the Latest Police Outrage.

So long 40 only the Republican OF al
the Wilmington papers had<the indie
pendsnoe to speak ont boldly in dsnun-
ciation Of outrases by the police, and
the dispicably low character Of some
ofthem, We were denounced as carping,
malicious and fault-6nding, and there
was no more than the mere remark !:
oh its only the REPUBLICAN, 1t was no.
ticeable, however, that the structures Of
that paper hurt sever .ly and were more
feared than all the other dsiles in the
city. We naturally expected that the
time would soon come when some OF the
police, pampered and encouraged in
their outrages upon citizens, would BE-
guilty of some act that would bring
them into more notoriety than they
had bargained for. This time has at
last come. The same officer that feeced
Chester county farmer unlawfully
out of $40, has now been guilty Of
another outrage which has brought him
into notoriety through the Philadel-
phia papers. These papers give the
full account of the beating and kicking
of Charles Green and his wife at the P.
W. & B. depot yesterday morning, from
the effects of which Green is now in a
hospital in Philadelphia and in danger
of dying from his wounds. This out
rage, though more painful. is not great
Or th.n that by which they were forced
of to Philadelphia without a r-quisi
tion from the Governor Of Pennsylvania
being made upon the Governor VI Della
ware for the rendition of Charles Green
and wife to the Pennsylvania authori
ties, to answer the charges, what
ever they were, laid against them
1t dees not appear that this requisi-
ton was made. nor does it appear that
the Governor of Pennsyl,ania was ever
notified OF the arrest, therefore the mo-
ment that these two officers laid their
hands upon the prisoners to hand cuff |
them and take them up to Philadelphia
without the prouer forms, they were
proceeding contrary TO law, and Green
had perfect right to resist every step
Of the wy. The whole affair is an
unmitigated outrage, and should Green
die from the brutal treatment he has
received, some Of our Wilmington po-
lice will he placed in not very envious
position.

Th- p eachers nm d the Press.


The preachers Of the Wilmington
District of the Wilmington NJ. r. Con-
ference, meeting at Mt. Salem NJ. Z.
Church yesterday, constituted them
selves into committee OF the whole to
censurs the press for reporting things
that do not fall with favor upon the
ears of the public. The gist of the re-
marks were that the reporters we're the
cause of most Of the church troubles
in Wilmington. These Reverend gen.
tlemen think the press a very good in
stitution and the reporters pretty good
fellows, if nothing but the bright side
of everything is published. What
business has an unregenerated reporter
to dare publish anything but the hal.
lelujahs and amens as they escape
warm from sanctiied tongues? He of
course ought to. know better, think
these censors of the press. He must
close his eyes and stop his ears so that
he can neither see nor hear, Brother
Houston when he gets excited filings his
cane over his head, ,rapping it on the floor
and loudly denounces his imaginary
opponent. None of this must be repor-
ted; neither must any little an pleasant-
ness be alluded TO, All this must be
scum,ned over, or il reporter attempts
to report both sides of a controversy
impartially ani fairly he must sub
init to be Denounced as untruthful, ma
liciou. and bias,d. If an eloquent ser
mon is preached he can 90 his whole
length on that, even if it should fill six
or seven columns of his paper to the
exclusion Of all other news, but h.
must not attempt to throw in an idea OF
his own without the risk of being bitter
ly denounced. We would tell these
clerical censors of the press that the
want of unity and christian charity in
Wilmington is not the fault of the re
porters, so much as it is the want of
christian charity on the part of the
preachers and more of Christ's humili-
ty in the heart. Let the preachers do
their part as they should and the re-
porters will not fail to give them the
credit due them.

A NOTE.
Fuel EcOnOny.

In these days of search after cheaI
fuel has it ever occurred to the econo-
mist that there are solid substances
abont any we'll regulated household
that are daily left to go into decompo-
sition and decay that might be used for
fuel In conversation with gentle
man the other day we found that he
had struck upon fuel saving economy
that perhaps but few have aver thought
Of, and indeed his plan though novel,
was suggestive Of household economy.
His plan was simply this burn up
every thing Of a solid nature usually
thrown into the swill barrel or left to
tester and become an unmitigated nui.
sance in the corners Of yards and al.
leys. By actual experiment he has
found that potato, apple and peach
paring' will readily not only burn
if thrown upon moderately hot coal
fire, but in burning they add consider.
ably to the volume Of heat required,
and to that extent are saving of coal
and wood. In like manner pieces or
crumbs OF bread, coffee or tea grounds,
pieces Of n. sat, bones, and indeed every
thing not positively liquid can be
utilized and made to conduce to the
economy Of housekeeping. It is true
that large quantities Of such substances
would smother the fire, but our inform.
ant who has actual experimental expe-
rience on the subject, says, that care
must be taken not to put too much on
the fire at once. In this manner he
has managsi to burn all the refuse in
his housekeeping arrangements, and
nothing was LEFT 10 throw out but the
thin dishwater and fluids that readily
ran away into sewer Or sink. Another
great advantage gained by this plan of
getting clear Of garbage, is that it does
away with the use Of the garbage cart
to very great degree, and at the same
time the temper Of housewives are not
so severely tried when that important
functionary, the garbage cartman, fails
to put in an appearance An objection
may be raise that the burning of such
offal would create noisome smell
through the house, as is O. en- expert
enced when old shoes o: pieces of leath-
or are consumed in a stove fire. No
doub. this would be serious objec.io n
if it uld not be avoided, but happily
it can There restove5 in which all
the old shoes in large family can be
consumed which emit DO foul odors, and
of course these are the kind of stoves
to have il use, and even if they should
cost little more at first the differenc.
in cost will soon be made up in the
amount of fuel saved. II must not be
supposed that household garbage would
answer exclusively for fuel, nor would
it do so we'll with wood as with a coal
fire, but it cannot bs doubted that with
the latter, these important essentials
srs gaiasi, heat is incre .ssl, fu,l sa-
we'd, and testerius nnislnc9s avoided
when the garbage man nsglects his du-
ty. As the experiment costs nothing
and as the season is upon US when there
is superabundance Of cabbage leaves,
and parIngs of d tterent kinds about
the house, let it be tried, but tried in
a judicious manner.

York, In 1856, and obtained from the Seward
men fund to enable him to defeat Fillmore.
Having. dread Of Investigations, he placed
$4,000 in an Albany bank to the credit of his
partner, to be drawn out as it might be need
ed. A few days afterwards the partner
dropped dead In the street and the bank paid
over the money, with the other sums deposit
