SALISBURY, Nd, Sept %.
iour correspondent has been two weeks ab-
sent from town, and now finds the excitement
aroused by the Democratic ''primsries' and their
County Convention just ebbing away. General
satisfaction is expressed by the party adhereuts
at its work, and the ticket, altogether, is very
well selected. Several OF the young political as
pirants had their claims weighed, and Judging
from results, were found wanting.
1t is admitted that the nominations were made
iii fear of the independent element OF the party
and for the purpose Of conciiating It, and this
purpose seems TO have been accomplished. The
Republicans will not, in all probability, have q
ticket III the field, and this, 1t seems to me, 10
not wisdom on their part, AZ such course will
wesken party ties aud lose to them organization
and discipline.
Business shows evidences OF revival here, az
tho Fall trade opens. The farmers generally are
cheerful over their good crops of corn, yet 1t Is

next business i'll hand is sowing wheat
The Agricultural fair ground is being ar
ranged and preparations are well advanced to
grade and fence the field which contains nearly
twenty acres. But no fair will be held this

On Thursday evening, October 14tli, unique

lions of the opera. Those who expect to find
in the performances of these chill
dren an exhibition of precocty savor-
ing Of the stern rod OF tue professional
trainer will be much disappointed Everything
they do is done apparently con dD,ore, and the
mechanical and liieess precision of the conven-
tlonal stage urchin finds uu similitude in those
wonderful little Juveniles. Tho opera is of
oourse very broad trayesty on the romantic
story no delightful to chillhood, but the music
is quite bright and the plot sufficiently at
tractlve to afford initiate amusement 10 the
most exac,iug theatre-goers. Its exhibition is
not alone pleasing to children, but the sternest
sd1lt cannot but be delighted with an evening

A LETTER FROM THE REV. dENrLEMtss sTEr-
MOrHEg-suE DENIES ALL sH1nE IN rHE
CHARGES.
TO he Editor " The Commercia:
ln reference to the charges made against mt
by the corr sspoDdent in tie Wilmington Dali,
COMMERCIAL dated Wednesday, September 10
1875, also in the DELAWARE TRIBUNE, dstet
Thursday, September 49, 1875 I would say al
are false.
In the first place, At Mrs. VAnMeter and my
self are very warm friends is untrue, as do no
think would know her, II we met.
Secondly AS Rev. Il. T.. Kenney WAS not
one OF the executors, nor "the champion OF the
rights of the other heirs to his fathers estate
it was unnecessary for me to consult with him
on business matters.
Thirdly: never presented directly or indi-
rectly bill OF any description contracted aftei
tho death OF my husband to the family or the
other two executors. My bill for clothing was
paid out OF money earned by myself, teaching
school, previous to my marriage aud did not
amount to three hundred dollars.
In response to the notice in the paper, q few
bills frou others, contracted previous to my
husbands death, were sent to me, ] being one
of tho executors. These bills were again sent
to Jos R. Kenney aud d. Ii. Bates, also execn-
tors.
Fourthly The estate ia not valued at 1926
00D.
Filthy. In reference to the statement that II
have concocted the whole charge in order to
revenge myself upon Mr.. Kenney and that
1t is ali attempt to blsckmail,' I would say, L
was perfectly ignorant OF Mr.. Kennays actions
until informed by friond ut O,ean Grove. where
had been boarding from the ooh OF July until
Sept. 3rd. | WAS not aware his case Was under
investigation, Until inforned OF the result. Sep

II the Rev. Mr.. Kenneys injuiicuu4 friends
really desire to serve him, they would do well to
avoid inventing motives for others, and such
statements as have deemed it my duty to refer
to, which have not even tine seniblanca of truth
to sustain them. MRS. A. i. k.SSEY
