A CASE EASILY UNDERSTOOD.

If the Democratic Party OF this State will com
pose their State Conventions according to the
population of counties and hundreds, and will
then pass a resolution in their State Convention
unqualihedly pledging themselves to re-appor-
ton the Legislature on the basis Of population
then we will admit the possibility that Equal
Representation does not depend on Republican
success. But until at least that much happens,
the dulles intellect, unless it has motive for mol
seeing, can easily perceive that to urge Equal
Representation, and disparage the Republican
party, is to knock down with one hand, while
pretending to set up, with the other.
Our object, in the discussion of this question
is to effect some practical result, and not to
merely vapor over the subject. Hence we have
treated, with proper degree of ridicule the in
sinuated or expressed threats Of violently defy
ing the laws, and forcing by revolutionary means
an amendment Of the Constitution. II all
other methods of obtaining redress should fail
mon of true courage may be driven to that, but
to propose civil war, before peaceful meas
ures have even been tried, would be criminal, if
it were not 80 entirely ridiculous.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS

Inc smyrna Times, OF the 9th INST, says
In connection with the suggestion that the
Congressional candidate on the Republican
ticket be selected from either Kent or Sussex.
we hear the names of Geo. V. Massey and Dr.
Isaac Jump, of Dover Jas. r. Loaand, of Mil
ford, and Col. Jacob Moore, of Georgetown, sug
ested."
II it be decided that the nomination is not to
come from New Castle county, any one of the
gentlemen named above would be satisfactory
candidate, on whom, no doubt, the whole
strength Of the Republican vote could be con-
centrated Perhaps our friend Mr. Massey will
pardon us for saying that if the candidate comes
from Doyer,we should be glad to have the pleas
ure of voting for DR.. Isaac Jump, Republican
whose laborious service for the success of our
principles well merits the honor.
Little h as been said in this end of the State,
on the subject. The COMMERCIAL considers that
Mr. Head, who made a strong and energetic
canvass in 1870, is now entitled to renomina-
tion, if he desires it. If lie declines to be a
candidate, we are sure, as already stated, that
either DIR. Jump Mr.. Massey Mr. LoAand, or
Mr.. Moore, would have the hearty support of
the whole Republican vote. Mr.. Moore has ele-
ments Of strength in his own county which would
be Of service in the important campaign ap-

Our -Four Newspapers. All Daily.

Mr. Johnson, of the Gazette, does what we
have long expected him to do-announces daily
edition of his paper. He will bring it out, soon,
call it the Wilmington Herald and season it with
sound precepts of Delaware Democracy. 1t will
be penny afternoon paper.
We confess we look upon the rapid increase
of daily newspapers in Wilmington, with lively
feeling of satisfaction. The time was when the
COMMERCIAL, as 0ssian said of the Sun, moved
alone, and SO many wise people prophesied itf
demise, that none other was ambitious or bold
enough to be the companion of its course. Now,
however the spell is broken the proprietors of
EUery Eoening, whose developing powers, the COM
MERcIAL had the honor and pleasure of directing,
led vigorous swarm to the new hive, and estab-
lished the second daily then the President of
the Board Of Health announced the third and
now Mr.. johnson proposes soon, to launch the
fourth. All these are testimony to the enter
prise of the COMMERCIAL, and we shall watch
their infantile steps with great interest We
hear it whispered, indeed that Mr. Vernon, of
the Republican, will print daily edition from
his office, and the public have long looked for
one, from the Advertiser. II these likewise,
should appear, Wilmington will be as famous for
daily papers as it is for its churches, it's iron
ships, it's opera house, new hotel, and great
Western Railroad.

What to Do in Emergenc,es.

If person falls in fit. and begins to snore
loudly, with a very red face, it is appOpleXv.
Let him be seated so as to favor the blood going
downward, away from the head applying cold
cloths TO the head, or cushions of equal quanti-
ties Of snow or pounded ice and common salt.
If the person is perfectly still, face pale, and
there is no perceptible breathing, it is fit of
faintng. Do not touch him except to loosen
the clothing then keep Oft five or ten feet dis
tant so as to allow the air to come in make no
noise and there will very soon be a calm,
quiet return to consciousness and life, for it is
only a cessation OF the circulation of the blood
to the head. But suppose there is a very violent
motion of the hands and feet and all sorts of
bodily contortions it is epilepsy. Let the man
comfort until he is tired you can't hold him
still F; all your efforts only tend to aggravate
the trouble and to exhaust the strength all
that ought to be done is to keep the unfortunate
man from hurting himself. There is no felt
suff ering. for as soon as he comes too he will
tell you that he remembers nothing whatever of
what has passed, appears to be the only calm
and self-posesaed person in the whoecrowd, and
is apparently az perfectly well as before the oe-
currence. Dizziness often comes instantaneous
ly, and we begin to reel before we know it, Shut
the eyes, whether you are walking along the
street, looking over precipice, ascending a
ladder, or climbing ships masthead the fear
Of dizziness disappears instantly if you look up

A oBEAr CHANGE N THE CInIArE. =

lAdBEAT CHANGE IN THE CLIMATE. = Al
IFrom the MY. Tlmes.1
Not only are our Summers shorter than they
formerly were. but there is a sad want Of regu-
larity IN the conduct of the weather during the
whole year. Ten years ago, snow was the rule
in the Winter months instead of the exception.
We then had sleigbing in December, thaw in
january, and our coldest weather in February
Now an inch or two OF snow, falling perhaps
twice or thrice during the Winter, and melting
twenty-four hours after its appearance, only
exasperates the lovers OF sleighing the old
fashioned January, thaw delays its coming until
February, while in March we are sure to have
the coldest weather Of the year. The steady
Summer heat lasting from June far into Sep
tember is only a tradition. We have a few days
of intense heat in July or August, but the rest
Of the Summer is hardly warmer than the May
day Of the last decade.
THE MsRULE UNDER TANIAfANY.
[From the N. Y. Trlbune.l
City Chamberlain Palmers annual statement
for 1871 shows that over S73, 100000 OF City and
County money, including the sinking funds, was
paid out during the year, leaving balance at
the close Of nearly 81, 6,6OO.OOO. The narrow es-
cape or the city from bankruptcy under Tamma-
ny misrule is vividly set forth in the entry which
shows that, at the end of 1870, notwithstanding
the enormous leyies Of the Ring, the City Treas
ury was overdraWn nearly 81, 100000. Under
der the stimulous Of reform the tide was turned,
the deficiency was made good, and balance OF
nearly "a, 100000 remained Dec. 3Oth, 1871.
CHEERING ELECTION RETURNS, FROM NEW YORK.
[From the n. Y. Ttmesl
Last month the Republicans of Buffalo elect
ed their entire city ticket by sweeping major
ity OF O. 500, This result was at the time attrlb-
uted in a great degree to the disgust OF the in
dependent voters at the outrages of Democratic
rule which the city had suffered. The local
elections throughout the State on Tuesday OF
| this week prove that the disease is becoming
general. The Republicans have achieved I'M
| preeedented triumph in Elmira. Rochester Itha-
ca, Cohoes, Utica, Newburg, Poughkeepsie, and
indeed throughout the State. Thus the people
pronounce in tones loud and unmstakable, that
the Republican Party is to march forward to re-
newed success, in spite of the soreheads and
| malcontents.

Believing that time has established the ne

liberal institutions can only be sustained where
the interests and wishes of the people are made
known and calmly and carefully discussed, and
that this can only be done through the agency
of parties, s,-&c.'
This is sound, practical expression. No
great result can be accomplished without orga-
nized effort, and organized effort, when applied
to public affairs, and questions of government

on the most vital and absorbing questions, for
the body Of the people will not squabble over
