have been unable to get, was run over by a
-north-bound freight train, on the P. W. & b. r.
R., a short distance this side of Claymont. The

upon the track and started to walk on up the
road, and had just rounded the curve when a
following freight train came laundering along,
and he was not perceived in time to slacken up.
One ankle was broken and his foot cut off, and
as he fell back upon the COW catcher his head
was crushed.

another train, and the Coroner notified. He
summoned jury, which viwed the body and ad-
journed until "a o'clock, this evening.

EXECUTIVE MANSION.

% WAsHINoToN, September 2S, 1873.
To Messrs, N. b. Ct1ttin and Chds H. anthony
GENTLEMEN: In response to the views you
have communicated to me touching the present
stringency in the money market of the country,
and the necessary steps to restore confidence
and legitimate trade and commerce, have the
honor to communicate the following.
The Government is desirous of doing all in its
power to relieve the present unsettled condition
Of business affairs. which is holding back the inn
mense resources Of the country now awaiting
transportation to the seaboard and market.
Confidence on the part of the people is
the first thing needed to relieve this
condition and to avert the threatened de-
struction of business with its accompanying dis
asters to all classes Of the people. To re estab-
lish this feeling the Government is willing to
take all legal measures at its command but il is
evident that no Government efforts will avail
without the active cooperation of the banks and
moneyed corporations OF the country. With the
S14, 100000 already laid out in the purchase of
the Government Indebtedness, and the with
drawal of their large deposits from the Treasury,
the banks are now strong enough to adopt a lib
eral policy on their part, and by generous sys-
tom OF discounts to sustain the business interests
of the country. Should such course be pur-
sued, the s44. 900, 900 of reserve will be consid-
cred as money in the Treasury to meet the de-
mands of the public necessity, as the circumstan-
ces OF the country may require. Close attention
will be given to the course pursued by those who
have the means at their command of rendering
all the aid necessary to restore trade to its pro-
per channels and condition, with view to
strengthening the hands OF those who carry out
the measures above indicated, Orders have al
ready been issued for the prepayment of the
interest aocruing in November.

The Ynlne of Money.
IFrom the Delaware Republican. J

IFrom the DeIaWare Repnbllcan.l
Money is not always worth what it will bring
lit is only worth what it will make by economy
and good management in the business in which
1t may be invested. borrower may pay ten or
twelve per cent, but il his business will not yield
such sum, he must evidently fail if he contin.
ues the practice. The capitalist should under
stand this, and while he seeks to live, be willing
to lst others do 30. The interests of the bor-
rover and lender are mutual and when the lat
ter takes an undue share of the profits there
must be failure, and one or both parties must
suffer pecuniary loss. .. -

TIoN.
Correspondence Of the CommerclaLl
NEWARK, Sept. 20.
On Saturday afternoon the expected game Of
base ball between the Diamond State and Col
lege clubs came off, but with some feeling o,
disappointment. The score-Diamond State,
%; College, 13. At the 7th inning, the Diamond
State had made 81 runs to by the College club.
As the College nine had beaten the Agiles so
badly in their last match game. it was expected
that this game would be very close one, but
we were disappointed. Some very fine plays,
however, were made. A fine fly catch with one
hand was made by o. Courtney, and another by
Joseph Luton in the left hand, making double
play. A large number of ladies and gentlemen
were present.

ACTIVE OPERATIONS AND GOOD PROSPECTS,.
The prospect for the oyster trade on Chesa-
peake Bay is said to be very good. The st. Mi
chael's Comet of the 26th, says:
The agent OF a large company from New York
is now here, to purchase large Quantities Of oys-
ters for bedding purposes. The Company ahas
5000 acres of bedding grounds in New York and
New Jersey, which they intend to plant with
Maryland oysters They will require about I5.-
600 or 10000 bushels weekly, and promise good
prices for these bivalyes. The agent intends to
remain in st. Michaels until the oyster season
closes next May, to superintend the business in
the purchasing line. This will give our OYSTER
men constant work until the close Of the season
for taking oysters this fall and the spring also.
Altogether considered, the business in this arti-
Gle of trade will be unusually brisk here during
