The PInchbacIk Case.

REPORT OF A BARGAIN BETWEEN oAsEY AND THE
NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRATIC LEADERs-lTs EvI
DENT UN1RUTH-wHAT PINcHBAcK WILL DO II
REJEcTED-ANDY JOHNSON WILL NOT sPRAK ON
THE MATTER.
Special Dispatch to the Neto ork Times.
WASHINGTON, March IA.
The report that bargain has been made at
New Orleans between the friends of Collector
Casey and number of Democratic
members of the Louisiana Legisla-
ture, in which the Democrats agree
to support Casey for the Senate if he will secure
Pinchbacks rejection, is denied by Collector
Casey. He repeats the statement published last
Thursday in the Times dispatches, that he is
not and will not be candidate for the Senate.
1t is not even probable that the Democrats of
Louisiana, with prospect of obtaining ma
jorty of the Legislature on joint ballot through
the House Committee now in session at New
York, and the reasonable certainty of Pinch
backs rejection on Tuesday, would be bargain
ing with Casey, who is utterly powerless to do
what is proposed for him in the alleged bargain.
II the Democrats, under the term of the Wheel
er compromise, obtain majority of the Legis-
lature on joint ballot, which is very doubtful,
they will select Senator from their own party.
Should Pinchback be rejected on Tuesday, he
will return at once to NewOrleans, and upon
learning that he cannot be elected, will devote
himself to prevent the election Of any Republi-
can who opposed his admission, and among
those he classes Casey. Whatever following
Pinchback may have in the Legislature will be
carried over to Conservative rather than given
to Casey.
The Senste will vote on the question of his
the amendmentto Senator Morton's resolution,
proposed by Senator Edmunds, which is to in
sert the word ''not." Andrew johnson has con-
cluded not to speak on the matter.

HAYDEN. Gere q Co.

The temporary brass works fitted up by Hay
den. Gere & Co., of Haydenville, Mass, imme-
diatey after the great flood which swept away
their entire works, last May, have assumed very
extensive proportions, and are now, temporary
though they be, far ahead of any similar estab-
lishment ID the United States. The company,
1t will be remembered, publicly announced on
the morning after the flood that they should
rebuild at once, and while that work was going
on, established their mandatory in their Ioun-
dry buildings, adding to them rs necessities
required, and in a few days were ship
ping goods to New York, to fill
orders RS promptly as if nothing had
happened. Their patterns have been replaced
by skillful workmen, and more perfect than ever,
and they are now turning out moro elegant work
than ever before. The quality of their work is
not excolled nor equaled by any in the world.
Employing as they now do, three times as many
men as any other establishment i'll the country,
their present facilities for executing large orders
are vastly superior to those of any other concern,
and more than equal to any demand that can
possibly arise.
The Stock at their warehouse No. 81 Bcckinan
street. New York, is complete in every depart
ment, and much larger and of better variety
than they ever presented before.
Among the large buildings recently supplied
by this firm. are the New Lindell Hotel, st.
Louis; Pacific Hotel, Chicago; United States,
Grand Union and Congress Hall, Saratoga; Wind,
sor House, New York; Boston Post-oifice, and
Palace Hotel, San Francisco
The company is determined that the flood shal
not prove to be any disadvantage toit, and If
preparing, by the erection of new and enlarged
buildings, the construction Of a branch railroad
an increase of its water power, and by more spa
cous grounds, to do a more extensive business
than ever

saying that he had come all the way from New
Castle over bad roAds to express his sympathy
with the movement for division. He said fur.
ther that the consummaton of the measure Is
only question of time, and that this is but the
entering wedge to separation.i
JOHN o'ByRSE, ESQ,
was the last speaker, and delivered himsel I
more of an oratorical effort and consideration
OF the "bottling up of discussion and tho free
dom of speech (eminently proper under tho
circumstances) than an attempt at argument in
favor of division. He did however, occasionally
touch upon the question. repeating to some ex-
tent previous arguments, and before closing got
off one OF those melodramatc touches for which
he was famous in the late campaign over the
resolution OF Mr.. Wells, saying that he could not
entertain such proposition.
After he had atdown, Mr.. Spruance rose to
make an explanation to Mr.. Wells, az in Offering
his resolution the latter had given the impress
sion that he was 30 prompted by the formers
speech, and he appealed to Mr.. W. to withdraw
his resolution, which lie did, remarkng, how
ever, that it was useless to ask remedy OF our
defects in representation at tho hands of the
present legislature.
Some gentleman arose in the audience aud
said he would prefer to have the whole question
referred to Gen. Sheridan.
THE VOTE ON THE RESOLUTIONS
was then taken, and although there were pro-
badly five hundred persons in the hall not more
than thirty affirmative votes were cast independ-
ent of those from the stage, and with seeming
spirit of indifference. Probably not more than
half dozen votes were cast against the resou-
tions, which were adopted bya decided vote 30
far AZ that is concerned, but also by vote
which can in no sense be taken as an index of
the sense of the meeting.
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT FACT
Of the weakness of the sympathy of
the meeting with the division scheme
was evidenced in the signing of petitions
praying for division. Repeated invitations were
extended to come forward and sign the numer-
d ond ahs b wGh m M Wefe n sa out upon e stage
appended to three petitions. This is the result
of an actual count of the names. Who will,
therefore, say that the meeting of Saturday night
was one calculated to give evidence of any very
great strength in the division scheme

The People in Motion.

ANTI DIVISION MEETING IN oHRIsTIANA- STRONG
REVOLUTIONS DIRECTED TO THE LEGIsLATURE.
A large meeting of the citizens of North Chris
tiana was held at Centreville on Saturday after
noon, in opposition to Division. j. Poulson

Delaplaine was made Chairman, and Joseph
Nichols, Secretary. The following committee on
resolutions was then appointed: ]. Pouson
Chandler A. Ii. Dixon Tbos. Wilson, l.. Dill
worth, and J. p. Nichols. Addresses were ma de
by Col. A. II. Grimshaw snd Col. W. q.
Whiteey, and the following resolutions, repor-
ted by the Committee, were unanimously adop-
ted =
Resolued That we, citizens and taxpayers of
Christiana hundred, hereby express our unquali-
fled disapprobation of. and opposition to- the
proposed division of New Castle county.
ResOiced-Tbat such a division is uncalled for
by any public necessity, and would only result
in increased taxation without any corresponding
benefit.
Res6lced That the agitation of this question
is calculated and will probably result in the de-
feat of the Just claims OF our country to increas
ed representation.
Resoioed-That the officers of this meeting he
requested to forward copy of these resolutions
to the Legislature.
During the meeting, the following letter from
DR.. Jos ,ph p. Chandler was read
March 18th. 1875.
AR. j. Poulson Chandler,
Dear Sir: very much regret that cannot
participate in the meeting this afternoon. l am
unalterably opposed to the division of the
county believing that it will not give us the
representation which we do justly ask, and that
it will entail upon us heavy expense, without
any corresponding advantages. II my voice in
the matter will be of any use, feel 1t my duty
to thus make it public.

From the Denton, Nd. Union
The leading and most exciting topic of discus
sion with the people of Wilmington and New
Castle county, is the division of that county and
and the formation of two counties out of one 30
asto form equal representation in the State LeSis-
lature. Tho division of the county is the most ex-
pensive mode and il the people desire to increase
their taxes they could not adopt more sure
means to accomplish such result. New Castle
county is entitled to equal representation with
the other counties of the State and did her terri
