TO the Breakwater at Lewes, on the Delaware
Bay This route would pass through level
country, the character of which, as regards soil
and elevation, is most favorable to deep and
heavy excavations, besides it would afford an
abundant and constant supply of water In all
probability locks wOul1 not be required here,
but the canal would be an open cut.

but should locks be found necessary, they
would be fewer than any other route. Instead
OF following ;he Choptank to is mouth, and
thence, up the Chesapeake Bay, this route
might De materially improved and shortened
at comparatively trfiing expense-by cutting
across the narrow neck of land that separtes

and by cleaning out the narrows of Kent
Island The canal thus located woald become
grand inland thoroughfare, perfectly protect

The APPOINTMENT of Collectors by the Levy
Court Of this county, last week, created great
interest among the Democrats in this locality
and considerable surprise to every one There
was lively contest between two or three of
the applicants for this Hundred, and the com
hunity would doubtless have bet largely on
the success Of one OF the young men who an
piled for the Office, but age seems to have been
the rock on which their chances split Mr..
Halls application went in supported BY an
immense petition, while most of the ''ruling
elders" in the party from this town were
present in force at the button hole of the Levy
COurtmen But Mr.. Brown, the successful
applicant, who has mad political honors thrust
upon him before, rested his case upon its
merits, and won it almost unaided, almost to
his own surprise, and entirely to the sur.
prise of the ring against him. 1t seems
that one or two of the older members of the
Court are of the opinion that political office Is
more apt to injure than to benefit young men
and one OF them at least, Mr.. NAPLES, dis
claimed any desire to work to the iniurv of
young men. This seems to have fixed the case
for Mr.. Brown, and also for Mr.. Wilson. Of
kentOn Hd., who, like Mr. B., took his

for Talbot County, on Tuesday week sustained

by the defence to the pleas This is an i'm
portant case. When it was proposed to create
the New County of Wicomico, from parts OF
Worcester and Somerset, several prominent
gentlemen within the limits of the new county
gave bond to trustees named therein to donate
$50.O00 towards the erection of new county
buildings. This they failed to do, and this
action IS to recover that money. The Court
ruled the demurrer good on a minor point-
! that no demand for the money promised was
specified as having been made on the obligors.

FOREIGNERS AND TEMpERANCE-Wh lie
the Irish element in our population are taking
active steps TO suppress intoxicaton, especially
among the Catholics, the temperance move
ments In the West is meeting with determined
opposition among the German leaders and
press. In Illinois they denouuce Governor
Palmer for signing the recent temperance act
of that State, now so much approved every
where, by which tavernkeepers are made re-
Sponsible for the mischief they do, and in
Missouri Governor B. Gratz Brown, elected by
the aid of Carl Schurz and his Germans, is
d nounced for taking the temperance oath.
Frederick Hecker, leading German publicist
has issued an excited appeal to the Germans
of the country against all temperance laws and
organizations, and the Baltimore Rechcr sides
with him. These people view the liberty Of
their lager with jealous eye," and so long
as they confne themselves to this beverage, as
in the old country, they seldom become drum
ken or mischievOus, but when they get into
America they too frequently learn to do as
Americans do-get drunk on very bad whisky.
We think, therefore, that they show bad
system of morals when they denounce a
Governor for signing an oath to abstain from
Intoxicating liquors, or another Governor for
signing an act to protect the families of the
Incorporate. They can not expect much SYM
pathy from any other class of citizens, native
or foreign, in such denunciatiOns,

National prohibition of the sale Of intoxicating

Aaron w. Powell, prominent Quaker of

move on Thursday evening last at the Friend S
Meeting House, to large audience, in which
he said, "the petition recently sent to Congress
from a number of citizens for National
prohibition of the sale Of spurious liquors, was
received by Senator Salisbury, who warmly
approved the action taken by his friends at
home, and presented it to the Senate with his
hearty recommendation, and that the petition
Was properly referred. Mr.. p. also spoke oI
the necessity Of the interference of the National
Government as well as the State Government
as proof of which he spoke of liquor dealers
locating in Vincland, N j., where the people
