The Court of Errors and appeals con-
vened in Dover, on Tuesday last. The
Chancellor, Chief Justice and Associate
Justices were all present. But two
cases were presented for the considera-
ton of the court, viz: Henry S. NJ Comb,
ct al, appellants vs. VIM. II. Sheen, re-
spondent. Gorden and Bates for appel
ants, Patterson for respondent. This
was a case in which foot of land, in the
city of Wilmington, formed the original
matter in controversy, but as the costs OF
suit have run up TO high figure, who
shall pay them is now the bone of con-
tention. In the case of John p. Reznor
Us. Chas. f. Maclary, Fulton appeared
for the appellent and Massey for the re.
spondent. Reznor, it appears, settled
with Maclary, who was involved in debt
at the time, for certain sum of money

ANOTHER NEW DEpARrURE.-Th

ANOTHER NEW DEPARTURE.-The
Republicans are making merry over the
''new departure" of the Democracy and
facilitating themselves upon the idea
that it will have the effect of distracting
the organization, thereby enabling its
opponents to maintain their hold upon
power. Now, we lay no claim to the
reputation Of a prophet, and yet we
confidently venture the prediction that
in October next, there will be another
"new DEPARTURE" and it will not be
that of the Democratic party, but that
of the Republicans from their now
shamefully' abused positions of honol
and trust. Those who are skeptica
