OF Gov. kemper, of Virginia, to Gen. Mosby,
stating his position iD regard to a mooted third
election of President Grant, is attracting con-
siderable attention from the press North and
South. 1t will be remembered that he recently
visited the President, and afterwards wrote
certain private letters to Col. Mosby (uow a
Grant many expressing pleasure with the in
terview at the White House. lie wrote to
Mosby that 1t were better to elect Grant the
third and seventh term than go under Hughes
and his negroes" He says he is opposed to a
third term, but if the President should cut
loose from old party trammels and take his
stand on our safe conservative ground of uni
versal reconciliation and peace under the con-
stitution, and if so standing he should be op-
posed by any champion of the civil rights ini-
quity then, in a contest between the two, the
conservative party ought, in his opinion, to 60
decidedly but as an organized party, and not
otherwise, for the third term, and yet with a
protest on their lips against the third term
principle, and in spite of that principle. "
Then the President has shown conspicuous
softening toward the South and his tender
manipulation of Stephens, TOombs, Mosby
and other men of supposed influence in that
section, goes to add to the force of the twit
tings of the Republicans. The President has
said that he could have had the Democrat
ic nomination in 1868, and now, after nom
mating Greeley in '72, it is not improbable tina
he feels some assurance that he could get tht
nomination of the party for '76. If he should
be nominated for another term it would b.
more likely to come from the Democrats thar
the Republicans.

The WHEAT CRoP-Farmers in this neigh
borhood who have threshed their wheat tell
US that the crop is not more than a good
average one. The seasonable weather only
seems to have benefited the straw, without
adding much improvement to the grain, hence
the turnout is considerably below the expecta-
tion. There was nothing, however, to injure
the grain, in the way of rust, scab, fly, &C.,
and it is quite as good as could be desired
The price at which it starts off is the most
discouraging feature. Our market reports only
quote it at Sl.25. Last years crop started Of
at 81 As

IT is ANNOUNCED from Washington that the
Republican National Committee have drafted
an address to the people of the United States,
upon which it is proposed to fight the Con
gressional battle this fall. The n. Y. Herald
correspondent says it is an able defence of she
party The remarkable features are the ab-
sence of all eulogy or even reference to Presi-
dent Grant, and the admission that upon the
currency question the party is divided. The
transportation question is treated in the most
conservative manner, which it was deemed
wise to do, since the feeling about railroad
regulation runs high in Wisconsin and the
West.

Republican State Convention.

A State Convention Of the Republican Party. of
the State of Delaware, will be held at Georgetown.
on TUESDAY, the twenty eighth day of duly at /
z. NJ, for the purpose of nominating candidates for
Governor and Representative in Congress and the
transaction of such other business may be brought
before it.
In accordance with custom New Castle County
will elect seventy eight delegates, Kent County will
elect forty delegates Sussex County will elect forty
two delegates.
The Executive Committee of each County are
requested TO give notice early, of the number of
delegates appnrtoned 10 each Voting District and
the time and place of their election.
SPECIAL Train for the accommodation Of the
Delegates and al Republicans who desire to attend
the Convention, will be run of which due notice
will be given. HENRY F. PICKELS,
Chairman of the Republican State Executive
Committee

THE THIRD TERN QUESTION. Political dis
cHssions, as carried on by over jealous party
papers, are generally "trifes light as air,
tribes in which readers are getting to feel more
bored than interested. Sach is the character
ofthe third term question. There is no bot
ton teit. 1t was started year ago, during a
dearth in politics, for the Democrats to keep
up supply Of Objectionable argument to lash
the President and the Republicans with.
But, eddy enough, this loose discussion is
assuming rather strange turn. The Demo
cratic press, instead OF convincing the people
that the President is going to secure another
nomination from the Republicans, is now busy
arguing its own party out ofthe idea that hc
is not going to secure it from the Democrats
We.notice that some of the Republican paper
are 'twitting certain Democrats with trying u
capture him, while not few Democrat
organs show, in refuting the accusation, JUS
enough anxiety to convince the reader tina
Shey bave apprehensions. The recent letto

The FRATERNAL ELEMENT UNDER CULFI-
vATIoN.-One of the uses to be made of camp
meetings this year is to cultivate fraternal
spirit among the several branches of Metho-
dism. In whatever these branches may differ
on other points there is one thing upon which
they all agree, and that is camp meetings and
1t is proposed to use this universal point of ae-
quiescence to promote further concord, if not
a bond Of union. The Round Lake camp, at
Saratoga, now in session, has this special OBJ
ject in view, and is known as the "Fraternal
Camp Meeting of all Branches of Nethodsm -
No attempt at so broad and liberal an en-
campment has been made for thirty years, but
the generous response of men of mark in the
various divisions Of Methodistic belief gave
assurance of the success Of the enterprise sew
eral weeks ago.
Bishop James, of the NJ T. Church, is pre-
siding. He states that they propose to bring
together in heartiest harmony and fellowship
the whole body of Methodism, including the
Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, the Methodist Epis
copal Church of Canada, the Wesleyan Churct
of Canada, the Methodist Protestant Church
the Free Methodist Church, the United Breth
ren in Christ, the Albright Church ard three
colored churches, the African Methodist Epis
copal Church, the African Methodist Episco
pal Zion Church, and the Coored Church o
America. The United Brethren in Christ ar
branch of Methodsm in the West, with som
churches in Pennsylvania. and the members O
the Albright Church are, in the main, in Penn
splvania and Ohio.
Among The names of prominent minister
We see those Of Bishop Kavanaugh, of Ken
tucky, Of the VI. f. Church South; Bisho
Dogsctt, Of Richmond and Bishop Hover, {
AtIau.. ~, and other of the Souther
Methodistsan Methodist Protcstants, and sey
eraI of less note from Canada and the Wes
Bishop Kavanaugh, Bishop James and Re,
DR.. Pearne, Of Cincinnati, all of difFere,
branches of the denomination, assisted in ii
opening services last week. The meeting
the largest ever held at Round Lake A.

Jim Howard's "Lddle German Band are
to be at Collins's to morrow night, and large
party is expected.
The Methodist Sunday School picnic from
this town to Collins's, last Thursday, was by
far the largest ever held, and met the high
expectations of the children in their idea Of
going to Collinss." The bathing never was
better and the little folks and all enjoyed it tc
the full. This, with the funny songs of Jim
Howard, the chaste ballads of Mr.. Treidler, Of
Milford, and all the other good things, went tC
make up happy day.
The Ece,y E'rening thinks that the Demo
Gratis, to nominate such men as Mr.. Bright, Of
Wilmington, or Mr.. Hall, of Federico, would
have an obviously unfit candidate for Gov
ernor. But, with such men as James VIII
liams, of Kenton, John p. Cochran, of Mid
dletown, and DR.. John j. Rlack and Thomas
Hocomb, of New Castle, aud Francis Barry
of Wilmington, to choose from, they SHOULD
not allow themselves to run an illiterate candi

BASE BALL-An intensely exciting game of
base ball was played in this town this morning
between the Smyrna and Dover clubs, on a
challenge from the latter. Hundreds of peo-
pie witnessed the play under scorching sun.

The game closed at IL, NJ, with quite q
triumph for the Smyrnas, they winning by
81 runs. The score stood-Smyrnas, 40
Dovers, 2S and two whitewashes."
The Smyrnas organized on the lst inst.
when they played their first game, hence Il
trim" an old club, after only two weeks
practice, is rather inspiring to them. Th
next game is to be played at Dover, but tn
time is not yet fixed. Mr.. S. L. Kahn um

A LADY ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.-Last Friday
afternoon, about O clock, Mrs. Mary, wife of
Mr.. Jonathan Alice, living in Raymond S
Neck, on the farm of Mr.. James H. Hoffecker,
of Wilmington, about five miles from this
town, was found in the garret Of her dwelling,
apparently in a dying condition. She had at
tempted suicide by hanging, and but for the
breaking of the rope or bed cord it is quite GER
tain she would have accomplished her purpose.
When found, by her daughter we believe, she
was unconscious, and remained So during the
most of Saturday. She tied the cord, doubled,
over a rafter, which she reached by ascending
the steps leading to the trap door. it is sup
posed. After adjusting the cord she jumped
off, and the injury produced by the strangula
ton, together with the shock she received by
the rather high fall, produced injuries from
whi3h it is feared she cannot recover She is
very large woman weighing about 200 pounds
hence her weight was too great tor the cord tC
support her. She has manifested alteration
of mind and melancholy since last winter, wheI
she became concerned in religious matters
She is represented as person of high temper
and for some time she has been brooding ovel
the idea that she could not be pardOned fO
this fault or frailty of her nature. Her cOnduc
has been watched for some time by her family
though they were not lead to anticipate he
self destruction in anything she did or saiC
until the day OF her attempt. That mOrnin!
she asked for the laudanum bottle, stati ~
that she wished to alay irritation OF the bowel
caused by eating something disagreeing will
her. The bottle was hid, and that afternoon
she attempted the hanging
