Ir strikes us that it Is not very civil or

England, the Standard, to call Mr.. Glad |
stone sharply to account for the OWL
things which he hid about the United
States in his reply 10 the invitation sent
him by some Down Eastern busybody
to attend the Centennial at Lexington.
1t can hardly be thought to be Mr.. Glad
stones fault that such an invitation was
sent to him. And the invitation having
been sent, we do not see how MIR. Glad

would have been very graceful and
proper act, Ao doubt, on the part OF MIR.
Gladstone, or of any other prominent
Englishman of his way of thinking, to
attend OF his own notion the Centennial
or to send message OF good will to
those who were celebrating 1T. But pre-
cisely the same reasons which would
have made an unsoliclt ri tribute to the
men Of our Revolution from the British
ex- Premier both becoming and touching,
made the bringing of the Centennial to
his notice by Americans both awkward
and impertinent. But ought Mr.. Glad
stone, therefore, to have resented the
act as if it had Leen intended as an in
suit? Clearly not. The Standdrd pref
ty plainly implies that he was guilty Of
a sort Of infidclity to Great Britain, in
that he refrained from pointing out to
l,.t u
full features of our existing political sys-
tenn. So far as concerns the Standards

A Shamokin correspondent Of the

was something wrong, and the matter
was investigated, and it was found
that orders amounting to $1,000 per

they pleased, and when given work by
the Directors of the Poor, after work.

KANDoLPH, N. Y, May 1O.--The Hon.

liage was robbed Friday night. The bur
glars effected an entrance through the
back door, which opens in the sleeping
apartment of the watchman, Henry

door open, and before he had time to re-
ailze the situation he was seized by three
strong men, bound, gagged, handcuffed,
ana bound to chair and his life threat
ened II he offered resistance. The bur
glars then blew open the door of the
vault but did not succeed in opening The
door OF the safe as the noise of the eYploe

or $500 belonging to the post office which
was in the vault, was taken. One of the
burglars was captured.

WILMINGTON. DEL, MAY III. 1873.
Chief Justice Cilp,n's Charge.

In his charge to the Grand Jury, yes.
terday, Chief Justice Gilpin, in the most
direct and fercible language, called their
attention to the fearful increase of crime
in this county. The Chief Justice, as
States Attorney and as Judge, has had
the amplest opportunity to remark the
progress OF crime in our county, and his
note Of warning has not been uttered
bit too soon. II conveys to our people n
most important notice, aud it comes to
us from our highest legal authority and
through q proper channel. We express
on behalf Of the readers of the GAZETTE
sincere thanks to Chief Justice Gilpin
for this timely utterance of an admoni-
tion that was greatly needed.
But our readers will please bear in
mind that although it comes from the
Court, with all the solemnity which dig
nifty and well spent years can give to It,
sanctioned by surrounding official asso-
Citations, and spoken in the presence Of
the Grand Inquest of the county, it is
not to them alone; but is meant to reach
as well every hearth stone, and should
be brought to the attention of every
family, through the heads thereof.
Who can tell the effect of fathers
or mothers admonition? Who Of our
young mon and maidens have yet at
tanned that dreadful point as TO give no
heed to the warnings Of both father and
mother? Few, indeed, we think. 1t is
not improbable that the uplifted hand
has been staid a thousand times by the
recurring memory Of the mothers warn
ing and invoking voice.
DO the people of this county really
know that notwithstanding the work of
all the churches crime is "fearTnlly on
he incredsef" We would be glad to be-
lieve theJ did not. We would then feel a
greater confidence in their ability to
cneck the career of vice. How can this
be donef Not by appeals to the
Grand Jury alone. Nor is this appeal
intended for thesr ears only. 1t is meant
10 De conveyed to the attention of every
MN and woman in the county. The
good as well as tho bad-the former is
Solicited to exert all their influence 10
pat stop to crime; and the latter al
c1iied upon to pause and reflect and to
urn and follow better ways, and that
peedily.
ohall 1t continue to be said Of New
castle county, which has pridcd herself
oi her schools and churches, her learn
ing and refinement, that her p9ople per-
init the fearful increase of crime ?''
We hope not. Reform socially ns well
us politically is needed.
1t Is true that many of the viler char
acters of the country have Of late years
abandoned the rural sections. But this
does not fully account for the fact OF
crime diminishing rapidly in the tive
lower counties and increasing at so de.
plorable rate i'll our own Society dc.
