Counsel i'm Council.

|
MKssRs. EDIToRs: In the proceedings
Of CouRoil on Monday evening last
noticed that the contested election case
Of w. W. Simmons versus Gill is cited
as precedent for the exclusion Of
counsel from the case. Now what are
the facts of the case as 1t stands on the
record Did Mr.. Gill ask to be allowed
counsel fop his defence No! Did Mr..
Simmons ask for it No! Who did ?
The Democratic members of Council
asked for it, and the Republican MEM
bers of that body stated that there
were no questions Of law involved in
the matter. All that was wanted was a
recount of the ballots, as the Inspector
of the election said under oath that he
had counted the votes for Inspector and
Assistant Inspector, and had counted
only four fraudulent ones, and the AS
sistant Inspector was equally as posi-
tive that there were at least twenty
such votes counted. So the Council
voted to open the boxes and proceed to
count; and what was the result! When
the ballots were counted it showed that
the Assistant Inspector was very near
right and when the tellers or clerks
made their returns to Council both the
Republican and Democratic members
signed the report, and 1t was adopted
unanimously. And further, the Demo-
cratic teller in the count, Mr.. Paynter,
of the Fourth Ward, said that they
never would have gone into the mat.
ter at all if the Inspector had not as
suIed him and others that the matter
was all straight, and he said some
things more forcible than elegant about
the "hound that was his sxpres-
sion. Now, as to the partisan part OF
the matter: 1t was developed that the
ballot box was not deposited in accord
ance with the law, which requires the
Inspector to deliver it to the Clerk Of
Council. Instead of doing so he sent
it to one of the police officers, who kept
it over night and brought it to the
clerk in the morning. Instead of throw
ing the whole vote out, which would
have been perfectly lawful, the Repub-
lican members, when the boxes showed
there had been no tampering with
them, would not deprive the ward Of
its representation in Council, although
its two members we're opposed to the
working majority. The action OF Coun-
Gil at that time was approved and COM
mendsd by all the papers in Whining
ton that said anything upon the sub
ject. So you will see that the course
of Council in this case is in no sense a
precedent to refuse Mr.. Evans the ben
eft of counsel if he wants it, and they
believe in the good old Democratic doc
trine of government by the people, and
not by bummers and tramps, and the
act of Council in denying Mr.. Evans
counsel the right of the floor inside the
rail in the Council chamber is unpar-
alleled, a. in the above case Mr.. Walter
Cummins, the refused counsel, was
permitted to occupy seat inside, and
| saw M attempt to interfere with him,
he posted the Democratic
members. One WHO WAS PRESENT.

Jeater From NeWpOrt.

The town Of Newport was the scen'
of considerable excitement on last eve
ming, the 9th, caused by the arrival o
Mrs. Potts the tourist. Mrs. P. does
not seem to be much fatigued, but in
good walking trim. She can put oul
best walking men up to their highest
locomotive power to keep up with her.
She was followed on her journey from
Elkton to this place by colored man.
Suspicion was excited that his inten-
tions were not good, and he was arrest
ed here and given an informal hearing,
and then taken to Wilmington fol
further examination.
The protracted meeting now going on
in the Stanton NJ. L. church under the
supervision of Rev. Mr.. Rigg, is attend
ed with good results. Twenty-eight
conversions have so far been the result
of these meetings.
Our town is still improving. Mr.. c.
Groom has improved the appearance of
his residence and store very much.
Mr.. John Chandler, who one year ago
erected small hot house for the cul-
tivation of flowers, has by close appli-
cation to his business learned that it
will pay, and has erected house more
than four times the dimensions OF the
first. Mr.. G. Is a man of great patience
and perseverance, and just the one to
succeed in his undertaking.
Mr.. Samuel Stewart one OF the rollers
at the mill of Messrs. Marshall, while
regulating the roller lost control Of the
power and was struck bya bar, and
knocked senseless, receiving a wound
on the left side of his head about an
inch in length and bruising the flesh
considerably. DR.. Booth dressed the
wound, and he will be about again in a
short time.
Our academy under the charge Of
Mr.. Johns and Miss Booth is progress
ing finely. Prof. Groves, State Super
intendent of public schools, visited this
institution lately and expressed him
self much pleased with the manage
ment of the school. Miss Booth possesses
the happy art of controlling without
severity, and good order prevails. The
children advance rapidly in their
studies and love their teacher. 1t is
scene OF beauty to Sec the clean little
boys and girls going to school in the
morning with their bouquets tor their
teacher. The parents say the flower
garden really suffers to meet the de-
mands the little ones make.

this place is undergoing repairs. and

An Outlet to the Delaware.

The Surveyors of the West Cheste
and Philadelphia Railroad Company
who are locating branch road from
Morton Station, on the road of tina
Company to Chester, have nearly com
pleted their second and probably fina
survey. The branch strikes Cheste
near Hyatt's Military Academy and rum
through a rich agricultural district, tt
which it will be great advantage, a!
well as to West Chester. The proposed
routs is not more than five miles long
but it will give the West Chester and
Philadelphia Railroad an outlet to tht
Delaware river.
