EVERY ONE that knows any thing
about Pennsylvania politics knows old
Uncle Jake Zeigler, an honest and sin
cere Democrat if ever there was one.
Uncle Jake had served several terms as
clerk of the Senate at Harrisburg un-
der the Democratic rule, bu! the Re-
publicans being in possession of the leg
islature in that State, he thought he
would try for the Office of Sergeant at
Arms of the Senate at Washington, as
the Democrats had Just got possession
OF that branch OF the government. Mr..
Zeigler did try but that was all honest
men like him w.re not wanted in that
Office by the Democrats. Richard J..
Bright, the man that was elected and
who had been indicted and tried for
perjury and theft while he was State
printer of Indiana, and who owed his
seape from the penitentlary to some tech
nicality in the law, suited the ConfeG
crate Democratic Senate much better.
After leaving Washington Mr.. Zeigler
was interviewed when h. made the
following remarks:
"l've seen great deal of men and
mankind in my day, and dogs, too; but
since I've been here in Washington,
trying to be elected Sergeant-at-Arms
OF this Confederate Senate, I've seen
more of men than | ever did before;
and the mere see Of Il EN- the better
opinion have Of dogs"
The Gazette, Of this city gets its back
up at us when we intimate that the Con-
gress in Session at Washington is "a
Rebel Congress, but we find We agree
perfectly with honest Jake Feigler.

An HOneSt Nan Wanted.

Official morality seems to he at very
low ebb in Brown county, Wisconsin.
They have adopted several expedients
to secure an honest treasurer, but with
very poor success so far. The county
is Republican, and elected a Republi-
can Treasurer, who did not stand as
fairly before tho people as such an off.
cial should. The result was that in a
short time the people of Brown county
were poorer by $50, 600 than they were
before the late Treasurer assumed Of.
fce. The circumstance created a change
OF opinion, and his successor was a
thorough tred Democrat. But things
did not grow better fast. The new in
cumbent got away with $50, 900, doing
lust one hundred per cent. better than
his Republican predecessor. Now
thoroughly arou'ed, the good men OF
both parties united, aud after canvass
ing the matter, agreed upon a compro-
mise man, who was warranted to be- the
right thing, and whose honesty no man
doubted. Through their united votes
they elected the man of their choice,
and now an investig cation shows that he
is already short in his accounts some
So 900. An honest man is also wanted
for Clerk of the Peace in Sussex coun
ty, Delaware, and honest officials are
wanted in the Levy Courts Of Kent and

A Rebel Congress.

Al the "Gazstts" has taken offence
q rs for denouncing the present Con-
gress - "A Rebel Congress" and has
advised the public to discontinue TAX
ing the REPUBLICAN on that account, it
will perhaps find a little comfort in
reading the following editorial clipped
from tho Chicago "Timss," leading
Democratic paper:
"B0th branches OF the Congress Of
tn. Confederate States have now been
r.inov-d from Richmond to Washing
ton. Nearly all the officers OF the Con-
fudsrate States Government arc mem
hers Of one House or the other. The
heshless skeleton OF Vice President

tenant Of the old Bourbon graveyard,
IL the most notable object in the Repre-,
ssntatives' chamber. Postmaster Cen
eral Reagan and one or two other mem
sbers Of the Richmond Cabinet are load
ing members Of the right in the same
chamber. Seventy or eighty other
members of the right were members Of
the Congress at Richmond or brigadier
generals Of the Confederate Army. The
Congress of the Confederate States has
been removed to Washington, and
nearly all the commanders VI the Con-
fedsrato armies have come to Washing
ton as nbers thereof. Jefferson Davis
is the only conspicuous member Of the
Richmond Government who has not
moved to Washington as member of
the Southern Congress. But the Con
federates Of Mississippi are talking OF
sending him 10 the Senate in place OF
Bruce, when his term expires. Unless
Providence should interfere, there is
not the least reason to doubt that the
President OF the Confederate States will
also remove 10 Washington and resume
the robe of public Office as Confeder'
ate Senator"
The Chicago "Tines" man must have
been reading the editorials of the RE

emanats which ara as offensive to the
smell as they are deleterious to the

are the places that should be cleaned,

street commissioner or the Board Of

more dilotary, and without these little
attentions from the proper authorities,
will neglect the cleaning process so
necessary to health and comfort. There
is much in the situation Of Wilmington
favorable to a good sanitary condition.
The gradual descent Of It's streets from
the hill to the river, gives it decided
advantages for quick drainage in case
of raias. Az rule the cutters are in
a pretty good condition, which of course
greatly facilitates the cleaning process.
But it is the filth in the back-yards, in
the cellars, in the gardens, and other
places where all sorts of trash is de-
posted during the entire winter months
that needs removing. Lst the good
work be commenced speedily.

Yesterday We received . dispatch
from Dover announcing that rumors
we're rife In that town that w. Fisk
Townsend, Clerk Of the Peace for sus
sex county, had not only sbscondsd but
that he WAS defSul.er to the amount
Of >4,0oo. OF the discrepancy in the
accounts Of Mr.. Townsend there can bs
no denial, indeed in = personal inter
view with Us this morning he admitted
that much, but he claimed that he hsd
not absconded and he would return 10
Georgetown to-day. He also stated that
he had real estate enough left to cover
all discrepancies in his accounts. The
letter OF our Dover correspondent, else
where in to-day's REPUBLICAN, has more
particulars Of the affair, and seems to
substantiats the truth Of yesterdays
telegram. II must be admitted, how
ever, that Col. Townsend did not act a.
II he had committed any aggravated
crime, for he seems to have had =
conversation with C.. C. Stocklpy, one
Of his ssreties at the depot in George
town, in broad daylight, and though
Mr.. 8. accused him OF being villain
and scoundrel. and Of going away =
defaulter, he made no effort TO have
him arrested, and Mr.. Townsend staid
At Harrington all Of Wednesday night
and came on to this city yesterday,
where he has remained until to-day
II Mr.. Townsend is the man Mr.. Stock
Icy accused him Of being he had ample
opportunities 70 have him .arrested.
These facts make us incline TO the
opinion that Townsend, though dc,
faulter, Is not so bad in other respects
as has been represented. We are not
prepared to express our opinions
fully upon a subject which appears to
be considerably mixed up, but which at
the same time looks very unfavorable
for Mr.. Townsend.
