The Herald endorsed by the Mn-

II for ma educational qualification,
and the pr1ot Of the payment OF
taxes, to abalc, us We cannot en-
tircIy .'io away with the evil
Whether it is the proper time or
not 10 discuss this question, We are
not prepared To assert, but the
time is not distant when it will be-
come Il lradins topic in all our
journals. The right If suffrage IN
the first place Was at unexpected
boon, if il deserves that name, /"
the negro, conferred gu him Tor the
''N
masrsi political purposes, is grant
Ors knowing that So large an sISno'
rant voting population would c''nH
t. the power that clnimcd to give
them freedom, and was alone capa
hlc Of extending tho benefits TO
their race. Not S"uthern white
man, WAS or il in favor OF negro
suffrage, unlc slrom sinister or per-
sonal motives. The only argument
in It's favor i, based OH the fact that
IL incro; SS Southern rel + scnta-
ton in Congress, and this nrgn.
ment, though il appeals TO our see
tional pride, is not as sound as ii
might appear. WHAT we gain j"

Like suckers from the truo Demo.

litical bargainers will fIOuiSh and
overshadow the true grim, choke

have no doubt suffrage is an un,
mitigated evil, an evil to botn ra-
Geo, and to the country. We have
seen some sensible colored mel
who admit this, and yet are oppos
5 ed to al abridgcmcnt much more
! m extinction of this right, or priv

Many of the Northern States be

taste, and nourished in the store-house
OF literature, he has the advantage of a
wider personal acquaintance withmodern
English and American authors, and his
memory is richly stored with the pearls
which fell from their lips, and incidents
connected with their appearance and

spoke for an hour in such delightful
vein as TO enlist the closest attention and

Ho,c Washington Looks.-A gentle
man who was in Washington, yesterday
says he never saw the city look better in
his life than it does at present. The gar
dens and public grounds are simply mag
nificent, while the public buildings are
in the best possible condition. This will
be pleasing information to those who
contemplate attending Plummer's grand
excursion to Washington Tomorrow
Those Who go will not only be able to
enjoy the attractions above enumerated
but will have an opportunity of seeing
both houses Of Congress in session. This
excursion will undoubtedly be one Of
the most popular ever given from this
city. The train will leave the p. w 4
B. R. r. depot at $50 O'Clock a. m.
This evening Mr.. Plummer's insurance
Office, in the Clayton House, will be
open from to o'clock, for the conve-
nience of those who wish to purchase
tickets.

The Markets.

The markets this morning on King St.
were not so largely attended by sellers
as on Saturday, although the supply was
equal to the demand. The prices have,
it seems, taken decided stand, and the
fluctuations are so slight that it is entire
ly unnecessary to quote every article, but
IN order that those who did not attend
the markets this morning, and perhaps
have forgotten the prices of last week, a
few quotations are appended.
Fresh butter was selling for 3S a 40

New Castle Letter.
NEW CASTLE. Oct. "a. 1a7

.5 NEW CASrLE, Oct. "a, 1877.
The town clock had just finished
striking nine as his honor the Mayor
open his court and the usual crowd of
attendants took up the be positions
for seeing and hearing. Their expecta-
lions were not realized to their full ex
tent as the case was merely one Of
"threats" and abusive language. His
honor with that smile so dreaded by
evil doors remarked, that 500 bail for
future good behavior would suffice-P
"r not having friend on hand
to sign the document was reman ded
to Fort Grubb.
The crowded condition of the coun-
ty prison is a su bject tn It should re-
ceive the attention of the Levy Court.
One large room is cow made to accom-
modate l8 or 20 female prisoners all of
whom have been sent over from Will
mington; the cell set aside for buns
and vagrants is crowded to 8 greater
extent. That petty crime should be ON
the increase in your city Is not sur
prising for the county prison instead
OF being of a reformatory character is
really school for crime, caused by the
over crowding of the cells. 1t is be-
coming evident that at least one half
of the cases sent to Court for trial
should be disposed of by the Magis-
Lrates.
One of our citizens doing business
near the river or rather the nearest to
the river on Delaware street whilst in
vestigating the ebb and flow of the tide
became so interested that he forgot where
the wharf ended and fell into the river
head foremost; he was quickly taken out
and at once called all hands who were
in sight to have segars; but it did leak out
and no fault of ours.

Funeral Of Gen. George r. Smith.

The funeral of the late Gen. George f.
Smith of the p. N. G., took place from
his late residence in West Chester, on
Monday afternoon, and was the largest
funeral ever witnessed in that borough.
AT o. clock the crowd of people around
the late residence of the deceased was
one of unusual proportions. For hours
persons filed past and took a last look of
the departed. The display of flowers was
the grave by a Masonic Lodge, several
posts of the G A. R., and also several of
the military companies of the State, and
