MORTON BLAINE AND,CoNKLING AT LOG
GERHEADs.
Q WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The OPINION
very generally prevails among leading
democrats that the leaders ofthe Repupll-
can party begin to show signs of falterlng'
The repub lican side ofthe Senate is not
unit on this question. There are re-
publicans senators who hold that the
president of the Senate has not under the
constitution this power, and they VIII
maintain their opinions on this question
with great force of argument. 1t is no
secret that Senator Conkling has prepared
la brief of authorities to be used at the
proper time in an argument, which he
proposes to make whenever the question
sha il come up for discussion in the Sen
ate. He holds that the two houses OF
Congress alone possess the power to count
the electoral votes; that the duties OF the
president of the Senate are simply minis
lterial; that he is merely the custodian,a and
THAT when he shall have broken the seals
and handed the contents of the envelopes
Ito the tellers his duty will have been per-
formed. He will also maintain that Con-
gress has the right TO go behind the re-
Turns made by the proper state authorities
and if there are good and sufficient rea-
sons therefore to exclude from the count
1.-THE electoral votes of the states in dispute.
Whether or not he will maintain that II
the votes of any state are rejected il fol-
lows er necessidtie rel that the House OF
Representatives shall then elect, is not
known.

the Result Of last Nights Sport
Last night, while number of coasters
were enjoying themselves on Seventh
street hill, between Jefferson and Madi-
son, collision occurred at Madison street
between two large sleds, by which one OF
them was dashed up against the curb
stone. Washington B. Dawson, who was
steersman of this sled was thrown against
an awning post with such force that all
three of the bones of his right leg were
broken Just above the ankle. He was
taken to his residence, No. 4O5 w. Fifth
street, where DIR. Grimshaw reduced the
fracture and furnished the necessary at
tention. Mr.. Dawson's condition Is not
regarded as critical, but his sutferings are
very severe. II,
AS Mr.. Pierce Gould, butcher was driv-
ing a COW down Tatnall ST., last night, he
was run into by sled coming down
Fourth street, which knocked him down
and cut his head severely: The COW be-
came quite infuriated and charged upon
the gathered crowd, making the boys
scatter.
Later in the evening, on this hill, boy
ran too close to horse which stepped
| on his hand and mashed it severely.

A PLEASANT EVENING AT THE WESLEYAN
HOW THE MEMBERS OF THE BROWN
ING SOCIETY ENTERTAINED THEIR
FRIENDS.
In response to invitations, a large audi
ence assembled in the oratory of the
Wesleyan Female College, last night to
ing Literary Society.
The decorations on this occasion, were
unusually fine. On each side of the plat
form was an arch of evergreens and
autumn leaves, under which were large
and beautiful bouquets of choice flowers.
The recess in the rear of the platform
was spanned by double arch from which
pended an anchor of brilliant gasjets

the various exercises, which opened with
a chorus by the glee class, and prayer by
the Rev. John Wilson.
The Secretary's report, by Miss L. b.
Purnell, of Snow Hill, Md, showed the
Society, though very young institution
organized in the fall of 1872, to be in a
prosperous condition, and possessing a
fine library. The report alluded in fitting
| terms to the death of a loved and valued
member of the Society-Miss Sadie
Smithers, of Dover, which occurred in
February, 1875.
The Rotations We're particularly fine,
and were delivered with the force and
expression adapted to each selection.
They were: "The Quaker Widow" by
Miss Hattie X. Sparks, Wilmington;
"Meditations in Church." by Miss Anna
NJ. Metz, Wilmington; "The Painter of
Seville, by Miss Annie s. Stokes, Will
The "Browning Monthly" was read by
the Editress, Miss II. May Emory, of
Lisbon, n. FL. 1t contained several essays
| original poems, pointed conundrums
and sparkling bon nlots, all of which were
listened to with evident pleasure and ap-
probation by the audience,
Mr.. G. B. Rhoads sang "The Winter
! Wind, h" in his best style, and was loudly
I applauded.
| A drama "The Spinning Wheel and the
| Piano" was pleasant little comparison
of the manner in which youdg ladies
spend their leisure hours now, and the
way they were passed one hundred years
ago. 1t was spirltedly conducted by
Misses Cordelia McDermott, Ella Riley
Maggie j. Harrigan, Lizzie Maris, Eve
lyn Emory, Phoebe Almond, and Lola
| Robinson.
Essay, "History of Many" by Miss
Carrie f. r. Smith, Wilmington, was
caustic allusion to the many follies anC
| fol bles of the people of to-day.
The musical selections were given witt
excellent spirit and effect, and were al
faultlessly executed. They were: Instru
mental solo, "Moonlight on the Hudson
by Miss Lola Deli. Robinson, Whining
ton; Vocal trio, "The Angels Serenade,
by Misses Purnell, Maris and Emory
instrumental solo, "Quatrieme Valse dl
Salon." Miss Florence S. Hoffecker, Viii
mington; instrumental trio. "Marth;
Fantasia" Misses Almond, NJ. Emor.

and "The Days of Youth and Gladness,

with few remarks.
The whole affair was admirably arrans

THE MAILS. Postmaster Pyle's ar
rancements to secure mails to and from
Philadelphia and Baltimore on the hoon
express trains are likely to fall through,
on account of failure the railroad Off
cials to cooperate with him. Not only
were his lock pouches for Philadelphia
and Baltimore refused, yesterday, but six
pouches of New York mail, received at
baltimore, were put of, to be forwarded
by the regular New York mail at 5;40p;
m. The mails a. noon are so bulky, and
crowd the express matter so much, that
it is probable that all mail service on the
noon express trains will be discontinued,
and people around here forced to accom-
modate themselves to one mail per day to

or it will terminate in that dreadful dis
ease, consumption. We are aware that
n prejudice exists among many persons
against medicines which profess to cure
a cough or cold when bordering on con-
sumption, or even when the lungs are
effected; but we can assure our readers
that WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHER

assertion we speak from experience
having suffered for months from cough
which, after using many remedies with
out any relief, threathened to terminate
