THE ADMISSION OF CoLoRApo.-On a suspen-
sion of the rules, the House of Representatives,
en- Monday, by vote of 10 to 65, passed the
bill for the admission of Colorado as state Of
the Union.
We cannot give, with certainty, just at pres
cnt the number of inhabitants required to entitle
a state to admission to the Union, or, which is
the same thing, to Representative in Congress,
hnt unless the population Of Colorado has grown
with rapidity never before equaed, it is not
sufficiently large TO eutitle that Territory to be-
ceme State. The superintendent fixed apon by
recent Congress is not less than l20 900 for each
Representative in Congress, at least. In 1870
the population of Colorado was less than 40, 900.
OF course it has not grown to l20, 900 in less
than four years. The action of Congress there
fore is in direct opposition to their own law,
and the admission of Colorado without sufficient
population, can be placed upon no other ground
than that on which, Nevada was admitted to
secure two more Republican Senators and one
more Republican Representave as that Terri O.
ry always goes Republican. This is the great
"moral party" that boasts of the honesty of its
intentions.

New CASTLE DEL, JUNE 9Th, 1874.
Dear Iranscript -
The presence here, on Saturday, of your edi-
tor makes il unnecessary for me to describe the
incidents of the late interesting, rousing meeting
of the Democrats of this county.
The large crowd in attendance, its high re-
spectabiliy in point Of character and intelligence;
its orderly department, intense enthusiasm,
prompt and energetic dispatch of business its
concise clear and unequivocal enunciaton of
principles; the eloqnence Of the speakers, who,
in some instances, were so prolific Of ideas, that,
Notwithstanding wonderful command and use
of language, and an apparently limitless yocabu-
larry, their words, in the vain attempt to keep
pace with the lightning speed of their glowing
thoughts, came at rattling gait, hurrying, bust
ling and Qyrating, jostling and pushing each 9TH
er out Of their appropriate places-now bounding
with hop, skip and jump, then, with the actv-
ity of an acrobat, turning summersanlts, and,
anon, making flying leaps through The air, pro-
ducng in the minds of the inattentive shadow
of suspicion that in the prefusion of thoughts
there might be some confusion of mind the gem
tie insinuation of ring-work and wire-pulling /;
the seemingly wrathy accusation, and, finally,
the fraternal feeling and harmony with which
the proceedings of one of the most interesting
meetings ever attended closed, with the cordial

Agricultural Exhibition at Middle.
town.

The farmers and fruit growers around Middle
town deserve credit for the pluck and enterprise
manifested by their determination to have an an
nual exhibition or fair. The attempt has been
made here at Wilmington and after lingering
effort it finally failed, but there reasons,
and very strong ones, teo why the prospects for
success at Mddletown are better than here. The
annual exhibitions here got 10 be more and more
merel yadvertsing displays for city manufacturers
and meetings for horse racing. They ceased to be
in any peculiar way identified with the country
rather than the city, and the farmers took less
and less interest in them.
We do not think that a good, square, honest
horse race between home steeds does any harm
at a fair of this kind nor do we see any impro-
prety in the display of all kinds of manufactured
articles With the opportunity offered to examine
and compare them with each other, but whenev-
er these get TO be the primary objects, and the
display of stock and agricultural products is con-
iidered secondary and unlmportant, there IS no
longer reason for the existence of an agricultu-
raj fair, and, by wise law OF nature, even salt
won't save it.
Middletown is situated in the very heart of the
richest agricultural region of this State and one
| of the richest anywhere. 1t is in the midst sof
the greatest peach growing country on this earth
and there is no reason why on annual exhibition
| of farm and orchard products, and of the con-
stantly improving stock of our farmers should
not be so attractive as to never become seconda-
| ry to other attractions, and the distance of ths
| exhibition from this city will contribute to this
result by making it all the more necessary to
keep it specially interesting to country people in
| order to secure attendance.
We cordially wish the new enterprise success,
and we doubt not it will achieve 1t, If those man
aging it will keep uppermost the idea that 1t Il

| are to control and manage, and will discourage
the tendency TO make il a mere horse race, which

For the Middletown Transcript.

Mr.. EDTToR-Dedr Sir Last Saturday there
appeared an anonymous squib in your paper ac-
cusing the Every Evenings correspondent from
Middletown OF making false report of the
students Of Middletown Academy saying that he
reported the said students as being drunk last
year at their picnic. Now, Mr.. Editor, if this
2Sth he will find that item reads far different
from what he reported in your paper. This is
what it said: 1.-THE students ought to be care
full who OF the outsiders they invite for at form
er picnic some of them were intoxicated And
as Mr.. - WE'LL will not mention his name
this time, was one of the outsiders he SAW fit to
reply to the communication and tried to turn it
off on the students But, however, il he promises
TO keep sober next time perhaps we will let him
go. STUDENT

Mr.. LoFLASD AND THE CIVIL RIGHTs BILL.-In
the lower House of Congress Monday, Ben.
Butter renewed his motion for a suspension of
the rules in order to take up the Supplementary
Civil Rights Bill recently passed by the Senate.
Thanks TO eleven Republicans and two Liberals
from the West and Sonth, who voted with the
Democrats, his motion did not receive the neces-
sary two-thirds vote and consequently failed
Though on former motion to take up this
bill, Mr.. Lofand, the Radical Representative
whom the indifference OF Democrats in 1872 suf-
fcred to be sent to Congress from Delaware, vot-
eli with his party in the affirmative, the Republic
can journals of the State have been most indus
trioas in iher attempts TO prove that he is not in
favor Of II, but they assert that he is opposed to
it. Not having seen publication of the vote on
the last motion, we do not know how Mr.. Lof-
land did vote, but we know how he did not vote !:
lie did not pote against il.
1t is the sheerest nonsense for Republican gem
tlcnien TO assert that man is hostile to mea-
sure who thus acts in regard to it. When mem-
bers Of Legislative bodies are opposed TO measures
they usually do what they can TO defeat them
Did Mr. Lofand do so? On the contrary he, at
one time, cast his ballot in ytaror of the bill to
which he is said TO be opposed, and at the next
he either voted as he did before, or he did not
rofe at all. Al all events he is not among the
honored few of bis party whose votes are record
ed against this iniqutous bill. Had the thirteen
Republicans who voted against thu BILL voted on
tho other side, with their party, the necessary
two-thrtls would have been obtained, and then
nothing but he ysto Of tie President would have
prevented the Civil Rights bill with all its dis
Rusiing and repuenant provisions from becom-
Ing i law.

THE County MEEriNG.-The Democratic meet
ing held at New Castle last Saturday was one of
the largest, most enthusiastic, determined and
respectable political bodies ever assembled for
The purpose that called this one together. When
contrasted with the motley crowd that gathered
in the same place few weeks ago, the Democ-
racy OF Delaware have great reason to be proud
Of their first meeting in the campaign of 1874
No mixture of races seen in this, but officers
committees, speakers, audience, were all of the
same race and the same color.
Though difference OF opinion on minor topics
gave rise to frequent and, at times, heated dis
cussion among the more active participants in
the proceedings, the vast audience was orderly,
and obeyed the rap Of the Presidents gave with
promptness and willingness, and submitted to
his decisions with readiness seldom seen in bo-
dies SO large.
One of the most pleasing features of the meet
ing was the readiness with which the unsucccss-
fal advocates ofa measure acauiesced in the will
Of the majority, betokening unanimity which,
in the language of the orators of the day, will,
il We be but true TO ourselves inevitably carry
everything before it at the approaching election,
and inhict upon the enemies of our race and
State such defeat that they will never recover
from it. From the 'signs Of the times" and the
indications that are daily gathered there can be
doubt but that very large majority of the
voting population of New Castle County favor
the Democratic party, and if Democrats will dc
their duty and go to the polls and vote instead
of remaining at home and allowing the election
10 go by default as they did in 1879, their sue
cess is as sure as human events can be.
