A Man who had been Imprisoned for Sew.
eral Years declared by . Jury to
be In His right Mind.

A trial of great interest took place at
Deer Park Hotelin Newark, Del, on Tues
day last. 1t was the examination by a
jury into the case of David McConaughey,
who for several years past has been treated
as lunatic and confined in Kirkbride's
Hospital and New Castle CO. Aims House.
David McConaughey was the eldest son
at the death of his father, and under the
direction of his grandfather took charge of
the estate. He freed the property from
debt, which at the time is understood to
have equalled the full value of the property,
and took the same at an appraisement. He
of money, and finally sold out the home
place to two of his brothers. Being out of
business with an income sufficient to main
tain him, he took to drink, which, after
long spell, overthrow his nervous system.
He was then confined in Kirkbride's, where,
with the exception Of short absence on
"french leave" he remained for nearly
four years. About two years ago he came
homo very much reduced in body, being a
mere skeleton, and with his nervous sys-
tenn severely shattered. In this condition
he called on physician, under whose treat
ment he began to improve, and as strength
returned he began to ask for settlement
of accounts which had remained open DUR
ing his confinement at Kirkbride's. 1t is
stated that this request was denied, but
persisting in his demand, under plea of
his becoming dangerous, he was by force,
the statement goes, taken to Wilmington
without any warrant of law and there held
several months.
He left the Aims House in Wilmington,
and has been residing at Wilmington and
Newark since his escape. By orders of
Chancellor Salisbury, tho trial came off
as above stated, and the jury declared him
sane.
David McConaughey testified that his
brothers owed him some $1S, 900 or $19 900,
with large amount of back interest, but
the interest, he said, had been consumed in
his maintenance at Kirkbride's and tho
New Castle county aims house.

George Jones' celebrated Hams for sale,
by MCCRERY & BOULDEN.

The progress of the Connecticut Ii
quor dealers toward securing the repeal of
the license law received sudden check on
Thursday of last week by the appearance
of Mr.. Thomas Waller, one of the Demo-
cratic leaders of the State, before the Joint
Legislative Committee, in opposition to
the repeal. In rapid review of the ques-
ton, Mr.. Waller showed that the liquor
sellers do not need any greater freedom in
their trade; that the public do not demand
the removal Of wholesome restrictions;
that there is already licensed dealer for
every fifty voters in the State. The '1ocal
option principle he defended as in har-
mony with our governmental system. In
respect to the bearing of this question
upon political parties, he warned his Dem
ocratic friends that they could not afford
to espouse the cause of the liquor dealers
and identify their party with them.
If Mr.. Thomas Waller were in this lati-
tude the Democracy would think of a
straight jacket for him.

n Tho Democratic party is very forci-
bly, described by the Tribune as an old roue
with undying vanity, rouged cheeks, false
teeth, waved nose, and dyed hair; with
vicious habits and bad name. The end
and aim of its action is not to secure wise
and benificent government, but to obtain
control; it is the getting Of office which oc-
cupies its time and thought, and absorbs
the entire energies OF its leaders. The
manner of administering the offices is of
no consequence whatever.
