for those now holding Office, but one of its ex-
Collectors, recently retired, has defaulted for
over $4,000, or nearly $4,SOO with interest
added. The 'black sheep list among the
Collectors is large one surely. In that State,
as in this, perhaps, many of these officers, and
others in smaller positions, are men of not
much standing, except on election day. and
never knew, until they got into Office, how hard
it was to be honest with pockets full Of other
peoples money and never knew what it was

MARYLAND DEFAULTERs-The law OF
Maryland, (see first page) requiring the
Comptroller, whose duty it is to verify the
accounts of all State officers, to make public
announcement of any deficiency there may be
In the accounts of any public officer, is a good
one. Men who handle public money should
render public accounts. The public has a
right to know all about the transactions of it,
servants. Such law should exist in thi,
State. Last fall various reports were freely
circulated about the defalcations Of collectors
treasurers, &c, in this county, yet the publ,
was carefully blndfolded, as if it had no right
or interest in the matter, and the dominant
party covered up the deeds of its unfaithfu
alhCIents in office. In no other State, perhaps
are public officers so shielded with the mantl,
Of privacy.

failed to square his account by over 81, so

is TO take some stimulant, the effect of which
is the same as giving tired horse the whip

The Hon. James A. Garfield made long
speech at Randolph, Ohio, on Wednesday last,
in support of the Republican State ticket. In
it he touched upon the financial situation and
upon that now indispensable topic in every
was TO be found in too much railroad building.
That the panic was not widespread in its
destruction, like that Of 1887, he attributed to
two causes First, that, outside of railroad
building, the great body of the industry of the
country is in a sound and healthy condition /;
and second, that the Republican party had
abolished the old system OF State banking, and
created in its place System more safe and
more wise than any other that this country
ever knew" In regard to the resumption Of
specie payment, he said: IL have no doubt
that resumption of specie payments, care
fully and prudcntly made, would rather ease
the money market than increase its stringency."

ELECTIONS were held in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Iowa yesterday.
The returns from Pennsylvania indicate a
majority in the whole State of about 10000
for Mackey, the Republican candidate for State
Treasurer and 10000 for Gordon, Republican
candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court.
The Republican majority in Philadelphia is
from l4,000 to 1900.
Returns from Ohio show Democratic gains
but indicate the election Of the Republican
ticket by reduced majority, the Legislature
being claimed by the Democrats.
Returns from Iowa indicate the success o.
the Republicans by about the usual majority.
One of our State exchanges of the Demo
cratic persuasion seems to think that it mus
take a political view of the financial situation
and in its last issue it talks with all the conf
dence imaginable on the subject. Of course
the Republicans, from its standpoint, are re
sponsible for the crash, and the Democratic
organs have the only advice worth following il
pointing the way out. 1t is fully convinced
that it has the Democratic cue and sings ou
"gold" We must return to specie paymen
at once. "Give us gold, and the sooner tn
better" it says We must hurry it up, rathe
than reach it by slow approaches. We mus
precipitate things for the sake Of getting t
gold.
We are not so sure that our neighbor
pulling the right string of its party in advoca
ing this heller skelter speed towards speci
payment "Make haste slowly is more hkel
to be orthodox. Senator Thurman in his st
speech at KentOn, Ohio, last week, discusse
the financial situation pretty fully. He divide
the country into creditor States-New YorI
Pennsylvania, and New England, and debit
States-the Western and Southern The effe
of the resumption of specie payment, in h
opinion, would compel every man who ow
$5 to pay Sc, and would have most crushiI
effect upon the debtor States. He said
'But do now say to you that in my iud
ment it would be most unwisc for the Unite

A STORY OF TRUE LOvE-A Inr. Hennis,
on Front ST., Wilmington, has daughter of 5.
He has also young man boarder named
BlundOn. The young ones are in love and
want to marry. Hennis won't let them. He
says they are two young they say they can t
help that He came home to dinner on Mon
day and learned that Blundon had stolen his
child of 10 falls. We let the Go=stte tell the
rest:
Filled with wrath he started out on the war
path, and meeting Blundon, inquired in thun-
der tones for his daughters whereabouts.
Blundon refused to reveal his knowledge of the
same, and triumphantly declared his determi-
nation to marry her despite all opposition.
Hennis soon after learned that his daughter
was staying at the house of friend near
Fourth and French streets, and thither he start
ed. At the corner he was met by BlundOn
words ensued and the persistent lover soon
opened vigorous attack on the old man, in
which, however, he was wOrsted, although he
drew a knife in his defence.
Hennis took his daughter home, and then
before Esquire Frazer, charged Blundon with
assault and battery, and attempted abduction.
The latter was tried and held to bail in the
sum OF $500, for appearance at Court
During the melee, BlundOn' sister came tc
his assistance, but was rudely pushed out Of
the way by Hennis. For this she charged him
before Esquire Frazer, with assault and bat
terry, but after q hearing, the Squire dismissed
| the case.

Her FIRST RIDE.-The Brcaktcater Light
tells this: An old colored woman, who took
her first ride on the cars, Wednesday, from
Georgetown, desired to 20 to Milford. She
purchased her ticket for that place and took
seat in the Car. When at Milford the con-
ductor informed her Of the fact, and she got
out of the cars on the platform, and after view
ing the locality and surroundings, she again got
on board the train, fully convinced that the
conductor had made a mistake, as she had
been to Milford "a many time" and that
didn't look like Milford to her. She was
however much surprised to learn, after being
seated for few minutes that she was several
miles from Milford and near Harrington She
remained in the car and conductor Ewing
safely landed her at Milford on the return trip.
When we inquired her age, she said she was
getting we'll on toward hundred, and that
her name was Ailsey Reynolds. AS this was
her first trip on the cars she had no doubt been
used to entering Milford at different point,
as she was quite surprised to find so small a
place and said, ''it used to be a right smart
town"

THE TABLES TURNED.-At the last annual
meeting of the Independent Order Good Tenn
plars, in this city the reports of the Grand
Worthy Chief Temp plar, and the Grand Worthy
Secretary, declared that James Devine, ex
Treasurer, was still indebted to the Order, and
refused to settle. The reports were allowed to
be published in the papers, and committee
appointed to confer with Mr.. Devine. to in.
vestigate his accounts, and effect settlement.
The alleged deficiency was placed at $40. The
committee proceeded with the work assigned
them, and mark the result Mr.. Devine had
proved to be rather loose fnaucier, but his
laxity affected his own interest, and not the
Orders. An examination of his accounts prov.
ed that he had paid out, on account of the Or.
der, $5522 more than he had taken in, and
that therefore the Order was indebted to him
to this amount Gazette.

YELLOW FEVER AT MEMPHIS There were
forty-seven yellow fever deaths in Memphis
during the twenty four hours ending on Satur-
day evening, and thirty six during the twenty.
four hours ending at noon Monday. Trains
leaving the city Monday were crowded with
fugitives. Business is greatly affected, and
several stores have been closed until the fever
shall disappear. The police force is greatly
reduced, and the street railroads have reduced
the number Of trips one-fourth. Even with
this reduction it is stated that the trips do not
pay the expense of the driver Two Of the
largest beer halls in the city closed Monday.
1t is believed, however that the disease has
done its worst. There was slight frost Mon.
day morning, and fewer new cases, and those
OF less malignant type, were reported during
the day. A succession of frosts is expected,
which will kill the pestilcnce, though for a
week or ten days the mortality will be large.
Meantime the streets and alleys are being
cleaned aud disinfected with lime. 1t is esti-
mated that less than lO,OOO persons remain in
the city during the night. Large numbers
who do business in the city during the day
spend the night in the country. Assistance
for the destitute is still implored The Mayor
of Memphis, in dispatch to the Mayor OF
