THE CH1FF JUSTICE VAoANoY.-Besides
Messrs dupont and McCaulley George
Gray, Esq, of New Castle, is also mon
toned as a possible successor to Judge Gill
pin. His intimacy with the Governor
causes some expectation that he may be
appointed. The belief is entertained in
himself as public-spirited as Governor
Causey, and select Mr. Srnithers. The Sus
sex bar appear to desire the promotion of
Judge Wootten, and the appointment of
Mr., McFae in his place.

The centennial Guard.

RECRUITING THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DE-
TEorED ON Ir-WILMlNGToN APPOINT
MENTs.
In the meeting of the Centennial Com
mission, at Philadelphia, yesterday, there
was considerable discussion who should
control the Guard on the grounds,
now being recruited by Colonel Clay,
and resolution offered by Mr..
Donaldson of Idaho WAS adopted that
it be under the control of Commissioners
Mcneil, Loring and Nye that the Presi-
dent of the Commission be ex-oilicio Presi
dent of the Board and the Director-Gener-
al its Executive officer. Some recruiting for
the force is still going on, but it is about
full. The utmost care has to be exercised
in selecting men, and in spite OF it some
" hard cases. get on. They will be weeded
out, however, until the force is a model
one. On Monday, it is said New York
detective spotted seven disreputa BILE char
acters, including pick-pockets, from that
city, who had worked through and been ap-
pointed. They stepped down and out.
Capt. r. Moorhouse, who was appointed
on the force has resigned, finding that his
associations were not likely to be pleasant.
Ex- Officer Olmstead, of this city is on the
force, and A. Il. Peterson, James Fletcher,
and VIM. T. Davis were examined Yester-
day for appointment, with the probability
that they will succeed. There has been
enormous pressure for places. Tne me'H
( exp oC TO be uniformed next Modt1ay, all
but the officers and a few of the recruits
being yet in citizens clothes. The whole
number of the Guard will probably be about
one thousand on foot and two hundred
mounted-at least this is Col. Clay's plan.
The City of Philadelphia will also have Oh
duty in the grounds and near, five hundred
more men, so that the number on duty
there will be not less than fifteen hundred
during the time the Exposition is open.

THE REAPER AND FLOWERS.

There is reaper whose name is Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaUs the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shall have naught that is far?" said he,
"Have naught but the bearded grain1
Though he breath Of these flowers is sweet +
me,
l Twill give them all back again."
He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes,
He kssed their dropping leaves;
1t WAS for the Lord OF Paradise
lie bound them in mis- sheaves.
"My Lord hath need of these fowerets gay"
The reaper said, and smiled;
"Dear tokens OF the earth are they,
Where lie was once a child.
"They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care;
And saints, uDon their garments white,
Tho sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she mo did love;
She knew she could find them all again
In the fields Of light above.
Oh not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers away.

THE French are universally regarded
as polite people, but the conduct OF an
audience yesterday that with Kisses and
shouts refused to hear production oI
Wagner, seemingly because of dislike to
Germany and German music, did not
show it. These things are, however, ex-
Aggerated by single telling, and as this
report came by way Of telegraph and
cable, through several hands, the
French audience may not have behaved
30 badly as they are represented.

Our dispatches of Saturday announced
the release of Edward S. Stokes from the
Auburn State Prison. Stokes feels that
he has been badly treated, and is grieved
1T having been kept in prison several
months after his time had eXpired; at
having been required to put on an ap-
pearance OF work, and at not being per-
mitted to allow his beard and hair to
grow in time to be able to have
them trimmed to the latest tip
on his re-entrance into the fashionable
world, in which he is an acknowledged
star. Stokes considers himself very
Infused and unfortunate man, but there
are many others who think he should
thank his lucky star and his money that
he was not hanged instead Of merely
being impris soned for short time.
Stokes does not attribute Fisk's death
to himself, but, like John Graham, is
exceedingly indignant at the surgeons
for killing a man who was only slightly
wounded. He thinks the doctors who
attended Fisk should all be hanged.

THE only argument the papers of
rival cities make against the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad and the advantages
to accrue to us from its completion is
that the Southern trade is not worth
seeking, that the South has not recov-
cred sufficiently from the effects of the
war for its people to be in condition
to purchase and pay for goods to an eX-
tent to make tine trade of the section de-
sirable. A talk with any of our mer-
chants whose business reaches in that
direction will at once convince one oil
the fallacy of that proposition. A leading
boot and shoe merchant who has large
business South informs US that very
many of his best customers are il
Southern Kentucky, Tennessee, Missis-
Bippi and Alabama. These purchase
as largely, pay as promptly, and seem
to be doing as tiourishing a business as
his customers in any section of the cOun.
try. Two fine crops in succession have
done much towards putting the South
ern people in good circumstances. Farm
ers have money, and the merchants oil
course get proportion of it, and are en-
abled to pay old debts and make large
cash purchases. The credit system
prevalent in the South is greatly to the
detriment Of the farmer, but it Civ es
larger profits to the merchant who has
The capital or the credit to do business
rs it has to be done. On account of the
farmers in many sections only paying
bheir bills once year the merchant is
compelled to provide capital to car
ry him through much longer period
Than is necessary in any other section
There is another drawback that affects
not only the farmer, but all who deal
with him, for it increases greatly the
possibility of "local hard times" and that
10, the complete dependence on single
crop. The failure of this brings entire
Iailne, whereas if several tfereat crops
we're cultivated it would be seldom, il
.ver, that all would fail the same year.
The farmer in most of the sections we
aave Teerred to sells his cotton and
purchases from other places all that he
needs to eat, whereas most of it might
be raised by himself and the cost Of
transportation and numerous profits
saved, besides making him aud his Sec
lion much more independent. There is
Ggood deal OF political bosh, in the way
bf campaign capital, wasted on the
negro by both political parties
and to him is sometimes attributed the
failure of the South to recover as fast as
some people think it ought. One class
oil people insists that he Is lazy and in
delent an won't work, and the oLhe
that the while farmers treat him 81
badly he is not permitted to work. Oh
servant people who have Travelled
through the South find that neither
statement is correct. The truth is tht
negro does work. There are lazy ones
and there are some badly treated by EN-
ployers, but es a rule the colored man il
the South is just what he was before
