Some sensation and no little ami

Some sensation and no little amuse
ment were caused a. the British House
of Commons recently by the discovery
that some wag had posted up in on
of the principal corridors clever draw
ing of Lord Beaconsfield as domestic
cat with nine tails. The likeness wa
excellent, and the nine tails were sup
posed to represent war, slavery, bauk'
ruptcy, imperialism, and other evils
which have been associated with the pol
icy of the present Government.

You have just got your rarty-the

of the city government, and added to

the water; the lighting Of the city the
highway, and the schools. Now these
are facts which you may all remember
If you will exercise your minds little.
But more than that you have the Demo-
cratic party pledged TO further reduc-
/ tions-you have lbs official members
minds trained in that direction, and
they feel that their fellow citizens are
looking to them to prove that their
great party Is not mere machine to
elevate them to Office for no other pur-
pose than to cloths them with power to
waste and scatter the resources Of q
provident and prudent constituency.
The difference between the two par
ties is so manifest that we have only to
call attention to the fact. The Republi-
cans were In power about fif cen years
and they got worse and worse were put
out and then although the Democrats cur
tailed the vast extravasance, for the want
OF experience In their Councilmen, the
Republicans got back into power but
they were still worse, and left the city
government last September with an inn
mense floating debt aud without .
dollar in the treasury although over
500, 900 were paid into it in July, and
large sums in August also. ...'-
The Democrats took hold Of the gov
ernment without dollar in the treasury
they have paid off all the floating debts
and have in the treasury on the firs

deem it necessary, for notwithstanding
all the efforts Of the enemies of tn
Democratic party, combined with the so
called no-party men, it has only beel
shown the more fully that the Demo

and also reduced the taxes. And no,
it is necessary for the public good tina
they should be continued in power +

The Bloody Shirt Of 'Yazoo" which
the Republican has been waving to de-
lude the ign ,rant voters whom delights
to amllse with its funny electiOneering
stories, does not seem to have much in
fuence in Wilmington. 1t might as
well rcvamp the Eliza Pnkston fraud.
The political foes of the Democrats care
very little about a mob fight between
two wings Of the Democrats in Yazoo
county, Mississippi. But they do feel a
sympathy for the poor men in Rhode
Island who are not allowed to vote be-
cause they do not own property. II
those voters were only all negroes what
= row there would be; or, if Rhode
Island was a Democratic State how long
would it be before a call would be made
for few regiments of soldiers to wipe
ont such tyranny? Let the Republican
answer.

IF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY is moi
the friend of the people it ought to be
broken up, and its unity destroyed; il
any Of its members believe it is deroga
tory TO the public interests and is in
weighing them to follow course that is |
detrimental to the economy and welfare |
of the citizens they ought to abandon it |
and 20 to its enemies. In no other way
can they maintain that consistency
which good citizens i.ht TO point to
in the walks of life whether in politics
or religion. Ii is folly to trifle with the
great settled modes of government. The
experience of ages drawn as well from
tradition as from history prove that men
must combine where civilized govern
ment is required and desired to be per-
petuated and the more enlightened, the
more necessity it seems there is for par
tisan action. This is not only the case
in republican governments, bui ii is also
a necessity in the monarchial form.
we have read some of the utterances of
Democratic office-holders upon the pro-
position to destroy the Democratic party
in Wilmington to accommodate the
"no-party" blatherskites who seek its
disruption all over the State and through
the nation as well. These gentlemen
did not talk thus lightly Of the unity of
the party in Wilmington when they saw
in its concentrated ranks that the fruits Of
its success might be centered their
pockets. The same no-party advocates
are presenting nothing new now-they
having been denounc,ng the work of the
party for years. They would break
down both parties with the idea thai
they might raise more conspicuouslJ ou
of the chaos that followed, and fill thei
pockets through the organization of an
other party more corrupt than either o
the present ones. No man of sense ant
experience believes that good govern
ment can exist without leading men t.
direct, or that any direction can b
successful without combination.
These attacks upon its unity, AM
efforts to destroy the Democratic part
have not been confined to Wilmington
they had their inception years ago an
have been followed consistently an
in Washington when two or three
the Democrats we're found abandonin
the course of the party, the whole boo
of the Republicans united their vot
with these two or three to defeat Il
Democrats, thus hoping to make mi
chief in our ranks and create breat
that could not be closed. The abando
msnt Of the unity of the party was thu
lauded by its enemies and so has t
abandonment of the unity of the par
been lauded here in Wilmington.
This effort is the most direct mode
destroy the party in the city, the cour
and the State and it is our duty a
good citizen and Democrat to raise c
warning voice against tit is no Il
our duty as a patriot, if we may dare
use that much neglected word. But
are talking to men who we believe |
influenced in their actions by patrio
motives, and vote as they do with t
Democratic party in order that good a
economical government may be secul
and preserved as it has been from g
Grafton to generation.

AFTER the most conclusive evidence of
Gen. Fitz John Porter's innocence, and his
acquittal by an impartially constituted
court, which made a thorough investiga-
ton of his case, the Times has the men
dacity to say that in the opinion of thou
sands of intelligent men he ought to have
been shot. We do not envy the journal
which can treasure such hatred against
gallant soldier simply because the tar
dy righting of the wrong done him more
than fifteen years ago involes an i'm
parchment of the motive of his persecn-
tors. Such an excess of partisan raneor
is disgraceful to the paper that is guilty
of it.-N. Y. Star.

The Capture Of CetywayO.

LONDON, September ia dispatcl
to the ''1imes" from Caps Town says
Sir Garnet Wolsely hopes that Chic
Secocoeni will yield without fighting
but those on the spot say that this Il
doubtful, as 1t has transpired that th'
chief has lately only with difficulty
been dissuaded, after q five hours
council, from numbering two officers
who had been sent to treat with hin
concerning prisoners.
The details Of the capture of King
Cetywayo show that while the King
was being watched on the one side by
Lord Clifford and some scouts, Major
Morter, with detachment of the First
Dragons, approached him from the
other. Lord Clifford, whose presence
was unknown to the King, intended to
defer the attack until nightfall, SO
as to prevent the King from
escaping into the dense bush.
Cstywayo had caught glimpse Of the
dragons, but he thought that in conse-
quence of the bad condition of the
ground, they could not approach quiet
ly. Major Morter, however, directed
the removal Of all noisy accoutrements
and sent a native contingent on ahead.
These surrounded the Kraal where the
King had taken refuge, and Major Nor
ter then rode up and called to Getty
wayo to come out Of the hut. The
King after some parley, complied. He
preserved dignifed demeanor and
asked to be shot.

A Negro woman Banker.

One Of the colored characters of the city,
Fanny Kennedy, or "Old Aunt Fanny" "
as she was generally know, was buried
in the Eastern Cemetery yesterday.
Fanny had a great power over large
portion Of the colored population of this
city, and at one time she was known as
the "Queen Of the Negroes" For years
acting as banker for hundreds of them.
she was saving and industrious herself,
and succeeded in amassing quite sAug
amount Of property. Whenever any of
the negroes over whom Aunt Fanny ex-
.erted her influence get into trouble, she
was sent for. If advice was not sufficient,
she would always give more solid aid.
She never failed to go on the bonds of
her subjects, if bonds we're required, and
her name as surety appears as often as
any other on the records of the courts.
1t used to be the remark about the City
Court, when Aunt Fanny became bound
for any ones appearance, "You may be-
sure that he will be on hand, and Old
Aunt Fanny will be with him." For
several years she had been in bad
health, and lost considerable part of
what she had saved. Aunt Fanny was
born in Garrard County in the Spring
of 17S7, and was in her 80 third year
at the time of her death. She was the
slave of Col. Crunshsw, butpurcha asing
her freedom and that of her Children in
1879, she removed to this city.-Ex.

We have Just been informed by Mr..
]. II. Primrose, now the popular and
efficient agent Of the popular Wheeler
and Wilson Sewing Machine, who has
Just returned from several days trip
in Connecticut on visit TO the Mammoth
factory of the W. & H. Sewing Machine
company, that he has negotiated with
the company to have the Wilmington
office, 72s Market street, which he now
represents, worked direct from the
Home office in Bridgeport, Connecticut,
and not from Philadelphia as hereto
fore. We are informed that this gives
MIR. Primrose greater facilities for carry
ing on larger business, and enables
him to offer great inducements to agents
and better terms to custom. rs. We are
informed that the Wheeler X Wilson
has taken the lead on the Peninsula as
well as elsewhere, and the company has
displayed much real good common sense
when it secured such man as Mr..
Primrose to manage their business for
them. With the reputation the com
pany has always maintained for max
ing the best Sewing Machine in the
market, and a manager 80 proficient
and possessed of such rare business
qualifications as Mr.. p. possesses, sue
cess must follow. Mr.. Primrose was
few years back one Of Kent County's
leading merchants at Smyrna, and yet
holds warm place in the hearts Of her
citizens. He has also during his eight
years residence in our own city built
up for himself reputation as one Of
our very few successful Sewing Machine
men as well as one of the most social
and jolly good fellows in our city. With
Mr.. Primrose at the head of this COM
pany and Office directly under tho
Home Office, We may look for lively
times in the Sewing Machine trade. He
gives a glowing history Of his trip 70
The Nutmeg State and speaks in the
highest terms Of praise of the company
and says he is sorry he did not associate
himself with them before. We wish
