At the regular monthly meeting of the
Temperance and Anti-Tobacco Society, of the

last Sunday, the following was offered and
unanimously adopted: ReSolUed, That the
Rev. John L. McKim, of Georgetown, Della

the respect due Christian minister.
Some sleepy people in Wilmington got mad
one morning last week. A fire company was
going on an excursion and rung their bell and
blowed their whistle before day, awakening
every one on the line. Those who were
walked up say it was an offence againts the
peace to be stirred thus just to crafty the
childish ebutions of few men who were
going abroad, and threaten to test the case in
future-if they amt the ones going abroad.
The Milford NeloS is now about to fall in

so long for his management of that "rotten

prising and intelligent business man. and

The Iowa CAMPAIGN.-It is just as we
supposed. The Back Pay gentlemen cannot
face those breezy resolutions of the Iowa Repub.
lican Convention. Gen. Logan is not going to
stump among constituency which has de.
clared his behavior Infamous he has "other
engagements" Senator Harlan has Cancelled
his appointments, or they have been Cancelled
for him. The two delinquent Representatives
Messrs Orr and Palmer, have also been with.
drawn from the canvass,-or, We suppose we
may say, have been turned out.
IL is an excellent sign when political party
makes an issue like this with its own leaders
a sign of vital honesty in the masses, and of a
public spirit above partisauship. And we
doubt net the example of Iowa will be initiated
more or less in other States. Not all commit
tees may show the courage of this one, in
stigmazing the unf4ithful servants in the heat
OF thscaInIsigp; but we may rest assured that
the Back Pay gentlemen almost everywhere

The PPoPoSGD SHIP CANAL.-The Balti.
more Gazette says:
eff a canal is built from the upper waters of
the Chesapeake across to the Delaware bay,
for the purpose of carrying coal to New York
by internal wateTways-w seems to have
been the primary object of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Ship Canal Company-we see no
reason why the present cahal, from the head
of Elk, should not be widened and utilized
and for such a purpose a depth of fourteen feet
of water would be sufficient This, however,
would not be ship canal. The ship canal we
want is one that would float the largest ships
and steamers that are bound to our port, and
that, crossing the peninsula, would come out
on the Delaware, near Its mouth. 1t is sheer
folly to talk OF a ship canal that would Oblige
vessels leaving Baltimore on an ocean voyage
to sail first northward up the bay toward the
Susquehanna cross the Peninsula by way OF
the Elk or SassafIss, and alter reaching the
Delaware forty or fifty miles from its mouth
sail down that bay to the Capes. In the first
place, the saving of distance would be com
paratively small. In the next, such cana
would be Theoretically closed by ice during
part of every winter, and when thaw set it
T.. vessels going up the bay, after leaving Nortl
Point, would be in constant danger from thu
enormous masses of ice brought down the
Susquehanna. In the hardest winters we cal
keep the PatapscO open with ice breakers o
sufficient power. But the experience of las
winter demonstrated that the most Difficult
part of the work was at Seven Foot Knoll
where the ice from the Susquehanna accumu
lated almost as fast as it was broken loose b
the steamer Maryland. The further we G
down the bay from this point the thinner tn
ice becomes until at Annapolis-thirty mile
down--t offers, even in the hardest winters, n
serious obstacle to navigation.
1t i therefore,, manifest, from the explain;
ton, - have given, that we must seek a rout
for a ship canal down the bay, and not up
for the reason that every mile we take soutl

THE LIQUOR LEAGUE.-The overwhelming
majority of the Republicans at the city cleo
ton in Wilmington, last week, was due in
great measure, it is said, to the action of the
''Lquor Dealers Union" an organization of
considerable influence and protege of the
Democratic party. On the eve of the election
this League or Union issued circular severely
criticising j. Maris, the Republican candidate
for President of City Council, for voting for
the new License Law last winter iu the Leg
islature The circular advised all members
and friends of the organization, in the name
of ''liberty, in its true sense" not to vote for
Mr.. NJ. or for any candidate for Office who is
in favor of temperance legislation. Such a
manifesto, from such an organization, aud
with the strong financial backing it is reputed
to have, frightened the people. To make the
sale Of rum as free as the sale of bread and to
make the demand in the name of ''liberty,
and to make it test question at the ballot
box, was too much for many voters, who have
the peace Of the community and the welfare o1
their own households at heart, to contemplate
Men not particularly temperance inclined OIL
an idea with any degree of composure. They
looked upon it as a stretch of liberty, not &
demand of that much abused word. The issu
ing of such manifesto was against public pol
icy and the tendencies of the times; agains
public taste and the interests of the party tha
fosters the League. Hence Mr.. McCaulley
the Democratic candidate for President o
Council, and an estimable citizen, was slaugh
tered in the house of his friends. Whateve
may be the opinions of men relative to the run
traffic it is quite eveident that free rum ha

They SOW to the wind and their customer

REHoBoTH CAMP MEETING ASSOCIATION

The grounds of the Association and the
improvements that have been made to them

the election almost got by without the country

/. 0. G. THE Grand Lodge of Delaware,
Independent Order of Good Templars, met in
annual session in Wilmington, last Wednesday,
Rev. A. D. Davis, &. W. G. T., presided and
u. ". S. McKendree DOwnham acted as

The annual reports Of the Grand Worthy
Chief TempIar and the Grand Worth Secretary
were read and approved. The former states
that while there has been decrease in the
number of Lodges reporting and paying dues
during the past year, numerically the order
has made some little advance in the State.
Among other things the Grand Worthy
Chief said As the Liquor Dealers League"
have laid down the gauntlet and have declared
they will support no man for Office who is
| favorable to temperance legislation, We are
towards if we don't take it up and declare in
return that we will vote for no man who en-
deavors to secure his election by whiskey or

Usher of the Sentinel temperance paper of
that city. Mr.. d. was the former Secretary OF
the Gand Lodge, and it seems that be has
kept back funds belonging to the order, to-

Row AT A CoLoRED CAMP.-A correspond
ent of the Ereru EUening gives an account OF a
big disturbance which he says occurred at a
colored camp near Middletown last Sunday
afternoon. A fellow named Price, a very large
negro, appointed as one OF commltte to keep
order on the grounds, came up with a cOlOred
man hailiug from Odessa, who was the
possessor of a bottle of whisky, which coming
to the knowledge of Price, he requsted his
companion to FORK over" request which
was not complied with, whereupon Price made
a furious onslaught on him, wrested the bottle
and contents from him, and beat him unmercl-
fully, leaving him inSensible upon the field
The correspondent says: The news Of the
attack soon spread, and in a short time the
| friends of the beaten man collected together to
the number of about one hundred and fifty,
and having armed themselves to the teeth with
guns, pistols, axes, knives and razors, made an
attack upon the camp, demanding the surren
der Of Price, who they fully determined upon
lynching on the spot. This threat so terrified
the campites that they dispersed like sheep
except about dozen of Prices friends, who
with him, took refuge i'll a tent where they were
held clOss prltOners for over an hour. Squire
Wilson, of Appoquinimink hundred, who had
with few other white men been uneasy
witnesses to the proceedings about the tent, in
company with Mr.. Vandyke now stepped
forward, and IN the name or the state com
man1ed peace, and ordered Price and his
i friends to come out and they should be prOtec
ted. This apparently added fuel to the flame,
and for few minutes, the lives of the two
gentlemen were in great danger, but by firm
nesss full explanation of the risk the mo-
was running in their actions, they finally gO
order, when Price came out aud was immedi
ately taken charge of by Wilson and Vankyke
and hurried out Of the woods to a place o
safety, followed at distance by the mob yelling
and shouting like so many devils The scene
