Political Intelligence.

None of the New Jersey Democratic news

very few "reliable " Democratic papers ESQ

The Pittsburg Commercial says that it has yet

not be a failure.

Local Political Gossip.

The next political event of interest, after the
meeting Of the Republican State Convention,
will be the " nomination election - OF Republl-
can candidates for Sheriff and Coroner of New
Castle County This is appointed to take place
on Saturday, the 18th inst, at the usual voting
places in the various Wards and Hundreds.
The aspirants for the sherifalty are not
quite 80 numerous as in 1870. Capt @. H.
Gallagher. and Edwin Lewis are named from
Wilmington r. Lewis Armstrong. from Christi
ana and VIM. A. Hukill, from St. Georges. Mr..
James Martin, of this city, who was also cand-
date, has withdrawn. OF those who remain in
the field, Mr.. Armstrong was the candidate Of
the party, for Sheriff, in 1863 and was again
competitor for the nomination, in 1870. Mr..
Hukill was in the list for nomination, in 1853
and 1870, and MIR. Lewis. also in the latter year
Capt. Gallagher appears in the field, now, for
the first time.
In holding this election, some change has
been made, in this city. Heretofore the whole
vote was cast at the City Hall but on this occa-
sion, polls will be opened in each Of the Wards.
In most respects, the change is to be commend
ed.
We have yet to learn of any Republican who
has declared in favor of Greeley The Demo
Gratis say they prefer him to Grant which is of
course, reasonable, as they see in Grant the head
and front'of the Republican party, and its over
throw is what they most sincerely desire. There
WAS a report around town that 10 astute party
manager among the Democrats as General Jesse
Sharpe had declared for Greeley 1t seems to

Candidates for the Legislature are beginning

fourth the population Of the State, has the high
privilege Of electing one out of the thirty mem
bers. On the Democratic side, the name of
Col. b. r. Hesler, of Governor Ponders Staff,
mentioned. The Colonel would make hand
some member of any deliberative body, and we
presume is sound on Eqial Representation
This last is the main matter, and must be the

While the blazing summer sun
Shines on her soft brown hair;
And the little brook without

Mocks with its mu1mur cool
Hard bench and dusty floor.

Grammar and A, B, G;
The blackboard and the sums,
The stupid geography;
When from tescher TO little Jem
Not any OF them cares a straw
Whether "John" is in any tease"
Or Kansas In Omaha.
F JemmJ's bare brown feet
Are aching 10 wade In the stream,
Where the trout to his Turing bait
Sail leap with quick bright gleam;
Ana his teachers blue eyes stray,
To the flowers on the desk hard by,
Till her thoughts have followed her eyes
With half unconscious sigh.
Her heart outruns the clock,
As she smells their faint, sweet scent,
Bat when we have time and heart
Their measure ia in unison blent,
But time will haste or lag,
Like your shadow on the grass,
That fingers far behind,
Or flies when you faln would pass.
Have patience, restless Jem,
The streams and fah will walt,
And patience tired blue eyes
Down the winding road by the gate,
Under the willow shade,
Stands some one with fresher MOWERS;
So turn to your books again,
And keep love for the after hours.

Greeley Insists that the Democrats viii Not
Name Candidate.

ltrom tne N. I. Tribune
The journalists who at first resolved to treat
the Cincinnati nomination as a joke, finding
their forced laughter freezing in their throats
are looking around for avenues of escape from
the disasters which confront them. Very natur-
ally, their first recourse is to the Bourbon or
fossilized element of the Democratic party
which. having rushed that party repeatedly on
the breakers foaming just aheed, is counted on
to render the same service once more. After
demonstrating, to their own personal satisfac-
ton, that the liberal movement has no other
purpose, can have no other result, than the
restoration of the Democrats to power they in
sists that those very Democrats will deliberate
ly, with malice aforethought, crush out the lib
erals, and give fresh lease of powor to our
Couklings, Mortons. and their satellites.
II is barely possible that the Democrats will
play the suicidal part assigned them by their
implacabe enemies if we judged only from
the recent past, We might almost pronounce it
probable. But the indications from every side
are 30 unanimous and overwhelming that we are
confident that no intelligent, dispassionate OBJ
server would insure the nomination of Bour-
bon Democratic ticket for less than ninety-ive
per cent. premium.
