was sorry that right here in Kent county
where Mr.. Harrington was reared, where his
father lived a long and useful life and died an
honored death, and where he himself is so we'll
known, a newspaper devoted to the advocacy OF
Republican principles, should publish without
comment, the false and unfeeling statements
of the enemies Of man who is so able aud
eloquent defender of Republican principles,
and against whose character nothing has ever

surprised to see such charges in q bitter,
partisan, Democratic paper.
L am In a position to know, and do
know, that the AttorRey-General has never
expressed to Mr.. HarTiDgton's friends ths
slightest belief in the truth of the charges
against him, that he has never intimated To
Judge Fisher desire that MIR. HSrringto 4

fact, within the gift of Judge Fisher, and the
Attorney General has no control over it.
know further, that the Attorney General
did not refuse to allow Mr. Harrington g.
prosecute the Safe Burglary Case. Mr.. har-

a natural delicacy against coDductiug the prose

Politics are a jargon out West" if not
elsewhere. The Grangers, who are supposed
to have fixed set OF ideas which they propose
n carry out in spite of the politicians, seem to
."n been captured by the very element they
designed to put to fight, viz; these politicians.
In Indiana, according to the New York daiIies
the Democrats have successfully wooed and
won them, and are confident of achieving a
victory through their aid. In Missouri, on
the other hand, the Republicans have sue
ceeded in getting on the right side OF them and
the Republicans in the latter State are quite
as hopeful as the Democrats in the former.
Whether the Grangers have changed their
ideas TO suit the politicians, or the politicians
fixed theirs up to suit the Grangers we cannot
say. But if the latter stick to their pledged
theories then a Democrat in Indiana would
pass for Republican in Missouri, and bic
cersd-that is SO far a. principles" are con
cerned.
Another matter about which there is lack O
unity IS that of the currency question. Las
week, for instance, the Democrats of Indian
made platform which seems to have utterl
snuffed out the "hard money" theory. Th
contraction" Journals declare it repudi,
tion platform and the very embodiment of il
fatiOn, in that it proposes the payment of the
). gold bonds in greenbacks, and insists upc
printed rags in place OF hard money for Il
people. And yet, while the Democrats Of tn
state announce this as their fundament
theory, we see paragraph in the New Yo
Tribune OF Saturday to the effect that co

Custom HOUSE OFFICIALS AT LEwEs -
There was considerable excitement in this town
last week over the arrest of some OF its citizens
for smuggling.
Whether thay were guilty or not we will not
undertake to say, but the loose manner in
which the Custom House officials here perform
their duties is certainly very inviting to SNUG
glers, and no one but them ought to be blamed
for this commoton.
The orders Of the Treasury Department are
that all vessels from foreign ports arriving in
any United States port or harbor of shelter,
| Except the one where she is destined to dis
charge her cargo) shall, as soon as possible, be
boarded by Custom House official, whose
duty it is to carefully examine all the vessels
papers, and if the mantests of the cargo agree,
certify to them and forward copy by mail to
the place of the vessels destination. The YES
sci is also to be thoroughly examined and
matches sealed down.
This, in measure, prevents smuggling, bu
the government took extra precaution in thi
harbOr, viz:-appointed night inspector anC
two men to patrol the beach during the night
Also an Office was built on the beach so tina
one of the inspectors would be on the watch al
the time. The office has never been used.
In the future let the Custom House official
do their duty properly and the people will no
ba troubled with the United States Marshal
nor special agents. .-Bredktoater Light.

AN OLD MAID Who WOULD MARRY
The Commercial of yesterday tells this little
incident In one of the towns down the State
there resides and elderly unmarried female,
who is fast verging towards the grave, but
within whom her neighbors thought there still
existed desire to merry. So it was resolved
to put the matter to a test, and sure enough
she consented. The wife of gentleman we'll
known in Wilmington, but who resides in the
town, dressed herself in her husbands clothes,
called upon and made the acquaintance Of the
lady, and invited her TO promenade when
she, consenting. was led to the house of the
aforesaid married lady, whose regrets at moi
being able to receive the visitors were expressed
by servant at the door. Returning, tho
gentle woman chevalier grew profuse in hel
expressions of admiration and esteem for thu
maiden lady, finally making formal declara
ton of love, and inquiring if that love wa
t recprocated. To this the now expectant brid
replied that she thought it was" and al
: engagement was made at once and Thursda,
3 next fixed for the marriage. The visitor thel
departed and we understand that the maide
3 lady is making due preparations for the solem
nization Of her marriage ON that day.

Mr. HARRINGTON. Last week we published
two of the very m ny items that have appeared
in the public prints relative 10 Richard Harring-
ton, Esq, of Washington. These items, pub
lished by us, have wounded the feelings of
friends at Dover, as their publication in other
journals the county over, have saddened the
hearts Of the many friends of MIR. H. every
where.
In another column we publish a letter
correcting the impressions conveyed in those
general news items. And We publish the
letter willingly, notwithstanding the asperity il
manifests, with the hope that it will do good
The items we published last week, had We
passed them by, would have been read BY
friends of Mr.. II. in this State without beini
challenged. By our publishing, however, f.;
friend who knows is induced to correct tht
assertions, and give true version OF the case
thus relieving groundless apprehensions.
And we will state further, in this connection
that our correspondent has no right to constru
our desire to keep up with the public news a
an act Of unfriendliness to any person. Gu
feelings in this case are all the other way as W
expect its further progress to show.

PLEASE STOP. In our issue of the Sth there
appeared a communication assailing the nu-
merous dancing picnics which have been held
in the western part of this county recently.
The writer signed himself Morning Glory"
and he characterized the picnics in question
as " semi devil meetings" the attendance
upon which was made up mainly Of the de-
praved, the dissipated the sensual of society.
Last week We published reply, done up in
rhymes, the spirit and wording of which wa,
about as rough as the article to which it wa:
replying. 1t was intended ito be in kind, >
and certainly was so. Having published these
twO-the assertion and the rejoinder-we shall
publish no more. We have not room for
further hearing of the matter. Five commu
nications now stuff our letter box, to publish
which would fill nearly one side of the pape
with sour rhetoric, to the benefit Of no goot
cause, and to the infinite disgust of good taste
We have not room for all. and shall therefor
discard all and thus end a discussion tha
would run to almost never ending lengths
Four of the five writers take the part of tn
picnickers, but all of them but one try so har
to be as abusive to Morning Glory" a
Morning Glory was to them, that their al
ticles are little more than TRADES. Imagine

the hundreds of events of local interest give
in our short items. The most judicious write
defends the characters of the participants frol
the assaults of Morning Glory" and asser
that nearly all Of them are of the highest re
pectability and standing. This communicl
ton We should feel disposed to publis
but for its great length Morning Glory S
article was far better calculated to arouse
spirit of vindictiveness than to convince IL
picnickers Of the sin of dancing, and it is
put an end to this vindictiveness that we pr

REHOBOTH STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.-The
annual meeting of the stockholders of the Re-
hOboth Camp Meeting Association was held
there last week. About twenty stockholders
we're present, mostly Baltimorians.
Rev. }. B. Quigg, the Superintendent of
the Association, made verbal report of the
condition and prospects OF the work upon the
grounds The improvement upon Surf Ave-
nue. had been found to be very expensive,
from its roughness and from the fact that they
were compelled to fill in to considerable ex
tent embracing cost of probably $4,000. In
addition to this the heavy storms which occur
red in September and June last had damaged
the work which had been accomplished last
year, and that the repairs would amount to
81 900. He did not think that there was any
likelihood of such damage again. He thought
that the entire cost of grading would be $5,-
600. The expense to which the Association
had been put in improving the Surf House
will amount to about $1,000, and the expense
upon the camp grounds, in putting up houses
and making other necessary arrangements,
would reach fifteen hundred dollars, thus max.
ing a total outlay for the year of about $500.
Mr. Quigg stated that $4,000 would be neces-
sary to meet the demands for the year, and of
this amount $4000 was in hand from the sale
of lots, and ST. 200 was due from the rent of
the Surf House, and he thought that the reve-
nues of the camp would leave ouly balance
of 81 800 deficiency, and he proposed, IN order
to meet this, to tax the lot holders to the
amount Of $4,000, so as to leave fair balance
in the hands of the Treasurer, which would
meet all the demands for the coming year.
Arrangements have been made to continue the
permanent work upon the grounds, which had
been provided for SO far.
The report of Mr.. Robinson, Treasurer oi
the Association, shows the total receipts tC
have been $3l, ,293. 5S during the existence Of
the association, and $20,0ll.l9 since July l9
'73, with balance in hand OF $2S9, p. A
meeting of the directors will be held thi
week.

MORE WoRLDLINEss THAN WORSHIP AT Re.
respondent thus writes about the camp, in his
letter of Saturday:
The meetings. although well attended, con-
sidering the circumstances, seem to lack that
interest which is usually seen at Methodist
camp meetings, and up to the present time
but few converts have been made. This may
be because the camp is not yet thoroughly
started, and the interest may increase, which
promises now to be the case. The people and
ministers are beginning to see where the fault
is and are becoming more and more earnest
each day. There are enough people and a
great sufficiency of ministers to make the camp
grand success in all the best results for which
it has been established. We are sorry to see,
however, that the Surf House, in the evenings
especially, appears to have greater attractions
to some of the preachers than the meeting in
progress upon the ground.
The Surf House, in the evening, Immediate
y after supper, is the center Of all our fashion
and beauty. Here are gathered all the pretty
well dressed bellies OF Rehoboth. A constant
stream pOurs to and from the camp during the
entire evening and hack loads are being takeI
on and off in front of the veranda, making
scene of hustle and excitement which reminds
one of Cape May or Long Branch.
The tOetteS of the ladies, especially thost
from Baltimore, are equal to any thing seen a
either place, and we venture to state that fol
beauty the ladies' gathered at the Surf il
the evenings will compare with those at an!
other watering place in the country.

DEATH OF DARRAH, THE .BIGAMIsT.-MOst
of our readers remember the case of DIR. Dar-
rah. A number of years ago he was lmpris-
oned in Dover Jail for bigamy, if not pOligamy
Just after he had married beautiful and es-
teemed young lady of that town. The charge
vas brought against him by, we think, two
other wives of the Doctor who went to Dover
and confronted him in his guilt. He escaped
conviction however by a flaw in the indictment.
lie died in Philadelphia last Friday and the
following obituary notice, which we copy from
the Philadelphia Press, shows that his event
full life had happy termination. Says the
Press.
1.-The death of DIR. VIM. f. DaMah, prom.
nent and universally ly-respected homeopathic
physician of this city, brought cloud of sad
ness upon large circle of relatives and friends.
lie died last Friday evening at his residence,
No. 35 North Seventeenth street, at the age
of 81 years. month and l6 days. His death
was caused by injuries received from being
thrown from carriage, while visiting at New
port, K. |. The deceased was formerly resi-
dent of Patterson, n. j., where he won the
love of all with whom he came in contact
His career in this city had been singularly sue
cessful, and it's sudden termination will Ions
be mOurned. He leaves wife and one child.
His Dover wife was faithful to him to the
last. He was in this town last fall to secure {
sewing machine agency, and tried to play
sharp on a Mr. Hubbard, from down the
county, whom he desired to become his bonds
man, but his plan failed and he left the State
