yate. Six witnesses were examined

farm at Peekskill. The other lady was
closely yelled and could not be identi-
fled. After leaving the house she was
accompanied by Mr.. Ovington to the
residence OF Mr.. Beecher, on Columbia
heights. The other witnesses names
could not be ascertained. Mr.. Tilton's
cross examination will be male public

Greatly Exaggerated.

CAPE MAY, August 4.--The difficulty
that occurred on Sunday in regard to
sacred concerts and the Catholics,
has been much exaggerated. Father
began in speaking of them merely
stated that some. portion of the music
would be appropriate in the Catholic
church, as they were solemn to every
Catholic heart, and recommended his
members to come to church and hear
the holy chants in preference to at
tending hotel concerts. There was no
denunciation of Father began by the
Catholics for his action, in which there
was nothing wrong, as pastors are al
lowed by the priest to fix the time for
vespers to suit the convenience of
members. The Catholics here are
staunch friends of Father began, and
attribute to him no improper motives.

THURSDAY the case of Stackle vs..
Jennifee was on trial in the district
court, and the point at issue was the
determination ola written document,
comforting rights to Il certain piece of
property. After the investigation of
the case, the Judge charged the jury as
TO the bearing Of the document upon
the issue of the case and under its legal
Interpretation what their duty was, as
jurors.
The jury retiredand, to the astonish-
ment Of everybody at the bar, remain
ed out some length of time. When
they did return II was verdict for the
plaintiff Judge Masterson was aston
ished, and a low whistle of surprise
came up from the bar. Upon the ver-
diet being recorded, the judge ordered
IL set aside and q new trial granted, re-
marking to the jury that "they had
done exactly what they had sworn not
to do. They were to render Il true YER
diet upon the law and the evidence and
this they had not done"
The jurors evidently misconceived
the court, and honestly believed they
had right to determine the question
from the superficial facts, without ref
erence to the judicial Interpretation OF
legal effects by the judge. One of the
jurors said "he couldn't see the use of
having n jury If the judge set aside
their verdict that way" A truly
American idea, but not according to
the established relations of a Judge to
the court and the country.

Lying by System.

Honorable journalism never descends to a
systematic effort to deceive the credulous.
When the immense number Of repeaters and
illegal votes are taken into consideration, the
statement that the Radical party is composed
mostly of negroes may possibly still be erro-
neous; but the presumption is that it is true.
But there is not single man of truth and
intelligence who can affirm that the following
is not SO bold a Misrepresentation as to be
properly classed as a wilful misstatement;
and we presume it is made up on the principle
that the larger the writer the larger must be
the lie:
"There is about four and n half of the
whites to one of the black population" says
the Gazette, and it concludes that the same
ratio is maintained in the voting relation.
Very well. Mr.. Lohand's vote in 1872 was
1873 The ratio of four and half whites
to one black land we will do the Gazette the
justice to suppose that all the colored people
voted for Mr.. Lohand,) applied to this num-
Der will give $3.50 whites to 2,528 colored peo-
plea greater excess Of whites than we claim
ed from the election returns. As this calcula-
ton has the sanction Of Intelligent Demo-
Gratis" we presume the Gazette will accept it. /"
Commercial
Now, the GAZETTE stated that the total
vote in 1872 was 22,401; and of that the me-
groes' proportion, taking the ratio named,
would be 4,O74; and yet the bald faced at
tempt is made to make the readers of the
Commercial believe there was only 1928 negro
votes cast in 1872 for LoAand. And this, too,
after the Republican papers had claimed be-
tween 5000 and 5000 negro votes in the State.
Wilmington daily gazette., 1874-08-15


of we take its highest estimate Of the
strength of the colored vote, 5000 or 6,0OO,)
we still find that this number is less than the
white vote OF 1868, (7,623,) and does not help
the GdEette."-Commercidl
This is the latest mode the Commercial
adopts to prove that the majority of the
Radical party is not composed of negroes.
The Commercial will have to do better than
that if it wishes to escape being charged with
attempting to deceive its readers.
1t has found it necessary to disclaim its
reliance On the negro vote; and is devoting
its time to useless efforts to prove that the
Republican party is not in position to be
controlled by negroes. We believe it is ; and
we believe that if it were not for the Demo.
cratic party in Delaware every public school
in the State would now be in part controlled
by negroes. And further that it was the i'll
tention of the clique who runs and follows
the Commercial to have the schools opened to
the negroes in all the wards in this city. And
their purpose was to alter the State school
law so that they could be SO subjected to the
laws of the United States; knowing as they
did that as the school law exists the people
could refuse the school fund dividend and
then snap their fpgers at the Civil Rights bill.

Travelers' estim0ny.

Thousands Of travellers by land and sea have
vouched for the efficacy of Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers as a preventive of the physical disturbances
which ordinarily arise from change Of climate and
the changes of diet. water, &C.. incident to wan
derng life. Upon systems toned. invieorated and
regulated by this genial vegetable antdote the ex
ternal causes Of debility and disease seem TO pro-
duce little or no effect. Foreamed with Hostel
ter's Btters. the voyager may bid defiance to sea-
sickness and encounter the chilling fog, Of the
icy tenn perature of Northern Alaska or the burn
ing heat Of tho tropics, with equal impunity. The
effect of this admirable medicated stimulant is
greatly to increase the vital energy Of the system,
thereby enabling it to resist and repel the exciting
causes of disease. augl3to20
Wilmington daily gazette., 1874-08-15

Certainly great change has come over
the people, OF else they do not consider that
they are putting themselves upon an equality
with the blacks, by going to their churches
and camp-meetings, and sitting with them:
To our mind, it shows conclusively that all
this hue and cry about mixed schools and
churches, that we hear so frequently, comes
from the political leaders, for their own SELF
aggrdndisement and that the people, irres-
pective of party, attend colored camp and
other meetings in such numbers, is the very
best evidence of it."-Douer Sentinel.
That does not prove that the people desire
or would submit to mixed schools, any more
than a man working in his field with negro
proves that he should make a companion Of
him in his house. OF sit with him in church.

Our readers, who have read the Democrat
&c papers of the State, know; and those who
have not read them, have doubtless heard,
from them, the assertion SO frequently made
OF late, that the majority Of the poters of the
Republican party Of this State are negroes
This Is done, evidently, with the intent to
render the party unpopular and drive its
members to the support of the Democratic
party, which they call the White Mans
Party"
Now, there is really no favor in such an
assertion, were it true that the said majority
ls composed of negroes. '-Doper Sentinel.
Why then do you object to "the assertion
which you say has $50 frequently been made
OF later" Is it not because you are ashamed
OF your company Certainly it is, and you
have cause to be ashamed of it. And why are
you ashamed of it? Because you know that
they are beneath you and your race; that
they are too loathsome for white mems com
panions, and are really unworthy of the great
right which Jefferson asserted was nalien-
able
Charge back upon the Democrats that that
party is composed entirely of white men, and
let the people see if there is any reasonable
objection raised to your charge by your Dem
ocratic contemporaries. We feel proud that the
Democratic party is composed of men of oul
own race, and if the power in us lies to avert il
