IN A FIX.

Yesterday there was a general stampede
from about the Coroner's Office. The
Coroner himself went to Rehoboth, Uncle
Dannie Fox sought relief at Pennsgroye,'
and Mr.. Mcdaniel, accompanied by Andy
McClane, Joseph Gambrill and D. c. Rose,
Jr., went fishing. To the two former
parties nothing Of q startling nature oc-
CURED. but the fishermen met with an event
which they still recall with feelings akin to
horror. The heat of the sun led them to
row under Walton, Whann & Co.'s wharf,
in the shade, and they continued to fish
unconscious of the tide, wlich was slowly
aud steadily rising. Most of them were
lying at their ease In the bottom OF the
boat, and at length became aware of trick
the tide had played upon them by forcing
their boat up against the floor of the
wharf so closely as to prevent them from
sitting upright. The tide rose to within a
few inches of the top of the boat, and the
fishermen remained In mortal agony, fear
ing that their craft would be swamped, and
they would be compelled to swim for their
lives. However, they escaped at length,
and now not one iu the party will admit
that they were at all scared. l.ss f. /.

THE FINANCE QUESTION.
AN ADDRESS BY q. W. 8. NICHOLSON BEFORE
THE OFT Y DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION LAST

AN ADDRESS BY q. W. 3. NICHOLSON BEFORE
THE CITY DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION LAST
NIGHT.
The City Democratic Association met last
evening with President Myers in the chair
and Thomas Mellon acting as secretary. The
special committee on making preparations
for q mass meeting reported that band
and speakers had been engaged and every
thing was in readiness for the meeting
which will be held on Fourth and Market
streets on Monday night next.
The chairman then introduced Geo. w. 8.
Nicholson, Esq, Of Seaford, who he said
had been invited to deliver an address before
the association at his convenience and had
chosen this as time suitable to him.
After few preliminary remarks, Mr..
Nicholson said that 10 years ago he had
predicted that the question of finance must
go into politics and that Delaware must sett
the example and 10 years after we find thai
the currency issue is figuring largely in poll
tics all over the country, and many meaEs
are devised by which relief Can be given, the
principal part of which consider the condi-
tion of the patient and not the status of tie
disease. A stable and efficient currency IL
the life blood of the mercantile and CONNER
cial interests of the country and that money
should be uniform with the demands for 1t
| by the people. The speaker then alluded to
| the fact that i'm port duties were only paid
in metallic currency while greenbacks and
| national bank notes, which have deprecated
| In value, were circulated among the people.
This he denounced, and said was the cause
of much of the business depression when all
trade was stagnant except the trade In gov
ernment securities. The general character
of the finance of England and France was
dwelt upon at length, and the currency of
the latter country praised very highly. The
speaker gave cursory review of American
currency, condition 1t is now in and alluded
to the fact that when people say money is
scarce, hard money men point to an array
Of figures and contradict the assertion.
The fact is that the money is In the country
but cannot be gotten at and poor men have
taken their grievances into politics, which
action will ultimately resnlt In readjust-
ment of affairs by the political leaders.
Greenbacks will not do, and In reality gold
is the only good coin we have, and 1t is o
reproach upon our statesmanship that the
currency is as complicated as it is. The
regulation OF the currency is govern
mental attribute, and 1t is the duty of our
Legislators to propose and give us q cur
rency uniform and reliable, that will be
staple, and will be accepted In all avenues
of commerce, and to the absence of this, In
a great measure, the present depressed nature
of things is to be charged. ..-,.,.........
At the conclusion of Mr.. Nicholson's
remarks a vote of thanks was rendered,
and he was invited to address the Demo-
cracy on the finance question again during
the State campaign.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 80, 1878.
Secretary Sherman should have confined
his Ohio speech to the financial question.
Or the details of that he must be supposed,
from his positien. to have some knowledge,
and, as it is not strictly party question, he
may be understood not to speak entirely as
a party man. In going beyond the subject
of the finances, and discussing Louisiana
affairs, he speaks indeed with knowledge,
but he will not get credit among Democrats
or intelligent Republicans with telling the
truth or attempting to tell the truth. On
that subject the record is well made up, and
his is not the most creditable figure among
those who aided in making that record dis
graceful to the Republican party. He has
financial idea, which is that specie re-
sumption should be brought about as soon
as possible. Whether the idea is good
one or not, it is shared by many Republican
and Democrats, and the question of NOR
tally Is not involved. Sherman should con-
fine himself to that, and let alone the dirty
performances of himself AMI ether party
leaders In Louisiana.
Outside of contests in the Congressional
Districts the subject Of greatest political
interest is the Sherman letter to Anderson
and Weber. A reputable paper in New
York says this letter will be produced in
October, when the Potter Committee meets
again. Lately letter was shown here, al
legged to be the original, which, upon COM
parison with letters certainly written by
Sherman, seemed to be in his hand writing
If not written by him 1t was certainly q
counterfeit which deceived several who care
fully examined it.
Dennis Kearney arrived here yesterday.
He will stay but few days, expects to
make but one speech, and then goes to
Massachusetts,. He says he shall speak
throughout that State in the interest of Gen.
eral Butler, as candidate tor Governor.
Kearney will have many hearers when he
speaks 10 this city, but his reported utter>
ances in other cities, have been such that no
organization of workingmen here will en-
dorse him in advance. Unless he has some-
thing practical to offer they will not endorse
him at all. Keaney called upon Mr.. Hayes
and Mr.. Hayes took great interest in him and
made note of what was said. Mr.. Hayes
doubtless tore the note up as soon as KeaR
ney's back was turned, as he has done on
more important occasions

HRLP! HELP! HELP!

"Above all things have fervent charity
among yourselves for charity shall cover
u multitude of sins. ."-St. Peter.
The Mayor, as requested by the HERALD
Of yesterday morning, has called together
the citizens of Wilmington to take steps to
help the victims Of yellow fever. We sin
cerely hope that the meeting will be large
to overfowing, and that large, liberal and
charitable spirit will be manifested by all
who come to the meeting. Every class Of
people should be present, and by their at
tendance show that we are trulya charitable
people, and by our deeds, in the language of
the epistle of St. Peter, cover oar manifold
sins of omission and commission. What
we hope to see is a gathering OF the work.
ing men who will dignity the charity by the
subscriptions of labor. The characteristics
of the Catholic Church, are instances Of
the potency of the subscriptions of the
many, though small individually, their
aggregate reach large sums. The mite of
the widow cast into the treasury of the
temple, was the one alone which was
stamped by the commentator of our great
Great Master, as q notable deed of charity.
So come to the meeting every man who
feels charitable desire to help the suffer-
ing woe stricken people of the South. Be
not ashamed of your offerings, but let
every one give. As the called meeting Is
for all citizens, 1t is to be hoped that no
ceremonies in opening with prayer or
hymns will be INDUCED in by the over
Jealous. Jew and gentle are one in the
cause of charity, and the purpose is go
holy that the meeting will need no benedic-
tion, 1t will be carrying out one of the
corporal works of mercy: I was sick and
you visited me''-and will stand blessed by
