CHARLEY FISHER RELEAsED-MR. CoMEGYs
AND THE CHIEF-JUsTICEsHIP-NE FROM
REHoBOTH.
Correspondence of the Commercial.
Dover, May l0.-Chas. p. Fisher, son of
Judge George P. Fisher, of this State, came
to Dover on Saturday, accompanied by his
father, from Washington, and is now at the
Capital Hotel, where he will probably re-
main for some time. We understand from
the most reliable source that young Fisher
was, last week, bailed out of the Washing
ton prison, his father, Judge White, of
Washington, and Judge Fishers wifi, ,gsing
securitv,i in the sum of $4,000 for his future
good behavior and possible appear
ance at Court. 1t is likely that
this will be the last of the case, as it is
understood that no further prosecution will
be made unless Mr.. Fisher becomes amen
able hereafter. This is, believe, the first
announcement to the public that Fisher
lad been released and the fact, when
known here, created great deal of sur
prise. 1t was supposed that Judge Fisher
would not go upon his sons bail bond.
Fisher will, some time, go back to Milford
to live, probably with his father. His wife
is already at the Judges house, in that
town.
Your corresf ondent, last evening, called
upon MIR. Comegys and had brief inter
view with him upon the question of the
Chief Jnsticeship and the connection of his
name with the vacant place. He stated had
the report to the effect that he had been
proffered the place by the Governor was
not true, consequently he could not have
accepted it. Though I said nothing to him
as to what he would do, if offered the
position, should judge from his conversa-
ton that he would accept it, if offered, and
have the best possible authority for cay
ing it will be done within the present week.
The appointment of Mr.. Comegys will give
complete satisfaction to the entire bar of
of this county, without 1 believe a single
exception. In every way Mr.. Oomegys is a
| fit gentleman to succeed the late Chief
Justice In taking the position he sacrifices
one of the most desirable and lucrative
practices in the State. There is some curl
osity to know who will succeed him as coun-
sci for the r. r.
Although Dover is not the most likely
place to gather news from Rehoboth
came in possession of few items of pos
sible interest, this morning. VIM. Bright
yesterday, went up to Wilmington from
that place, where he had been looking af
ter the improvements there. He states tina
the plank walk along the surf drive hai
been completed thousand feet beyond
the pavilion, and the pavilion itself altered
SO as to have front and steps leading t,
the beach. A plank road has been lai,
from his hotel to the beach which can be use,
both as a carriage drive or a foot.path
Mrs. Grubb, the proprietress of the neV
hotel, will go down tomorrow, and super
intend tho furnishing of the house whicl
will be finally opened ON the 25th, the da
Of the excursion, after which it will b
ready for the reception of guests. Thre
Of the ten carloads of furniture which ha
been made by Mr.. Adair, of your city, wen
down last week, and the other seven are OIL
their way now. A large number of room
are already engaged, and application hai
been made for many more.
Mr.. Bright states that number of Gotta
ges are being erected, and all the improve
ments are in a forward state. The neJ
bath houses were commenced yesterday
There will probably be some change mad
in the superintendency when the Board o
Directors meet on the 18th. 1t is proposes
to unite the foremanship of the laborers an,
the superintendent's office, which will ne
cessitate the placing of the management i;
entirely new hands. This, or some othe
change, will probably be made.
