---THANKs.---Judge Frank Thach will please accept thanks for couple of new subscribers handed in last Monday. Thes. names, Judge Thach obtained while on a little trip to Galla Rock. They are not the first that he has obtained for us. Why cannot other citizens who are older residents of the county than the Judge, and who certainly ought to be as much interested in her well fare, do as much for our enterprise as he does! A word spoken at the right time from most any good man would secure us new name, and the more names we have the better paper we can get out, and the more will be the credit it will reflect upon our county. If more of our friends would do as Judge Thach does we would soon have subscription list which would enable us to furnish our people paper without loosing money to do so. Is it asking too much to request our friends to send us in one new name each?
 Some of the handsomest gents dress coats ever brought to this mar ket can now be found at

County Supt., of Public In-
 structiOn.

The election for County Superin- tcndent of Public Instruction for Pope County was held at Dover on Monday the 9th, as provided by law. We are pleased to know that our worthy young friend, Mir. Robt. B. Wilson, who has been acting as Superintendent by appointment of Gov. Garland since the resignation of Prof. Moses, was elected.
 Mir. Wilson is thoroughly alive to the importance of fostering and building up our school interests, and will do all in his power as a school official to make the school system q success, and d benefit to our people.
 It is to be hoped that the trustees of the different districts in our coun- ty will lend q cheerful and hearty cooperation by stimulating an in- terest in school matters and by mak- ing full, correct and prompt reports as required by law to the County Superintendent. Unless the trus- tees do their duty and furnish the proper reports, it will be hard for our County Superintendent to repre- sent our county in his report so as to secure for us the pro-rata of the State fund to which our county is entitled,

tn. pIvIpER5' cAUcUs-TBE CORPSE OF DIVISION
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF DEMOCRATS To IT.
Special TO the Commercial.
DOVER, DEL, March s.
The demonstration made. last night, by the
delegation of county dividers, has certainly at
least resurected the proposition Of division from
the tomb of neglect in which it had been repos-
ing. But it does not follow, at all, that
the Legislature is to jump at the conclusion that
a majority of the people sympathize in the
movement. The members mostly keep their
own counsels, while there are others. amongst
whom might mention such men as Baldwin of
Mill Creek, Handy of Brandywine, and
Biggs of Pencader, who are firm in their
opposition to division. One OF these gentlemen
belonging to the proposed upper county and two
of them belonging to the proposed lower county,
and all being " Old Democrats of the line" they
certainly represent constituency, of the same
OPINION, and their Orthodox Democracy will con-
tradct the idea fippantly advanced that it is on
ly few Republicans, who are opposed to the
measure.
There were others i'll the meeting, last night.
from Wilmington, not sent here as delegates,
but who were here on ether business, that we're
almost to man opposed to county division.

A meeting Of tue holders OF The first mort

which is held in Boston. AS they have paid no

take steps looking to foreclosure but the main
obstacles in the way of this appears to be the
fact tina the property lies in two States and
it would be necessary to bring suits in two Cir

issued to the amount OF sl50,OOO and 1t was
Thought probable that some arrangements could
be made with the holders of second mortgage
bonds and the original stockholders, to avoid
the expense Of suit. A committee was ap-
pointed to make an investigation, and to recon-
mend the best plan for action. The meeting
then adjourned subject to call.

Major Moore: For the last four days the
high Ecclesiastical Court to determine whether
on account OF my religious opinions, l had
right TO seat in the " House" ;"
After four sessons of the most ex.
citing character, in which the hall OF
the House of Representatives was crowded with
spectators, they passed at midnight resolution
of expulsion. The first charge made against me
was the denial of the existence of Almighty God.
THIS charge they utterly failed to sustain.
proved by three witnesses that not only never
denied, but always affirmed the existence of II
God But as they had predetermined on my ex-
pulsion, they changed the charge into one OF
% Writing and publishing blasphemous and

hat: no opportunity whatever OF defending my
self. as it was only put before the House about
half an hour before the vote of expulsion was
taken. In a few days will publish a full ac-
count of this great ecclesiastical trial.
have only time to say dust now, that
was defended by three or four OF the best
and ablest Democrats in the House. The
speeches OF MIR. PinniX and Mr.. Mendenhall,
members from Davidson and Gulford counties,
were especially earnest and able. Mr.. Menden-
hall ia a member of the ''Society of Friends. >
He is both learned and conscientiously just
man. Mr.. Strong and Mr.. Gate, both able Dem
ocratic lawyers, voted against my expulsion.
Their defense OF me however, had little inhn-
ence on the great body of Democratic members
who were predetermined to expel me. Ostensi-
bly, was expelled on account OF my religious
Republican. All the Republicans but one, voted
against my expulsion.
You will hear from me again SOON
