giving to Minnesota the proud title oi

the birthplace of herd which, taking
its pedigree into account, has brought
the highest prices and secured the larg-

the world.
England, the birthplace, and for 200
years the home of the Short Horn breed,
Kentucky, the famed bluegrass region
of the world, Illinois the boasted rival
of the latter in climate, soil, and fruit
fulness, all have succumbed to the rare
and radiant atmosphere and the succu-
lent and nourishing grass which the
soil of Minnesota alone affords. Col.
King is therefore not only to be thanked
but the State of Minnesota is to be con-
graduated for an achievment in the
Short Horn annals which will hardly be
eclipsed in the present generation, un.
less the present sale serves as the stimu.

The second 'Duke of Hilhurst," led
the sale and the price he bougt was $14.-

London, England, whose representative
was instructed to bring him home at

most unquestionable security. As a
stock company it offers to the insured a
certain indemnity, unmixed with those
uncertain returns usually called ''divi-

only, it furnishes that insurance at the
lowest cost in the plans desired, prefer

reduced premium, and by plain and def

II reports are true, few individuals
feaped richer harvest in lobbying
members of the Legislature at the last
session than Mr.. George V. Massey, Of
Dover, And now he especially singles
out the small matters Of alleged bad
legislation in the State as the whole
theme of his stump speeches.
When man occupies himself during
an entire winter, under pay, to influence
legislation, it would seem unnatural if
not unwise to thus bite the hands that
gave him food.
The last Legislature undoubtedly pass.
ed some laws that need and will receive
amendment, but among other reforms
we trust that the Democratic Legislature
which will meet at Dover in Januarv
next, will avoid the mistake of its prede-
cesssors and not be influenced by the

Massey, who secretly solicits their votes
for measures, and abuses them after.

The CN0n0e of Tone.

1t is only few days since the CONNER
cial was confident that there would be no
change in the political control of the
next House of Representatives. But a
great change has come over its opinion
since the smoke of the battle of the
October elections has passed away. Now
it admits that there are doubts of the
Radicals being able to elect enough
members to give them the House and
for the first time appeals to its party to
return Mr.. Lof1and. 1t says:
THE certainty that the Republican
majority IN the next House of Represen-
tatlves will be reduced, and The possibil-
ity that the Democrats may obtain con-
troll OF it, lends additional Importance
to the election of Major Lofand, in this
state. One member, elected from Della
ware, may be needed to prevent Dem
ocratic majority in the House. II is not
probable, we are glad to say; but it is
possible"
Now, the people of Delaware who are
opposed to the Civil Rights Bill and
mixed schools cannot vote for Mr.. Lof-
lands return to Congress. The very
reasons Oh which the Commercial bases
ats request are SO many arguments why
every white man should vote for the ex
clusion Of Mr.. Lohand from Congress
where he has neither conferred service
upon his State or done anything that has
reflected honor upon it. In fact his pres
ence there has been decidedly discredi-
table and detractive; and were it not
tor the lustre that has been emitted
from the Senate upon our State we
should be considered low indeed in the
scale OF representation in the Congress
OF the nation. Let us not be found sus-
tanning the measures Of Congress that
all our sister States are condemnine by
their votes.
The Democratic party is a unit against
the Civil Rights Bill, and Mr.. Williams
reflects its opinions. Vote for him and
you are safe.
On the Civil Rights Bill the Republi-
can party is divided, but a majority of
the leaders Of that party favor its pas
sage. A vote for Loaand, therefore, is a
vote thrown for the Civil Rights Bill, as
the Radical party is controlled entirely
hy the caucuses Of its leaders.

Mired School AMI Me-. 1Mdris'
Mistake.

Like many others great and small Mr..
Maris has slain himself with his own pen.
He has already written second letter to
explain first and must now write q
third to explain the second. He is be-
tween two stools in reference to his un-
fortunate vote in the last Legislature
against the Democratic Resolutions op-
posing the forcing of negroes into our
public schools with the children of poor
white men. In his first letter he tried
to shrink a straight forward reply to the
know nothing about that fatal vote
In his second letter, when driven tot he
wall, and after time for consultation with
the leaders OF the Ring which nominated
him, he makes clean breast of it and
confesses that he did put himself on rec
ordlin favor OF mixed schools. Now where
there is concealment there must be guilt,
or the consciousness of it. But Mr. Ma
ris tries to avoid the effect of his.copfes-
sion by the weakest of all excuses for a
lawyer to make,-"ignorance of the law"
which his law books will tell him is no
excuse. He tells MS with the most re-
freshing simplicity, imaginable that he
had never examined the Civil Right b.ll
up to the time he virtu ally voted in ia
yor of it. And this too when that bill
had then been before Congress foI more
than two years and the resolutions
against it before the Legislature for two
whole months before he voted upon them.
But 1t was not necessary for him to ex
anime the Bill the resolutions Themselves
expressly stated and informed hin, If it.
contents.
The resolutions denounced liked
schools and yet Mr.. Maris voted against
those resolutions and SO committed him
self to mixed schools in Delaware.
But Mr.. Maris says he is in favor of
separate schools for negroes in one
breath, and in the next SAYS that his
duty to ohisconstituents did not require him
to examine the Bill which had been so
long before Congress and the Legislature
and which actually prohibited separate
schools! How Mr., Maris muddles nat
ters
To the ordinary mind it seems clear
that Mr.. Maris was in dnty bound to look
into a bill which was to deprive his colored
constituents OF the separate schools be so
fondly advocates.
On his own profession Of faith Mr..
Marls, is.grievously derelict both to his
black and his white "man and brother"
Really, when Representative is so slow
OF comprehenglon as to require two years
To- see through plain provisions of the
Civil Rights Bill, he may well begin to
doubt whether he will be able to deal
with the weightier matters Of legislation
such as taxation, education, etc, within
the usual limits of legislative session
And when he shrinks a candid answer
toa plain charge there may be some othe T.
simple souls who will ask whether he is
as honest as Iago or the 'artful Dodger."
Mr. Maris must once more "rise to ex-
plain before the white working men of
Wilmington can be hood winked into the
belief that he and Joel Thompson and the
Republican party of Delawsre are not
fully committed to mixed schools and the

Kent County Court House.
FELTON,, DEL, Oct. 10, 1874.


Mr.. EDIToR-Dear Sir Il find all
article in the Daily Commercial, of the
18th instant, copied from the Smyrna
Times, that is calculated to do injury
to the landed interest of Kent county.
1t is entirely false and it is my duty to
correct it. l, therefore, hope you will
afford me the room to make truthful
statement of the matter. The Times
says that the new Court House of Kent
County "will cost fully double the
contract price and will exceed $64 600
instead of $32 600"
Now, sir, this is gross mistatement,
and it is my duty to correct it. The
contract price for the Court House was
$31 500 the whole cost of the build
ing will not exceed $38, 600. 1t is not
surprising that people make such esti-
mates about this improvement since it
is one of the best public buildings in
the State below Wilmington. 1t is 60
by so feet, three stories high, contain
ing on the first floor eight offices for
rent, with two fine rooms in the base
ment also for rent, which, together
with the large hall in the third story, 50
by land ceiling,17 will net yearly
revenue of$1 ,0OO The court room in the
second story is so by 81 feet, II feet
ceiling, having adjoining it a room for
female witnesses, judges room, attor
neys' room, and jury retiring rooms,
with all convenicnces and grand and
petit jury rooms above. 1t will be
heated from the cellar, and furnished
with tank near the roof, holding q
600 gallons of water for use in case of
fire. In fact the building is every way
credit to the State, and the people
are in nowise dissatisfied with it, on
the contrary they regard it as one of
the cheapest improvements that has
been erected anywhere during the last
five years.
The Levy Court do not deem it ne
ccssary to increase the per centagc,
which is now and has been for the
past two years only 45 cents on the
800 for State, County, road and poor
taxes; and the writer in the Times is
entirely mistaken in this matter
neither is there any extra expense on
the Jail" as that property is entirely
paid for, and also a part of the new
building.

Levy Court Commissioner, and one of
the Building Committee.

1t is now thought that Mr.. Bradley,
Democrat, will be elected Governor of
Nevada, and til e indications are that the
Democrats will also elect theCongressman
and a majority of the Legislature which.
will give them Democratic u S. Sena.

Republican. whose term expires in 1875.
