TEE GREAT GEHTEEEIAL-AED WHAT
AB0UT IT?

What shall be done in Delaware, for the Gem
tennial2 The amount Of stock in the great Gel
ebration, which our State is entitled to sub
scribe, IL sl25 600, and thus far, we believe that
atlesst s1ok 99a. remains unsubscribed. although,
according to the terms Of the arrangement, the
books will close on the Oh Of March, proximo,
after which our right to this large sum lapseH;
and % is liable to be gobbled up by some Syndi-
cate, perhaps absorbed by Mr.. Gowen in the
Reading Railroad interest or seized upon by the
Union Passenger Railway Co., of Philadelphia.
The question is-what are we going to do
about III? Delaware fought bravely for tie
Cause of Independence. From Brandywine to
Rutaw Springs, her sons poured out their blood
for liberty, Rodney hurrying from Dover, So
cured the favorable vote for the great Decls-
ton. Delaware's Legislature was the
very first to adopt the Constitution. Such was
the record of the 1776 period. We have come
now to 1875, and how do we stand Is our pc
triotic spirit all ebbed away A hundred years
ago, there were "Three Millions of Colonists, on
Strip by the Sea, and now there are "Forty Mil
lions Of Freemen, ruling from Ocean to Ocean" :"
Delaware has grown with the Republic. Does
she not mean to join in the general acknowledge
ment and celebration Of this grand prosperity ?
The question of money is the only practical
one, after all. Whether s125,OOO of stock can be
subscribed in this State, we do not know until
the effort to get is fairly made, but it must be
remembered that there is no likelihood Of the
subscription being entirely, or even in large
part donation. The expectation is that it will
be returned, in the shape Of dividends, almost
completely, and it is even possible that there
will be q surplus The greatest cause Of expense
is the erection of buildings, and these it is est
mated, (being constructed of iron and glass;,
may be sold after their use, for at least forty
per cent. of the original cost. Adding to this pei
csntage, the immense receipts from admission
and the sums to be realized from the rental oi
restaurant and ether privileges, and it is plair
that large part, at least, Of the full subscrip
ton will be actually in money Beyond this, ther
is the patriotic purpose of the Celebration, ant
the great advantages, direct and indirect, sure
to result not only to Wilmington, but TO ou
its whole State, by influence.

New Hampshire holds the first spring election
this year, and the candidates for Governor are
Ezekiel A. Straw, Republican, and James A.

Charles R. Ingersoll, Democrat, have been nomi-

A B,ina.1lao ejopfesse. MURDER,

At indianapolis. blind man, named William
II. Beck, notorious character, was arrested,
early Monday morning, on his .own confession
that he had murdered Mary Kennerly and Gath
arine Gwinler, aged eleven and four years. The
murders we're committed on the banks Of the
White River, near Indianapolis, in June, 1870,
and created intense excitement at the time. The
mystery surrounding them, however, WAS impen-
etrable, and no clue could be obtained to the
murderer. Beck has become blind since the
murder OF the children.

Outrageous Cruelty.

One of the most outrages cases Of cruelty on
record occurred in Marshall county, Tennessee,
according to the Lewisburs Gazette, a week or
two since. Two drunken men found a poor
man bAre-footed, and procured a pair of horse
shoes, and with hammers and nails proceeded to
nail them on his feet, using their knives free
ly in parting the feet to make the shoes fit.
