MR.. EDITOR Will you please insert
the following statement in your valu-
able paper
We, the undersigned have been infor-
med, on reliable authority, that DR..
Jump, the Republican candidate for
Governor, said while visiting Middle
town to attend tho Agricultural Fair,
recently held in said place, that four of
Mr.. John p. Cochran's tenants came to
him and told him that they intended
to cut or scratch Mr.. Cochran's name
off their ticket and vote for him, Jump
which asser ton we declare to be false
without one particle of truth in it, and
challenge him to the proof. How any
man, and especially a man who is be
fore the people of Delaware as a can
didate for the high and honorable posi-
ton of Governor, could degrade him
self so much as to make such a state
ment which is without a particle of
truth in it, is more than We can com
prehend.
How different from the Father of
our Country. 1t is said that he could
not tell a lie We make this statement
without personal any ill feeling towards
Doctor Jump, but simply to vindicatc
our own characters; Tor, after laOOrlng
openly and actively to secure the nom
ination of MIR. Cochran, then, after he
is nominated to go secretly to his OPP
ponent and tell him that we intended
to vote for him, our conduct would be
like unto Judas-that OF traitors, which
character we are not willing to bear. We
whose names are annexed include all
the tenants Mr.. Cochran has in this
State, his four sons excepted may be
they promised Doctor Jump. Let him
explain.

Our Senators.

On Tuesday last large number Of the
Democrats of Sussex county assembled
at Georgetown TO hear the Hon. Thos. f.
Bayard and Hon. Ell. Salisbury, our
able and respected Senators. discuss the
issues of the campaign. The day was
rainy, but the attendance was large and
the meeting spirited. Mr.. Bayard's
speech was II timely and happy effort,
and when he spoke of the affections Of
the South, and told the simple story Of
her wrongs, the tears relied down the
cheeks of many an honest face. The
speech was II model; temperate yet for
chile. eloquent, touching, entertaining
and convincing.
statesman, and while the pictures he
drew seemed like fancy sketches, they.
in reality, but mildly depicted the suffer
ing and wrong Of our fellow citizens of
the South. Mr.. Bayard was earnest, but
by no means violent; the speech was
polished, eloquent and displayed the big
soul and the patriotic devotion Of the
speaker.
Thomas +. Bayari stands to-day Sec
ond tn no nan in this country; Sussex
county Democrats look with pride upon
the record and achievements OF this
worthy son of illustrious ancestors, and
the very fact that Mr.. Bayard's return
to the U. - Senate is determined by this
election il IL sufficient guarantee that
those who love his pure character, and
admire his unselfish devotion to public
duty will make that return certain.
Mr., Bayard was followed by Hon. Eli
salisbury, who in an earnest and forci-
bic speech depicted the horrors of negro
rule, the infamous and unnatural results
OF Radical legislation, and the Civil
Rights bill.
Mr.. Salisbury is an honest man, true
man, and the people of Sussex county
always listen to him with pleasure He
il one Of the most active members Of the
senate. He is always found at his post
of duty and his vote is always recorded
with the party he represents and sup
ports. 1t is said by Mr. Bayard and
others that Delaware has never had a
more useful and devoted Senator in
Washington than Mr.. salisbury. Della
ware Democrats need and ask no truer
or ADLER men in the u. s. Senate than
those We now have, and while the party
Is in power it will uphold the hands of
the men who have bravely and ably
stood i'll defence Of right and Justice
These men need encouragement from
the people, and the people deeply and
earnestly sympathize with them in their
efforts to stay the tide of Capitalization
and negro supremacy

WASHINGTON, October THE Sec
rotary of War telegraphed to General
Sherlden, at Chicago, to-day, inquir-
whether it would embarrass him by de-
taching regiment of infantry from his
command to be sent South for service
in that section. If the demands of the
carpet-bag Congressman who are now
hanging around Washington were ac.
ceded to, the whole army of the United
States would not suffice to supply
them with troops. The President has
in effect delegated the command of
the army to the Attorney General, and
SO far as that official is concerned there
Is no reason TO question his disposition
to oblige his carpct-bag friends to the
extcdt of his ability. The telegram of
the Secretary of War to General Sheri-
den was induced by the application of
the Attorney General for more troops.

and meat and sausages were scattered
around promiscuously, furnishing rich
feast for hungry dogs which soon col

steps of one of the houses along the

Faults in Elocution.

Excessive vehemence of utterance and
its opposite fault, an indolent indiffer-
ence have been considered in q previous
paper Aside from these are numberless
mannerisms or peculiarities of speech
posture, and gesture which it is the
province of elocution to correct.
Bishop Berkeley once suggested that
half the learning of the land was rem
dered useless by neglect of attention to
pronunciation and delivery in early edu-
cation. The glory of man is speech, as
the good George Herbert has said, and
therefore, he argues, nothing is little in
Gods service" We have an innate
sense of fitness to which speech and
action should conform, but this is vio-
lated by those oftentimes whose literary
taste in other respects is almost faultless.
THOMPSON once read his Seasons to a
friend in private. The gentleman, after
listening awhile, snatched the MS. from
the poets hands, because he could no
longer endure the murderous mutillation
of beautiful sentences by wretched read
inc We have had similar feelings in
listening to scripture and hymn-reading.
Nasal tones, upward infections and a
sing-song marking of the rhyme, the
conslral pause or poetic feet torture a
cultivated ear, Add to these a stopping
posture, swaying of the body to and
fro, Struggling of shoulders hands in the
pockets, nervous grimaces of the face,
ewes turned to the ceiling or to nobody
in particular, aimless gestures and other
infelicities of manner and you have a
picture true to lite. An English writer,
Daniel Moore, says, 1--WE fear it might be
said to many who boast that they never
had recourse to
'sThe start theatric, practiced at the glass;s
the greater pity that you never had. For
if some of your gestures and grimaces
had been practiced there, we feel sure
they never would have been repeated

sash, sombrero hat, and heavy pair
Mexican silver spurs, which made q
clinking noise as he strobe in the ROOM
The weapon which caused the death" OF
the unfortunate Ephraim Taggart was in
his belt. The expression "caSsed the
death" is delicate and happy. The dis
cussion was varied and animated After
some talk Colonel Gordon was called
upon to ''explain how the difficulty arose"
which he did in manner highly satisfac-
tory to himself. 1t seems, he said, that
the trouble was purely accidental, and
came from ''playing with a pack OF cards
containing Eve aces" Mr.. Taggart had
unjustly charged him with cheating be
cause of his having three aces. Now there
was nothing on which to base the accusa-
ton. He might even have had four aces
1t was possible without any cheating on
his part He had the same grounds for
charging Taggart with unfair dealing
But he had refrained from so doing
Who could say which particular ace
formed the fifth ace? Colonel Gordon
deeply regretted the unfortunate occur
renee" but under the circumstances,
and as gentleman" he chad no other
course to pursue" We hear nothing OF
the five Spectators. The meeting, how
ever, 'scensured' Colonel Gordon for "hav
ing been over-hasty in defending his
honor"
To those of our readers who complain
of the dull routine of pleasure, the quiet
sameness and monotony of life at Sara
toga and Newport, we recommend a trip
to the Hot Springs of Arkansas; there
will they find life, movement and excite
ment, combined with the comforts and
elegances of refined home" But should
they meet Colonel Charles Gordon of !
Galveston, Texas Che will be easily re-
cognized by his red sash, sombrero hat
and clinking spurs), they will no doubt
give him very wide berth. Arkansas
is great state it has an abundance of
hot springs, high mountains, big rivers,
and packs of cards with five aces; and
finally. one Governor not being enough,
it had two. One-half of the population
came very near exterminating the other
half to determine who really was the
rightful Governor; and had it not been
for the United States authorities blood
would have flowed there like the water
of the Hot Springs. .4..a--
