MIR. Editor Without comment we will say
Dover Is In state of excitement. and we think
not without cause. Our town authorities are
simply nulsances. Dasardly white boys and
enl9rlated negroes have full sway in many parts
OF the town and almost all the street crossings,
especially on a Saturday night Our Alder
man Is merchant, "a man courting the favor of
al parties, and disgracing the town. 1t is
sLnpiy adding insult to injury to have an
offending party taken before him and we are
sorry 10 admit 1t, but it is the case, that some
OF the baliffs are no better.
Oh last Saturday night from about eleven
o CLOCK TIL three o clock Sunday morning, from
hfty to one hundred negroes paraded the prin-
clpal streets, armed with pistols, clubs and
razOrS, swearing vengeance on any one who
would try to resist them. a number of shots
were ured, but no one was seriously injured
We have no doubt the negroes have been
WrongfnlIy treated by town rowdies and we
know unoItendIng citizens have been shame
lntiy treated by negroes, not only on last Satur
day night, but almost every night. 1t is un.
pleasant, and also unsafe TO pass almost anv
corner IN the central part OF the town.
IL Is arranged among the colurcd people Of
the town and vicinity to be in town on next
saturday night, well armed for self protection.
Now, as law abiding and unofen ling citizens,
we we cati on the town authorities for protection.

there need be no disturbance unless some.
thing Is done our citizens will mourn their
negligence. Whiics as well n blacks. are con.

A FENIAN RIOT in Dublin, the capital OF
ireland, on Sunday, last, is creating great ex-
oitement. A monster demonstration of the
Fenians was held in Phoenix Park, when 100,
900 persons assembled and demanded the re-
lease of the Fenian prisoners Several COLI
sions occurred between the police and the pco-
pie, which finally led to a fearful riot. Order
was finally restored after fifty or more persons
were killed and one or two houses demolished

The POPULATION Of Delaware, as shown by
the present census is l25,Ol5, against lI2. PIG
in 1860, an increase of l2,799, or little over
IL per cent. New Castle co. has 2OI5 more
than Kent and Sussex combined. The nine
counties of the Eastern Shore foot up l57.3I7,
against l45,008 in 1850, or an increase of 81
per cent. The population Of the Peninsula is
therefore 2S2, 333
According to the estimate of the Census
Bureau the population Of the country at large
shows considerable falling off in aggregate
increase. The average increase each year from
1870 to 1860 was about SO per cent, but from
1860 to 1870 it was but little over - per cent.
Hence the total is but little more than thirty
eight millions, instead of forty-two millions, as
e e'timated by the statstcians. The war is the
assigned cause for the deficiency, by which a
half million of lives were sacrificed, and immi
grafton nearly suspended At the above ratio
of increase for Delaware the population will be
10000 in 1880.
