We publish the following from the
Commercial to show what foolish idea
it has of civil war. 1t may be to the in
terest of that paper to stir up animosity
inthis community, but we do not believe
it is to our people. 1t tsays:
If anybody will investigate the possi-
bility Of a Tilden "war" they will see how
thin the prospect for it is. In the first
place the South won't fight for the Sham
Reformer. The ipeople there know the
horrors of war, and don't care TO incur
them again for so poor piece of timber
Besides, if war were possible, the colored
people in the South would not remain
quiet, as they did from 1861 to 1865 they,
alone;would almost neutrahze the militia
ry strength of Mr.Tilden's partisans there
But in the North, what? The fellows
who would be expected TO become food
for powder in Sammys behalf are not of
that sort. They dind't fight before, when
the chance was splendid, and they never
will. Again, who would furnish the sim
ews of war in the North? Not the States,
for there is a Republican majority in the
Legislature of every one of them, except
ing New Jersey. (Which is so tied that
neither party can do anything,) and pos
sibly one or two others-Oregon being
one. With the Northern Legislatures
against it, and the South not aiding it the
Tlden Rebellion would be short-lived
AFT air.

From tho Y Y SrN. Doc Q.

Among the State officers elected in
Louisiana and counted out by the rascals
who constitute the Returning Board in
that State, was the Hon. X. NJ. Lusher,
Superintendent of Public Education.
Mr.. Lusher is the agent in Louisiana of
the Peabody Fund, and gentleman of
the highest standing, possessing peculiar
qualifications for the responsible office to
which he was elected. The Republican
candidate for that Office, who was de-
feated at the polls and counted in by
kellogg's Returning Board, is an illiterate
negro from Jamaica, of doubtful reputa-
tion, who possesses all the qualities that
are calculated to disqualify him for the
position that he usurps. 1t is a curious
fact that the professed zeal Of the carpet
baSgers for the education of the blacks
in the South has usually found Is practi-
cal manifestation in the appointment to
those offices that have the control of edu-
cational affairs, of persons who have been
either profoundly ignorant or else exces-
sively dishonest, or both and that as a
natural consequence, in the Southern
States under Republican lule large pro-
portion of the money raised for school
purposes has been stolen.

The ARMY.-The Wilmington Com
mercidl appears to advocate the inaugu-
ration of Hayes by the aid of the army :
thus showing at once the wisdom Of the
trainers OF the constitution and the gov
"mment in avoiding, and dreadins the
keeping of standing army. 1t is now
proposed to Use the small one we have tc
destroy the will of the majority of the
people. We are for peace; but still We
may ask how the Commercial knows that
the army could be made to fight to put
down the white people and install the
negroes il, power? For that is what ha,
been done in South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana.

The Mexican insurgents are carrying
everything before them. The latest dis
patches tell us that the government
forces, numbering some four thousand
men, attacked the revolutionary forces
under Diaz. During the fight, when Diaz
was begiving to give ground, a body of
troops came into the rear of the govern
ment army, like Blucher at Waterloo,
and turned the tide of battle against
them. 1t is said that Allatsrre lost 300
men killed, and Diaz 400.

The negro vote was forced upon tn,


country by bayonets. Take the negro
sote away from the Republican majority
N Pennsylvania and the Democrats will
nave majority of 10000; take the ne
gro vote away from the Republican party
IN Ohio and Tilden and Hendricks will
nave majority of 10000. of what use
S the negro vote to any party if it can be
"j,tinidoted' as they say it was in South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana? OF
what use has the 5000 negro votes foist
apon the people of Delaware been to the
Republican party, but to make that party
the laughing stock of the intelligent peo-
pie of the community? We know
earnest, working party men in the Re
publican party who declared before the
late election that the candidate who Sc
cured the negro vote would be sure to be
defeated. and il was so. There is now
feeling of this kind in the Republican
Party-there is a class of honorable men
N it that know they never can rise be-
cause they will not seek the negro vote;
and as a balance of power it is always
against such honorable men. Now, in
he three States the Republican party
claim these men as theirs, and we do not
feel disposed to deny that the negroes are
Republicans, for in such badly managed
l,,,f NJ ~ ('hinaSp
Japanese or fools would vote with the
party if they were not paid to do so.
But We do say that if the negroes be-
ong to the Republican party that party
should see that their votes are polled and
.egally polled; and then legally counted,
and only such as are polled legally al
lowed TO be counted.
We do protest against any white mans
or any Democratic vote being thrown
cut to put negros in, or because ne
gro's might have been put in and was
aot put in.
The Republican party forced the negro
vote upon the country against the ma
ority of the people, and it cannot now
require the Democrats to guarantee that
The negroes do vote. Here in Delaware
we are furnishing schools to negroes out
Of taxes upon the property OF white men
while the negro's property is not taxed at
all for school purposes; and the Republi-
can party is not satisfied. We allow all
their negroes to vote that 90 forward and
nave their names put on the tax lists, and
he Republican party is not satisfied. Our
collectors 90 after the negroes to get their
names. and they or their wives deny they
live in the houses won't furnish any
names, and the Republicans are not
satisfied and when the names are put
On by the Collectors the negroes won't go
forward and pay the smallest tax as
struck oil. This does not satisfy the Re-
publicans, in fact they want the Demo-
crafts to gather up this ignorant, imbecile,
ragged and useless class of bummers and
bring them to the polls to vote Republi.
cans into Office. Nothing less than thi,
will satisfy the Radicals in Delaware
and this is what Grant is endeavoring tC
force upon the whites of the South in or
