O'Clock last evening. HIS family are
away from home, but were expected

Ldter.-When the officers arri vei at the
outside door the safe was found opened,
and sohd silver set of thirty pieces was
in view, and apparently undisturbed. In
coal h ID about four feet behind the
body was revolver, one barrel of which
had been discharged. An autopsy OF
the body shows that Mr.. Frye was moi
only shot through the heart, but that hi
received at least dozen stabs in the

| The indications are that he had terribl.
struggle with his assailants. HIS watcl
was missing and his pockets had beef

ro VOTERS We ask the voters oil
WILMINGTON TO read the article In an
ot,,er column on the subject OF the dis
ffsn .hisement of citizens. 1t Is copied
from the Republican of yesterday and
4, On open and pointed acknowledgment
of it, former misststements. In fact
The Republican has heretofore been de-
ludine the PEI pie by its fre1uen. repeti-
tiou of assertions that the voters Of its
Iarty were disiranclised and could not
secure the right of suffrage. 1t has done
this until the voters in its own party
have been made to thiuk it was useless
TO 90 10 pay their taxes and secure the
right to vote and they have neglected
this necessary and iwpor ant duty.
Now, the Republicans has awakened
to its erroneous course and is compelled
10 state the truth about the suffrage laws
and urge its voters to go and pay their
taxes and secure the right to vote. This
ID no more than the voters Of Phlladel
phis and New York have to do. 1t II
not so much. For in those cities maj
has 70 see that he is registered and SCI
that his tax is paid afterward. In thos'
cities there is only few days given 70
this purpose, while here man has tw'
years to do it in. We hope the Demo
erats especially will read the Repudh
cans back down, copied elsewhere, an
prof. by it by securing their right t
vote also.

NOT more than $4,000 can be real
ized of the taxes remaining on the City
Collectors duplicates for the year 1879
and not more than half that amount will
be collected by the first of January Re
publican.
Well then if the City Council can
collect $4,000 more of the taxes and
that be added to the $12S,944 now in
bnk, it will make $l68,944, with which
the council will have to run the city
government with until next April. This
would seem to establish Mr.. Guthrie's
proposition beyond doubt. The differ
ence between the Democrats starting
in the coming September with $l6s,944
in hand and their start last September
without dollar in the city treasury and
An overdrawn account of 81 1000 in bank
is 20 plain that any man can see for him
self the difference. But the outlook il
better still. For the Democrats mex
year will not be burdened with lot
bad jobs costing thousands Of dollars
left on their hands to finish up. 1t reall
did seem that the last Republican Coun
Gil knew they would not be re-electe
and they therefore went to work an
spent all the money, and contracted fo
using large part Of the next years il
come also. How different is the cas-
now. The Democrats have cleaned Il
all the debts and have secured for t
next Council, whatever it be, resource
in hand to the amount Of $16e,944
without including outstanding claim
liens for paving, &C., that ought to /
collected at once amounting to abol
$4,000. Let the Republican dry up.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN JOB --Sprink-
ling French street at cost Of $lo per
week is another old Republican bequest
which the Democratic Council ought to
get rid of. Mr.. Norton is certainly right
In his expressions of dissent from such
partiality. The old English Bulls ex-
penses are constantly recurring to tax
our people and this is one of his back
kicks. The street is free from noise aud
the most pleasant to live on. Why tax
the whole people to sprinkle it? This is
a job that ought to be discontinued as
soon as possible. I.r

Hon. JUDAH p. BENJAMIN, @. c.,
formerly U. S. Senator from Louisiana,
and Secretary of State Of the Confederate
States has lately purchased residence
IN Paris for which he paid 300, 900 francs
cash. 1t is added that this large sum
does not exceed one-half 81 his yearly
income from his practice in the highest
courts of Great Britain. To these courts
the large pressure upon bis tins and
labor has compelled Mr.. Benjamin to
limit his practice. The briefs declined
by him would double his income. But,
alway accustomed TO do well and COM
pletely everything he undertook, he has
been forced 10 reduce the amount Of his
labor within the compass Of his wonder
ful capacity and industry. While in
Washington Mr.. Benjamin and Hon.
James A. Bayard always occupied the
same house and were boon companions.
The New Orleans Daily Democrat says
"The strong manifesto ions, are commu-
nicated through old friends who have re-
Gently visited Mr.. Benjamin in London,
of his sincere, earnest and unchanged
sympathy with and devotion to his old
friends in this city and to the State
where he first embarked in the struggles
| of manhood and achieved his earliest
triumphs. Time and distance have in.
deed strengthened these ties to the lant
of his warmest afr ctions, which so many
of his relatives claim as their home and
in which repose the dust of his parents
and many Of his friends and relatives
Doubtless no greater pleasure could b.
offered to him than that to which III
looks forward with enthusiastic hopeful
ness-of revisiting the scenes and reviv
ing the friendships Of the days OF hi
youth and manhood"

In RHODE ISLAND, poor men who
happened to be born in Ireland, Ger
many, England, Scotland, or in any
other foreign country except Africa, are
excluded from voting by the Republican
party which has had the control of that
State for years. The poor soldier who
fought by the side of Ex-Governor
Sprague through the four years rebel
lion went home to find he had no right
to vOte-that he was still mere serf
after fighting four years in the South to
secure the right of the neg oes to vote
the Republican ticket as directed by the
carpet-bag thieves. 1t is useless to say
the Republicans in Rhode Island are not
chargable with this wholesale disfran-
chisement of voters, because they are .
1t was only few years since that they
became ashamed of 1t, and undertook to
alter the law but instead Of doing SC
they made the law worse by making il
alterable by vote at an election, an'
they have ever since voted it down. /
q man dared to offer to vote against Re
publican dictation he was at one
threatened with a discharge from th
factories, and his children also. Wha
freer is Rhode Island than Ireland? A
property holders in Ireland have 81
to vote. Russian serfdom is no wor.
than Rhode Island serfdom. And ye

audarity to denounce free suffrage
