It has already been stated that the negroes were
about to demand position in the Cabinet of Gen.
Grant This report reaches the pdblic through a
number Of correspondents for the New York city
and other journals, west and east and seems to be
well founded. The Washington correspondent Of
tho Baltimore Sun, in his letter dated the 7h in
slant, makes reference to the matter as follows
1t will be seen that they not only demand place,
but aim for the high post OF chief legal adviser:

Elegance Does not Make a Home

IIever saw garment too fine for man or
maid there was never n chair too good for cob.
bier, or cooper, or king, to sit in; never house
too tine to shelter the human head. These ele-
ments about us, the gorgeous sky, the imperial
sun, are not too good for the human race. Ele-
gance fits man. But do we not value these tools
Of housekeeping a little more than they are
WORTH and sometimes mortgage home for the
mahogany we would bring into it had rather
eat my dinner off the head Of barrel, or dress
after the fashion Of John the Baptist in the viii.
dcrness, or sit on q block all my life, than con-
sumo all myself before got to home, and take
so much pains with the outside that the inside
was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is a
great thing, but beauty Of garment. house and
furniture is a very tawdry ornament compared
with domestic love. All the elegance in the
woriu would not make home, and ! would give
more for a spoonful OF real hearty love than for
whole shploads Of furniture. and all the gor-
geousncss that all the upholsterers of the worl,
could gather together.-THEopoREP PARKER.

1t has been o common practice among the set.

In case recently heard before the Supreme
Court Of Maine Gardiner firm sued the Western
Union Telegraph Company for 5000 damages re.
sailing from an error IN the transmission of a
messags. The firm had sent an order to Chicago
for 10000 bushels Of corn. The message as deliv.
cred reduced the order to 1000 bushels. Before
the mistake was corrected, corn had advanced ten
cents bushel, and the firm claimed damages to
the amount Of the increased cost Of the grain
At the close Of the testimony the Judge intimated
that be should instruct the jury that the telegraph
company was liable for damages, notwithstanding
the terms Of the contract set forth in the printed
blanks provided by the company; whereupon, by
consent of counsel, the case was Withdrawn and
rsSsired back to the lower court for decision upon
question Of law and the assessment Of damages,
Il any should be allowed.

The returns from Kent and Sussex, when com
pared with those Of New Castle county prove
that the losses which the Democrats sustained is
proportionately much heavier in the lower coun-
ties than in this In New Castle county, with a
popular vote nearly equal to that of Kent and
Sussex combined, the loss, taking the average ma
jonty on the Levy Court ticket for 1870 and 1872
u nearly 1000, while the loss in Kent and Sussex

The sa,stake at Baltimore.

The election returns continue to pour in upon
~ in almost one unbroken stream in favor OF The
Radical candidates. This 10 not confined to Grant
and Wilson only. But through the whole coun-
try We find it to be the case ON all parts Of the
tickets presented to be voted. When the great
mistake was made at Baltimore by the Democratic
party, and to which the Delaware Delegation put
forth all its power to prevent. it was said in favor
Of the adoption Of the Cincinnati candidates that
through that course the Democracy would be able
to elect majority Of the Congressman and carry
the legislative tickets in the various States, thus
securing the choice Of United States SENATOR.
This expectation has not been realized. On the con-
trary the result has been as disastrous to the DEM
o,rats in this particular as in that of the Presi-
dental candidates. On the Democratic party
prior to that nomination the hopes of the country
seemed to rest.
As an organization it was more powerful in all
the States than it had been since 1861, and harmo-
ny seemed to pervade its ranks, while the Radical
party was much divided. We had therefore q fair
6eld for making powerful effort, under favorable
circumstances to elevate to the Chief Magistracy
gentleman whose principles were well known to
be in accord with those of the great party that
had SO long and go stoutly contended against HAD
icalism. Had such man been put before the peo-
pie by the Baltimore Convention We have no
doubt the result would have proved much more
favorable.
There is little to be gained now by refer ring to
the circumstances connected with the attempt to
transfer the votes Of great party to candidates
who were not Of its ranks. But the result OF the
IL. 49, Al. ~. .f,,11,
complished and the wisdom Of the wise men at
Baltimore wha predicted such Tremendous majori-
ties for Messrs Greeley and Brown in Missouri
and New York, have seen all too late how difficult
tits to assume the position Of prognostcators where
the votes Of the people are relied upon to make
good their predictions.
