On the face oIlt THIS substitute seems
SO harmless that We are inclined IN
think il was voted down rather on ac-
count of doctrines which its authors
were known to hold, than for any
opinions actually expressed. 1t is
true that Mr.. Ewing grounded his OBJ
lection to the clause as offered by the
majority report, upon the fear lest
that clause might be interpreted as
meaning that resumption ought to be
earlier than January, 1879 but Mr..

According to Contract.

The nomination OF Mr.. Howard NJ. Jen-
kins, of the Commercial, !" seems to be re-
garded by his political enemies as fulfil
ment of q contract that lie should receive
the nomination. It was surrender to
harmony the same as occurred in the Dover
Convention, when the lower counties sur
rendered, and allowed the nomination OF
Mr.. Bird. If the calumet has been smoked,
and Mr.. Jenkins taken by the hand by the
old ring, it is only another funny way the
Republican party has of working things in

The Oyster Season.

The oyster season has noT eirly opened,
and at both wholesale and retail the savory
bivalve finds a ready purchase. A reporter
of the MORNING HERALD while trying a
feed on the half shell at Ainscnw's on Ship
ley street few nights since ascertained
that these coming to this market were
mostly from Maryland and Delaware
streams, and are of the best speciments
found in those waters, varying in price, &C.
cording to size and quality, from thirty to
fifty cents. It is happy gentlemen who
attend the club or lodges every
night, and effect an armistice in the
domestic circle, by few fried put up in
box, and strangely termed "Modocs."

For some time tho mention of the name
of Levi G. Bird, - the Congressional nomt-
nee Of the Republican party; has caused
that portion of the party, which does not
believe In the use of stimulants, to expert
ence degree Of restlessness which mani
tested itself yesterday IN the declaration Of
several of those attached to tho temperance
cause, that candidate would be nominated
to oppose Mr.. Bird, and run upon what
would be called the Republican Temperance
ticket, which ticket would be framed y
Dover, In Q convention, the date to be
named at day not far distant. Such ru-
NOR, of conrse, caused considerable specu-
lation among the supporters Of Mr.. Bird,
and for while some anxiety was felt in the
NATTER s. @Ns
The rumor having reached the ears of the
HERALD representative, he at once called
upon several prominent Republicans, and
was informed by them that such an attempt
would not be surprise to them, but 1t Was
sincerely to be hoped that nothing of the
sort would occur, as 1t would be wholly in
consistent with the doctrine Of the Repub-
llcaDS Wnlcn was 10 secure entlro harmony
in the ranks, as that was the only way IN
which the party could hope to win.
Mr.. Bird stated that he was very much
like the most Of fourrepresentatives ia Con-
gress. He believed that If man did his
duty by his constituency, amp was all right
in his public actions, that no one had any
ground or privilege to drag his private char
acter into political contest, or in any way
mention 1t in connection with politics.
Mr.. Higgins thought that such move
ment would not arrive ~ any head, and even
If 1t did, 1t would be the grandest political
fasco that ever took place In this State. No
one had been mentioned as possible can
didate on the Prohibition ticket yesterday,
but It was Indirectly stated that Rev. j. B.
Mann, Of New Garlic, would accept the
nomination II rendered him. This could
not be definitely traced, and we only give It
for what 1t is worth.
