MISREPRESENTATION silly and
scurrilous account Of the banquent given
by State Treasurer Reynolds to the mem-
bers of the Legislature, published by the
Republican, deserved more severe re-
buke than it received. 1t was false and
insulting to all the participants in the
banquet. 1t was wanton misrepresen-
tation of the whole affair, and from its
falsehoods the reader might infer that
Governor Hall and Judge Houston, by
their presence and countenance, encour-
aged and participated in revelry and de-
bauchery on the occasion, and that the
whole night was passed in wild scene
one member got disfigured countenance.
1t is in this way that the people are i'm
posed upon by the writers for the Rad-
cal press, and sometimes made TO believe
that Democrats are ANYTHING else than
order-loying and respectable people, 1t
is the fashion of all the newspapers in
the North that follow the lead of Wen
dell Phillips ard VIM. Lloyd Garrison to
do this, as ii is we'll known these men pro-
pagate Just such ISLANDERS whenever they
can. The people OF Delaware have suf-
fered detraction enough from such prints
and newspapers abroad, and unless they
resent it they may expect it, from kim
dred motive, from such like papers in this
State. The article was countenanced by
being read in the House and being re ad
there, shou have been at least denied
before 1t was characterized, as it deserved
to be, as beneath the dignity of that body.
1t did not only refer to the members of
the Legislature, but it implicated the
Executive and Judiciary also, whom we
know abhor such scenes as it falsely por.
trayed.

We HAVE heretofore said in the Ga

and all the force of the Custom Uouse in
New \ ork with the immense amount OF
money and patronage ca the government
there to effect his own Reelection and aid
a political faction of his party. This is
now established as true, If L. b. HAYES

By THE official Ire asury statement on
the 2d of January the Government d.
posits in national banks amounted to
S53, ,30S. The deposits, although
mainly credite, and, for that matter, a
large part Of all the bank deposits are
only credit (loans on one side, bank de-
posils on tie otler), the New York Post
reminds its readers that they nevelthe-
less swell the resources of the loan or
market and largely account for the very
low rates which now obtain both Tor q.
mand and long lime loans. This ex-
treme case of the money market has had
very much to do with the speculation
that is now raging, and that bids fair to
run beyond the limits of securities aud
shares dealt in the 5 ock Exchanges. For
weeks past there bas been constantly
ascending scale Of prices, until now they
are from s to 20 points higher than al
the beginning Of the year. When ano
where they will are conundrums tha
some of the larger operators will proba

even few dollars for printing which We
had credited him for. and yet he was sober
and honest, and very prudent in all his ex-
penditures.
We are not making an argument one
way or the other In this matter. Weare
simply stating facts, or trying to do so as
pear as we can. We are not in favor
at New Castle; and have received FEW
favors in the shape of printing. And
only desire to keep the readers OF the
GAZETTE posted. When we have gone
to New Castle we have mostly found the
officers engaged. Writing is laborions
work when one has to copy with care
and accuracy, and it is not expected that
a man can write continually, beside that
these gentlemen are compelled to be
courteous and to receive gentlemen who
call, with the usual civility extended to
visitors. Then again their business is
not regular. Sometimes they have little
to do for weeks, and at other times they
have to work night and day. The fees
comes in slowly sometimes. No WORK,
no pay. If the offices were salaried,
every citizen would have to pay part oil
the fees while having nothing to do with
the cases. Would not this tend to cause
a great increase Of this kind Of business F?
We think 1t would. Now, if a man gets
his pay in fees and does all the work, he
gets all the money. If, however, he is
not able to do all the work, or liberal
enough to pay clerk, he may perhaps
save his health at the expense OF his
pocket. Now, as TO the fees, whether
they are too high or too low, we have not
had time to examine them, as carefully
as we should, nor compare them as print
ed in the volume of 1874 with them as
printed in the volume of 1852. But so
far as we have been able to judge, we
incline to the opinion that the present
fees are not too high. 1t may be
one or two are. In reference to
the Prothonotary's Office, we think there
is one fact that is not generally known,
which is that it is in law regarded as
always open, night and day; or in other
words that officer is bound TO get up out
of his bed at any time and 60 to his
Office and record judgment, nor is he
permitted to charge an extra fee for this.
Gentlemen have not usually retired from
these offices with much money. We
doubt if there is an officer at New Castle
that has kept record of all his fees, and
could with exactness tell what he annu.
ally receives from his office. The fee
bill, as recorded in the Digest, covers
every item for which charge can legally
be made, and the same service applies in
all the counties alike.
The daily gazette., 1879-02-01

THE SALARIES of the State officers. as
they were printed in the Delaware
Law Digest, in 1852, and again in the
volume of 1874, will be found clearly
stated in another article in this paper
1t will be seen that the salaries before
the war were exceedingly low; yet there
We're gentlemen always ready and eager
to accept OF the offices. This was pota-
bly, the case in 1o4s-9, when the friends
OF Hon. James A. Bayard urged his
claims for the States Attorneyship, while
the friends of the present Chancellor
insisted upon him being appointed. Gov.
ernor Tharp appointed the latter. We
think that every rejecting man will agree
that the salaries as they now exist are
not too high. We believe every salaried
officer i'll the State is named in the list
We have copied for information. The
county offices are not salaried positions
They receive their compensation from
fees. If there is little business don,
they receive small pay, and get Ii of thos,
who 90 into litigation. People who d,
not require their services do not pa,
them. This was considered by the father
the most just and fair mode. We hav,
seen even the Sheriff's office fail to pa,
profitably, and well remember that Mr.
John A. Willard, elected in 1854 by tn,
know-Nothing order, went out of tha
Office without dollar, and could not pa,

The Live Cattle Expectation

MONTREAL, Jan. 30.-Excitement ran
high among cattle dealers and exporters
to-day in regard to the action of the Eng
lish government in prohibiting the i'm
portation Of American and Canadian
cattle into Great Britain. A Montreal
shipping firm cabled their foreign agent
to-day to ascertain wba. would be done
with the cattle in transit when they ar.
rived at their destination, and received a
reply that the animals would be slaueh-
tered on their arrival. 1t is believed
some arragement will be made between
the British and Dominion governments
whereby Canadian cattle will continue to
be exported.
