ONE MILLION A NEAR.-The people of
Delaware, we are told, have paid one
million dollars year for the last fifteen
years,in taxes 20 keep up the most oppres-
sive government in the world. The Z. S.
government refused to pay to the State
of Delaware the paltry sum of S2S, 900
Notwithstanding it had acknowledged
the debt, and all tho time twas depicting
Delaware at the rate of about SO, 900 a
month. Only think of it What does
Delaware get for this S1,0O0,00O year =?
1t is ground out of her people by means
of taxes Whiskey and tobacco; and
cloth and linen; and sugar and coffee
and iron and brass in fact there is a tax
on everything we eat and everything we
wear to keep up this rascally governed
eountry-why we get next TO nothing
\ million dollars a year. Why that
would enable the State to build an iron
clad navy, and keep up respectable
standing army. In fact the fathers would
not have paid it. They would have fought
before they could have been made to do it

Poor old Tweed he was the only great
thief who was a Democrat, and he was
pursued to his very death. He died in
prison yesterday After they got back
from MN the stolen property, seeing
that the two great Republican thieves
that were connected with him were let
off and escaped with much of their pslf
and there were hundreds of Radical
thieves in Washington and all over the
country, it did seem that old Tweed
might have been let out to die. Tweed
was loyal thief The poor loved him,
and 1T has been said by those who knew
hlspopularityln his neighborbood thathad
he been released he would at once have
been nominated and reelected to office
There Will be large funeral over the
only great Dem pcratic thief no doubt.
IL grleyes his friends to think that the
tmeying mania in Washington and by
the Radical otficeholders all over the
country should have reduced so noble a
man as Tweed Is said to have been in
some things.

THE EDITOR ofthe Cecil Wing indulges
a very unfavorable opinion of us. This
is very natural. The GAZETTE has a
large circulation ih Marylad, and its op-
position to negro companionship for the
whites at the polls and during the cam
paign which the Wig advocated to Sc
cure negro votes, ed many young Repub-
hcans into the Democratic ranks, and left
the Republican party in Cecil long way
in the minority. Negro companionship
is popular with thu Radical Republicans
the war-howlels, such rs Cresswell,
Blaine, Sergeant and Butler, and it was to
be expected that such sensitive people as
control the Wing should become nervous
over the hanging pf two of their voters
merely for the tritling offense of attempt
ing to kill the sband and then outragin ng
the person of poor white woman who
had come into Delaware to seek work for
a living. Now, we will inform the Hhjg

VERY HOT, INDEED .

We have friend in this city who bought
SIS per share, and when the stock advanced to
$3.50 his wife, a prudent, far-seeing lady, first
begged and then insisted that he should sell
but our friend thought that he knew more
stead of following his wife's advice, he ny
pothecated the stock which he had paid for in
full, and bought some more Sierra Nevada on
a margin Well, to curtail this story, last
Monday our friend was sold out, leaving him
about 600 in debt to his broker. Y s.
terday afternoon we met our unfortunate
friend holding thermometer in his hand,
rushing excitedy down Carson street.
whats the matter, old fellow Where
are you rushing to ? inquired we Exhibit
ing his Thermometer, he replied " I'm GO
ing to Fox's, to exchange this thing" We
remarked that the thermometer appeared to
be in a good and reliable condition. That's
true enough" answered our bankrupt friend,
" but the darned thing only registers about
200 degrees. | require one for my sitting
room, that will register about 700 degrees, as
my wife runs the temperature up very high
when | am at home, since the bottom fell out
of Sierra Nevada" We dropped silent,
but significant, tear upon the outstretched
hand of our prosecuted friend, and vowed
never to disregard the advice of our female
relatives in stock matters.

YESTERDAY.

In the morning, we started toward our
toll and remarked as wepassed down Robinson
street that an old favorite willow tree which
grows in the door-yard of a lady friend of ours
was beginning to get its Springtime buds on,
Cooled by this marvellous Autumn), We be-
thought ourselves of how quiet and peaceful
was the time--how cumbersome the day.
How vain and futile are all human prognostics.
How events did accumulate; how excitements
did accrue and awaken the growing day
Among the earlier and less exciting incidents
was the meeting with John Altman, the ire
pressible mail contractor. John was come fresh
from Bodie and had the brown and dust of
travel upon him. Meantime Pants houses,
the Ormsby and the White, were busy with
the sounds of guests coming and going, chat
ting and climbing the friendly glass. Anon
there was jumping match in which one
1.-THE and agile young fellow leaped a single
leap of we'll nigh eleven feet. This and some
double and treble leaps drew crowd of look
ers on and critics Then gathering multi
tude i'll front of Charley Friends (who by the
way, returned from the Bay yesterday morn
ing), attracted attention to a dead dog just
gone of poison. He came close by Bob Dun
can s feet, made quiet dumb show with his
nose, as if to attract attention, and then lay
down and yielded up the doggish ghost of him
Bye-and-bye while some buzzing lockers

they said ''to give him lesson which would
make him stay at home" Then, as they let
him 90 they touched off the bunch of fire
crackers they had tied to his tail; and as he
departed wildly homewards he left behind
him streak of fire and column Of smoke
like unto retreatlng army. He went off in
blaze of glory, A Chinaman who had dropped
a brown paper bag filled full of Salt Lake eggs

walk omelet that that which thus claimed the
pathetic attention of this son of the Flowery
Kingdom. Some velocipede races on the

tracted much attention and much applause
The most successful participant was diminu
