AstOnishinN Results.

To the Editor Of the Non,touoc Pilot:
In common with many other Rcpubli-
cans, was much amused ON reading the
Deacons windy article in the Tribune of
last week, headed The New City Coun-
ell, in which he informs his readers that
there were six ballots taken for City Clerk,
The last one with the astonishing result
of electing the Democrat Jos. Rankin"
In the same article may be found the
following, which we respectfully and es-
pecially recommend all Republicans in
this city to carefully peruse. as 1t is rery
thin, also very complimentary to the gen
eral intelligence of the Republican party.
lit is delicate matter for us to speak
about this subject, because we were the
grateful recipient of many evidences of
confidence III the shape OF votes for the
same office. and at the same time the Clerk
elected is our near relative, but we cannot
help saying that the result of the election
for City Clerk is politically a disgrace to
the Republican party of thi. City; snd to
abuse the Republican victory lately achieved
in aiding and strengthening our opponents,
be they ever so capable and popular, is a
lamentable misappiication of the confidence
placed in the hands of our Republican
Aldermen by their constituents"
The Deacon seems to think because he
accomplished his part under instructions,
that it WAS done SO sly. that the most
sagaeious Republican eol!d not penetrate
the modus operondi. and gsins and shows
his teeth accordingly. lie starts out by
saying it is delicate matter (note the
twaddie, near relatively but discloses suf6-
eient brass to stock foundry for = whole
year, to any one at all eonversant with the
one will accuse him of planning the little
coup de main, only executing that part
which was assigned to him. But his
cheeky and unblushing remarks on the re-
suit surprised many OF the knowing ones,
even those who had known much Of his
lodging heretofore. He also has had the
impudence to talk this mourning dodge
of Republican disgrace" in the election
of Clerk, to Republicans who knew that
ne worked for Rankin for Clerk last year,
and ! am informed and believe that he
even went to Dseaocrsts wham be supposed
were personally friendly to him, and asked
tlesp 20 use their influence in favor of
Rankin last year, as there were four
Democratic Aldesaen then, and was also
a candidate himself then, as now, but last
year was only able to get one vote; this
year he was more energetic and had three.
lie was also much more cautious this
year, than last. Yet be did slobber over

The OCOntO.

We were down to G.. 5. Rand's ship yard
this morning, to see the prop. Oconto,
which is to be launched this afternoon at
3 clock. In looking over the progress made
since we were last there, we find that she
ha. her machinery all in, and will so into
the water sll ready for business. We par
ticularly noticed the painting which is very
finely done, and especially the sky and wa
ter scene which far surpasscs anything, in
that line we. have ever seen in a steam
boat, consisting of an island in the fore
ground, with houses, and harbor, and
steam tug. &C, and mountains, &c, in the
back ground with the name Oconto in
shaded letters of rustic oak. This work is
executed with a mastery hand, and can af-
ford no better proof of the artists capabili-
ties us decorative painter. We are in
formed by Mr.. Rand that our fellow-citi-
zen, William G. Cox, was the designer and
artist of this beautiful piece of work.

Answer to n s. Letter from Rev. An.
drew Seubert.'
We, the Polish speaking Catholics of
Manitowoc, would say, that We have, as
yet, our own priests here, who will tell US
what the authorities of the Catholic Church
approve or disapprove of, and we would
rather see that Rev. Andrew Schubert would
take care of his own flock at Maple Grove,
instead of meddlins with our affairs, and
when he only wished, which we are very
willing to suppose, to suppress the build
ing of new Catholic Church, even if
therein only God shall be worshirped in
the Polish language, he would not make
many prosclytes. We want church and a
priest who teaches US in our own language;
we need it, and we will have it, and it
looks rather strange when priests of our
own Church try to hinder it. Sweep be-
fore your own door!

THE CRACK OF A BROKEN LASH.

The Dover DeldtDUedn realizes but slowly
that the control Of this State is no longer in the
grasp Of Ring. 1t evidently does not compre-
hend the situation. We find it attempting still
to speak in the voice OF command, and to
thunder from the little Olympus upon which its
friends once sat, words OF dictation and author
ity. Thus it says, on Saturday
"a petition in favor Of representation accord.
ing to population is being circulated for sigma
lures in New Castle county. As the prayer Of
these petitioners can only be granted by an
amendment to the Constitution, we would sug
gest to them that they might well save their
ink and paper. The citizens Of the two lower
counties, Democrats or Republicans, will not
consent to it, and there the matter will have TO
rest"
These are words, which, under any circum
stances, would be in bad taste. Under the cir
cumstAnces which actually exist, they are OK
pressions which insult more than half the peo-
pie Of the State. They do no credit to the Della
,odredn. They will have but one effect; to
arouse, still further, the earnest and indignant
feeling with which the DISTINGUISHED citizens of
New Castle county regard the unjust and infa-
nous system under which they suffer.
Let us say, in response to this new crack Of
the old lash, that the petitioners who are about
to appeal to the Legislature for Equal Represen-
tation mean to hare H. 1t is their right Any
thing less is servitude. They will not take the
insolent suggestion to "save their ink and pa
per-" They will use both yes and more--to
good purpose.
Nor is it true, at any rate, that representation
according to population "can only be granted by
amendment to the Constitution" This is the
dogma Of those who mean to contest the equali-
cation Of representation to the last, but it is a
theory without warrant in the Constitution The
power to increase the number OF both Senators
and Representatives is expressly conferred by
that instrument upon the Legislature. A Con-
stitutional Convention is demanded, on many
accounts, but we need not wait its movements to
procure at least temporary relief from the out
rage OF Disfranchisement. An Act Of the Legis-
lature, at this very approaching session, will ac
complish for the present the equalization Of the
rights Of all citizens in the General Assembly
and we have certainly reason to suppose that no
one will refuse to accord measure so plainly
demanded by every consideration OF Justice, and
every line and paragraph Of Democratic princi
pies.
Let us say to the Deldudredn that it has its
rights, but they are no greater than those of
other people; it has its authority but not that
which may flourish plantation cat-o-nine-tails
over the backs Of the sixty-fye thousand people
of New Castle County

The North American vigorously defends Phil

the New York World applied to it. In ten years,
says the former paper the Pennsylvania Rail
