GinOrlty Rule.

Of the 43 Democratic members Of
the United States Senate, the South
furnishes 80 and the rest Of the COun-
try l3. In distributing the Chair
manshipj of the 20 regular Senate conf
mittees, the Caucus Committee gives
20 to the South and Q to the rest of the
country. So far as the Senate is con-
cerned, therefore, the South will, in
the words of Mr.. Black burn, "be charg.
I'd with the shaping of the Legislation
of the land" In other words, the nom
inal representatives of fourteen mil
lions of people will control the legisla-
ton of forty millions; or to put the
case more exactly, the actual represen.
tatives Of population of decidedly
less than ten millions of Southern
whites-the four and half million of
blacks in the South not being repre-
sented in the majority of the Senate
at all-will shape for some years to
come the law making of the people Of
the United States.
And the status of IL. House is prat-
tv much the same. The Democrats
owe their majority entirely to the pre-
dominance of Southern members elect
ed by the bulldozing process. A ma
jority of the House Committees will be
controlled by Southern Democrats. This
is turning the tables completely. Had
they the President they could carry
out their f4vorite doctrine Of secession
by moving the ClpitaI to Richmond, or
further South, there setting up their
'Confed rats Government, and ruling,
and holding the Northern States as
provinces by means of the Army and
Navy Of the United States.

MUCn credit is due to Representa-
tives Ware of this city, and Dean OF
White Clay Creek, for the untiring en-
ergy with which they labored in favor
of the Court House removal to this
city. There was q report prevailing in
the city yesterday that Representative
Doran of Christiana was "dodging, -
and that he could not be found at Do
yer when he was wanted, but We are
glad to see tina. the rum0r was without
foundation Mr.. Doran being present in
his seat and voting according to the
wish Of his constituents for the bill.
Indeed the people of Wilmington as
well as the friends of the removal
throughout the County, feel grateful to
all who voted for it, and towards Rep.
resentative Lambson of New Castle who
voted against it there can be none but
.he kindlest feeljrgs, as he fully re.
presented the wish Of his constituents.
Mr.. Cochran's s and Mr.. Laws motives
ia opposing the bill are best known ia
themselves. This one good days work
by Tic Legislature will go far to con
done the many sins ofemission of which
it is guilty.

N0nsensical Adyerlising.

Notwithstanding the dearly bough
experience Of the past, there are many
merchants, manufacturers and other
who advertise their business on th'
gable ends Of houses, and on pieces o
painted board stuck up amongst the
limbs Of trees and on the corners O
fences, and then there are others who
stick their cards about hotel desks and
railway stations, where they are scarcely
ever seen by the persons whose stteu.
ton they strive to attract. As general
thing those who advertise in this man.
nsr do not advertise any where else,
and ten to one in short time their
business goes where thsir advertise.
ments are--up the spout. To an Ell.
terprising person who is OH the look
out for a real wide awake place Of busi-
ness in which to make purchases or
leave orders, these cardboard adver-
tisements appear like some temporary
covering Of an air-hole, and even II
:hers is real merit in the firm and goods
advertised, the good effect is all lost.
These same merchants and nanufactur
ers have horrible antipathy to adver-
tising in newspapers-i. costs too
much. They wonld much rather spend
$40 in the card and boar. nuisance,
which may attract the attention Of a
hundred or two curiously disposed per-
sons, than to put a card costing tho
same smount in live pap.r, like the
REPuBLicAS, with a circulation of five
thousand, where it will appear in sixty
thousand papers in two weeks time,
and each paper read by at least four
persons Oh an average. Such merchants
or husinesss men who carry on their
avocation in tina. kind OF a spirit will
tell us when called upon for an adver
tisement, that it don't pay to advertise
in the nswspa pers, and they will soon
find too that their business won't pay
either. Business men might as well
realize first as last that the newspaper
is the best advertising medium. This
is an age Of newspaper reading, and
the readers expect to find thu cards Of
all enterprising, activ. business n-n
in their papers, and it need not be
thought strange by those who do not
advertise that such enterprising news
paper readers do not dark.n their
doors.

A Brief N essaye.

The first message of President Hayes
to the Forty Sixth Congress is model
for brevi,y aud yet it contains all that
is requisite. He very wisely indicates
his wish that the session ma b. a
short our, and he lays before the i've
houses of Congress no new matter on
which he invites their action. II. sim.
ply asks them to pass the appropriation
bills which were lost at the last s-s.
sion, and expresses his regret at the
emergency which requires special
session when the business of the coun
try requires legislative repose. We
are sure that the whole country shares
the wish of the President that Congress
may speedily pass the appropriation
bills and adjourn. He not only re-
frains from presenting any new sub
jects of legislation, but significantly
conveys his opinion that the country
needs peace and rest. Notwithstanding
the Indifference with which his message
is received, he sets praiscworthy ex-
ample of coming straight to the point,
himself to the point and dis
pensing with all unnecessary words.
1t ia sincerely hoped that Congress
will initiate the worthy example Of
President Hayes, expedite its business
promptly and make haste to 60 home.
1t is true the country needs rest.

The TANMANy Ring of New York who
before the election said that Mr.. Coop
er the Anti-Tammany candidate for
Mayor was weak and vascillating, has
found out their terrible mistake. For
some time he has watched the Police
Commissioners to see if there was any
prospect of any reform, but when he
found that the hope was futile he rose
equal to the situation and turned them
out of Office. Mayor Cooper has the al
most unanimous approbation Of the
whole body of the best citizens in his
strenuous resolve to put them out Of Of
fee, and those who defed him now
find they have no child to deal with.

a J slst J lsdge.

Judge Rives OF the United STATES Dis
trict Court of Virginia is one OF the few
Judges who have the determination to
soc that the laws of the United States
are not violated with impunity, and has
caused the indictment Of five State
Judges for practically annulling the act
of Congress relative to the selection OF
Juniors in the State courts. The SEQ
ton of the aot of Congress which they
have been violating provides that no
citizen otherwise qualified shall be ex-
oluded from the jury lists on account
of color, race, or previous condition.
1t further declares that any officer
charged with the duty of selecting or
summoning jurors who shall exclude o.
fail to summon any citizen for the
cause stated shall be guilty of mis-
,-demeanor, and be fined not more than
5000.
The arrest of the So judges has created
sgreat sensation, and the clamor against
Judge Rives Is very loud and violent.
lie is denounced as usurper by the
Bourbon Democracy, ana terrible things
are threatened in case these judges are
brought into the United States Court
over which the Judge presides. 1t is
only the old quarrel revived. The
State is deemed paramount. In a few
words, part is greater than the whole.
The last sentences of the charge of Judge
Rives comprises the whole matter in
dispute. "You are," said the Judge,
"to take the laws Of Congress as they
literally stand till they are declared un-
constitutional by Federal courts.
.here can be no more doubt that tn e
United States are bound to make its
guarantees good, and Congress has in
pursuance of a provision OF the organic
law enacted that color, race and pre-
vious condition Of ssrvitude shall not
work a forfeiture of any right to W hich
= citizen is entitled except under pen
aaty. The plea is set up that the act
OF Congress il not constitutional. AL
though that Is not the question, it is
proper to say that the meaning Of it is
that all over the South there are
Judges, and lawyers, and Legislators,
who in effect hold and teach that the
~ amendments to tho organic law are hot
constitutional. For ii the amendments
are valid, then the law is certainly val
id; and we risk the prediction that the
issue to be made, and now approaching
is as to the validity of the last amend
ments.
Why should men Of sense shut their
eyes to the evident tendency of south
ern, and perhaps We should say Demo.
cratic, thought, and refuse to see that
there is to be desperate struggle to
eliminate each of those amendments? 1t
matters not how solemnly the public
men Of the south affirm their acceptance
of.those amendments so longas the action
of southern courts and Legislatures is a
practical nullifcation OF the spirit and
purpose of those amendments. And
the man who refuses to see the logic Of
such action is too poor creature to dis
pute with.

A Rough Experience.


VICTORIA, Sept. 16.-Several months
ago three men. named Bradshaw. Kee'
ley and Murphy. who had been engaged
to cut wood on one OF the islands of the
northwest coast, became disconnected
with the nature OF their employment,
and left the island In o dug-out, hoping
to reach one Of the fishing establish
ments not far distant. They failed,
however. to accomplish their perilous
task, and. as days and weeks passed by
and no tidings Of them were received. II
wal surmised that they had been carried
ont to sea and drowned. or had persisted
from sheer want. But such was not the
case. A gentleman who arrived here
from tho northwest coast on board the
steamer Western Slope, reports that the
men, after drifting south thirteen days,
were upset near Cape Farewell. and res
cued by Kitkatki Indians. who took
them to Kitamatarm and there held
them In slavery. compelling them to as.
sist in making salmon traps, and allow.
ing them but one meal q day OF the
coarssst description. They remained In
this condition OF ssrvituds three weeks,
suffering very severe privations, but at
last the Kitkatkas, either from fear Of
being detected in their act, or from some
other motive, took the captives to the
establishment Of the Windsor Canning
Company, Skssna river. where they
have arrived In Q half.iamished and al.
most nude condition.

Jealousy and Shooting.

OAKLAND. Sept. 16.-Quite an excite
msut was created here on Saturday by
q. E. Wilcox attempting to kill Charles
E. Scuddsr. Although Wilcox fred two
shots at Scudder. neither Of them took
effect. Wilcox was arrested and charged
with attempt to murder. Police Judge
CLARK axsd the bail at $4,000, Frank
Simpson and Mr.. McKillican becoming
his bondsmeu. Wilcox was set at lib
erty. Wilcox has long suspected Scud.
der OF being too intimate with his wife
and last Winter made threats against
his lie. scudder denies this and says
there has been no improper intimacy
between them. "In fact" said Soud.
der, "to tell tho truth, I do not like
her" Mrs. Wilcox has not been living
with her husband since the 18th OF Jsa-
uary. She says they never lived hap
PLY together and that his treatment was
unbearabls, on which account she left
him, though she did not get q divorce
on account OF their child. Mrs. Wilcox
says There has been no intimacy between
Scuddsr aud herself, In fact they have
not been personally friendly together.
She says that Scudder has been waiting
on her sister Jennie. who lives In the
same house as she, for about two years,
and perhaps that is what caused her
husband to suspect her.
