IT WILL BIZ seen from the bids which
were opened yesterday for the building
of the new Court House that all the
bids are above the limit ALLOW I'd by the
Legis ature, the lowest bid being SO,
504, which is So, 504 above what the
Levy Court is allowed to appropriate.
The highest bid was s27 ,44S above the
limit allowed by the special act of the
Legislature. With the competition
which is shown by the bids it is evident
that the building sketched by the arch.
itect on canvass cannot be put up for
$4,000, and the Levy Court building
committee, if they want to keep within
the limits of law will have to get their
Philadelphia architect to pare down a
little to enable the Philadelphia con-
tractor to come down within the limits.
We might as well say here now, and in
saying so we know that We but express
the sentiments of leading citizens of all
parties, that NO, 900 is too small sum
to build court house as would be a
credit to county like New Castle and
a city like Wilmington. There are I'M
pretentious churches in the city that
cost the big end of $40, 900 to erect and
judging from that standpoint twice
$4,000 would not be too much to be
expended in building court house, of
which our citizens would not b. ashamed
of from the start.

ALTHoU5fI Brigham Young had sev-
enteen wives at his death none of them
seem to have had enough wifely affec
ton Tor him as to erect a monument to
his memory, or even to make his grave
look respectable. This is a sad COM
mentary on the civlizing and Oh list
ianizing influences of the Mormon re-
ligi)n. If here was any Mormon that
deserved a Ierpetuation of his memory
on marble slab or chiseled urn that one,
We would have thought, was Brigham
Young, but it seems that his wives who
on hit to know him better thought diff
ferently.

A Free Ballot.

The above is one of the battle cries of
the Democratic party. 1t is not fair
ballot that they want but free, a
fraudulent one. They want not only
scallawags to vote once, but twice or
thrice if need be to obtain the majority.
In this way they carried New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Mississippi,
North Carolina and other States at the
last Presidential election, and came
within an ace of carrying Louisiana,
South Carolina and Florida. Any thing
that will initiate against the successful
practice of fraud ON tLeir part at the
next election, meets with their disap-
probation, and they utter earnest words
of condemnation after the many out
RACES they have perpetrated it is singu.
lar that they have the effrontery to
talk of justice and right and the i'm.
portanc, Of the purity of the ballot box.
Such impudence an hypocrisy are I'M
paralleled. After having failed to de-
stroy the government, it is very cheeky
in them to pretend especial regard for
it and ask to be entrusted with its care.
Sympathizers with treason and party
bigots may approve their course, but
the true patriot cannot certainly be in
duced to do 80. Tilden's barrels may
influence some persons and the hope of
Office others, but the majority will Ger
tainly despise such petty influences.
The bull dozers and ballot box suffers
can hardly divert attention from their
misdeeds, by shrieking free elections,
or military interference at the polls, and
we trust that they may be defeated by
such majority that they will never
again use their perfdious tongues to
make promises that they have not the
slightest intention to live up to.

The Democratic bull dozers Of Missis.
sippi seem to have some trouble in
keeping down the Republicans who
would carry the State by 10000 major
ity if allowed to vote. Everybody
recolleots the murder Of Judge CHS
holm, his son, his beautiful daught
and his Scotch friend in Kemper county
and further, how that Gully the ring
leader ofthe murderers was elected sher
iii of the county for the services which
he had rendered the Democracy. KEN
per is a strong Republican county wher
votes are counted outsid the ball0
box, but when those put in the box
are counted it is as solidly Democratic
as tn. most enth usiastc bulldozer could
wish it. Since the murder of the CHS.
holm family three years ago, Kemper
has been unusually quiet and has SOL
idly voted the Democratic ticket, and
the revolvers and shot guns were
growing rusty for want Of use. Matters
however are getting lively again in
Kemper on account Of man there who
is evidently tired Of this life announ-
ing himself as Republican candidate
for county clerk, and friend Of the
man named Stewart, has had the dar.
ing and the TEN Gritty to make . speech
in favor of the election Of the Repabli-
eau vt De Kalb. What followed the
delivery of this speech is thus narrated
in the "Meridan Mercury" paper Of
violent bulldozing propensities pub
lished in an adjoining county:
"Stewart marshalled large crowd
Of ,ag-o.- --l maui very stronR
Radical speech to them, during which
he made some very insulting personal
illusions to prominent Democrats Of
that county. He made some very in
sulting remarks about young Mr.. Brit
tain's father, who knocked him down
with brick and went for him with a
knife. They had lively russell before
any one could separate them, during
which Stewart was severely, but not
dangerously, cut in three places"
The New York "Tribune," abiding
to the affair, says the "insulting allu-
sions to prominent Democrats" no
don bt consisted in some mild reference
to their behavior three years ago, when
they led mob of hundred armed
men into the village of De Kalb, one
Sunday morning, broke open the Jail
into which Judge Chisholm had been
thrown on false charges, and where his
family had followed him, mortally
wounded the Judge and his heroic
killed his young son before
his eyes, shot dead harmless Scotch
man who ventured to protest against
the butchery, and murdered in cold
blood Republican friend of Chisholm
who was a prisoner in the hands of the
mob. 1t is thought bad taste in KEN
per county to criticise the men who
took part in the Democratic mass meet
ing held that Sabbath day in De Kalb.
The "tussel'' which put stop to Stew
arts speech was in all probability an
attempt on his part to protect himself
against a deadly assault by one of the
appointment Democrats" who had a
hand in the Chisholm massacre. A ia
vorite pretext for breaking up Republic
can meetings in the South is 10 charge
the speaker with insulting the Demo-
cratic party or some of its members.

A NOTE
Not Poor hat Di. ho est.

There is an idea prevalent throughout
the country that the Southern States
are really so poor that they cannot pay
the interest on their debts, and hence
there is disposition manifested on the
part o. many to excuse the States Of
the South that are making snch SIREN
nous efforts 10 repudiate. 1t is not
true however that the Southern States
are poor as is shown by the light tax
rate that ia required to pay off tho
interest. Indeed, this tax rate is SO
small that there are few Northern States
that would fee the burthen as one worth
serious consideration. The largest de BIT
is thai Of Virginia-@29, 900, 000-but
her taxable valuation is so large that
the tax rate is but fifty cents. Tonnes
see, which is crazy upon reputation,
has debt of $25, 0O0,O 900, but her tax
is but IS cents, and this is really re-
duced BY receipts from railroads and
other sources. Texas pays but SO cents,
Mississippi and Georgia the same, Ala
bama 10 cents, Arkansas 60 cents, Flori-
da 80 cents, South Caroline. Ak .--.-,
while Kentucky and Missouri pay but
40 cents, and North Carolina the small
amount of 3S cents. Louisiana is the
highest, $l.45, and this is partly due
t, the imperf ctions in valuation, by
which many parishes pay ridiculous
ly low sum, almost the entire amount.
in fact, being based upon the large
cities. The valuation of the State is
but sl47,0Oo,0Oo. Every one knows
that the city OF New Orleans itselfshould
at least produce this. Her valuation
in proportion'is smaller than any other
state. Indeed, some of the other South
ern States are valued at twice as much.
This shows we think very oonclusively
that tn Southern States could very
easily pay off all their debts il they
would, but it is very evident that the
Southern people would rather repudiate
their honest obligations than to make
an honest effort to pay them off.
