News was received In England yesterday
OF the complete success OF Lord Chelmsford's
movement forward to the relief OF Col. Pear
son. who has been surrounded at Ekowe for
several weeks past by the Zulus. The Eng
lish force was very large and there was little
doubt that 1t would succeed In its purpose.
The only fear entertained was that Col Pear
son did not have sufficient provisions TO hold
out until the relieving column could reach
Ekowe. King Cetywayo showed himself as
skillful commander and general as ever IN
opposing this advance. II was Impossible ior
him to prevent IT, bit he did all III his Pe#ef
to retard 1t. At the same time that the Eng
lish forces reached Ekowe and released COL
Pearson and his men from their unpleasant
cooped-up condition, an army OF Zulus sur
prised the other advancing English column
under Col. Woods at Luneberg. and, although
repulsed, seriously crippled 1t.

The Congressional Directory for the pres
emit Congress shows that more States are rep
resented by native congressman than ever in
the history Of the country. There are no
longer any oarpet-bag representatives from
the South, and the two sections, therefore,
are about even In the matter Of representa-
ton, there being as many Southern born
Congressman representing Northern districts
as rice cersd. Georgia, Delaware and South
Carolina are the only States that are wholly
represented by native-born Congressman.
All the representatives from Virginia but one
a. Virrinians. The delegations from Mary
lar Maine, Vermont, Tennessee, Conrecti-
cut and Pennsylvania are also native-born,
with but one exception in each instance.
Pennsylvania Is probably the most conserva-
tive State in the Union in the choice Of its
congressman All of them but one are ma
tives of the State, and not only natives but
born In the very districts which they now
represent. They have never moved from
home and their constituents, therefore KNOW
their history from the cradle. Ten States are
unrepresented by single native-Arkansas,
Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Mime
sofa Nevada. Oregon, Wisconsin and Texas.
Wisconsin sends six New Workers for Con-
gAssmen, and both OF the Senators from Col
orado are also from the Empire State. Inc
Congressman for these new States are mainly
from New York, Massachusetts,, Virginia.
North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.
which States seem to be especially produc:.
tive Of statesmen. Louisiana sends only one
native-born Congressman to Washington,
John Ellis, being otherwise represented by
two Tennessesans, two Kentuckians, an
Arkansian, q Georgian and Vermonter.
There is only one other native OF this State IN

FOREIGN ITEMS.

The London Eramieer learns from relia-
bic source that every year OF MacMahon's
Presidency cost him 100000 out OF his pri-
vate means. His estates which in 1873 were
quite free from debt, are now heavily mort
gagged.
London has more Roman Catholics than
Rome more Jews than all Palestine, more
Irish than Belfast, more Scotch than Aber-
deem, more Welsh than Cardiff; Its beer and
gin shops, placed one after another In a line,
would reach sixty-two miles, and one entire
quarter OF the city Is Inhabited by 100000 OF
the most miserable wretcheS and worst
thieves to be found on EARTH
Lord Chelmsford Is said to be the saddest
man In Africa The rout at Isandnla was so
sudden and complete that Lord Chelmsford
lost the whole OF his baggage, including his
stars and orders-a misfortune which seems
to be viewed in the colony with ill-disgulsed
satisfaction. 1t Is evident that this unlucky
General and Sir Bartle Frere are two OF the
most detested men In Africa.
Twelve graduates OF the American or Rob-
ert College, near COnstantinOple, are, accord
ing to correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press, members of the new Bulgarian AS
sembly. The twelve are said to be the best
educated Of the delegates, and to be well
versed in the history OF American institu-
tions, 1t will be interesting to observe the
influence these men will exercise In framing
a constitution for the new State of Bulgaria.
Nepotism, or favoritism, or familyism In
the public offices OF Russia is often mani
tested to strange degree and In peculiar
ways. A whole province or district Is often
In the hands OF a few families. Thus 1t has
just been shown that In the Usman district
all the offices are in the hands of four persons
belonging to two families, viz: II. Blank has
seven offices, B. Blank seven offices, j. An
druff six offices, N. Andruff eight offices.
In the hippodrome of Czarskoe Selo, Russia,
there was recently "hunt of wild beasts. ;"
A number of wolves, foxes and hares were let
loose in the arena with dogs in pursuit. One
OF the wolves became furious and dashed
from the arena among the spectators. Both
the people and the animals were thrown into
panic. After tearing around for time
without injufing anybody, the wolf took
refuge under the benches, from which he was
dragged out and secured.
The damage done to the crops by mice in
the canton of Zurich, Switzerland, is con-
siderable In some communities twenty-five
thousand, and even in one instance sixty-slx
thousand Of these vermin were caught last
year. report on the subject says that birds
of prey, such as buZzards, owls, etc, have
not received the attention they deserve, as
they help to rid the country of the mice. The
same report further recommends farmers to
protect cats, foxes and hedge-hogs.
There is in the Island of Cyprus journal

Bismarck, while great dipomatist and
statesman In dealing with foreign countries.
IL generally regarded as poor financier. His
latest scheme for restoring prosperity to Ger
many is protective tariff. and such tariff
he is now endeavoring to force on the German
people Bismarcks tariff far exceeds even the
bill passed by the Radicals during their con-
troll of Congress. His original idea was to tax
every imported article. The committee, how
ever which framed the bill declined to 90 this
far and did actually leave few, very few,
things untaxed. Corn, bread, petroleum, pro-
visions. all the necessities OF daily life have
now TO pay heavy duty On being imported
into Germany. It is to be seen whether
poor country like Germany, where the people
can at present barely make living, will be
benefited by this system of heavy taxation.

The New York holders of Tennessee bonds
have reconsidered their former refusal OF the
compromise offered by the Legislature OF
Tennessee Of new bonds at fifty cents on the
dollar for the old ones. The original act
passed by the Tennessee Legislature funded
these bonds at 40 per cent while the bond
holders claimed 60 per cent. This act was
reconsidered by the Legislature and 80 per
cent allowed. The bondholders, however, re-
NAMED obstinate and refused to surrender.
An explanation OF the resources of Tennessee
just made before them by delegation from
that State, seems to have changed their
views, and they now agree to the proposed
terms. The matter has to be submitted to
the popular vote for Endorsement, and II is BY
no means sure that the people will agree TO
even those terms offered by the Legislature.

THE "GAzETTE' says it knew two
weeks before the election that the Dem
ocratic majority would be from 300 tt
500 majority. Well that.is just what
we expected it knew, for it was evident
before that time that the Republicans
would carry the city on fair and
honest vote and none knew this better
than the leaders of the Democracy
Then it was that the fraud plan was
agreed upon. About that time or a
little before, it was determined thai
the Republicans should not triumph
any how, and then it was no doubt that
it was determined to employ these
gangs If repeaters, at dollar vote, to
bea. the republicans whether or no
1t looks very much by. ..the "Gazettes'
own admissions as if it had been mott
fed of the victory that was in store for
the Democracy and hence it's confdent
prediction that the Democracy would
triumph by the majorities stated.
Daily Republican., 1879-10-09

WE ARE extremely grateful to the
Gazette" for copying so copiously from
our editorial of Wednesday last in re,
lation to our exposure of the plot il
which the leaders OF the Democracy
supported by the "Gazette" are ell
gagged to make Wilmington a Demc.
cratic city, by means of the most shame
less frauds that ever disgraced our his,
tory since Wilmington was city, and
the extracts published contain just the
points which we wish to reach the few
people who had not already read them
in the REPUBLICAN,. The Gazette
may denominate our remarks in glar-
ing head lines or in any other way it
sees proper as "scandalous vituperation
and abuse" yetafter all what We have
said is but the truth, and none know
better that it is true than the lead
ers Of the Democracy themselves. 1t is
useless for us to handy words and
waste time in answering in detail ev-
cry little weak puny thing put forth 81
argument by the Gazette" for by this
time it is we'll SET tied that it's whole
purpose is to shield the guilty parties
who concocted the fraud programme
which was 50 faithfully carried out at
the last city election.
Daily Republican., 1879-10-09

THE Gazette" wants to know what
the REPUBLICAN has to say about the
three Republican members of the City
Council that voted for Mr.. Lee for Su.
perintendent of the City Hospital. In
reply we would state that we have
nothing to say about it, but we will
treat them the same as we did Messrs.
Paynter and Hart when they voted
against Mr.. Lynch for Street Commits
sioper. We reckon that as the RepuE-
licans had no candidate of their own for
Hospital Superintendent, they voted for
whom they pleased as they had a per.
feet right to do, and as Mr.. Lee was
the choice Of the Democracy for that
Office we suppose that the three Repub-
licans referred to thought they might
as well give him little boost into his
position while they had nothing else to
do,

each in the west election district of the
Fifth ward, just gave Mr.. Carmichael,
his six majority in the ward and made
Mr.. Allen tie with Mr.. Gawthrop,
that City Council afterwards elected
him, these gentlemen will of course
hold their seats in Council with the full
knowledge that each of them voted
twice. II this were not enough to
prove the illegality Of their election,
they could easily ascertain if they
wanted that "Butcher" Ryan, John
Breiley. John Carr, J. r. Vandegrift,
J. W. Welch, Charles Brannon, Harry

voted for them in the same district
which insured their election beyond
any possible Offset of alleged Republi-
