THE NEW RULES.

The new rules TO be voted upon next
Saturday week, are = fair subject Of discns.
sion, and il is meet that they should be
fully, freely, and feavlssly criticised. Any
Democrat who attended the County Meet
ing, must have been impressed with the
fact, that the feeling Of the meeting was
manifestly in favor of extending, the bal
lot, TO the selection Of members of the
Legislature and Levy Court Commissioners.
This is absolutely denied to the people, by
the rules prepared by the Committee, and
most ingenously, is the way paved for the
possible rule Of the many by the few.
Our party has always prided itself-now
more 50 than ever, for its advocacy Of the
rights of the people, and its desire to se-
cure to them the benefit of "home rule."-
Listen good reader to the following Sec
ton Of a rule you are asked to vote upon ::
"The delegations of the several Hundreds
entitled by law or these rules to candi-
date, or candidates, shall be permitted to
recommend such candidate or candidates,
but it shall be the province of the Conven-
tion to accept or reject their recommends
ton, and in case Of rejection, to nominate
proper person or persons instead"
This is cool! Wilmington may be
stirred to its centre, by a contest between
two or more good Democrats for nomi-
nation for the Legislature or Levy Court;
but it ispossible, that combination of a
few able managers at the Convention
would "reject and nominate
proper person or persons instead" This
is a step backward, and one which en-
croaches upon the old customary right, Of
the hundred to nominate their Senators,
Representatives, or Levy Court Commits
sioners:--a deprivation of "home rule" sure
to be resisted. Better far let the old rules
stand in all their Objectionable fogyism
than by our votes give
the force of party law to the new
ones. We will not comment upon other
Objectionable rules; because inconsequent,
and obscure Of meaning; but content our
selves with advising every Democrat to
vote against the rules which would enable
the county convention, to slap the choice
of any hundred in the face, and nominate
person who would be Objectionable, and
unfit to represent the people of the Hun
dred, who best knew whom they wanted.

We ARE willing to abide by the decis-
ion Of any impartial committee that may
investigate the fare the prisoners at New
Castle Jail received previous to the day
that they rebelled, information of which
was carried to the Jail Commissioners, and
then it was that the food was improved. A
correspondent of the Gazette states, that he
is disposed to take the word of honest peo-
pie, before that Of felon. He forgets that
many of those in the Jail are awaiting
trial, and until convicted they are not
felons. Onr information was derived origi-
nally from one of the Commissioners, and
it was this that prompted us to send over a
reporter. The "Commerciap' of yester-
day says, "it is one Of those things that no
fellow can find out with certainty" 1t
would not have been found out, had not
the rebellion occurred, which was the
means of bringing it to the ears of the Com
missioners,and then The HERALD ext posed
it as an outrage upon the prisoners and
taxpayers. Forty cents a day for tainted
meat and greasy water just think of it,

ECONOMY was attempted in the Board
of Education on Monday night. There
was under discussion the teachers salaries,
and the members expressed themselves
thereon with considerable spirit in the de-
bates that sprung up. Economy in the
proper place is worthy the labor of our
public officers, in seeing that it is effected,
but there is difference between true and
false economy. We have always aimed
to have first class schools, and pay teach
ers salaries now, far less than other places
of the same size as Wilmington, but if we
are to enter into wholesale slaughter of
what is already as low as can be, then we
cannot expect to keep the schools up to
the standard. The gentleman who urged
This was defeated in his object we arc
more than glad TO state.

a Canard Matted.

EDITORS OF NEWS: Permit me TO
correct one of the many canards in s.
N.Wood's communication OF last week.
viz, the suggestion that droYa Prof.
Norton out of the State. This SANDER,
in many forms, has been circulated, and
it is time q simple statement of the
facts in the case was made. Negotia-
tions were entered upon by Prof. Nor
ton for the position he now holds in
the Normal school in California, soon
after his failure to secure the Republi-
can nomination for superintendent OF
Public Instruction. At that time, at
Prot. Norton's request, I had the pleas
ure of writing strong recommends
ton for him, and sent it to the Presi-
dent of the Normal school.
This was before the action of the
Legislature reducing salaries of teach
ers, and while the most cordial rela-
lions existed between Prof. N. and
myself. The reason he gave me for
desiring to go to California was the
precarious condition of his wife's
health.
The other insinuations and stale
charges of Mr.. Wood, are too trivial
and absurd to require serious refuta-
ton. c. r. PoMRRoY.
