COMING To 1rs MnK

The contest for Equal Representation is on.
couraging. The Gazette of this city falls into
line. 1t believes that Legislation in the dreo
81 tion OF more equal representation is desired
q and demanded by the great mass OF the people
"of this county" Sensible conclusion 1t is.
Not simply Constitutional Convention. but in.
mediate legislation. Tie GazeH perceiyes, you
observe, that this is practicable. 1t doesn't ac.
cept the Dela,cdredtis dogma that such an Act
cannot be passed by the Legislatr o. Sound
again
And so our Democratic organ falls into the
rear and trots along behind the great column
marching forward to reform. 1t does not de-
mand Equal Representation, Of course. but only
something that will serve as an apology for it ;
and it does not advocate the change because it
ls just and in the interests OF Reform, but sim-
ply in order to save its party; it is willing to
compromise our rights, and betray a portion OF
the just privileges Of the people OF this county !;
but still, admitting all this, the CARTE, fright
ened by the resolution and energy OF this dc !
msnd for Justice, decides that it must ioin the

WHAT tlTHE WHIesp DID.

The Democratic newspapers harp upon the
statement thatit was "the Whigsp who defeated
the adoption Of. new Constitution, in 1852 In
the first place, this is not strictly true in the
second the Cons titution then framed did not
give full measure OF Equal Representation
bat in the third place, what odds doe it make,
now ? Many who were Democrats, then, are
now.Republicans; others who we're Wings are nov
Democrats. One Of the most active Wing mem
bera Of the Convention was the present Demo
cratic member Of Congress he made during its
sessions, some OF the greatest speeches of his
life, alb ounding in fine imagery, and apt illus
trations.
In fact, the question Of equalizing represen-
tation now comes up, new and fresh 1t is a
movement OF the people for Reform, uhincum-
bered, and unembarrassed by any old political
questions or ancient and decayed compl-
cations of oliques and parties The sixty-fve
thousand people of New Castle county are on
titled to justice, and they now peaceably but
earnestly, courteously but firmly, ask it at the
hands Of the Legislature. The supposed or act
ual facts as to who was in favor Of and who op-
posed to similar redress OF grievances, twenty
years ago, has ne more to do with the question
now than the preferences OF the Emperor Of
China concerning the flavor OF rats. We pray
those OF our Democratic brethren, who for the
sake Of their party, mean to oppose Equal Rep
resentation, to meet the issue on its merits, and
not be running backward to stir up mor'd which
has long ago been dumped down into the abyss

THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO
RESIDE IN WILMINGTON

We confess that we fail to comprehend all
that the Milford Ne1s and Advertiser says about
Wilmington in connection with the District
system' of electing members OF the Legislature.
Cine article we refer to is elsewhere printed J
We are in favor OF that system we think it just
that every constituency ahonld choose its own
member by separate vote but we desire to
plainly say that the theory that a citizen who
ives inside the city limits OF Wilmington cannot
have, or ought not to have, equality of rights
with citizen who lives outside Of them, is a
false and preposterous notion, which may as
well be scotched at once. 1t makes no odds
where, within the Stale, man lives, his righ. g
as a citizen are the same, and for the Ne'cs and
Advertiser to cooily discuss what measure of
Justice it will permit the forty thou land people
OF Wilmington to have, and how much wrong i
will be proper to continue to inhict upon them,
if the "Distriet System should not be adopted,
isprecious cool, even in the presence OF Polar
Wave.
Lot this be understood, once for all that To-
caity confers no privileges that tho citizen Of
baltimore Hundred is as good al he Of Brandy.
wine and no better, and that the people vic
choose to live in the City of Wilmington .i. not
to be disfranchised, either because it meets tic
notion, or suits the interests of those who dom
choose to live there. We give tbs notice to al

Four Persons Convicted of Murder by n Pnper

From the Austin (Texas) Statesman, Dec. 14l
Ben Shelby, Arthur Shelby Ball Woods and
Mll'iam Smith were convicted OF murder in the
fist degree, iu Burnet county. this week. and
sentenced by Judge Tuner to be hanged on
F..day, the 18th of January next. The prosecu.
tion was conducted by Judges Terrell and Wa "
or, employed by the friends of the murdered
man. The case was one OF the most interesting
in the annals ofc. pinel t. ais, and the evidence
though conclusive WIS entirely circumstantial
Ben McKeeYer, the murdered man, was shot
from his horse at night near the residence OF
the Shelby lis throat cut, and his body carried
on horseback three miles and thrown into a cave
IN the prairie one huuC"ed and fifty feet deep
large rock was placed on the bloody sp5t
where Ills throat was cut, and apparently ever,
precaution was taken to avoid detection Tho
appearance Of the rock indicated to the keeI
eye OF the frontiersman that it had been recent
ly placed there.
Close by it was paper wadjing that had been
fired by shotgun. On examining the gun

Shelbys doorstep. In his house was found the
Cttmaey Corner periodical, and it was ascer-
tanned by comparison that the three pieces of
gun wadding had been to.l from that paper
A small fragment Of McKeever's coat, Of pecul-
lar texture found at the bloody spot revealed the
fact that the murder had been committed there
There were many other, circumstances pointing
TO the accused persons as murderers, but one
deserves especial mention. On carefully placing
the paper found where the blood had been COW

wadding found in Ben. Shelby's gun, the follow

other.
