PATCH ES.
GENERAL

By American Press Association.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The Senate
Committee on foreign relations had long
session to-day on the subject Of Dana,s NOM
nation as Minister to England. Senator
Boutwell, handed the committee memorial
of the Boston Bar in favor of confirmation
The remainder of the session was strictly
private. 1t is reported however, that the
committee has formally determined to re-
port the nomination adversely.
Respecting what has been said about the
recent correspondence ofthe Attorney Cen
eral with Dyer, intending to reflect upon
Gen. Babceck, the latter makes the follow
ing statement and authorizes its pubica-
ton: III found a copy of letter lying upon
nv desk at the Executive Mansion. l DO
not know how or by whom it came there.
| It was without any envelope or direction,
it was marked official or confidential ,
There was nothing to show that it was In
tended for the President The copy ap-
bears to have been made in the Attorney
Generals office. Finding this copy open
and without direction, upon my desk, !
presumed it was for my inspection, and
placed it in the hands of my counsel Tor

regard 10 II.
Manuel E. RevaIta, newly appointed Min
lister resident of Costa Rica, was to-day pre-
sented to the President by the Secretary OF
State; the usual diplomatic speeches were
made. The House to-day took up the Leg
islative Judicial and Appropriation bill; in
teresting discussion arose in relation to re-
luctiou of salaries proposed by the commit,
tee. There is unquestionably much opposl,
ton to great reduction proposed on part Of
the Democrats and Republicans. There are
still at least thirty members who want te
debate the bill generally, before It comes W
by sections. The committee on Foreign At
fairs hope to examine Schenck Tomorrow
as soon as they are done with ex-senator
Stewart.
The Indian Appropriation bill will prob
ably be reported about the end Of this week

CAUGHT.
CAPTURE of Righ,cay Robbers.

In another column will be found an ac-
count of the robbery of Mr.. James Dawson,
of Middleton, in this city last night.
Through the energy and promptness of
officers Connor and Gibbons, of our police
force, the two ruflans were captured at $40
st. John street, Philadelphia, brothel
house, where Levi Davis, one of them, has
girl. The other robber, James Hynes was
with Davis in the bar-rUom at the
time Of the capture, and give no resistance.
In going to the Philadelphia station honse
Davis threw away the gold watch, but it
was subsequently recovered. The ring was
not found, but the silver watch has been
pawned in this city. Both of these men are
desperate characters, and are well known
in Wilmington. Officers Conner and Glib
bins, who are now on the force deserve a
large share Of credit for their success in the
capture.

AMUNEM ENTS.

About four hundred persons gathered at
the Opera House last evening to witness
the performance Of Duprez and Benedict's
Minstrel Troupe, parts Of which was per-
haps as good and as laughable as that of
most minstrel shows, but some OF it fell a
little below the average. The concluding
piece drew forth the plaudits of the audi
snce, and was doubtless the most deserv-

The Sic VclOcE Car.

Those who have never ridden upon the
six O'Clock car at night have missed one OF
the sweets of life. 1t comes along just al
the time when the workingman is free from
the labors of the day, when the dry goods
clerk has folded up the last piece of calico,
hung up the yard stick, and taken the
pencil down, as Mark Twain would say,
from the bracket behind his year, when the
business man has scratched all the figures
out of his head, and donned his ulster,
when the lady discovers to her horror the
late hour, and that she left the bread in the
oven. All of these the six O'Clock car
catches. 1t makes no difference whether
there arc twenty of them or fifty, they all
catch that car, and squeeze, sandwich, pack
and jam tito it. If there were fifty the
odd five could get in just as well as the
fifty, but the last one would have only
about two inches Of the step to stand on,
and still if the iifty-sixth wanted to get in
the ran with such limited standing room
would not be at all selfish, he would give
one zach ofthe two.
In the six o'clock car, strap is worth
as much as seat. and corn protector
would be worth doubly as much as both,
for in that car no one is respecter of corns
or bunions, and game leg would stand no
more show than cider among the boys.
All pity the poor mules, but yet not one is
advocate enough Of the society for the pre-.
vention of cruelty to animals to get out and
help the fiery steeds to pull the convey
ance. If man in the front of the cal
wishes to get out, it would be no more
difficult feat for him to try to clint
a greasy pole, or to convince New Castle
man that that is not the greatest city il
the world, than to wedge through tina

Winter still fingers in the lap OF sprlug'
We are blessed with the most changeable
climate on the face of the earth. One thing
that ia never monotonous on the Lower
Peninsula is the climate, especially in win
ter. when torrid heat and arctic cold, inter
change with unfailing variety.
About al, inch of ice found Sunday night,
and some of our citizens, who refused to
stow away the three inch ice Of last De-
cember, are only too glad to gather the one
ineh ice of March, and are slowing it away
as fast as possible. The ice crop OF this
section is never to be depended on, and oul
more prudent citizens usually harvests the
first that comes, but the cold opening ofthe
present winter beguiled even them, conse
uuently Dover was nearly iceless.
The peach men are talking despondingly
of the peach crop already. 1t is assertee
that while orchards planted on high ground
and in exposed situations, unsheltered b.
woods, ETC., are perfectly safe, the orchard
planted on low grounds, or sheltered b.
woods, hillocks, ete., contra wise are YER
badly injured but if only half the crop tn
orchards are capable Of bearing is raise

Who is going to consume these peaches

Democratic Spirit and PurpOse.

Revelations of the spirit and purposes of
the Democratic party have been made this
week which must be rude shock to those
who have brought themselves to believe in
that contradiction reformed Democracy"
In Ohio the Democrats have declared for the
reputation of the national obligations and
have fully endorsed the wild theories of the
currency lunatics whom Kelley and Carey
lead. In Louisiana and Mississippi the
Democrats have not contented themselves
with words, but have shown a Demosthenic
faith in action. Reputation platforms may
attract few Republicans who are infected
with the soft-money delusions, but the South
ern Democrat knows much better way to
reduce the Republican vote, and that is to
kill the voters. He knows that it is abso-
lutely necessary that all the Southern States
should throw their electoral votes for the
Democratic candidate for President in order
to give his party any reasonable chance of
success, and he goes to work to assure a
Democratic majority by preventing Repubi-
cans from voting. He reasons correctly that
the only sure way to do that is to murder the
voters. So he goes out and shoots score of
negroes, and even assassinates a white Re-
publican if he can "draw "a bead on him.
from the shelter of some bush or
building. In Louisiana the terrible
scenes of the summer of 1874 are be-
ing repeated. The White Leaguers are mur-
dering negroes in patches of twenty, and
driving hundreds of Republicans out of the
state. In Mississippi the White Regulators
have warned prominent black men that they
must refrain from voting or be shot, and to
emphasize the warning have killed large
number of them. The laws of the land are
openly defied. The constitutional amend.
ments are treated as nullities.
Thus in the West the De mocrats are
assaulting the national credit and in the
South the fundamental law of the land.
Their course is a warning to all who are in
clined to trust them. If, while on their good
behaviour, they cannot restrain their tenden.
cies to murder and swindle, what will they
do if they achieve power and feel under no
restraint at all? If, under the strongest
inducements to carry themselves we'll, they
cannot restrain the negotiating spirit at the
South and the honesty-hating spirit at the
West, if they cannot now resist the tempta-
tion to kill the black man and cheat the pub
lie creditor, what will they do when they
have all power in their hands? The result
of Democratic victory is plainly indicated,
and is to be contemplated only with indgna-
tion and dread. The man who votes the
Democratic ticket this year cannot claim
ignorance as an excuse, and takes upon him.
self responsibility for murder and breach of
public faith.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1876-05-20
Political News,

The Buffalo Blaine Club now has more
than 700 members.
Pendleton's character is being "shned up''
afresh in the Democratic papers.
The Auburn Advertiser thinks that at
present Mr.Blaine is ahead of his compett-
ors, and that, on the whole, if elected, he
would make good President.
The latest argument against Bachelor Sam
Tilden as President is that the country
doesn't want a man that no woman would
have.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says that it is as
sured that Gov. Hendricks is in favor of the
extinction of the national banks, that the In
diana platform says so, and the Governor is
on that platform.
Senator Krkwood of Iowa says he does
not wish to have his State present him at
Cincinnati as candidate for the Vice-Presi-
dency. He evidently doesn't care to be fa-
vorite stepson.
Ex-Congressman c. B. Farwell, of Chica-
go, has written letter showing that the
Democrats had to count the votes of forty
three paupers in order to have pretext to
turn him out of his seat and admit LIE
Moyne.
At wedding in Baltimore, the other day,
Gen. Grant, Secretary Brlstow and Mr..
Blaine were talking with each other. A
looker-on remarked, 'I'm sure L see two
presidents in that group, and 1 don't see
double either, because there's no wine here
o-night."
Hon. Larkin d. Mason, a veteran New
Hampshire politician, writes to the Boston
Globe that be thinks the majority of the Re.
publicans of the Granite State would be for
Blaine, brt would consent to Bristow if it
was made to appear reasonable that he, and
he only could carry New York.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1876-05-20

Congressman Hurlburt, of Illinois, has
gone home for few days. He said in Chica-
go that he thinks Mr.. Blaine will be nomina-
ted, and that this is the prevailing opinion at
Washington. He believes that Mr.. Blaine is
indeed the best man for the emergency, but
should the Convention fail to nominate him,
he thinks Gov. Hayes, of Ohio, would be the
nominee.
In the recent senatorial canvass in Texas
Gov. Coke publicly gloried in his confeder-
ale record and promised to repeat it if nec-
essary. His principal competitor was Con-
gresham John Hancock, and the issue was
plainly and squarely between Hancock's
record for loyalty to the Union and Coke's
record for disloyalty. The fact that the lat
ter won shows what sort of people the Texas
Democrats are in this centennial year.
The Hon. E. d. Mansfield, who, as Mark
Twain would remark has an excellent ear for
statistics and figures, has analyzed the vote
of New Hampshire. The changes in the
vote were: Reduction Of Democratic vote.
1000; increase of Republican vote, 5000;
increase of whole vote, 1000. The Republi-
can majority, then, was made up of 1000 in.
crease Of vote, 1000 who bad voted the Dem
ocratic ticket in 1874, and the residue from
the temperance vote. This, Mr.. Mansfield
considers very significant sign.
