The County Court of Jackson coun.

$4,000 toward building a narrow

A Washington special TO the En-
qlirsr Of Monday, saysi 1.-THE pres
sure brought to bear on the Presi-
dent by the opponents Of the Silver
Bill exceeds any thing ever known
He is literally besieged by represcn'
tatiyes of money kings to veto the
bill, and throw the responsibility OF
its becoming a law on Congress.
Delegation after delegation called
upon him yesterday, and made most
earnest appeals, exceeding even the
opportunities of the friends OF the
old United States Bank, when Old
Hickory determined to wipe it out
of existence. The President, how.
ever, studiously avoids expressing
any opinion whatever on the subject,
as the bill has not yet reached him.
The effect Of this reticence on the
part of the President leads to all sorts
of conjectures, and to friends of the
Silver Bill it is interpreted us good
omen, while its enemies hang to the
hope that it means a fixed determi-
nation to veto the bill. In the mean
time its friends are perfectly tran
quill, and in a measure indifferent as
to what course the President may
take, knowing that the strength Of
the bill in both Houses will secure
its becoming a law in any event.

BY communication in another column,
which is authoritative, it will be seen that
the temperance men here do not intend to
contest the applications for license to sell
liquor before the present term of Court
and are thus like the Republican party,
put in q non combative state: The latter
because of discriminating laws that circum-
vallate every effort they may make, and
the former because of court that pays,
they say, no regard to the sentiments Of
our best citizens. They thus throw the
whole responsibility where it belongs; the
one upon the party which made the law,
and the other upon the court that has the
administration of justice committed to it.
1t is new and singular phase of our his
tory, and if the grounds taken by each are
tangible, it casts a shadow over the page ot
our political and judicial affairs that should
be speedily lifted.

THE FAIR has come and gone-the Dover
Fair we mean-and was a source of pleas
ure to thousands of people and of course
its success a great qualification to the stock
holders. Everybody had kind word for
it and congratulatory word to those who
planed and executed it. For new thing,
it was on large scale, and it was perhaps
the boldness of the enterprise that gave it
such a complete sendof Like wide-awake
and cnterprising merchant who sees the
best road to success is by making his name
and wares familiar to the people, they re-
ally to advertising, and the re-
suit was the biggest crowd ever brought
together on such an occasion in the State
They, however, may not be SO successful
another year for various reasons. The
novelty will wear off with some, dissatisfac-
ton in regard to awards with others, dis
proval of. SO much racing with another
class, &C., &c. Theracing seems a necessary
feature Of our Agricultural Fairs while al
the same time it has been their bane. The
Country Gentleman, than which there is nc
better authority, in discussing this subject
says:

On THE RIGHT TRACK.-If the Greenback
ers have a false theory in regard to the
administration of finances, they have taken
wise and commendable step in regard tc
our obnoxious Election laws. They want
neither the State defrauded of its tax reve
nues nor the citizen of his vote, as the fol
lowing resolutions adopted last Saturday
at New Castle, will show:
RESOLVED, That the system of assessing and collect
ing the taxes for State and county is wrong because
it defrauds them of their revenue and the citizen O
his right to vote We protest against the unwarranted
assumption of power which makes and unm0kes the
citizens in obedience to the powers that be. And be
it further
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves TO the earnest
and continual effort to accomplish the repeal of all
such obnoxious and unjust laws disgrace the stat
ute book of our State. And we further pledge our
selves vote only for those candidates who favor the
reform of State laws, and who pledge themselves
to work and vote for that end.

The Democrats carried fourteen of the
fifteen election districts in Wilmington,
yesterday. The vote of the city was Demo
crat, 1927, Republican, 5I3, Greenback,
lG2. Elsewhere in the State the Republi-
cans put no ticket in the field.
Gazette and the Wilmington Herald both
repudiate the Delaware Democratic plat
form, and are hostile to the political doc
trines therein enunciated; and yet both
advocate the election Of the ticket nomi-
mated in accordance Herewith If these
papers had any political honesty or integrity
above them, they would refuse to support
the ticket and urge the nomination of a
new one pledged to the political doctrines
they advocate and believe in.-PeniuSulu

The Ne,gs insists that those Democrats
who want more money cannot vote fol
Martin for Congress or endorse Senator
Bayard and should put in the field al
honest ticket that does represent then

there are no issues between them; anc

hand how can anti-resumption and green
back Democrats do it? They cannot ex
cept by stutifying themselves. The ne

A STATE REDEEMED.

Tuesdays election resulted In this
parish, and, we think, all over the
State in grand Democratic victory.
We shall not bring out a cannon, or .
rooster to announce the result, but be
satisfied with a few lines of type. . !.
The result has not surprised as. In
Ouachita parish there was, at the start,
a division in the Democratic party
with reference to the calling Of Con-
vention of the peoples delegates to
frame a new Constitution. We have
never believed that there ought to
have been any such difference Lou
isiana, alone of all the Southern States,
stands unredeemed. The vote in this
parish, Tuesday, is. positive declara-
ton, so far as the people Of this parish
can express themselves, that the Legis-
lature cannot make Constitution,
and that patchwork will not be toler-
ated. The tickets were printed "For''
and s'Against'' the proposed amend
ments., The reader will see, from the
table we publish, that the parish
of Ouachita-not long since carried
In opposition to q new Constitutions
now overwhelmingly in favor Of it.
We are pleased to say that many
voters in this parish who, in June
last, opposed the call for Constitu.
tional Convention, were active in favo,
OF the call on Tuesday. s,9Ht ayso!g
The result of the election throughout
the State will be undoubtedly in favor
OF the Democratic ticket. Major Burke
is elected State Treasurer by q large
majority, and Louisiana will send q
solid Democratic delegation to Con.
gress. This congressional district win
elect Gen. King and Col. Young,
beyond doubt. t-;

days election. Now, let Louisiana be
