HANGING ALL AROUND.

Senator Bayard has named Mayor White
ley for the successor to Williams. Mayor
Whitley, through the constable, who is not
a Montmorencl, calls the candidates for
Mayors before him of a quiet Sunday morn
ing, to name his successor, In the first case
the Senator, according to the statement Of
the meeting in the New York Hotel, wants
popular endorsement. This is perfectly
fair and polite from the Senator's stand
point. In the second place, Mayor Whiteley
desires aid to carry the delegates to send
him to Congress, so that the plans of Q
living Bayard-dad Montmorenci we will
call him so in future-or "Mont," for short
dovetail. We have no feeling whatever in
the matter, and our objection is founded
upon the fact that the people are as com
pletely ignored, as political factors, as !
they were serfs, not freemen. @1 '~

TEMPERANCE TRIP TO THE JERSEY
.... SHORE. l.l5 ratF

The regular Sunday afternoon temper
ance excursion to Pennsgrove on the Alice
E. Preston, yesterday, was more largely at
tended than the previous one. This was
due In great extent to the fact that 1t had
become widely known, and out of the hun
dred passengers who went over, about one
half were deeply interested In the temper
ance cause, and the other half influenced
to small extent by temperance and to
greater by the summer winds from off the
Iimpid waters of the Delaware. 20"
On arrival about two hundred persons
were assembled, and an interesting meeting
was held.
Mr.. Fl. w. Morrow who has inaugurated
the meetings and has them In charge pre-
sided. and speeches were made BY J. G.
Foulk, Fl. G. Duvallenger, James Roberts,
J. L. Smedlsy, r. B. Mcdonnell, R. II. Bur-
ton, Jr., and George Day. Mr.. Morrow
then invited those present to sign the
pledge, and several embraced the opportu>
nifty. &.
Much of the success OF these meetings Is
due to the gentlemanly Captain Denney, OF
Alice e. Preston, who does all In bis power
to contribute to the pleasure and conye'
nience of his passengers.

FEW FACTS ON RESUMPTION

LEV FACTS ON RESUMPTION.
We have $25O.0O0, 900 of uncoined and
coined silver and gold, $4,000, 900 is in
fractional silver, not legal tender for more
than IS. Our population say 45,OOO,O0O.
Ia 1850 there were $500 900, 900 coned silver
and gold. Population, 35,OOO,0OO. The
balance Of trade is slightly in our favor but
our export of gold is $50 900, 900 annually,
hence our stock of coin, will not increase.
The exchanges of the country since 1860,
according to the best financial, and indus
trial authorities, have doubled since then.
Senator Coke, in speech, thus peril
nently stated the case .
"We had no more in 1860 of coin than
was necessary; and with doubled ex-
changes, with population amounting then
to thirty-fve million, and now forty-five
million, do we not require more than $780,
900, 900 of coin 10 resume on?
What does resumption of specie payment
mean? 1t means that every dollar OF debt
will be demandable either in coin or paper
redeemable on demand IN coin. And yet
for the vast amount of paper necessary to
be used for the great sum of the exchanges
of the country; for the whole business OF
toe country to be moved by money, there
Is less than $500, 900, 900 of coin at the pre-
sent time. The Secretary of the Treasury
in his estimates does not contend that we
we will have in the United States on the 1st
day of January next more than 1886, ,OOO,-
900 of coin. Can we resume specie pay
ments with $235, 100000 of coin' We can
do it but If we do, we shall crush every
debtor in the country; and he who hold the
money bags will find his wealth dve-fold
increased. The senseless cry of honest
money; as If the robbery of the poor and
the closing out of the farmer from his
homestead by the Sheriff, were honest;
ought to stop. There is no hope under the
"gold bug" policy in the future-at least
for the laborers.
Dun's Commercial Agency admits a debt
National, State, and Municipal, of 81, $780,
600 900, which is in reality only about half
the actual Indebtedness ofthe people. The
interest on this sum at per cent. amounts
to $433, 100000.
The annual increase OF the national wealth
IA 1920 900, 900. We are not making enough
to pay the interest of the above debt WORK
on. Delaware farmers and mechanics,
work on and dare not grumble. This load
must he carried. You dare not object to
lit.
Respectfully Dedicated to the ''gold bugs
and "West British economists" OF the
State of Delaware.

TURKISH JUSTICE.

CoNsPIRAToRs SECRETLY EXECUTED IN
CoNsTANTINoPLE-scE AT THE WAR
DEPARTMENT.
A correspondent writes from Constanti-
nople, under date of May 3d.:
Arrests were made throughout last week
until some sixty persons had been arrested
for completely in the attempted insurrect-
ion. These persons were mainly among
the middle class. One was pascha of
whom no one ever heard-nor will again.
The people arrested were marched to the
palace under heavily armed guard of two
soldiers to each prisoner. After several
days of examination before commissi on,
the prisoners were removed, last Sunday,
to the War Department, where they are to
be tried for their lives by court mart ial.
Not that there is any appreciable difference
between the court civil and the court mar
ttal In Turkey. The rule in each is to bring
man in guilty, unless a person OF influ-
ence wishes him acquitted, and the methods
in both are similar. The preliminary ex>
animation of prisoners is conducted on the
French principle before "mustantik," or
Judge d'instruction. l was subjected to
such an examination here on suspicion OF
completely IN the Bulgarian insurrection OF
1876. The mustantik, with two clerks and
a single guard, composed the Turkish force
employed on that occasion. We all sat
down about filthy table in small room
| in the Central Police Office, and guard
locked the door on the inside and placed
his back against It,. The questionings were
very searching. very complicated, and often
returned to a subject already exhausted,
with an evident purpose of detecting some
flaw in the previous statements. The
clerks wrote both questions and answers on
large sheets of paper. After the entire sub
iect had been exhausted, the memoranda OF
the clerks was handed me to read and Sign
Hardly question or answer was recorded
In the actual words of the examination. 1t
will be seen that this system affords great
facility for providing testimony to be used
on trial; even If the prisoner is confronted
with the great man In whose Jurisdiction
the case has fallen. In my case this great
man was graybead of benevolent aspect who
now commands the Turkish army in Epi-
rus. He politely bowed me out OF the
buildipg. In the case of those arrested aa

THE WILLIAMS INQUEST.
SOME EVIDENCE THAT MAKES TIE CASE
LOOK GRAVE.

The Coroner held an inquest Saturday
morning upon the body of Dave Williams,
who was shot yesterday week by officer
Charles Brickel, and who died as stated in
the Herald on Friday evening last. 49,.
Solomon Davis testified that after the ar
rest Of Frank jackson. who was hiding un-
der house, and Bouzir rth took charge of
the prisoner and the two officers Brickel
and Bouzarth went down to William Lamb
sons house. Williams came up and objected
to his house being searched without
search warrant, to which Brickel replied
3D. your black heart I'll search
yours or any other mans house. After
some words, Brickle drew pistol and VIII
liams backed into the house, followed by
the officer. Brickle raised the pistol as Il
to strike, and think he did, and then he
called Bouzarth, who gave his prisoner into
George Sedgwick's hands, and went in be-
tween them. They got Williams down and
then Brickle shot. Williams did not offer
to strike either of the officers, and did not
have any weapon In his hands. No one ex-
cept some children, the two officers and the
deceased. Before the shot was fired, VIII
liams said "let me get my coat and I'll 60
where you want me to-" ' aNi E'Sfiai
George w. Sedgewick in reference, to the
difficulty, testified that he saw BIickle and
Williams scuffling in the house, and the lat
ter had large pair of shears in his hand,
heard Brickle tell him to put them down,
and instead of doing so he made three
plunges at the officers breast, after which
Williams was shot by Brickle. .aiTs1 stt.n
William Jones cold, saw Brickle draw a
pistol and Williams back into the house,
followed by the officer, and did not see the
| shooting. -..4 4. .a...a4t sI Z. r.x
Officer Bouzarth testified that after the
arrest of jackson, Williams interfered say
ing; No s---- of q b. shall search my
house. Brickle made some remark about
arrest, and he said no s-of b-shall
arrest me. After some words they grabbed
and tusseled into the house. Brickle soon
called for help, and giving my prisoner
inte the charge Of Mr.. Sedgewick,S went
| In and saw Williams slashing at the officer
with pair of shears. Brickel then shot;
If he had not done so Williams would have
got the best of him. - 'a ''f" For
Several other witnesses were heard, and
a verdict was rendered that deceased came
to his death from pistol shot, in the hands
of Charles Brickle, who acted In self de-
fence, while in the performance of bis
duty, and the jury exhonerated him II iom
all blame.

A MALICIOUS AND SERIOUS ACCI,
DENT.

Last night, about nine o'clock, most
brutal act, which was probably meant as
practical joke, was perpetrated on Dela-
ware avenue near the Railway depot which
resulted seriously to a young lady. She
was going down the aven ue at a very quick
gait, AMI when about square from th e
depot her head str uck rope that had been
mischie vously and maliciously stretched
across the pavement from tree to tree, to
throw some unsuspecting person. She was
thrown violently to the pavement, bruisin9
herself about the head and body. For. a
time she was stunned. The Young lady Is
employed at Mr.. John Hartman's residence
on Riddles Road. Such acts should be
punished.
