culture the blacks own a beautiful tract Of land,
which they have converted into q fair ground.
The place ia well improved. and it always pre-
sents a neat and striking appearance to those
who view il from their carriage windows driving
along the public highway. In the purchase and
construction Of these grounds the blacks have
had the assistance Of the whites, for the whites
recognize the Importance OF cultivatIng habits
OF thrift and industry among those
who only few short years ago we're
in state OF vassalage. And in tho
management OF the colored fairs the whites are
always ready to lend q h.lpirg hand. They
freely grant their servants and tenants the priv
ilege Of taking their finest specimens Of cattle
and their best horses ts the exhibition, and
therefore it Ia q common thing to lind on the
grounds Of these colored fairs AnimAls OF prin-
cely pedigree and OF national fame. There il no
partisan feeling in the movement. Ihe leading
white citizens, regardless OF political faith unite

TIE LITTLE END OF THE ATRoCIoUs WEST
CASE

The West Case is ended, and the result is III
diculously disproportionate to the enormity Of
the crime, To be sure. an imprisonment for
two yesrs-if the Governor does not pardon him,
sooner-is some punishment, and more satisfac-
tory than the clear escape from all penalty which
seemed probable, hut it very inadequately cor
responds to the shocking murder which West
committed. There is no one who feels that JUS
tce has been done, and however little anxiety
we may have to see the gallows set in operation,
1t is very unsatisfactory reflection that men are
hanged every year in this State, whose crimes
we're of a lower grade and not half 80 notoriously
proven as was this atrocious butchery at Dover

Attempted saicido Of DssisI Gallagher

TAKE HE owE LIFE.
The reported suicide Of Daniel Gallagher,
which has been passing currently about town all
dAy. has some foundation. The following are
the particulars. gathered from gentlemen who
have seen Mr.. Gallagher .ince the occurrence of
the affair.
The attempt Of Mr.. Gallagher upon his life
was not made ct his home in this city. but upon
his farm some three or fonr miles south OF New
ark He had gone down there in company with
a gentleman to whom he wAa indebted in sum
of money which he could not raise and either
surrendered to him, in lieu of the debt. or as
security therefore. pair Of horses. But the
burden of bis obligations seemed sti'l to rest
upon his mind So yesterday afternoon, he bor-
rowed a razor from Mr.. James Mecum, tenant
on the farm. for tue purpose, AZ he said, OF
shaving Mr. NJ. aud his wife were in the room
with Mr.. Gallagher at this time, but while he
was sharpening the razor Mr. NJ. left the room,
and his ife sOon followed him going into an sd-
| joining apartment Sue had not been there,
| however. but a moment or two. when she heard
| the sharp exclamation Of oh, proceed from
| Mr. Gallagher. and re-entering the room she
| found that he had rolled up bis sleeve. ard with
4 the razor had inflicted deep wound quite
| around the forepart Of one Of his arms, from
which the blood was freely flowing.
| A physician was at once sent for. but had no
| arrived at 80 at which time Mr. Gallagher wai
| unable to speak and his extremities we're grow
ing cold. Whether he has since died or not VI
have no knowledge.
Two gentlemen rom this CITY, Cunning in the
neighborhood. were informed Of what had hap
pened, who visited Mr. Gallagher and then hur
ried on to Wilmington to break the sad news l.
his family. This morning, Mrs. Gallagher an
her son-in.law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Ret
man, started for the farm, but up ~ 230 o'cloc
this P. NJ had not returned.

POSTPONING JUDGMENTS IN GRIM.
INAL CASES.

Preliminary Action OF the State senate
With Reference Thereto-Is Any Lcgis-
lation Neededs - Recorder Hackett
Thinks NOt-His Remarks Thereon.
At the opening OF the Court Of General Sessions
yesterday morning Recorder Hackett said MY
attention has been called to article in OF the
papers yesterday, referring to the legislative pro.
eeedings In the State Senate, in which, on motion
Of Senator Benedict, a resolution OF inquiry was
moved to be addressed to the Clerk of the Court OF
General Sess ons and of the Oyer and Terminer
of this county, to learn from him the number Of
suspensions of judgments which had occurred in
the two Courts since the year 1869. 1t appears
was referred to the Judiciary Commit
tee. Upon my own motion I now direct
ss Go tins
ment containing all final sentences that have been
postponed BY the action OF this Court from the 1st
upon proper showing has been exercised unques-
toned for long period OF time, and think,
rightfully. Whenever conided to the discretion Of
uprigt and intelligent Judge the OF justice
would be aided, not injured. PostponIng the judg-
ment OF this Court has often been done upon my or
der upon sufficient merit0rous considerations and
upon motion OF the District Attorney The
exercise OF the power referred TO- Is i'm
properly styled suspension Of Judgment.
1t is postpOnement of sentence upon the Courts
own mot on, melton OF the District Attorney,
and the prisoner is permitted to depart on his own
time and at all times, he is held subject to the
order OF the Court, and upon the motion Of the
District Attorney, or for any cause, the Court will
proceed to pronounce dnal sentence. This p0we r
has been exercised unquestioned in the Court from
time immemorial. so am informed and OF my own
knowledge by ex-RecOrders John L. Hoffman and
James NJ. Smith, Jr.. and the different city judges,
and should deeply regret that the exercise Of this
power should be abridged by any Legislative action.
The Clerk will at once prepare the statement and
cause II to be placed in the hands OF tho Chairman
OF the judiciary Committee of the Senate.
