Castle confirms the sale, some time in
November. He paid, however, part of the
purchase money, Isl, ,l50) on the day of sale
The Sheriff sold the land and all its i'm
provements, heredtaments, &c. Now,
should the court confirm the sale, and Mr.
Spear take the farm he will be required to
pay for what he does not get. Should he
decline to take the farm, however, as he
has the right to do, then he loses the part
of the purchase money he has already paid.
The property is not worth as much by
$4,000 as when Mr.. Spear bought it. The
fire occurred when Mr.. Vandegrift was tho
lawful owner, and if there had been any
insurance he would have been entitled to
it. So we are assured. The farm has been
sold by the Sheriff twice before, but Mr..
VS. counsel upset the sales; now, at the
third sale, tho plaintiff will not object, and
the defendent, Mr.. Spear, need not. The
only thing for him to do is to decline the
purchase and forfeit $l,l5O to the court.
TO add further to the complication, Mr.. S.
has liens against the property amounting
to about $4,000, we believe. Mr.. SIS
father formerly owned the land and Mr..
Vandegrift bought it after the war for about
$21, 900.

10th instant, deem it our duty to publish
that that Convention decla, cd its definite
policy to be Local Option, and we consider
that all persons acting in said Convention
were in good faith bound by the policy
agreed to, and that the Convention is not
only free from any responsibility for the
nomination of candidate for Congress,
but tacitly agreed not to interfere in party
politics.
JOHN B. QUIGG, Prest
F. ISRAELI Secretary, PRO tenn.
But, in addition to this board of control,
there is also an executive committee, and
the two bodies are at loggerheads. While
the board cf control favor local option, the
executive committee stick to the ticket,
and insist upon making temperance a
political issue. The members of this COM
mittee who were also members of the board
Of control have nearly all resigned from
the latter. 1t is this set that seem to be
intractable. How they can promote the
cause of temperance by throwing away
their Congressional votes is known only to
them, if they really know it. This great
cause is too vital to be subjected to such
folly as these intractables seem disposed to
nut upon it.

A NOTICE in another column from Chas.
H. Register, Levy Court Commissioner for
this Hundred, is important to those owning
railroad stock. Such stock was assessed in
this Hundred, under the State assessment
act, while i'll Dover Hid. it was not. There
is a question as to whether such assessment
is legal, and the weight of opinion seems to
be that it is not. If not, Mr.. Register
thinks he can save our railroad-stock
holders from one to two hundred dollars.
He wishes to meet and consult with the
holders of such stock.

LAST week, when we went to press, it
seemed as though the State elections of
last Tuesday had all gone in favor of the
Democrats. But late returns put better
face on the matter for the Republicans.
Ohio, instead of going Democratic, as we
supposed then, the Republicans carried by
from 5000 to 5000 majority This is an
increase of :, 1000 or 1000 over the Republi-
can majority of last year. Besides this,
they gain five Congressman. Indiana went
Democratic, as was supposed, but not as
much Democratic as the Democrats desired.
Their majority is from 5000 to 5,400,
against 1900 last year. Thus, the Repub-
licans gained nearly 10000 votes off OF
them and four Congressman. And while
the Democrats succeeded in electing the
Governor and other State officers, the Re-
publicans captured the Legislature, electins
a majority in both branches. The Legisla
ture elected last year had 42 majority
against the Republicans, on joint ballot
the next one will have from to 10 Repub
lican majority, CHASING all the Indepen
dent members as Democrats. Indiana is 8
Democratic State, that party having carried
every State election held there since 1866
with but one xception-lS6S-whe the
Republicans carried it by less than 1,OOC
majority. The result in the two grea
October States" then is as follows: The Re
publicans carry their entire ticket in Ohio
by an increased majority, and gain five
Congressman from the Democrats; they
also elect majority of the Legislature and
majority of the Congressmen in Indiana
while the Democrats elect the State tickle
by reduced majority of II 600 and over
In the two States the Democrats lose min
members of Congress. Yet the Democrats
like the Republicans, say they are satisfied
As to which has the greater cause for salts
faction, we leave our readers to judge.

"SAvE Ne FROM Ny FRIENDs"-It seems
to us this is what the temperance cause
would say to the bakers dozen of noisy
"rsformers that have acted so farcical in
Wilmington on two or three occasions re-
Gently. The labor for the moral elevation
of mankind is one thing; but to labor in
such a manner as to bring the cause and
the laborers into ridicule is quite another
thing. And it is this other thing that the
Temperance reformers have done. They
started on a plan that had neither FEAST
bility or hope in it. Hence, when they
met they found themselves without follow
ers and their organization without system.
OF the forty ministers and over in the city
of Wilmington, not half dozen gave the
meetings any countenance, and majority
of those who did did so with the hope that
they could infuse little discretion into an
indiscreet convention. Nor did the large
number of temperance laymen give any
more countenance to the affair than did
the clergymen.
In the first convention, held on the 28th
ult., the plan was to nominate temper
snce ticket-a temperance Congressman.
As temperance tickets have never accom-
plished anything except to make the tenn
perance element appear to disadvantage in
the ballot box, some of the better advised
members of the body resolved to defeat the
plan and turn the current of events into
another channel. At once tho Invention
found itself at cross purposes with itself
and rushed into confusion worse confoun

A ticket that was put before the excited

display they had already made, anothe
convention was called for the 10th inst
This, too, was held, and with even less O
satisfaction to the holders than the frs
one. The first convention thought it ha,
nominated ticket, but found it had not

RICHARD HARRINGToN.-O evidence
has since been obtained bearing on Har-

Babcock case; but the witnesses were
themselves tainted with completely in that
scandalous affair, and their evidence had
little weight against Babcock. Harrington,

he would hardly have surrendered himself.

there is second indictment pending
against Harrington, which charges him with
receiving fifteen thousand dollars from

CAsTIEG BREAD UPON THE WATERs.--
Early yesterday Tuesday morning, while it

in-law, an old gentleman, drove his bread
wagon too close to the edge of the canal be-
low tho lock, at the canal bridge in the lower
end of New Hope, and was precipitated into

err at the bridge, cautioned the old gentleman
against attempting the passage of the narrow
tow-path in the dark, but he thought he could

The water was drawn from the "level" and
the horse and wagon gotten out without any
very serious difficulty--or injury to either
We have not been informed as to whether the
