large and fashionable audiences during the

able Templeton Combination, whose per-

augers most gratifyingly for an enthusiastic
welcome on their return. The engagement
introduced to Philsdelphia audience the
wonderful Fay, who at once nestled in the
appreciation and affection Of her audience,
showing that the high enconiums bestowed
upon her by the New York and San Fran

tion Of her exquisitely winning ways. All
the performances of the week were marked
successes, and last night the Tenn

To Isaac Grubb and Henry McMfllin: you
are the candidates Of the Democratic
and the other Of the Republican party-for
the responsible Office Of Sheriff, and both
ara earnestly seeking the support Of the
voters Of the county. Each voter has, there
fore the right to know, not only your gen
eral political opinions, but how you will con-
duct the Office to which you aspire.
Recently published charges against the
administration of the Office by the present
incumbent excited interest on the subject,
which lsd the writer to make inquiries, but
will not refer to the subjects of these
charges, as they were publicly made, over
responsible name, and the responsibility for
correction, rests, now, with the Levy Court
There is, however, one instance of abused
power, which my inquiries developed upon
which your opinions are sought, as means
OF determining your fitness for election.
The people of New Castle county have
built, at large expense. q Jail for the con-
fnenent of convicts; and IN q majority Of
cases imprisonment within that jail is the
chief part of the sentence of the court. The
Sheriff Is made by the law the custodian of
the prisoners, and to him the court gives its
Instructions and confides the execution of
its sentences. But It seems that he is in
the habit of putting himself above the law
and the court, and, instead of confiniDg all
the convicts, according to the sentence and
direction of the court, he allows to several
as much liberty and as many privileges as
If they had not been tried, convicted and
sentenced. Every day and almost any
time of night, men who are theoretically
undergoing punishment for crimes may
be seen perambulating the streets Of New
Castle without apparent restraint. One of
them 10 covicted murderer.
It fs the opinion Of many that the order
excluding visi ors, lest they convey to
prisoners the facilities for effecting their
escape, is burlesque upon discipline,-a
huge joke,-so long as coRvicts are allowed
ingress and egress to and from jail at their
option. One of the privileged, took "Freuch
leave" last Fall, and has not put in an ap-
pearance siBce, and It is evident, that, If
the other prisoners (?) thus favored, do not
"vamose," It is because they enjoy the
'.oke." Meanwhile the people are deceived
and Justice is defrauded. What is your
opinion, gentlemens Whether you will
correct or continue these unlaw full practices
will determine the vote of many an inde
pendent. INDEPENCE.

Tho City auditor Serio,ssly III From an
Attack Of Paralysis.
Yesterday morning about $50 O'Clock,
Mr.. James L. Beggs, City Auditor, was
suddenly attacked by paralysis Of the heart,
while attending to his official duties at his
Office on Sixth street. He was removed to
his residence at Eighth and French streets,
and Drs. Draper and johnson summoned.
They found him unconcious and in very
critical condition, his entire left side being
completely paralyzed. Mr.. Beggs had . sim
liar attack about seven weeks ago by which
he lost his speach for nearly twelve hours.
At q late hour last evening his condition
was somewhat better and he seemed to rest
considerably easier. The attending physi-
clans are not 20 fearful now as earlier in

VOn - OkAXN II Il V1o SAAA3 = .
To be DETAINED by some persons, is evil
aence of worth. Our venerable friend Isaac
Grubb whose hairs are silvered by age, is
abused most causelessly and wrongfully.
The natural contempt which his reviler
has for poor people, prompts the attack
upon Isaac Grubb for his honesty. We
are informed that his competitor has quite
as many persons anxious for his success, as
are waiting upon Mr.. Grubbs chances.
The charge against the moral character, ef
Mr.. Grubb by the Every Evening"" is in
such perfect accord with its Ishmalitish
character, as to amaze no one. Isaac
Grubb's moral character is good:-honest,
honorable, amiable, sober "a manly, brave
man, who would scorn to stop the venom
Of an enemy's pen or tongue, by craven
suit.
We invoke the support of every Demo-
crat for Isaac Grubb. In the dark days
Of the past, when it was unfashionable to
be Democrat, he was always ready to
stand in the breach; gratitude demands
his support. We ask the honest fair
minded Republicans to sustain Mr.. Grubb,
and prevent the success Of his rival, whose
election is the main dependence Of the old
corrupt ring of this county, in their des-
perate attempt to regain power.
