The Court House at New Castle was crowded

to listen to addresses on the issues of the cam

by several Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
VIM. J. Harvey, Esq, of Chester, son of our

His speech lasted about half an hour, and was
listened to, attentively.
Edward G. Bradford, Esq, followed, in aspeech
of over an hour, in which lie earnestly and eifec-
lively argued the issues Of the campaign. Tho
Democratic Party now asks the control of the
country to be handed over to its possession, yet
it has shown itself utterly unworthy the trust

Republicans, and sharply denounced the fraud

AS the train which reaches here at p m. was
approaching Bellevue on Saturday the body of
man was discovered on the track. The train was
stopped, when on examination it was found that
only the trunk was on tho track the head having
been cut off and rolled down the enbankment.
The bodyand head were put together and brought
to this city where an inquest was held on the
remains.
Some sailors on the U. s. Cutter here recog-
nized the corpse as that of Frank Collins Of
Philadelphia, and said that he had been on the
Cutter and they had given him his dinner that
day, and the suppostion is that he had hidden
himself on freight train to ''stea ride to
Philadelphia and had fallen off with his neck
beneath the wheels. His people are said to live
in West Philadelphia.
The Coroner, we believe, buried the body,
though the probabilities are that 1t will be sent
for At least, he said that was his intention. 1t
is singular, if it be true, that this officer has no
place at his disposal where bodies may be kept a
short time for recognition,

Tho Dover D,i,twG,Yds, organ of the Sauls-

uiy, says
at is true that owing to the failure of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad
Company to pay its taxes the funds in the treas
ury haze been extremely low, and that at this
time because il is not the time OF year for max
ing payments, the states margin is small, yet
we can assure tlie pubic, on tile best authority
that the state i'rcisuier has funds TO his credit
sufficient to meet nil drafts likely to be made
upon him, and reserve of S4S00o, in Railroad
bonds, which can DO turned into cash at any
time. The School fund is intact, and all dvi-
dcnds haze been promptly paid The State in
due time will obtain judgment against the Phila-
delpha. Wilmington and Baltimore Company,
and will doubtless recover not only the taxes
collected out OF passengers and held by the COM
pany hut all back taxes, amounting i'll the ag-
gregatc to near quarter of a million of dollars.

man and refusing to don any other costume. A

masculine nature. For twenty years this singu-
