falls below the Russisn area. which is
100000 square miles, and below the
Chinese in population, which is 49,

as the available area Of land is far
greater. In India the British rule
has raised the population from 1885,
100000 to 206.OOO,OOO. In Canada,

very remarkable, and in Africa Eng

governments Russia alone has fu-

as in the same category with Victo-

only be expanded by conquest, and

INSOLENT AND ILLEGAL.

| Resolved, That the election held on MAJ
fth, 1878, be and is hereby declared null an(
void, and the seat Of Martin Farrelis hereby
declared vacant.
This proposition of Mr.. Wooley, supported
by the Every Evening and Commercial
would disfranchise whole Ward
1t was one without any warrant OF
law Or precedent, save the high-handed des-
potism of the board of return judges of
Philadelphia, during and after the war.
The bald grant of power, that the Board OF
Education is the judge of the qualification
of its members, by no intendment or inter-
pretration, enables 1t to issue fiat of dis.
franchisement against Ward. A fair
election Is to be priced, but better far a
dozen unfair ones than such a high-handed
outrage upon the franchises of the people.
The point taken that no decision could be
reached unless the ballot boxes were opened,
and inquiry made as to whom each vote
was cast for, was good law, and had many
precedents to support it In the books. Who
could direct the opening of the ballotsboxes?
is the next question. Most certainly not
the Board of Education. No such power
has been granted to them, and none vests
in them by implication. The Chancellor
could decree their opening, upon bill filed
by contestant; or the Superior Court, in a
mandamus proceeding, on the application
of the relator or respondent, might do so,
to inform itself The assumption that will all
the fraudulent votes were cast for Martin
Farrell is imper yond measure
The law is very plain, punish the wrong-
doers; make an example of them, that de-
ter fraudulent voters, from perpetrating
their yilliany-and all will be right. Diss
franchisement was fashionable during the
war The war is over.

After the repast the toast of "President

spoke of the great duty imposed on the
Board of Education, and that the hands
should be educated, as well as the mind,
Idat the education of the intellect without
mechanical education was, in great mea-

A MYSTERIOUS CRAFT.

A vessel is now in course of construction
at Cramps ship yards, in Philadelphia, that
is giving rise to considerable suspicion that
she is intended for the Russia navy. She
is likely to be a very fast sailor, and will
probably carry six guns. Work on her is
being pushed forward with all possible
haste, and the launch will probably take
place this week. She will not be COMPLETED
however, for a month to come. It might
be mentioned as a matter of some interest
to Wilmingtonians that the foreman of tl,e
JOB is Mr.. Charles Pusey, formerly, of this
city, and son of Joshua L. Pusey, of the
firm of Pusey, Jones g. Co.
