Lot ~ Have ssore Union.

Let uS Have Neoro Union.
The causes which led to tie defeat Of the DEM
ocratc party in Delaware are numerous They
cannot BE- traced to one channel alone; the nomi-
nation Of Mr. Greeley. But it was evident that
from the time this nomination was made that the
Democracy could not rally under it with their
wontsd enthusiasm. They were, and still are. OPP
posed to the introduction Of the negro element to
their organization, and felt . rspuguance to sup
porting the nominations at Cincinnati and Balti-
moro that amounted almost to disgust. But the re-
suit shows that there were other causes at work
that led to damaging results.
We DO not desire to attempt to trace out these
causes at this time. On the contrary We wish to
urge upon the Democracy the necessity of more
thorough union. and by casting aside all old differ
sncss local questions, resolve to stand together
hereafter in determined and solid phalanx for
the protection of their rights to local-sef govern
msnt. This can only be continued by the united
efforts Of the people, showing to the enemy large
and impressive majority, determined to maintain
their Just rights regardless Of the many schemes
rssorted to to ntimidate and overawe voters at the
polls.
There il no other way in which the people Of
O0peWAf0 can secure 10 themselves inc COntIol OK
their State institutions. There is no other mode
BY which they can prevent the inroad of swindlsrs
to psculats upon the Treasury and run the State
into ruinous debt; the interest OF which will have
TO be paid out of taxes collected from real estate
There il NO other way by which the public schools
can bs kept free from mongrelism and sustained
for the benefit Of the children OF the whites.
The conduct Of the Radicals in the Southern
States would be repeated in Delaware had they
the power and the introduction Of the negro to the
public schools would result most certainly in the
abandonment Of them by the whites. and the des-
truction Of our system 20 far a. it tends to edu.

TRADE.
keetIas Of the Executive eeaaClI Of the
Rational Board at Washington.
Suggestions, ReComnendailoss and Memo.
rlaIs-lmpoftsat to Merchants
ana ShlpowHert.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The exc
cutive council of the National Board
of Trade has been in session in this
city during the past week, and has
had under consideration various ques-
tions on which the board acted at its
annual meeting in st. Louis in De-
December last. The council has me-
mOrialized congress in favor OF the
appointment Of commissioner to be
appointed on behalf Of the Dominion
OF Canada, to negotiate for the new
treaty. The reciprocity between
Canada and the United States is on
broader and more comprehensive
basis than that on which the former
treaty rested. Some Improvement to
the law of July 80, 1870, relating to
direct importatiOns to interior cities,
In order to make the act more efh-
cient, has been recommended, and it
urges the formation of a sanitary
board of appeal to protect our citizens
and our foreign commerce from the
irresponsible control of local quaran-
tine officers. 1t also endorses resolu-
tiOns adopted by the board at st.
Louis in favor OF the gradual and
moderate contraction of the greenback
currency, and Of revision OF the
tariff system of the country, 80
that monopoly may be checked,
and a healthy competition in
trade and manufactures may be es-
tablished and native industry pro-
tected by cheapening the necessaries
and comforts of life TO the masses of
the people. The council has appeared
before both committees on commerce
and have represented the views Of
the Board on the shipping question.
The Board discriminates between the
ship-oWning and ship-building inter
ests, and urges that while much COM
petition exists in connection with the
plans proposed for the relief of the lat.
fer. the course 10 be pursued in Ieiec-
eace to the former is perie stly simple
and easy, there being no difference OF
tonnage. The judgment of the Board
is that every barrier should be
removed to its acquisition by the
American merchants wherein they
may find that which is suitable for
their purposes. The. council has
therefore presented a memorial drawn
up with great care in accordance with
the expressed and unanimous Opin-
ion of the board asking for permits
sion to American ship owners to reg
lister under their own flag for the pur-
pose of foreign trade; steamers and
sailing vessels wherever built, includ-
ing all tonnage alienated to foreign
flags during the war, So far as owners
may desire this. The memorial al
so recommends the withdrawal of
duty from bonded warehouses of ship
stores and supplies, and of articles
needed for repairs.

ALABAMA CLAIMS.
The Latest Phase Of the Ihre.tsnsd In
bregiIO.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Gentle-
men in prominent positions express
the opinion that the articles which are
being telegTaphed home and published
in the New York papers indicating a
difference of opinion in the cabinet on
the answer which has been sent to the
British as the views on the treaty OF
Washington, are calculated to weaken
the position of the United States
abroad. In point of fact, there
has not been a shade of differ
ence of opinion as to the former
conclusion of the answer which
goes out very nearly in the identical
language in which 1t was prepared
and submitted in the cabinet by the
Secretary OF State. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that the few changes made
therein were verbal, in order to give
the clearest expression to the thought
which it was designed to convey. The
consideration Of the paper at the sue
cessive cabinet meetings was, 1t ap.
pears, rather on the excuse for delay
in its being forwarded in the belief
that time was having its effect in
allaying the excitement in Great Bri-
tain This is not regarded as an un-
fortunate circumstance.

POLITICS.
More Developments In regard to the Kansas
kuddle.

Sr. LOUIS, March "A special from
Topeka to the Democrat says the call
which has been issueG for a State con.
vention TO send delegates to the Lib
ersl Republican convention at Cincin-
natl, is not as successful as its orig
inators expected. Auditor of State
Thomas and Senator Haas, of Leav.
enworth, both Germans, signed the
call, and it was boasted that the whole
GrrInan element would follow the
movement, but after a weeks work,
only a few have fallen into line, and
according to present aspects, not one
quarter of the German vote in the
State will be taken from the Republi-
can party.
The secretary of state has not yet
current resolutions which directed
him to forward a copy of the testi-
mony taken by the investigating COM
mittee, to the vice-president of the
United States to lay it before the
senate. 1t would seem as though
this organized effort to keep impor-
tant testimony out of the way during
the investigation Is kept up to prevent
anything official from going to Wash.

made to get hold of the testimony on
a pretended wish to copy it since it
went into the hands of the printer.
But it is believed the real object was
to destroy portions OF it.

RICHMOND, March Ex-Governor
Walker vetoed the act passed by the
general assembly making gold and
silver coin at United States rates and
notes of the national banks only re-
eeivable for taxes. The house, by 6S
TO %, promptly passed the act over
the veto, and the senate laid the gov
ernor's me sage on the table, where
it will probably remain until the
close of the session.

FOREIGN SUMMARY.

A LOEdOn Paper Raises Another Ghost.
LONDON, March 3.-The Observer,
in an article to-day on the Alabama
claims, expresses the opinion that in
case England should renounce the
Treaty OF Washington, the United
States would take no immediate ae-
tion in consequence, but would insist
on the right hitherto claimed for
American seamen to fish in Canadian
waters, and, on that point. would
meet with opposition from England.
The reply Of the American govern
ment to Granvflle's note is expected
to reach England in q week from
Tuesday. Russell, as a member Of
the British American mixed commits
sion, will leave New York in the
steamer of the 30th instaet, for home,
but intends to return in November to
complete the work of the commission.

Robert Mitchell was elected Presi-

Mr.. Mundella, M. P, in an address
in New York during his late visit,
thus referred to the British postal
service: ''The postal service, the
first to be reduced from the influence
Of politics. When Sir Rowland Hill
introduced those great reforms, which
have changed the postal tariffs OF the
world, he found success would en-.
tirely depend upon his ability to Sc
cure the best possible administrative
talent. To this end political appoint
ments were abolished, the selection of
suitable officers were vested with the
heads of the departments, and etfici-
ency and good service only required
as the test for promotion. What is
the consequence? The postal depart
ment is as well served as any private
firm in Great Britain. Il believe l
should be justified In saying better
served). 1t is the one department of
which all Englishmen are proud. 1t
Is unequaled for punctuality, eivility
and dispatch. It has been able to go
on steadily with reductions and
reforms. During the present year
1t has di ninished the rate for the
conveyance of newspapers up to six
ounces to a half-penny. 1t delivers
all printed circulars not sealed at the
same charge. 1t provides cards, A
inches by 81, which, including the
card, stamp and delivery, can be pur-
chased for half-penny. 1t has re.
duced the rate on ocean and c0nti-
mental postage, and all are looking
forward to the time when it will give
us an ocean penny postage. 1t gives
money orders, acts as a national saw
ing bank, conveys books, and gives a
host of other facilities. IL has recent
ly purchased ali the telegraphs, and
reduced the rates thirty per cent, and
will shortly further reduce them. 1t
took into its employ all the operators
without any inquiry into their poll
tics. Itsubsidizes a feet of more than
one hundred and fifty steamships, and
after paying all expenses Of every de-
scription, iE hands over about six mil

Adjournment Of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
to COngress-NO Traizs on the
Pacific Railroad.


SALT LAKE CITY, March 8.-The
convention adjourned sine die last
evening, after adopting a memorial
to congress, which seriously criticises
the territorial form Of government and
claims wonderfully exaggerated In
crease OF population, which facts do
not bear out. 1t expresses loyalty OF
the Mormon people, not confirmed
by history.
A resolution was passed authorizing
probate Judges to take the census OF
the territory by counties, commenc-
ing the third Monday in March,
returns to be sent to delegate Hooper
at once. Strong hopes are entertained
OF swelling the population on paper
sufficient to bring the territory In as a
state. This movement Ia regarded as
an Intentional fraud on the part Of
Fitch & Brother. The Mormon and
Gentle: most exaggerated estimates
now places the population under one
hundred thousand The MOrm0ns
hope to make it thirty thousand more.
The Union Pacific railroad Is again
blockaded by snow. There have been
no trains from the east for the past
forty-eight hOuYs. There is trouble
between Laramie and Rawlins Of a
serious character. There has been
no train from the EAST to Laramie since
the 18th of February. Press reports
from Washington state that judge
Mexican is sustained by president
Grant. This news is jOyiuliy received
by the Gentiles, but the MOrmons are
disappointed

PARIS, March 8.-=An x.prefect of
the department of Eure, charged with
the embezzlement of funds for the re-
lief of France, Is now on trial at
ROuen. He was appointed to Office
under the Empire, and since its fall
he has been conspicuous in defense Of
the ex-emperor. Ponyer Quertier,
minister OF finance, appeared before
the court last week as 8 witness, and
his testimony was strongly In favor Of
the accused. His conduct In this mat
ter produces a feeling Of great dissst-
isiaction on the part of some Of his
colleagues In the cabinet, and 1t Is un-
derstood that M. Dafoure and other
members threaten to leave 1t unless
he resigns.
