CORRESPONDENCE.

For the "MoRNING HERALD.
If fitness and competency should be con-
sidered when making selections for various
positions, W. Il. Quinn, Should certainly
receive handsome and emphatic majority
for Assessor in the Southern District, at
the coming election in October. There 70
no one we know of more eminently fitted
for the very important and rather arduous
duties of this position than is Mr.. Quinn.
Thoroughly acquainted, by long experience
with the valuation of real estates and pos
sessing general and extended acsuaint-
ance throughout the entire district, the
work of assessment entrusted In such hands
could not fail to give universal salts faction
We trust that Mr., Quinn has, or will, allow
his name to be used in this connection, for
in such q case, the voters of the lower dis
trict could cast there ballots for man
thoroughly qualified for the position, one
whose interests are identical with theirs,
and whose only ambition would be to do his
work honorably and satisfactorily.

KEEP YOUR TEMPER.

The report of the action of the Demo-
cratic Committee, which appeared in yes
terday's HERALD, was made up from the
data furnished by the Secretary. Mr.. Bald
win. Mr.. O'Byrne was appointed by the
committee to examine the witnesses, their
testimony was reduced to writing-this,
with the secretary's notes, was handed to
Mr.. Brown, the local reporter of the
HERALD, who wrote the report for us. He
gave them to one of the reporters of Every
Evening, just as he received them, this
gentleman promising positively to give them
to She other papers. This 1t seems he did
not do. The motion was made to exclude
reporters because of the impropriety of
permitting them to remain. The fact that
specifications were stricken out as irrelevant
in Mr.. Deans case, and the other papers in
McWhorter's case, were not put upon the
minutes, furnishes sound argument for
the argument for the enforcement of the
rule to have the meetings private. Much
that took place In the meeting was not pub
lished in the HERALD, as the public have
no right to know it. Mr.. O'Byrne told Mr..
singley and Mr.. Humphries II they came
back they would be furnished with any part
of the proceedings the committee would
permit to be published. .....

NO CROW EATEN HERE

The Republican is fond of small wit
ticisms. 1t says the HERALD eats crow
that we are gulping down Butler. As we
never Joined In the abuse of Butler we are
not called upon to change our opinion. A
movement is not to be judged by it's leader,
it is the principle involved. and the object
to be achieved by which it is to live or die.
Butler has been called to lead the working
Democracy in contest against the Russels,
Greens, Whitneys, CASTOR, Averys, ct al.
Who at bottom are domestic enemies, and
who neither sympathize with or respect the
masses, indeed who are In conspiracy to rob
them. He has accepted the call, and from
present appearance he will smash the Re-
publican party to fragments, and cashier
the false and lattering leaders of the Massa-
chusetts Democracy. We will give sam
pie of the legislation advocated by the Re-
publican party of that State, and assented
to by the Venetian wing of the Democracy.
There was Stay Law proposed last year in
the Legislature for the Savings Banks in
Massachusetts, which would enable them to
compel depositor to give at least twelve
months notice for his money before drawing
It Remember, there was no stay law ad-
vocated for other creditors. Let us illus
trate the VOL kings of this law: Suppose
mechanic five years ago had mortgaged his
house worth $4,000 for $4,000, payable on
the first day of October, 1878. As a pru-
dent man he would put all his surplus earn
ings in some savings bank, so as to have II
ready to psy bis mortgage when it became
due. But by the Stay law the Savings
Banks won't pay his money possibly for
three years, and his mortgage becoming
due the 1st of October, would be foreclosed
by his creditors, and he would lose his
house.
Is 1t any wonder that the people broke the
ligatures of party discipline, and called to
their aid q Free Lance, as oppressed people
have often done before, to help them In
their rising against deep-seated wrong and
domestic treason. No crow eaten here.

MEMORY WONDERS.

A young lady in Makatra, is said to be
able to recite $4,000 verses of a sanscrit
poem. She will repeat any verse when the
chapter and number are mentioned, This
surpasses the German actor, who last win
ter in Philadelphia, recited entire plays OF
Shakespeare. But al l this is acquired by
study. The most wonderful efforts of mem
ory are those which enable person to re-
peat speech or poem after hearing 1t
read once. A memorable instance of this
is related to have taken place during the
reign of Frederick the Great, before he
quarrelled with Voltaire. A "memory
man" had been brought to him aiming the
most wonderful powers. The same morn
ing the King had agreed to give an audience
to the French poet, who desired to read to
his majesty poem he had just composed,
and dedicated to his royal highness. Fred
erick ordered the memory man to secrete
himself behind the window curtains when
voltaire arrived, promising to reward him
II he really could repeat the poem about to
be read, Voltaire came, made his obeisance
and read his composition. The King said
1t was very fine, but was not original. The
poet became greatly enrsged, and swore
as only an excited Frenchman can. Fred
erick repeated his opinion, and as proof of
his statement offered to produce man who
would repeat thei:poem entire. This the
poet said was impossible. The hidden man
was called, and repeated the poem. Vol
taire Knowing some imposition had been
practised upon him, but not being able to
detect 1t, ragged like heather, and tore up
his maHus cript. Explanations were then
to order, and the soethed poet was indebted
to the memory msn for transcript of his
verses,

MAINTAIN THE LAW.

We are in. favor of seeing every man
obtain the highest wages the industry he is
engaged in will bear so as to compensate
capital and skillful direction, but we
strongly censure such man as Cohen, who
yesterday headed gangs of men in Wash
ington that threatened violence to every
man working for less than $1.50 per day.
A municipality which permits such mob
despotism must be rotten to the core, and
ought to elect q dictator with the will,
power and ability to crush such riotous
anarchy at once and forever.

VALUABLE IMMIGRATION.

Last nights kilograms from Washington
tell us that according to accounts forwarded
from Port Larnia, by the United States
Consul there, that for the year ending June
80, 1878, ao,6lO persons entered the United
States from Canada to seek homes with US.
OF this number 16, 1873 were Canadians from
the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
These Canadians were principally agricul-
turalists, carrying with them to their new
homes their horses, wagons, agricultural
implements, household effects, and in q
majority of cases money enough to pur-
chase farms. Hence the Consul says they
may be regarded as very valuable acquisi-
tion to the ranks of American industry.
Delaware has received many Of the immi-
grants, and there is room for many more.
Come on friends, you are welcome here.ji

DAM COMPLETED.

The new dam of Mr.. Bancroft In course
of erection for the past three months or sc,
has been completed, the masons hsying ad
justed the last stone on Tuesday. From It's
appearance We would judge it to be very
substantial piece of workmanship, the erec.
tion Of which gave employment to large
number of men, who will necessarily be
laid of. Besides the dam they have erected
. new set of head gates, said to be the finest
on the Brandywine. The old dam, about
80 yards above the new one, has been torn
away, it being incapable Of furnishing
enough water TO run the mills. The new
one being capable of supplying all dencen-

PETER COOPER THINKS BUTLER MAY
BE HAYES SUCCESSOR.

BE HAYES SUCCESSOR.
The venerable Peter Cooper has been in.
teryiewed to this effect: ...
"How do you think this Maine election
will affect Gen. Buffers chances 7"
"Gen. Butler is sure to be elected as Gov.
ernor of Massachusetts,, and will stand q
very fair chance of being elected Presi-
dent" .
"But will not the National party insist
upon your denomination ...
II cannot consent to serve again. only
consented before because there was no other
man to represent the principles ; but,
although was willing then to endure the
obloquy and the ridicule, am too old now
to undertake another campaign. I am in
my eighty-eighth year, and half of that
gone. On my last birthday, Mr.. Fish, who
came, showed me an almanac of the year I
was born, and In thst almanac the popula-
tion of New York was stated as $4,000. I
have advocated the greenba:k principles
thus far against much opposition, as you
know, some of 1t from my own son and son-
in-law, who disagreed with my views"
"Mr. Hewitt seems to be making o
thorough investigation"
"Yes; but he makes the mistake of having
too much faith in the gold dollar as the
standard of value by which to measure
anything. Why, in Scotland they have had
paper money good from time immemorial,
and 1t has been remarked: 'They never
see guinea"
"Do you think resumption next January
will be Injurious"
ut will be the greatest curse that could
be inflicted upon this country. 1t carries a
great many evils with it in connection with
the bank system, and I almost wish I may
not live to see it. Four years ago dollar
would not buy half the property in real
estate that 1t willnow. Personally I might
be benefited In money by the ruin that
would ensue 10 many by the resumption
act, but for the good of the country at large
I want that act repealed. What do you
think has raised the circulation of the labor
newspaper organ except that it is founded
on truth and justice"
"How about Dennis Kearney, Mr.. Coop
err"
"Well, wish some one would advise him
to leave out his harsh epithets. I think If
he would do that he would have more in
fuence. Calling hard names doesn't do any
good. As an old friend of mine said, you
can catch more flies with molasses than you
can with vinegar"

Territory, have set fire either to the prairie
or the houses. The Indians have killed sew

In fight few days ago one or two Indians
were killed and one soldier wounded. The
