A Tilt BETWEEN BAYARD AND NORTON
In the U. S. Senate, one day last week, the
Senators got to debating about Louisiana.
Nobody explicitly denied that there pre-
vailed in many parts of the State frightful
condition of lawlessness, or that the victims
of manifold crimes were Republican negroes
and the perpetrators white Democrats. At
one stage Of the debate Mr.. Bayard admit
ted the existence of deploraLle state of
affairs in certain parishes, but laid the blame
upon the bad government of Kellogg, which
he said the people regarded as u>urpution.
Mr.. Morton took courage from this couics
sion. and from the stronger admissions in
the report of the committee, to hope that
some progress had been made toward ar
resting the evils which infict Louisiana.
He said the difficulty had been heretofore
that the Democrats denied the existence of
outrages and intimidations, and now that
they have begun to concede the truth
OF what Republicans have been charging for
years there is prospect of better state OF
things. Mr.. Thurman rather Indignantly
refused to be put in position of acknowl
edging the prevalence of political intimida

The Presidential Muddle.

Repor, qf Wednesday, l3h.-A number of
Democrats met in Indiana and issued call
for mass meetings in all parts of the State.
The existence of war spirit was reported.
Gov. Hendricks was present, but gave no
opinion. Abram S. Hewitt, Chairman OF
the National Democratic Committee, issues
an address assuming Tilden's election.
Zachariah Chandler, Chairman of the
National Republican Committee, issues an
address, in reply, declaring Hayes election.
The Southern investigations make slow
progress. The Committee sent by Congress
to Louisiana have called for certain cam
paign kilograms of Secretary Chandler.
The Union League of America has taken
action in regard to the campaign, but its
nature is not disclosed.
Tuesday, l4h.-The Senate at Washington
spent the day in a debate on the Louisiana
election. A message was received from
the President on the stationing of troops al
Petersburg, in which he emphasized an
ironical remark by italicizing it. The House
refused to listen to plans for a joint com
promise on the Presidency. The indica
| tiOns are that the House will not listen tC
any compromise.
Friday.-A large joint committee of Con
gress was appointed to agree on a scttlemen

The House was the scene of heated debat
on the Louisiana election. Sharp hits wer

Why SHOULDN'T WE Do LIKEwIsE?-A
little item elsewhere in to-day's issue states
that in Minnesota the farmers are going to
quit shipping wheat, but are having 1t
ground and are shipping the flour instead.
Why shouldn't Delaware do the same, and
thus derive two advantages from the crop
instead of one-have the revenue of man.
ufacture as we'll as of growth. What is to
hinder the section that grows the grain
from manufacturing the flour, and doing it
as profitahly as it is done in the large
cities? The Brandywine Mills are good as
far as they 20 in solving this question, but
they stop far short of the point we ought to
reach. The cities started in the canned
fruit business, at first, but the growers saw
the point in time, and now nearly all the
Delaware peaches that are manufactured
into canned goods are worked up right
here on the spot were the fruit is grown.
Why shouldn't the manufacture 60 with
the growth in other things as well as
peaches? The want Of sufficient capital is
the only valid excuse, hut it seems to us
that the people of Delaware could obtain
capital as easily as other people if they
tried.
This milling business is only plain
instance of others that could be named, il
which we should manufacture our products
as we'll as produce them. True, there i

Miss Lydia Priscilla Sellon, one of the
earliest promoters Of sisterhoods in the
Church Of England, died fortnight ago.
1t is about 80 years since she undertook the
work now associated with such institutions
namely, nursing the sick and organizing
schools for poor and destitute children.
Her first sphere of operations was Plymouth
and the towns united with it, her attention
having been called to that locality by the
Bishop OF Exeter. Miss Sellon, with her
fathers consent, at once devoted herself
and her fortune to the work. In visiting
by day and by night the povertystricke en-
and lawless dens which there abounded,
she soon found it necessary, both for her
own protection and that of other ladies
who subsequently joined her, to assume a
distinguishing black dress, which was sane
toned by the Bishop. The three towns OF
Davenport, Stonehouse, and Plymouth were
rapidly brought under a system of district
visiting, and schools, orphanages, training
college for sailor boys, old mems home, and
refugees were established, ,,and subsequently q
penitentiary.

THE ALLENTOWN DUMPLING MATCH.--The
Allentown (Pa.) Chronicle says: IA few
nights ago an apple dumpling party was
given at a house on Liberty street, between
Fourth and Fifth. There were about forty
persons present and two hundred and fifty
dumplings, of large size, prepared and
cooked. While the merits of the meal
were being discussed by the eaters, the
question as to who could eat the most
dumglings was brought up, and contest
was entered into between Bonneville Geary
and Billy Fritz Geary is by far the bigger
man, but Fritz is by all odds tho bigger hog,
having eaten enty-four-somes say twenty
six-dumplings to Geary's eighteen. Fritz
was quite sick for short time, but has sig.
nfied his intention of entering another
eating contest in few evenings, when a
sauer kraut party will be given on Eleventh
street. A straw hat is offered as premium
for the man (?) who will eat the most of this
strong dish, and Fritz Is reasonably sure OF
winning the hat.

TIMES ARN'T WHAT They USED TO BE-
Just let somebody prove defaulter, or
steal money, or something Of the kind and
right away some such expression as this
greets you at every turn, You don't know
who to trust nowadays" How often has |
this expression been used since poor |
Woodalrs case came to light? There are
always a class of people looking on the |
dark side, and are glad of a pretext to dis |
parage public morals as they find them and
put them in an unfavorable contrast with
the morals of the old times, just as though
the old times people had all the honesty
and bequeathed all the rascality to their
children. This thing has been so per
sistantly harped upon that not few persons
really believe it they really think SO from
jumping at conclusions that pop up before
them, without even trying to look beneath
the surface. They are always ready to say,
"You didn't used to hear of so much
deviltry.'' No; but that is the true resolu-
ton Of the whole matter-we didn't hear OF
. it. The old times folks hadn't two thou
sand newspapers and thousands of lines Of
telegraph to scatter such intelligence to an
eager world. But more fragrant rascality
existed then than now, in proportion to the
population, and the guilty parties got away
with it more easily. 1t is time such foolish

The approaching abolition of capital pun
ishment in Italy will help the advocates Of
that measure everywhere. In France, NJ.
Louis Blanc and Al other Deputies have
submitted bill to the same effect. They
assign the following reasons for abollshing
the guillotine: "That the right to inflict an
irreparable punishment implies an infalible
judge; that to inflict death is bad way on
the part of society of inculcating respect
for life, and, consequently, of arresting the
arm of the murderer; that the spectacle of
the blood shed by the executioner hardens
perverse hearts, and is an obstacle to that
refinement of manners which should be the
result and is the sign of an advanced civiliza-
tion that the punishment of death has
been condemned by the greatest criminal
lawyers; that the countries where it is abol-
ished have only had to congratulate them
selves on its abolition that the punishment
of death, in word, produces effects in every
way contrary to those expected by its
partisans."

THE articles about Farming in Della

ago, moved on it and went to work, and
now he has one of the best-paying farms
around Dover. Therefore, whatever advan-
tage practice has over mere theory is the
advantage the writer has to go upon in

An UGLY SHOOTING AFFAIR.-A shooting
affair of decidedly wicked aspect took
place near this town last Wednesday night,
in which Geo. w. Moore, son of Jas. Moore,
living on Dr. Cummins' farm near Logan's
Mill, received a severe bullet wound in the
thigh. Moore, with some other youths,
were passing along the road to Bethel
Church, and two negro men, Jim. Bennett,
or Bayard, as he is sometimes called, and
Ben. Thomas met them. The boys and
the negroes got to handying words about
something, and finally the negroes, pre-
tending to be enraged, discharged their
pistols, with the above result. 1t is also
stated that two sons of Mr.. Barcus at the
mill, had their clothing pierced with
bullets. The boys, who were going to
singing school, we believe, were unarmcd
and had no anticipation of any trouble.
The general impression seems to be that it
was n pure piece of "cussedness " on the
part of the negroes, who are regarded as
desperate men by those of their own color,
among whom they have been terrorizing foI
some time, at religious meetings, and else
! where. They made no effort to escape, but

the ball is still imbedded in his flesh.

We were exposed last week to pitiless
storm, that wet our feet and stockings, and
indeed our person all over. In fact we
took a cracking cold, which brought sore

blankets, and sent our faithful son for a
bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. 1t is a

The SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS IN CONGREss.-
The discreet behavior of Southern Demo
Gratis in Congress, as contrasted with the in
temperate language held by some Of their
Northern allies, has already attracted public
attention and received the commendation
of all law-abiding and pcace-loving citizens.
The Southern democrats have preserved
their equanimity during the discussion, to
this point at least Indeed, they seem to
be looking on the exhibition of passionate
zeal by their Northern associates in a won
dering way, with something between curl
osity and contempt. There was a time
say sixteen years ago this Winter-when
Southern Democrats might have been i'm
pressed with such talk as they have been
listening to in caucuses and committees for
a few weeks from the eminent persons who
say, with clinched fists and set teeth, that
they will not submit to the Inauguration of
Gov. Hayes, but will rise up and rally and
swoop down and all that. But among the
things they have learned at the South since
1860 is this thatwhen the Northern Democ-
racy takes a fighting attitude it is merely
for the purpose Of photography. Mr.. Fer
nando Wood, esen, is not so impressive now
as he was when ho offered the South his
sympathy and cooperation in 1861, and
talked somewhat largely about setting ur
an independent government for the City
of New York, of which he was then Mayor
Talk is very cheap. The Southern Demo
Gratis have found that out; and it is no les:
creditable to their discernment that they
take it for what it is worth than honorable

suggestions of violence and revolution anC

WHAT GRANT SAYs,-I'he Washington
correspondent of the n. y. Tribune writes :
"Whooever is formally declared by the
President of the Senate to have been elected
will be recognized by Gen. Grant. To that
person will he surrender the reins of
authority. 1t is not his desire to
force upon the people any particular
person, but he will see that the person de-
cared to be elected as his successors placed
in possession of the Government. He is
not the Judge of the election when the
question is determined his duty will be
plain. Gen. Grant said that before and
since the election he had used his execu-
tive power only for the enforcement of the
laws and the preservation of peace, and
such an exercise of the powers conferred
upon him he will continue until the last
moment of his responsibility. lie does moi
think that a Government which has with
stood the shock of nearly four years battle
will now fail before the clamor of mob"
