INDIAN SUPERINTENDENT EDw. p. sMITH On INDIAN
AFFAIrs.
Hon. Edw r. Smith, L. s. Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs, arrived in our city on Saturday,
in company with his friends, Mr.. and Mrs AL
word, and stopped at Heads Hygeian Home. In
conversation, Mr. Smith expresses himself in
hearty accord with PRESIDE nt Grants Indian Pol
icy he does not, however, have any sympathy
with the plan Of paying 8 large amount of cash
and giving 80 many blankets, ETC., to certain
tribes he thinks the result is necessarily vicious
and demoralking, tending to make this indolent
race still more improvident.
He believes that the treaty Htipulations should
be carried ont, but that the Indians should not
receive these monies and goods without fairly
earning them by manual labor, devoted to the
cultivation and improvement OF the valuable
lands which they hold and occupy. Iu no other
way he says, ID it possible TO better their condi-
ton, than by thus teaching them that bread il
the equivalent OF labor.
Mr. Alyord was President Of the Freedmen's
Savings Bank at Washington, and for a long
time struggled brayely and earnestly to over
come the obstacles which stood in the way OF
success Of that Institution. The labors and
anxieties incident to such efforts ss we're made
by him, resulted in great nervous proatratlon and
physical weakness, and lie now intends to spend
some time with his wife in tho Health Institution
OF Drs. p and NJ. II. Heall, where rest and ju-
dicious treatment will, we trust, restore him to
health.

kent County II. TX. Troubles.

ANOTHER CRISIS IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY
OPERATIONS cEAsED--A PORTION OF THE TRACK
TORN UP AND SOLD BY THE EMPLOYEES.
Another crisis has been reached in the affairs
of the Kont county r. r., from Masseys to
Chestertown, and operation has entirely ceased,
the last train having passed over the road on
Saturday. The afternoon train north on the
Delaware r. r. brought up on that day the pas
senger car which had been leased to the Kent
county Company, previous notice having boon
served Of the discontinuance Of the trains.
The precise reason for this step has not been
made public but is understood to be the failure
OF the road to pay operating expenses. The
company is said to be several months behind in
the payment of its train hands and employees,
and in order to obtain the money due them a
portion of the track of the extension from Ches-
tertown to Herring Ponds was torn up, last week
loaded upon three cars and shipped to this city
to be " sold, passing the full length
Of the Kent County r. r. in Its transit.
A day or two after the shipment Of the iron, sup
posed to be about thirty tons, magistrate from
Townsend came up to this city in search of it, but
failed to find it.
A decree for the sale of the road has been OBJ
tanned from the Circuit Court for Kent county
by the bondholders, and no Improvement in the
management of the road is looked for until af-
ter tho consummation Of the sale. Jay Gould
don't appear to be good manager on the Pc
| ninsula.
An effort is being made to retain the telegraph
which is in operation along the whole line OF
the road, and to this end proposition has been
made to the Western Union Co. to extend the
wires half mile into Chestertown, where an OF.
fee. fire. and lights are offered free of charge
We are not advised Of the action of the Western
Union Co,

BASE BALL-IMpRoYEMENrS-Ho EVE sPkEk
AND FIRE-PoLITIcAL, &c.
Correspondence Of the Commercial.l
NEWARK, Nov. 2.
The base ball match, on Saturday afternoon,
between the Colored Nine, of Elkton, and the
Colored Nine, of Newark, came OFF, the Elkton
Nine coming to time flushed with their former
vitory, and we had, as we expected, more fun
than little. The Newark Nine want some train
ing in the game, and they will make very good
players. by having some of our white players
on hand, they made better game that at Elk
ton, the score standing so for Elkton to % for
Newark largo number of people were pres
ent.
One Of the finest improvements that has been
made this season, ID the moving of the small
double house owned by Enoch Vandegrift
These two houses stood at the very edge OF the
pavement on the one side, and trees were on the
other, thus making the pavement only four feet
wide. atop extended one foot on the pave
ment leaving but three feet of walking space.
The improvement consists in the removal back
of these some 80 or 40 yards, making Stable
and carriage house of them.
Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, an alarm
of FIRE was given. Only few of our people
wended their way to the scene Of the conhagra-
| ton, and found it to DO the tenant house OF
Samuel @. Finley, Which was occupied by man
and woman. Report says they had been having
| Hallow-oye spree, and getting up, or waking
up, they were cold and made o lire in the middle
of the floor. AS a natural consequence, the
house took fire and nothing now remains but the
chimney. Tho party had only occupied the
| house for short time.
Things in the election line are very quiet, and
1 must say 1 never have seen in this place such
quiet determination written in the faces of our
people. It seems as if the voters have their
minds made up.
e. Morris Cloak paid our town 4 short visit on
Saturday. on his way home from Philadelphia,
where he is studying for the medical profession.
James Taylor, ESQ, who has been rustcating
at Kenneth Square for some weeks, for his
health, has arrived home, looking better. Flee
tions like holidays bring us to our homes.

EQUAL REPRESENTATIONS ARE FOR
1T AND WHO AGAINST IT

We cannot compliment the candof Or the
truthfulness of any one who pretends that the
Democratic candidates, even IN this county, stand
equally we'll with the Republican candidates ON
the question of Equal Representation. Such
pretence is not even plausible. In the first place
a. the Democrats in the Legislature have again
and again voted in opposition to equal represer-
tation, and the Republicans have as steadily vo-
ted for it. In tho second place, (2) the Republic
cans, In their State Conventions, have twice or
thrice declared explicitly their demand for it,
and their purpose to adopt measures to secure
it, the moment they have a majority in the Leg
islature, while the Democrats, on the other
hand have neither dared nor desired to place
a resolution on the subject in their party plat
forms. In the third place, 90 every Republican
newspaper in the State advocates and accedes to
the position of its party on the question,
while no Democratic newspaper in the State
openly approves equal representation, and most
OF them including both in Kent and SUSSEX, ,ridi.
cule and oppose it. Aud lastly,( A. no Democratic
speaker in this canvass has argued in favor Of
II, while the Republican canvassers, without an
exception, have made it leading point in their
arguments.

Now the only claim that scan be set up to show
that the Democratic managers care baubee for
Equal Representation, is the fact that in the
Convention of that party in this county, (their
State Convention being hostile and silent,) a
majority, by hard squeezing,got through reeo.

while they knew that their party, as State or
ganization, was opposed, utterly and ixedls, tc

They know too, that they were simply enactng a
shabby little political farce, which would deceive
nobody under the sun, above the mental grade
of ninnyhammer.
We do not mean that this subject, vital III i'm

yet be tardy, but it will mol come from Demo

BewareI!Attention Republicans

TO the Editor Of Me Commercial
great member of bogus Republican tickets
have been circulated in this city and perhaps
elsewhere in which James II. Ray,a Democrat, ,is
substituted for George L. Townsend Esq. running
for Senator from Appoquinimink Mr.. Ray has
been personally circulating these tickets and
representing that the rest Of the ticket is all
right
This is mistake; in their attempt to Secure
the Levy Court at all hazards no stone IL left
nnturned to secure the defeat of the Republican
candidates by any means in their power honora-
bic or dishonorable. On this same ticket the
middle letter of the name of Alexander Nl. Nail,
has been left out, 20 that should sufficient OF
these votes be cast, it will cause his defeat. II
will be the imperative duty of evtry Republican
10 carefully examine his ticket before voting, OF
compare it with the list published in the papers
DO not take ticket with the intention OF voting
it, except from a responsible Republican.
