WLMINGToN NEwsPAPERs.-H Hardly had
we announced last week that the Journal, in
Wilmington, would soon commence the issue
of daily paper, when the Gazette announce
ment reached US that it would also shortly com
mence issuing daily, to be called the Erening
Herald. These dailies, when issued, will make
four afternoon daily papers in our progressive
metropolis, one Republican, one neutral, and
two Democratic. And it is still asserted land
not denied by that paper that the Republican
will print daily, too, which will leave but two
more weeklies, the AdreltiSer and the Observer,
to decide as to whether they will confne them
selves to weekly editions or not. Such a rapid
increase of daily newspapers, in so short time
has hardly parallel in the country, and there
will evidently be some interest manifested
among newspaper publishers. and others, to
see whether the demand will be equal to the
supply. We hope it will. One thing appears
strange to us-that all the newcomers select
the afternoon for their coming 1t would seem
that with so many candidates for favor morn
ing call from some of them would better serve
the city and themselves.

DOVER POLITICS.-A correspondent of the
Commercial, writing from Dover under date of
March llth says:
The Democrats are congratulating themselves
that the New Departurists" having lost their
leader, will abandon that heretical doctrine
They say the National Democratic Convention
will not dare to discard the old issues
The Independent Democrats, commonly
called ''Pollies, are standing eye-sore to the
regular rank and file. Instead of ths. 'Inde-
pendents showing any signs of weakness, and
disposition to return to the old fold, they are
as determined as ever in their opposition to
the Ring" and many would rather unite with
the Republicans than come under the old yoke.
The Levy Court is now in session, and sh hows
an evident determination to throw every posi-.
ble obstacle in the way of getting the colored
voters assessed. FROM presen. appearance il
looks as if the United States Court would have
asplendid opportunity for teaching salutary
lesson, by enforcing the provisions of tbt
Fifteenth Amendment.

Sunday evening last. He went to church, and,
not feeling well, returned home and went to

TELEGRAPH FROM CLAYTON TO EAsToN.-
In 1869 subscription was started to build a
line of telegraph along the line of the Maryland

fell through at that time. The late accident

which exists for the telegraph and revived the
project Mr.. John L. Caldwell, Superinten.
dent has gone to work with his usual energy
and will build telegraph if the means can be
secured. 1t will cost about $4,000. The

Il Delaware railroad company will give $1,000;

amount of capital will be forthwith raised, II

delay. 1t can be put up in sixty days after
the money is subscribed.
