The most important event that has happened
in the town of New Castle, in spite of its an
cient laws and the well known subdued at
mosphere that pervades the town. took place at
ten minutes Of two O'Clock ON Saturday, October
31st, 1874. On that day the first product Of the
Tasker works was turned out-.a three inch tube
which will be nickel plated ard cut up into
fragments for preservation as mem 'utoes of the
event Yesterday active operation were begun
in the works, and employment WAS afforded to
about two hundred and sixty men.
The "Tasker Iron Works." which mp to that
time, were looked on as an experiment and view
ed with some disuust, (other improvements
having been a failure) then proved themselyes a
perfect success. After all expenditure of about
six hundred Thousand dollars, and The Constant,
uneeasing thought of the managers of the
Works it can be said to-day that The State of
Delaware, and the town of New Castle, has the
privilege of claiming for her own the entire
monopoly of the Boiler Tube business OF the
Eastern and Southern States.
With a consumption of over one hundred
thousand tons of COAL and twice that quantity
of iron per year, with works that cannot stop
night nor day, with a production fully equal tu
the consumption, can there be any doubt as to
buo ulbliuhle prosperity OF our DOWn Win hl

The works are now success, and the
machinery is of the most perfect kind, the
buildings are the largest and most expensive in

Voting on Age.

CORRECTION OF AN ITEM IN Yesterdays PAPER.
We referred, yesterday, to circumstances oc-
curing in this city, where young man voted
on election day. and died OH Wednesday. his
age appearing to be 27 years, bv the published
notice of his funeral and stated that he had vo-
ted Ton age'-making oath that he was between
2l and az. We are both surprised and panied to
be informed this morning, that our state
ment was materially untrue. 1t is now said
that there was no such case. 1t seems there
was young man who died on Wednesday, who
did vote in the Third Ward, but not on age. We
regret exceedingly to have been nisled, and here
make this correction. Our informant was him
self misled by conversation which took place at
the Third Ward polls, on election day, and which
produced IN his mind the impression which he
gave u.s.
The uniform policy of the COMMERCIAL is to
print nothing recklessly, and to impeach no ones
acts, except for the service of the public, and
upon certainty. OF our correctness. This instance
of error causes us the utmost pain, and we offei
our expressions of regret and apology to those
who have justly felt hurt by it.

Vice President Wilson on the Result,

Boston Herald representative on Wednesday
evening had an opportunity Of exchanging few
words with the Vice President. Mr.. Wilson ap-
peared to be rather depressed, but not disheart-
ened % by the losses which the Republicans have
inns year sustained. While admitting that the
record was an extremely unpleasant one for
him to contemplate, he said that the re-
SUIT was one not unforeseen or I'M
predicted. AS far back as last June, the
catastrophe was apparent, and at that time, in
consultation with leading members of his organ
Mauon, he announced bis belief that control of
the new House of Representatives could only be
letalned by small majority. Mr.. Wilson de-
eiared that even il his fears should be realized,
ne ne was disincined to believe that the defeat was
Other than temporary, and that it would not de-
teimlne the issue Of the next Presidential cam
pagn. He did not, he said, welcome disaster,
out II lt came, he could not but think its effect
On ". the Republican party would be beneficial, and
That under the Christening they would rise to
victory again.

We, lose the Legislatures of New York and
New Jersey, but the United States Senators
from those States whose terms expire-Messrs
Fenton and Stockton-are both in the opposition
already, 10 we lose nothing in either. We do
lose, however, in Pennsylvania, where the la
Test figuring ON the Legislature makes 16 DEM
ocratic majority on joint ballot. But we have
gained Senator in Nebraska, and we hold our
own in Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin,

tors. The Democratic gain in the Senate is
therefore small, and while the next House will
be 30 decidedly Democratic, it can do nothing
but show itself off as a specimen of Democratic
temper, desires, and measures in all of which
it is most likely to serve the Republican cause.
