recorded that not Democratic ncwsQa-

In REFERENCE to the trial OF 'us
o'Donpell for illegal voting a. 'he
recent city election, it is but due to Mr.
H. G. Turner tosay that he disolaims
having had anything todo with putting
Mr.. Wright off the jury that convict
"a o'Donnell simply because he was a
Republican. He says that he did not
know that Mr.. Wright was Repuol'-
can. but that he was reje ted at MI.
o'Donnslrs desire, he otjecting as he
had right to do, to that gentleman be-
ing on q jury to try himself. While
referring to this jury We might as we'll
state that it now appears that Henry
Whiteman who was also upon tha'
Jury was Republican though 1t was
not known At the time by Mr.. Augustus
O,Donnell. Fit had been known, the
lightning would have struck III
two places instead OF one.
We would also say that 'ht
Jury that was empan nsllsi to try Zsig
Ter for Illegal voting, had two or three
Republicans upon it, also that at least
two Democrats upon it but were upon
o'Donusll's jury;wsrs rejected and 9th
ers put in their places. As there are
not probably more than half a dozen
Republican Jurors in the panel, the
proportion Of three in a jury OF twelve
was very liberal and fair, but it must
appear strange even to Democrats that
with the impartiality that is claimed to
have been exercised by the Levy Court
in the selection of Jurors that only
about half a dozen, perhaps eight,
should have been summoned, and 1t
must look little stranger still that af-
ter having Used the utmost discrimina-
tioa in the selection of six jnrymen
from Wilmington that tue choice fell
upon six Democrats. We have no Oh
lection to any of the gentlemen who
have been summoned as jurors from
Wilmington. We believe them all to
b upright, honest, honorable men, but
this does not diyest the question of its
partisan aspect, and therefore it is moi
strange that a jury panel stands abou'
four d, IN ,crsts to one Republican, that
the juries called shonli be little one
sided in political point of view.

A Reliable Paper.

Now that public feeling is being ex'
oits in relation to the political con-
test il behooves not only every Rspub-
lican, bat every citizen who has al
heart tie country's common good to
provide himself with a reliable paper;
one that has a national reputation, one
in whoge very columns id mirrofed all
that pertains to the entire country,
politically as well as socially, and
whose simple word is as expressive as
truth itself. TO be so suited We would
refer our readers to the New York
"rimes," live wids awake and emi
ne 1tly reliable exponent OF the living
princi pies OF Republicanism. The in.
tsrests Of the country are made lis
interest, and through the past when
those interests have been ilperiliel it
has stood in the breach fearless and
nnwayering. The result of this policy
is now apparent in this: 1t takes the
front rank in political as we'll as gen
eral journalism. Its opinions are
read and being the expressed senti-
mept of the nation, are given that
weighty consideration which their
meaning and interest entitle them to.
Its reliability is beyond question. Hav
ing the essentials requisite as public
education we unhesitatingly recommed
it and in doing so enjoin upon our
people, not through any obligatory
motiva on our part, but for the imme-
diate and general good of Republican
ism, to take it into their families.
As an evidence Of its reliability we
have but to refer to the compagn OF
1875 when Immediately following the
election it announced Ruthtriorl B.
HAYES President by an electoral vote Of
1876. While the Republican papers Of
other cities gaze the result over to the
Democrats, it maintained its position.
As every one is aware this position was
subsequently confirmed by an official
announcement from the commission
As in this 80 it was in the late New
York election. While others we're in
doubt, "The Times' came forth with
the--to the misunderstanding an.
nouncemeat that the Republican State
ticket was elected with the exception
of Lieutenant Governor. As usual il
was right As mouldAr Of pure Re
publican sentiment we chesrfully re-
commend it 10 our people.

An Msness Virginia Dsnserss.
Il does seem that there 's really an
housst conscientious Democrat down In
the Norfolk Sen atorial District Of Vir-
ginia, aud that such . man may Do
known by everybody his name should
be published in letters Of gold. Mr.
John G. Griffin at the late election was
the Democratic candidate for the Senate
| of Virginia from the Norfolk District,
which is one of the few districts In
the State which has not been quill
dozed out Of It's Republican representa-
tion. Mr.. Griffin however is an honest
man ard his actions as an honest man
have sstonished the Democrats, for this
is something in elections to which they
have not been accustomed Of late years,
and Mr.. Grifin's action comes upon
them like clap Of thunder from a
clear sky. The circumstances OF the
case are these: Mr.. Griffn's Repub-
lican competitor was Jonathan K. Boush'
who was voted for as Jonathan b., as
Jonathan, as Jonathan b., and as J. X.
Boush. The county canvassers threw
out all these votes which were in any
respect irregular, and thus left Mr..
Griffin in an apparent majority. There
upon Mr.. Griffin writes and prints a
letter stating tha: in his judgment the
errors of initials which were made by
the clerks or judges Of election on the
poll books were merely clerical, and he
does not consider himself elected. Ht
therefore asks his attorney to take pro
per steps to secure the seating OF the
person who received the majority o! th'
votes.
The "Gazette" in a virtuous spasu
gives vsnt to its feelings and says:
"rhis case deserves to be remembered
for the contrast it affords to the un'
scrupulous Republican frauds that
haye disgraced elections in this coun-
try during the past few years. Now
this is encouraging, and the fact the
"Gazstte" praises an honest Democrat
for refusing to accept an Office to which
h. was not elected, increases our respect
for it, but while it thus praises Mr.
Griffin for the course he has pursued
does it think OF the reflection it casts
upon Messrs. Carmichael and Allen ot
this city who hold seats in the City
Council to which they were never elect

men AIMED in this city must belong tc

Our Country.

The failure of the crops i'll Europe has
called attention to the productive
power Of our country, to supply the de-
mand for bread stuG5 in the eastern
section Of the world. The yield in The
several States appears to have been very
abundant the past season, and immense
quantities Of grain are now being ship
ped to the leaiiny cities OF Great Bri
tain and France. 1t has he"n estimate 4
that ia all Europe, including Russia
there are about 40, 900, 900 acres O!
land in wheat, while in the Unitea
States there are 80 600, 900. Beside
the opportunity tc7 eztension cannot be
readily computed. The territories
which are but sDarsely populated con
tain ovsr 600 ,000,O 900 acres ofsoil which
do not require the application OF expen'
sive fertilizers to produce luxurian'
crops. In Montana alone there are
100000 acres of aratie land. Tie
territory is SIX tilLos as large rs all the
New England States, and three times as
large as New York State. With such
fertility and bouudless expanse of acres
it il not surprising that our country
should grow rapidly in wealth and pop

be turned toward it. There is certain
ly a grand prospect before us, and il
