lave drawn him into scandal that would
be disgraceful 70 one il private life. Men
Of his own appointment have BEEN exposed
as thieves Of the very worst type, and there
is hardly department of the government
free entirely of suspicion. Grant is a
thoroughly party man; he believes that
the party should be served and then the
public interests, and IN this serving Of
party he gives private preference of public
interests. In SO doing he has countenanced
the mass Of corruption that has almost ne
cessitated the turning Of the whole Con-
gress into investigating committees, and if
be is not proven dishonest he is SO clearly
allied to it that his prudence has deferred
him from overstepping the line. Taken
altogether, Mr.. Grant, or rather, we should
give him the benefit of his full title, Pres
ident of these United States, is in very
ugly position, and from which he will never
be able to extricate himself without some
of the dirt clinging to his skirts.

THE police could be distributed on Sun
day afternoon along Delaware avenue, to a
decided advantage, for the protection of
female modesty. Crowds Of youths on the
corners squirting tobacco juice with indis-
criminate ideas as to the particular locality
in which it strikes, coarse remarks are
made of those who pass whether male or fe-
male, and is not at all suggestive of pro-
priety, much less decency. The fences are
lined with class of men and boys who
conduct themselves equally as badly. A
correspondent writes that this should he
broken up, and we agree with him that il
the police were to appear upon the avenue
once during an afternoon, this state oI
affairs could be destrsyed, and should be
for the protection of ladies against the
coarse remarks of ill.manered boys and
men.

THE BEECHER SKELETON.

The Beecher skeleton continues to rattle
its bones at different times in Brooklyn.
On Wednesday night, in Plymouth Church
there was meeting held in which there
was discussion over Mr.. Bowen's expul-
sion, when DR.. Ward took part and de-
clared that Mr.. Beecher was guilty of all
that he had been charged with. The con-
gregation arose en- massc, and amid cries
Of pitch him out" "Leave the room,'
&C., made a rush for him, and would have
done him violence, had not the good sense
of some prevailed. Resolutions expelling
him were passed and he left. This is a
style peculiar to Plymouth Church;
because man iearlessly expresses
his opinion, he is to sbe violated
by so-called Christians who are infuriated
into mob. Where there is so much
smoke thore must be some fire, and the
truthfulness of Dr. Wards assertion. per
haps, il what caused this violent demon
stration towards him. Mr. Moulton was
treated in similar manner in this church
once for daring to do the very same thing.
1t would not be a bad idea to have de-
tacbment of police present at all the meet
ings of the church.

The visit of Dom Pedro, Emperor of Bra
zil, to Wilmington yesterday from Phila
delpha, was marked by the same quiet, un-
assuming manner that he has borne
throughout. His visit here was to inspect
our machine shops and ship yards, to gain
what instruction he could, that he might
impart knowledge of what he gained to
the same interests in his own country. It
was not generally known that the city had
such distinguished presence, and he came
and went without being embarrassed by
those annoyances of toadyism which are by
no means gratifying to men who have brains
as well as position.

HON EST MEN,

We do not think it the strongest stamp
of honesty, that man in Office should
make great exhibit of it by decisive and
consummate action. He is in the posi-.
ton to do SO; demands of office make il
imperative with all the essentials of honest
principles that he should expurgate cor
ruption from all departments under his
control. Public criticism is a strict CEN
sor OF public men; their private and
official actions. 1t is the constant prick to
uprightness, and those in Office who are SO
debased as to disregard it must receive that
inaiction Of calumny and suspicion which
now overwhelms the Chief Executive of
this nation. But we claim that the great
est we'll springs Of honesty are those which
in their private value to mans character
and to those who associate with him, come
out spontaneously, like water through the
earth's surface, without the forcing in
Auences of executive power. 1t is the
virtue stamp that the private character,
nurtures the walks Of daily life in. 1t is
not the server of political, or other ambi-
tious purposes. From such men we must
judge honesty, and such is the one Della
ware would most delight to have made
President of the United States in the per-
son of Hon. Thomas F. Bayard.

wild Rill in Cincinnati.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
The latest sensation at the National is
Observation-Disclosures melo.drama, which
includes a frontiersmans fights for life
with United States military, with Indi-
ans on the war trail, with border des-
perudoes in n gambling saloon, with a
rival for the affections OF an unattractiye
maiden, and finally with "grizzly bar"
This frontiersman is called Wild Bill,
alias Mr.. Harry Spriggins; aud the an
nouncemcnt that wild Bill would have
real fight at the National with real
"bar" drew n pretty fair house. The
bear comes in during the second and last
act Of Wild Bill. Bill has already killed
several tribes OF Indians, several regi-
mcnts OF United States infantry, and sew
eral hundreds OF bloodthirsty despera-
does, when an all.seeing Providence
causes him to be simultaneously assault
ed by whole nation OF "red devils" and
"bar." Bill, however, has tried friends
capable OF contending successfully even
with Providence; and his friends slaugh-
ter all the "Injins" while Wild Bill
slaughters the "bar."
The "bar" is not grizzly, but fat
little black bear, which we we're last night
informed dis u right nice bear" 1t is
certainly we'll trained. At the proper
moment the bear rushes from behind the
scenes, over mimic rocks and cascades,
and attacks Bill with tremendous vigor.
For about five minutes Wild Bill and the
bear hug each other very fercely, until
Bill manages to stab the animal with n
remarkably bright bowie knife. Then
the bear rolls Bill on the stage, and both
continue to roll over and over until at
last the frontiersman is seen lying upper
most, but still in the bears terrible hug,
when the curtain falls amid irenzied ap-
plause.

What Ais Col. Ben Wilson:

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Mr. Young
Of Tennessee, from n subcommittee on
tho ventilation OF the hall Of Represents
tiycs, made u report to the House to-day,
to the effect that it was impossible to
force into the House sufficient supply
of fresh air for 600 persons, and submit
ted a resolution to exclude from the gal.
lerics all persons except those who have
the privilege OF the reporters and diplO-
matte galleries, and such as may be ad.
mitted on the card OF members. A de.
bate sprung up on the report.
Mr.. Harrison, OF illinois, advocated il,
on the ground that the gentlemen's gal.
lery was daily crowded with oilers, and
that the members Of the House were be.
ing poisoned by foul air. Mr.. Conger, OF
Michigan, opposed 1t, Us proposing to
draw a line between the classes OF the
American people. He suggested, sarcas'
ticaIIy, that the Democratic majority in
the House should DO able 10 force in a
supply Of fresh air under the previous
question or by n suspension OF the rules,
or by some other means.
In the course Of the discussion, Mr.,
Blaine said that from some source or
other the air OF the hall had never been
SO bad rs this year. Mr.. Wilson, Of Iowa,
asserted that it was worse than the air
OF emigrant ships. Mr.. Hoar, Of Massa'
chuSetts, remarked that he had come
here eight years ago the youngest mem
Der Of his delegation, and now be was the
senior member Of that delegation, and in
that brief period seven members Of that
delegation had died. The report was re-
committed.

A few days since, while passing through
Ohio county, your correspondent came
to the quiet village Of West Liberty.
Learning that one Of the State Normal
Schools was located there, we decided to
visit it and learn from observation the
condition Of the school.
1t being Saturday, the school was not
in session; but fortunately, soon after mr.
irving at tho hotel we met Prof. Gwynn,
the principal OF the school, who informed
US that they were holding n Teachers In.
sIltm'c and invited us to attend, which We
willingly did.
The institute was very good, similar to
others held elsewhere. There was a session
IN the evening, in which tho usual exer.

Editors IntelliEenccE
Being located in this metropolis Of the
South, l thought that communication
to your paper Of descriptive nature
would not be amiss. To begin with, be-
lieve the acknowledged population, both
white and colored, numbers about l5O,-
900. OF this number the colored ratio is
about one.third. Your readers are aware
that large proportion Of the inhabitants
are Of pure French blood or Of French de-
scent. In the old French market place,
just below the levee, yon will hear almost
exclusively the French dialect. The
names OF the streets, their novel and mar
row appearance, would also indicate a
foreign settlement.
