A week or ten days ago, when Coun
ty Treasurer Herbert published stat.
ment of the taxes levied in New Castl;
county, the amount collected and tn.
amount uncollected, we called attention
to the delinquencies Of tine collectors o.
Appoquinimink and Blaekbird Hun
dreds, and knowing that Samuel TowR
send, who keeps those two lower Hun
dreds under his watclful care and
guidance, atominates dishonesty and
pecnlatiOn, We called upon him to tell
us what he knew about 1t, or 20 give
some reason why those two Hundreds
that always save the Democratic party
in the county, are always dsfaulters
In paying their taxes. We have
looked and waited in vain for
an answer from Mr.. Townsend, but
hearing that he was unwsll We charita-
bly, accepted that as an excuse for his
prolonged silence. We were somewhat
surprised however, yesterday when We
scanned the columns of the Gazette"
to find that the first letter our Apo
puinimink friend wrote upon his recov-
cry vas about Delaware College, pitch.
ing into that institution in the vigor'
Gus style for which he is 10 noted. He
calls it THAT old pauper Newark, or
more latterly Delaware College, and
says II is trying again to get its claws
into the State Treasury, and that while
il calls the State cousin" like the
mosquito it is sucking its life blood. In
this vigorous style he go-s for the'scalp
Of Delaware College, but he is as ST.
lent as the grave about the delin-
quent lax collectors Of Appoquinimink
and Black bird Hundreds. We know
that Mr.. Townsend IL homes: and that
b. is just as much opposed to the DE-
faulting tax collectors a. he il to
what h- thinks, perhaps truly too, the
wanting ambition and the avaricious-
ness Of Delaware College, and We fully
expected he wsuld, when he wrote
next, EXPOSE the dsfalcations Of those
tax collectors who live right under his
immediate eye. II may b~, however,
that Mr. Tow nsend did not sse or read
our call upon him for information in
regard " the glazing delinquency Of
the tax collector in the Hundred in
which no lives, therefore, to avoid such
q contingency occurring again, We will
mail him . marked copy Of the RKPuB-
ucAx containing this article, that he
may not fail in his next letter TO the
"Gssett-. to tell the taxpayers Of the
county Why it h that Appoquinimink
and Blsckbird Hundreds roll up such
tremendous Democratic majorities, and
yet these Hundreds are always default
srs in the payment Of the taxes levied.
This ia information that The taxpayers
Of New Castle county want, and there
is nobody more able to give such in
forma ton in regard - the two lower
Hundreds, where delinquencies always
occur, than our esteemed friend, Samu-
el Townsend. Let us hear from him.

SINCE WRITING an article elsewhere
published in our editorial columns, in
reference to Samuel Townsend's letter
to the Gazette, " in which he denoun-
ced Delaware College, but forgot to say
anything about delinquent and default
ing tax collectors Of his own Hundred,
he has written letter to the Morning
Herald" reading Senator Bayard en-
tirely out of tie Democratic party, and
landing him safely in the Republican
camp. The war against the Delaware
Senator is becoming very bitter. Even

We ARg BEGINNING to have some light
lot in upon the manner in which the
Baltimore bull carried the last
election, and frsudulently elected Hin.
kle to Congress. Before the United
States District Court in Baltimore ON
Saturday last Judge Bond fined Henry
Bowman, 3 Democratic Judge nvs dol
lars and sentenced him TO twelve
months Imprisonment for refusing psr.
mission to the United States Supervisor
To inspsc. the ballot boxes before the
voting began. Lewis Coleman, another
Democratic Judge, was fined fifty dol
lars and sentenced to twelvs months
Imprisonment for obstructing the Uni
ted States Supervisor and stufing the
ballot box. John Bollman and Dennis
Cassidy for obstructing the Supervisors,
we're each fined Eve dollars and senten-
ced to eight months imprisonment. J.
G. GUIDE and walter Tucker were fined
five dollars each and given twelve
months imprisonment. John Poultney
for assaulting negro voter and Dep.
uty Marshal was fined Eve dollars and
imprisoned twelve months. These U.
S. election laws are those that the Dem
ocrats want repealed and are lacking
to the appropriation bills in order to
force Repu blicans to vote for the repeal
or defeat the appropriations, and it is
this kind Of legislation thathr. Bayard,
rising above party, no vigorously and
successfully opposed. fall the Demo-
Gratis who committed such offences as
We have noted, were convicted, there
would not be psnitentiariss, jails and
forts enough in the United States to
hold them.

What would the world be to s0ne
people if they could not gossip? 1t
seems almost necessary to their happi-
ness, and we might almost say TO their
earthly existence. Gossippsrs abound
everywhere, and there is never . lack
Of subjects to gossip about, and il there
should not be subject it requires a
very small stretch Of gossipper's i'm
aginaticn to create a subjsct. These
lively, slippsry-tongued people, like
every other evil that has to be endured,
have their uses like everything else.
They some how keep society stirred up
TO It's utmost depths and prevent 1t
from becoming stagnant, as the winds
keep the waters OF the Sea in motion
and prevent them from becoming pu-
trid and unhealthy. There is really q
great deal Of gossip that has no malig-
nifty in it, and many good p-opl. in
dulge in it because they have nothing
else to talk about.
Gossippsrs ''livs, move and have their
being" principally At church fairs,
suppers and socisbles, and they are de-
lighted If invited to tss party where
they have . good chance to haul over
their neighbors' Affairs and parade
them before the public. 1t is very
doub tful II ever the disposition ~ ges-
sip will BE- cured though there are va
rious ways BY which its evils may BE-
nitigated. A writer in giving his
views upon this subject suggests cul.
taIs ~ . very good cure, and gives Is .

have met them in galleries of art, We
have caught glimpsss Of them going
from a bookstore or library, with .
fresh volume in their hands. When
We meet them they are fnll of what
they have seen or read. They are
brimming with questions. One topic
Of conversation is dropped only to give
place to smother in which they are in
tsrssted. We have left them, after a
delightful hour, stimulated and re-
freshed, and during the whole hour
not neighbor's garment was soiled by
70 much as touch. They knew some
thing and wanted to know more. They
could listen as we'll as talk. To speak
freely of a neighbor's doings and be-
longings would have seemed an imper-
Thence TO them, and of course, an i'm
propriety. They had no temptation to
gossip, because the doings OF their
nsighbors formed subject very much
less interesting than those which grew
ont Of their knowledge and culture"

How 10 Inyesligaae.

Some of the counties aud cities OF
New Jersey have for number Of years
been systematically robbed by their
officers, until one city has become en-
tirsly bankrupt, and one county has
beeu 80 ruisously plundered that the
taxpayers have turned at last upon the
Office holders and sent number Of
them to the penitentiary. The Legis.
.lature, in view OF these populations,
frauds and robberies, have passed a
law making it more easy to detect ras-
cality among city and county officers,
by requiring Justices Of the Supreme
Court Of the State, whenever they are
asked TO do 80 by twenty-five frsehold-
srs, to appoint An investigating com
mission with full power to examine
into the management Of public affairs.
The Gazette, of this city, approving
ly says that this will enable the tax
PAYERS Of that State to look into the
management Of the affairs Of cities,
towns and counties in manner which
il taken advantage of, will make future
extravaganoes and peculations there in
public Affairs, somewhat difficult. We
agree fully with our neighbor in regard
To the beneficial effects Of such law
for New Jersey, and we cannot for the
life Of us see why such law would not
have good results in Delaware, and
strange to say, and yet it is true, that
the Gazette" has vigorously opposed
every step looking to even an inquiry
into county affairs in Delaware. Even
simple resolution offered in the Leg
islature to ascertain what the emolu-
ments Of the county Offices amounted 70
annually, found scarcely any friends
among the members OF the present
Legislature, though large majority
of tn. citizens of New Castle county,
especially ARE in favor ofthe resolution,
but the Gazette" opposes in Delaware
what it favors in New Jersey.
Ir WILL BE seen by our letter from
Devsr, that Representative Dean will
come to time on Wednesday TO-
morrow in his demand for county in
yestipation which few days ago was
so summarily disposed OF, only Mr..
Dean and Speaker Chandler voting fol-
it. There will not be the excuse then
that before was urged-nobody peti
tioning for it-as Mr.. Dean is backed
in his demand by 1000 petitioners from
New Castle County. Those who made
this their excus. before will now have
to invent some other reason, but Mr..
Ware who opposed it because it did not
include Kent and Sussex, can still
stretch out his sheltering wings over
the defaulting tax collectors and County
Treasurers of those two counties.

DEMOCRACY is a sentiment not TO be appalled,,
corrupted or compromised. II knows no baseness,
covers 10 no danger, Expresses no weakness. Fear
less generous and humane, 1t rebnkes the arrogant
cherlshes honor and sympathises with the humble.
It asks nothing hut what 1t comedies; 1t comedies
nothing but what 1t demands Destructive only of
despotism IL is the sole conservative of liberty la
Dor and property. 1t is the sentiment of freedom,
OF equal obligations. 1t is the law of nature per
yadins the law Of the land. The stupid, the sell
fish, the base in spirit may denounce 1t as vulgar
thing; but in the history of our race the Demo
cratic principle has developed and illustrated the
highest moral and intellectual attributes OF our
nature. Yes, this is noble, magnanimous, sub
lime sentiment, which expands our affections, en-
arges the circle Of our sympathes and elevates the
soul of man until, claiming an equality with the
best he rejects as unworthy OF his dignity any po
litcal immunites over the humblest of his fellows
Yes, ii is an ennoblng principles; and may that
spirit which animated our fathers in the Revolutions
