THE Detdrdredn takes a very convent
snt mode of getting rid Of its lnsolence.
1t is pleasant thing to apologize where
no ibsolence was intended. However,
we will not press the matter, since it is so
disagreeable to the Deidcdredn TO be
told that it helped 10 influence the defeat
of the bill to convert the debt of Della
ware into Al per cent. bond. Our City
Council have since done just what our
State Legislature might have done had it
taken the advice Of the GAZETTE. We
only wish TO call the attention Of the
members Of the Legislature to this fact
and remind them that the GAZETTE
pressed the matter upon them before
they met in session and all the time of
their session.
The State of Georgia has completed
the conversion OF her S per cent. loan
into per cent. loan without the cost OF
dollar for advertising or any other pur-
pose, except, we pIesume, the engraving
OF the plates and printing the bonds. <,
least we are told this in the newspapers
and we published it in yesterdays GA.

PHILADELPHIA Ledger Ind.) April "a.

To Senator Davis, OF Illinois. next al
ter Mr.. Bayar,i, is due the credit OF de-
batting the subjects before the Senate ID
a dispas1ona'e and state,manlike tone
and spirit. With judgement and style OF
discussion tempered by his long service
on the bench, he has brought both to
hear on the controversies in the Senate
aud these are methods that deserve
praise whatever may be thought OF the
merits or drift of the argument itself: IL
so happens, however, that the speech Oh
Judge Davis delivered in the senate on
Tuesday contains substance as wen emu
tied to applause as the moderation OF its
tone. 1t was frequently stated IN these
columns when the Southern states were
kept in a.condition of disability, prlva-
ton and maladministration Tor many
years after the war that the country
| could not prosper ~ whole while mat
great section, containing more tnah
| third of its population, was in suffering
condition, governed by the ascendehcy
| of n spawn OF adventurers and spoilers
This Is a fact to ne remembered now as
well ss then, and the majority OF the
present should likewise keep it in nina
that no aggressive spirit, thu progress OF
too much zeal, or the prompting OF re-
sentiment shall be allowed to bring troops
of injuries to any part of the country IN
its train.

A Gazette reporter has been spending
the day in inspecting the safes rescued
from the ruins, and IN gathering notes as
to their condition. The result of the in
vesligation proves beyond all doubt that
the Hall safe, manufactured In Cincinna-
II, OHIO, is the most reliable safe repre-
scented. There were safes from half a doz.
en- al lfierent manufactures In the lire, and
their contents were in all stages between
n scorch and utter ruin. Some had 10 be
blown open, others cut 10 pieces with
chisels; some were a mass of broken plas-
ter and warped plates. Others led
sound on the OUTSIDE, while within there
was nothing saved. Some lost knobs,
others had the com biDation com pletely
upset. In every case the Halls safe open
ed without a hammer or chisel, and the
contents were wholly untouched. The
County Treasurer's safe (Hall's) lay in n
mass OF com bustibles upon which stream
OF burning oil was running for eighte en-
hours, ard as soon as IL cooled of Mr..
Boyd opened 1t without the least hesita-
ton, and the contents were as good as

THE Empress of Austria is a good
tenant. 1t is said that she has already
expended on Lord Longfords place iIr
Ireland, which she hired the past season,
Sl0,000,O00, and further paid $1,000 rent.
She has taken it for next season on con-
dition that, if prevented from going, she
is to be let off by paying bonus. 1t is
curious that the Empress-Queen OF
Austro-IIungary should go TO Ireland

General Bob Toomb 5, Of Georgia, has
some original and strong views on the
subject of carrying concealed weapons.
demonstrating with representative of
tile Atlanta Constitution the other day on
the course Of his paper, he said : sit won't
keep people from killing each other 10
abolish weapons. 1t will have the oppo-
site effect. Everybody is expected to lay
aside his pistol and the first thing you
know some d-n coward, who regards
neither law nor honor, will shoot you in
the back. 1t is all wrong, Sir. A man
ought to carry arms when he thinks his
life is in danger. 1t is not wrong for him
to do so and, so far as am concerned
| will do it whenever l want to defend

The JUMEs.- The RepuJGcdn still

cause for any attempt to give the jury "A

more Republicans than Democrats, and
16 Democrats and only 26 Republicans

THE NEW YORK ELECTION.
[Frorp the Daily of Nov. II


 On next Tuesday the political hosts in the great Empire State wlll meet in battle array and decide one of the most important political struggles of tue season, and one which will have great influence in shaping the policy of the Democratic party in regard to the Presidential campaign of 1880. The Democrats have as their Gubernatorial nomi- nee, Mir. Robinson, who. at the previous election not only carried New York City by
 large majority, but swept the State at large. The Republicans have for their standard bearer, Mr. Cornell, who has here tofore proved himself to be bod, skillful and popular leeder, and who has entered
 the campaign with determination to over come all obstacles, and free the State from
 Democratic rulc The fight will also decide
 the fate of Uncle sammy Tilden and SeBa- tor Conkling. The success of Robinson
 means Tildenism, and all that the name im- plies, and opposed to this, We ind beside
 the Republican party under the leadership of Senator Conkling and Mir. Cornell, the Tammany organIzation marshalled under John Kelly, determined through the defeat of Robinson. to administer such a rebuke to the sl, old fox who inhabits Gramraercy Park, as to shelve his Presidential aspir- ations forever The Democrats coneede Cornell large majority outside of New York City, but hope to poll such vote there as to insure the election of their candidate. On the other hand the Repub- iicaus feel confident that the split caused by the rupture with the Tammanyites will so divide the vote in the city that Robinson will not more than get bare majority, and when Cornell comes laundering at the Gates of Gotham, backed by the large vote of the State outside. he will ride triumphantly into Albany, and thus forever break the backbone of Tlldenism, and prove that the strong will of the people is greater than the defunct Democratic leaders famous "barl.' y

An Astonishsd Conductor.

''Get aboard, old limpy," said pert con- ductor to an aged, plainly dressed lame man. standing on the platform waiting for the signal to depart; get aboard, old limpy, or you will be left"
 At the siguAi the old gentleman quietly stepped ab ard and took seat by himself When the conductor, in taking up the tick cts, came ro him and demanded his fare he replied:
 sI de not pay fare on this rosd.n
 "Then will put you of at next station.' T The conductor passed on, and passenger who had seen the transaction said to him
 "Did you know that old gentleman"
 sNo, did not"
 "Well, it is Mr-, the president of this road.r
 The conductor changed color and bit his lips, but went on and finished taking up the tickets. As soon as he had done he re. turned te told limpy" aud said:
 "Sir, resign my station as conductor
 "SIt down here, young man. do moi wish te harm you; but we run this road fol profit, aud to accommodate the public, and we make it an invariabie rule to treat every person with perfect civility whatever gsrt he wears, or whatever infirmity he suffers This rule is imperious upon every one ol our employees. l shall not remove you foI what you have done, but it must not oe re peated."
 That conductor sfierward never saw among his passengers another "old limpy.
