make the play ShyloeA and not 1Ise. Merchant

be. RB85F8
! This fifth act has q purpose-an artistic, a
| high and holy purpose. 1t comes in after the
painful and exciting scene of the Judgment of
Portia and the humiliation Of the Jew, in or
der to do away with the unhappy impressions
left by the logical result OF the plot. 1t is the
sweetest and tenderest love scene in all the
English language-that story Of the night
when

And with an unthrift love did run from Venice.

short. It occurs after Stepkono has inter-
rupted the pretty duet and has taken his leave
and Lorenzo begins again

MOB LAW TN ST. CHARLES,

| Mr.. Valcour st. Martin was most brutal,
assassinated by mob Of negroes in st
Charles parish on the fourteenth instant, II
what manner our readers must have been In
formed In reading our former edition. Yes
| terday we received a communication, pub
| lshed in another column, from the father O
| the murdered man, which throws additional
light on the proceedings instituted to ferre
out the perpetrators of the crime.
In our issue Of Friday was an account O.
the investigation instituted by District At
torney Earhart, but 1t seems that he did moi
take any pains to prosecute the inquiry, anG
that Mr. De Poorter, District Attorney pro
tenn of st. John parish, conducted the whole
affair. An insight into the state of affairs in
st. Charles, at present, would prove interest
ing. 49, ...sH..- .4 5.. z
st. Charles parish is essentially Radical
parish, @ negro parish, If we may use the
term; the blacks number fully 1900, while the
white population is 800 in all.
The government of the parish is therefore
either under the exclusive control of the
negro element or under the management of
white men elected by the colored people, and
no better than their electors. The only two
good men holding office In st. Charles are N.
V. ST. Martin, the parish attorney, and Ben
iamin Dry, the recorder. The other officers
are negroes for the most part.
It is no wonder then that parish so well
managed furnishes such an example of brutal
violence as was witnessed in the disgraceful
proceeding on the fourteenth instant.
The parish Judge, Peter Harper, white
man, but a Radical In the true sense of the
term, and an out-and-out carpet Dagger, is
indeed the image Of the upright and spotless
vindicator Of outraged justice. That man,
whose duty tits to suppress crime and punish
riotousness, Is afraid to grant any order for
the arrest of the parties implicated In the
murder, and utterly refuses to take any steps
towards Investigating the affair. Essex, the
negro Radical sheriff, accomplice, no doubt,
In the assassination, who is still at large
assumes the position of dictator, and boasts
that he cannot be made either to obey any
warrant of arrest or NEEDLE in the matter,
That negro also stated that, even If the Judge
ordered him to execute commitment against
the assassins, he would refuse to take the
parties to jail
Such Is the lamentable state Of affairs in
st. Charles. A white man is foullv muir
dered; @ district attorney pretends to have
an investigation made, and hurries elsewhere.
a judge refuses to prosecute the inquiry, and
a negro, who has been elected by negroes to
TIE high position Of sheriff, takes it upon
himself to ignore all usages of law, all die
tates Of humanity and reason, and to state
that he cannot be compelled to execute the
mandates OF a superior officer,

The Pennsylvania delegation in the next
Congress will probably be reversed. It now
stands IL Republicans to 10 Democrats. This
result was obtained by q gerrymander of the
State by Radical Legislature, which threw
the Democratic counties together in Con-
gressional districts giving immense Demo
cratic maiorities, while several of the Repub-
lean districts we're SO made up as to elect the
Republican candidates by not more than 500
votes. It required much shrewd calcula-
ton, OF the Cameron order, to accom-
pllsh this; but no estimate was made
Tor the disturbing influence of new
parties. The Nationals now have full con-
grassional tickets in the field, and are play
ing havoc with the little plan SO nicely fixed
up at Harrisburg. All the close Republican
districts are expected to elect Democratic or
National candidates. The Democrats will
hold their own, the majorities being too large
TO be affected by the new movement. This
Pennsylvania Gerrymander is as great a
boomerang as the Grant movement.

DR.. J. s, GARDNER,

We have heard anxious inquiry for the past
two Or three days as to the nominee Of the
Nationals for Treasurer, and no person whom
wemet seemed able to give any information
until we ran across Major Burke, the Demo
cratic candidate, who obligingly informs us
that DR.. J. s. Gardner is O native of Baton
Rouge, born in 1855, formerly a printer t11ts.
journalist, graduate OF the University of
Louisiana, surgeon in the Confederate army,
and In 1872 member of the McEnery Legis-
lature and genial gentlemen.
The Major evidently believes in giving his
opponent q fair fight.

The New York Democratic convention

The New York Democratic convention
meets on Wednesday next. A fierce fight has
been going on between Tammany Hall and
the friends OF Mr.. Tilden for the control of
the body. The result Is still in doubt with
the chances in favor of the latter. II John
Kelly wins Mr.. Tiden disappears as proba-
BILE presidential candidate in 1880. On the
other hand, IL Kelly Is defeated, Tilden will
40 into the national convention with solid
New York delegation at his back. The pro-
ceedings at Syracuse, therefore, will be
watched with great interest.

scented receipt for 81 900, paid City
Treasurer VIM. +. Lane ON account of
taxes. Mr. Elmer Clarke, being present,
said that the city assessment had increas-
ed the number of acres over the original
farm of T. I. Tasker, and even had not
deducted the amount sold. He asked
that some action be taken. The remain
der of the business was merely
routine and the following bills were al

Mr. Ridings moved that when Council
adjourn it be until this evening to take
into consideration the donating of a sum
in aid of the suffering and distressed in
the districts afflicted with the yellow
fever, which WAS agreed to when Council
adjourned.
The move by City Council 10 aid the
yellow fever sufferers is laudable and
humane, and should receive the encour-
agement of all citizens.
Great interest was feltin this city at the
result of the election in Wilmington.

In accordance with the wishes of the en-
tire party Some sharp comments were
| also made on the conduct of convention
in turning out the newspaper reporters,
"A thing unprecedented, but on all sides
the works of the convention is consider
ed well done aud the ticket admitted to
be one of the best ever nom mated in this
county. One strange thing, however
occurred, the DetdDdred1i, the county or
gan Of the Democrats, failed TO publish
the report of the convention, not even
the ballots, and the people had to depend
on the GAZETTE, and other Wilmington
papers, and the Sentinel, the Republican
organ OF the county for their report.
such thing is unprecedented and the
Democrats hereabouts complain loudly
about the matter. The newsdealer here
say he sold twenty or twenty-five copies
Of the Sentinel and not a single Della
,oU can, Just on this account, most of the
purchasers being Democrats. Such a
thing Is disgrace to the management of
that paper.
BY the way, there seem to be a gener-
al dissatisfaction at the wants of enter
prise In the "Delawarean" in regard to
furnishing news, especially the local
news, as it gives the Republican organ
here such good chance to build up a
circulation, and generally TO mark to the
detrlmeut of the party, absorbing to it
self all the official patronage required by
law to be given 10 the paper Of the larg-
est circulation, and in various other ways
attracting notice and prestige.
