SIMPLICITY IN DREss.--Few seem to be
aware of the effect of simplicity in the midst
of elaborated ard expensive artihce. Let a
Young woman, with no hair but her own, and
that simply dressed, enter a rooEl filled with
those whose heads are elaborately built up
with profusion of purchased locks. and see
who will be the most admired. 1t Is great
advantage for woman, in these days OF ar
,ifce. to remain herself, ard thus be unlike
every one else A simple dress. white or
black. will produce the greatest effect when
surrounded by the most gorgeous costumes
These serve. ms it were, as frames for the
former. and woman are often forced to con-
fess that thew have draped themselves magni-
fcently. at an immense expense, for no other
nurnose than to Eeighten by contrast the
beauty of q rival. In fact, they have been
wearing a dress which is not very becoming
to others.

TnR- ELEorIoS. oS.-Tuesday next is the
day of the Election. White Men, give
that day to the success of your party and
its principles. Be early at the polls, and
active, and see that not solitary voter is
absent. Let every man do his duty, and
remember that vote for the Radical can
didates is vote for Negro Equality, Ne
gro Supremacy, and continuance of High
Taxes and Radical Misrule. If you would
have negroes excluded from your public
schools, and are in favor of white men
ruling Delaware, vote the Democratic
Ticket. The polls open between 8 and 1C
o'clock, a. m. and close at 5 p. m.

SOLDIERS AT THE POLLS

The country is dishonored, and bears
upon her escutcheon foul blot placed
there by the hands of the Radical party.
Our elections are no longer free, but held
under the Surveillance of Federal officers,
backed by Federal bayonets. This is the
worst feature of military despotism, graft
ed here upon American Republicanism.
To Radical Congress, and plant Ex-
ecutive, are we indebted for this sample
of the dsspotism of the old world. 1t is
the foulest blot upon Republican iustitu-
tions, and the grossest outrage upon the
liberties of the people ever perpetrated in
free America, We arc amazed at the
thought that reckless cabal in Congress
shold dare thus to tamper with human
rights. Men have lost their heads for
smaller offences against human liberty,
than are contained in the provisions of this
infamous enforcement act.
The New York World says:
Itdoes not appear that the troops sent to that
city TO be under the direction of any resposi-
bic military head. They are to be stationed at
the Battery, in Union square, and at the Office OF
the United States Marshal, in readiness to be
marched against our citizens at the call Of any
understrapper of Deputy Marshal who gets il
into noddle that he may lawfully summon them
TO his assistance. The sending of troops here al
all on election day is a great outrage. 1t is a
bold trampling upon the laws of the State and
the spirit of free Institutions No free people
on the face of the earth ever allowed the calling
ont of soldiers in the face of an election. Here
is what the Revised Statues of New York say on
this subject: "lf any officer other person shall
call out or order any of the militia of this State,
| to appear and exercise on any day during any
election to be held by virtue of this chapter, or
within five days previous thereto except in cases
ofinvasion or lnsurrection, he shall forfeit five
hundred dollars for every such offence.' There
| has always been a similar law in the other States
military terorr in elections having been deemed
| by our fathers inconsistent with their freedom
The law of Pennsylvania is in these words: INC
body of troops in the army of the United States
or of this commonwealth, shall be present either
armed or unarmed, at any place of election with
in this commonwealth, during the time of such
election" There has always been a similar law
in England against the presence of soldiers in
any town where an election is held. This admin.
| istration is breaking down all the old bulwarks
of liberty, and tran sforming our free republic
into centralized military despotism."
1t deserves the execration of every free.
man, and the people, en- masse, should
hurl it from power, by the force of thel
ballots.

THE WAR NEWS.

From day to day we are notified by our
European kilograms that the bombardment
Of Paris is about to commence. 1t is well,
however, to notice that it is the intention
of the Prussians to turn their siege guns,
in the first instance, upon the forts that
constitute the main defences of the capi-
tai. They look to tho reduction of these
to bring about capitulation, and will not
open fire upon the city itself except as a
last resort. Indeed, from information de-
rived from many sources, and especially
from conversations with Count Bismarck,
it is scarcely probable that Paris will be
subjected to bombArdment at all. He is
represented, as having repeatedly declared
that Paris would not be attacked, but
would be starved out.
The Prussian army around Paris is
busily engaged in throwing up breast
works and mounting guns, and the French
army is vigorously preparing for defence.
The other armies are comparatively quiet,
with the exception of the one under Cara
baldia, at OlIanges. In the encounters
with the enemy near Besancon he captur-
ed over one thousand prisoners. The
province of Jura is now free from the
presence of the Prussians, who are going
northward, closely followed by the French.
The Landwehr, doing duty with the army
at Metz will be disbanded and sent home
An important meeting of the British
Cabinet was held on Wednesday last, al
which it was stated that Metz was sur
rendered in conformity with an under
standing between Bazaine and Bismarck,
in the interest of the Emperor, that the
Empress had refused her assent to the ar
rangement, and had gone to Wilhelm
shohe to protest against it. After a
long discussion the Council determined to
urge Prussia to agree to an armistice
without insisting upon the principle of 9
cession of territory as prerequisite.
The result of the interview at Versailles
between NJ. Theirs and the King of Prus,
sia is the offer to the French people of an
armistice of twenty five days to allow
general elections, the military status quc
to be maintained in the meantime. 1t is
understood in London that the proposal
has been agreed to both at Tours and al
Paris, but in the face of no little opposi
tion. At Paris, Gustave Flourens, at the
head of mob, invaded the Hotel de Vile
proclaimed committee of public safety
held Trochu, and other members of the
government in custody, and proposed tc
make another revolution. The interfer.
ence of the national guard, led by Jules
Ferry, broke up the arrangement, how
ever, and at last accounts the mob wal
under subsection.
Reports are received from Marseille
indicating spirit of anarchy and revol
among the people, and it is stated tina
the red republicans there have proclaimed
new republic, embracing sixteen depart
ments in Southern France.

THE BULLET VS.. THE BALLoT.-Grant's
army is in motion. Troops are marching
upon two objective points-New York and
Baltimore. The campaign will open on
Tuesday. White men, remember, that
all this marching and martialing of the
military, in time of peace, is for the ebony
pets of the Administration. Are Ameri-
can citizens dogs, or the serfs of some
eastern potentate, that they should be dra-
gooned by a hireling soldiery? White
men, arouse yourselves, and rebuke, by
your ballots, this daring and outrageous
insult to the nation. Teach the Admin
istration at Washington, and the Congress
sional cabal which inaugurated a measure
intended to substitute the bayonet for the
ballot, that freeman cannot be intimidated
by this array of military power, and that
you intend to remain free.

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE.-The
Hearth and Home, a finely illustrated fam
lily journal of high character, hitherto is
sued by Messrs. Pettengill, Bates 4 Co.
has been purchased by Messrs. Orange
Judd & Co. of245 Broadway, N. York,
the well-known publisers of the Ameri-
can Agriculturist. Messrs s. NJ. Petten-
gill & Co. whose great Advertising Agen-
cy, established in 1949, is one of the larg-
est and most reputable in the world, find
that their extensive business requires their
exclusive attention, and they therefore
transfer Hearth and Home to the new
Publishers. whose long experience and a.
bundant facilities will enable them moi
only to maintain the past high character o.
the paper, but to add materially to its value
The new Publishers also announce a re.
duction of the terms to So per year. Th,
change will not at all effect the america,
Agricultural, which will continue on indie
pendently as heretofore. The Illustration
and reading matter of the two journals will
be entirely different. Either of the jour
nails will be furnished from now to the en-,
of 1871 GA months), at the yearly sub
scription rate, viz: the Weekly Heart

The RADICAL MEETING.-Pursuant to
announcement the Radical Meeting took
place here in the Town Hall, Thursday
evening last, and was addressed by Ed
ward q. Bradford, Esq. and DR.. Frank
lin Taylor. The number in attendance
was small, and large proportion of them
Democrats. We did not hear the speech
es, but we were told, by some of those
present, that the rebellion and the negro
constituted the burden of their theme Il
was an attempt to call up the passions en-.
gendered by the war, which it was hoped
would serve their purpose in lieu of any
thing better. The meeting was not salts
factory, we understand, to the better por
tion of the Republicans themselves ant
failed to awaken enthusiasm or to inspir,
confidence. A number of prominent Rad
icals were opposed to having a meeting
hese, but they were overruled. Not
solitary black man was present. The.
seem to have been purposely kept out O
view. How they relish such cold treat
ment from their pretended friends we d
not know. but they must plainly see tina
all the Radicals want of them is thei
votes.

THE INDEPENDENT KENT TIcKET.-We
have waited to see on what basis the lea
ders of this movement would place it, and
it has turned out to be-opposition to the
Sdulsbarys. That they have belittled them
selves by combining to oppose a family
the measure of whose success has excited
their envy, must be the judgment of all
persons outside of their little ring. How
ever respectable these gentlemen may be,
individually, their respectability cannot
give character to their present movement,
which is evidently wanting in that quality.
Many of them attended the late Democrat
ic nominating convention, and we're in
honor bound to support its nominees. As
party men they professed to be governed
by party usage. But selfshness has got
the better of their party fealty, and with
fair protestations and pretentions of Gre
trenchment !" and reform" they seek to
veil their real designs, which is to elevate
and aggrandizs themselves at the expense
of their party. To do this, they have
compromised, the principles, to which they
professed devotion, in STOPPING even to
receive negro votes to accomplish their
ends. 1t has been said of military men
that when they have packed their baggage
for the camp of the enemy, they are not
long in reaching their destination. The
same thing is true of politicians, and these
gentlemen will nearly all be found in the
ranks of the Radicals. They are, even
now, associated with them coyertly, and
will ere long be so openly. The Della
warean af6rms that they have sold out to
the Radicals, and there can be little doub
that there is coalition between them ant
every consistent Democrat should trea
them as political enemies. There are saic
to be no less than five aspirants for tn
United States Senatorship, among them
and nearly all the rest are expecting t.
receive the smaller crumbs which fall from
the public table. If these things be true
it is with an i'll grace that they can com
plain of the Saulsburys.

MASSACHUSETTS. AT the last session Of
Congress, when Massachusetts, was urg-
ing her claim to indemnity for losses in
the war of 1872, Senator Bayard pointed
ly and keenly said that the bill ought to
be presented to England, for to that pow
er was the service of Massachusetts, rem
dered during that war. The New York
World mentions three several douceurs
paid to that State on account of the last
war, and says:-" Are not the United
States fat fly whereon the spider Massa
