now in his ninety-third year. Upon the presen-
tstion Of the paper to him, he promptly express
pressed his Jealous approval of the just
demand it represented. In the great work
of state Reform he feels the warmest interest,
believing that the situation OF Delaware, in
many important particulars, imperatively de-

The Attachment Lobby.

The repeal Of the law OF attachment. so far as
it affects wages, is demanded by every sound
consideration of public policy. 1t is opposed
by very few storekeepers who, (wrongly we
think believe their interests better served by
the present system; and by those Justices of the
Ieaco, aud process servers, who hurried down to
Bioyer, on Wednesday, to lobby against repeal.
b must he confessed that the open audacity Of
lie latter is staggering. They make money ont
pf the unfortunate and 80 insist that the Legis-
Iature shall promote misfortune. In the pres
euro Of Arctic winds, this conduct presents a
t, colder and harder cheek.

The Potato.

In common parlance, wheat is recog-
nized as the main-stay OF existence; bnt
while it may be SO in fact, its right to
pre-eminence is disputed by the potato.
However much the former may n
tribute to the support of life in this
country, it occupies, as an article of
Diet, a place little superior to that of
the latter, and it is not more universally
looked to, by all classes Of society. for
sGstenance than the ~escnlent tuber.
The entire product Of potatoes in the
United States, in bushels, for the three
last census yeors was as follows In
1850, 104, 0G0, GA bushels 1860, 49,
243,S9 bushels, and in 1870, 1G5, l4G,-
297 bushels. The product of wheat for
those years wa In 1850, 100, 4S5, SI3
bushels 1860, 173, 10i, O2A bushels, and
in 1870, 2S7, 745, G26 bushels. If we de-
duct the amount exported during any
one OF these years We approximate to
the amount of the home consumption of
each Of these staples. in 1870 the cx-
portation of potatoes aggregated $780,
JGS bushels, leaving for our W use
l63, 594,3 1929. OF wheat land -four re-
duccd to bushels) the export was Oh
3S7,S94 bushels. A short crop of pota-
toes is, however, fully as serious an
embarrassment as Il light Weld of
wheat, If it be not a greater n for
potatoes a be, and often are, used as
a substitute for bread, better than wheat
can supply the place of potatoes.

Remote Causes Of the Panic.

The trouble with us is our immense
mass of Indebtedness, both foreign and
domestic. 1t must never be forgotten
that by far the larger part of that in
debtedness is the direct effect of the in
dation of our currency. Our imports
for the year ended June 30, 1868, to the
year ended June 80, 1873, amount in
gold to S3,113, 126, AGA. Our exports
during the same period, in gold amount
to 1854, 5S5, 905. To the imports
should be added a large toll for the use
of British ships. At the beginning of
1867 we were already heavily in debt to
Europe, so TO that the round three humid
red millions we have run behind since
then must also be added each year a
large additional sum for interest. Let
rs now consider our domestic debts.
These include the bonds of railroad and
other corporations, mortgages on farms
and other real e~state--many of them
dating back to war times-and the loans
and discounts Of the national banks.
The latter amounted in April, 1873, to
S90S, 600, 600.
We are now exporting more than We
importing % because we are selling
very cheap !; (2) because the English
have experienced a tremendous rise in
prices, and We are not able to pay for
their wares ; (3) the English, being al
ready somewhat in trouble from short
crops, labor unions, scarcity of coal,
etc, and foreseeing a great deal more,
are drawing in and refusing to buy our
securities as they have been doing for
the last five or six years. Now our farm
ers are already in trouble because we
are selling their stuff so cheap. The
English are getting more and more in
troubles every day, and We, in the great
cities, expect to be as prosperous and
extravaganza as ever.
All we need, the doctors tells us, is n
little more green paper I! Not so. We
must come down to bread and water
and pay our debts. We have no choice
in the matter. We must continue to
send out of the country more valuable
things than We bring into the country,
until John Bull gets on his legs again.
john Bull is sick, and the farmers
are sick, and the trade of peddling rail
road bonds is annihilated. The reverse
We have met with is simply the begin
ming of the inevitable transition from
prosperous to pinching times.-Nep

One Victim of the Bank of England
FOrger.

The arrest in London of the Young
wife of Austin Biron Bidwell, one OF
Macdonnells associates in the Bank of
England forgery, was reported in this
city yesterday. She was charged, before
Mr.. Vaughn, of Bond street, with con
cealing the birth of her child. She
gave the name of Jane Georgiana Mary
Bidwell, and said that she was married
to her forger husband on the Sth of
February last ut the American Legation
in Paris by Minister Washburne. She
first became acquainted with Bidwell in
London mt an artists reception, but did
not know that he was n swindler until
liis arrest in March in Havana, whittier
she had accompanied him. She never
spoke to him aftcrward. Her father was
Col. Debremlx, a well-known officer in
the British army, who died in Madras,
India. Mrs. Bidwell is described as a
beautiful blonde, Is years old. She was
ashamed of her child's paternity, and,
1T is claimed, she allowed it to perish

A Murderer,s Confession.

Nelson E. Wade was hung at Will
transport, Pa, on the 9th of November
for the murder of an aged couple named
John and Isabella Mcbride, in July
last. The deed was one of the most
fiendish and brutal in the entire cata-
logue of crime, as will be seen from the
appended confession of the wretch:
81 am American born; md have re-
latives living neal here. I was born out
on the Blooming Grove road, beyond
the Poor-House. The afternoon I COM
mitted the murder I walked up the tow
path from the city went to McBride's
house, and calculated that it was about
the time they had done their milking.
Last winter, when 1 was at Glosser's,
near by, Mrs. CLOSER told me of the
trunk upstairs, and while I was there
last winter I made it my business to
find out how much money these old
folks had. On reaching the house on
Tuesday afternoon, 1 was met in the
yard by one of the dogs, which barked
at me. I soon made up with him, and
walked into the house, when Mcbride
wanted to know what l wanted there. l
told him 1 wanted a drink of milk, when
he told me to go to the cellar where the
old lady was. She asked me if l had
money to pay for the milk. From the
cellar 1 returned to ask the old man for
some bread, but found he had bolted
the door. When he unbolted it l
showed my foot in and the old man
struck Mt me. I then knocked him
down with my fist. The dog then made
at me, and I knocked him down. L
then struck the old man with the stick
three times, when he cried, Murder"
l then hit him another rap with the
club. / then went to the cellar and
struck the old woman /; but, as 1 have
told you several times, I did not shoot
her, as I had no pistol, but bought one
at Trout's yesterday. When 1 came out
of the cellar after killing the old woman,
the old man was up on his hands and
feet, and the dog was licking the blood
off his face. l then hit him again. l
then procured an ak, went up stairs and
broke open a chest, and found the trunk
l had heard Mrs. CLOSER talk about.
1t was too heavy, and l made two trips
that night. carrying away the money.
The club l used was cut in the woods
near by with a small jack-knife. If they
will look in the corn-field they will see
where the grass is trampled down.
That is where I looked over the money.
l got between 100000 and $4,000. l
will not tell where it is. When / come
to die l will tell some poor man where
it is but no rich man shall have it.
There are two bags buried in the city.
two above and two below. l have had
fifty names in my lifetime, but Nelson
E. Wade is my right name. Were to
do this over again I would exchange all
the silver for paper money, That's
what bothered me, it was so heavy"
Two or three days before his execu-
ton, when approached by n friend,
Wade said, 81 hope You will have the
execution arranged at as neal 10 o'clock
as possible. l have an engagement to
dine in h-ll at l., and / do not wish to
be disappointed"

for You. We speak of what We know
from nearly two years practical ex-
pcrience in the use of this indispensable
family medicine. It's office il to attack
a lazy. torpid liver, and impart new life
to this vital organ-a proper flow of
