Arguments % ,or County Diy,,,on

10 the objection that il there were four coun-
ties in the State, there would be three of them
antaeonistic to this, instead of two, as now,
Mr.. Croasdalc urged in the Board Of Trade, that
this would not be 30. Az New Castle county
would then be the smallest OF the four. in pop
ulstioh, the interests of Kent and Sussex would
be identified with Wilmington county against
New Castle, aud the three would grind her to
powder :"
This pleasant prospect for the people of the
lower hundreds, in case of county division, was
supplemented by the remarks OF Mr.. Stene,
10 the objection that the division of
the county would double the number
Of Offices and oiice-holders, thus greatly ncreas-
ing the burden Of taxes to be borne by the same
people who now sustain but one county organ
ization, Mr.. Stone argued that the increased
harden would all fall on the lower county-New
Castle-snd that while the people there might
have good cause to groan under it, the argu-
ment did not move the people of Wilmington,
Brandywine, Or Chrstana, who are to form the
new upper county.
These are cheerful prospects for the people
Of ne seven hundreds whom it is proposed to
cut OF from this city. They will bear all the ill.,
crease OF expense, says one advocate of division;
and they will find themselves weakest and
smallest OF the four counties, the other three
joining to grind them to POWDER" says anoth-
or. How do you like the prospect, citizens south
Of the proposed dividing line?

The scheme OF County Division WI.
minEtOn the County scat.

The establishment in this city Of the courts
and Offices of record is thing felt to be 80 de.
sirable by our citizens that the scheme Of
dividing the c, unity thereby acquires strength.
Except for that it would hardly be entertained.
The indueem'nt, indeed, is \ strong one.
The people Of Wilmington, comprising more
than half the people Of the county, and paying
nearly half its taxes, have suffered the extre.
NEST Inconvenience, annoyance. and expense by
being obliged to go to New Castle upon all court
and county business. and as relief. though earn
estly sought, has not been attained by other
methods, many accept the division proposition
as the only practicable solution Of the trouble.
Those Of the members of the Board Of Trade
who we're present at the meeting, last evening
generally took this view, though several Of them
entertain strong objection to the scheme of d.
VISION considered in all its bearings, and more
than one doubted the expediency both of bring
ing in the proposition, and OF explicitly endors-
ing it under existing circumstances. But the
eloquence of the outside addresses was 30 per.
suasive, and the meeting was 30 plainly gathered
in the interest OF the measure, that the vote to
favor it was withou. all expressed opposition
voice.
Should the proposed amt ndment secure the
necessary two-thirds Of each House, ut this ses.
sion of the Legislature, 1t will lie over to next
session, and, to be ratified must then receive
three outts OF each House, The interest taken
in the question in this County and the division
of opinion il regard to il, will make it, no doubt
al issue in the campaign, next year, and espe-
cial!y All issue in the, choice of members Of the
Legislature. II, in the contest three Senators,
or six members of the House be chosen opposed
to the DIVISION it will be defeated, and in the
turmoil of conflicting interests, i. will not be
surprising, surely, if at least 30 many should be
chosen. 1t will be surprising, Oh the contrary,
II the opposition should not prove much strong

ity. To wrest them from their hands intimila-
ton is necessary. With the mastery Of every
southern State the rebel element has two DOS
sibilities. In the first place, it may enforce its
local policy and. in the second place, il only
needs fifty electoral votes from the entire North
aud West to capture the General Government,
With the success Of the former plan il will re-
duce tho blacks to practical peonage-with the
success OF the latter plan il will bring forward
every imaginable claim. Already in several
southern States schemes have been proposed
with the design OF shutting out the blacks from
the ballot-box and placing them under the heels
OF their old masters. Then again the rebel eIe-
ment OF Arkansas has just adopted new con.
stltuton. In the constitution of 1865 there was
prohibition oil accession. ln the constitution
OF 1874 this prohibition is struck ont. Why?
The country still misconceives very much OF
what ifsees at the South. Take the sbsnditi"
dispatch of Sheridan. He simply used language
which Washington himself used But, whether
justified or not, the country has never under
stood its purpose. Sheridan had no thought that
the plan OF military commission he suggested
would be adopted. The dispatch was not de-
signed for report to Washington or for the in
formation of the country, but for immediate ef-
feet in New Orleans. II was, rs President Grant
describes it,simply piece OF strategy All New
Orleans WAS in ferinent. 1t WAS the day after
the coup Il .tdt in the Legislature. The city
WAS powder magazine, where a spark would
produce an explosion. Something was needed
to strike and subdue the intlsmmatory populace.
and Sheridan, with soldiers keen eye, wrote
his dispatch. Its object VAS shown by the fact
that he sent it, first Of ALL to the New Orleans
papers. 1t had its effect and he WIS right.

COUNTY DIVISION NOT STRONG rnERE-No SPECIAL
FEELING IN FAVOR OF rr-Ma. NowLAsD's Ao-
lion.
SIs;iai 10 tbs Commercial.
MIDpLErowN, February ~.
The proposition to divide the county, which
has been supposed by some to be Middletown
scheme, has no strength here. 1t In talked OF,
occasionally, as topic Of the day, but there il
no positive feeling of support for it. The opinion
seems to be general among both Republicans
and Democrats, that there is no good reason for
division When there are two counties,
instead OF one, there will be two county
organizations, two sets Of expenses, and
two assessments Of tax. We are not badly
accommodated, NJ present. and there is,
az remarked above, no general desire for cut
ting up the county. The fact that no distinct
plan OF division has been developed. and no pre-
else line generally adopted AS the right one to
divide on, leaves public opinion in a disorgan-
lied condition, and adds to the impression that
"theres nothing in " the scheme.
Mr.. Rowland, our member Of the House,
| seems to consider the proposition out of the
question, as he HIS introduced measure for in
creased representation. II the county were to
be divided, that wonld bring increase OF repre-
| sentation with it, and MIR. Nowland's measure
| would be unnecessary.
Our town election takes place on Monday.
There is some interest in ii, as usual, and there
| will be a number Of candidates in the field fol
the various placer, but the tickets are not yet
| fully made I'D ",

iou know we are pretty well used to having
earthquakes, here,-slight ones-but last Thurs
day night at midnight we had really terrible ex-
perience in that line. The motion shook us
violently FROM side to side cracking the walls and
ceilings abont us. aud breaking the roof part
OF which fell in with loud noise. Il lasted two
minutes and some seconds; then after half a
minute Of rest came another, longer and still
more terrible. AT one o'clock, came two more
which seemed still worse, for now the earth In
stead Of shaking from side to side heayed up and
down till 1t felt as IL some one was under nv bed
trYingto lift II to the ceiling; but it was the
whole house-the whole earth OF Yokohama
thus lifted and iostled Every beam in the
house cracked and groaned, and rushed into
the hall thinking this time the end had surely
come and We would all be killed.

you the sckening, hopeless agony of the fright
the feeling OF it. You have to experience It to
understand it, and never want TO experience it
again. What with the earthquakes in winter
and the typhoons IN summer, this is terrible
country. only hope We shalt DO able TO leave
it for our own good solid land before we are
