Honest aud Economical.

Tie Democrats not only pretend to
desire honest elections, but also claim
to be exceedingly economical. We
have already shown that their pretsn
sions to honesty Is o mere sham, inten-
dsd to deceive unwary voters, and We
shall now show that their claim to
economy Is equally fallacious. At the
previous session of Congress they were
80 short-sighted as to refuse to appro-
pirate money to meet the expenses Of
the Courts, the post-office department,
and other branches Of the Government,
leaving deficiencies that had to be met
by extra appropriations. The appa-
rent saving was therefore deceptive,
and failed to attract voters to their
party. The members Of Congress there
fore Immediately assumed another role
on assembling at Washington. Instead
of being extremely parsimonious, they
became exceedingly liberal. An enor-
nous pension law was enarted, under
which claims will be presented amount
ing to nearly one hundred millions Of
dollars, appropriations were proposed
for every conceivable object, and the
failure of some Of them was only effec.
ted by the united vote Of the Republi-
cans. In their anxiety to procure votes
through the repeal Of the act providing
for the appointment Of supervisors Of
elections, ar extra session of Congress
was made necessary, and the additional
expense of mileage for each member
was saddled on the Treasury.
Capt. Eads was given s2,0o0,oos for
the construction of ietties, TO increase
the depth of water in the Missis-
sippi, before his, contract had been com
pleted, and money was voted away in
many instances in an exceedingly Law.
ish hand, while the revenues were re-
duced by lsssening the tax on tobacco
and cigars and nostep hat ever taken to
increase the revenue. The result must
be deficiency in the treasury, and the
monthly statement will show an in
crease instead of diminunition of pub
lie inde btedness.
Thousands OF dollars have also been
squand.red by investigating commit
tees, az we'll as in other ways, showing
their pretensions to economy are as
hollow and deceptive as are their claims
to honesty" in the conduct Of cleo
tions. In short their object is TO secure
the election Of their candidate to the
Presidency, and to effect that object
murder has been winked at by leading
men among them, and now the chiefbar
rier to illegal voting in the cities must
be broken down.

Leaving The south.

We have the significant news from
St. Louis that on Sunday morning the
''Grand Tower" OF the Anchor Line, ar
rived there having on board 500 Me-
groes who we're smigrating from Mis-
sissippi to Kansas. The report further
says that this 10 the third lot in the
last three weeks, and that the river
banks are lined with crowds anxious
to come and awaiting the first opportu-
nifty. The exodus Of the negroes from
the South need occasion no surprise,
a. it 10 the practical result Of the per-
secutions they have had to endure from
the rebel "bulldoxers." The district
which the ex-rebel Chalmers, OF Fort
Pillow massacre fame, misrepresents in
Congress, lies along the Mississippi
river, extending from the north to the
south end of the State OF Mississippi, a
distanc. Of about 800 miles. 1t is call
ed the "shos string" because it is long
and crooked and made so for the pur
pose of crowding the heavily settled
negro counties into one district, that
was conceded to them a. there was aud
is now at least IS, ,0G0 of Republican
majority in it, and the rebels them
selves never expected to carry it when
it was laid out. But thsdays of intimi-
dation came, and the White League
sprang mp in this black "shoe string"
district, and if a colored man dared to
vot. Republican ticket, he did so at
the risk of having bullet put through
his head. Under these circumstances
the rebel Chalmers got himself a few
Thousand votes, and has pretended to
represent the district in Congress dur
ing the last session and is back again
in the present Congress. Instead of
the district being represented by John
W. Lynch who was once elected, or
SOM other intelligent colorsl man as
il should be, it is misrepresented by
Chalmers, the man who was the negro
butcher of Fort Pillow. This is but
one Congressional dstric: in the South
out Of many others that are similarly
situated, ard under the circumstances
It need not be thought strange that the
oo'ared men are seeking place where
they can enjoy that freedom Of thought
and action, and protection from tyran
ny and persecution which the consti-
..T..:3n cur nation guarantees, but
does not enforce. The disposition of
the colored peopls to leave the
South opens up quite another question
than that Of politics, and of more i'm
portance than the mere question o;
who shall represent district in Con-
grsss. The question of labor and the
cultivation OF cotton, rice and sugar
crops Of the South are apt 70 be effect.
ed by this negro exodus, and it is not
improbable that even the South will in
the not far future be advocating the
protection of the colored men in their
civil and political rights, rather than
to allow them to emigrate to the West
leaving the Southern plantations to
run to waste.

Ir SEEMS THAT we did Representative
Fooks, from Sussex county, injustice in
our Fridays issue, when we said that
he had Joined issue with Mr.. Dean in
exposing the legislative banquet near
the beginning of the session. We in.
advertently made the remark, when we
only meant that Mr.. Fooks supported
Mr.. Dean in his advocacy of retainlrG
the supervisor clause of the liquor BILL
We should have been glad if what we
said of Mr.. Fooks had been correct, but
he is entitled TO this explanation, and
we will still have peace.

CIV Debt.


One of tho reasons why the City does
not have money enough to pay the cur.
rent expenses without an increase OF
taxation, is because the debts due the
city are not collected as close as they
should be. When Fourth street was
macadamized there was considerable OF
opposition to the improvement, but time
bas shown that Fourth street is one OF
the best streets in the city and one OF
the easiest kept in repair. This I'M
provement was made four years ago,
and the opposition to it has almost en-
tirely died away, and yet, strange as it
NAV seem there are thousands Of dol.
lars due on the macadamizing of that
street, that are uncollected, and those
who owe the city 1t is said defy the
auditor. Between Market and Shipley
is property owner who paid over on
demand the big end of two hundred
dollars IS his share of the improvement
which had beeen assessed to him, while
another property owner in the same
SQUARE it is said owes about the same
amount, and defies every effort made to
collect it. The same is said to DO the
case with a couple of heavy property
owners on Broom street, one OF them
having paid his bill on demand, and
other has not on ly not paid, but deaes
the auditor to collect it. 1t is said that
there are numerous claims all over the
city tLat should long ago have been
paid. This state OF affairs should GER
tainly not exist. Those who owe these
bills to the city for three and four
wears should be made to pay what they
owe, or the city should refund that
which has been paid. Where are the
officers whose duty it is to make these
collections If they cannot enforce the
ordinances, let others be appointed who
can.

Patent Coal Cart.

James Mills OF the firm of Mills &
Combs, coal dealers at the corner Of
Fourth street and Railroad avenue, has
invented and had patented very in
genious coal cart which cannot help
but work its way into public favor.
The patent is on the construction of the
bed, for any substantial frame with
two strong wheels will ansS er for the
running gears or trucks. The cart bed
Is like any other cart bed, but it is so
hung on pivot that by the turning of
an axle by crank the bed is raised
up to any attitude desired from which
the coal can be easily conveyed in a
sohute over the pavement into the GEL
lar, or into the first story of house if
desired without .leaviug any dirt.
By the arrangement of the cart bed
which throws portion Of the load up
on the horses back to carry instead Of
compelling him to drag it after him,
one horse can haul q ton of
coal with nearly as much ease as
two horses could with . four wheel
wagon.
On Thursday afternoon Mr.. Mills was
testing his new invention and the ease
with which his horse drew ton of coal
up Fourth street to Market was surpris-
ing, and it was more So rprising to see
with what ease and little trouble the
coal was thrown across the pavement
into the cellar of house in Orange
street. The advantages Of Mr.. Mills
new invention is that avoids dirt, saves
the labor of one horse, and as any cart
wheels will answer it saves the expense
of coal wagon.

1t is now about two years since this
firm Of young men came to Wilmington,
remodeled the large building which
they now occupy, until they had one Of
the finest stores in Delaware, and then
stocked it with full line of everything
beautiful which the markets abroad
afforded. AT first many predicted for
them nothing but an ignominious fail

proves that they knew just what they
were about. They secured an extern

out that they were strictly honest in
their dealings, and that their represen-

as tor an assortment there are very few
lines manufactured that cannot bs

Among the specialties they are now
offering may be mentioned ladies cloaks

a pair of horses belonging to M. Weldie

front of Remington & Co.'S machine
shops, on Front street, took flight at q

distance succeeded in getting hold of
them, and, turning them into tree, de.
tanned them until the driver came and
