AMERICAN LOVE for fair play has sell
dom been more severely tested than in
the remarkable contest that terminated
on Saturday wight in New York. 1t is
probable that half million of money
was laid on the result, and the temper
of the crowd was soured early in the
week by the breaking down of OLeary,
upon whom the hopes OF SO many had
been placed. Nevertheless there was
no unusual disturbance, and the Eng,
lishman was loudly cheered as he left
the track. After O'Leary had paid
the penalty of his ill-timed excesses
there was little hope of the retention o.
the belt on this side Of the water but
Ennis has shown himself a rival not tt
be despsed, and Roxell will have t.
put his bes. foot forward to walk away
from the man who comes from Chicago
to Step into O'Leary's shoes. Their
is disposition to snesr at the men VIII
entered into this competition, but tn
three who stood it cut to the end viii
pocket more money than they eve
made before in their lives. On til
whole they have perfect right to laug
at those who paid their dollars to Sc
them hurrying round the ring.

The majority in the House Yesterday

The majority in the House yesterday
gave q specimen Of its partisan temper
by promptly seating Hull, instead Of
Bisbee, from the disputed district in
Florida. The latter's right to his seat
is no less substantial thap that Of Mr..
Randall himself, and the so-cslled cleo
ton of Hull was a fraud Of the most
palpable character. But the Democratic
ma ority is too small to permit the par
ty TO indulge in the luxury Of justice.
Mr.. Frye's motion to refer the claims Of
both men to the Committee Of Elections
was defeated by only three votes, four
teen Green backsrs voting with the Re.
publicans, and this fact Of itself ex plains
the precipitation with which the Dem.
ocrats have acted. 1t is hardly nsc.s-
sary to say that Mr.. Hull was obliged
to take the modified oath, and that he
holds his seat by a tenure which will
make him an unquestioning and oLedi-
ent member Of the majority. The only
consolation for such acts Of gross par
tisan tyranny is that each one make
still more direct and complete the re.
sponsibility Of the Democratic party,
and renders it easier for the country to
form 4 correct judgment Of its conduct
and tendencies.

An Unjnstiaable Attae h

We condemn az much as and body the
circular that has been put forth by. the
Clerk OF the Peace, John P.aspringer, in
opposition to the removal Of the Court
House from New Castle to Whining :on,
but al the same time Mr.. Springer has
as much right to the expression Of his
opinion upon this subject as ANYBODY
else has, and il he ia honest in his opin-
ions he deserves the more credit, as he
lives in Wilmington ani has the nerve
to brave public opinion regardless Of
the consequences. We have no hest.
tation in saying that we think Mr..
Springer is wrong, but that is his bust.

right nor reputable that he should be
misrspresented as he was in yestsr.
days "Eysry Evening"" Certainly
that paper has been led into error when

Office are 1900 a year We were as

Springer himself, but by other gentle
men familiar with the business Of hi;
office, that 50, 900 year is the utmost
limit that his ofice is worth. Tn,
"Kvery Evening" is also grossly in er
ror when it puts the term of Mr.. Spring

we'll known by those who make them
selves familiar with such subjects, tha
the term OF office for which the Clerk i,
appointed is five years instead ofseven
and Mr.. s. is now serving the fourth o
his second term. According to tn,

Springer would have made at the sx

COnference work.

1t looks as il the Wilmington Con-
fsrenes now in session at New Castle,
viii not lack subjects which will make
lively debates before they end. Two
Of these subjects were introduced the
FIRST day Of the session, and will loom
up before the Conference every day un-
I'll the questions are disposed Of or Con-
ference closes. They are both ques
tions of importance and will not easily
be br ushed aside. One of these ques-
tions rel ates to the manner in which
camp meetings are carried on, the broad
ground being taken in the resolutions Of.
fered by Rev. Mr.. Tough, that they
have become mere places for batter and
trade, and for the making Of money
more than the conversion Of souls and
the increase Of spirituality in the
church. The resolutions pleiging the
ministers not to attend any camp meet
ing that leased booths or stalls for the
sale Of ice cream, cakes, candy, cigars,
melons, or toys on the Sabbath day,
met with a hearty and favorable response
from the members Of the Conference.
In reply TO a question asked by mem.
ber Of the Conference, II Brandywine Q
Summit was not all right, Rev. J. b.
Mann said that it was as bad II not
worse than any Of them. There can Be
no more doubt that there are Just
grounds for these complaints, and the
Conference cannot preserve its credit
for consistency If it let's the evils flow
Oh uninterrupted, until camp-meetings
become by-word and r.proach.
The other question of interest which
interests the Conference, was sprung
MP by Rev. J. B. Mann in reference to
money collected in Sunday Schools and
at Sunday Sc hool Missionary Anniver.
saries in the name OF tho Missionary
cause, and which was applied to other
purposes. The drift Of Conference
sentiment was strongly in favor of the
position taken by Mr.. Mann, for il
seems that this practic. is becoming
~ general as TO necsssitat+ Conference
action.

President Hayes Message

The following is the message sent by
President Hayes to both Houses Of Con-
gr-ss yesterday.
FELLOW CITIZENS OF THE SENATE AND
IIousE OF REPRESENTATIVES,: Tho fail
ure of the last Congress to make tho re-
quisits appropriations for legislative
and judicial purposes for the expenses
OF the several executive departments
of the Government, and for the support
Of the Army, has made it necessary to
call special session of the Forty. sixth
Congress. The estimates Of the appro-
priations needed, which were sent to
Congress by the Secretary Of the Treas.
ury at the opening of the last session,
are renewed, and are hereby transmit
ted to both the Senate and the House OF
Representatives.
Regretting the existence of the emer-
gency which requires special session
of Congress at time when it is the
general Judgment of the country that
the public welfare will be best promot.
cd by psrmanency in our legislation,
and by peace and rest, commend these
few necessary measures TO your consid-
crate attention. RrrHERFoRD b. HAYES,
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1879.
Accompanying the Presidents Mes
sage are estimates from the Secretary
OF the Treasury of the money needed
for the Army and the legislative, exc
cutive and judicial branches Of the
Government. These estimates are the
same as those su omitted at the opening
Of the last session, with the exception
Of the items provided for at that session.
Under the army the last Congress made
provision for the Military Academy at
West Point, and for Notifications and
armament. This leaves, according 70
the estimates, $2s, $40, 500 yet to be ap-
propriatsd for the support and mainte-
nance Of that branch.
None of the legislative, Executive,
and judicial appropriations were pro
vided for, even in part. The estimate
for these expenses is sl6,520, ,G0l.9l'
To these appropriations is also to be
added the item for the courts expenses,
which is generally placed in the Sun
dry Civil bill, but which was left out
of that bill at the last session. The
estimate for these expenses is $4,000
900.

TnorGH the question Of the Court
House removal to Wilmington does no.
com- up in the Legislature before three
o'clock this afternoon, ". hope to be
enabled to announce the passage Of the
bill in our late edition. 1t is said that
careful canvas of the House shows
that the vote will be about l2 to 9 in
favor of the bill. We hope that is true,
but still it is a very small margin to &c
and come on with absolute certainty.

w heat supply.

The N. Y. Tribune says in an editor
ial that the visible supply Of wheat is
now about q, 400, 600 bushels. Not
outstanding the enormous exports
during the crop year thus far, the sup
ply at the chief points is over l3,O0o,-
900 bushels greater than it was one
year ago at this time. No doubt this
tact ha. been the most potent cause Of
the prolonged depression Of prices at
Chicago and elsewhere. In consequence
of that depression, unquestionably,
foreign purchases have been in some
degree restrained. The foreign buyer
looks upon the low price Of wheat in
this country as the most conclusive
proof that In the judgment of those
best informed the supply in this coun
try will far outrua the demand. Be-
lieving this, the foreign purcbas
looks for relatively lower prices here
after, and def-rs his purchases as long
as possible. lie prefers to have the
United States bear the expense of car
rying wheat rather than to bear it him
self. Hence British imports Of wheat
from this country have been less by
S, 500, 600 bushels during the crop year
thus far than they were during the
year preceding. On the other hand,
exports to France and other COntinen-
tai countries have been 26,300, ,00C
bushels greater than they were to the
same date last year.

WHY Americans .RoIt..

Quarterly Review.l
1t is especially remarkable that in
the United States the ordinary food Of
the people is far better in quality and
more respectfully cooked than among
the masses in any other country, and
the Americans are known to masticate
their food very imp%erfectly-in short,
to bolt it. The habit of boiling is
probably itself due to the general ex-
cellenee Of the food-supply, coupled
with the restlessly busy temperament
of the people. Now, it is curious that
in the United States the degeneration
of the wisdom teeth has gone further
than in any European country; that
the jaws are almost always abnormally
short that the lower jaw is apt to
be rather "underhung, T" and that, as
Mr.. Grace assured Mr.. Darwin, lit is
becoming quite a common practice to
remove some of the molar teeth of
children" as the jaw does not grow
large enough to hold the proper num-
Der, To these peculiarities we must
attribute in great part the common
ness of the hatchet-face in America.

Gambling at Nnrntogn.


There has been gambling at Sara
tOga for the past eighty years, always
more or less conspicuous, says "Gath. "
This place came to be a favorite re-
sort Of Southerners and Cubans in
the early part of the century, because
its waters cleansed their systems,
which had become parched and dys-
peptic in their hot climates. Here
came John NJ. Clayton to work off his
fat, and Dixon Lewis for the same
purpose. As the big men in politics
were generally overpaid, out of exer,
else, c%orpulent and animal, it came to
be the habit of healthier men who
wanted to communicate with them to
come to Saratoga. Most of these
men gambled, as even Washington
did in a social way. Prior to the
time of George Whitfield there was
not much agitation against gambling
anywhere. 1t was regarded as a vice
almost exclusively of the rich, which
did not come within the province OF
police consideration. Many shrewd
or decayed gentlemen turned gam
blers, and, swelled with their impor
lance and hospitality, such would
keep race horses, fine chickens for
fighting, wear elegant clothing, and
have much of the style of the great
STAKEHOLDER. In those early days.
when the roads were poor and society
was hemmed in at Saratoga, to gam
bic was almost a necessity for worldly
people. Among gentlemen, sharpers
take their rise.
