Another lawyer 10 the front. The Every
Eceni''g, Of yesterday, urgently striving to
demolish Attorney General Taft, and to de-
monstrate that the United States cannot
protect voters whom it has invested with
newri hts of franchise, says Of the Supreme
Courts decision that
In the " Grant Parish cases" the clauses
imposing penalties for conspiring and
banding" to intimiGate voters are with equal
clearness declared to be unconstitutional,
for reasons similar to those on which the
decision in the Kentucky case was based.
We beg to differ, right there. The Court,
if its printed opinion is to be the guide for
a Judgment, did not, in the Grant Parish
cases, decide the clauses of the law under
which they came up unconstitutional, but
held that the indictments were imperfectly
drawn-that they were " too vague and
general, and did not meet the terms OF the
statute. A reading of the decision will sus-
tain what we say, aud will show that the
| legal minds in this neighborhood, who are so
intent on making mlnce-meat of the able
aud cautious Attorney are by no
meana half right. VINO next ?
The census of 1870 showed that out of
30,841 persons residing in Wilmington, near
ly one half were not born in Delaware. 5152
were OF foreign birth, including many of
our respected, ectiye and valued citizens.
1850 were born in the State of Maryland,
1459 Of the number being white. 746 were
born in the State OF New Jersey. SIS were
born in tie State OF New York. 4l65 were
boru in the State Pennsylvania. In ALL 49,
12l Of the people Of this citywere born else

WILL THEREPUBLICANs OF NEW CAS-
TIE COUNTY DO THEIR DUTY?


The business Of the Republicans of this
county, from now until the 7.h of Novem-
ber, is simply to make thorough and ear
nest canvass, pushing straight ahead to the
polling of their entire legal and honeatyot
on that day. They need not mind anything
whatever but the straight line of their duty
as members OF an organization to whose
principles they are attached and in whose
candidates and policy they have faith. II
they will ''rally, once again, and do it with
courage, they will redeem the county by a
sweeping majority. But this will need
work from every member of the party,
high and low, from one end of the line to
the other. It will not suffice to make a
languid, Indifferent effort if that is done,
we shall be surprised next month by some
more such returns as we had on Tuesday
some of them very good indeed, but others
showing such careless want Of preparation
as enabled our active opponents to break
through our lines with ease, and turn
against us districts that are always Repub-
lican "when the vote comes out"

and go in to win. We have the majority
decisive maj ority-a large majority-and
it should be polled in November. Our op-
ponents will poll their vote, of course
they always do; but the inattention of
many Republicans is often as exasperatng
as it is fatal IN its results. Since the vote

the county to SO Republican, unless he

ALL AGAINST THE CoLORED MEN.

White Democrats went around from poll
ID poll, on Tuesday, Offering to vote, and
some of them as we know, and probably
many Of them, did vote, regardless of their
place OF residence. But not one of them
was arrested, either by the county conata-
bles or the police. CoIored men, however,
were pounced upon, without reason, upon
pretexts of the most frivolous sort, and ta-
ken to the City Hall. Such a case was that
OF William Anderson, who, upon leaving
the Third Ward polls, before voting, to go
and gel voucher, was arrested Without the
request of the Inspector, without any war;
rant, and without any cause, ON the charge
of attempting to vote illegally 1t was a
gross outrage. OF course he did not get
his vote i'll, at all. Another case heard by
the Mayor last evening-that OF Henry
Singleton-was almost as bad.
The Second Ward was one of the places
where it was difficult for colored mans
vote to be given at all. The moment he
appeared the crowd rushed to the window
and began to shout questions at him, ,wrang-
ling and dsputing. There is considera-
BILE number of colored voters in the Ward,
many of them well-known, and living there
long time. Their right to vote lie just az
much beyond reasonable doubt as that OF
scores OF white men who, having Democrat
ic ballots in their hands, were welcomed by
the election officers, without a question.
This chapter of Tuesdays history is cal.
culated to arouse the indignation OF every
fair-minded man. The evident purpose of
iatimidating the colored men, and the out
rageous uufauness of arresting them, with
no reason whatever, while white repeaters
Went from poll to poll undisturbed. will
justly arouse public feeling on the suject.

nothing unfavorable is said, to our know

forward one containing as much bad tim

ONE MORE RnnRBAcK.

The "roorback" paraded yesterday by
tie two organs of MIR. Tilden in New York
will not bs any more effective against Gov.
ernor Hayes than the silly stories about his
local taxation aud the soldiers s400 bounty
money. Both these were blown clear out
of water, and even the Tilden organs had
to give them up. The officers of the
american Alliance, whatever it may be,
represented that it was devoted to the
maintenance of unsectarian schools, and,
upon that Governor Hayes said he sympa
thized with its principles. Certainly lie
does. The absurd charge that he was op-
posed to the naturalization OF foreigu-born
citizens, is totally false. The following let
ter is clear enough upon this point
COLUMBUS, o., Sept, 13, 1876.
DrAR SIR 1t is not true that General
Hayes was a Know. Nothing, or that he has

they cause to be delivered historical sketch
of such county or town from its formation

great :" Post Road !" between the cities OF
Phiadelphia and New York, and an i'm
p"rtant Ferry Company " Of the Della

Rapids or "Falls.'
The location 10 memorable in the Revo-
lutionary struggle, being the interposng
barrier point, where the victorious British
forces, under Howe and CORVALLIS, ceased
to pursue the discounted American army,
under General Washington, and turned
back from the pursuit.
General Washington wrote many letters
to the Continental Congress at the time and
gave the location either at, or certain
number Of miles from "Coryell's Ferry"
The religious and secular material for q
