THE RESULT IN DELAWARE.

The municipal election in Wilmington +,
the principal city of the little State of Del
aware, was carried upon IA square issue of
White or Black mans Government.
The result is not without its lesson for
the white voters of Maryland, and our own
local community. The white men of Will
mington, says the Lancaster Pa) Mteli-
gencer, in some comments on the election,
including some hundreds who had hereto
fore acted with the Republican party, held
that to mix the races in the government of
city or State was wrong. The negroes to
the number Of five or six hundred, held
their meetings, made addresses, vehement
ly excited each other with false prejudices,
and were led in the contest by smart and
influential negro, who was backed up by
the entire power and energies of the white
Radicals. The result was complete victory
for the white mans party.
For the first time in many years, the
city of Wilmington went against the Re-
publicans. Six years ago they carried the
city by 600 majority, three years ago by
300, and since then by smaller majorities.
Now the Democrats sweep it by a majority
of over 500, in spite of the six hundred ne
gro votes which were cast solid for the
Radical candidates.
The victory of the Democrats in vii
mington must extinguish all the hopes
which the Radicals have entertained of
carrying the gallant little State of Della.
ware. The State has about 10000 voters
one-tourth of whom are negroes. The five
thousand negro votes combined will not
enable the radicals to succeed in wrestling
power from the white men of Delaware
The same causes which operated in Will
mington will prove to be productive OF
like results throughout the State.
The experiment of Black mans party
attempted but squelched in Delaware, is
to be repeated in Maryland this fall, by
the Radical party. 1t should be the effort
of every voter to make the defeat of the
schemers SO signal and complete, as to for
ever lay at rest the question of mixed races
in the government of this State.

REPUBLIcANIsM IN ENGLAND.
Very alarming demonstrations have taken
place in London, directed against the Queen,
the Royal family, and the,Brtish Government,
AT meeting in the open air at Hyde
Park Professor Beesely made speech Wig
orously denouncing the imbeclity of the
British Government, and charging it upon
the Queen by name, that she was encourag-
ing the King of Prussia to march on Paris
for the purpose of destroying the new born
Republic.
What the freemen of America recognize
and applaud" said Prof. Beesely, the aris-
tocracy of England support Queen who
deserts her post in aiding to atife and sup
press"
The name of the Queen was received with
tempest of Kisses; when these subsidized
voice called out, "Three groans for the
Prince ofWales." The response was univer-
sal and passionate
1t was further charged that the English
Government is hostile, both openly and Sc
cretly to France, not because it loves Ger
many, but because it hates republication
and fears that to uphold the present course
of Prussia is to uphold despotism in Ger
many as we'll as in France.
The Government in England has not rec
ognized the Republic in France, but the day
was at hand when the French Republic
would be called to recognize Republic in
England.
The impression made by the Times " and
other papers of the same standing, that the
foreign policy of the Government has been
dictated by personal prejudices of the Queen,
and the interests of her family has produced
most dangerous and general Indignation.
There was some alarm in official circles.

the old brick building underwent sundry re-
pairs but in 1890, after having stood sixty-one
years, it was taken down and the house we
now occupy erected, nearly on the same site,
and finished in 1891, at an expense of 81 ,791.
I'm the long lapse of half century we
have witnessed many changes. The country
around us has undergone physical improve
ment amounting almost to revolution.
The wilderness has blossomed and the solitary
places have been made glad. The waste and
unenclosed and uncultivated field that fifty
years ago presented a prospect SO dscourag-
ing and unattractive, fourishes now in all the
luxuriance of vegetation. The spirit of i'm
provement has shaken off the slumber of an
hundred years, and the pleasant results of ac-
tive industry meet US at every turn. To say
that our moral and religious improvement
has been equally progressive, might not be
strictly true. There is reason, however, for
thankfnlness that vice in its aggravated and
revolving forms, has never been characteristic
ofour neighborhood. Within the period ofmy
recollection dozen or more churches have
been built within six or seven miles of this
place. 1t tells favorably upon the mora.
character ofany community, where churches
are multiplied and filled with worshipers
They are like the stars that are scattered up
and down in midnight sky"
In conclusion the speaker alluded to the
contemplated Improvements to be put upon
the edifice, and drew touching comparison
between himself and the old sanctuary. Said
he:
The one you may repair, adorn, and beau
tify; but for the other, this tabernacle of clay,
it must be dissolved. For it there is no rem
ovation this side the grave. But hope to
join you all in the new tabernacle, in the
House not made with hands, eternal in the
skies"
A collection, lifted at the conclusion of the
sermon, melted in cash and subscriptions two
hundred and eighty-seven dollars, The re-
pairs have been already commenced, and
the church services are suspended until
their completion, which will be early in De-
cember.
