REPRESENTATION ACCORDING TO PopULA-
TIoN.-The Wilmington Republican is advo-
eating representation according to popula.
ton, whereby New Castle county, having a
larger population than both Kent and
Sussex, would have larger representation
in the Legislature than both combined.
The increase in population giving this pre-
ponderance has been mainly in the city of
Wilmington, and the effect would be to
give that city the control of the legislation
of the State. The Dela,carean takes up the
question, differing with the Republican, and
says:
While we should be perfectly willing to
see that city, if its interest requires it, have
some increase in her representation, we
hope never TO see the legislation of the
State controlled or largely shaped by that
or any other city. In the hands of repre-
sentatives from the conservative rural sec
ton of the State, the interest of all will be,
as they have been, protected; and we
should deprecate the folly and madness
which should induce such a radical change
in our organic law as would permit the
legislation of the State to be directed by a
single city. We have a most kindly feel
ing for our largest city, and are proud of
her prosperity; but we have an equal re-
gard for the other portions of the State, and
shall not willingly consent to see their in
terest subordinated to that of Wilmington.

V!sIToRs.-The following list of persons

OF the Hale variety, and were sold by r. L.

REsUMPTIoN.-A year ago class of poll
ticians were loud in their declamations
against resumption of specie payments and
prophssied all kinds of evils as the result.
They were however defeated in every effort
to repeal it, and the law has been in effect
for some months. The New York Tribune
thus summarizes its beneficial results:
ga year ago, specie resumption was a
great bug-bear, which most people dreaded
Many who knew that resumption was a
duty and a necessity were not the less
weighed down with fear, and wished that
the cup might pass from them. Solemn
warnings filled the air. Things were going
to sell for a trife. The monster resump.
ton, was going to grind up the peoples
bones, and drink their life blood. For pitt
less money-lenders it was to be q day of
bliss. The rich were to be made richer;
the poor were to be made poorer; and
labor was to be crushed and starved.
"The day of doom came six months ago,
and we are yet alive. Not one of the
frightful things foretold has come to pass.
Less property has been forced to sale than
in any previous half year for a long time.
Prices are higher, on the whole, than they
were a year ago. Money has not grown
more scarce, but for every safe and honest
use more plentiful. More men and women
are at work for living wages than at anv
time from 1872 to 1879. The rattle of mills
is heard, and the blaze of furnace.fres is
seen in all parts of the land, where in July
last all was still and dark. The number of
failures and the losses by failures have
diminished greatly. New farms by the
thousand prove that toll brings fair pay to
farmers new mines, new shops and mills,
new railroads and new houses, in all parts
of the land, give work to multitudes, and
bear witness that life and hope have come
back to industry and trade. In short, the
weary years of sinking prices, PROSTATE in
dustry and stagnant trade are past, and the
country has plainly entered upon a new
era of steady recovery and sure return to
prosperity.
"No man will suffer himself to be
cheated twice by the same lying guide-post.
The people of this land have too much
sense not to profit by the practical lesson
in finance which events have taught them.
Many who have been deceived by predic.
tions of the harm to come from resump-
ton, have turned their backs upon false
guides, and have set their face toward the
truth. They have seen the dangers of re-
sumption vanish like ghosts, as we get near
them. Every word Of hope, spoken in be-
half of public faith and honest money, they
have seen verified. The old teaching of
conscience and common-sense--tha honesty
is the best policy-has been brought home
to the mind by the experience of the past
year.

the trustees of ST. Mary's Hall of Burling-
ton, N. j., as successor to the Rev. Elyin
4. Smith, who for twenty.one years has
filled the position of rector of that famed
institution. The rector-elect, is a graduate
of the University of Pennsylvania, is
about 40 years of age, and his ante
cedents as a teacher and well-known
scholastic attainments, manly virtues and
Christian graces eminently qualify him
for the high and responsible trust commit
ted to his charge. Mr.. McKim will enter
upon his duties at the reopening of the hall,
September 20. Rev. E. K. Smiths note of
resignation of the rectorship was ac.
knowledged by the Board of Trustees with
a very handsome expression of their regret
at his decision and appreciation of his many
years services.

Mr. WELSH REsIGNs.-The London Daily
Ne10s, of the 28th inst, announces that in
consequence of domestic bereavements Mr..
John Welsh, the Minister of the United
States, has resigned, and will sail for home
about the Goth of August.
The Hon. John Welsh, of PHILADELPHIA.
received his commission as Minister in
November, 1877. The death of his brother,
and more recently of his sister, has caused
him to refrain for some time back from
sharing in all public festivities. He was
absent from the Fourth of July banquet in
London, and is apparently greatly de.
pressed.
If it cannot be said that the later renorts
from Memphis are encouraging. it ia at
least true that they present no new els-
ment of encouragement. There is no in.
crease in the daily average of cases, which
in the neighborhood of ten or twelve,

fever is waning. It is too soon to count
upon any such result, but if it should prove

A COAL NINE HORROR.

AN EXPLOSION OF GAS CAUSES THE
DEATH OF ELEVEN MEN.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 10, 1879.
A despatch from Victoria says On
Tuesday morning fire was discovered in
No. 10 level of the Wellington coal mine,
at Departure Bay. 1t was supposed to
have been extinguished on the following
day. and on Thursday morning when
twenty-five or thirty miners entered the
level to resume work an explosion oc-
Cured, blowing the working of the level
into ruins, killing eleven men aud Sc
riously injuriug the others.
THE VICTIMS.
The killed are seven Americans and
four Cinnamon.
Three Cinnamon are still in the work
ings, but there is no hope for them. Vol
unteers who entered the level in the at
ternoon report that the foul air Is sc
strong that they cannot remain below fol
any length of time. The level Will have
to be flooded, as the mine is on fire iu
that vicinity. The Vancouver's Goa
Company's men have stopped work and
gone to the rescue. The scene at the
mouth of the pit Is heartrending. Wives
and children are weeping for their hus
bands and fathers, and parents for theil
children.
