THE COMMITTEE ON RULES.

We notice that the Committe on Rules
have again, laid the train b defeat the
wishes of the people of this county, by de-
nying to them the right to choose the men,
bers of the Legislature and Levy court COM
missioners by ballot. This was the soul Of
the resolution passed at the county meet
ing, and it is a plain manifest denial Of
popular right to refuse to send the amend
ment of Mr.. Biggs. to the people to vote
upon. 1t is the same game again played over
again as that of two years ago. The peo-
ask that the question be submittad to them,
but it seems that popular suffrage, within
the party is privilege forbidden to the
people. If there are any reasons against
trusting the people say so. The scheme Of
making three Senatorial districts, is de-
NAL to the people OF the Hundred, whose
customary right of having Senator, OF
Representative as heretofore.

THE ESERVO1R.

1t is curious complexion of public af-
fairs, and one not creditable, to our party,
that the Governor fears to assemble the
Legislature, SO as to permit the citizens Of
Wilmington to assess their own property
to complete a necessary public work, with
out the dread of raid upon the public
treasury by the citizens of Sussex. We
have great faith in the honor of our South
ern friends, and if they give us their
words, we may rely upon them. Would it
not be worth while to address circular
to each member of the Legislature, asking
simple promise not to introduce or act
upon any matter but that for which the
Legislature would be convened. The ne
cessity of completing the work on the res
ervoir is apparent, the time opportune, and
the saving of a great public improvement
from ruin is matter Of vital importance
to our citizens. An hours work will
place the proper committee of Council in
connection with every member Of the Leg
islature, and their replies may take away
the Governors reason for inaction. Write
by all means.

tice in ireland, "it is delusion, a nockery,
and a snare.' To all this Republican
citizen will answer. How do | know that
the Democratic party, if in power viii do
better. Experience is the father Of Wis
dem," saith the Spanish proverb. What
saith this parent of wisdom? In tine En-
pire State of New York, with its enor-
nous wealth, and for reaching power, a
Democratic administration under Tilden
has compelled the mightiest conspiracy OF
civilized history, to bow before the majes-
ty of the law. Every public plunderer in
tie State is either convicted felon, or a
forelorn fugitive. We ask examination OF
our State as model of honesty, the State
government not costing more. than Bel
knap bribe,a Babcock swindle, or Shep-
herd steal. Minimum taxation, and max
imum protection for life and property, is a
sententious description Of the results OF
generation of Democratic rule. We give
an example of the least, and greatest Of
States as evidence of the value of Demo
cratic control.

THE STREET DESTRUCTION

The police are as remiss, as ever in not
enforcing The city ordinances, relative TO
the obstruction Of the streets. The viola
ion is open, notolious,ana persistent, both
in the sales Of wares prohibited by the
ordinances of Council, and in squatting
upon the streets, and sidewalks, and the
police refuse to perform their duty. The
taxpayers sweat under heavy burden, to
pay the police, and surely are entitled to
ask that the law be carried out.

Curious Scene at NapOleOn's Funeral

The very interesting series of articles,
entitled Napoleon at St. Helena" by one
of the Emperor's attendents, viii i,h have
been appearing in the St. James Magazine,
have now come to an end with the death of
the Emperor. Francis Stewart, the nara;
tor, gives curious account Of a scenewhich
took place at the funeral of Napoleon: W
had in my hands Napoleon's heart, which
he desired Marshal Bertram to have en-
harmed, placed in a silver vase, and sent
to his son, Napoleon II. The hear. was
unusually large and very lat ; and before it
was soderedup all the French servants, by
their own request, saw it, some of them
kissed it, and falling on their knees offered
up a prayer l, wishing 10 do as they did,
fell on my knees too, which seemed to
crafty them, but of course, as did not
understand what they were praying for, |
said no prayer, neither had l sufficient
stomach TO kiss the heart although Napo-
leon had been kind master and a kind
friend to me. SirThomas Reade and Sir
Hudson Lowe having seen Inc on nay
knees; the latter said; when came out,
so, Mr.. Stewart, you have been praying
too. did not know yon were Papist.'
Sir Thomas Eeade said, with sneer,
Have you been praying to the devil to
take his heart as we'll as his body 2 NO,
sir, replied, there will he no occasion for
any praying to the deyilto take your body
and heart, because he has had them ever
since knew you'' Such conduct on The
part of officials toward dead enemy GER
tain!y well merited the sharp reply of
Stewart, and seemed to justify the intense
feelings against The guardians of Napoleon
which is experienced by Frcnchman The
story is a most extraordinary one, and
deserves investigation"

THE ROSS CASE.

Another story About the stolen Boy
He 10 Declared Alive and Well
the Informant Probably Nom Conn
pos Mentis.
From the .hila Evening Telegraph
On Wednesday last a mulatto was seen
in the vicinity of Mr.. Christian X. Ross
former store on Market street, inquiring
where that gentleman couli be fonnd. He
stated he wished to find him, that he might
give him clue to-the Whereabouts of his
abducted boy, Charles Brewster Ross, and
assist to recover him. The man was taken
to the Ross family and to the police, and
yesterday afternoon an interview was had
with him.
He says his name is George, and that he
was born and raised in Utica, New York.
He is tall, powerfully built, about twenty,
eight or thirty years of age, with complex
ion very light, even for nlulatto and Keen,
dark eyes.
He says that he was the cook cf gang
of thieves which was branch of the gen
eral organization of which Mosher and
Douglass were the leaders. The latter were
with "Division No. l." which had its quar-
ters here in the Northeast, and he was with
"DiVision No. g." which located and opera
ted in the South and West. Charlie Ross
was stolen on the LIST OF July, and
three days Afterwards he was in
the custody of division No.
2,". then at point near Columbus,
Ohio. George says that Charlie was turn.
ed over to his care, and the thing he was
ordered to do was to clip the curls from
Charles head; that he did SO, and another
man then went over the work again, and
cut the child's hair very close into the
scalp. The party with the child in their
possession soon moved South, and for nine
months constantly shifted their headquar-
ters, but kept South all the time.
When asked if he knew that there was a
reward offered for the recovery ofthe stolen
boy, he answered that he knew it the day
after the reward was offered, but he had
too much regard for the safety of his life to
attempt before this time to disclose any in
formation in his possession. He asserts that
saw the child alive and we'll within five
weeks, and that, within a week, If the ia
cilities that he asks are afforded him, he
will recover the long lost boy, safe and
we'll.
George says plainly that he is after the
reward, which he would have moved after
sooner had he dared He claims that he had
no hand in the abduction, and that he never
did any crooked work with the gang.
The impression made upon Chief of Po-
lice Jones and Captain Helms is that the
man is "crank," and Detectiye Tryon,
who talked with him, said his conversation
was like that of an insane man. Another
interview will be held this afternoon.

A Heavy Robbery.

The following details of robbery of 49,
600 france, which took place not long since
in Turin, Italy, have been made public.
This sum was deposited in the treasury of

tended for the payments at the end of the
month. The Office was closed at II on
Saturday morning, asd was not to be open
ed again until the following one but in the
interval the thief had managed to gain ad-

A FEW FACTS FOR ECONOMISTS

Potstoes, Leef, coffee, sugar, everything
that enters into the meals furnished to n
prisoner, are now at least fifty per cent.
cheaper than were they between 1860 and
1874. Who denies that? The cost of
lodging prisoners has not risen upon the
sheriff. Attendance, cooking, &c. is quite
as cheap now as then, at least 10 the sher-
if. We await an answer from the sheriff
of this county, why he claims the same
price per diem for food as the sheritis
received, WHO paid fifty per ent. more for
food. lax payers are patient, but
when aroused cut up some queer didos at
times.

MANY enquiries having been made why
we did not publish the revised rules Of
