TILDEN's ELECTION WOULD STOP THE FUND
ING AT ~ PER CENT.
New YORK, Oct. 21.-The EUening Post,
in it's Washington correspondence, this af-
ternoon, reiterates its previous statement
(contradicted by Mr.. August Belmont) that
private letters had been received from Eu-
rope, to the effect that no more bonds
would be subscribed for by the Syndicate
until the Presidential election is decided,
and that if Mr.. Tilden is chosen President
none Of the bonds will be taken until the
policy Of the Democratic administration is
fully known. the reiteration is accom-
panied by the statement that Secretary
Morrill, said, this morning, that he " fully
expected that the funding operations would
come to an end if the Democratic party sue
ceeded next month" The correspondent
adds Mr.. Morrill, said he would not say
what the Syndicate, would do, because he
did not know; but he. believed that with Mr..
Tilden as President the funding would i'm
mediately stop. OF course, the Syndicate
would in any event have to take the $780,
100000 subscribed for, but further sub
scription would, in the Secretsry's judg-
ment, not be made"

cent supper in aid of st. Peters church
there was netted the sum of $124.60.
There were two cases before his honor on
Saturday evening ;the first for drunkenness,
fined 80 cents and costs; and from the evil
denee 1t appeared that John Harris, (coI.)
took exceptions to officer Connor making
the arrest OF the first case and undertook
to take the prisoner away from him, and
John behaved in rather uproariousImanner
throughout. He was given food for reflec-
tion by fine of $500 and cosss, and bail
in the sum of 800 for his future good con-
duct.was required.
Saturday night was lively, in fact all our
Saturday evenings are 80. There were two
political meetings and parade, with the
Newport Band furnishing the music.
City Council.met Saturday evening. Pres
ent Messrs. Etchell, Hopes, and Murray.
No business of any Importance was trans
acted.
The train due here on Saturday evening
at p. NJ, went down the road in two Sec
tions-the first of IA cars-the second of
IL. They were filled inside and out In a
day or two more the remainder Of Della
wares citizens, who went to the Centennial
on Delaware Day, will have returned.
That party or gang Of young men who in
denance to common decency, behaved in
80 outrageous a manner on 9Th street,
would do well to have a strict guard over
their future conduct as their names are
known, and his honor the Mayor has given
instructions to the police which will cover
all such cases.

What southern NTerchants saw.

It is declared on the authority Of the Bos-
ton Journal that hundreds of Southern
merchants who have been at the North for
the past few months frankly state that the
election of Tilden will be followed by ex-
cesses at the South which will be ruinous
to their section. There are many Demo-
Gratis who mean well, but the majority of
the Democrats in the Southern States be-
lieve that the triumph of Tilden is equiva-
lent to verdict of the people in favor OF
the issues which the South set up 1861
and they not only expect indemnification,
but they arrogantly assert that the cause
they fought for will find its full vindication
at the hands of those in power. This spirit
community, and many of the merchants at
the South look with fear upon the result "

pied seat in the ladies' car, and had trav-
eled part of the night before from Indian
apolis, and looked sleepy and tired. MIR.
Harris saw she was troubled, and on asking
her the cause was requested to please send
some married lady to speak TO her. Mr..
Harris did so, and through the medium Of
this third party was informed to the prob
able increase to the passengers under his
charge. The car was cleared, and half an
hour afterwards the passengers were in
formed that two bouncing boys had begun
life at the rate of thirty five miles an hour,
and they were very young boys too. Ex-
citement prevailed propositions to stand
rendered, and names in as great
abundance as IN the first book of the
Chronicles were proposed and refused. At
Athens, on the line of the road, the train
stopped long enough to allow Of certain ne
cessary clothing to be purchased, which the
passengers paid for, and the mother and
children came through without stopping.
Mrs Richardson lis the mother of four other
children, and makes her home on the East
ern Shore of Virginia. She continued her
