Bishop Alfred Lee, of this Episcopal diocese,
ID now in Mexico on visit to the missions of the
T.. Il. church in that country. Letters from him,
dated ut the City Of Mexico, on February 9TH,
have been received in thia city. Ono, addressed
to Rev. Mr.. Arnold, assistant rector at St. An

School, were read in that church, yesterday.

the last Republican State Convention

additional compensation to itself, for past SER

by which Congressional salaries were increased,
shall be promptly and Internationally repealed"

Carpenter had been left to q vote of the people,
no explanatory speeches from politicians on Ell

hope TO find our new Senator representing
his State in satisfactory manner.

Newark Items.

NEWARK, Feb. 22.
On Saturday evening, while our Newark hack
was standing at the Newark station Of the P. W.
& B. R. R.. the horses became frightened.
Breaking the hitching strap, they started around
the main road to the railroad track. One of the
horses broke loose from the hack, crossing just
in front Of the 10 40 train down from Whining
ton. The other, with the hack attached, turned
up the track running into the side Of the train
with the tongue, breaking two panes out of the
car windows. After the train passed. he turned
back again to the Newark road, where the horse
was caught and strange to say not very great
amount of damage was done, no one being in
the lack at he time, but great amount OF ex-
citement was caused.
The grand hop of the Citizens Cornet Band,
some evenings ago was grand suooess e,,si Inc
pose very good turn out might not be expec-
ted, but the reverse was the fact, very large
number being present of both gentleman and
tastefully arranged. They had engaged for the
occasion Courtneys strihg band, of Wilmington,
which diecoursed some of the finest dancing
music we have heard for long time in Newark
Supper was gotten up by Mrs. Cloud Pierson, at
Newark hotel in splendid manner, which re-
fected great credit upon her.
We regret to have to again announce the ex-
treme illness Of Joel Thompson, Jr., President
of the National Bank Of Newark, who has been
indisposed for some time. We made mention of
the fact Of his being better, short time ago.
His disease has assumed more dangerous
form, and his family and friends have little
hope of his recovery. Just while writing. We
understand from parties visiting him that Mr..
Thompson is great deal better.
The lecture of John O'Byrne, Esq. ,at Delaware
College, on Friday evening, Subject, "Cross
and Crecent," was very well attended, consider

is Unnecessary for us to say anything in favor Of
the lecture, the name Of the gentleman in this
community being sufficient.
We need not speak Of the weather Of this last

The CLAIMS OF Delaware College.

10 the Editor Of Ate Commercial:
do not suppose that the President of Della
ware College will feel called upon to take any
notice of Anti Subsidy in your last issue, but
you will please indulge an occasional correspon-
dent with little space
We understand, at Dover, that the leading
men of the State, who have the interest and
honor of Delaware at heart warmly favor the
continuance of the State aid. 1t is true that the
college received Delaware's entire share of the
National land grant, but Delaware is small
State, and that share was small one. There is
not one, even Of the larger States, which has
not additionally aided the institutions founded
upon that grant
Ia your correspondent go ignorant, that he
does not know, that it requires as many Profess
sors to instruct 40 students scattered throughout
the college classes, as it would, to instruct a
hundred?
If they had As Students as he said, in the
fourth year of their existence, they did well.
Let him in his next communication inform us Of
college in like circumstances, which has done
better. To start u new college successfully, or
to revive old one, in the East, when now
there are many large and flourishing institu-
tons, must be no easy MATTER and yet Anti
Subsidy will hardly say, that the idea OF having
a college in Delaware should be given up for all
time to come. Now, if ever, is the time when a
persevering effort ought to be made.
Is it true, as he implies, that some of the State
Trustees send their SONS to colleges in other
States? If 30, they will certainly send in their
resignation at tho next meeting of the Board.
What motive could lead a man to hold such a
position, when he cannot give his influence for
the prosperity of the college? Unless we are
mistaken in the character of Gov. Cochran, he
would fill vacancies with good men.
| have no official connection with Delaware
College, but greatly wish it success.

SITUATION AT THE BREAKwATER-THE ICE
CLEANED OUT, ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
On Saturday afternoon, the barber at the
Breakwater and the sea as far as could beseen,
were entirely filed with ice, but during the
night the wind came from the southwest, and in
II few hours the ice had disappeared, leaving the
way open for the departure of the large number
of steamers and sailing vessels which had
sought shelter behind the Breakwater The
Ohio of the American line, which came in late
Saturday afternoon, left for Philadelphia early
yesterday morning.
The steamer Mary Of the Clyde line, still rests
upon the ice breaker, her bow being three faith
oms under water and her stem out at low water.
portion OF her cargo has been taken out, but
in very damaged condition. The vessel, it il
thought, will be a total wreck
The upper shores of the bark Cienfuegos,
which was cut through by the ice four miles be
low Cape Henlopen, and snnk in ten fathoms of
water, can still be seen. There seems to be but
little prospect of saving either vessel or cargo,
though an effort will probably be made in a few
days by the New England Wrecklng Company.
Notwithstanding the extreme cold and the sev-
eral disasters, there has been no loss OF life,
this winter.
On Friday morning, inside the breakwater, al
oyster boat sank. She is loaded with oysters
and was on her way to New York. The cargo

Something Concerning Advertising

TO he Editor Of he Commercial:
VIII the COMMERCIAL tell it's readers how tbs
Ecery Eoeninq can afford to advertise Kentucky
lottery swindles at less than "a mills per line,
when it cannot afford to do the same advertising
for it's home business patrons under 80 to GO
mills per line2 And also of what advantage is 1t
to Jonathan s. Hand and Jeremiah Brister, of
Appoduinimink Hundred or their creditors, to
have the Sherin's sales of their property adver-
tised in Wilmington to the extent of forty dol
lars each2 l am told that the charges for Sher-
lift advertising are now very large, amounting,
sometimes, in the case Of small sales, almost to
the value of the property sold. They are in
creased, unless l am misinformed, to some -four
or FIVE times as much as they formerly were.
z.
I'VE can only say, in response to the queries
OF our correspondent, that much of the adver-
tising in Euery Eoening, as well as in the COM
MERcIAL, is now, and always has been done at
less than "a mills per line, for each insertion
(the rate of our bid to the city) The schedule
rates of the former run as low as IA mills, OF
less, on yearly advertisements. AS for its "uni-
formity" we refer that subject to those OF its
readers who have learned to the contrary.

The Louisiana Report.

CHARACTER OF THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
MEssR5 FOSTER AND PHELPS UNITE WITH THE
OTHER REPUBLICAN MEMBERS IN THE RECON-
MENDATIoNs-A RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING KEEL
LoGd AS GOVERNOR APPENDED.
Especial Dispatch to the Ne1 Tork Tin,es.l
WARRINGTON, Feb. 21.
The report of the Louisiana Committee is n
very long document. 1t was drawn by Mr..
George II. Hoar, and the draft, as first sub
mitted by him, was not modified by the other
members Of the committe. Its conclusions are
adopted by
ALL THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS
of the committee, including Mr.. Foster and Mr..
Phelps. 1t was at first stated Mr.. Phelps would
unite with Mr.. Foster, of New York, and Mr..
Marshall of Illinois. 1t is announced tonight
that he will agree to the recommendations of the
committee. The committee recommend the pas
sage of resolution recognizing Kellogg as the
Governor of Louisiana. They also propose a
resolution declaring the opinion Of the House
that the Conservatives elected a majority of the
members of the House of Representatives of the
State Legislature in the last election.
THERE Is NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW
that Kellogg is personally bad or corrupt man.
His conspicuous fault is a want of courage and
firmness, to do what he thinks is right. There
is little doubt that he would be stronger and
would give the State better Government with
the aid Of q Conservative House, provided it
were fully established that he was to be the
Governor till the end of his term. The evidence
shows that a
SMALL TURBULENT, UNEASY,
unemployed class, composed generally Of young
men, who have come to manhood since the close
of the war, cause most of the disturbances. and
commit most of the violence in the State. Their
acts are not approved by the majority Of the
people, but they are desperate characters, and
in the existing condition Of the State and local
Government they cannot be restrained but are
almost as much source of terror to the better
class Of the white population as to the ignorant
blacks

PRESENT STATUS OF THE FIGHT-INCIDENTs AND
POINTS IN THE CAMPAIGN.
The war between the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Pennsylvania Railroad Companies has closed
its first week without showing signs Of relenting
or of weakening ON either side. The reductions
in passenger rates first made by the Baltimore
and Ohio Road have been met by its rival, but
each seems desrouH for the present at least,
not to go below the abatements already made. 30
far the
OTHER GREAT TRUNK ROADS
between the East and West are holding neu-
tral position, but it a quite safe to predict that
if the war lasts week longer there will be a
general break and stampede along the whole
line. To keep the Erie and New York Central
out Of the fight the Pennsylvania Central en-
deavors to maintain the regular rates Of fare
between New Yark and Chicago, whilst from
Philadelphia to Chicago it has come down to the
low rates established by the Baltimore road. At
Chicago also there are evidences of growing dis
satisfaction with the unequal rates made to cer-
tain points that indicate that the quarrel must
spresd.
Baltimore and Potomac officials say that
NO BALTIMORE AND OHIO THROUGH TRAINS
from or to Washington have been carried by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company over the line of
road between Philadelphia and New York since
Thursday last. Up to Saturday, however, Balt.
more and Ohio passengers arrived at the Presi-
ident street Station, and proceeded on to Wash
ington via. the Baltimore and Ohio road.
1t is said that the putting Oh of the Old Do
minion Line of steamers for the transportation
Of the Baltimore and Ohio freight between Bal
timore and New York, via Norfolk, is only a
temporary arrangement, and that as soon as
possible
NEW LINE OF STEAMERS
will be placed in the service. The Baltimore

in these steamers, and are not competing for it.
