Scandal On Delaware Aveooe.
WILMINGTON, Nov. llth, 1878.
Last night between s and 3 o'clock
another scandal took place ON Delaware
Avenue. Two couples, colored, who
had just come from town, were attacked
Oh Delaware Aver ue between Rodney
street and ths Middle depot. The two
colored ladies got in the power OF about
eight or nine OF the loafers but man
aged fortunately 10 get out OF their
hands by screaming constantly murder.
They came running as far as Mr.. Sci
ler's on Delaware Avenue and Rodney
streets, and asked him to help them
and their husbands who were al yet
In the power OF the loafers. One OF the
c5lored men however got loose mean
while, bat about the other no one could
tell what they did with him and whore
they carried him to. Delaware avenue
was thus once more scene Of scandal
and disgrace ayow and confess that
even in day light it is impossible to
walk on Delaware avenue without be.
ing insulted or scofed at by factory
girls from the Banks.
No lady walks alone on the said
road ter q o'clock at night without
receiving insulting epithets. Lamp
posts and fences are not even left
a!one, as every evening lot OF loafers
or whatever they may be, sit around
peoples fences up to midnight. What
do our citizens pay taxes for, and for
what purpose do We keep policemen.
The main evil lies in the selling of
liquors on Sunday. Some Of those
loafers of yesterday were evidently
drunk if judged from their beastly
howhng and yelling Therefore if our
liquor dealers would agree On this
point not to sell any liquor to any man
on Sunday it would probably cut the
evil at the root. And further If those
young men would have enough self re-
spect to stay at home, or ifthey have to
go out, to not stand around the corner,
rear themselves against fences and
lamp posts or visit saloons, this part OF
Wilmington would have different as
pect on sunday. Let the authorities Of
Wilmin gton attend to this matter and
let the disgrace around the middle de-
pot and on Delaware Avenue 20 no

Truthful Words FearAcssly Spoken
From the Phi ado phia Evening Bulletin


A South Carolina jury has indicted
tx Governor Chamberlain for compiled
ty in scheme for swinding the State;
a"d Mr.. Chamberlain has probably sur
prised his enemies by declaring that he
j ready voluntarily to SURE nder him
8 If and to stand trial. 1t will BE- hard
to convince any impartial person that
political persecution has not much more
to do with this matter than desire for
justice. Every body knows that the
South Carolina Democrats seriously
considered the advisability of running
Chamberlain for Governor before Wade
Hampton presented himself as a candi
date; and the press OF the State, at that
time, was unanimous in praising Cham
berlain as an honest man and an able
administrator. But things having
changed n South Carolina since Wade
Hampton forced himself into power by
intimidation aud murder, and the genrr-
al desire TO visit the Radicals with ven
geanCe includes even Chamberl in
among its proposed victims. 1t is man
ly and courageous for him boldly to
face h. accustrs; but it is not wise.
Th,r is almost no hope at all that he
will have a fair trial. Men who win
political victories by assassination and
who do not hesitate to rob an entire
race of its rights will not scruple to Sc
cure Mr., Chambrrlain's conviction by
means of false witnesses and packed
jury. He is doomed man if he trusts
to the South Carolina cut TIN oat Democ
racy TO give him Justice.

SPECULATION.

An examination into the wide spread
distress of the country proves that spec
ulation Is at the bottom of neatly all Of
it. Banks invested in real estate, hoping
to make on rise. Merchants placed
their surplus receipts in stocks in the
hope of large dividends in place of pay
ing cash for their goods. Farmers Dor.
rowed money at high rate of interest
and INDUCED in luxuries which under
ordinary circumstances they woLld not
have thought of doing. Many rented
their farms and moved into town to try
merchandising, where their family could
''enjOy society,"" The farm deterioratcd
under the care of a tenant as it always
does.
Buying and selling brought losses in
stead of gains, the money raised by the
mortgage disappeared, and distress came.
Times were brisk" and the whole coun.
try drove with loose rein. Gains were
spent carelessly and debts contracted.
Nearly every body owed somebody, and
when a break was made, apparently
prosperous people went down by dozens.
The millions which had been invested
in unfinished railroad bonds, in silver
mines and coal oil stocks were lost, as it
were, in the twinkling of an eye. Moth
ing was left but the bad habits that lux
ury and extravaganza had created, and
to lay'down which. and to return to
more primitive way of living, has proved
one of the sorest crosses, contributing in
a large part to what is known as hard
times. In their distress people complain
of their government for not doing some.
thing to relieve their distress. Like the
children of Israel they accuse their rulers
and cry out to be led back to Egypt
where they can enjoy their lceks. But
the promised land was not to be found by
but through much tribulation
in the opposite direction. And SO it is
with our people. They must 60 on and
conquer difficulties, not back over the
quicksands and through the mirage of
speculation.-Kansas Farmer.
