ExTnAvAeANcE.-The Journal and Gazette de-
fend the extravaganza Of the Democratic menu
bers of the Levy Court in appropiiating over
5000 to ex-Sherif Herbert after the expiration
of his term of office, and also in paying Sheriff
Richardson forty-tiye cents per day for boarding
prisoners, while Messrs. Stidham and Hagany
boarded them for thirty-seven cents per day
through the war, when prices for flour and gro
ceries were nearly double what they now are.
The farmers, merchants and day laborers, who
can scarcely make living, should take decided

Gun County DEBT.-The SUSSEX Journal con-
graduates its readers that the Democratic Coun-
ties In this State, are very nearly or quite out of
debt, while New Castle county has debt OF
SS0,oO0 1t should have told its readers that this
sum has been contracted in making needed im-
provements, and Notwithstanding this burden
that New Castle county paid niue tenths of the
tax collected by the General Government from
the State; and nine-tenths of the State tax, and
yet the great mass Of the people are comparative
ly well off. On every side may be found eviden-
ces of thrift, enterprise and prosperity, and the
prospect for rapid increase of wealth and pupu-
lation was never more encouraging than at the
present time. Debt is not always an evidence of
bad management or poverty, as there is policy
that gathereth while 1t scattereth, and the journal
should take pains to inculcale that idea upon the
minds of its readers II 1t wishes to add to their
prosperity.-Republican.
THrEvINe. Our exchanges down the State are
as full of accounts Of bnrglaries, robbery and
chicken thieving, as though the whipping post
did not cast its shadow over the State. A number
of robberies have taken place around Middetown
and the IrdRscript though disposed on general
principles lack Of them to attribute all stealing
TO colored men, says SIN this section. ii is pretty
generally believed that there are certain white
thieves, as well as black, who are engaged 10
chicken stealing, and it would surprise no one il
their backs should ultimately come under the
Sheriff s lash, before they are much older. Sus-
picion has been directed towards certain parties,
and If they are not first shot down in their tracks
they ore likely to find their way to New Castle.
There are many thieves in our midst and it would
appear that a little more vigilance is all that is
needed to detect them and bring them to punish
ment."

Court Of Oyer and Terminer-Judses Allison
and Paxs0ns
In the trial of Charles e. Geikler for the muir
der of David Seidman, on the Goth of last
August, which was begun yesterday, the physi-
clans testified that there were no traces of vio-
lence upon the body of the deceased save q small
tender spot under the left temple, and that the
immediate cause of death was tetanus, but they
could not say that violence produced that
tetanus. They said that the disease was pro-
duced by variety of causes, and that In this
case 1t was not necessarily the effect of any blow
At the close of the Commonwealth case counsel
for the defendant asked the Court to instruct the
jury to acquit, without requiring any testimony
to be taken for the defense, maintaining that in
an accusation of murder 1t was absolutely neces-
sary for the Commonwealth to show positively
that death was the result of the act of the ac-
cused, until which IL could not be demanded of
the defendant to prove that either he was not
near the deceased at the time he was slain, or
that he had good excuse for inficLing the fatal
blow, that some other person than himself did
the deed, or any other defense. This had been
the plain law of homicide trials from the time of
Lord Hale to the present day; and 1t was but
recently that, in the trial of Patrick McGarrigan
for the murder of his wife, the District Attorney
stated that, notwithstanding the immediate cause
of death was pneumonia, and that disease might
have been superinduced by the violence inflicted
by the accused, yet there was not sufficient GER
tainty in the evidence of the cause of death to
justify the Commonwealth In pressing the prose-
cution, and therefore at his instance verdict of
not guilty was rendered. That was a much
stronger case against the prisoner than this, and
surely If that justified an abandonment of the
prosecution, this demanded such q course on the
part of the District Attorney.
Mr.. Gibbons answered this point, and dwelt
upon the proof that fierce contest had oc-
Cured, begun by John Geiklers assault upon
Seidman, and terminated by the blow given by
Charles Geikler, after which the deceased never
enjoyed an instant OF reason; also the testimony

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Adviccs from Admiral Turner.

Special Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Rear- Admiral Thomas
Turner, commanding the Pacific feet, in ad-
dressing the Navy Department from Honolulu
H. l., on the political affairs of the Sandwich
Islands, says:-"The Government of the Sand
wich Islands is, in some respects, very mixed
one, composed of foreigners of various nations,
occupying important and influential positions In
the machinery of the Government, mainly Ameri-
cans English, French and Germans, with
fusion of intelligent natives. This anomalous
condition of affairs naturally engenders among
the various functionaries a feeling of anxiety
and jealousy lest the representative, or rather
citizen, of any one of these countries should
attain to undue influence in the councils of the
nation. Such, in brief, is the picture of the dis
cordant elements prevailing in the organization
of the Government, elements that in any i'm
portant crisis might, and doubtless would, i'm
peril the peace of the land for time at least,
before any solution could be brought about. At
this moment tranquility and kindly feelings pre-
vail among the parties, but any crisis-such, for
example, as the death of the King--would
unquestionably be attended by a severe
and perhaps fierce struggle. At such time the
presence of q vessel of war in this harbor
would, by its prestige alone, exert a most i'm
portant influence. The department is perhaps
aware that the reigning monarch is the last of
his race. By the Constitution of the country,
he has the power to appoint his successor, but
as yet he declines to do so from super
stitious scruples or fears. Were he to
die without making this nomination (and
he is not robust nor healthy man,
although still in middle life) his successor
would doubtless be the choice of whichever party
could bring to its aid the largest number of ad-
herents. 1t is evident that when this
crisis shall arrive, that nation which shall be
represented by man-of-war at this port-the
royal residence-will have an irresistible infiu-
ence in the happy settlement of the question
with reference to the national interests repre-
| sented by her flag. For the interests of our
Government, not only in this important matter.
but in relation to our whole course of policy in
| these islands, we must of course rely
greatly on the individual representa-
| tive of our country here. In this connection
| 1t is sufficient for me to say that the position
could not be filled by any one more eminently
qualified in every respect for it than the present
! incumbent, Mr.. Henry A. Professionalism with
| the history and customs of these islanders from
his early youth, unexceptiona BILE in his charac-
ter, intelligent and loyal, popular among the
natives and respected by the Foreigners

Seth Green, who is up in such matters, had
given some attention to this strange fish, and
did not exactly coincide with Agassiz as 10 its
character. The other day, while on visit to
Chesapeake Bay, he discovered this strange fsh,
OF others of the same family in great abun-
dance. They were sold in the Baltimore market
under the names of brim shad and mud shad.
In Norfolk they are known as giEzard shad,
80 styled because Of their having mucu-
lous stomach peculiar to fowls and which
is not common TO fish, II 1t Is ever found In
other than this variety. Mr.. Green, by careful
examination, became satisfied that the brim
shad or giZEard shsd of the Chesapeake are one
and the same with the strange fish in our lake.
Until better 10 found our people may adopt
one of the three names given them in Baltimore
OF Norfolk for these fish, which have been
hitherto namelese. 1t is not unlikely that ish
of this family may be found in the Atlantic bays
far north of the Chesapeake from one of which
they may have gone up the st. Lawrence. They
probably made their way from Lake Ontario
into Seneca lake by way of the canals and
rivers which form q channel from one to the
other,
