THE LEGAL TENDER CLAUSE TO BE
REPKALKD.-The readers Of the GA
xErTE will doubtless remember that only
. few days ago in referring to the Presi
dents proposition to redeem the green-
backs with coin, the GAZETTE suggested
that "sensiole people would prefer to
pay of some port Of the bonds that re-
quire interest and let the greenbacks
float awhile longer, or turn them Into
treasury notes by repealins the legal ten-
der clause"
The resolution offered by Senator
Bayard yesterday to repeal the illegal
tender clause" we copy in another col
umn, and also the Senator's views
entire IS given to the correspoD-
dent of the N. Y. Herald. We could
not see how Congress could escape legis-

THE Repubiicda "cannot see" any
blunder In its statement that Mr.. Adams
instead of Mr.. Feaster "defeated Mr..
McMenamin by 270 majority" Well
there are none so blind as those who will
not see.
1t knows, however, that Mr.. McMena-
min has since been elected by nearly as
large . majority as he had been defeated
by. And 1t shall be made TO see that
Mr.. McMenamln is running the street
department as chall man Of the Street
Committee more economically and for
less money than it has been run for
thirty years. Mr.. McMenamin asked TO
be put at the head OF this committee
again that he might by honest, careful
efforts to run his committee economical
ly, and redeem himself from supposed
injury or neglect from which the city may
have suffered, and he is doing this, and
we trust he will continue to do il to the
end Of his term. His pay rolls are tell
ing the story in figures more eloquent
than could any words of ours.

The Republican cannot t-uthfully
charge single collector of this county
with being defaulter. AS only one or
two of Killgore's securities paid their
share of liability and one is now claiming
1t back, because of the neglect of Repub-

the GAZETTE to refer to Killgore's de-
1ault. But We did not say anything
about the Republicans Withholding
from the city its share of Killgore's de-

Uncle .Sdm's Fishing Claims.

S105,305 FOR THE FISH TWO SHIPPERS
MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT ONE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.
TORONTO, Dec. 2.-The Globe, in DIS
cussing President Hayes Message, says
The President of the United States
mentions Fortune Bay in his message,
that demand for compensation has
been made On Great Britain, and asserts
that an endeavor will be made to have
an early permanent settlement of the
fishery question. On this text the Lon
don Times priuts sermon to the Cana
dians, which might, with great propriety,
have been pitched into the waste basket.
1t would be much better that the great
English organ should say nothing than
that it should show nervousness at the
prospect of reopening the fishery ques-
ton. There is nothing warlike in ask
ing for compensation, but, on the con-
tray, something laughable in the impu-
dence with which our big neighbor de-
mands S105 900 for the fish which two
shippers only hoped to catch one Sunday
afternoon. Nor is there anything of
fensive in the Presidents declaration
that permanent settlement of the fish
cry dispute will be sought. The Cana
dians are always ready to bargain ant
sell, being quite able 10 hold their ent
up IN negotiatio IS, and when the Unitet
States want to make trade they can b,
accommodated on fair terms. Let tn,
Times mind its own business, and le
Canada mind hers, and the result of tn
negotiations concerning the fisheries will
be even more satisfactory than that @
the last, when Great Britain, by contd
ing the business to those most intereste
was for the first time able TO hold he
own in a bargain with the cute Yankees

facts the 6AzsTTs, In . comparative
sense, would not be far from right In
calling the Republicans attention to the
''purity" and "honesty" Of "the Demo
cratic State officials" especially As it was
recently said by one OF our Republican
citizens in very eloquent speech thai
he was predu to refer to the fact that
not one dollar of the public money ol

The GAZETTE is continually calling |
our attention TO the immaculate purity |
and honesty of the Democratic officials |
OF the State. Has the editor read Trea- |
surer's Herbert's reports s7-Reputlicdn.
We were not aware Of that before.
The Republican may think it is doing
us justice in making that statement.
But 1t does not. The GAZETTE has
never called "attention to the immacu-
late purity and honesty of the Demo-
cratic officials of the State" And,
therefore, our readers must see how
careless the Republican is of what it
says. We have sread Treasurer's Her
bert's reports" and commented upon
them. He was directed by the Levy
Court to publish these monthly state
ments that the people might be better
informed as to the county finances,
and the GAZETTE inserts them gratuit-
ously for the same purpose. The col
lectors are somewhat behind with their
collections, and it Is 10 stir them up 10
their duty and TO furnish information as
TO their liabilities to their securities that
this Is done. Is there anything wrong
in this; or can the Republican base an
argument thereon to prove that the
GAZETTE considers the State Demo
cratic officials immaculate" in "purity''
and ''honesty?" We have said that the
Democratic party in Delaware has had
cause to be proud of the fact that her
public money has not been wasted. And
we are justified in this. "Treasurer'
Herbert's reports" may be taken as al
evidence. He is an official and his re
ports are efforts of proofs of the ope,
honesty of the Levy Court Gail of whom
are officials) and their intention to kee,
the county and State free from the odiun
OF official defaulters and dishonesty
These reports screen nothing. The
show that the Court and the Treasure
mean to have the collectors pay up, O
their securities make good the money OF
Their books. This the collectors fo
1878 may yet all do. We have not un
derstood that any of the collectors wer
defaulters. On the contrary we hav
understood there was time in which a
could pay up in full, and meet settl,
ment with the Levy Court at the annu,
meeting in February and March, as
usual.
Still we would be justified in referrir
to the "honesty" and 'purity" of Il
Democratic officials of the State. Al
we are happy to be able to add to Il
GAzETTE's claim for honesty, the vel
eloquent remark of one of our most a.
tive and ardent Republicans. Let Il
Republican note his precise langaa,
but short time since. He said:
"In these days of peculation, Del,
ware stands fist among civilized con
munities for the rigid honesty of i
government. l am conscious that n
dime of the public money has ev,
been dishonesty used"
So much for honest Democratic Del
ware.
