DELAwARE's SLANDERERs.-The Her
ald, like the Philadelphia Republican
newspapers and Pennsylvania enemies
of Delaware and her institutions, seems
to display an eager desire to adopt the
say-so evidence furnished by helter-skel-
ter newspaper correspondents i'll the
Chambers Collins case, and make them
the basis of abuse of our State and her
officials.
1T this is mischievous propensity which
has misled the newspapers of other
States into wholesale and unjusttiiable
censure Of our people and put stigma
upon our fair name and fame. 1t is un-
just as it is reprehensible to adopt the
say-so statement of newspapers without
first inquiring as to the truth, especially
when the real facts are SO accessible as
in this case The Herald of this morning
swallows as gospel truth reported con-
versation of New York Heralds CORES
pondent with Governor Cochran, and
thereupon asserts that the Governor de-
clares that he had no power to reprieve
A moments intelligent reading of the
n. Y. Herald account will show that its
reporter has confounded Communication
of sentence with reprieve in his report
of Governor Cochran's remarks land that
the Herald, like its city contemporary
last Thursday afternoon, has "gone OF
half-cocked," and hence its long rigma
role on law, which every school bo,
knows who studies his dictionary.
In fact Gov. Cochran never said h,
had not the power of reprieve, as we ar,
authenticity informed. What he di,
say was that he would not exercise i
because there was no doubt of the gull
of the negroes in his mind or that of tn
many intelligent and capable gentlemen
who had made themselves acquainted
with the facts. He had repeatedly sal

MARCH eSth. 1878.

IT is LITTLE SINGULAR to find the
Republican arraigning the Courts of this
State and the juries for the last forty
years, and charging that negroes have
been wrongfully hung and white men
cleared. During ten of the forty years,
all four of the judges were Wings, and
during no part of the time was there
mere than one acknowledged Demo
cratic Judge on the bench. We do moi
believe injustice was ever practiced to
ward the negroes by the Courts. 1t is
wrong thus to assault the reputation Of
dead and the living.
The daily gazette., 1878-03-28

Is THERE NO MERCY FOR Poor WHITE /
WOMEN ?-rhe Herald still scolds at the |
Governor for notreprieving or pardoning |
the negroes who were hung for the outra- |
geous rape upon Kate Smith. 1t takes |
the ground that he had the power. The
GAZETTE does not deny that he had the
power, but maintains that the negroes
were guilty and the Governor did right
in refusing to interfere. There is still
another negro at large that ought to be
hung, and if he is caught, no doubt he
will be hung for the rape upon Miss
Foreacre, of Mill Greek HID, this county
in October last.
1t is little strange, however, that the
poor Catholic woman, Kate Smith, who
suffered so much in the hands of the
beastly Maryland negroes, and who
afterward showed SO forgiving spirit
as to ask that they might not be hung,
should be SO rudely abused and denounc-
ed with all manner of foul epithets in
the newspapers. This is nothing less
than taking vengeance upon the poor and
humble white for the offence. Is there
no one to espouse The cause of white
woman? Are all the Delaware lawyers
seeking negro votes by defending the
dead ravagers? There is certainly redress
for the woman? Those who saw heI
while in Jail and noted her conduct on
the witness stand say she was intelligent
and to degree refined in her manners
possessing a very slight delicate figure
not weighing over 80 pounds with a sof
and beautiful hand; and that when testi
flying she sald when the two negroes haC
beaten down her husband, and he Ia,
bleeding and senseless upon the ground
in that corntield in the darkness, and tn
two negroes laid hold of her and dragge
her further into the thick standing cor
she said she "prayed to God to forgiv
her sins, for she thought they meant t
kill her." and what woman would nc
have thought so, The negroes each ha

with this swinging death-dealing instrl
ment that she saw her husband beate
down; and as she had no doubt read {
the many women who were outrage
and murdered, it was very natural sl
should fear they meant to kill her.
But why the Heraid and Republ,cC
should heap such terrible epithets upo
the poor creature, because she was viii
and so unfortunate as to have drunke
worthless husband, is a mystery. The
must be something in this course. 1t

happened. The very poor have not alw

says that the consumption of liquor in
the State of New York Is equal 10 $780,
000, 600 in value each year. A tax OF
two and half cents glass on spirits,
| and half cent on each glass of malt liq-
uor,. would give the finances Of New
York great lift; and Mr.. Brooks thinks
it would reduce the list OF criminal Of

Certainly this large and unnecessary COL
sumption ought to pay special tax. In
Virginia, the bell-punch is contributed

tax payers. Is there no member Of the
