Radical Negro Voters Loo ked A f,er.
Prom "a nal

From the Delawarean.
The Republican managers in this
State have been for some time busy in
procuring the assessment of every me-
gro they can find or hear of in
the State in order that they NAV. if
possible, by the cid of negro votes, car
~ the next election. AS soon as this
task is performed, there are other oues.
tions which will engage their atten.
tion. One of these questions will he
now they shall conduct the canvass
without giving tso much prominence
70 the colored element. 1t is known
that thls has given the Republican
managers much trouble in some pre-
vious campaigns; in fact it is said
that en- some occasions they have been
AFRAID 10 call meetings in certain local
tiles Tor fear the negroes would attend
ana thereby drive out of the party
some OF the more conservative white
hepu biicans who do not like political
animation with negroes. Sometimes
they nave been able to make arrange
meuts with the colored voters to stay
away from political meetings by assur-
ances mat 1t would enable them to
carry the election, when they could
40 them full justice by admitting
them TO participation in local offices
ana could legislate for their interests
Whether THIS game will be played this
year we shall See, but iG is one of the
questions which will soon demand at.

PENNSYLVANIA HELPS THE RADIcALs.-
We regret to find that the Pennsylvania
Democracy has sent 10 the Senate of the
United States nan who is ready to
join the Radicals in their efforts to de-
feat Retrenchment. Senator Wallace
has declared he will vote against the
proposition in the House bill to reduce
the salaries of the West Point Profes-
sors. Logan says there are no men in
the United States competent to fill these
Professorships. There is not word Of
truth in this. They receive high sala.
ries now and more active and bette,
men can be had for less money. Let the
Radical professors resign if they dar,
and see whether their places cannot b.
filed.

Sale of the PhiIadeIphia Navy Yard

Sale of the PhiIadeIphia Navy Yard.
WASHINGTON, February 90. - The
Secretary of the Navy has TRANSMITTED
to the House of Representatives the re.
port Of the commissioners appointed
in March, 1875, to sell the navy yard
at Philadelphia, from which it appears
the property was sold for a million of
dollars to J. G.. Bullitt,and on tAe pay
ment of the money deed was given
to him. The incidental expenses at.
tending the sale were $40, ,63S, and the
expenses Of the commission 81. .i93.

Few weeks ago the ice companies Of
New York advanced the price of ice fully
fifty per cent, in anticipation of failure
OF the crop. But they calculated without
their host, 1T seems, for the fact has trans
pred that there was surplus of ice last
season in New York already sufficient to
compensate for the failure to secur a Gro D
this season, which, together with the en-
forced econmy of consumers, will certain
ly spare US the horrors of an ico famine.
But there is still more comfort for con.
sumers that there is an abundance of ice
In Maine, as much of which will find its
way to our markets as will be required
for all purposes. and, as the quality of ice
procured there is greatly superior to New
York ice, consumers can afford to pay a
better price for it.-Phila Chronicle.

AMERICAN MANUFACTURES IN EURopH.-
Since the people of the Southern St.tes
have commenced to manufacture goods
Tor their own consumption the northern
factories have been compelled to turn
their attention to Europe for market
and 1t is gratifying to learn that large
orders have recently been received in
New York and Boston for American mus
Inns aad prints. Recently great many
cases OF such &C DDS have been shipped
on orders at the manufacturers prices.

Gen. Sherman says if the proposed re-

GERS, the best portion of them will re.
sign. This may be 80, but at present we
do not believe it. Will Gen. Sherman
resign and 90 back to his old business of
clerking at dollar week and board
Not very likely; and in these times,
when more fortunes are lost than made,
and employment is not, as formerly. to
be had for the asking. there is little i'm
portance to be attached to the General $
menace. But, admi tting his assertion
to be true, what then? 'There are as
good fish IN the sea as ever were caught"
and therefore, whenever these disgusted
shoulder-Strapped and epauletted gentle
men see fit to retire. there will spring up

A ASwimmer Five Hours and q Half in
Stormy Sea.

THE Boston Traveller says while the
ship Memnon, Capt. Baker, was beating
down the Bay of Bengal, seaman fell
from the foretopsail yard while reeing.
A life-buoy was cut adrift, the sailor
reached it and, stripping himself, made
fast to the buoy with his suspenders, for
the sea was very rough and he was in
danger of being cramped if he held on
with his hands. In the meantime the
ship, after sail was made, attempted to
work to the windward Of him, but ir
vain; after wearing several times (she
would not stay, the sea was SO heavy
and losing sight of him, he was given up
for lost.
A faint cry was heard; he was again
seen "a lead line was fastened to another life.
preserver and thrown overheard. He noticed
this, struck out and finally reached it, and
was hauled on board, after being in the
water five hours and q halt. He had
husbanded his strength and, a. the watel
was not cold, did not suffer much beyond
shipping considerable water.
