city ordidance forbids the erec-
ton of sign boards of greater
height than four feet without a

have been begun in the Third

The Autopsy OF the Vice.
President--C Comments Gifts
Haste.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The Wit
ness to-day comments upon the
unseemly haste attending the au-
topsy of the late Vice-President
Wilson. 1t says the announce
ment has struck the public very
unfavorably; that four hours after
death his body was in the hands
Of Washington surgeons, his brain
turned into the scale to ascertain
its weight, and his body cut up in
the interest of science. His brother
and executor were not near, for
the doctors had just assured them
that the patient was doing well.
On whom then rests the shame
and responsibility of this offensive
act. The nation ought to be told.

Mr.. PendLetOn's TieaCs.

George II. Pendleton made a speech
recently. in Ohio, in which he said;
"The Democrats do not favor depre-
ciated currency. They were in favor of
coin as the basis of currency; that pa
per currency should be convertible into
coin at par; that the party desire a re-
turn to specie payments as speedily as
the interest of labor and business will
permit; that we would be glad to,return
Immediately if honor and good faith and
justice would permit and it were posi-
BILE. The Democratic party IS not nolp, and
aerer has been, in favor of reputation in amy
form. We do believe it is our highest
duty to fulfil all our obligations, accord
ing to the spirit and letter of our prom
ise. We are not now, and never have
been, in favor of volume OF currency,
changing and huctuating according to
the whims of parties or interests of bank
ers or the demands of reckless specula-
tors, but sufficient for the easy, active,
economical and profitable interchange
Of commodities, and as fxed and stable

He confessed that there were defects and
dangers in this coin basis system; that
the uperstructure of paper was larger
than the foundation of coin, and that, as
the superstructure grows higher, it grows
wider and larger. he repeated that he
was hard-money man; that a return to
specie payments should be kept steadily

The Governor's appointments
For the Gasetts..
New CASTLE COUNTY,
July 28th. 1875.
MR. EpIToR:-

MR. EDITOR
"a. B. C." alias R"#K****, is
again In the Advertiser of last Satur-
day, exercising his fright TO criticise
the official acts of the Governor. "
That fright there Is none to dispute" !"
But the ear.marks which these letters
bear are so distinctly visible, that she
who runs may read" both their auth
orship and his animous; and If A. B. G..
and his family of chronic ofice-seekers
had more self-respect and discretion,
they would not provoke criticism and
exposure of their own weakness, by
this attempt tn do that which the Re-
publican party failed to do, in the ran
corous campaign last fall, that is, to
attach a stigma to Governor Cochran's 8
spotless name.
What now is the Governors official
offence? He has appointed to office a
gentleman of good capacity and of un-
blemished character, as all admit, one
who has record of fealty to the Dem
ocratic party, which runs back just
twice as far as that of which the pdi.
tor of the Adpertiser boasts. In that
consists the Governors offense-no
mOIe, uO lcsS. IL WAS ulb uuty anu
right 10 make the appointment and he
did it, acting upon his own best judg-
ment, reinforced by the larger number
of influ:n Democrats in this county
Now the fact is this: the real griev-
ance is not that he appointed Mr.. Beas-
ten to office, but that he did not app oint
Mr.. Regnoldsi That is what A. b. G.
and his family would say if they were
candid. The same bad temper which
is now being exhibited, was displayed
in most emphatic manner by one of
the family, few years ago, when the
defeated candidate for this second of
fee he has sought since the election
last fall, failed of election to the office
of Treasurer of the Poor. Personal
spite, growing out of chagrin from
disappointment, is the foundation of
this criticism, that's the whole of it.
"a. B. c." says: "the complaint
made of the Governor (by the RS is,
that he had ignored the element (Ned)
to whom he owes his position" &c.
"The young men Ned, the old gent
and y are justly sore" &c.
Oh, quit. this fooling Bill, and attend
to your too offices.
