Tin regard to the investigation Of the
Florida frauds by the House Of Rep
resentatives, special dispatch to the
Philadelphia Times, under date Of
May the 9th, says: There was no
movement in the House towards the
investigation Of the Presidential ques-
ton to-day. The programme Of the
Democrats, according to high author
ity, is this: The House Judiciary
committee has received from the joint
Democratic advisory committee the
request to investigate. To-day the
Democratic members Of the judiciary
committee have been conferring among
themselves, and tomorrow the subject
will be considered BY the committee
proper. II is not certain that the
whole committee will decide to indorse
the views Of the Democratic joint ad-
visory committee, for inasmuch as the
Judiciary committee must ultimately
set up as judge it would not be deco r.
Gus, to take the part Of prosecutor
There is, however, no reason to think
that the Democratic majority Of the
judiciary committee will have such
scruples.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. O., May 8, 1873

WASHINGTON, D. O., May 8, 1878.
The Boston Post which is not only
an organ Of what may be called the
most conservative Democracy, but
which also has peculiar relations with
the monied men Of New England and
the East, uses the following language
i'll its issue of the 4th. "The PROPOSE
ton to investigate the electoral frauds
in Florida is eminently proper. The
threat Of the Republicans to compel
the extension Of the investigation to
other States is neither here nor there.
The one point to be considered is
this-that officers Of elections in Flor
ida have confessed to the criminal al
teration Of returns, which crime caus-
ed the declaration Of Hayes election.
Certainly such a confession il 90 grave
matter needs to be confirmed or con
tradicted. L is impossible to see how
a Congress having any regard for the
liberties Of the people or the security
rf our institutions could refuse to take
cognizance of such matter and trace
out its foundation. It is a case in
which partisanship is not to be con
7sidered, but the honor Of the nation. Z
Because of character, given above,
the utterances Of the Post are entitled
to great weight What it says goes
FAR to show that appropriate action by
Congress on the subject Of Mr.. HAYES
title, will not interfere with the gener-
eral business. There has been no de.
cent argument against investigation
but this. Our advices are that Eas.
tern Democrats are unit for investi.
cation.
The probabilities of war with
Mexico have bA4q revived to fill SC
far as they can the vacuum left by the
subsistence Of the Florida confession
business. The latest advices from oul
Southern.border, may be briefly sum
married as follows: Gen. Mcdowell
has advised the War Department thai
Mexicans and Indians from Sonorf
lately raiding in Arizona were pursu
ed to the border by his troops anC
were there warned BY Mexican au-
thorities that they would be treated al
invaders if they crossed into Mexican
territory. Mcdowell has asked in
structions and they have been sent
him to the effect that their raids must
be suppressed and citing the order;

Ir is currently reported that a Fen
ian raid into Canada is contemplated in
case Of a declaration Of war between

three Companies Of Irish Nationals are

equipped; that 900 Western Irish
men are ready to march at moments
notice, and that 5000 more are in the
vicinity Of Buffalo who will be ready

these rumors.

THE AMERICAN FARMER for May is filed, as
usual, with great variety Of articles, near
" all original, upon every branch Of Agri-
culture suitable for the season, and mostly by
correspondents well known, particularly in
Maryland and Virginia, as prominent Agri-
culturists Among the numerous essays is
one from VIM. Holman, Of Cumberland, fur
nishing a complete manuel for farming for
those from the Northern States and Europe.
Other papers on the cultivation Of tobacco,
the sweet potato, the carrot, the corn, the
grass and other crops,-and a number on
sheep raising and its advantages, and on live
stock generally,-also description Of the
principal localities Of the bluegrass and cat
tie-raising districts Of Kentucky. The sub
ject Of Fertilizers and manures generally is
one Of the specialties Of the Farmer, and ma
ny valuable hints upon this branch are fur
nished in this number, as usual, to the gen

The term Of office Of that gentlemanly and
efficient member Of the Levy Court of New
Castle Connty.-Mr. William Polk, is about
70 expire. and it is time that the citizens Of
At. Georre's agitate the question who shall be
his successor? And in settling it. as ever in
obeyance to customs of Democratic Rule,
discretion should be observed in placing
upon the ticket names Of those who are to
claim suffrage at the hands Of voters, so that
those elected shall be men worthy the conf
dence Of their constituents, seeking to deal
Justly with and by them in an honest and
unpreiudiced manner; men who by their dai-
" yocations in life and successful pursuit OF
the same prove that they are prepared and
capable Of dealing fairly, honestly and sue
cessfully with matters of political import,
which qualification we feel justified in saying,
finds ample personi6cation in our esteemed
and popular citizen, James I. ShallcroSs, who
shows by his successful management in his
priyate and financial affairs in domestic life,
that be possesses true knowledge of the fun
damental principles Of political economy, and
well calculated TO carry that success with
him, in matters pertaining to body polite,
could he be induced to ehter the Arena ofpo-
litical life.
with this belief prevalent in our mind We
feel confident, that if the Democratic Organi-
cation Of New Castle County would place the
name Of James 7. Shallcross, as member Of
the Levy Court, from St. Georges Hundred,
upon our County ticket, this ensuing fall,
that gentleman would receive fattering
majority Of votes and our Hundred have
