DELA WARE STILL FREE.

When all the adverse circumstances
are considered under which the Demo-
Gratis went to the polls at the "Little
Election" it really appears Providential
that the white people We're not utterly
defeated. 1t was known that the Dem.
ocratic party was unorganized in each
OF the counties. Kent and Sussex had
Just got their nominations made and
there had been no time for active orga-
nization; and in New Castle count we
We're but little if any better prepared to
meet the boastful and arrogant foe that
threatend to crush us out under the
weight Of its popular majority in this
city at the last State election of 81 hun
dred. While this was the case with the
Democrats, it was known that the Radi-
Gals had completely organized the ne
groes into leagues in each of the coun-
ties, the plant members Of which were
ordered to the polls almost to a man. In
this city the greater part of those voting
IN several Of the Republican wards were
negroes; and this was also the case in
st. Georges, pencader Red Lion. and
APPOINTMENTS Hundreds in this county.
and likewise in Dover and most of the
Hundreds in Kent and Sussex counties.
Had the contest been us formerly, le-
tween the white people exclusively, (be-
fore the Radicals brought the negro to
the polls to secure ohice,) the majority
for the Democratic officers would have
been double what it is.
1t is well known that the negroes, on
election day, abandoned their work al
most to man to go to the polls. While
this is the case the white people find it
more difficult to abandon their pursuits
and attend the election when the ques-
ton seems SO trivial as the choosing of
Election Inspectors and local officers. In
November the whole white population of
Delaware will feel deeply interested in
preserving their local institutions from
falling into the hands Of Radicals and
under the influence Of negro dictation,
and the consequence must be a trench
dous majority for the Democratic candi-
dates. There is no question now but
that the paramount wish of the people
is to keep the State in the hands of the
whites, and with this view and to this
end the labors Of the Democrats are d.
rected.

The Terrible Effects Of Passion

The Terrible and distressing case OF
shooting which took place last Tuesday
and has resulted in the death of poor
boy and destroyed the limb and impeiil-
ed the life Of another, is only one more
Of the convincing proofs Of the danger
of handling deadly weapons by those
who are subject to violent temprrs. The
law makes no allowance for this; and
the man who gives way to passion and
kills another is to all intents a murderer,
although he may escape the full punish
ment OF the law because it cannot be
proved that he premcditated the act

Radical candidate for Congress, was tx

he had been allowed to secure; and as

and then take back the receipt when
the vote had been cast.

HATTERS.

The Asheville papers Of the 25th
ult. contain an advertisement an
nouncing that the sale of the West
ern North Carolina Road was not
eonsummated on the 18th, the day
previously fixed by the Commission
ers, but has been postponed to the
FIFTH day Of August. 1874. The EG-
P0sitOr says the postponement was
in consequence Of the injunction is
sued by Judge Watts. Since this act
of postponement, it appears from the
Raleigh papers that Judge Bond has
also issued an injunction on Il mo-
ton made in the case H. Sway vs..
n. G.. r. r. Co. and D. Jenkins. The
EGpositor says this litigation will
have the effect to retard for a time
the work of consolidation. Ifthe man
ayers of the North Carolina road can
make n satisfactory arrangement with
these bond holders the work will pro-
coed. All the holders of these bonds
desire is the prompt payment of in
terest, and if the building Of this road
will better enable the company to pay
its liabilities, it would seem that they
should be satisfied. The enterprise
is a business transaction Of great
complication, and it will require time
to adjust the difficulties. Ultimately
the project will succeed, and it is on
~ question of time.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACI

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.
It will, perhaps, seem foolish for
rs to refer again to the subject Of a
Democratic candidate in this Dis
trict. We have heretofore express
ed. as emphaticaIly as we know
how to use language what our opin-
ion is. We have not changed. We
feel sure there is no chance for a
Democrat to be elected. In making
this statement we do not deny but
that we would rejoice in knowing
that a Democrat could be elected,
Some of our personal friends, with
whom we are also in full political
sympathy, are inclined to make the
race. We wish there was hope of
success; but as there is none, why
attempt to keep up appearances
when the past, and the outlook now,
clearly indicate the result? The
leaders of the Radical party want us
to have a convention, and put man
on the track, so they can consolidate
their party. We are opposed to any
convention of the sort, in this Dis
trict. IfCol. Mcclellan, Col. Green,
Maj. Clarkson, Capt. w. D. Haynes,
Gen. John Slack, Esq. Baumgarn-
er, Col. Rad. Ellis, or plain Mr.. Joe
Rice, of Hamblen county, or any
other of the distinguished aspirants
we have heard named as willing to
make the race, wish to try their
strength, let them pitch in-individu-
ally or collectively-let it be en-
iphaticaHy free fight, as it ought
under the circumstances to be. But
when it comes to nominating a par
ty candidate, we oppose it, and op-
pose it honestly from the best mo-
tiyes. IF we could see any good re-
suit in the future for the country or
the party, we would not speak. so
emphaticaIly. but as we cannot pos
sibly see where the good viii come
in, we must. as q conscientious journ-
alist speak plainly our opposition to
any convention, and express the
hope that the fullest liberty will be
extended to all our Congressional
aspirants to air themselves before
tbc soyereigns.
