For BETTER OR WORSE. Last Thursday
evening, considerable excitement was created
at the Middctown depot, by a worthless hus-
band trying to abscond from his wife and chill
dren The truant, afraid to get on the pas
sencer car, for fear Of being seen by his wife,
was found negotiating with tho engineer for a
ride on the locomotive, when the pursuing wife
appeared upon the ground, and the husband,
getting wind Of it, beat haSty retreat up a
back street. The same husband counlc of
weeks ago, was more successful and lived a
short time with another woman in the neigh
boring State Of Maryland, but being followed
by his own faithful wife, was induced to return
to his family, but only to try the same thing
over. - Commercial.

TIE WAR ~ ECROrE-A GREAT BATTLE.
The first great battle Of the Franco Prussan
war has been at length fought and resulted in
a complete defeat CT the French at all points,
with the loss Of thirty cannon, four thousand
prisoners, two standards and SIX of their fa-
nous new mitrailleuse or machine guns These
advices are Oi:ial and reliable. The init Il
movement seems to have been the march Of
the Crown Prince Of Prussia, Prince Frederick
William, against Weisscnburg, and his capture
Of that place on Thursday last, when the two
advance positions of the French Army, in COM
mand Of Marshal McMahon was driven across
the French line. On Friday morning. the
French, under Gen. Frossard, attempted for
ward movement from Saarbruck with the
Second Corps, out WAS at once assailcd bv a
portion Of the Prus>an center. under General
Steinmetz, and after a sharp engagement. with
heavy losses on both sides, was defeated almost
as signally as his comradc, Mcmahon These,
however, were mere skirmishes. The great
battle was fought on Saturday afternoon last
when Marshal McMahon moved his army
against the Crown Prince to rctake Weissen
bos-, Out tnat commander had brought up the
whole body Of his forces, and great battle
IN u ( F. .''1co called Worth, in which Nc
y a corpletc defeat, as above
stated. 1he battle lasted from o'clock t, 6
in the afternoon, and resulted in terrible losses
on beth sides particularly the French. The
French hmperor at once admitted the defeat,
and withdrew his whole line for the defence Of
Paris. A position at which the French en-
deavored to make a stand during their retreat
was carried by the Prussians at the point Of
the bayonct. This battle is known as that OIL
Hagenau.
The following Is the French Emperor tele
gram to his official journals in Paris:

The news created the greatest consternatiC
in Paris. The Empress at once ordered Il

Again the New Ork HOrt{, the National
Democratic organ, Is pitching into the Border
State Democracy for holding off from the ne
gro vote. We make the following extract from
an editorial in its issue OF Friday last:
eve tell them therefore, in all candor and
planness that they Only riyct their claims by
further opposition to negro suffrage It is not
by negro votes that they are oppressed, but by
white votes 1t is vain for them to inscribe on
their political banners that they are white
man $ party" so long as their tyran.s consist Of
Congress elected by white votes. Negro
suffrage Is the result of a white movement.
The negro did net ask for suffrage til the white
Radlcals put it into their heads. The negroes
would vote rightly enough if the white Radi-
eals did net misiead and deceive them.
PoLITICAI. RAsCALlTY.-B T. Whittcmore,
of South Carolina, expelled from Congress for
selling West Point cadctship, is disreputa-
ble man and political charlatan. Il. Il. But
Ter, of Tennessee, is if possible, a worse man
thln Whttemore. In addition to abusing his
powers as Congressman in the appointment of
q cadet he has been accused of being associat-
ed with 10: Of claim agents who have institu-
ted systematic method of plundering disabled
soldies, widows and orphans out Of their pen
sions. They are, or were disgrace to the
National House OF Representatives and to
their constituency. To expose their official
rascality is the duty of every journal, but to
insist that they are rascally because they claim
to be Republicans as the Delaware Gazette
tries to do, shows either want of fairness or
lack Of discernment. Suppose we charge all
political dishonesty to partisan predictions,
what will the Ga:ette do with Golladav, of
Kentucky, who was kicked out of Congress for
the same offence with which Whittem0re and
Butler stand convicted He is a Democrat,
and has been renominated by his party, we
believe, for the very position from which he
was expelled for bis dishonesty, and renomina-
ted because he ras erpelied by a Republican
Congress. What will it do with Morris. c., the
prize fighter and gambling house keeper, and
Fox, the whisky ring Congressman from New
York? Or salisbury from this State? These
men are reelected from term to term By their
party upon their record, personal and political,
while the 'scalawag Whittemore has retired in
disgust, and Butler is soon to answer before
the U. s. courts for his misdemcanors. It's a
man S moral nature not his political sentiments,
that makes him good or bad.

THE FOREIGN MINERS QUESTION
IN BRIEF.

Under the Foreign Miners License Law
of this State, every unsatualized person
working mines is equally liable to the tax.
Collectors collected from Cinnamon only,
which was not carrying out the law. To
prevent discrimination between unnatural
lied foreigners, Congress passed an Act
providing that no law should be enforced
against one class of aliens which did not
apply equally to all aliens. Interested
parties are trying to construe this Act as
prohibiting the collection of mining licenses
altogether. 1t does surely nothing of the
kind, provided Collectors do their duty,
and collect the licenses from all unnatural
lied miners alike, as the laws of California
demand. This dodge of Collectors failing
to carry out the letter of the Foreign
Miners Law Of this State in regards to ALL
aliens miners, and thereby allowing the
Chinamen to crawl out, cannot put the
blame on Congress. The Collector who
carries out the State law and collects the
tax from all alieus alike, without discriul-
ination, is not affected by the Act of
Congress any more than the man in the
noon. Others will probably be guided
by their sense of duty, but if ue were
Co lector of this County, the Foreign
Miners tax would continue to be collected
and if a US. Marshal should come up here
to arrest us, and his warrant was based on
n, thing more than charge of collecting
foreign miners license in the face of the
Congressional Act alluded to, we would
start him back below in a cage, with a
coat of tar and feathers on his back, and a
