POSITION OF OUR GOVERNMENT THE INDIRECT
DAMAGES TO BE DEMANDED.
NEW YORK. April 20.
Special kilograms to the y Y.,papers say that
at the Cabinet meeting yesterday Secretary Fish
reported his answer to General Banks, to the
effect that the claim for indirect damages would
be pressed, and received from the President, and
from his colleagues, their unqualified assent to
what he hadsaid IN their own and the Presidents
behalf.
1t is said that the Government insists upon
maintaining its original position for the sole pur-
pose of securing the arbitration of the principle
involved decision disalowing the claims
would really be of more advantage to this Gov
eminent for future emergencies than any award
of damages. For the purpose of having this
principle arbitrated and settled for all time to
come, so that it might be precedent in future
complications, there is no doubt but that this
Government would consent to waive any pay
ment Of money damages that might be awarded
in case OF possible decision adverse to England

Description AND LoCATIoS.-Ihis is a little
landing village and shipping point on Little
Creek. four miles east of Dover containing a
population Of about 200, mostly seamen, oyster
men and fishermen
OYSTERS. - The best oyster grounds in the
Delaware Bay are found at the mouth of Little
Greek and Mahon river The planting Of oysters
has been encouraged by an act Of the Legsla-
ture but the great difficulty is to get oysters to
plant The New Jersey Legislature has passed
law prohibiting any persons, other than Jersey
men, from dredging oysters on the Jersey side Of
the river consequently the Delaware Oyster
men are compelled TO bring their planting oysters
from the Chesapeake Bay. Several boat loads
have been brought over and planted, and several
more will be brought before the 10th of May
when the time expires on the Chesapeake fol
transplanting. but will continue on the Delaware
Bay up to July.
SCHOONER BUuDISG-Wm. II. Hobson ant

nership, and besides being engaged in the gener
al merchandise. grain, coal lumber and phosphate

signers were speedily forthcoming, and a hous
was erected in less than week and his saloon
opened. The Little Checkers are watching him
closely.

The Commercial List says; The style of chew
ing tobacco most popular here, is that which is
known as Black and Sweet. 1t is a little singular
that the chewers OF different cities should have
their own local pecuiarities in regard to tobacco.
Thus, in New York, Fine Cut is the popu-
lar style; in Baltimore and other Southern cities,
fine bright hard tobacco" is preferred; in Bos-
ton, something sweet but not very black has
better sale than other sorts, and in the West
the taste is divided between these three styles.
For the trade Of Philadelphia, nothing can be
too sweet or too black to suit the great mass Of
her customers: the brands known as ''Smith II
Jones, !" "Peyton, "Pemberton, and 'Turpin,
being fair representatives of this taste. Spun
Roll" or "Plug," an article scarcely known in
other markets, has large sale here

Monday Afternoon, April az.
TEMpTINe THE maryland DEMOCRACY

The Democracy Of the Eastern Shore are being
greatly persuaded that their best chance for
future success is to be found in voting for
Republican candidate for President. The Denton
Journal, Of Caroline county, says that the party
lacks ''unanimity of opinion" and cannot sue
coed. 1t will never desert the old flag Of
Democracy" but it asks "Can we not, for OK
pediency, roll it up, for time ?"
This, then, is the winning voice of the Demo
cratic leaders who have already sent their love to
Cincinnati. The Journal is ready to roll up its
party flag, for the sake of expediency, and vote
for Republican candidate. How would Thomas
Jefferson have looked, engaged in rolling up the
flag he bore Or what do you suppose Andrew
Jackson would have said, il he had been thus
advisad

ASK THEM HOW THEY Will VOTE.

One Of the measures employed toseeure free
bridge over the Christiana might be quite useful,
in reference to the Equal Representation re-
form. Why not interrogate this fall, every can
didate for the Legislature, from New Castle
county. "will you, or will you not, if elected,
support legislation to give all parts of the State
representation according to population ?" Ad-
dress this question, or one Of similar substance,
to every candidate, and see what they reply.
The people will then know how to vote.
The Equal Representation issue will be lead
ing and prominent question in the next cam
paign. The Republicans must take and hold q
pronounced, plain position on it, and force the
fighting.
