HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN STATE Cen
TRIAL COMMITTEE,
Wilmington, Del, Sept, 1872.
We are now on the eve cf another Presi
dental Canvass, and it bchoOvesa all to consider
well the political situation, and act integently
IN the exercise of the trecman's prerogatiye !:
ald while all must be greatly interested in the
PRESIDENTIAL contest, We should be none the less
sollctous relative to the administration of our
State affairs. Our little State is burdered
with heavy debt, and our people are over
porne with onerous taxes, which are directed
NOT only against property in its varied FORMS
Dut Tor the first time in the history of our
Otate, the energies and industries of her pe)
pie are made peculiarly the subject of an
unequal and unjust taxation. Large sums of
money have already been raised by taxes, but
there mas been no commensurate reduction in
our debt. The people have a right to know
Wnat disposition has been made of the public
funds, by the dominant party which has in 50
short time succeeded in heapinr upon MS sncb
a debt, and it is their duty now to make a
Judlclous investigation, each for himself into
the condition OF our State finances. A thor
ough and complete reform in the administration
OI the state Government is needed and this is
the golden opportunity which promises the
realization OF that glorious result: inasmuch
as the late Democratic Party have by their
published platform adopted at Baltimore re-
nounced every cardinal principal heretofore
beld by them, and have fully endorsed the
acknowledged Principles of our Party, thereby
confessing the error of their tenets, and tn.
correctness of our own.
Jhe Democracy of Delaware, as in our sister
states, IS dlSorglnzed and disintegrated, while
the Republican Party, flushed by the decisive
victories IN North Carolina, Vermont, Maine,
ana the assured prospect Of still more glorious
trumphs in November, is thoroughly and
completely organized, and presents solid and
unbrokcn front in the face of the enemy.
Let all the good people of Delaware, disre-
gardlng past political predictions, and looking
to the future and permanent interests and
welfare OF the State, unite, and act energeti-
cally with US at the approaching Election, and
we will secure that necessary reform in our
state Government which all honest men so
heartily desire
BY order Of the Committee,
ii. f. PICKEIs, Chairman.

THE SRAIGHT oUTs.-Dr John A. Brown
and VIM. Dean, Esq, the mainsprings of the
Straight-out party in this State, came TO this
town on Monday evening last and conferred
by prearrangement with Messrs. q. w. s.
Nicholson and l. j. Price, of Sussex with
reference to the pending campaign The con-
ference was, of course, confidential, but we
were informed by Mr.. Dean that an Electoral

GUILTY.-Archibald Given, tax collector of
Wilmington, has been proved guilty, before
the u. ). Circuit Court, in that city, of MAKING
false returns Of assessment in order to defraud
colored men of their votes 1t was proven
that he had refused or neglected to receive
taxes from five colored men residing in that
city, and returned them on the error list of the
Levy Court as having left the State. 1t was
also shown, in evidence before the Court. that
where number of Republicans went before
the Levy Court of New Castle to examine this
error list that Given refused to let them see il.
lest they should correct the list and have the
names placed upon the duplicate in time to
enfranchise them. 1t was further shown that
Given was personally acquainted with most of
these cclored men, some of whom lived in the
same street with him, and yet he returned
them to the Levy Court as having left the
State"
Another Collector, named Cain, and even
the Levy Court itself, stand charged with
similar offences, but the Court adjourned after
trying Given, and their cases are to be carried
over to the next term. 1t is estimated that bv
processes similar to this upwards of ] 900 votes
of New Castle county, mostly colored. have
been wlllfuily disfranchse1 The number
throughout the State is estimated at 800 In
this county the number is supposed to reach
from 600 to 500. Several instances, when the
names OF colOred men we're brought before our
Levy Court to have their names placed upon
the assessment list, an adjournment was
effected before tie object was accomplished.
80 the parties who presented the lists are
willing to testify. All the tax thus lost to the
State from these 800 non assessed individuals
will have to be made up from the purses of
those duly taxed.
These trials are made upon indictments
under the Enforcement act passed by Congress
to carry out the provisions of the Fifteenth
Amendment. 1t can now be seen WHY said
act, wise measure brought before Congress
by such men as Nessrs. Greeley, Sumner, and
others to protect colored men in the rights
conferred upon them by the Amendments, is so
Objectionable to certain Democrats.
We refer the reader to our local columns for
the details Of the trial

states that the out look is Frightening every day
and they feel greatly encouraged in their forts
to save the Democratic party from annhilation
1t IS represented that in some sections of
Sussex county nearly halt the Democrats are
In favor of the movement, and will stay from
the polls unless straight ticket is put in nom
nation. In view of this fact some of the
Sussex crOw-eaters are encouraging the scheme
to save the county ticket, and relieve it as much
as possible from the Greeley dead weight.
