THE HERALD.
WILMINGTON, sEPTEMBER7, 1875.
TO-DAY.

To-day every Democrat is reminded thai
Tie success Of his party devolves upon the
energy that he displays in conjunction with
r the balance of the members Of his party in
doing his full duty.
The watchword should be activity, l
is the metal that made Mayor Simms the
Chief Magistrate of the city, and it is the
same stern stuff that must win to-day.
Ample time has been given the members
of the party to study carefully the ticket
that has been placed in the field. 1t COM
3 prises men Of staunch reliability, those
who have won confidence and esteem by
strict integrity. '.
1t is for this reason that they have been
chosen, and by presenting their names, the
Democrats have brought to the front a
strong and invincible ticket. v>
A canvass Of the city has proven con-
clusively that the Democracy is better pre-
pared for the battle now than ever before.
There is unity Of purpose that will move
solidly for the ticket.
Every Democrat understands the i'm
portance Of concentration of the force Of
the party. This will be more noticeable
to-day than ever before. The party that
has held power SO long are as fully con-
vinced of the determination of their oppo-
nents as their opponents are determined to
do. For this reason they are using every
energy; resorting to Vaccinations of every
description to mislead, and for this the
Democratic voters should be wary. Ex-
anime your tickets carefully before depos-
iting them. Trust no one, but act for
yourself and it will be utterly impossible
to go astray.
We publish in another part of THE
HERALD the full ticket. 1t should be ex-
amined carefully and kept as matter Of
reference, for there is every reason to be-
lieve that artifces will be resorted to by the
Republicans. Split tickets will be plenti
full, and for this reason Democrats should
be careful to examine their tickets before
depositing them.
To those who are swaying, if there are
any, we would say that they will be of
benefit to nobody, and are decided disad-
vantage to any party,
But to all honest men we would say, "Do
your full duty, and there will be no reason
to fear defeat.

Literary Notes.

Bret Harte's new novel, which is at last
completed, and carefully guarded in the
publishers safe, calls forth the highest an
ticipations in Literary circles. 1t will be
begun as serial in the November num-
of tScribner's Magazine, without illnstra-
tions, for it is said to be graphic beyond
need of them, and full of incident. The
story takes its title, Gabriel Conroy,"
from its hero, a simple, good-hearted,
honest old miner, of type somewhat diff
ferent from that of illustrations predeces-
sors in Mr.. Harte's writings. Several
familiar friends, nevertheless, renew old
acquaintance, among them Col. Starbottle,
and the story is wholly in Mr.. Harte's orr
ginal field, and is said to fulfill as novel
the promise of his very best tales. The
opening is pronounced by critics who have
had access to the manuscript to be very
powerful !; it is terrible picture Of starv-
ing camp, and from this start the story is
said to hold the reader with an almost .un-
comfortable grip, seeing that he has to
wait month by month.
The Rev. Edward Everett Hale's new
story will be begun iu 4Scribners Mrgazine:
for January, on the conclusion Of DR.. Hol-
lands "Sevenoaks." Though not strictly
a centennial story, it deals with the early
history of the nation, and appeals there
fore to the omnipresent spirit. The title
is philip Nolan's Will Friends, or Show
Your Passports" Philip Nolan will be
remembered as the famous "Man without
a Country" who did yoeman service dur
ing the war by suggesting to people that it
was very uncomfortable indeed not to have
country. Philip Nolan was pictured as
having been banished for participation on
Burr's attempt at rebellion. He was pure
ly creation of Mr.. Hale's, yet the news
papers gave any number Of additional
facts about him, and Mr.. Hale himself re-
eeived letters from people who remember
ed this very Nolan. The new story will
be illustrated by sketches by Mr.. Halss
daughter.

These Are Funny.
Exchange.


A lady Of my acquaintance called on
newly married couple who had just started
housekeeping in the country in all the
softness of the honeymoon. In the course
of friendly condolences she asked, "Have
you any poultry?" "No, not yet," replied
the bridegroom, "only"-turning a de-
liquescent look on his beaming BRIDE
''only one little duck" II see, though"
retorted the visitor. that she has goose"
Only last week was explaining most
remarkable new motion in machinery to q
gentle inquirer. After exhibiting and sx-
planning the interaction Of the several
wheels, over and over, in every possible
way, I saw at last in the perplexed and
puckered face dawning light. The lines
relaxed, but instead of saying, see it, or
Eureka, or anything of that sort, she shook
her head ironically, and remarked that she
could never get acquainted with wheels for
they always 60 around in cog.

Bayard Taylor.

Bayard Taylor will be the editor Of epic
turesque Europe" Under arrangements con-
cluded last week with D. Appleton & Co.
Thus Mr.. Taylor will retrace his first jur-
neys,. when in company with his artist
friend he took "Views Afoot," and came
home to ascertain If any publisher wished
z book from young writer who had as
yet no name in literature. An interesting
memorial of that journey was long in tie
possession of the publisher who did want
such a book, Geo. P. Putnam, and has
since his death returned to the subject-a

an Read. Rnt that will not appear as a

This new venture of Messrs. Appleton
promises to be finer in appearance than
picturesque America" Mr.. Fredeficks
is nov designing the cover, and the first
number will be issued in October, if aufi-
cient copies for first supply can be printed
by that time. The early parts will deal
with the mother country, the first with the
abode of royalty, "the hotel for German
princes" as William Black calls it, Wind
sor Castle and town, and the second with
Eaton school. Eupope, Of course, gives
opportunity for picturesque interiors that
America cannot offer, and in this respect
the new work will have an advantage Of
which the most will be made. The draw
ings by Mr.. Fem and the other artists
have been engraved on wood by Harley
and other good artists, and the steel en-
craving has been done both here and
abroad.

THE HERALD POET ON FIRE.
Ye bosses in the little ring,
Ye minions all of mine,
Stand firmly by the polls to-day
III be your Valentine.
o Harry Pickles, Febiger,
Let's take a glass of wine!
I'll toss the dimes into your box,
And be your Valentine.
Well ring the jocund little tune,
That rung in "Auld Lang syne,"
When erstwhile you were at the helm,
And Josh your Valentine.
The Democrats, good men may be-
We calves among the kline,
But cheat it blindly all the day,
And save your Valentine.

DUEl.LING.

From time to time the public are inform.
ed that Mr., or more likely Major, SO and
so, "met another gentleman" in retired
place, under the dark browed walls OF
Honor castle, and shot at one another with
Derringers. 1t is high time this public
were individually button-holing one an
other and getting righteously indignant
over the matter. We have tournaments
in Delaware occasionally, in which our
fiery knights run full tilt at brass rings
with pine sticks wrought to a fine point.
But ask one Of these brave young men are to
tight duel over the golden locks of Be-
linda or Gregory's thumb-biting, they will
utter thank you and adieu."
There are still many, however, as. the
recent case in Illinois proves, who believe
in and put in practice their mistaken code
of honor. If there was ever an old-time
relic lugged into the smooth and unpreten-
tious etiquette of our time, this of duell-
ing claims the precedence in the eyes of
many. There are men who righteously
believe in it, and fail to see its
baneful efeea. They say that there
are so many little Subtle points
of niceness" coming up every year
between polite gentlemen. They urge that
law is beneath them at such times; and to
come to the point forget, too, that after
this manner couple Of cocks trim one
another's combs. Hector and Achilles
have gone to camp around Jupiter's throne
and watch Apollo as he strikes the heaven
iy bulls eye with his far-darting javelin:
Occur de Lion, is in the unknown regions,
too, tormenting Walter Scott about his
chivalric milksop, Sir Ivanhoe. Chivslry
is dead and any attempt to revive its doc
trines is foolish and duelling is utterly so.
A gentleman can appeal tohigher things
law, equity, and, above all, his own
manly forbearance and common sense.
Another bad side of the Edways-Foster
duel is that neither paid the penalty Of
their folly. "Shot at one another" says
the telegram. Shot at Arcturus off in tie
Northeast, rather.
"Both gentlemen behaved splen didly,"
continues the announcement. This is
pretty much like the man who boasted that
he could drihk bottle of beer in church
on the sly. Duelling is condemned by
every honest thinker, and this public GEN.
sure should have the voice Of the press at
its service upon every occasion Of the kind.

Mary Jane was young lady of seven
teen summers, rather attractive, and had
melted the stony heart Of young man
named c., a carpenter by trade, for
merly Of this city, but who at present re-
sides in Fon du Lac. c. had made

Last Sunday, however, the young gen.
tleman had come all the way from Fond
du Lac to visit the object of his undying
flame. He drove, with spanking new rig,
through the gate and up the driveway to
the house. The old lady had fire in her
eye. While Mary Jane was busily en-
gagged in robing herself in her prettiest
habiliments, her mother pounced upon her
waiting lover like KuKlux an south
ern schoolmaster, and proceeded to warm
him in way that he thought very pecu-
liar. The old lady has the nerve of lion,
and she laid down the blows thick and fast.
young C. kept driving round and
round, trying to shield himself in the car
riage top 1t was no go; she was getting
the best Of him. He finally drove to the
gate, and as he jumped out to open it she
caught him by the throat cut him fearfully
over the face and head with the whip, and
used the fellow up completely.
By this time Mary Jane had appeared
on the scene, and hastened to the little
front gate, where she waited until C.
had once more jumped into the carriage,
when in she jumped beside him, and away
they sped down the road, leaving the irate
mother blank with rage and astonishment.
The action of the old lady had brought
matters to climax, and it was either do
or die. The consequence was they drove
straight to Fon du Lac, and that night
they were. married. The affair caused
quite ripple on the surface of society in
the town of Vinland, and created much
gossip and excitement in that usually
quiet vicisity.

time it may become necessary or proper
Accompanying this answer was
speclal plea, signed by the counsel Tor
the Treasurer, which was offered to the
Court, to the effect that the respondent
plead not guilty generally to
all the charges, but reserved
to himself the right to make
any objection or objections to the fore
going charges, and not cotess'ng or ad-
,nitting the constitutional or tegot author
tty of tie Court to try him. This fell like
bombshell upon the Court and the
managers, inasmuch "a it threatened
summary disposition of the case on the
Ground that the Senate had no right to
i, AS Court, there being no statute in the
State providing for its organization. The
Managers of the Impeachment argued
earnestly, against the reception OF the
plea, contendng that if the High
Court of Impeachment was not legally
constituted 1t was a question to be de-
cided before any further proceedings
should be taken. 1t would not do for
them 10 try the case, and then in case Of
| conviction. hnve their whole labor Tor
nothing. Mr.. DAVENPORT replied reit-
| Grating the assertion that there was no
| law under which the Senate could organ.
ize itself into Court, and ho 0''od "a
thorities to prove lis position. The dis
cussion on this subject consumed nearly
the entire day; and when ut last 1t WAS
proposed to take a vote on the reception
Of the plea, the matter was considered OF
such Importance rs to induce the Court
TO close its doors and discuss it over in
secret. The resul. of this solemn con-
sul,atipn was a determination not to re-
celve the special plea, and it was there
| fore rejected. IL is probable, however
that this very interesting question Is not
ended Yet, and it would not be altogether
surprising if it should turn out that, after
all said and done, the House may
find itselfin the very peculiar, anomalous
and awkward position OF having indicted
State officials, without there being any
Court in which to try them, and that
utter tie iadirtme,.', it will be forced to
go to work and help provide means for
| proper hearing of the charges or allow
them to fall to the ground.
