kept
up. Tsis swas largely due to the large number
of Chester county farmers who attend our
markets with their produce, but If this cheese
business produces the same result in Chester
county that it has done elsewhere, this source o1
sllnply will be likely to fail us.

English "Chenp'' tand Rotten) Ships, vs.
American Work.


American Work.
From the Philadelphia North Americana
Two iron ships have just foundered at sea, both
by striking sunken rocks, and both being English
built. In the one case the Cambria was one OF
the much talked of Clyde-built propellers,. and
the line to which she belonged comprised large
number of them. In the other case the vessel
was not steamer, but the iron ship Hecuba.
1t is of interest at the present time to inquire
into the details of these disasters in order that
we may be able to form some judgment as to the
relative value of iron vessels in cases or this
kind. A powerful steamer running at full speed
would come with such force against rock, that
only the stoutest iron could stand the shock
But in this connection it must be remembered
that these Clyde-built vessels have been running
us off the seas by the reason of the chedpness Of
their construction. Journals in New York have
ridiculed the idea of our American shipbuilders
competing with those of the Clyde, and have
proposed that we should give up the contest
Clyde vessels, or giving the foreign shippers the
monopoly of the carrying trade, 1t is, therefore,
worth while now to inquire whether this cheap
ness has not been achieved in the same way that
American railroads were 30 long supplied with
cheap English rails, made out of the refuse OF
| the iron works. So far as any tests have yet
been made, it has been conelusively proven. to
the satisfaction of the British underwriters, that
| the iron used by the American builders in their
| iron vessels is tougher and more durable than
the Engllsn, ana mas tnefeIoiei sIeaoei losie'it

ITS GREAT INJURY TO OUR MANUFACTURING

1NTERESTH.
Any one who doubts that the present State Tax
law has seriously crippled the manufacturing
interest of the State, should take stroll along

woolen mills, containing thousands of dollars
worth Of machinery, standing idle. After you
pass Bancrofts' Mills. you will find that there is
not single loom running to-day. Why is this

What is the result? nothing more or less than the

women and children) from procuring employ
ment to support their families.
