A SHALL FORTUNE. W
The Agricultural Association O6er
Several Small Fortunes for
Five Dollars.
The Great Drawing on the First OI
June-Three Hundred and Fifty
One Cash Premiums

Every one in the city does not seem tc
know that several small fortunes are
offered In this city by the Agricultural
Association fora five dollar, investment.
The small fortunes, of course, are not
assured no more than any future con-
tingeney is, but then a very fair chance
Is offered Of gaining five thousand, Oh
even two five thousands, by an outlay
of one five dollar bill, or two, if the In
yestor thinks it proper to risk so much.
The Agricultural Association had a
single number drawing of this charter
before now, which gave entire satisfac-
ton, as the hundreds of people who
drew prizes can testify. 1t was con-
Quoted under the management of very
superior men, whose character stands so
high in this community as to be above
even the shadow of suspicion of any
thing improper in any way. This year
the association, by virtue of legislative
enactment, have prepared drawing of
more than double the magnitude Of that
of last fall. There will be twenty-five
thousand two hundred dollars distributed
in various sized prizes, from five thou
sand dollars down to five. A full expo
sition of the scheme is published in our
advertising columns.

ExPLANAroRY.

The enterprise is not gotten up for pTi-
| cate gain. 1t Is authorized by special
act Of the last General Assembly and
approved by the Governor, for the sole
purpose of improving and beautifying
the Fair Grounds.
The high standing of the Board of Di-
rectOrs aud of the Managers, is a suffi-
cient guarantee that these Distributions
will be made on the fairest principles,
and that the profits will be appropriated
according TO the intent of the Legisla-
ture.
The Directors have placed the price OF
whole Tickets at Five Dollars; Halves
at Two Dollars and Fifty Cents; Quar-
ters at One Dollar and Twenty-Five
Cents. All can contribute without feel.
ing the loss, and the distribution will
benefit very many.
In explanation of the halves and
quarter tickets 1t may be necessary to
state that they win only draw half
prize or quarter ofva prize. For example,
If half ticket should be lucky enough
to contain the number which draws out
five hundred dollars, the holder would
only be entitled to half that amount,
whereas il whole ticket had the same
luck the holder would get his five hum
dred dollars and no questions asked.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
A number OF gentlemen can combine
into syndicates for the purchase of a
bundle of tickets and if prize be
drawn divide the proceeds od UdLoren1,
viz, according to the amount invested.
Those who wish to forward the meri-
torlOus objects of the Association will
largely adopt this plan, which is a very
nice one and as full of fun as merit.
The Drawing is advertised for the
First of June.

After my paragraph about the Tribune was

is the retirement OF Mr.. Whitelaw Reid from

and dramatic critic is to have sole charge Of the
paper, until the end of the year when Mr.. Col
fax will take the helm. Mr.. Orion, President of
the Western Union Telegraph Company, it is
stated, has purchased majority of the :" stock, "
aud in future, will have controlling m anage-
ment of the whole establishment.
Some OF these changes it is said we're sudden
and unlocked for, and are to be accepted az the
result of an Intellectual effort to harmonic the
various interests associated with Mr.. Greeley =

WILMINGTON, DEL.
Thursday Afternoon, Dec, Ios
THE PREsIDENTs ACTION In LOUISIANA
AND ALABAMA.

II is useless for the enemies Of the President
TO attempt TO deceive the people concerning the
propriety OF his action in Louisiana he has
followed carefully the letter Of the law, and the
Constitution, and his interference, when duly
and legally demanded, was matter Of duty, the
performance Of which he could not have declined.
1t is pretended that he ought to have post
poned it, but why, except for the purpose
of allowing WArmoth TO carry out his further
schemes Of fraud, nobody can tell. The Presi-
dent was thoroughly familiar with the situAtion
in Louisiana, and entirely informed as TO all the
facts which it was needful for him to know, and
he took action to protect and uphold what was
the legal-and no doubt the only rightful-State
organization. To insist that he should have
omitted the performance of this duty when the
only result would have been to serve the ends Of
a scoundrel like Warmoth, is a good enough
argument TO the minds Of those who can see no
good in political opponent, but fatal one, in
the Judgment Of fair men and good citizens.
The perfect uprightness and entire good faith
OF the President and his law counsellor Attorney
General Williams, in regard to these Southarn
quarrels, is ful her shown by the result in Ala
bama. The contest, there, was assuming posi-
ton almost as threatening as in Louisiana and
bid fair to run on to.equally i'll results, but Mr..
Williams, disregarding all considerations OF what
might be the mere partisan consequences, elAb-
GRATED a plan OF settlement so fair that both
parties, nAamed and bitter as they were, accepted
it, and the State is restored to order and harmo-
ny. II the Administration had desired to serve
party ends, only, it would have taken an entirely
different ceusre. But this was not the object.
The people can surely see that these quarrela
in Inc just reconstructed States demand compo-
sition and settlement-peaceably and amicably,
as in Alabama; or by the strong hand, as in
LouisiAna-and that it is the plain duty of th'
President, whenever the law and the oonstitu
ton call for his interference, to-.aet promptly
and resolutely, just as he has done.

negro man, James Perry, who had been pre-

ly crazy last Thursday week to the utter conster-

strong men could not hold him during the parox-

summoned, soon succeeded in getting him quiet
by administering cloral and kept him. asleep dur

ever Perry is an industrious man, who had got
ten himself a comfortable home, and his misfor-
tune is generally regretted. The case seems to
