Is nobler than q brave retreat"


Is nobler than brave retreat"
We recommend the above couplet from
Hudibras as Q study, TO those gentlemen
Who On Saturday night st . meeting Of
the citizens of the Third Ward, cooked up
q mics little arrangement to have . delegate
sent to Dover, without either popular cleo
tion, or popular endorsement. The rules Of
the cparty, are its organic law,
which, every Democrat at his peril disobeys,
provide, that the election of delegate TO
the State convention, shall be, by popular
vote taken and received by regularly ap.
pointed officers, at the usual voting places
OF the Ward. A ballot In the Water Witch
engine house, at the tail end Of q meeting
would be an impertiment, and Illegal def
ance OF the rules Of the party, and would
confer as much representation, capacity
upon the person elected, there al
II an election for the Third Ward
had besn held at the Light house. There Il
right and wrong way Of doing things. The
right way In this instance is to open the
polls in the election districts Of the Ward,
and give to every Democratic citizen full
and free opportunity of voting for the man
Of bis choice. The gentlemen who fixed up
the arrangement Of Saturday night may o.
well know, that the Democrats of the Ward
will stand no such nonsense. We give them
fair notice that polls will be opened and .
dslegate voted for according to the rules
and that no returning board" game will
be submitted to. Gentlemen retreat ID

A VICIOUS ASSAULT.

VIM. Cummins was arraigned st the po-
lice station yesterday morning, on the
charge of assaulting his wife. It appears
that be came home about II O'Clock I'm .
very intoxicated condition. He abused his
wife, and when she went out to get . drink
of water, he locked the door and would Rot
let her come in for some time, although
tue youngest child was quite sick. Wren
he did open the door, he began kicking her,
and beating her in an unmerciful manner.
The neighbors took the woman under pro-
lection, and had warrant gotten out for
Cummings arrest. He was fined SO aad

HAYES PLEASED.

Mr.. Hayes is pleased with the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court of Louis
lana, and has been heard to remark
that it would be hailed with joy and
satisfaction all over the loyal North
as the sweet harbinger of hope for
better and brighter days, resplendent
in the full effulgence of the policy of
conciliation, and that the gentle breezes
of the springtide from the sunny
Southern cline breathe full of the balm
of brotherly love and are heavy with
the incense of reunification, regenera-
ton and disenthrallment, without
distinction of race, color or previous
felony. 1t is suspected that the gently
dyspeptic Rogers had hand in the
revision of those beautiful thoughts
before they were finally uttered by
the cze .facto President. It is even
stated that the whole formula was
carefully digested and agreed upon by
Hayes and Rogers day before yesterday
at p. M, while they stood at the open
south " indow OF the executive chamber,
arm in arm, gazing out upon the ravish-
ing foreground of Ikidwell Bottoms,
with the soft-bosomed Potomac CLINT
ing the perspective and the dim hills
of. Virginia looming up in the dim
distance. It was beautiful picture

SATIRE VERIFIED.

1t is a fearful thing that in a country
like this, where, according to the the
ory of the Constitution, the rulers were
but tho servants of tho people, the
people should stand in dread of their
legislation yet he would appeal to all
who heard him, whether when the last
Legislature had adjourned they did not
all feel as if an incubus had suddenly
been lifted from their breasts! Did not
their bosoms swell and heave long
sigh of relief, when they had the GER
tainty that no (more) nc,c experiments
were at this time to be brought forward
and forced upon the country? Was it
not terrible condition for a nation
when their chief consolation was the
inability of the government even to do
good? When their great safety lay in
this, that the Legislature had adj
journed? x
lido sincerely believe that never since
men have dwelt on the face of this
green earth, and had rulers over them,
was there ever an administration seen
in any country of the globe, Or in any
age of time, more utterly callous to the
sufferings or the wishes of the people.
