REMARKABLE SUCCEss.-The old
"Bank of Delaware" now known as the
"National Bank of Delaware" has at
tanned the most notable position among
banking corporations. The par value OF
the stock of this institution is 5000, and
yet it sold yesterday at the Philadelphia
Exchange, at auction, at the high figure
of $500 share. This high position has
been attained by no speculative move
ment, but by the careful management OF
its Directors,the chief of whom is HENRY
IATIMER, ESQ.,, who was its President
for about forty years, and only resigned a
year ago. He was succeeded by HENRY
G. BANNING, ESQ.,, another careful and
sagacious gentleman, well suited to occu-
py the vacancy created by the resignation
of one so remarkably successful in his
management. In 1850, while travelling
in Canada, when most of the notes of the
old State banks were at a discount, we
found the notes of this institution passed
as readily as gold or silver. The Bank
now pays a regular dividend OF $50 a
year on its shares. So that at $500 it nets
about seven per cent. annually.

Further Cabinet Consideration of The
Change Of Date.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The subject
of the change in the date of the extra ses'
sion to October was considered in the
Cabinet to-day in connection with the
criticisms of the press, and it was decid-
ed that it was generally received with
approval.
The President says he call Congress
together before that time in the event
of foreign complications or any other
cause that should reOder such action
necessary, Under existing circum
stances, however the date will stand.
The delay in the time of meeting will
not embarras the President in the com
pletion. OF the diplomatic list.

to the extent Of six Or seven million dol
lars on scrip that can now be bought for
less than three per cent. of course, the
fact that the redemption of these bonds
would increase by millions the burdens
of the already almost ruined taxpayers OF
South Carolina, does not affect the calcu-
lations of the speculators, or of Cham
berlain, their attorney.

PRESIDENT HAYES ND HIS PARTY.
There is no doubt at all that resident
Hayes is disappointing the men who
take credit to themselves for his election.
And in no place is the President more
unpopular with this faction of his pn -ty
than in Ohio, his own State. Here in
Delaware the real working men Of the
Radical party are very lukewarm, and
some of the more open and fearless Re-
pubhcans openly declare that Tilden was
elected and ought to have been inaugu-
rated. They do not go so far as to de-
nounce Hayes openly to Democrats, but
hey do to their own partiZaps, and say
even to Democrats they would as leave
have an honest Democrat in the office as
Hayes if he allows himself to be govern
ed by such men as Evarts, Key and Dev-
ems, who are known not to be in sympa-
thy with Phillips, Blaine and Butler, the
real thinkers and leaders of the Radical
organization.
But perhaps the most pointed objec-
tion that has yet come to the President is
made known through the correspondents
from Washington. The statement which
thus comes to'us is that "Republican
from Ohio who arrived in Washington on
Monday, went to the White House and
gave them some pretty plain talking. He
said if the election in Ohio was to come
off tomorrow the Republicans would not
carry single county in the State. Ii
was impossible, he said, to have concep-
tion Of the universal dissatisfaction of the
party in Ohio unless by personal obser
vation. The republicans here though
that tine President was giving his entire
time and attention to the South, and ig-
noring his own party and his own section
absolutely. The gentleman who thu:
unburdened his mind is not an office
seeker himself, but some of his friend
have been we'll provided for through HI
influence, and it is not unnatural tina
the President thought such talk littl
ungrateful, and particularly when he ha
been condemned elsewhere for making s
many Ohio appointments"
Undoubtedly this is fair statement G
the condition of things throughout tn
country. The men who think they pu
Mr.. Hayes in power have been feeding &
the public crib for ten or fifteen years, an
their chief aim was to continue to hol
Office at the high rate of pay. This the
find they cannot now do so easily-th
many of them are being reduced to 'con
mon life" by Mr.. Hayes action, al
many more Of them find that there is ]
chance for getting into the places tn,
hoped and expected to get through Il
influence of friends. Here is the seer
to the real cause Of complaint.
But Mr., Hayes may snap his fingers
these people. He may say that in casti
from him the true sense Of the hight
honor and STOPPING so low as to take
office to which Mr.. Tilden was fail
elected, he made sacrifice enough; a
that now if they do not choose to ia
such offices as he pleases to give the
they could refuse and get nothing.
does not follow that because rogues I
Hayes in office he should become a roe
also. And we hope, for the sake of
country, that he will resolve to do rig
and in so far as he does right he may
sustained by the Democrats.
