Our DOVER BUDG EFT.
From our Special Correspondent
DOVER, March 10, 1870.

FROM our special COrrespondent.J
DOVER, March 10, 1870.
The impending political campaign has
been Informally opened around Dover Do
yer Hundred Is conceded to have the right
to the shsrifslty nomination on the Demo-
cratic ticket, and the ubiquitous candidate
for sheriff 10 abroad In the land. The can.
didatss, 90 far a. at present known, are
Titus h. Irons, James N. Kerbin, Il. E.
Collision, VIM. Dyer, George B. Dickson, all
of the town of Bower; VIM. G. Postles. in
East Dover Hundred, and Frank NJ. Dunn
and James R. Powell in West Dover Hun
dred. The nomination is also claimed by
Kenton Hundred, which puts forth .
crenic candidate for that Office, Benjamin
+. Blackiston. Az far a. the nomination 10
concerned, it 10 probable that Dover Hun
dred, with her large vote, will obtain It,
but who will be the candidate from tho
Hundred remains In doubt. Mr.. Irons, the
fret named candidate, had . large follow
ing In the last county convention. and
lacked but few votes Of being nominated
then, and has now large number Of frinds,
especially among the young and indspend-
snt voters, whose influence 70 always great
ly felt In this hundred. Mr.. Kerbin also
has large support, and 1t 10 probable that,
as far as Dover IL concerned, the contest
will be between him and Mr.. Irons. Mr..
Postlss belongs in what 10 called "The
Neck" region, and has bis suppsrt princi-
pally from the well-to-do farmers Of that
region. Of the other candidates, Mr.. Pow
eli is regarded as very strong, and likely to
give somebody trouble. The Office holding
mania also extends in other directions.
The collectorship under the oyster law
soen becomes vacant, and already candt-
dates are in the field, among them Jacob
G.. Lewis, OF Dover, who is making al &C.
tive canvass. The prothonotaryship for
this county also becomes vacant next fall,
and already candidates arc in the field.
The most prominent 90 far are John D.
Burton, Of Dover, and J. Frank Wilds, Of
Kenton.
Mrs. Bell, q venerable and well-known
lady of this town, is to be buried to-day.
She was upwards Of eighty-eight years of
age at the time of her death.
We have another changcin the weather
warmer, with wind and rain, and the signs
on the outskirts seem to indicate that st.
Patrick is getting ready for q grand on

Educational Anniversary.

The educational anniversary Of the Meth
odist Conference was held last evening In
the Union NJ. E. Church. Tie exercises
we're opened with prayer by Rev. L. Q.
Matlack, followed by an anthem from the
choir. Presiding Elder J. B. Quigg then In
troduced Rev. J. H. Caldwell, who proceeded
to deliver an address on education. He
spoke of the friendliness of Methodistism
from its very origin to education, and give
an extended review of the life and character
of the founder of Mcthodistism and the rise
of the sect In the old and new worlds, show
ing the difference between them, but dwelt
particularly upon its origin In America.
'sThere is no church In the country" con-
tinued the reverend gentleman, "that was
80 successfully engaged in the work of edu.
cation as the Methodist Church, nor one
that during the last twenty-five years has
done more for the advancement OF tho
cause.
The first conception Of Methodist
school In America was by John Dickens, who
is described as Gloomy Englishman, fond
of Latin and Greek, very pious but difhdent
of himself. His first school twas In North
Carolina In 1850. built by subscription and
while travelling in company with Francis
Asbury. And thus said the speaker the
first educational monument iu America had
it's Methodistic origin. In 1875 Cokesburg
College was built, but ten years after was
burned, and It was removed to Baltimore
only to share the same fate short while
afterward. Forty years elapsed before 9TH
crs were set on foot and these were
in different sections of the country.
They have all had q struggle,
but what has been done is told in q recent
Methodist publication: Universities and
colleges 81. with PIG instructors and COW
students; academies, female colleges, sem
insries and collegiate institutes SO, with 5O4
instructors and 14,100 students and the
grand total value OF all these institutions 10
nearly $4,000, 600, or one hundred times as
much as had been expended up to fifty years
ago.
The balance of the address was devoted
to the growth Of the educational interests
of the Church, and the advance Of the
Church. Those who heard 1t we're we'll
plelsed and much informed. A lack Of
space prevents US from further dwelling
upon it.
The next speaker was Rev. Mr.. Murray,
a graduate Of the Wilmington Conference
Academy, who also addressed the large au
diencc upon education, and the excellent
educational benefits 10 be derived from the
Conference Academy, and asked the con-
ference to sustain It.
The meeting was closed with the doxology
and benediction.

To THE CITY COUNCIL,

the Registrar of the Water Department,
for the fiscal year ending October, 1875, viz:
On the 4th of January. 1876, the Water
Committee, while considering the rate to be
charged, the Mccullough Iron Company
had occasion to refer to the Diamond State
Iron Company's bill, and upon examination
found NO record that they had paid the city
water rent for the year 1878, the result of
which was that the Chief Engineer was in
structed to wait on the Diamond State Iron
Company to ascertain whether or not the
amount due by them as shown by the as
sessment book had been paid, result
of which proved that they had on the 3Oth
of January, 1875, paid $50S, with this dis
crepaucy, and some other Irregularities

INDICTMENTS AGAINST LoTTERY-DEALERs
AND OTHERS grand jury of the Hus-
tipgs Court, Major John Fl. Claiborne FORE
man, Yesterday presented true bills against
the following parties connected with the
Southern Association for dealing in lottery.
tickets contrary to law Edgar NJ. Garnett,
commissioner William /. Dabney, manager
John Beattie. treasurer: c. w. Saunders,
T. c.. Epps, and D. +. Wise, ticket.sellers.
As the question whether or not the "rafiie /"
of the Southern Association is ''lottery "
within The meaning Of the law will be in-
VOWED in these cases, it is generally sup
posed that test will be made in one Instance.
The grand jury also indicted Andrew
J. Berry for the same offence. He.was, until
few months ago, an agent or ticket-seller OF
the Southern Association, but now conducts,
it is alleged. somewhat similar game OF
chance on bis own responsibility.
Mr.. John A. Worsham, the proprietor OF
the fashionable house corner OF Fourteenth
and Franklin streets, where Mr.. Fowe's
money was won from him by Judge Stevens,
was indicted for keeping Il laro-bank. In
this case Delegate Fowle gave to the grand
Jury important evidence. Judge George
Stevens, who was called as witness, de-
clined to testify, on the ground that by so
doing he might crminste himself. Mr..
Worsham several days ago closed up bis es-
tablishment and left the city. AS the indict-
ment will stand against him for several years,
1t is impossible for him to return without
incurring the risk of going to Jail for twelve
months, like Muller.
The case Of Delegate Fowle and Judge
Stevens, charged with unlawful gaming, was
before the grand jury. Mr.. Beckham was
present as a witness. Final action was not
taken, but probably will be next Wednesday,
when the grand jury meets again.
There is very prevalent opinion that the
grand jury means to indlct all the young
men of the city known to frequent faro
banks. There is, it is stated, no such inten.
tlon. The law officers mean, it is said, to
coniue their attentions at present to the
proprie,ors of houses, and to testing the
right Of "the Association for the Benefit oil
the Widows and Orphans OF the Southern
States" to conduct what is regarded by
many as lottery, but which the courts may
otherwise denominate.
