Attend to Your County TAKE. +.

The Milford Ne,cs and Advertiser gives the
following timely advice
Wehope every Republican will remember that
an Act was passed by our last Legislature for
the purpose of enabling the party in power In
this State to defraud Republicans OF their suf-
frage with impunity. A Collector Of New Castle
Co., had been prosecuted and fined in an United
Statos Court for fraud in refusing to allow men
to qualify under our State laws for the exercise
Of this right; and hence the law of the State was
so altered as to allow them to do this without
danger of prosecution in the United States
Courts Now every Republican must hunt up the
collector pay his tax, procure and take care of
his receipt, he is liable to be returned de-
linquent and have his name stricken from the
roll of taX-paying citizens This is most likely to
happen to the poorer classes whose taxes are
small and all these should remember their liza
bility in this respect and pay at once.
Voters of the Democratic party need not trou
BILE themselves about it. as the collectors will
be careful that none of them are left off under
any circumstances 1t ID only Republicans that
run any danger of being thus disfranchised, and
we urge upon all these to pay their taxes at the
earliest possible time without waiting to be call
cd upon by the collector Hunt him up, pay
your own tax, and see that all your Republican
neighbors and friends do the same, or hundreds
of citizens will find themselves deprived of the
right to vote at the next election.

[Question by tha Wilmington cnMMRRGTALl
We agree with the J1urhdl that there should
be no political considerations in this matter.
But will the journal please to say, directly and
plainly what verdict il believes those twslve
Democrats would have given, II Cooch Turner,
the black man, had been on trial, having muir
dered Isaac O. West in the precise manner that
West murdered Turner? Let us hear its an
swer."
ANSWER by the Sussex JournalI
Let the color OF the respective parties or the
circumstances OF killing be changed or otherwise
we could not answer for the verdict of that Jury.
No calculation can be made upon the verdict OF
such ju-ies. 1t is not at all probable that a me-
fuepce," if he had that was the prico, and the
buncombe would have been all the same. This
much we do say without fear or prejudice, West
ought to have swung, and had he been tried in
this county he would have been convicted had
his skin been black as ebony or white as alabas-

place where she left them. Then she
came back, and said, just as plain as
your mother would say it. only another
way: "Cluck, cluck, cluck! You've
all been good chickens while I was
away; have you? Well, now We'll see
what good dinner we can pick up"
Out they rushed, pell-mell, as glad to
be let out of their prison, and as pleas
ed to see their mother again, as so many
boys and girls would have been. Well,
day after day this same thing happened.
1t came to be a regular morning per-
formance; and we hardly knew, what to
make of it, until one day we followed
old Mother Shanghai, and discovered
her secret. She had begun, to lay eggs
again, and was afraid some harm would
coTae to her young family if she left
them out in the field while she was in
the barn on her nest. So she took this
way of keeping them out of danger.
Of course, what she said to her brood
when she left them must have been:
My dears, my duties now call me
away from you for little while; and
you must stay right here, where no
harm can come to you, till L come back.
Good-bye" And then off she would
march as dignifed and earnest as you
please. She did this for a number of
weeks, until she thought her young
folks were old and wise enough to be
trusted out alone. Then she let them
take care of themselves. This is true
story.-7he Nursery.
