THE NER STEA MER.
IT'S ARRIVAL, AT LAsT-THE FIRST TRIAL.
..f ITS GENERAL APPEARANCE,

ITS ARRIVAL, AT LAsT--THE FIRST TRIAL
ll ITS GFNERAI APPEARANCE.
At four o'clock, Saturday afternoon,
the lodg-experted new steamer Of the
Fame Hose Company arrived here, from
Newark, N. ]. The news Of the arrival
spread like wild-hre, and by the time the
apparatus reached Market street, il was
surrounded by large and eager crowd Of
spectators. t..
The engine was first taken to Front and
Orange streets. where it was attached to
o plug and given trial, for the purpose
of seeing II the machinery was in good
working order. t...
In Eve minutes after the fire was start.
ed the whistle was blown, and in twenty
seconds thereafter the engine was start.
ed. 1t worked admirably, without the
slightest impeachment to free and perfect
action, admiration of all who witnessed
tine trial. .t
At the Fame House house, early in the
evening, the crowd was SO great that the
doors had to be closed until the engine
could be cleanedup and made presenta.
BILE in appearance. Then the doors were
again opened, and until late hour in
the evening the new engine was the CHIEF
attrqctiqn in Wilmington. A large flag in
HSHf VI, ,pHp o4BHie ilQusos bearing pne
words WELCOME, Queen Of the West"
announced the arrival to all those who
had not previously heard of il.
The smoke-stack of the engine was sur.
mounted by a pair Of large steers horns,
between which was small placard, bear.
ing the announcement,

These horns were placed there after the
victory achieved by the engine in Chi,
cago, when O stream was thrown 1854 feet
through an inch-and-a-haIf nozzle and
have remained in position ever since. II
is not considered probable that any en-
CINE in this part OF the country can 6take
the big horns down"

Romans Suffrage.

The Baltimore american, while sad over
the general disaster which has overtaken
its party, is not unmindful of the sad
fate which has also overtaken the first
attempt at female suffrage in one of the
western States. "Among all the great
ships that went down on Tuesday" pa
thetically remarks that journal, there
was one poor little bark swallowed up by
the rcmorseless waves of adverse major
tiles without attracting much notice,
although its fate was sorry one to those
who had embarked in it their hopes and
aspirations. In the proposed new consti-
tuition Of Michigan that was submitted
to the voters of the State at this election
there was q provision granting female
suffrage, and the advanced women had
not been charry Of their predictions that
it would be ratified at the polls. But
alas for the mutability OF human antici.
pationsl the whole constitution was de-
feated, and that particular clause by an
especially overwhelming VOTE"
This was all right, but on any Other
issue in the world the women will come
out victorious. The real women of Mich
igan did not want female suffrage, nor de
they want it in any State in this Union
| IL is only u few brazen-faced women

"IT HAD BECOME DEsPoT1c. "

II hAD bhCOlE DEefOllIs
The Baltimore American, one of the
most truly loyap sheets, hits the nail
fairly on the head, in its article assign
ing causes for the great moral and po-
litical victory the Democratic party
has just achieved. 1t says that the
Republican party had become despOtic and
needed little correcting"
That is 30. But why did not the
American and its contemporaries join
the Democratic press in the denuncia-
tion of party that 'lhad become des-
potic ?" Out of itsown mouth comes
it's own accusation and its own condem-
nation. Why did the American sus-
tain party in opposition to its Demo
cratic contemporaries that iHAD BE-
COME DEspoTIc :" Can anything be
more Objectionable to the American
people that government that is ''des-
potic - Can thing be republican
and at the same time DEsPoTTo ? We
think not. And yet we have a great

Our Value to France.

The DeJats says that the trade of Paris
alone with the United States equals in i'm
portance that OF the latter with the whole
y Germany. According 10 the returns of
the American Consul General at Paris the
exports thence to this country amounted in
value from 9Oth September, 1873, to $780,.
100000, whilot the value OF the whole Of the
exports to Germany did not, says the DeJats,
amounts TO more than $37,000,0O0 In 1872.
The De6ats adds that this sum moreover, by
no means represents the value Of American
custom, inasmuch as the purchases of Amer
lean visitors in Paris may be reckoned as
amounting to almost as much again as the
exports. Certainly, the French have good
gr0unds to Keep friends with US.

Senator Bayard's Yictory

N'N"' WV Ae"Ss A'yHts
That Senator Bayard has revolution
lied the State of Delaware no politician
who is conversant with the facts in the
case, can doubt. He undoubtedly is
the best and most deserving Democrat
in the State, and has worked harder and
done more toward securing the present
Democratic victory than any or all the
Democrats in the State put together.-
He furnished the material, the "whercs
with, the brains. the arguments and
the funds, and now let it be said to
him, "well done, thou good and faith
full servant" "Come up higher"
No man, nor set of men, outside of
political prejudices, can make any ex.
ception to Senator Bayard. He has
been faithful to his trust. He is intel
ligently smart, liberal and eonfdipR.
and knows well how to get away with
whatever he undertakes, May we me-
yer fall in worse hands. To him be-
longl solely the late Democratic vic
tory In Delaware.
