FUNNY, ISN'T 1T?

From the Times.
The world movesl Delaware Wi hold
her annual State Fair at Dover in Sep
tember, and as is Common on such occa-
sions, there will be displayed with the
fattest bullocks and roundest purkers and
fieecie]t sheep and sauciest roosters, va
rious specimens of American eloquence.
And who has Bourbon Delaware chosen
as the orator of the occasi on? Not
Richard Vaux, who knows that there
wasn't flood, nor Benjamin Harris, who
can prove that there wasn't any war nor
Bob Toombs, who Is yet ira ming himself
to call the roll of his slaves on Bunker
Hill; but DAM Il II. Chamberlain, the
peripatetic Governor of South CArolin .,
and the last of the line OF Executive car
pet-baggers that once swarmed over the
South like the locusts of Egypt. And
Delaware has done well. Chamberlain
will draw, and that is what the Delaware
State Fair wants. Besides, he will draw
TO some purpose, for he is an accompli Sh-
ed scholar and of broad-guage inteilec-
tual attaiuments. Then he ha, courage,
and his courage and ability will prompt
him to say something, and it's probable
that he will say much that the Blue Hens
Chickens are unaccustomed to hear. In
short, MIR. Chamberlain is just the sort
sort of a man who will give the Della
wareans the rather novel sensation of
making them think, and that is always
h althy in a State that has been drowsy
for a century or more, and never was
drowsier than to-hay. Chamberlain's
mission to Delaware is ju,t tue right
thing at the right time. He may make
few utterances which will accord exactly
with the views of his auditors, but what
he says will be well said, an those who
hear hun can think things out the other
way if they prefer to do 30. That will
require thinking, however, and thinking
is good thing for all people in general
and Delawareans in par leu ar. Proctor
Knott and Sunset Cox are to play "end
men" on the occasion, with fresh jokes
| for the galleries, and upon the whole the
d splay will be a memorable one for the
little Commonwealth of the Bayards
and the Saulsburys.

Precautions Against Yellow
Fever

Owing to the prevalence of yellow few
rim New Orleans,the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany has discontinued receiving freight
from the North for Austin, Galveston, ,and
other points beyond by way of New Or
leans, for the present. The general freight
agent of the road Mr.. Wilson) says that
when he receives official information that
there is danger from the disease at either
Cincinnati or Baltimore then immediate
precautions will be taken by stopping all
shipments of freight east from those cit
les. Mr.. Dadmun, the passenger agent
of the road, says that he is in receipt of
no information that there is any danger
or that the disease was making strides
northward, but if circumstances required
it he wouldtake ample precautions.
The daily gazette., 1878-08-03

The Philadelphia Times, edited and
controlled by A. X. Mcclure, devotes
considerable attention to Delaware, al
ways, of course, speaking disparagi ngly
of the State and her citizens. This is not
surprising, since we are known to have a
whfpping-post, which a great many peo-
pie from conscious guilt and an innate
dread of punishment for crime dislike.
The Times has favored its readers with
two effusions in reference to affairs IN
this State, this week, ono from cores
pondent who signs himself Gath, who
makes his living by writing for newspa-
pers, and who, 1t Is said, is so utterly in
capable of discerning between truth and
fict, on, that he is unable to sell his wares
in a respectable market and has to dis
pose of them at low prices, to such pa
pers as the Times The other appears az
an editorial, and we judge was written
by the editor himself. 1t eulogistic of
Governor Chamberlain, who it says is To
deliver an address at an agricultural fair
in this county.
We have nothing to say at present of
Cham mberlain, but If he has been invited
to deliver an address in this State, We eare
sorry he should be prejudiced by any en-
dorsement of the Times. The praises OF
some men are far more damaging than
their censures, and whatever Chamber
lain may think of 1t, no intelligent man
IN Delaware would desire any puff from
the Philadelphia Times 1t has ruined
men by its praises and harmed none Dy
its censures. It's puff of Chamberlain
will 10 him no good, and its vihfication
of the good people of this state, will do
them no injury.

THE ARMY COMMISSION TO NEW YORK
VERY LITTLE PROSPECT OF ANY
PRACTICAL RESULTS.
WARRINGTON, August 2, 1873.
1t is reported here that The adjourn
meat of the Army Commis ion, recently
in session at White Sulphur Springs,
was brought about by members abscn-
ting themselves until there was bot a
quorum present. The members appoin-
ted on the part Of the Senate were Sena-
tors Burnside, Plumb and Butler, and on
the part of the House, Messrs. Banning,
Bragg, DIbrvll, White and Strait. Sena-
tor Plumb ana Congressman Bragg
failed to meet with the commission, aud
when the results of the lsbors of the diff
ferent army officers In proposing plans
for a reorganization of the army were
examined, and the strong conflict ng
views of the prominent Off cers subjected
t. critical consideration, the members
prevent were convinced that they had
undertaken anything but holiday task.
The debate In their secret sessions also
revealed tue fact that among those pre-
sent there were two plans of rsorganiza-
ton OF the army, actually necessary for
the permanent improvement of this
branch of the service. OF documentary
TO ms there was no lack, but harmonic
ing the aggregated opinions of the army
would be approved by majority of the
commits ion, was more than the pleasan,
temperature of Virginia mountains
seemed capab OF producing In the
midst Of the uncertainty came the sug
gestion Of Senator Plumb that the com
mission ought to practically investigat,
the operations ofthe army GU the frontier
b,fore reducing their views to conclu
81 ms, which Congressman Banning ant
Dibrell thought was an excellen; susges

THE FISHERY QUESTION.
1t has been enormously assumed in nu-
merous press dispatches that the settle
ment of the fishery question with Great
Britain has been completed by the payment
of the Halifax award, and will only contin-
ue to be discussed in regard to the occur
rences at Fortune Bay, and the revision by
the two Governments OF the Newfoundland
Legislature. which isassumed to contravene
American treaty rights. On the contrary,
it is believed that the two Governments
whishing to avoid the difficulty which may
arise at the expiration of the twelve years
fixed on by the treaty of Washington, will
promptly address themselves to a more
comprehensive and permanent adjustment
of the question.

Killing of Thomas Wilson, etc.

National Associated Press to Star.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 29.-The prospects of
the Commercial Convention to assemble in
this city on Thursday next grow brighter
every day. Thus far communications from
forty delegations. in all about three hun
dred delegates, have been received an
nouncing their intention to be present.
From reliable source it is ascertained
that work on the New Orleans Pacific
Railroad has progressed steadily all sum-
mer and, with the exception of sixteen
miles, the entire road bed is graded. The
work is now progressing in the parishes of
RoXpides and Watchitoches and upon the
Crosse Tete
1t is ascertained from a gentleman who
left Franklin on Wednesday that no at
tempt has been made to investigate the
killing of Thomas Wilson, whose body has
not been exhumed. The Coroner has not
even pretended to hold an inquest, no wit
nesses have been examined, and, in fact,
the story of the attack upon Newmans
house and the killing of Thomas Wilson is
almost forgotten.
Acting District Attorney Wilson is not
crazy, as was reported-quite the contrary.
On Wednesday he took the boat at Frank
lin and came down to Morgan City, appar-
emily in the best of health There was a
vague intimation at Franklin that some
members of the Police Jury were objection
able, and hence the destruction OF the bal
lOt-boxes and returns.

In the case of Drew against Irwin. Capt.

contest case. The Court remarked that IL
had not been reached owing to the time 90
cupied by the case now on trial, viz: Star

presumed the parties would be enti-
tied to an early trial, but as this was
the last day he would sit in Room No. 1,
the case would have to be heard
by Judge Moore, who would sit
in that room next Monday.
He presumed that Judge Moore would give
them the first opportunity of hearing next
week, but he could not answer as to what
Judge Moore would do. The witnesses were
then discharged until Monday morning
