An Unmitigated Slander.

Notwithstanding the Delaware State
Fire and Marine Insurance Company, of
this city, is working under charter of
this State, the editor of the Erery Eoen-
ing and Commercial says "it is without
the shadow of right to exist" No COM
pany pays its losses more promptly, and
no company has more rapidly accumula-
ted so large a business. 1t was never
more flourishing, and we are told by
both the President, Mr.. Bright, and the
Vice-President, DR.. Tantum, that it never
was on so solid basis Notwithstanding
all that the blackmailing sheets may say

The negro Jim Jones, who was shot on
last Tuesday night, on the road from the
head of the Sassafras to Smyrna, and
about half mile from the line in Della
ware by the parties, Mrs. Dodson, Philip
Vincent and William Newcomb, who
brought said negro up to Delaware to
kill him did not succeed in the killing for
the reason, no doubt, the pistols were too
small for the balls that cut through the
skin to the skull and found said skull as
hard as an iron pot, and did not enter, but
glanced round and probably went out, as
[ understand one of the doctors who
have looked at the wound is Of that
opinion, and l think it no doubt fact,
for went out yesterday and had talk
with the negro. He is getting better. In
week he will be out and able to work
When Mrs. General Dodson again COM
mands her valiant troops to fire, better
weapons should he provided, for if these
two brave Marylanders had had Colts
revolvers, Jim Jones would have been
beyond giving information about the cow
ardly performance on last Tuesday night,
and if the family had taken the devil
himself into their confidence they could
not have made a greater scandal than
they have. | hope our law officers will
have the parties punished who come over
the line to cast disgrace on the State OF
Delaware. L. D.
Townsend, November %, 1873.
S.-The Herald talks about Black
bird Forest, the dense pine forest, when
there are no pines at all, and no heavy
bodies of timber; not even one hundred
acres of timber or woodland in one body
in but one OR two places in the hundred.
People here laugh at such bugbear fools,
for this forest is good farming land, and
thickly settled-no rocks or miry places.

thought, fatally injured King Still on the
road from Merchantville, Camden coun-
ty, to Homesteadville, short distance
from Camden, early yesterday morning.
Both men are colored.
On Thursday night the colored people
of Merchantville, which is three and a
half miles from Camden, got together in
the Town Hall for dance. They kept
it up until after midnight. About 1
o'clock Still started home with party of
colored women who lived at Homestead
vile. Wilson joined the party. Hesoon
became so boi-terous and insulting to the
women that Still reproved him sharply.
Wilson got into passion, drew a revol-
yer from his coat pocket and fired at
Still three times. Still was not more than
three feet from the muzzle of the wea-
pom. Que bullet passed between Stills
jugular vein and the windpipe, lodging
in the back of his neck. The other balls
were harmless. Still fell and most of the
women ran. Wilson stood near by and
was heard to say by such of the women
that stood their ground, 81 guess I've
finished him." He did not move for five
minutes or so, and then going on to
Homesteadville, left the women to take
Still to his home. Within a half hour
Constable Marsden arrested the murder
GUS negro. DR.. David Bastin probed for
the bullet In Stills neck, but failed to
find it. Last evening Still had not re-
gained consciousness and the doctors say
probably will not. Still is an unmarried
man, aged about twenty-five years and
of good character. Wilson was COM
mitted by Justice Spangler to the Mer-
chantville Jail yesterday morning. He is
a married man. His permanent home is
in the State of Delaware. He was visi-

various states. He has supplied Virginia,

this addition is to the food supply, he says
that the results are insignificant compared to
what he proposes to accomplish by stocking
the cod and msckerel fisheries. One shad
will give an average of twenty thousa nd
eggs, but the cod gives million esch. He
expects to add two hundred and fifty mil
lions of Goldfish to the present supply, and
to extend il TO tho riyss and sea fisheries as
far south as the Virginia coast, and to make
the United States quite independent of the

Two unarmed Russian war vessels,
from Cronstadt, passed clandestinely
through the sound into the Cattegst
during the night OF May 20. 1t was
supposed that their destination was this
country. The Pail Mall Gasettes Berlin
special correspondent says that a
great many pretended Russian emigrants
are passing through Germany. 1t is
believed that they are seamen, disguised,
on their way TO America to man cruisers
Ia surmise which may or may not be
correct.
The Pail Mall Gazette attempts to
limit the force OF the treaty rules BY
saying that they define the duties of a
neutral state, but that a state is not
neutral until war actually begins. The
neutrality law, however, is unmistakable,
and IL is clear that II the government has
reasonable ground to believe that any
ship is being fitted out, armed, or equip
ped in any port of the country for the
purpose Of cruising against power with
which we are at peace, 1t is bound to pre-
WIN lls cbCdpc. luc koNcIhhSht, vi
course, must be the judge of such grounds,
subject to future reclamations. The
purchase OF vessels, however, Is not such
a ground. During the late Russian aud
Turkish war, Turkey bought arms in the
United States and ships in England with
out complaint from Russia, and if Rus
sian agents are now buying vessel, in this
country. tits no violation OF our lsws. But
if belligerent power may lawfully buy
ships and arms within our jurisdiction,
and neither the ships nor the arms can
be detained separately, it is evident that
all that is necessary for the evasion OF
the law is to get them out separately,
and then to put the arms upon the ship
on the open sea.
Fortunately there can be no doubt
that the neutral duties Of the United
States, in case of war between Russia
and Great Britain, will be most honor
ably preserved, and that the law of 1918
and the rules of the treaty will be care
fully and impartially enforced. 1t Is,
however, obvious that, considering the
enormous extent of our coast and the
relations of national and state authority,
we have undertaken by the three rules
of the treaty a very difficult task, and it
Is a fair question whether, as the Pail
Mall Gazette says, the word neutral
in the treaty has not given Russia, In
the present case, a great advantage
