THE BERRY TRADE The berry trade is grow
ing in astonishing proportions. The Dorchester
and Delaware Railroad has averaged from four
to i've car loads of fruit daily this week from this
county and there is going from the country below
ssaford an average of twenty-five car loads of
fruit daily, The Delaware tTaius are reaching
New York fve or six hours late. and Dorchester
and the lower counties raising fruit have sus-
tanned loss of one hundred Thousand dollars
This is evidently great exaggeration this
season on account of these trains being behind
time. No censure for this delay can be- attribut-
ed to the Dorchester and Delaware Railroad, for
their cars have always arrived at Seaford on
time.-C Cdplbridqe Nel0s.

THE PARK pURUHAsE-A TARDy ARD I'LL
a VIZ JUDGED OPPOSITION.


10 II Mr.. Hawkins end, MF. St0tsenburg meant
anything more than = faOtious opposition to the
Park purchase. upauestionably the proper time
for them to sgitste the question would have been
10 the three weeks between the favorable report
of the Park Committee and the fpal action of
l' Council IN this interval, there was ample op-
portunity, and they were fully advised of what
the Committee recommended The nevspap pers
published the whole report and set forth the
prpRositionin all its "details. If anybody meant
to oppose it in sincerity, and not merely
/, political mAn@nver, that was the time to hold
I own meetings or take other similar action.
But nothing of the kind was done. 1t is left
until i've days after the Council, by a vote Of
two to one, has adopted the proposition, to hold
meeting. and resolve to commence costly and
troublesome legal proceedings, which may eAsi-
" cost the Taxpayers large part of a year'a in
tsrest on the purchase,
Ip measure like this which the Council has
adopted, the Judgments of people may and do
- honestly differ This we freely admit. But the
Judgment Of Those who always oppose all nj ca
sures of public improvement falls, in time. I'M
del, reasonable and just suspicion, A few years
ago, when the necessity for widening wateriSt.
became apparent to those who looked ahead,
the improvement might have been made for
! fewthossand dolars. But The effort to do the
work was unfortunately defeated, and when at
last the widening can be no longer delayed, the
cost b ten times - great The same experience
lie to be related Of the King street widening. and
it is qaite within the memory of everybody how
q town meeting refused to accept as gift, a
splendid square Of property on the Lowering Es-
tate, which to-day, is worth probably fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars.
1he class of counsellors who advised these
short-sighted acts are not entitled to the public
respect. Their 'economy"is is waste. To neglect
to scquire piece of ground which is clearly
needed for the public use, while it
iR yet unimproved, and be compelled
to purchase it when it's value has greatly
advanced is no economy whatever but
folly. And in the present case it is Just as GER
tain that the city Of Wilmington will be ultimate
y forced, by the fitness and propriety of the act
to acquire the Brandywine Valley. for the use of
the public, it is certain that the city will con.
tinue to grow and prosper. The lands now
~ bought are already used for Public Park, but
they cannot be 80 used, permanently unless the
city buys them of their owners. They are not
public property, and never have been. Their use
by the public is legal trespass, and nothing
more nor less II the people want them, as very
plainly they do, since thousands enjoy them
continually, they must buy them honestly, and
not expect to trespass on private property

F THE CASE HAD BEEN REvERsED-COOCH
TURNER AND ISAAC WEST.

No one who knows the history OF criminal pro-
ceedings amongst us can doubt that if Cooch
Turner had killed Isaac West, in the manner and
with all shocking and barbsrous attendant cir
cumAtances which belong to Vests crime he
would have been hung, good while ago. He
would have been set down, undenisbly,s ,ss among
the ''black hends," and he would have been
swung up on the gallows, in short order.
So much difference does q mans complexion
make In reference to the crime Of murder.
Had Cooch Turner been in the dock, and Dr.
West in skillfully-dissected pieces ex-senator
Salisbury would not, of course, have appeared
for the defence, and while the jury in that case
as in this, might have contained just twelve
Democrats, there would have been no such earn
est efforts to prove Turner insane. Nor if he
had made confession, and while admitting that
be killed West, had declared the act committed
in self-defense. would the jury have listened for
moment TO so preposterous plea. Nor would
they have been in doubt as to the fact of Vests
death, on account Of the difficulty of recognizing
his remains after Turner had cut off bis bead
hands, and feet, and skinned his body.
While, therefore, West goes free of punish
ment for murder, we are obliged to admit that
Cooch Turner, in Vests place, would have been
hung. No one can deny it.
We nssd hardly say that this is not Justice
Justice is blindfolded, so that she cannot see
whether the prisoner at the, bar is Cooch Tur-
ner, with his black skin, or Isaac West with bis
white one. She is only to hear the evidence
End weigh it evenly in her balance. She takes
no note Of complexion.
When, friends andi brethren, will these farces
be ont Of date Is it not time that all citizens
were dealt with, under the same law, by the
same Judgment Is it not late enough to be-
gin to punish white man who murders a col
ored man, and to give cool and fair trial to a
.colored man charged with crime
