Billings has thought it proper to inter-

ring again. Has accordingly consented
to the proposition of certain gentlemen
representing the Democratic State Cen

number Of United States Commission

the election, for almost every portion of
the State. All persons in the country

can go before the Commissioner living

on bail, if the charge made against him
is bailable, and this without ii prelimi-

All persons threatened with arrest
in the country should take notice OF
this, and of the different places where
these commissioners are appointed.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION,
Impossibiiity of Reaching the Open
Polar Sea.

LONDON, Oct. GA narrative oi
the Arctic Expedition is published. Ii
relates that after the first cncountcrin.
of ice the expedition was detained seve-
raj days in Port Payer. 1t started
thence on August s, but before rcaci,i,,.
the shore of Grinnei Land the vessels
were caught in an ice pack.
After this their progress northWard
WAS an inccss;,nt struggle through
chance openings made in the ice by
wind and current, the channel through
which the ships moved constantly clos
ing behind them. The Discovery Win
tered in il well sheltered harbor on thu.
west side of Hall's Basin, II few miles;
north of Polaris Bay.
The Alert pushed forward and round
ed the northeast point of Grants Land,
but instead of finding, as expected, Il
continuous coast II hundred miles TO-
ward the coast, she found herself on the
border of an extensive sea, with i'm
pcnetrablc ice on every side and no
harbor. The ship wintercd behind :,
barrier of grounded ice, close to land.
The floating masscs of thick polarir..
had in melting pressed UP the MASSES,
OF intermediate ice into blocks fire.
quently II mile i'll diameter, and vary
ing in height from ten to fifty feet
Obstacles of this kind destroyed all
hope of reaching the Pole by sled.c,.
Before the attempt was made the
sledgc party was obliged 10 make u,
road with pick axes nearly half the dis
t;,ncej it Travelled, as it WAS always nee
essary to drag the slcclSe loads by iu-
stallncnts. The party really tr;,versuu
PIG miles, although it only progressed
ninety-three. All the cairns erected
by the Polaris Expedition were visible
at the boat depot in Ncwnan's Bay.A
thermometer was found in perfect
order. Wheat left by the Polaris was
successfully grown aboard the ship.

"In my opinion no earnest efforts
will be made by the civil authorities to
investigate the matter and apprehend
the murderers. The Judge of the State

man, DESTROYS OF adopting his course to
the changing political condition of the
State and his Judicial District"
will say to the people of this portion
of the State, who have known nc
nearly all my life, that the above is
false and slanderous. II is wholly gra-
tuitous on the part of this army subur-
dinate Gan entire stranger to nle) cloth
in Il little brief authority, to leave his
legitimate sphere of duty to criticise,
not my actions, but my character. His
line of duty and responsibility is dis
tinct from mine, and I deny his rigli,
of surveillance, and his right to report
what the to,lies around him say of me-
dismiss his attack on me by repeating
that it is false, slanderous and wholly
grltuitous, and merits the notice only
Of his superior officer, who am conf.
dent is well posted ON the army regul;,-
tons governing the conduct of United
States officers. Yours truly,

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC PRO.
CESSEON.

Late last night the streets Of the city
were thronged with people as they
have never been before except ut the
celebration of the Centennial of the
Nation on the Fourth of July last. The
glare of fireworks Illuminated Union
and Madison squares and the streets in
the neighborhood, while up Fifth ave-
nue. ,alongThirty-fo street and down
Third avenue there poured a river of
lire, undulating slowly between rows OF
buildings, like Il phosphoresccnt stream
between its banks. The central part OF
the city was i'll Il triunlphai blaze. 1t
is probable that SO many torches were
never before seen together; and the
very magnitude OF the procession made
it impossible to take i'll it's grandeur nj
Il single glance from any point. The
parade was the browning exhibition of
the campaign, and neither here nor
elsewhere will anything approaching it
in numbers or enthusiasm be seen. The
leaders of the Democratic hosts might
we'll feel their hearts glow with pride
and confidence as they saw leagues of
torches pass in review. If it be per-
mitteta to augnr political results from u
political pageant, then New York will
give such 4 majority for Tiittcu. rs
she has never before cast in any cause
or for any candidate; for such Il mon
ster meeting never before took place on
this continent. Fifty Thousand of the
rank and file Of the Democracy moved
before their chief, and since the
armies of the Union We're Clisbanded
after their last triumphal parade. no
other leader has looked down upon such
Il body of men. To the whole onion

No, the TINES didn't say that. What

guilty of piece of underhandedness that
is even meaner that lying, if possible. The

we believe, to appoint him to one OF the

changing upon Princes favors," like other
officessekers, and in his anxiety to do his

Hope is again revived in the Charley
Ross case. How many clues have been sue
cessfully followed and abandoned in this
celebrated case it would be almost impos-
sible to say, but new one now engaging
attention gives better prospect of success
than anything that has happened in the
affair since the deaths of Moshsr and
Douglass. The facts are, briefly, these. A
man giving the name of Samuel Benners
induced a colored man named Parker, to
aid him in forgery committed in Harris
burg three or four years ago. These men
assumed various aliases but it is enough for
the present purpose to designate them as
above. Benners was successful at his end
of the line in the forgery, but Parker was
| tried and convicted and served a term of
three years in prison. While in Jail he re.
ceived a number of letters from Benners,
written apparently to conciliate his pal, it
appearing that Parker had been got into
trouble, or at least had not been properly
shielded, through Benners' fault. Parker
made the claim that restitution should be
made him for his Imprisonment, to the
amount of the forged notes-$350, and the
letters were conciliatory and devoted main
ly to showing that Benners now had good
job on hand and that Parker, when he got
OUT Oh DTlSOn SuOUlu AOb SuueTs DuL hllcl
serving his term he followed Benners up in
a vain attempt to get the money. The
whole case has not yet been published, bu
the reasonable exposition from what il
known is that Parker has in revenge giver
the present information to the authorities
The evidence against the kidnappers,
they should prove to be so, is in the letter
referred to, and others of the same natur
received by Parker after his release from
prison. In these documents Benners, Will
not mentioning Charley Ross by name
speaks of &C. r." of "the boyh and of
"jewel" which he values at differen
prices in varying places, from $500 to $4,000
, He also speaks freely of Mosher and Doug
lass and Of Wsstsrvelt, saying there is n
,, fear of the latter, for though under ser
tencs of ten years he (Westervelt) woul

If any believer in sound currency and
honest financial legislation is hesitating
whether he ought to vote for Hayes or for
Tilden he may find enlightenment in a
recent article in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The editor of that Democratic paper tells
the inAationists that they are an "indepen
dent, unselfsh, noble" set of men, but
that they are merely throwing their ballots
away for Cooper and Cary. He then
defines the financial attitude of the Repub
lcan and Democratic parties in this way
"The Independents (inAationists) can
vote for Hayes and Wheeler and the Re
publican party, and thus vote against every
principle they hold dear. They can vote
for the Democratic ticket, for the Demo
cratic party, which alone offers them g
pathway toward the goal of their desires
The promise of the Democratic party is no
all that the Independents desire, but tn,
party platform and the party tendency ar
in the direction of their desires. The Re
publican party is committed to forced re
sumption on the first day of January, 1875
and the Democratic party is committee

ANOTHER TROUBLE FOR THE BOMBAY Hook
r. R.-The damages awarded to the
Whortenby lands at Clayton when the
Bombay Hook railroad was built, five years
ago, about 81 900, has never been paid, and
it is now understood that Senator Bayard,
Whortenby's counsel, has instructions to
tear up the portion Of the track running
through said lands if the damages are not
paid within a short time. Should such a
result follow it would sever the connection
of the Kent County r. R. with the Del.
road at Clayton, on the west, and also cut
off the line to the Bay, on the east, now
used at irregular intervals, as far as Roth
wells, in shipping phosphate for j. E.
| Tygsrt & Co. 1t is understood that Jay
Gould has spent his last dime on the road,
and if SO we don't know where the money
is to come from, unless Fred. Geyker foots
the bill.
1t is further stated that Mr. IWhortenby
now on from California visiting the Centen
NAL, is to come to Clayton very shortly and
examine his possessions, with a view o
making some improvements, including {
new hotel. But it would hardly be policy
to erect hotel and then cut the railroad
connection that does SO much to feed it.
Smyrna times., 1876-11-01

For quiet campaign this one, so far as
Delaware is concerned, caps the climax.
There has been some activity in New
Castle county, but it has proved very tame
compared with former elections. A few
meetings have been held in the county,
out of Wilmington, but only few, and all
the usual display of bands and bunting,
professions and torches has been well nigh
dispensed with. Wilmington has had a
monopoly of such " fuss and feathers" such
as it has been. True, Sam. Townsend has
tried to stir up his village on several occa-
sions, but he was generally the only one
that made much noise.
In Kent and Sussex it has not even been
4" still hunt" it has been no hunt at all.
With the result as sure as the assessment
laws can make it, the Republicans know
it's no use, and consequently the Democrats
have nothing to fight. With 400 voters
left off the assessment lists in this county,
large majority of whom are colored men,
black Republicans" the Levy Court has
succeeded in making quiet campaign at
the expense of the county revenues.
More about this business, however, after
the election.
We cannot call to mind more than O
half dozen meetings in the whole county
either held or in prospective. The Demo
Gratis have held one in Milford and enc in
Dover, which were particularly insipid
with even Senator Bayard and others t.
season them, and others are to be held thi
week-at FELTON, and Frederica tomorrow
and in this town en- Saturday. With on
or two held in Milford by the Republicans
the list is about complete. IN 81 4.
Democrats have held few meetings il
the larger towns only, and Mr.. Bird ha
addressed two or three Republican crowds
but there has been no more Of a campaig
there than here. Such quietnsss, Will
agreeable and inexpensive, is also yer
deleterious to the vote sellers. The Leg
disfranchissment Of Republicans makes
resort to allegal processes by the dominar
party quite unnecessary-quit unnecessal
for either party. This much, at least, can
argued in favor of the partisan legislatiC
that governs us. 1t is pretty sure to NAL
quiet campaign and put the rights of q
minority at a disadvantage.
