DVOL. LXXXIv.--NO. 427. WILMINGTON, DEL, SATURDAY


Mr.. oHNsoN:--Amongt the prominent demo-
Gratis whose names have been proposed in the
columns Of the GAZETTE as snitableC Candidates
of the Democratic party for Congress-, permit
the writer, as well as for himself for many 9TH
er friends OF the cause, to suggest the name OF
JAMES M. JOHNS ESQ.,, of New Castle, whose
knowledge Of our public affairs, fealty to the
party, culture to the qualifications to represent
and advocate the interests of his native State
on the floor Of Congress, whenever the occasion
may require it, compare favorably with the
prominent gentlemen heretofore proposed for
that important post. From Brandywine to
Baltimore Hundred, for a century, the name
of Johns has been historically and honora-
bly, identified with the jurisprudence Of the
State. This may serve to thicken other assur-
ances tending to demonstrate that his nomi-
nation would meet with friendly recognition
at the ballot box. Moreover not alone the agri-
cultural, but the growing commercial, and ex-
panding manufacturing interests OF Delaware
require, at this juncture,a Candidate for the
Democratic party, possessing the enumerated
qualifications, which the friends OF Mr.. Johns
claim for him. The Republican party, backed
by its negro allies, is already Haunting in our
face its Civil Rights Bill, threatening toAfri-
canize our school houses, and subvert ou +
social frabric. In the piping times Of peace, q
mute in Congress is tolerated because unnotic-
ed; but in these clustering times of hard
knocks" tho Democratic party of Delaware,
cannot with advantage enter into the contest
with congressional candidate like this pres
entincumbant incapable ofvoice and utterance
of tongue. FIAT JUsTrTA.

AN Ice HOUSE FOR FIVE DoLLARs.-A neigh
bor of mine, says n correspondent, has an in
closure of about six feet square in the clear
refuse timbers thrown closely together, with
regard to form or comliness. The roof is made
Of hemlock boards. The entire cost of this
building didlnot exceed five dollars, and. prac-
tieally considered, it as a success; not ambitious
of containing thirty five loads of ice, but sim
ply Ave loads. Ten years this little, unpre-
tentious house has been used for ice. and never
yet dishonored q draft upon its crystal depos-
it. About six inches of sawdust was spread
upon the ground floor, and in packing space
of nine inches was left between the walls OF
building for sawdust, and about nine inches OF
sawdust was spread on the top of the ice, and
the thing was fixed. The three main princi-
pies observed here will always insure supply
OF ice, viz good vetilation, good drainage, and
plenty of sawdust. With these rules adhered
to, a corner of any old pen-shed will prove
quite efficient in preserving ice.

BEECnER-TILTON.

NEW YORK, August 14.--The morning and
evening papers Of this city of course have ex-
tended articles on the narrative of the pastor,
but, with one or two exceptions, refuse to
commit themselves fully, preferring not to
decide upon the innocence of Mr.. Beecher till
the verdict of Plymouth Church has been
formally rendered. The Herald goes even fur
ther, and says it may be necessary to suspend
Judgment until the question is tried before
that higher tribunal, before which Mr.. Tilton
announces he is resolved to bring it. Among
the Brooklyn papers the same disgracefully
partisan spirit that has all along characteriz-
ed their utterances is again displayed-the
Argus looking upon the published denial as
very weak, while the Eagle finds it convenient
to speak OF it as an exposure OF one of the
greatest outrages of the age. prominent
member OF the committee, in an interview this
afternoon, said that their report would proba-
bly, be submitted next week, and that they ex-
pected to hear from Mr.. Moulton again, as his
testimony was simply threat to the commit
tee.
rILToNs OPINION OF THE NARRATIVE.
New York, August 14-Mr. Tilton told a
reporter to-day thatBeecher's statement need
ed no other answer than the one which was
written by Moulton week ago, and which for
the sake of peace Moulton withheld from the
comm:t..ee. The suppressed statement of
Moulton must now come orch.
Reporter. Will you say anything as to the
points Of Mr.. Beecher's letter.
Mr.. Tilton. No. not to day. have read it
very hastily. My chief interest in it is its at
tack on Moulton, which is base beyond paral-
lei. Moulton is out of town, and know not
what course he will take, but know this that
Moulton has only to tell the plain facts, or,
what he called in his preliminary speech to
the committee, the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth-he has only to tell this
just as suppose he has written it in his full
and complete statement, and the result will
be to annihilate Beecher's denials of adultery,
and TO leave him in theattitude of a desperate
man, who to save himself from the truth has
restored to an array of falsehoods which can
not be characterized by any other words than
infamous
