Draining a Lot.
Dr. of the Commercial :

To the Editor of the Commercial:
notice in the proceedings Of the Board
OF Health that member moved that suit
should be brought against the undersigned
for the cost of drain at Third and Van
Buren, streets. The Board of Health de-
cided several years since that the City of
Wilmington and not the undersigned had
created the nuisance. A subsequent Board
brought the matter before Mayor Whiteley
who decided that the City was in fault. The
City obatructed natural water course
and attempted to put in a drain,
afterwards filling in the dram, and
thus causing an accumulation of
water at Sd and Van Buren, streets. At one
time the city authorities. turned the flow of
water from this lot into the property of
Bishop Becker. A. 81. GRIMsHAw.

The FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE MoIEAR
EsTATE.-At the request of William Candy
assignee Of John McLear d Son, and in
answer to daily inquiries about dividend,
we state that the cause OF the delay is in
consequence of his holding some notes and
mortgages (taken in settlement) which he
will have TO dispose Of before he can rem
der his final account to the Court These
obligations he offers for sale, (by order of
the Court at q reasonable discount, in or
der to close up the estate, and persons
having large claims might do well to take
them or secure their negotiation.
We understand the final dividend will not
be less than eight nor more than ten per
cent. II it reaches the latter figure, the
whole payment will be 35 per cent. Mr..
Candy hoped, when he assumed the assig-
neeship, to make it 40, but the heavy de-
cline in the marketable price of real-estate,
and the payment of unexpected claims
which were enforced against the estate by
legal proceedings, reduced this expectation.

The Indian Campaign.

From Geographic advices the
hostile Sioux are believed to be
still rear the scene Of the late mhs-
sacre on the Little Big Horn river.
which is a fair indication that they
continue In q very confident and
defiant mood, The agent at Red
Cloud admits that up to date one
thousand Sioux and twelve hum
dred Cheyennes had left the reser-
walton for the north, a cjrcum-
stance which affords q striking
commentary upon the assuring
and pacific statements that have
lately been sent to Washington
from that quarter. Meanwhile
communication between Generals
Crook and Terry has become haz-
ardous. One courier from Crooks
command arrived at Fort Fetter-
man Saturday night, having been
nearly q week on the way, owing
to his being interrupted by In
dians and the difficulties of escap-
ing pursuit. 1t Is feared that cour-
iers sent from Fort Fetterman for
Crooks camp have also been inter-
cepted. Military operations are
progressing, however, though it
appears not much can be accom-
plished In the field till some time
next month.

HAYE AND
The Liberal Republicans
Will support The Ticket.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Ethan Al
len, chairman of the national liberal
republican committee, has issued an
address to the liberal republicans AN
nuling the call for a national con-
vention to be held July 70, at Phila-
delphia, and supporting the Cincin-
natl ticket. Mr.. Allen cities a reso-
luton adopted at a meeting of the
national committee of liberals held
here last May, at which time the call
for the convention was issued which
says : "That If, after the republican
and the democratic conventions have
been held in June next, one or both
of these parties shall seem, in the
judgment of our chairman, Mr. Ethan
Allen to have responded to the prin-
ciples and aims Of the liberal repub-
lican organization, both in measures
and men, in that event our chair
man is hereby authorized, after the
conference with the committee, by
proclamation to annul the call for a
national convention this day order
ed, but after said conventions and
their action being unfavorable to re-
form, our chairman is empowered to
take such action in furthering the
call for a liberal convention this day
ordered as he may deem necessary.
Mr.. Allen then says the republican
and the democratic conventions have
both been held, and as commanded
in the above resolution, l have since
conferred by correspondence with the
members of the national liberal COM
mittee, and the response which is In
entire harmony with my own views
is almost unanimous to annul the
call for the national convention
above referred to, and to approve in
the name of the liberal republicans
of the u. s. of the nomination Of
Rutherford b. Hayes, Of Ohio, for
President, and William A. Wheeler,
of New York, for Vice President.
Mr.. Aliens address says: IF the
liberals in 1872 sustained Horace
Greedy, who was the foremost repub-
lican OF his day, because he was an
unselfish patriot and an honest man,
they must now sustain Gen. Hayes
for the same reasons, and to do 9TH
erwise would be inconsistent action.
The opposition Of the liberals has
never been against the republican
party, of which they formed a part,
but rather against those who, unfor-
tunately for the nation, have had
control Of its destiny to its discredit.'
He reviews the course of the liberals,
and concludes by ~annulling the call
for a national convention at Phila-
delphia.
