its oft-mado overtures to the Southern
General Assembly for reunion, the
latter. just prior to adjournment,
adopted resolution declaring that
while they accept the proaered kind
feelings Of their Northern brethren,
they must still insist in their demand
for retraction Of the bitter denuncia-
tions made against them by the North
ern church during the civil war. This
the latter refuses to do and as the
Southerners show no signs Of giving
in, there does not seem to be any very
brilliant prospect Of speedy reunion

THE United States Senate, after an
able and lengthy debate, has at length
decided that ex-Secretary Belknap is
liable to impeachment for high crimes
and misdemeanors Notwithstanding his
resignation. As the Senate is the only
judge in matters Of its jurisdiction, this
decision is final and the trial must now
60 on. The only question to be settled
now is the guilt or innocence Of the
Secretary Of the charges made against
him, and having once virtually con-
fessed his guilt there would seem to be
but little doubt as to the issue Of the
trial.

Woman's Rights.

Woman has certain rights, I own,
That none will dare deny;
No king, nor senate can destroy
Her claims-nor will they try.
IT'S hers to smooth the homeward path
Of age-her strength their stay;
To guide their feeble footsteps here,
To brush life's thorns away.
IT'S hers to make a sunny home,
To cherish, and support,
With love, the one who claims her heart,
Through good, and bad report.
To watch the tiny, sleeping babe,
Just nesting in her breast,
To shield it with her mother love,
To guard it in its rest.
To watch, in vigils of the night,
The fevered tossing frame;
To cool the dry, and parching lips,
And ease the racking pain.
To close the eyes, VIXEN all is o'er;
To weep with those who weep;
To help the weary in their task,
Keep guard, while others sleep.
To love and cherish, guard, protect,
Make home sunny spot;
Keep ever pnre her mother name,
A name not soon forgot
To win and wear her husbands love
As an honored, cherished crest;
To hold her children's hearts o'er all,
"They will rise and call her bless'd."
To help to bear the widows woe,
To share the orphans tears;
To pray for strength for hearts depressed,
And help allay their fears.
To reach a helping, loving hand,
To those that are astray
To tread again the path to God,
As they faint along the way.
She claims but loving, trusting hearts
Let all their wealth be shownD
No law can take, nor ballot give
The jewels of her crown!
This, this is all, woman's rights
Quite easy to attain,-
IA woman governs most" 'tis said
"Where least she seems to reignr'

In the selection of Fl FL McMulleI
as their candidate for the Office o1
Sheriff the Republicans Of this county
have shown and acknowledged their ap-
probation Of the present popular de-
mand for the nomination Of good men
for office. Mr.. McMullen is an active,
energetic man and bears a reputation
for strict integrity in his business deal
ings, and will probably prove as strong
candidate as his party could have
chosen. and if he should happen to be
elected, would doubtless make a very
good officer. But Mr.. McMullen cannot
be elected. However unobjectionable
he may be personally he, unfortunately,
is identified with party which, in its
anxiety to retain its hold upon power,
has run to the widest excuses and left
no means, however dangerous to the
institutions Of the country untried
which. it believed, would or could, add
to its numerical strength or increase its
vote. The people Of Delaware hold the
Republican party responsible for the
degradation Of the elective franchise
until what was once pride is now only
exercised, with reluctance, from stern
sense of duty and Of self preservation,
and those who still adhere to that party,
thereby confessing themselves the will
ing abettors of all its excesses and the
abuse Of power and breaches Of trust
committed by its officials, come under
the popular bane and must fall beneath
the general indignation. Mr. McMul-
len is one of these. He has always
been an earnest advocate and adherent
of his party, supporting it in wrong as
we'll as in right, and must, therefore,
be held SO far responsible for all Of its
acts which are SO Objectionable to the
people. Viewed in such light, Mr..
McMullen is not, and cannot be accept
able to the citizens Of this county.
