New CASTLE Court commenced on Mon
day. Out of the one hundred and eleven ap-
plicatiOns for license to sell liquor 10 the county,
seventy two we're disposed OF by the Court,
yesterday, of which only thirty three were
granted, the remaining thirty nine heing either
refused or withdrawn. or failing from techni-
cal reasons. Many of those which have failed
are of the " saloon" class-simply places for
the sale of liquor. On the other hand, the
hotels established and known as places of pub
lie entertainment, have generally received Ii
cense.
Yesterday TUESDAY morning, the four bank
robbers, Francis Carter. Edward Halburt, Jos.
Lawlor and james Thomas were arragned and
plead not guilty" AS they were brought
into court by the Sheriff, the excitement be-
came almost dsorderly. MessIs. John . 'Byrne
and Anthony Higgins have been retained for
the defense, and the opinion seems to prevail
that conviction is by no means certain. Oh
this we will know more, very soon.

Nor WHAT THEY EXPECTED "A meeting
ostensbly in the interests OF the Working
Mems Relief was called in Wilmington last
Friday night, and a large number attended.
Mr.. George Day, who, it seems, had the meet
ing called without the authority of the organi-
cation named, addressed the audience. After
talking a while about the interests of the or
ganization, he branched off on temperance and
spoke Of the 300 licensed places in that city
which eat up $3OO.OOO, of the working men &
money, yearly, and he was afraid many of our
working men were lying their cash upon the
counters of the liquor dealers, while they were
running hills of credit with the grocer, the
butcher and the baker. He said there were
remonstrances against the licenses Of liquor sa
looms in circulation, and he had with him a

BISHOP CUMMINs' CoURsE.-We publish in
full, in another column, the letter of Rt Rev.
George d. Cummins, D. D., assistant bishop OF
Kentucky, to Bishop Smith, of that diocese,
stating his intention to resign and to retire
from the duties of the episcopate. The action
of Bishop Cummins is dictated in view of the
conflict of views of the High and Low Church
parties, and also in consequence of his partlcl-
patton in the recent joint communion service In
New York, and the discussion thereon ensuing.
This action on the part of so high dignitary
will Of course add fresh fuel to the flame OF
controversy. So far as we can judge from the
letter Of DR.. Cummins, his purpose is to with
draw entirely from the Episcopal Church.
We infer so from this expression, viz:
therefore leave the communion in which have
labored in the sacred ministry for over twenty
eight years, and transfer my work and Office to
another sphere of labor" But some of his
relatives in this town, with whom we have
conversed, are of opinion that he will continue
to worship by the formulas of his Church in al
Independent capacity, like DR.. Cheney, ot
Chicago, without recognizing the ecclesiastical
''red tape" that has heretofore bound him SC
tightly as to deny him all religious fellowship
with his friends of other denominations. H.
preached in Methodist pulpit in New Yorl
city Sunday week, and referred in touching
language to DR.. Durbin, who was present, a
the author of his conversion.

CHANCELLOR SALISBURY Ponder
has appointed Hon. Willard Salisbury to the
vacant Chancellorship The exalted char
acter of the Office Of Chancellor, as well as the
upright walk and chaste conversation" of
the eminent men who have filled it, have at
tached to it sanctity hardly second to the sa-
cred desk. A character without reproach is
as much demanded for it as are great legal
talents. And yet, for man who has shattered
his faculties and his frame in debauching his
seat in the Senate OF the Nation, to be taken
from Kirk brides to be seated in this the high.
est position in the gift of the Commonwealth,
was well calcu lated to produce the regret, not
to say Indignation, that has been manifested.
Mr. Salisbury is brother in law to Gov.
Ponder. Nepotism is repugnant to the public
mind, but it can be entirely overlooked when
it stands in the way of eminent personal fitness,
es was the case when ex Chancellor Bates was
appointed to Office But when it asserts itself
over every consideration of fitness and ofhcia
propriety, as in this case, it becomes repugnaD
in the extreme. 1t shows " cheek on Gov
Ponder that is entirely too tough to defer tC
or even see public sentiment, or else it has de
yeloped weakness of resolution in him tha
makes him the cat's-paw for the official greeC
of the family he serves.
Chancellor Salisbury is man of talent ant
legal ability. But that talent and ability ar
not of that superlative character, in contras
with other men Of his party and profession, a
to make the Governor ignore his disgustin
habits to get him at the head of the State ,Ju
dietary. He is not even so well qualified a
several gentlemen who were named for the ar
pointment. but who had too much self-respeC
and professional propriety to " huckster' for tn
Office. Mr.. s. is not so well qualified for tn
reason (if no other that he has been out {
the routine of his profession for many year,
When we speak of the qentlemans ability
however, and review his career of twelve yeai
in the U. S. Senate, we cannot say that it mar
ifested itself in craftsmanship. There is nc
single measure to his credit, and the onl
thing that the country will remember Of Lii
In that career is his crazy conduct He oppo.
ed the measures Of other men by long an
well worded speeches, that emptied the ha
OF listeners when there was nothing excitin
in his conduct, but he never suggested an
thing better, and never established prestig
among his associates.
We have no doubt that, as stated, Mr.. Saul
burr has promised reformation, and we hop
he may stick, but in view of his many violate
pledges of the past, We fear the ermine is
danger of being smurched. But whether it
or not we think, in view of his past cours
and the uncertainty Of the future, that it W
an insult to the bar and the bench to sele
him, and piece Of affrontery ON the part
himself and brothers to make che selection.

u s. Mar ahaL for The District af Del.

Dear ST:-At the recent session OF the u. s.
Circuit Court, for this district circumstances came
TO the knowledge Of George V. Massey, Esq, and
myself counsel for the delendents 10 the civil action
Of the United States against Charles II. r. Day,
Isaac Jump, John Woodall, Nathaniel b. Smithers,
John w. Cullen, and Wilson l.. Cannon, which led
to believe that the following are true charges
against you.
/. That either you, as Marshal, or some person
delegated by you, hud packed a Jury against the
rights of the defendants.
2. That either you Marshal or some person
delegated by you had Purposey neglected and re-
refused to summon any Jurors from the county of
Kent, wherein all the defendants reside and are well
known as leading citizens
3. That you Marshul had returned 10 the Court
that yeu had summoned Thomas }. Davis WIN. F.
Reville, Richard NJ. Johnson, Isaac H. ID. Knowles
and l.. A. Jenkins, and that Kent county was their
place Of abode, when you well knew that all of said
gentlemen then resided in SUSSEX county.
4. That alter making such unlawful and false re.
turn. and uHeT is falsity had been discovered and
without any leave Of the Court, YOU procured the
alteration Of said returns To make IL conform to the
real facts, by striking out the words Kent county
for the purpose Of destroying the evidence of false
return.
| s. That you as Marsha did in violation of law
and Of the command Of the renTs. instead Of select
ing the jurors n said panel, committed the selection
Of said jurors TO other PERSONS aud for that purpose
sent TO such PERSONS Bank summons, signed by you
to be filled and served at their discretion.
6. That you not aware who had been selec
ted and summoned jurors until such persons mad'
return Of their selections 10 you.
| Z. That you have, on several occasions prior 4
the said term OF court, entrusted blank summons
signed by you 10 different persons with authority
select such men they might please, fill in thei
names, and summon them as jurors.
The right given 10 you under the rules Of Court q
select jurors has not been lawfully exercised in thes
particulars. II is a iearfOl power to be vested il
any one man even when exercised in a most con
scientious and careful manner. / feel that IN tn
respects above mentioned it has been greatly abuse
aud that both IN my capacity Of citizen and counsel
il is my duty TO call attention to such abuses.
Yours, truly,
Il SAMUEL M. HARRINGToV.
