On Saturday afternoon last party OF
young gentlemen repaired to Schentzen

ability as walkists. There was no bet.
ting whatever upou the result. and the
affair was but friendly tilt as to who
would make the best time. The follow

participants

Half mile run.-John p. Keogh, 3
minutes; James F. Early, 81 minutes;
H. A. Duffy, 2 minutes So seconds, D.
A. McCullin 3 minutes.
As will be seen from the above, good
time was made by all the pedestrians,
and each made a creditable record. Mr..
VIM. Carey, however, in the fvemile
walk, exhibited qualities which stamp
him al pedestrian of more than aver
age ability. He has a remarkably
graceful carriage, his stride is long and
regular end he uses so little exertion
thai at the end of five miles he was as
fresh as at the start.

No DOUBT but the Republicans could
capture the organization Of the new
Congress n they wished to do so, but
they know II would be barren victory.
They ere not anxious to assume control
Of Congress and be responsible for all
the evils which must flow from it dur
ing the session, and they very wisely
stand aloof and refuse to be- handicap
ped for the campaign Of 1880. United
as they now are they will wiold a more
potent influence than if they had the
Speaker and the Chairmanships of all
the committees, and this the ex-rebel
Democracy will find out before the
present Congress closes. With South
ern man in the Speakers chair, and
with one hundred Southern Democrats
in Congress- compared to only about
Forty.fve from the North, the Repub-
icans have but to remain united and
protest against Democratic tyranny,
and Legislation to perpetuate fraud, to
insure them a sweeping victory in 1880.
1t is wise in the Republicans to refuse
all aff'iation with the Greenbackers
and dissatisfied Democrats in Congress {.
Let them stand upon principle and vic
tory will come.

" Ok TO NBw CASTLE !" is the Watch

Peninsula Methodist camp.
"YOu'll Have to stand"

One time Henry Ward Beecher went
down to Boston to lecture. In the a.
ternoon he went into barber shop Of
great tone and refinement to be shaved.
The barber was a garrulous little fel
low who entertained Mr.. Becker, while
he lathered his face, with intellectual
conversation. He asked, "Are you
going to the lecture this evening" Go
ing to the lecture'"
"0h," Mr.. Beecher replied YEARLY,
as a man ~ho didn't take much stock

"Why," the amazed barber exclaim-
ed, "Rsv. Henry Ward Bsecher: Rev

bT. Beecher reused up little with
an air of Indifferent interest. ooh,

William Herbert, county Treasurer
in his last published statement, sal,
that ten cents added to the tax rat

would pay off the entire floating an,
bonded debt of the county, and tn
committee say: "Where will you fin,

Of careful and competent judges,
amount to nearly AZ much as the inter.

cumstances the COMMITTEES say that to
refuse To pass the bill for removal, and
to pass one prohibiting the spending Of
money for the extension aud repair of
the old building, or the erection OF a
new one at New Castle, would be TO rs
tablish and perretuate by law a public
nuisance, and they further forewarn
the Senators and Representatives from
Kent and Sussex that a refusal to Weld

bers of the Legislature and an over.

Understood by every member of the

Honest FL ectlOms.

The Democrats pretend to be the specia
advocates of honesty in the conduct O
elections, and fair and full expression
OF the opinions and desires of the peO.
pie through the ballot-box. 1t is need
less to say that their object Is TO de-.
ceive and mislead the unwary and toe
confding citizen. The men who labored
some twenty years ago to destroy the
government of our country, protested
the highest veneration and love for tn.
constitution, and were greatly exercised
lest 1t might be violated or disregarded ed
by those who should attempt to resis,
or stamp out an unhsllowed rebellion
The hypocrisy Of those traitors is n,
more apparent than that which Is nov
practictd. They willingly resorted to
any subterfuge to cover up their inten-
tions and further their villainous pur-
poses, and the Democracy of the pres
snt day are following their ignoble ex.
ample. They have determined to elect
their candidate for the Presidency, and
TO control the legislation and hold the
omces in our country. The most
shocking outrsges practiced in
h,arly all the Southern States, the
breaking up Of public meetings, the
murder of hundreds of citizens like
Wild beasts, and the stufang of the
ballot boxes in order to make a solid
South, meet with no condemnation at
their hands.
Through the devils most Internal prae
tices the elections have been CARRIED,
and to-day we hav. a solid South for
the Democratic ticket. and Democratic
success in that section of our country
is assured. The election there is mere
mockery, an insult to common sense, q
blot upon the good name of our coun-
try. Yet not Democrat can be found
in the whole country that will raise his
voice in condemnation of the great
crimes perpetrated. In fact they all
seem willing to profit by them, holding,
we presume, that the end accomplished
justiies the vilest means, the most das.
tardly and'demon-like practices. This
conclusion is fully warranted by the
course pursued in regard to the repeal
Of the law providing for the appoint
ment Of U. S. Supervisors. These off.
GERS can't intimidate or keep any quail
fed voter away from the polls. Only
the disqualified fear their interference.
The repeal of the enactment is sought
not in order to promote fair dealing,
but to promote traud-to insure the
polling of illegal votes in New York
and Cincinnati, where the shot gun
policy practiced in the solid south, can
not be resorted to with safety. Failing
to secure the repeal Of the law by d.
rect enactment, they attached repeal
irg clause to an appropriation bill, and
the President declining to sanction such
psrtizan action, an extra session of Con-
kress was rendered necessary, and the
outlay Of thousands of dollars must be
the result. Truly an honest and econo-
mical party.
