THERE has been much complaint, par
ticularly this winter, with regard to the
rates charged by pilots on the Delaware.
Ship owners and captains of vessels claim
that the pilotage from the Capes to Phila-
delphia are excessive. A bill Is now be-
fore the Legislature to establish new
schedule of rates, making a general re-
duction of about 10 per cent. 1t has the
endorsement of the leading ship owners
and agents of ofPhiladelphia, land will doubt
less prove of benefit to the commerce of
this port. We hope it will become law.

WILMINGTON, March 8, 1877:
EDITORIAL VARIETIES.

IT is no doubt natural that many sincere
and earnest Democrats should find it hare
to understand how the Democratic mem
bers of the Electoral Commission could
have consented to go on with the proceed
ings of that body after the decision, by
eight to seven, of the Florida case had
made it perfectly plain that the majority
of the commission had no other intention
than to validate every vote for Hayes,
and to invalidate every vote for Tilden
which was submitted to them. But such
Democrats should reflect in Justice to those
members of the commission that any such
course on their part would have exposed
them and the whole Democratic party with
them to the imputation of wilfully break
ing up a tribunal which was pressed upon
the country by Democratic leaders. The
Republicans could always have claimed
that their eight Commissioners might have
decided differently in other cases upon
other grounds As "The World" main
tanned at the outset, when so many trusted
Democratic leaders were urging this device
upon Congress, it was mistake to diyest
the House Of its powers in behalf Of an
Electoral Commission. 1t would have
made that original mistake tenfold worse
to have abandoned the commission before
its unworthy Republican members had
filled full the measure of their shame. 4 S
Mr.. Morrison plainly says in very sharp
and outspoken letter. to some of his constit-
uents, the commission, once SET up was
hailed with approval by pretty nearly the
whole country and it would have been
idle for anJ Democrat to attempt TO con-
vince the country of its true constitution
and intent until it had worked itself out to
the end. 1t is equally idle, we may add,
TOR Democrats now to fall into impotent
recriminations over the past. Let US send
the wounded to the rear as fast as decency
and humanity will allow, close up the
ranks, and face the future with its new du
ties like men IN. Y. World.

A BILL prohibiting intermarriage be-
tween first cousins is now pending in the
Legislature of Michigan. It's claims to
enactment into law is based upon the
well.founded belief, that the offspring of
such marriages is apt to be weakminded,
inclined to idioey, and not unfrequently to
insanity, and as such unfortunately gen
orally become burdens upon the State, it
is desirable on the grounds of mere cxpe-
diency, that there shall be, as far as posi-
BILE, a legal prohibition of the causes lead
ing to such results.
The Morning herald., 1877-03-06

UNGRACIoUs AND ILLoG1CAL.-There
is an apparent effort now among some not
over-large Democratic politicians to dis
parage Mr.. Tilden as the candidate of
their party. This is not only ungracious
but illogical and stupid, seeing that Mr..
Tilden carried the country by over
quarter of million of the popular vote,
and by not less than twelve, and perhaps
eighteen votes in the Electoral Colleges
besides cutting down immense Republican
majorities to insignificant ones in States
that that party managed to retain. There
was ne doubt great revolt against the
past scandaIous rule that would have
shown much ofits strength with any re.
spectacle Democratic candidate, but in Mr..
Tilden the qualities of an able reformer
had been 80 markedly displayed that the
people of the country at once rallied to
his support. They elected him but he is
not President. The small inimical politi.
clans are those who are the least wronced
in the premises. 1t was Mr.. Tilden's rec.
ord as retormer and reform Governor
OF New York, that commanded the con.
tidencc of the country, that forced his nom
ination on the convention at St. Louis. and
gave him his unprecedented vote Of 4,30O,-
0oo at the polls. 1t is to be feared that
the causes that have excited the ill.will of
the small politicians against him are the
same which were at work in New York to
prevent his nomination, and which would
be found working against any man who
was really and truly reformer-Balti-
more SIN.

The leaves ofthe coffee tree promise to
become as important as the berry, perhaps
more so. The leaves contain notable
proportion of the curious double salt which
is called cafein when derived from coffee,
and thein when derived from tea, but is
the same in either case, and affects the
nervous system similarly. 1t is true
coffee and tea differ in their effects on the
nervous system, and while the consump-
ton Of tea increases that of coffee decrea-
ses. But the difference of action is not
due to any difference Of essential or fun
damental property, but to the accidental
accompaniment of roasted coffee contain.
ing fatty matter, albumen and glucose
which are scarcely traceable in tea. But
the leaves of the coffee tree are nearly des-
ttute of these accidental accompaniments,
and contain a large proportion Of the stim-
ulating property which renders the leaf of
the tea tree so refreshing and generally ac-
ceptable. There can be no doubt at all
that the reasonable use of coffee and tea in
their customary forms is beneficial, for
they are not only stimulants, but true nu-
ttients, the infusion Of good sample of
either containing nitrogen in form suited
to appropriation in the organism, and
therefore contributory to the fabric.

really admirable qualities Of the new col
ors produced by Croissant and Bretoomere
have excited much interest in France.
These newly invented beautiful colors are
permanent, and include nearly all the tints
known to housekeeping red, blue and
green, with their notifications. The dye
will prove a substitute for logwood, and its
cost is as one to FIVE Of the latter. Nothing
can effect their durability except it be con.
centrated chlorine. The variety Of shades
are not produced by mixture, but by
regulation in the temperature to which the
color is exposed in the course Of manufac.
ture. They are all soluble in water, and
are precipitated by minerals as we'll as by
organic acids. Silk, cotton and linen are
dyed equally well by these colors, the
practice being as follows: The colors are
dissolved iii hot water, and the goods are
stepped and turned in the solution from
thirty to forty-ffve minutes they are
next fixed by hot solution Of bichromate
of potash, in which they are left for about
fifteen minutes, washed with pure water
in the case of wool and silk to remove ex-
cess of alkali, and they are then placed in
alkaline bath made up with one pound Of
soda to forty-seven quarts Of water, aud
washed finally with clear water.
