Tho Worklngmen's institute and
Reading Room-To the public.

This Institution has just entered upon the
fourth year of its existence. 1t was founded
by philanthropic liberal minded citizens to
meet the growing wants of an ever-increas.
ing class of our cOmmunty--the working men.
We think its past history, will establish, be-
yond controversy that the legitimate OBJ
ject Of the Institution has been In the main
accomplished. From small and seemingly
insignificant beginning, 1t has gIown to be
very respectable organization. A comforta-
BILE well-furnished room, supplied with new
papers, scientific periodicals.. and other sub.
stantial reading matter; accommodation for
lecturing purposes, and social enjoyment are
the result of previous labors But we would
enlarge the field Of our operations, not only
present. foundation but by offering!stronger in
particularly to benefit. Many decided i'm
provements have been suggested which
nothing but a present lack Of means prevents
us from putting into effective operation.
Knowing that our liabilities were to be met
only by private subscription. Il rigid economy
has been practiscd in all our expenditures,
but in spite of our efforts, we find deb: star
ing us In the face. Before attempting any
further progress, it become us then to dis
charge this incumbrance. Single-handed we
are unable. We, therefore, find it necessary
to appeal to the generosity of an Interested
public, for the requisite assistance; we ask
the help of every citizen who feels an inter.
est in this cause. Confident that if this In
stitution is properly sustained, the people at
large will eventually be greatly the gamer.

THE NEeRo's 1xprpENcE THE cArsE OF THE
BEATING
In the Commercial, Of yesterday, a statement
appeared to the effect that Tax Collector Arch.
ibald given, had committed an outrageous and
unprovoked assault upon Il cOlored man. named
Charles Blackson, who had come TO MIR. Given,s
office, for the purpose Of paying his tax. lhis
morning, a GAZETTE reporter called upon Mr..
Given, for the purpose Of obtaining true
account Of the affair, when the following collo-
guy ensued
Rerorter--Well, Mr.. Given, | suppose you
saw the item in last evenings Commercial, IN
reference to your affair with Charles Blackson.
Mr.. Given-No, sir; do not read the Com
mercial bnt was informed Of il.
Reporter-I called on You, sir, TO ascertain II
the item was correct, and il not. to Obtain
true version ofthe affair.
Mr.. Gven-The item NJ heard il is entirely
false.
Mr.. Given then gave the GAZETTE reporter
the following account.
Yesterday noon as he was standing at Train
ora livery vi able, on Fifth street, below Shpiey
Blackson came up TO him, and expressed de.
sire to pay his county tax. Mr.. c. accompanied
him TO the Office, and inviting him 10 be seated,
commenced writing the receipt. While MIR. 4.
was thus engaged, the negro began to indulge
in some violent remarks abOnt the Collectors,
denouncing them for returning negroes as dead
who were still alive" MIR. q. told him he did
not wish to discuss that matter, as his business
was simply to receive the tax. The negro con-
tinucd his offensive remarks, when he was per
emptorily told TO pay his money, take his
receipt, and leave the Office. This he did, but
remained standing in the door, continuing his
abuse. BY thss time, "forbearance ceased 10 DO
a virtue" with Mr.. Given, and he advanced to
the door and threw the negro into the street
He closed the door, but had scarcely returned to
his seat when brick came crashing through
the Office window, scattering the glass in all
directions.
Picking up an old, unloaded pistol, which lay
in the drawer of his table, he rushed into the
street, and pursued the negro, oyertaking him
at Fifth street, where he pounded him over the
head, with the but of the pistol The injuries
received by the negro do not seem to have been
serious as he returned, in the evening" and
passed and repassed the Office several times
Mr. Given then went 10 the deor, and told him
TO leave or he would have him arrested, since
which time he has not been troubled with him.
If lie hal acted respectfully, no trouble would
have occurred.
Mr.. Given says he is prepared al all times to
receive all taxpayers, whether white or black
in courteous and respectable manner, but that
he will not quietly submit to insult from any
parties

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The SALE THIS AFTERNOON.-This after
noon the sale of Maryland Avenue lots by
the Christina River improvement Company,
will take place on the premises, West VIII
mington. This sale should. and doubtless will
be well attended. The advantages to be de
rived from purchasing land in this vicinity
are plainly apparent, and the lots will no doubt
find ready sale at good prices.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday last, Jo-
seph Houston, a lad son Of Liston A Houston
living withTheodore Clark near Delaware city
whilst riding on a roller, fell off, the roller
passing over lin. His father, who was work =
ing in the same field, thought that his son had
stopped to rest, and did not pay any further
attention to his stopping. Finally, he went
overto see what was the matter, when he
found his son lying in under the roller, dead.
1t is supposed that he followed to the oxen
when he fell and they did not stop until the
roller had partly passed over him, and re-
manned there until he was fOund.

REPUBLICAN MEETING.-A Republica meet
ing was held at the Institute Hall, last evening,
which was addressed bv X. Stockett Matthews,
Esq, Of Maryland. The invitation which had
been extended to the ladies to be present, seemed
to have awakened desire on the part of our
sable beauties 10 attend the meeting, and they
were present in large numbers. The assembage
as is usual on such occasions, was a motley one,
and, although quite large, greatly differed from
the calm, thoughtful multitude that assembled
there one week previous TO listen TO Senator
Bayard. In point Of numbers, iespectabili,y,
and interest," the meeting OF a week ago far ex :
ceedeh that o. last evening, an assertion il is
scarcely necessary for us 10 make. We had
intended t present 10 our readers, to- dav, Il
synopsis of MIR. Matthews remarks, in order to
let them how he would account for the
gigantic frauds pracuced in Philadelphia, on
Tuesday the great falling off of the usual Repub-
iic5Il IlaJOrItS III CnlO ana the OemOcTatlc
victory in Indiana On arriving at the Hall,
however, oHr reuortcr found that no provision
had heen made ior the accommodation Of the
representatives Of the press, with the exception
Of one small stand, the superficial area of which
was barely sufiicien, TO allow Of two persons
writing comfortably upon it.. This stand was
already occupied by the reporters Of the CON-
MERcIAL and EVERY EVENING, and hence
our reporter was obliged to retire. while the
crowd of negroes who were constantly thronging
about both doors, caused SO much confusion, that
the remarks Of the speaker were uninte lligible
from that distance. Atlhe Democratic meeting
the committee OF arrangements had made ample
provisions for all the press reporters present, but
the committee last evening evidently feared to
allow too much publicity 10 be given to THEIR
speakers remarks
