Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1874-05-28


The CAPIToL.-The State Hous at Dover
las been completely metamorphosed. The in
terror has been torn out and resrraDged tn
inside wood work In the fist and second stor-
les Is solid walnut, and presents very rich ap
pearance. A mans .rd roof has been added anS
the building is now of quite pretentious pro
portions. 1t presents quite contrast to the
iormer capital building, and all who visit tht
capitol Of our State may well be proud Of the
Change.
AssEssoR.-We understand that John W
Griffith will be candidate for the Republican
nomination for Assessor and Collector In the
lster ID district of this city, next SEPTEMBER
lie Is competent man, and if elected will do
The entire work of the Office to the satisfaction
OF the citizens, and with considerable saving
to the city. A few years ago he was compli.
inented by the Levy Court as beng the best
Collector IN the County, and all who have done
business with him can testify to is honor
aud integrity. We are confident that the civ
will be the gamer by his nom nation and cleo.

lHE STATE BANKs, Hon. Eli Salisbury
presented a petition in the U. 5. Senate on
Monday, from citizens of Delaware. asking n
repeal OF the tax on the Ger ulation of Stale
DdiikS' Tue abrosi alton Of this tax would
lead to The issue OF notes by all the State
Banks, and would greatly add to the volume of
the currency. How any man opposed TO ipfla.
ton can favor such movement we cannot
understand The effect would be many times
more ooJectlohable than the bill vAtoed BY the
President as 1t would lad 10 the circulation of
money of doubtful character aud brokers
would thrive at the expense of the community.
HoasS'y'- Every man should give tull value
for whatever he receives. Iu buying and sell
ing au equivalent should always be reudered,-
A man that Goes not act on tins principle is
dishonest, no matter what his ptetensions may
be. The plea Of conformity to a contract,
where loss is Inevitable, is little better than the
excuse of a thief. The same remark will ap-
ply to inventions which are valueless. The sci.
Ter III such case should make restitution, rs he
has not a moral right to retain money for which
he has given no proper equivalent Many a
man has been robbed ui his hard earnings

benefited. The plea that the transaction was
strictly legal is no Justification. True honor
and integrity revolt at such excuse.
