pointment Of tax collectors. It appears to
us that the advocates Of the proposed
measure, even giving them credit for what
they do not deserve, are cropping in the
dark. The true cause Of many Of our
troubles lie in our judicial system, and our
course of judicial proceedings. This may
seem strange at first sight; but it is no less
true. The judges Of our State are well
paid for what they do; but their annual
pay is disgracefully low. 1t would be
profitable to the State to pay its judges
and Chancellor at least $4,000 each, and
cast upon them the functions Of supervising
the decisions of the Levy Court, the Board
of Assessment, City Councils, and any
other bodies Of q public character. With
a judiciary fully paid for its work, eur
present system would suit all purposes.
The oppressive character of Sec. Is Of
the bill, smacks of the worst days Of
Feudal wrong.doing. A poor mans bed
and cooking utensils may be sold for poll
tax, due to a municipality in which he is
inhibited from holding Office! If his
goods cannot satisfy the tax collector, he
may be dragged to Jail without trial, and
imprisoned without day as delinquent
tax paper. The felon below the grade Of
a capital offender, may be released on bail
or maniprise, but the poor delinquent tax
able is,to be kept in safe custody-un-
til their mightiness, the Municipal olisar-
chy of Wilmington chooses to let him go
free!
In the same section there is anotheri rinice
little arrangement to rob the poor, and
charge rate of interest that is. absolutely
appalling. A poor carter or laborer has
his hone sold for taxes, one ofthe munich
pal ring buys it-most mercifully the.poor
man is permitted to redeem his house,
Within two years, upon payment Of "twen-
ty per cent. per annum, and costs" Will
the Democracy of Delaware be party to
such oligarchical oppression?
Send the word along the line; that the
bill in question is intended to curtail the
rights of the poor, and to hand over the
State to the Republican party.

WILMINGTON, March IL, 1877:
DIsFRANCHIsEME lAPSIsON
MENT.

ture of this State, which in some of its fea-
lures, is almost satanic in its malignant
discrimination against the poor. 1t is
called an act to further amend the char
ter of the city Of Wilmington" The pro-
per title would be "an act to disqualify
poor men from holding Office: to create
municipal oligarchy in Wilmington; and
to capture the State of Delaware, by
means of the city of Wilmington, for the
Republican party" The bill is 80 faulty
that safe rule for the Legislature, would
be to appoint committee to report upon
it in 1879, if it is tinkered at, and passed
in any shape, it will be a rueful act, for
the members of the Legislature to answer
to the people.
The first section is an insolent impeach-
ment of manhood. The adulterer, the
usurer, the oppressor Of the poor-a Chad
band, Carker or Pangloss would be
eligible to be member CT the "Board Of
Assessment" if he is "a freeholder Of not
less value than 81 ,000." The hunk who sent
his children out into the world, to slave in
factory, shop, or farm, before their very
bones had hardened-if by their wages he
acquired $1,000 freehold, would be eligi-
BILE; but the high minded father, whose
pride was to live in his children not by
dollars, but living men, whose deeds would
make his name unperishable IF through
elf sacrifice he was not 1reeholder, the
Legislature is asked to ban him, with the
ignoble badge of incompetency to perform
function Of his citizenship. 1t is high
time to end this aristocratic, and vile at
tempt, to create caste. We again assert
that the renter is the taxpayer fully, and
beyond the owner-the hard listed mechan.
ic who rents freehold, is the taxpayer
upon it, and for all municipal purposes
ought to be so considered. The members
of Newcastle County were elected by the
votes of the working men of the Democ
racy. We are certain the men SO elected
will not by voting for the bill, disfranchist
their constituents.
The first section of the bill shows th'
Shiny trace Of the politicians-it provides
for minority representation in the Roart
of Assessment, but in the event of death
removal, &c, the bill makes no provision
to insure that the successor elected, shall
be of the same political party as the on
displaced. The only fair way, as the "im
mortal eight" has proven, to regulate any
thing of political character is to have al
exact equality Of numbers politically
Minority representation is farce. Bu
even so, the bill we are reviewing is in
tended to cheat the minority.
The geographical arrangement of dis
tricts is fixed up to perpetuate the rule G
the municipal ring in Wilmington, and il
the end dominate over the State. !
casual observer cannot fail to notice that a
least three Republican assessors would b
elected in Wilmington in September mex
Thier assessment would practically be tn
basis Of franchise, and we all must hav
lively recollections how Republican ma
jori;y treated us during the war.
So long as the county, through the Lev
Court, practically regulates our taxation,
were wisdom to leave with it the a.
