WORKING UP A CLAIM.

TRYING TO GET PAY FROM THE GOVERN
MENT FOR ARMS TAKEN FROM THIS
STATE DURING THE LATE WAR.
At the recent session of the General
Assembly, resolution was adopted au-
thorizing the Attorney-Ge to pro-
ceed to collect any claim the State might
have against the general government for
arms and accoutrements taken from this
State by the United States authorities
durin; The late war.
The resolution provided that none of
the States money should be used to work
up these claims, but if the Attorney-Gen-
eral was unable to find the records and
other evidence belonging to the State, to
show tue taking of such arms and accou-
trements, he was empowered to contract
with an agent, Cat per centum rate on
the amount collected not to exceed twen-
ty per cent? for the collection of such
claims.
Under the provisions of this resolution
the Attorney-General commenced opera
tions, but being unable to find any State
records or evidence, he employed Mr..
Wales, claim agent of Washington, to
assist him in his operations. They are
now in Wilmington, and last evening,
took the dispositions of six persons who
were concerned in the capture, by the
General Government of the arms and ac-
coutrements owned by the Delaware
State Guards and other local military Or
CARNATIONS, at the beginning of the late
war.
One of these parties, Col. Peter McCul-
Tough, testified that by order of the Pro-
vost Marshal, he made seizure of arms
at Camden, and took away seven wagon
loads.
The others testified to other seizures at
various places. The arms and accoutfe-
ments thus taken were removed from
arsenals at Wilmington, New Castle,
Middletown, Dover, Camden and George
town, and altogether were valued at from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Mr.. Wales, the agent retained by the
Attorney-General has recovered similar
claims for other States, including $780,
600 for Maryland, and considers the
claim of this State very good and sound
one.

GOSPEL TEMPERANCE.

The gospel temperance M eting OPEN

monies LIST evening, with one exception,
and that was that choir of young men
gathered around the organ and sang some
beautiful hymns. Rev. DIR. Hicks believ-
ed that TO make the present revival last
ing it must be conducted in the same
spirit of love which animated Christ in
his work on earth. Mr.. A. J. Bowen, ed
itor of the Temperance World, of Chester
Pa, spoke Of the great success of the
temperance movement in Delaware Co.,
Pa, and wished particularly to impress
upon those who had signed the pledge
not to rely upon what is termed their
manhood, as he had tried that and made
a complete failure. He urged them, in
stead to rely upon Gods help and they
would live and die, not only reformed,
but redeemed men.

CAMP MEETINGS.
THEIR GROWING
NUABER DECREASING YEAR BY YEAR,

NUMBER DECREASING YEAR BY YEAR.
Camp meetings which were so popular
with the Methodist societies forty years
ago on this Peninsula are becoming more
unpopular every year. In the early days
OF Methodism they were means Of great
spiritual interest to the Church and sea-
sons OF blessed memory. Our fathers. by
whom they were instituted, were plain
practlcal men who looked after the sub
stance OF christianity and drank from the
spiritual fountain. They were plan un-
ostentatlous people and looked not upon
the show and glitter of the world with
favor.
VI late years camp meetings have come
TO be too much mixed up with the world,
and money making has become TOO much
an object with members of the church.
The privileges of camps are now sold to
lhe highest bidder at ruinous prices !;
boarding tents conducted on hotel princi-
pies, and for high living and display of
edibles, rival first class hotels of our
principal cities. The gay and the giddy
frequent camp meetings in these days TO
promenade, aud clad in gaudy attire, make
display of their clothes and personal
charms. These and various other causes
have tended to destroy the spirituality
OF the church and render camp meetings
unpopular. The numbers of camps are
gradually decreasing year by year. The
number to be held this year will be very
few in comparison to those held in past
years, and the time is coming when they
too will be among the things of the past

A BIRD WITH BRACELET On We'd
nesday robin was observed flying over
the town of Georgetown, with something
in its beak, which it dropped TO the
street, and which, on examination, prov
ed to be a gold bracelet. The event
caused considerable excitement among
the wlseacres, and among the predictions
was one by the SUSSEX Journal to the eff
feet that the incident foretold shower OF
gold, which it hoped would fall around
the Journal office.
