Correspondence VI the REPUBLICAN.
| REHoBoTH. DEL, July II.
The steamer "John Sylvester" tba
commenced running this season l+
tween Philadelphia and Lewep, mad.
her last trip down the bay on Wednes
day, in consequence of the following
proposition which was handed to Capt
Post BY the General Agent of the juno
ton q Breakwater Railroad:
MEMORANDUM OF ARRANGEMENTS
or steamer "John Sylvester" Captain
John A. Post, manager, to land and re-
celve passengers at pier of J. & B. R.
R., at Lewes
lst. J. Il B. X. R. Co. collect local
fares on all passengers to and from the
pier.
I'd. Steamer not to carry freight
either way.
Sd. Steamer to pay to the J. & B.
R. R. 10 cents per head on all passea.
gers landed on pier to whom tickets to
80 on the railroad were not sold on the
steamer, and 10 cents per head for each
passenger received at the pier.
4th. The business to be- managed as
far as possible in way to effect ipjuri
ously the business of the road as little
as possible, and to open passenger
line between Philadelphia and Chester
and Lewss only.
9th. The J. & B. R. R. Co. to give
the steamer all proper facilities.
Left July 18th, '79, with Capt. John
A. Post by A. Brown.
Capt. Post would not submit to such
conditions, and the people are to bs de-
prived OF delightful ride by water to
Lewes. Captain Post says he will put
the "Sylvester'' on the route between
Coney Island and New York, which is
a paying route, and that is saying more
than can be said of the route between
Philadelphia and Lswes. The "Syl.
vester" made the run down to day in
five hours and half, and left a score
of disappointed Wilmingtonians at Re-
hoboth who were anticipating a de-
lightful ride on the water on their re.
turn trip. But this world is full of care
and sorrow. After landing you at the
pier the railroad company charge you
35 cents to take you to the edge of the
Rehoboth grounds, and then the hack
man next charges you Is cents to haul
you half a mile, but then you are at
The sea shore.
The fare from Rehoboth to Whining
on by rail is 1915 or round trip 81. 50.

In the First DeErse-ro bs Huns
August -.
| Chastins Cox, the murderer Of Mrs
Jane DeForrest Hull, was convicted O
Murder in the first degree, at New York
last evening, and Immediately sen
fenced by Judge Cowing to be hanged
on August 20. The case was given u
the jury at s. is P. M, and at exactly
6.25, they returned having been out
one hour and seven minutes.
Cox remained as passive as ever
while the jurymrn with serious faces
took their seats. II he read their ver-
dict in their eyes he showed no indica
tion that the knowledge of 1t disturbed
him.
"Gentlemsn Of the jury" asked the
Clerk ofthe Court, shave you agreed
upon verdict"
"We have" replied Andrew G. My.
ers, the foreman, without rising from
his seat.
"Prsoner," said the Clerk, "rise
and look upon the Jury. Jury look
upon the prisoner" Cox rose firmly,
and looked steadily and withouta q trs.
NOR at the jurymen. His lips seemed
compressed. "How find you," contin-
ued the Clerk, t'guilty or not guilty."
"Guilty ofmurd-r in the first degree, :"
replied Mr.. Myers, and a subdued hun
was heard in the court. room--a sound
that the officers soon checked. The
names Of the jurymen were then called,
aid each one said that his verdict wa,
the same. Cox followed the jurymen
with his eyes as they answered the
clerk, and mingled feeling Of deter
mination and resignation seemed to
show itself in his face. Its stolid ap
pearance, however, was remarkable.
As he stood facing the jury he held his
hands folded bahind him.
"Chastine Cox" said the Clerk,
"what have you to say why sentence
Of death should not be passed upon
you."
Nothing" replied Cox, half audi
bly,.
"Chastins Cox" said Judge Cowing
with much earnestness and feeling,
"fain would | believe that in your
heart there is none of the levity that
you have shown while on this trial,
and that your conduct and demeanor
have been no true index of your feel
ings. You have had a fair trial by
jury OF your own choice, ana having
been found guilty by them you have
been sentenced to an ignominious
death. As look back over the trial
| am conscious OF no error that has
been committed. The trial has been
fair an d impartial.
All the safeguards Of the law were
thrown around you, and yet you were
found guilty. Let me urge you to stake
no hopes on the expectations of pardon
but to spend the tims between now and
the day on which You will be hung in
preparing for the great change that you
must undergo. Yours was a horrible
crime-a burglary that was grand lar.
ceny, and in the Preparation of which |
you disregarded the life of your poor
victim, who pleaded with you, but in
vain.
"Ths sentence of the Court is that
you be conveyed to the prison whence
you were taken, and that you be there
confined until the 10Th day of August
when, between the hours of 8 a, IN,
and 4p. m, you be taken to the prison
yard and there hanged by the neck un-
til you are dead. And may Godthave
mercy on your soul and grant to you
in the next world the mercy that has
not been granted tO you in this.n

NEW YORK PRESS.
THE sun SHINES FOR EWING,
And the Herald Who0ps Up Hayes.

National Associated Press 10 the Star.
New YORK, June 9.-The Sun comes out
to-day in favor of Ewing for Governor of
Ohio, saying the Republicans themselves
have made the issue by asserting the right
TO station armed troops at the polls. On
this issue Gen. Ewingi is sound, and conse-
quently he deserves the support of every
man who wishes to preserve the freedom
and independence OF the ballot-box. The
Sun says: "What is Congress for? If the
question of granting or Withholding sup
plies be not one for its discretion, what
power has it? If appropriations are mere
matter of course to be made without re-
gard to the will of the people or of their
representatives, and the whole duty OF Con-
gress is but to register Executive DEGREES,
why not dispense with it altogether?'
The Herald is stronger tlian ever to-day
against "Cesarism," saying: Attempt to
transform the Republican party into a
Grant party, to make it the tool Of a man
instead of the servant of the people, will
not do. The leaders of the Grant move
ment care nothing for the Republican par
ty except as that promises to be helpful to
their designs. The denomination Of Grant
would be fatal blunder for the Republi-
cans. The people do not favor military
rulers or military methods in civil Govern
1nents. They tolerated military spirit af-
ter the close of the rebellion because the
country was still in turmoil and the future
uncertain. The purely civilian admins
tration of HAYES, though besct with
unusual difficulties because OF his party s
rejection OF his policy, has not only had a
quieting and happy effect upon the coun-
try, but it has strengthened the Republi-
can party and has given it promise of new
lease of power The denomination of Grant
would be declaration to the country that
the Republican leaders insist on military
methods in the administration, and that in
opposing Democratic efforts to repeat GER
tain statutes unknown to our system be-
fore the war they are but pursuing policy
the aim of which is the continuous subor-
dination of the civil to the military spirit
in our government"
