The CONVENIENCE OF HAVING A CoUR1
IN WILMINGTON. oN.-Have our people evel
considered what convenience it would
be to have the Courts held in our city
Now. when person is summoned as a
witness be has to 60 over to New Castle
and hang about the court house there,
neglecting his business until the case
in which he is summoned is called.
The lawyers dare not give him permis-
sion to 60 home for the case may be
called at any time and lost for the want
of witnesses who cannot be summoned
from their homes or business places in
this city and got over there in time.
Now if our Courts were here the Gus
tom of other City Courts could be fol-
lowed and witnesses be permitted to
stay at their homes or places of busi-
ness. with the understanding that they
were to be sent for whenever they were
wanted. This is a matter which inter-
ests everybody. for any one may be
called on to become witness. There
is but one way Of accomplishing the es-
tablishment of Court in this city,
proposed at present, and that is by the
division of this county. which will at
the same time give Wilmington two
members in the State Senate and four
or five members in the House. 1t will
add nothing Of Importance to our peo-
pies taxes and secure at once their con-
venience and their rights We cannot
afford therefore to be Indifferent in the
matter -Erery Evening.

Butler Despondent.

Ben Butler is said to have expressed
to a reporter of the Washington Chron-
icle "grave fears and gloomy forbod-
ings" in regard to the future of the
country. This despondent state Of old
Ben's feelings may arise from his want
Of confidence 10 the craftsmanship Of
his successors, Doubtless the Massa-
chusetts representative thinks no one
is SO fully capable Of taking care of the
interests Of the Republican party as
himself; but perhaps the Ship Of State
will sail on as steadily after Bcn's re-
tirement from the helm as she ever did
under his guidance Be that az it may
no man ever retired from public life
leaving fewer persons to regret his loss,
and followed by as many and as deep
and heartfelt execrations and wishes
for his lasting seclusion as this social
pest, and whether the nation will get
along as we'll without him or not, there
is probably not single respectable or
decent individual in the entire country
but who is perfectly willing to make
the trial; and could he carry with him
into his seclusion several Of his con-
gressional and party associates, bis re-
tirement would be all the more graft
flying.
No doubt large portion of Buffers
dependency was caused by his antici-
pations of the defeat of the "Force
BILL" or as it has been appropriately
termed, "Grant's third term BILL" On
the passage Of that bill rested the hopes
for success, in great measure, of the
Radical party in 1876 Aware that
they cannot possibly succeed by fair
means, these men, in their desperation.
would gladly have passed that bill to
place unlimited power in the hands of
man who has proved himself SO unit
for it, and would use it without scruple
to elect himself, to the office he is 50
lily fitted for. third time.
But perhaps Mr.. Buffers gloomy
forebodings as to coming troubles, arise
from his knowledge Of the aim and in
tentions of Grant and his Radical allies
and satellites. That they have been
trying BY every means in their power
to drive the Southern people to another
revolt is patent to all observers of their
public acts. All the Objectionable and
obnoxious measures which they have
passed all the military interfsrences
with elections; all overturning Of State
governments and constitutions have
been done with that one object in view

The Forty-third Congress ended at

Ito provoke the people Of the South,

the hope Of deceiving the Northern
people into again ''rallying to the pro-
lection Of the flag and the Union" that

hands upon the government and ride
again to power over the sufferings Of
the people. Had the Force bill been
passed by Congress they would have
had an apparent legal sanction for their
contemplated acts of violence and in
Justice in the Southern States, and an
excuse for their premeditated crimes,
but the defeat of that bill has deprived
them Of that greatly desired cloak for
their Sins, and they are doubtful of how
the people Of the North and West will
view further illegal and tyrannical in
terfering with the rights of the South

their dependency. The prospects for

The FAILURE OF THE FORCE BILL
We confess to having experienced an
inexpressible sense of relief since Thurs.
day, the 4th inst. To know that the
Forty Third Congress bad passed out
of existence without accomplishing its
base design Of enacting the infamous
Force Bill' is joy unspeakable. A
great weight of anxiety has thus been
lifted from our mind, and we breathe
freeI than we have done for many a
day
Of all the iniquitous schemes which
we're conceived by the corrupt minds Of
that bad CONGRESS-, not one was so con-
spicuously unconstitutional, or SO preg-
nant with "hatred, malice and all un-
sharitableness. It was a Pandora's
box. full Of evil and mischief very
magazine Of wrong, violence and revo-
luton. Truly the defeat Of such a
measure is abundant cause for graft
tude to God-the great dispenser Of
events!
The last two weeks Of the last ses-
sion Of the late Congress were the most
critical in the history Of the Govern
ment of the United States. Never be-
fore has our Republicanism received
such strain. That its complete sub
version was deliberately meditated. in
tended and planned, there is not room
for the shadow of doubt and but for
the patriotism Of few Of the members
Of the Republican party-for the Dem
ocrats were unable to accomplish its
salvation without their aid-the over
threw of the Government, as framed
by our forefathers. would have been an
accomplished fact.
II was the last desperate game OF
gamblers for power; the violent despair
ing death-throe Of the unprincipled
third termists Its failure has saved
the constitution and preserved the lib
critics of the people: but it has Destroy
ed Grantism. II has left Grants ad.
ministration without a party in Con-
gress. and has turned him over to the
contempt Of all patriotic citizens. Poor
Grant! As soldier, bis only distinc-
tion will arise from his utter disregard
Of human life; as civilian, bis admin
i,tration will only be mentioned to be
execrated. and as despot-which role
