The Ring COloatai,ig rotes.

1t is cbarged that the Ring has entered
upon q complete syst EN- of colonizing
votes. They have put nonresident ne
groes into various wards to board for
thirty days in order to vote the resident
voters out of power in the Council
This shows the desperation of the
Ring and that they fear TO trust the
people to choose their own rulers. No
good citizen who loves republican form
of government should vote to sustain
such corrupt party.
Those who suffer themselves to be col
onized are guilty of violation of the
intent and meaning Of the law, and may
therefore, be subjected to the fine OF
fifty dollars prescribed as the penalty
for voting in ward without having the
necessary residence, viz: one gear in the
| State, three months in the city, and thirtl
| days in the ward in which he votes
| Every voter must hare all these qltol.fca
| tions, and also that of having paid {
county tax within two years, which was
assessed at least six months before the
election.
I 1t has been asserted that a large mum
ber of negroes have heon coloni2ed IL
the Fourth and Seventh wards. Thes'
ignorant people are the complete tools o
the Ring, and are used by a few men t.
destroy the efforts of the intelligent
voters of both parties
This ought not to be permitted; it is
reducing elections to farce.

JOHN W. HALL, ESQ. whose nomina.

by large number of the delegates in
the convention, had he been nominated
would have made strong poll in this
county where he has always lived and is
best known.
Mr.. Charles b. Lore, whose name was
prominently before the convention fol
Representative in Congress, would alse
have received the cordial support Of the
Democrats of Kent.
The friends of these gentlemen vii
doubtless feel disappointed that the.
were not successful in securing thei
nominations. but disappointment in pol
itics, as in everything else, is unavoida
bic, and is but the experience of men il
all parties. Let all, however, forget dis

Mrs. BEEcHER AND THE NEW COACH
MAN.-Of Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, it
is said that she is ruddy- faced, with a
profusion of gray hair, and somewhat
stout in figure. One summer Mr.. Beech
er had gone to Peekskill in advance of his
wife, who remained in Brooklyn to see
that the house was left in proper condi-
ton for the vacation. A new coachman
was hired in Peekskill who had never
seen Mrs. Beecher, and on the day of her
expected arrival he was sent to the sta
tion to fotch her home. After n time he
returned alone, and in answer to Mr.
Beecher's inquiries he said that Mrs
Beecher did not come on the train
"That's impossible" said the astonished
parson; She telegraphed this morning
that she would take the o'clock train
Did no ono get out the station?" ''No one
except an old Irish woman" GO right
back" said Mr. Beecher, "and fetch the
Irish woman. She is my wife"

MR.. EDIToR:-l noticed an article in the

ing the attention OF the Delegates Of the
County Convention to looking we'll into the
characters of the men to be placed on or
County Ticket, both Levy Court and Legis.
lature, more particularly the latter and the
point made by "a Democrat" in the CON-
munication referred to, was good one, and
one we'll taken to see that no man be placed
on our Legislative ticket, whose interest
would lead him to be in favor of the repeal
of the usury Laws of our State, which II
done at the present time would bring into
our midst such scenes as are being enacted
at the present time in our neighboring
counties OF Cecil and Chester, where in the
latter as many as twenty and thirty farmers
have been deprived of their homes at a sin

similarly situated to give encouragement tC

THE extent of the panic of last Septem

pared exhibits OF commercial statistic fol
1872 and-1S73. The amount of liabilities
of those who failed in the former year i;
estimated at $12l, 100000, and for the
latter at $3.50 100000 Five thousand one
hundred and eighty -three persons, firms
and corporations contributed to the Gnan-
cial distress Of 1872. OF these failures
about one-eighth of the whole number
occurred in New York city. aud involved
loss of $92, 500, 900, or about one-third o.
the whole amount of the losses. This dis

The CiUiJ Rights Bill.

From the Dover Sentinel.
"But what can be said of the Civil
Rights Bill-the fayorite issue and hob
by of our opponents? 1t is national
question only, at most, but we have re-
peatedly shown it is definct. Our gener-
dl election cannot affect it any way, ex-
cept 80 far as it respects representation
in Congress. Should Congress choose to
pass it, our Legislature here could form
no obstacle to the operation of its pro-
visions-nor could any other otiicer-not
even the Governor. 1t therefore clearly
appears to be folly for us to waste our
time about matter really obsolete-and
one ia which we can effect nothing, were
it not-and thereby neglect and over
look the subject in which We are so deep
ly interested and which are the legitimate
objects of our attention and action.
The organ Of DIR. Jump cannot deceive
the white people of Delaware with any
such stuff as that in the above para
graph. The people of Delaware read too
many papers not to learn the deception
that the Sentinel is attempting to prac-
tice. It first says the Civil Rights Bill
''is national question only" There it
acknowledges its party fealty is required
to support that bill when its represents
tive goes into the national councils
How then can the Sentinel expect tc
hoodwink the people of Delaware by
what it says in the closing sentences oi
the paragraph.
The Sentinel knows as well as the lead
ers of its party does that the Radica
Conventions Of the Republican State
have incorporated into their platform
planks favorable to tho passage of th
Civil Rights Bill. This has been done il
Pennsylvania within week and in othe
States also.
We will remind tho Sentinel of the fac
that there were some young Radicals o.
the free train that conducted the Dele
gates to the Democratic Convention o
Thursday. 1t was feared that the
would behave in u manner not calcula'
ed to do themselves credit, we do not sa
they did; but for the credit of our part
we hope none who loved Democrat
principles and believed in the right
the people to govern themselves we
guilty of the misconduct that the Sent
mel attributes to- some of the visitors

them should remember that they a
committing an offence that tends to t
disgrace Of the people and their effol

There was, however, no serious inju
