THE POSITION OF THE 0CoMMERCIAL,

For a long time, it had to be said of the COM
MERcIAL that it was 'the only daily" in the city
and State. This might or might not be a recon-
mendation of it, for excellence in newspapers is
a comparative quality.
But We are now in the second era OF enterpri-
sing journalism in Wilmington. Other dailies
have been, or are about to be established, and
there will presently be three others in the
city, besides the COMMERCIAL. This we regard
as a fortunate circumstance for it. The new
papers are all to be sold at cent copy and
undertake to enter only the very cheapest field
Of public appreciation. The COMMERCIAL re-
mains the only two-cent paper, the oldest, bert
known, most widely circulated, and consequently
most valuable for advertisers. The new papers
leave it in undisputed possession of the field it
entered upon and occupied for five years, with
out competition.
This situation, therefore, is satisfactory, and
gratifying 1t makes the COMMERCIAL not merely
the single occupant Of this journalistic ground,
but gives it the leadership, and prominence
after comparison with all others That position.

HORACE aREEIEY's INFLUENCE.

Horace Greeley made Republicans suspicious
Of his sound Judgment, by his frequent odd
offers, first to yield to- and afterward to compro-
mise with, the Rebellion. But, when he went
bail for JEFF Davis, whether he was right or
wrong he set thousands Of earnest and radical
leaders Of the Tribune on a vigilant watch Of
his further movements, and all these now see in
his ridiculous, and totally unreasonable conduct,
only further step in that downward course.
which Seward and Chase took before him.
Another reason why Mr. Greeley cannot pull
any stones from the Republican foundation is
that the local Republican press all over the
country, the county papers" are all faithful
and steady friends of their beloved party and its
principles. We do not know of one which fol-
lows the Tribune, and this shows how complete
ly the mass Of Republicans condemn ita present

WILMINGTON, DBL.
Wednesday Afternoon, March ~.
WILMINGTON AS AN ACADEMIC CRNTRE-
SOMETHING YET NEEDED.

The excellence OF Wilmngton's private schools
is becoming known abroad, and the collection OF
students, here, is annually increasing. This
growth may be still further greatly developed
Our city is exceptionally healthy, living is cheap
and access from all parts Of the country is very
easy. The moral tone is high; Temperance
Virtue, and Moderation are the rule of life, and
so firmly established that it will be long before
we take on the dizzy pace Of modern great cities
These are not suppositious facts, but actual
ones. They are good sound, hard reasons why
Wilmington should become great Educational
city, and each one is capable of positive demon
stration. By adding them to the substantial and
thorough educational training which our acade-
mics have established as their rule, we make a
groundwork upon which great results can be
built.
Some things however, need to be done. The
value Of our schools, and the favorable circum-
stances around them, should be made known,
more widely, more persisteDtly. more systemati-
cally. The best advertisement OF an educational
institution are the students who graduate from
1t, it is true, but they ought not to be its only
advertisement.
Our remark, here enforced by the fact that
while our private schools have certainly greatly
multiplied, it is said that they have outrun the
number Of scholars. This is partially true we
hear Of one much-esteemed and excellent /" day
school" teacher, who is about to close her labors
for lack of a sufficiently liberal support This
may easily be 30, il only the children of Will
mington are depended upon, but il the excellence
of these schools were as fully understood, away
from home, as it is here, there would be plenty
OF pupils glad to come to us, aud fill them up.
This is a city set upon hill, and it's light should
not be hid under bushel.
Aud then, again, we must crystalize, ooncen-
trate, organize, our educational forces. Our
academic spirit must be made harmonious, and
trained into higher perfection. Our intellectual
activity must be addressed to practical object.
so that its force and power may be more mani
fest. One means Of accomplishing these end-
can be supplied by the Wilmington Institute. 1t
gives every season, course of lectures. These
should be participated in by all the advanced
schools Of the city, both private and public. Two
or three scores Of people listened to Professor
Cope's admirable scientific lectures, last Fall
Instead Of that, there should have been five
hundred students Of natural science at each
Why not Let the Institute become the mother
Of scientific investigation and instruction. Let
the schools join their strength with hers and i
can be done. 1t would do much for our owl
community and it would greatly aid the growth
OF Wilmington as a centre of educational forces
widely know9, admired. and respected.

HORRIBLE DEATH.

A Telegraph Operator Crush ed 10
Death under a Train ON the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad.
John Frank, the night operator at Coles
berg, station thirty-four miles from Louis
vile, on the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road, met with sudden and most horrible
death at l O'Clock Monday morning. He
was returning from a visit to Elizabeth
town, and riding in the cabOOse with Con-
ductor Earnest Wilmington, of freight train
No. 8. The conductor got on the top of
the train, and started to walk to the front
end. Mr.. Frank attempted to follow
him, and passed over several cars,
bus while crossing from the fourth
to the fifth car the lamp held by Mr.. Whit
tington suddenly disappeared, and Frank
fell head foremost to the ground, where tie
whole Of the cars passed over him. The
ain was stopped as soon as it was possible,
a I'd the conductor went back to the assist
auce ofthe unfortunate and fearfully mang-
Isl but still living and conscious man. ] he
trucks passed over his hips, legs and arms,
and cut him on the stomach so that bis
entrails protruded. Notwithstanding this
fearful condition, tho poor fellow was per-
fectly conscious, able to converse fuently,
| aud actually related the whole circumstal.-
| ces of the accident. he was taken to
Colesburgd and attended by DR.. Combs. The
unfortunate man was suffering so that he
implored those around him to take his life.
He said that death would relieve him of q
great deal of agony, and rob him Of very
little time. The doctor administered chic
roform, but under the circumstances the
medicine would have no effect.
Mr.. Frank told those who were near to
telegraph to bis mother, Kenosha, Wiscon-
sin, and inform her that he had been killed.
He died about two hours after the acct
dent.
The officers of the road purchased fine
metallic coffin, placed the remains Of the
unfortunate man in it, and forwarded them
to his mother at Kenosha.
