GSY Looking over the list Of
candidates for county Offices,
we, without intending to dis
parage any oficials-for, as far
as we know, all have done their
duty-invite attention to-day
to the Tax-Collector's list. Ev-
cry one therein named, we have
no doubt, would fill the offi,e
satisfactorily. But we started to
say that a better officer than the
present incumbent, Mr.. Joseph
S. Hobbs, never handled public
money; and while his successor
may and we hope will be as good
an officer, there can be no better.
H We are informed that
two strangers arrived at afriend's
house in the north western part
of this county,last Sunday night.
Neither could speak a word of
English, and they were. naked
and destitute, not having a dime
between them. They were fur
nished with food and clothing,
and will be cared for till they
can do better.

At u Democratic meeting in Dover Thursday
night, Senator Salisbury came in about nine
o'clock and gave a good account of the meeting
at Middetown, from which he had just returned

the Senator could do such a thing.
Tho Democrats have arranged for meetings at
various prominent points in Kent county, be-
ginning at Harrington, on the 2ith, and continu-
ing thence TO the election.
Aletter writer at AIillsboro', Sussex county, has
been telling several of the Democratic papers
how difficult it was to carry Dagsboro' hundred,
this year a large number of Democrats had
beon cut of to make the new hundred of Gum
boro. There is something odd about this, for
Gumboro' though taking 30 many of Dagsboro'B
Democrats gave 81 Republican majority at the
Little Election
The Aliddletown Transcript admits that the
Democratic meeting there was fnot so large as
snch meetings usually are at Middletown." :"
Rather strange, wasn't it2 Senators Bayard and
Salisbury, and Hester Clymer for speakers, and
Mr. Cochran, and all his family aud tenants close
at hand.
The State election will take placa two weeks
from tomorrow.

declaim upon State issues2 Echo answers who.
They talk about the ''plundered and misgov-
erned South" but have nothing to say regarding
tho wrongs Of the people of Delaware. -Le,ues

The Democrats are now making extensive i'm
pOrtations Of foreign speakers. For this even

William II. Witte, (not VIM. e., as all their
announcements have it, played-out politician,
both OF Philadelphia.
In Sussex county, they say that there is no
rain heavy enough to dampen the ardor of the
Democratic politician; and no man has seon
him when he is not dry.

LARGE ASSEMBLY AT NEWPORT, SATURDAY EVEN
INd-sPEEcHEs AT THE HEADQUARTERS.
The Republicans held an enthusiastic meeting
at Newport, on Saturday evening, which was
largely attended. 1t was addressed by Anthony
Higgins, Esq, Mayor Valentine being too unwell
to attempt speaking in the open air. Mr.. Hig
gins made an elaborate and able speech, analyzing
with Just severity the "class legislation" which
has been enacted by the Democratic Legisla.
lures of this State, discriminating against the
poor man, in favor of the property owner. He
desired TO make no demagogue's appeal, but he
said the refusal to establish public schools,
which the poor man needed, and the rich man
could do without the provisions of the ASSESS
ment laws, requiring vouchers for the man with
ont real estate, and endangering his right of
suffrage, while the freeholder was amply taken
care of the opposition to exemption laws the
refusal to repeal the law for the attachment of
wages all these proved the fact that the Dem
ocrats in the Legislature systematically favored
the rich and degraded the poor.
Mr.. Higgins described the position taken by
Senator Bayard in this canvass. His attention
is devoted to the wrongs of Louisiana, but not
of his own State. He not only has no word of
reproof or criticism for the injustice which the
people of New Castle county suffer, and for the
anti-Reform position held by his party in Della
ware but he has even yielded his assent to these
election depends upon the result of this canvass,
and he waits upon the Democrats, of Kent and
Sussex t, again choose him. His lips are therefore
sealed as to..the injuries they have put upon his
own county. Mr.. Higgins was listened to with
attention. and repeatedly greeted with applause.
The Wilmington Gee Club was present and
sang number of campaign songs Altogether,
il was an excellent meeting, and will have good
effect, no doubt

The first speaker of the evening was s. A.

party by the printed laws with which he was pro-
vided

followed in able and mastery addresses, severely
critcising the actions of the Democrats, and
charging its legislation to be detrimental not
only to the laborlng classes, but to the manufac-
turing and commercial interests of the State.

did not como off. The preliminares were ali
settled, several days previous, and it was deci-

the game, the Captain of the Lenape Club came
forward and refused to play the match unless
the Rugbys would consent to use ball bor-
rowed by the Lenape club for the occasion. This
is what we call 'bocking out" A club of 1S re-

challenge and settling all the preliminaries to
its own satisfaction, is discreditable to the
