A MEETING OF THE IMMIGRATION Society
OF MILFORD vas held at the Milford Hotel on
Monday night of last week. The correspond
ing secretary, Mr.. VIM. p. Corsa, exhibited to
the meeting the newspapers, some tttyin num-
Der, in which, in pursuance of the objects of the
Association, he has had inserted an advertise
ment calling attention to Delaware as favor
able place for immigrants. The correspond
ence was voluminous, and included various
classes of inquirsrs, many of whom desire small
farms for fruit and truck raising, others mer
camille openings. manufacturing opportunities
&c. On review of the work of the AssOcia
ton since its organization nearly twOyears ago
it is found that while it has not accomplished
as much as could have been desired, it has no
been void of good results.

ToN-A funny trial before Justice occurred
in Wilmington on Monday, between two color

did not want to be mother, but was, and the
other married woman, who wanted to be
mother, but wasn't On the 23d of December
child was born to the girl. Miss Smith, and
according to prearrangement 1t was spirited
away to Mrs. Nelson, the married woman. 1t
seems, however, that the nurse who attended
| Miss Smith was not led into the secret, and
when she missed the child she feared ioul
play had been wrought, and to clear herself she
had Miss Simth's mother arrested and taken
before a Justice, but as she produced the child
at tie trial the case was dismissed. But in a
few days the nurse, being made uneasy by
some means, again appeared before Esquire
Publ, accom- mpanied by John Nelson, the hus-
band of the married woman, who testified that
the child produced by Mrs. Smith at the for
mer trial was his wife's that Mrs. Smith had
borrowed it for the purpose Of getting herself
out of trouble, and that the child was born or
the evening of December 23d last. Mrs. Smith
was again arrested and tried and various

birth to q child on the night in question. y

OBITUARY.
Memoir of Miss Josephine Rowe.

Memoir of Miss Josephine Rowe.
Miss Rowe was the youngest daughter
of the late Mr. James Rowe, merchant,
of Dodgeville. She was young lady of
bright, vivacious disposition (the very
life of the household), and "a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church and SUM-
day School,in all of which relations her loss
will be deeply felt.
For some three weeks previous to her
death she was specially devoted to the
work of preparation for Eternity, often
expressing her wish for the offices of de-
votion.
Her isease,-Consumption, attended
by frequent hemorr hage,-was slowly but
surely carrying her away from widowed
mother, a sister who seemed as if she
could not give her up, either in life or
death, and large circle of relatives and
sympathizing friends. Yet her departure,
we feel, was but transition from earthly
friends to long line of ancestors Of the
old Methodistic stock, whose home has
been for generations home for the Minis
ters of Christ.
May her family and all her associates be
admonished to prepare for the final hour;
and if cut down as Josephine was, in the
midst of youth and beauty, may their end
be like hers, calm, hopeful, and confident
in all the merits and grace of risen
Savior. .s j. KNIBBs.

The Madison Democrat says if we
should have Democratic legislature
next winter and they should be bought
up Gas they probably would be)
by the railroads, the people would be
no worse off than they have been for
the past fifteen years under Republi-
can rule, as the railroads during that
time were allowed to regula tie their own
charges. The Democrat certainly can
not mean that this would have boon
different if its party had been in power
during that time. We do not rocolleet
having seen any deolara tions on the
subject in any Democratic@platform un
Gil quite recently, and SO far under our
present Democratic administration the
railroads seem to have things pretty
much their own way, even in spite of
che laws of tho State.

THn suit of the Attorney Gensral,
ssking for an injunction to compel the
railroads TO obey the law, came on for
Aearisg in che Supreme Court at Mad
lson on Tuesday, but the day was most
~ used in settling some preliminary
points. A Chicago paper thus fore
shadows the line of argument to be
pursued by the counsel Of the railroads
In resisting the motion:
"Their main point will be that no
injunction can be issued in such case,
as they are amenable to the penalties
prescribed for violation of the law,
which can be enforced against them if
they disobey it. An injunction might
just as we'll be issued against thief
to prevent him from stealing. IF a
man steals he is amenable to the law,
and has to suffer the penalties prescribed
for violating it, and therefore the COM
pany cannot possibly be enjoined from
violating a law when certain penalties
are prescribed for its violation" The
same paper says that the managers of
the Northwestern Railroad are conf
dent that the injunction will not be
granted but adds, s'Should the decis-
ion be adverse to them, however, it is
said that they will run fewer trains aud
give second-class accommodations"

THE theory of American confsca-
tion does not appear to have been I'M
derstood by those parties who rushed
South right after the war to purchase
confscated estates. The words Of the
constitution relating to the subject
have been recently affirmed by q de-
oision Of the Supreme Court of the
United States. They read as follows {:
''No attainder of treason shall work COR
ruptiou Of blood or forfeiture except
during the life Of the persons attaint-
ed" 1t will be seen atsence that the es-
tates purchased under confscation can
only be held by the present holder
during the natural life Of the person
attainted. On his death his heirs step
into the possession without let or him
drance. The knowledge Of tho situa-
ton has led alrea dy to a number of
compromises, and in other cases a sim
cere solicitude as to the health Of the
ejeoted owner. The new and incon-
siderate purchasers are to be pitied
for their Ignorance of the constitution,
bue We can see no help for them.

WE publish this week a communica-
ton from prominent citizen Of Iowa
county in regard to the coming Con-
grossional nomination. We cordially
endorse what he says about the gentle.
men spoken Of as candidates from this
county. They are both able, honest
mon, best thought of where best known,
which We consider the highest recon-
mendation any man can have, and aside
from any local preference which we
may have for them, as being candidates
from our own county, we could very
heartily support either of them as a
man who would make a faithful, re-
liable and competent representative.
The main thing, as our correspondent
suggests, is to have a fnll expression
of the will of the party at the pri
ma1y meetings., and if this is had there
can be out little doubt that the candi-
date nominated will be one that the
Republicans Of the district can cordial
~ support, and that he will be tri-
umphantly elected.

TIE Reform organs find much con-
ISOLATION in the following, taken from the
Appleton Post, Republican paper,
of recent date:
It may be that Gov. Taylor is gull
ty Of all that is charged against him,
but if so there is no virtue in his guilt,
and if his administration suffers no
greater shock than this paper has pro-
duced It's fate will be much happier
one than we have anticipated. After
the black and damnable political rec
ord which Sat. Clark has made for
himself in this State, we don't propose
for one to tender him any sympathy
in any movement of his, even though
it tends to disorganize the opposition
party in power. And we think it
quite creditable for Republican jour
nails to give him quite severe letting
alone ,lest lie should claim relationship
to them in the future. Indeed we are
rat her pleased at the fate which seems
awaiting this pot house politlcian-that
of being shut out from communion with
all existing parties; or like the char
acters in Dante's Inferno, which were
damned at the mouth of hell. 1t is
plain to be seen that his criticism up
on Gov. Taylor proceeds from the
most sordid and selfish motives, and
that his allegiance to the so-called Re
form movement depended solely upon
the probability Of his securing office
under it. Because he has been dis
appointed we see no reason why he
should be encouraged to enter the Re-
publican fold.
The above is pretty good denunci-
alton Of Sat. Clark, but for our part
we fail to see how that helps the Gov
ernor. The question is not, should
Sat. Clark have an Office? but did Coy
ernor Taylor promise him one and then
fail to keep his word ? Proving Sat.
Clark bad man only makes the case
against the Governor worse; for he
used Sat. to help himself into Office, all
the time promising him reward, and
then broke his promises.

FARMERS report different effects of
the chinch bugs on the corn. General
ly those who have talked with us say
the principal injury is near the edges
of the field, and that proximity ofwheat
fields has much to do with the extent
OF the injury. Thus one farmer reports
a small field of corn surrounded by grass
fields, in which the chinch bugs, as yet
nave done no injury, while his neigh
por.s field "a long narrow one of 20
acres, with small grain fields on one
side and at each end--is already much
injured, - Western Farmer.
