Mr.. Dupont Declines.

The continued use OF MIR. DuPonts name in
connection with the nomination for the Guberna
torial Office, and the repeated and persistent re-
quests shat fow in upon him from various sec
lions, has rendered it necessary that he should
announce formally his inability to accept nom-
nation, if rendered This, it will be seen, he does
in the brief but emphatic letter appended below.
This will be regretted by his very many friends
in both parties. 1t is but right and proper, how
ever, that he should let his friends and his party
know. in this public manner, since they would
take no private denial, that he could not permit
his name to 60 before a nominating convention,
and IL SO used successfully, he would. decline to
accept o nomination.
The letter was dated yesterday, but was not re.
ceived by us until late this morning:
WILMINGTON, April 9. ls74.
C. r. JOHNSON, Esq, EDITOR OF DELAWARE

Dear Sir win you please to state in
your paper that i am not candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor, and that |
will not, under any circumstances, accept norn-
inatsu for that Office.

same modes Of decision which now prevail be-

Of Nations" many years ago, he said:
LAW, order, government cannot attain TO that
complete dominion which is our truest safeguard,
until by the overthrow of the war SYSTEM they
cemPsehend the commonwealth of nations"-
while, as the result of all the profound study and
reflection OF lifetime, he declared his sincere
belief In the pIacticabihty of "organizing peace
among nations"
Unfortunately, MIR. Sumner, like all the rest OF
the politicians of his class and calibre lest con

MR. SAULsBURY AMENDMENTS did not meet
with favor in the Senate yesterday. They may
be right for all that When the currency bill vas
under discussion he offered two amendments, "a
follews:
Mr.. salisbury, of Delaware, offered an amend
ment prohibiting the Secretary of the Treasury
from paying interest ON bonds which have been.
or may hereafter be, deposited In the Treasury 10
secure circulation, except on the excess of the
par value OF such bonds over the average circula-
tien OF such association during the current year.
whiis such bends shall remsin on deposit in the
Treasury to secure such division. Rejected with
out division.
Mr.. Salisbury offered an amendment to the
frat section OF the bill, author zlng the Secretary
Of the Treasury to redeem legal tender notes on
January !, 1875, in sums Of $1,000 and any multi
pie thereof at the rate OF 500 10 coin for ia
currency end six months thereafter at tho rate OF

cy; on January l, 1878, 500 in coin for Sl02 in

deem them at their face value. Rejected-yeas Z,

Legal Satisfaction.

How sEN ERAL YOUNG MEN SETTLED THEIR rkE-
soNAL GRIEVANCES AND WHAT IT COST THIN
1t is sometimes curious 10 note the course of
cases wherein pai es who are slightly assaulted
seek the laws redress, only TO tud that their op
poncnts csn tu!n the tables on them by reSor.iug
TO the same law.
Before Esqr ra PAIL, yesterday, Edward Git
man was tried for assauIting Thomas Wilson, by
"strikn him II the face with his fist" Gilman
was fined 81 and costs. For participating in this
assault Jacob Ci umiller was fined u and costs.
But this was not the end. Before Esquire la
gany both Gilman and Crumiller sued w ilson ios
assault and battery. The latter was fined 81 and
costs and placed under bonds TO keep the peace
IN each ease.
These cases were quite extensive and testimony
| was gwen by about ten witnesses. The fines
md c, It's amounted to about $40, OF which each
paid nearly an equal part. This was their satis
| fact or for the personal injuries they received
| which, in themselves, We're very slight.
Before Esquire Publ yesterday, John Smith
was fined x3 aud costs, aud James Green - ant
| cost, for assault aud battery ON John Jones. Ii
| return Jones WAS fined 50 and costs Tor assault
and battery on Green.

Victory
vote was taken upon the question of the con-
struction OF the Washington Street Bridge
the .Brandywine, in the Levy Court on Wednes.
day, when the previous action OF the Court, in
reference to it rescinded This, of course, de-
fers any further work upon this bridge for one
year at least, and the county viii not be required
to borrow from fifty to seventy five thousand dol
lars. The vote, we learn, stood SIR Democrats
for resembling, to four Republicans iu favor of
going on with the bridge; one Republican refus-
ing to vote Of course his vote counted with those
against further expenditure at this time for this
work, and the vote was, therefore, seren against
and -four for the construction.
In smother year, with careful management,
New Castle county will be entirely out of debt,
and the people will haye great cause to rejoice
Nothing tends so much to extravaganza as debt
and nothing tends so much to make people care
ful of their expenses as the knowledge of theil
not being in debt. THIS may seem strange, bul
We belisve it is true, nevertheless. And the re
mark applies more fully 10 communities, state
and nations than to individuals
The Democrats have been in power in each o
tho counties in this State, and.the debts of eacl
have been worked down go low that each will b
free therefrom we think, during the comm.
year. and that too without increasing the yer
low rate Of taxation.
While this is the case with the counties til
State is paying off its debt at rate that will ren
der it entirely clear in about ten years, perhaI
in Tess time, if the management is good as
has been during the administration of Governo
Ponder. On the whole our Democratic peopl
have before them outlook that should Civ
them Q wholesome confidence with which to z
into the next election and win an oyerwhelmin
victory.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-About three O'Clock
on Wednesday afternoon, a WOmah-Mrs.
Brooks, resident of lIagerstown, Md, was
found at Sixth and Tatnall streets, in an al.
most insensible condition, and was taken i'm.
mediately to the City Hall. Here DIR. Duu.
ming who was called IN stated that the wO.
man was suffering from an overdose of laud
anum, and was in a very dangerous condition
He gave her powerful eme;c, and ero long
she recovered and was enabled to leave
She stated that she purchased the laudanum
at down town drug store and attempted IL
drink it there, but was prevented. She then
went out upon the street and took the dose
The suicidal attempt is attributed to domestic
troubles. Mrs. Brooks had with her flask of
| alcohol and quantity OF opium, and is sup
posed To be confirmed user of narcotics.
Yesterday evening Mrs. Brooks came into
| the police office for nights lodging. She
seemed to be under the influence of liquor
and during the night was very disorderly
quarreling constantly with another female
iodger. In the morning she departed, and
has not since been seen.

The Baptist Ecclesiastical Council at Chi

of Rev Florence Mccarthy, of the Union
Park Church, concluded its work on We'd.
nesday night. MI Mccarthy was charged
by deacons of his church with "unmnis-
terial conduct" majority of the Council
agreed on a report Withdrawing from min
isterial fellowship with the accused, but not
advising his expulsion fiom tho church. A
respectable" minority dissent from this
conclusion, and will probably publish their
view OF the case.
