Comment on the Action OF the Republics n
Caucus.
| NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Posts Washing
| ton special says: AS result Of the Republi-
can caucus last night the Republican mem
bers talk more confidently about the future
prospects of their party than they have for a
/ year past. Comments on last nights pro-
ceedings are very favorable and there is gen
eral gral ification that nothing was done to
create further differences between the Presi-
dent and some members Of the party. There
was not that criticism Of the Presidents g
! course which some of his friends expected,
and the conservative tone manifested by most
| of the ultra leaders, who are known to be op-
posed to the policy pursued by the admins
! tration, OCCASION d no little surprise.
The leading Democra 8 admit that the
action OF their opponents will make the con.
necessitate extraordinary efforts on their
site t6 retain eentFel Of the Honse Of Repre-
sentatives, if the campaign is conducted
upon liberal basis.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Further details OF

all winter propose to quit now until the

No member or Senator who would be likely

seems to have yielded everything for the
sake Of party harmony.
1t is asserted by prominent Republicans
who are intimate friends of Hayes, that the

man about twenty years of age. He was a
member of the Presbyterian church In

But Miss Davis would not give herself up
exclusively to Haddock, whose passion for
her amounted to insanity. Israel Jones. a
former suitor for the hand of Miss Davis
returned to Ferndale, and renewed his ac-
quaintance. Haddock could not brook a
rival. He SO told the girl and last night he
first stabbed her in several places, and then

Haddock then proceeded to his home where

Ex-yiov. SWAMI has to leave his State
20 to New York to get an opinion and
rehash 1t in opposition to the Silver Bill.
Very well, his time in Congress is APP
preaching termination. The Democ>
racy of Baltimore will recur to the time
when he, as a Know>Nothing, protected
the Baltimore roughs at the polls, while
they stuck avis in the Democrats who
dared 10 approach through the crowd to
vote. The Maryland Democracy can
hardly wish to conform to Wall streets
opinions. They, like Delaware, have
been taxed already more than their fair
share. 1t must not be forgotten by our
people that Senator Salisbury proved
very clearly in the Senate, in a speech at
the last session, that little Delaware had
paid to the government fifteen millions
of dollars in the last fifteen years.
And while the United States owes
Delaware about one m,llion Of dollars for
money paid as bounties for soldiers, no
man has ever asked for its payment
Other states have been paid, and The
people of Delaware having furnished these
soldiers to the Union army are entitled
to repayment, all the more because she
did 1t at sacrifice of feeling and endured
the severest political oppression all the
while the war continued by the rascally
officials who were rebbing us through
the Provost Marshals, aid they were
aided in this work by the "loyal' papers
