has resolved TO see Due de Audifret Pas
quier and N. Jules Grevy and assure
them that in spite OF the various repre-
sentations made TO them by various Sena.
tors and Deputies, the Parliamentary In.
stitutions are not in danger. It appears
certain that various groups OF the Lett
look on u. Dufanae az the future Presi-
dent Of the Republic. The Left Centre
Deputies resolved that they would not
vote for direct taxes as long as President
McMahon continues to resist. They will,
however, vote for indirect taxes, but only
by instalments. The latest advices, how
ever, indicate that rumors Of possible
arrangement are gaining consistenCe.

LONDON PRESS on ENGLISH POLICY.
LONDON, November 29.-The Times and
Daliy Nars unqualltedly approve Of Lord
Derby's declarations regarding Englands
policy in the East. Those journals which
usually support the Government find
them very Unsatisfactory.
The Standard fnds cause for dissatis-
faction in the absence Of any reference to
the possibility OF separate peace be-
tween Russia and Turkey, and saya in
conclusion that England has stake in
the issue OF the conflict which it is i'm
possible for her to forget or ignore. OF
bystanders abe ia mostly interested in
either Of the only two possible results
total collapse Of Turkey or private ar
rangemsnt between her and Ruasia. Any
day may bring Us news OF either event.
When that day comes how shall We be
prepared for il? That's question which
English people are now asking themselves
and we are sorry that Earl Derby can't
give US anything more comforting than
the well worn assurance that Coustanti-
nople is not to pass into Russian hands.

speedy collapse of nostrums devoid of efficacy

READ AND LEARN FOR YoURsELF.

Many valuable discoveries and much useful
knowledge is kept from the world, because of
the immense expense in making them known to
the people. This is not the case with BosoHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP, although but few years in
trodueed into this country, its sale now
reaches in every town and village in the o. S.
Its wonderful success in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Asthma, and all other diseases
of the throat and lungs, was first made known
by distributing every year, for three years,
over 400, 900 bottles to the afflicted, free of
charge, by Druggists. No such a test of merit
was ever given before to any other prepara-
tion. Could you ask more? Go TO your
druggist, H. Chamberlaine, Middletown, or

and try it. Sample bottles 10 cents.

Dover Letter.
The Railroad Bill "A Representa- tIves
MishRP-DOver Affairs
euoe of the Transcript.

Special Correspondence of the Transcript
Dover, Feb. 9th, 1877.
The Senate bill in relation to the sale of
railroads was a bomb ard will PROBABLY ex-
pode in the House and destroy itself, leaving
behind marks Of something similar to investi-
cation. This bill has an origin with pur-
pose Of bene6tting few, and its supporters
may not be astonished if their designs appear
in print.
An interesting divorce bill was introduced
in the House this week, praying the separa-
ton Of Mr.. Southland, n resident of Will
mlngton, from his wife Tie circumstances
leading to this petition cannot be published,
but the provocation is SO great, and yet so
ludicrous, as to warrant the favorable report
ing of the bill by the committee to whom it
was referred.
As it was convenient, paid visit 10 the
House on Monday afternoon last, and it SO
happened that bewildering sight met nay
eyes as l entered. Did l say happened? Well,
that's wrong, for it is a u sual sight There
was one member asleep, another doing, some
reading, one or two writing, and but three
or four taking any interest in the proceedings,
except it was Hamlet Crutchfield of the Ebsry
Ecening or Quixots Salisbury of the Dela-
sOarean. These two jolly reporters take things
down easy and silently, but when 81 move
we adjourn" is seconded they are Of more i'm
portance than Representative.
In the Senate more cheering aspect greets
you, for Mr.. Ray is wanting to know why the
colored people have right to do wrong, and
Mr.. Sharpley tells him plainly. Sebastian
Kirk Of the Commercial, throws himself back
in bis chair and longs for the sessions close,
while Monsieur Fowler of the Gazstts hastily
takes up his note book and makes for the
door. As the Levy Court has been in session
this week. Dover has had many visitors, who,
after court business is over with, generally
pay the Legislature a visit, SO the lobby has
had more life than usual.
The act changing the charter of the PENN
sula Agricultural and Pathological Associa-
ton has been read second time in the
House. There is no doubt but that it will
finally pass both Houses.

twelve feet high. To wonder whose import
ance could demand such a solid remembrance
was my 6rst impulse, but when the name Of
'JohB N. Clayton" came in view, all the his-
torical "reminiscences Of this great man came
to my mind. and this monument seemed but
shadow as to what ought to have been IN
its place. STATESMAN, Jurist, Farmer" All,
yes the memory Of that craftsmanship haun's
the Oldest DelawAreans sacredly, while its
purity Is handed down to youths as glori-
Gus example. Near this monument is one
erected to the memory Of Hon. Thos. Clayton,
man once honored for his purity Of charac-
ter and superior qualities as jurist. Near
the entrance to the church is The monument
erected by the State to the memory Of Col.
John Haslet. It is unnecessary TO recall any
of his history, for it could not recommend any
citizen of this State, or any body, if he we're
unacquainted with this brave old soldier. /
may here state that the services in the Pres
byteriau Church have been seriously inter
fered with by the illness Of its pastor, Rev.
Cyrus Huntington however, be is now slowly

INGENUITY.
Last Saturday night Loockermau street was
thronged with persons of the opposite
color, who dressed their internal affairs in
the same manner as their external proper
tions-good whiskey, good clothes. The
whiskey predominated (as it invariably does
and SO Mr. Lewis and Mr.. johnson forgot
their untarnished apparel and fought quite
lively over the disputed question as to who
basked the most in the affections offs colored
lady. The result of the affair was that the
town constables arrested the pugilsts, rushed |
them before Squire Dickson, who as speedily |
rushed them to jail in default of 50 80 fine
Thus Dover justice impels purity of dress and
drink to go behind the bars and weep at its
folly.
DECISION REACHED.
That remarkable dog case which ! spoke
Of last week, Ennis U.s. Seward, closed last
Friday, when decision was made in favor of
plaintiff Seward was fined $50, and had to
pay costs. Two days and half trial over a
dog But this is not the end of the affair
Seward now intends to sue Ennis for trespass-
ing on his land and for hitting COW over the
head. Ofcourse this is spite work, but Sew
lrd has plain case, and in all probability
will cucumber Ennis with costs and fine
equal to $4,000.
HEAVIER THAN A sLooP.
A Representative told me on Wednesday
tight that Mr.. Bar-thol-O-p'stU, Of the House
vent down to the mouth of Jones' creek TO
ret some oysters. He stepped on the sloop
md his weight was so great that there would
probably have been capsizing had not some
me pulled him back on the wharf. The
flair created intense excitement-among the
that evening.
