Alleged Blnels-Mailing Operations.

wILMINGToNIAN IN TROUBLE.
The facts of a somewhat extraordinary case of
alleged blackmailing have been in our possession
for some days, but were withheld, by request.
1t appears that young manufacturer of this
city, a married man, is charged by man named
John Cross, who with his family formerly resi-
fled in this city, with the seduction of his daugh-
tor. The offence is alleged to have been com
mitted here. The young man positively denies
the charge and it il alleged that the character
of the, family was not good
Some months ago, Cross procured the arrest
of the young man in Philadelphia, but the latter
obtained his release, upon the payment of $3.50.
The character of this proceeding we do not un-
dertake to explain.
On Thursday Of last week, two lawyers from
Philadelphia appeared here and going to New
Castle procured a cdpidS for the arrest of
fthe young man, upon claim for
made by Cross on the ground of
sbsing the services of his daughter by her seduc-
;tion. Upon this the man arrested, the bail
shaving been marked at So, 000 While in custody
swaiting for friend to go his bail, offers were
4made to him Of settlement, and several sums, it
is stated, were named from S700.to 81 500.
n. Finally he gave the lawyers three judgment
notes one for $500, two for 5000 cash, and
check for $500, and these they took away, giving
/ him "a receipt. His friends, however, allege
shat he was drunk when these were given, and
the check has not been paid, and notice has
been published in Philadelphia that the snotes
will not be- Thus the case stands at present.

JOHN II. COUGHS IDEAS ON WHAT PAYS AND WHAT
DOESN'T.
About twelve hundred of our best people were
at the Opera House, last evening" to hear Mr..
Coughs lecture on VIII II Pay" The Boxes,
Parquet, and parquet Circle were filed, and the
Balcony nearly so. (Ilet us mention, just here,
that the front row of seats in the Balcony arc
among the very best in the house.)
Mr. Cough was introduced by John II. Adams,
Esq We shall not attempt any summary of his
lecture 1t abounded as all his addresses do, in
passages of alternate pathos and humor. In
answer to the question . Does it not pay to get
money!" he said very trnly that it depended on
hon it was got and how it was used. 1t did not
pay to be always taking gloomy view of things ;
rudeness, practical jokes, beginning to drink, do
not pay.
Among the things that do pay, Mr.. Cough
enumerated the nobler and higher actions of life,
and added the trip to California, and visit to
the Yo Semitic valley to the list The beauties
and grandeur Of the latter afforded him oppor-
tunity for some most brilliant and eloquent de-
scripive passages. He concluded, amid much
applause, after speaking about one hour and
forty minutes.
Mr.. Cough speaks in the highest terms of the
acOnstic excellence of the Opera House, and was
understood to pronounce it the best he ever
spoke in He lectures in Baltimore, this even
ing. During his stay in Wilmington he was the
guest of John II. Adams, Esq.

TO INVESTORS.

The T-sO bonds OF the Northern Pacific Railroad
which have now taken their place among the solid
and favorite securities OF the country have the fol-
lowing leading features
They are first and only mortgage on the road, Its
equipments and earnings, and, also, as fast the
road is completed on 1000 acres OF land tn each
mile Of track; they bear interest at the rate OF g.
10 per cent both principal and interest are payable
in gold, the principal In thirty years from 1870 and
the interest semi-annualy (January and July,) at
the banking houses Of Jay Cooke 4 Co., Philadel-
phia, New York, and Washington.
They are exempt from United States tax, and are
issued of the following denominations: Coupon,
$1Oe, $500, and 81 OOO Registered $780, $780, $1,000
5000 and $40 900. They are at all times receivable
at ten per cent premium d.10) in exchange or pay
ment for the Company's land at the latters lowest
cash price The proceeds Of all sales Of lands are
required to be devoted to the purchase and cancel
lation of the First Mortgage Bonds of the Compa-
ny. The Land Grant Of the Road, exceeding Fifty
Million Acres, constitutes an Immense Sinking Fund
which will probably cancel the principal Of the
Company's bonded debt before it falls due.
U. S. 5-2Os, Delaware State bonds, Wilmington
City Loan and all other marketable Stocks and Bonds
will be received at their highest current price in
change for Northern Pacific 7-S0s.
With the same confidence with which they recon-
mended United States Government Bonds to the

curites to all classes as au investment combining

BY JAMES PARTON.
Only three days of the session remained. On
the blank leaf of an old Cooke upon Lyttleton"
perhaps JeiTerson's own copy-the new MEM
Der wrote his celebrated live resolutions, of this
purport We Englshmen living in America
have all the rights of Englishmen living in Eng
land the CHI of of which is, that we can only be
taxed by our own representatives; and any at
tempt to tax us otherwise menaces Brtish liber-
ty ON both continents. In all probability Jeffer-
son knew that something of the kind was in
tended on that memorable day, for he was pres
ent in the House. There was no gallery then.
nor any other provision for spectators; but
there could be no objection to the friend and
relative of so many members standing in the
doorway between the lobby and the chamber;
and there he took his stand. He saw his tall,
gaunt, coarsey attired guest rise, in his awkward
way, and break with stammeTing tongue the si-
lence which had broOded over the lOudest de-
bates, as week after week of the session had
passed He observed, and felt too, the thrill
which ran through the House at the mere intro
duction of a subject with which every mind was
surcharged, and marked the rising tide of feel
ing as the reading Of tho resolutions went on.
until the climax OF audacity was reached in the
last clause of the last.
How moderate, how tame, the words seem to
US! Every attempt to invest such power (of tax
auon)m any person or persons whatever, other
than the General Assembly aforesaid, has a
manifest tendency to destroy British and Amer
lean freedom" Ravishing words to the Wing
members from Albemarle and the other west
ern counties. Sound as old Coke himself, in
the judgment of our spell-bound listener in the
doorway. Words of fearful import to the Tory
lords of the eastern counties. Not approved, as
yet by George Wythe, nor by Peyton Randolph,
whom the student held in so much honor.
When the reading was finished, he heard his
friend utter the opening sentences Of his speech
with faltering tongue, as usual and giving little
promise of the strains that were to follow. But
it was the nature of this great genius, to rise to
the occasion Soon Jefferson saw him stand
erect, and, swinging free of all impediments,
launch into the tide of his Grafton, every eye
ccaptivated by the large and sweeping grace OF
his gesticulation every ear charmed with the
swelling music of his voice every mind thrilled
or stung by the vivid epigrams into which he
condensed his opinions. He never had a listener
80 formed to be held captive by him as The stu.
dent at the lobby door, who, as a boy, had found
the oratory of the Indian chief no impressive
and could not now resist a slurring translation
OF Osslans majestic phrases. After the lapse oi
hfty-nine years, he spoke of this great day will
enthusiasm, and described anew the closing mo
ment of Henry's speech, when the orator, in
terrupted by the cries of Treason uttered the
well-known words of defiance " II this be trea
son, make the most of it !"-From lie Atianti,

AN EXTENSIVE MANUFACTURING EsrABLIsInIENT
STOPPED.
The bolt and nut manufacturing works Of Van
Rensselaer, II Moore in this city, have been stop
ped for some time, and number of worlsmen
thrown out of employment. The etoppage is
caused by the financial failure of the owners
The senior partner Mr.. Van Rensselaer,, lives in
Brooklyn, and proceedings to compel tile firm to
go into involuntary bankruptcy have been COM
menced there, by parties holding the firms
notes for some 5ll 900. These notes, it is said,
were given soon after the partnership was form
ed, to the wife Of the senior partner, and, with
mortgage Of $4,000, given to his brother, reduced
the capital of Mr.. Van Rensselaer, in the concern
to some $1,000 or $S000 The other creditors are
understood to deny the validity Of these notes.
The firm assert that their assets are about
equal to their liabilities, and place the figure at
$4,000. Among tho creditors are several of
our iron manufacturers rs and dealers. the largest
claim being for some $4,000 or 1000, by one
of our rolling mills.

resident in the vicinity Of Smyrna, was almost
instantly killed in that town. He was run over
on the track of the branch road to Clayton by
a car which WAS being pushed in front of the
engine of a freight train, and was so badly man
gled that he lived but a moment or two. No
one saw him or knew of his danger, till he ut
tered cry, at the instant Of his being struck,
and it is presumed he was intoxicated, and had
fallen on the track.
Register was somewhat notorious for having
unproyokedly shot a coored man, at the kits
Hammock beach, in Kent Co., some years ago.
The act was very cold-blooded, but the jury re-
fused to convict him of murder His sentence
included whipping, but Governor Salisbury in
terposed and remitted this, and after nominal
Imprisonment of year or two pardoned him al
together. He was man Of gross temperament
and intemperate habits.
