TROOPS ORDERED TO THE SOUTH.-The
government has taken action at last upon the
troubles and outrages in the South. Last
week U. S. Attorney General Williams waited
upon the President, at Long Bra nch, and
found him ready to suppress any lawlessness in
any quarter. He has accordingly authorized
the Secretary of War to place the United
States troops at the disposal of the Marshals
and detachmentS are to be sent at once to New
Orleans and other points. The New York
Herald says that the President thinks the
disorg'nizad c'n li!ion of the South has been
exaggerated for political reasons, yet he an
nounoes that the government is resolved to
give security to all persons, white or black.

The WILMINGTON ELECTION, last week,
had not the triumph in it to the Democrats
that they profess to see. The cry Of ring" in
that city has been a most popular one against
certain Republicans influential in municipal
manlpulatOns, and this cry has finally been
caught up by the taxpayers. The war cry of
this little campaign was, not will you have this
or that political party to rule over you, but will
you have " the ring to rule over you? And
the citizens, many of them Republicans, said
no. The strongest Republican ward in the
city, the Seventh, was the one to elect an
Independent to the city council said Indie
pendent being pronounced Republican out
side Of city affairs. He was supported by
staid Quakers and others, who desired to break
down tho j. at' Influence that certain
individuals were exercising in the city's affairs.
The result wasas on-partisan as it was two years
ago, VII tie y i. l.fl'i, mayor, Simms. was
elected ia l.,a...t aud in eight weeks after
wards, on strict party vote, the city gave
nearly 1000 Republican majority. Had there
been anything like party contest there would
have been nothing like a Democratic victory.
The Commercial, the leading Republican pa
per, did not hesitate to sanction independent
voting and the Erery Eveaing, which fought
the ring SO persistently and crows over its
achievements SO listily, says the result is without
political significance.
And IT seems that the election has worked

a BIG SENSATION SPOMED.-T Seaford
O"|"eH OF saturday last makes up a wonderful
sensation about some married people ofSmvrna
l Is yarn runs thus:
Some three or four weeks since a man
accompanied by woman and two children. n
gill and boy, arrived in Seaford and i'm
lIeulateiy hlred conveyance to take them to
Johnson Cross Roads, where they had a
mousse rented. Here they lived in quiet retire.
lnent Tor some time, when it tran-pired that
they were both runawayS, the man BEING the
husband OF respectable lady at Smyrna, and
the father OF live children, and the woman the
mate OF another man, also of the same town.
Inc lady III question, went to Leipsic visiting
some friends, and during her absence her
husband concluded to try his fortune with
another, and he at once set about consummatiny
MS plans, which eliminated in his departure
from Smyrna and his arrival in our vicinity.
Two weeks since man No. >, desiring to get
possession OF the children, came to Seaford To
look Ior them, and earAlng their whereabouts
went out to their house to claim them Bnt
here he met with considerable opposition. and
tor time lively scene enSued. Man No,
manifested no disposition to dispute his right
10 the children, but the woman, with n fierce
Sleam OF hatred in her eye, handed her para
lnOur gun, and commanded him to use il
but this he refused to do, and finding that man
NO. was about to accomplish his purpose,
she rushed to the cupboard, and securing a
knife s;wore the children should not be tlken
from her, and she carried her point On
Monday week, however. she delivered the
chlIdren up to negro man, and the woman
herself took passage on the train with them
The man she is living with is going back to his
lawful wife, it is said
We will state that if this is really case of
matrimonial infehcity the parties are either not
from Smyrna or they ar not white people. No
such scand dal as this cond 90 on in any
" circle in our town without arousng the
gossips notice. They would be more ant to
know of it three weeks before it happened than
not to know of it three weeks after it happened.

The DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION for
New Castle county was held at New Castle on
Saturday, and ticket was made out, which
we give in our local column. The platform
adopted shows that the party had to get into
the Republican rut on the representation and
labor question. On the first. named question.
which Is vital one in New Castle county with
all voters, the Convention resolved that 1.-THE
representation of New Castle County. in both
branches of our State Legislature is upiustIv
appOrtloned and should be increased and that
our candidates for the next General Assembly
are hereby instructed to make every effort and
use every honorable means at its next session
to accomplish this just and desirable end. y
On the labor question they resolved to favor
the increasing Of the amount exempted from
execution from 800 to about $500; and to ad
vocate the total repeal of all laws for the at.
tachment of wages, and all such further lepis-
latlVe and constitutional reforms as the exigen.
cies of the times may require.
In Kent and Sussex these measures find no
favor with the Democrats and the State Con
ventlon at Dover, to get out Of saying anything
about them, ignored State issues and confined
the platform to national questions. 1t was
well enough for the New Castle Democracy to
pass these resolutions, indeed, it was absolutely
necessary, to keep their labor members out OF
the Republican ranks, but what will it amount
to- with the members of the party in the other
two counties against them?

The ENTERTAINMENT for the benefit of the
Mission School of this town, last Friday even.
ing, was well patrOnized and highly appreciated
by an intelligent audience The readings of
Miss Bunnell, OF Philadelphia.sw .swere particu-
larly pleasing and called forth the highest
admiration. Several of Will Cartons popular
poems, 1.-The New Church Organ" I" Betsy
and | are Out and lover the Hills to the
Poor House were rendered with more of the
air of professional than the young amateur
that she is. The reading of Dead in the
Doorway" poem familiar to our citizen,
awakened especial INTEREST," and the rescitation
of The Maniac" was decidedly touching.
The singing, under the direction of Miss Lue
Sturgess, orgsnist, was also good. The solos
by Miss Eva Carrow, Mr.. G.. Garrison and
Mr.. w. +. Kennedy, Of New Jersey, were
popular, particularly the one by Miss G.
Call John" by Messrs. Garrison, Hoffecker
and Dickson was particularly pleasing to the
audience. A fine instrumental duet with
organ and piano was performed by Misses
Florence and Annie Griffith and Miss SturQess,
The entertainment, though hurredy gotten
up, was one of the best OF local character we
have been favored with, and the ladies of the
Mission School request tho TIMES to thank the
participants for the service they so kindly
rendered. The net receipts were $246O, which
Is to DO used in purchasing shoes for some
destitute children.
