HORSE NOTES.

The disease that has prevailed for the past two
weeks among horses Of all grades in this neighbor
hood seems to have put an end to trotting races
for the nonce. The tracks are all in capital order
but their owners offer no purses and trainers make
no matches, as they are afraid OF the pestilence
and will not take any risks Of nuring their valuable
horses for the present. BY the time the disease
subsidies the season will be over, and the lovers Of
trottng Will have to seek other sports than those
OF the turf until next Spring,
At late trotting meeting at Medina, N. Y, seve-
raj OF the horses entered for the purses were with
drawn in consequence OF being attacked with the

THE QUESTION OF EQUAL REPRssErrA
TON.

II may be remembered that the question of
reforming the present system Of grinding dis
frAnchisement was somewhat earnestly and fully
discussed in the newspapers, a few months ago
We took the ground, then, that the Democratic
Party dare not, could not and would not, take and
step to redress the wrong, and we deied them
to meet the issue. The result proved we we're
right. Feeble efforts were made, both in the
County Convention at New Castle, and in the
State Convention at Dover, to place the Democ-
racy in favor Of giving all citizens an equal
voice in the Legislature, without regard to their
place Of residence, but these movements we're
treated with contempt, aud virtually kicked out
Of the Convention.
We said also, when the question was up, that
the Republicans were pledged to the Reform !;
that they had resolved in favor of it by On hon
est, sincere resolution, in 1855 and that to make
their position stronger and prevent this possibi.-
ty Of doubt or bubble, they would re-afdrm that
resolution, at their State Convention, in May.
TIL they did do.
Now, we challenge those advocates Of Equal
Representation, outside the Republican ranks, to
know how they regard the situation. Ecery
Ecening, whose fresh, young zeal was so hot and
loud, for time, has Of late became silent on
the question. 1t announced its purposO-if we
recollect accurately-of organizing the people
and requiring from each candidate for the Leg.
islAture an explicit pledge in favor OF Equal
Representation. II we understood its express
sions, it proposed to advocate the election OF
those mon who made this pledge, and oppose
the choice Of any Others, regardless of their po-
litcal affiliations. We beg to suggest that now
is the time to carry out this programme. The
nominations on both sides, are completed, the
elections are near. The interrogatories must be
made at once, If they are made at all, II there
ia demand from the disfranchised people, liv-
ing North OF Duck Creek, for representation in
the State Legislature, now is the time to make
it heard. The Republicans are right on the
question, and are earnestly striving for the Re-
FORM how much help will they have from those
well-heard " non-partisans," who were 30 pro-
foundly anxious for it, few months ago, when
the election was distant
