Correspondence Of the Gd.ette.
DOVER, Del, Oct. 90, 1871.
Court met on Monday, but rs there
are but few, if any, important eases to
be tried, the session will be a short one.
The largest political meeting yet held
in the county will take place here to-day.
most eminent speakers in the State. and
probably Hon. Hester Clymer. of Pa.
will be present, and undoubtedly the
crowd will be an immense one.
Throughout the present political con
test the friends of DIR. Jump have been
endcavoring to impress upon the people
that he was the poor mans friend. that
he was never known in his long profess
aional duties to sue or push a man for
debt, &c. Not only have they preached
this from one end of the STATE to the
other, but have as persistently endeav-
ored to betray the peopls by circulating
false reports against the character OF
Mr.. Cochran. which have been proven to
be utterly untrue. without the least foun-
dation whatever. But now new phrase
to DIR. Jumps kindness and benevolence
to poor people has come to light Terri
i''Ns .ep dDoul,
ing that begging for votes, slandering
Mr.. Cochran and circulating bogus Dem
0cratic tickets won't save him, he has
now resorted to II scheme which for
IN 2anness and utter want of self-respect.
surpasses all others which he has yet at
tempted. He has, during the past week,
and it can be proved by the parties con
been getting out his old bills for
debt and sending them to Democrats
that owe him, telling them il they vote
for him he will give them the amount
they owe him. and that if they fail to do
so he will push them and make them
pay him. But like all his other schemes
to get votes he finds that this is not the
gone to play. The parties that he has
thus tried to frighten and bribe into vo-
ting for him are willing to see every
Thing they have on earth sold and they
themselves left penniless before being
Influenced by such consideration. Such
| man as this DIR. Jump, who is unwor-
.hy to be even a town constable or road.l
commissioner, deserves and will received
he condemnation of all honest voteriv

DEATH.

Eighteen years ago, upon our frst
coming to Minnesota, nc met, on the
Mississippi steamboat, a gentleman from
Indiana, James r. Case. Esq; who. like
ourself, was seeking home in the new
Territory. His wife and family accom-
panied him. One Of the latter was a
bright faced golden-haired little fellow,
still in short skirts. Mr.. Case and our
self settled in the same neighorhood;
and we saw the brioht-faced little tod
der grow up into handsome, manly
youth. A year or two ago ne. with an
elder brother. went to the new town OF
Montevideo, in Chippewa county, Min
nesota, and opened a country store UNI
der the firm name Of Case Brothers.

~ IMPORTANT MATTER FOR
FARMERS.

On Monday next the st. Paul eieva-

wagons. and in few weeks more from
cars. This institution may be made Of
great benefit to farmers Of Minnesota.
1t is perfectly safe. All the banks of
st. Paul, with the leading business men
Of the city. are behind it. Its capital
is $4,000, with $4,000 in bonds. The
elevator will held 100000 bushels.
The company are not grain buyers or

THE CASE OF con VERSUS
TRAIT.

The constitution provides that no
county shall be reduced to less than
four hundred square miles.
TO wipe out a county reduces it
to less than four hundred square miles
to nothing.
Therefore the action of the people
proposing to annihilate Monengalia
county, and merge its territory in Kan
diyohi county, was unconstitutional and
void.
Therefore Monongalia county still OK
lists. And, as it was not embraced III
the list of counties assigned by law to
the Second Congressional District, it
therefore does not belong to that dis
srict, but to the Third District. which
by law embraces all the counties not
named in the First or Second Districts.

TOO THIN.

A correspondent of the St. Paul

the poor railroads, says:

should the legislature say to A we will con-

but b can charge just what he pleases Tor his
surplus products, and shall no, be interfered
with.
But suppose the man with the stock
farm undertook to rob tn, railroad man
Of all he had, and reduce him to beg

II the State has no right TO interfere
with the Stock-iarmer profits, has the
railroad man right to absorb them

How can the railroad invoke the
whole power Of the public to take pri-

turn around and say that it is not a
public use. but that they are As much a
private corporation as the stoek-farmer
Is private citizen ! At what precise
point of time do they cease to be apuh-
