Joo II. Jdckson's Return.-In these
times the exhibition of gratitude and
good will toward employers is rare, and
none the less to be esteemed. If a friend
is in difficulty it is the part Of Christian
kindness to help him out. and let the
explanation come aftsrward. And no
doubt it was with this sentiment uppei
most in their minds that the employees
of the Jackson Il Sharp Company, of this
city. proceeded to the railroad depot
with band of music this morning at an
early hour to welcome home Mr.. job
II. jackson, on the arrival of the cars
from Baltimore. 1t was a kindly act in
those men, and We give them praise for
standing by their employer. 1t will be
time enough for them TO harbor mis-
trust Of him when they are assured that
he is not innocent. We have heard nc
one say ought against Mr.. Jackson ex-
cept TO complain of his escaping from
Sheriff Wells.
But this act Of kindness on the part Of
the employees has its counterpart il
Atlanta, Georgia, where the white peo
pie, we were in formed by telegraph
late Saturday afternoon, met Mr.. Jack
son and offered to go his bail in million
Of dollars if necessary. THIS was beau
tiful tribute to the business men of VII
mington as well as to Mr.. Jackson; an,
showed confidence worthy of emula
tion in all time.It was worth little suf
ferlng on the part of any man to brinl
it forth and it is possible it will prov
profitable in promoting a more Christian
spirtiin some who have used such term
toward the people of Atlanta, since tn
arrest of Nj. jackson as ought, never t
have been permitted to escape from tn
| lips of gentlemen.

ADoRN THE HIGHWAYS.

Ii the Council is anxious to pend mon
ey usefully, let it adorn the highways
leading TO the city. Make the drives
from the country so pleasant as to at
tract the country people to come here
and spend their money. This could be
done at q very small cost. Ii each road
leading into the city had nice sodded
foot-path shaded by trees for a mile from
the city so that the people could walk
out into the country without exposing
themselves to the searching summer sun,
they would prefer it 10 a park. The
trees upon the causeway through the
Christiana marsh cost but triEing sum
in comparison to the protection and plea
sure they afford and We believe the
people would approve of the action ant
cheerfully pay the cost if the Council
would contract for planting trees on eacl
side OF all the highways leading to tn
city. Afler this is done we shall proba

PARKs.--It is an open question aud
may we'll be debated whether 1t Is right
to take large sums Of money out of the
general tax fand of the city to ornament
and adorn any single section with parks
and drives. Parks are very good things
in their way. But the best way for them
TO come is Through legacies. They are
costly enough then through the impreve-
ment, care and attention they require.
We will present a case. A poor, hard
working man saves little money and
buys lot in one section, perhaps at a
high price. The city buys at high price
a park half q mile away. Those who
would have bought and built in the re-
gion where the poor man purchased con-
clude not to do so, but to go near the
proposed park and buy and build. Here
is the city interruptlng trade at once. 1t
is adding taxes upon the poor mans lot
and all others, and thus depressing them
in that way while it interferes with the
laws of trade in its purchase also, and
prevents the hoped for rise in the price Of
the lot Of the poor man, and it may be
cause it to fall fifty per cent. We submit
the question, is 1t fair?
We cite again: many persons bought
lots in the eastern section of the city TWEEN.

land. The county placed bridge al

this side; the price, like water, equaliz

But if parks must be bought, let then
be bought because they are offered at low
figures not because the Council deem i
proper TO relieve any one Of bad specu
latien, such as the Brandywine has pro

HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN

We are assured that the Radical Republi-
cans i'll the South have become odious be-
yond all precedent in the hi story of parties.
This is attested to by every white man who
comes from the South. And we don't know
that We haveseen this opinion more strong
ly backed up by any writer than by the fol-
lowing editorial from the Repuotlcd,, ol
this city, which We copy below. II speaks
for Itself and shows that the great mass OF
the people, white and black, have lost all
confidence in the villainons Radical lead
ers who have robbed every State WHERE
they have had control, and plunged them
into suoh enormous debts that the peopl,
would do patriotic duty if they would re
pudiate every dollar of debt incurred by
the rascally negro F Federal- -bayonet legis

We would call attention to the
important address of the Greenback
party of Dakota county which appears
elsewhere. 1t exhibits the right splr-
it. There is no reason why Minnesota
should not poll next year as large q
greenback vote rs Wisconsin polled
this year to wit, $4,000. The men
who have led off in the movement
in Minnesota are however few in
number and generally poor in pocket
If committees would take hold in the
spirit manifested by the Dakota coun-
tv address we would soon sweep the
state. Let our friends correspond
with the committee rs suggested, and
not only furnish them points for the
address but also give them the names
of parties to whom to send copies.

The spectacle presented by the SEN
ate of the United States is neither
dignified nor attractive. The whole
contest is about the spoils. Not a
word is said about the condition OF
the country, or the millions of work
meu who have been, for months past,
living on starvation rations. The sue
cessors of Clay and Webster are in an
agony over collectorships, marshal
ships, and post-otfices. The carpet
bag senator from South Carolina,
Patterson. is under indictments in the
state he represents and dares not re-
turn to it. The democrats, it is
claimed by the republicans are terror
ling him to vote with them under the
threat of the penetentiary; while the
republicans are bullying and BULLDOG
ing him in shameful manner; where
upon Patterson retorts by attacking
Hayes for abandoning and destroying
the republican party in the south.
Altogether it is a dirty buck basket
full of dirty linen, too dlrty.to be
washed in the face of the world.

One of the things that has aston
ished us. in the discussion of the
financial question. is the apathy of
the mercantile glasses. They are, of
all men, most sensible to the breath
of popular prosperity or adversely;
they are the creatures of credit.
standing between those whom they
owe and those who owe them; if the
country is miSgoverned they are the
first to suffer. And yet they have
gone on suffering. failing. dropping
into poverty, without any attempt to
investigate the causes of their mis-
fortunes; and satisfied with some of
the barren platitudes about hard-mon-
ey or rag-babies. If the mercantile
classes, would look Il little deeper into
these great issues, they would see that
their prosperity is a mere consequence
of the prosperity of the mass of the
people.
These thoughts are suggested to us
by the following from that excellent
Greenback journal. the New Haven
(Conn.) Union:
Yesterday we published the com
ments of 4 prominent Chapel street
merchant on the Workingmen' S move
ment. He declared that the leglsla-
ton of the Republican party for the
past four years had cost him twenty
| thousand dollars. because it had Sc
oppressed the laboring classes that
they were unable to trade with him
and were generally in miserable con
dition. He felt that his interests
were with the Workingmen. and
therefore he proposed to support here
after the political organization which
IS seeking to improve the condition OF
the masses. He could not enter the
Democratic party because he found
its leaders here in the East joining
hands with the Republicans in al
their monopoly schemes

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Cabinet
convened at ~ A. M, and remained in
session till near 1 P. NJ, when recess
was taken till O'Clock, in order to per-
nit members of the Cabinet to attend to
important business in their several De-
partments.
The entire session was devoted to the
consideration of the case OF South Caro-
lima. Attorney General Devens pre-
sented all the papers filed with him on
the SUBJECT by the representatives OF the
rival claimants. Up to the hour OF rf-
cess, however, no decision had been
reached nor was there any indication
as to what the result would be.
Later Developments
regarding the discussion at, the Cabinet
meeting to-day lead to the belief which
is held that the final decision Of the Cab
iuet will result in an order withdrawing
the Federal forces from all interference
in the internal affairs Of South Carolin d,
which is qaivalent to giving Hampton

WHERE HONEY FALLS FROM HEAVEN
In CONVERSATION with a. j. Dutur not
long since, says the Sacramento Record
Union, he informed us that he had come
across strip OF country three miles
wide, stretching southwest from The
Willamette River, near Oregon City, to
the Cascade Mountains, which is natu-
raj honey-producing district. In the
foothills OF the mountains the honey dew,
which is peculiar TO this district within
the boundaries which it covers, fails so
heavily as to iDcrust the foliage.
Throughout this belt OF country, bees
are better off than bees In clover, for
they literally serape up the ready made
honey, and, alter filling their hives,
build and fiji combs on the outside. Mr..
Dufur says that ne saw eight pounds
of honey taken from the under side OF q
pole stretched across ience. 1t would
be very interesting region for natural
its to investigate, especially as no salts
factory solution OF the phenomenon has
ever yet been reached, and this espe-
cial locality seems to develop the So
called honey dew year after year in re-
markable quantity.
