Grants most intimate adv'sera the ad-
ministratior of the National Government
under him will be virtually the same. The
persistsncy with which his name Is
brought forward as the synonym of hon.
esty, exhibits the palpable want Of such .
requisite in the present administration. II
the party is the one that has saved the
country and reduced the government, it
would present itself to the country worthy
of favor, without oratorical advertising, as
the one most fitted to rule. The admis-
sion that Hayes and Wheeler will reform
abuses is evidence sufficient to convict the
present administration of having abused
its high trusts. The Democratic party
appear as the just complainants against
these abuses, and to effect the needed re-
forms present to the country two men as
their candidates, who are Of undoubted
honesty, who have both occupied executive
positions and administered them faithfully.
The assertion that the Democratic leaders
are men, who were dishonest office holders
under President Johnson's administration,
is weak and untenable ground in party
discussion, that carries no weight, and it is
a matter for surprise that Senator with
any reasonable amount of intelligence
should offer it as a cause why the Demo-
cratic farty is not entitled to power, or as
palliation for the disgraceful conduct Of
Republican party officers. Congressional
debate has always been looked to as that
containing logic, but when it descends to
this, and much other that has been heard
in the Senate and House during this ses-
sion of Congress, it loses all qualities Of
value.

THE DEMAND FOR BREAD.

A large meeting of the unemployed
workingmen of this city was held las
evening at the City Hall. The object o
the meeting was to place their distressing
situation before the Mayor, Council and
citizens of Wilmington. The representa-
tions made show large amount of suffer.
ing among our working classes, many Of
whom, it is stated, are actually suffering
for the want Of bread.
We were glad to see that the meeting
was one governed by good order, and the
workingmen merely wished to make their
situation known, that if possible steps
might be taken to give them relief. This
we hope may be accomplished as there are
none more deserving of aid than the work.
ingmen of our city, whom we take pride
in stating are as honorable class of men as
are to be found in any community. A
full report of the meeting last evening will
be found in our local columns.

WILL 1T 60 TIL ROUGH?

Mr.. Hofiecker's name has been with
drawn as a candidate for the office OF
United States District Attorney fer the
State of Delaware. What the reason OF
this is has not yet been divulged, but it is
stated by many that his case came before
the wrong committee in the Senate; that
is, those who were for some reason, that has
not been made known, opposed to him.
The opposition to him as we stated
in THE HERALD of yesterday was
greater than many thought; and that it
was of some influence must be judged by
the sudden withdrawal of his name. The
President yesterday sent to the Senate for
confirmation the nomination Of Mr.. Will
liam c. spruance, for the same office.
The President, and that faction Of the Re
pubIicans in Delaware who followed hia
dictations in choosing delegates to Cincin-
natl seem determined that Mr.. Higgins
must vacate, and after failing twice have
brought forward the name of Mr.. Spruance.
Whether the opposing powers will prevent
its going through remains to be seen,

CONGRESSIONAL DEBATE,

Debate in Congress has taken anothe,
turn. 1t has departed from the old
grooves and channels of discussing bills
and amendments, snd turned upon the
merits of the principal parties to he rep
resented in the coming Presidential cam
paign. The Republican members have
taken more than extraordinary pains to
place Governor Hayes before the country
as a Reformer, and claim that if their
party has fallen into any error by the ac-
tions Of officers under Grants administra-
tion, that the candidates they offer the
country in the next election will reform
all abuses that have occurred. 1t was
vauntingly stated by a Republican Senator
a few days since, that all the dishonest
office-holders under President Johnson's
administration were now leaders in the
Democratic party. This is poor excuse,
even if it were true, for the short comings
Of the Republican party, It is rather late,
too, to talk ofrsform when the party Of

A Costly Coffee Set,

A Constantinople letter in the New York
Times" says: There will then be no uneasy
feelings in Wall street when 1t is known
that the July coupon will not be paid,
although Abdul Aziz's private collection OF
jewelry has been seized and turned over to
the finance department, to be converted into
hard cash as soon as purchasers can be
found for the 100000 Turkish pounds, at
which 1t is estimated. There is one beauti-
full piece on sale, which can recommend
to any millionaire who is desirous of having
something entirely unique, regardless Of
cost. It is cofe service that is to say, q
coffee service according to Oriental ideas,
neither coffee-pot, sugar-bowl nor cream
jug, merely salver with twelve cups and
sauccers, the former being about the size of
an egg glass, but all in solid gold, each
piece incrusted with brilliants and emeralds,
and the whole cost 1000 or about $50, 900
in American currency. This last will sure
ly be sufficient inducement to tempt some
millionaire across the Atlantic, at least so
the Turks seem to think, for commission

has, know, been authorized to write there
on the subject.

THERE is a disposition upon the part Of
the Republican party, purely for campaign
purposes, to create the impression that at
the Saratoga conference, there was a
decided difference Of opinion between
Tilden and Hendricks upon vital ques.
tions. Many of their organs have even
gone so far as to state that it will lead to
disruption in the Democratic party. Gov.
ernor Hendricks has answered this per
sonally, and states that he and Governor
Tilden agree upon all points save a few Of
minor importance. This explodes the nice
little bit of campaign capital they have
been so tenderly nursing.

THE HAMBURG MASSACRE.


The Hon. Mr.. Lamar, Of Mississippi, in
his speech in the House on the recent
massacre in Hamburg, South Carolina,
spoke with calmness and sound reason.
His assertion that the best people in the
South deprecated such unfortunate occur
ences as this was the truth, and its open
avowal will meet with the hearty approval
Of the law abiding people. Republican
papers are endeavoring to create the i'm.
preston that the whole South is censur.
able for this lamentable affair to law and
good order. The South is no more re-
sponsible for this as whole than the
State OF Pennsylvania is for the Mollie
Mcguire outrages there. The animus Of
the debate upon the Republican side was
to show that there was still need for troops
in the Southern States. But Mr.. Lamar
crushed this in the statement that the
troops were never on hand when needed
This shows that there is no organized So
ciety in the South inimical to the law,
and that the Ku-Klux organization, which
has been used so much by Republicans,
for political capital, has no existence.
Disturbances similar to that Which oc-
CURED at Hamburg, are likely to break
out at the North at any time. 1t would
be far more reasonable to food Pennsyl-
vania with Federal soldiers to
break up organized bodies of out
laws there, than it is to send them
into the South, whore disturbances are oc-
casional, and possible no more than at the
North. 1t would be as reasonable to flood
the whole North with military for fear
that disturbances may occur But the
purpose of troops in the South is different
one ii is to use the bayonets for coercion
in elections. 1t is to use an effort to carry
the South for Hayes and Wheeler at the
point of the bayonet, the same means that
the Republican party has always used in
election purposes in that section. In this
way troops can be used more effectively
than in preventing disturbances. In many
portions Of the South one polling place
answers for voting population within a
radius of ten and fifteen miles. At these
polls the military will be conferred and at
the point ofthe bayonet carry the elections
in any manner that they may choose. AL
ready in Mississippi the carpet baggers
have commenced their work by informing
the colored voters that they msst vote for
Hayes and Wheeler or they will be put
back into slavery again. In Congress the
Republican members are building M DO
litical capital in the recent occurrence at
Harrisburg. They hold the entire South
responsible for it, and urge it as a reason
why the military shonld be kept there,
We admit that just at this time nothing
could have occurred more lamentable for
the South, as it will be taken advantage of
by the administration to carry out its pur-
poses, and that is TO gain the vote of the
South in the Presidential election for
Hayes and Wheeler.

French Students In Disorder.

The Paris newspapers report another dis
turbance among the students at the Sor.
bonne. The facts of the matter are not yet
thoroughly known, but it appears that in an
examination which took place for admission
to the Ecole Polytechnique suspicion
became general among the ordinary stu
dents that those of the religious college had
been already appraised of the subjects on
which the examination was to take place,
The result WAS such an uproxr that It wal

although many had begun to congratulate
themselves that it had, with the one or
two days that the thermometer went down
below the height it had occupied for the
last week or so. Yesterday two of our
large manufactures were compelled to
cease operations owing to the extreme
heat, and in New York and PHILADELPHIA
there were many cases of sunstroke.
