strict party vote, adopted resolution
placing General Shields on the retired army
list, with the rank of Brigadier. The in
come would have made the old man COM
Portable the balance of his days; but the
moment the resolution reached the Senate,
Republican Edmunds, Of Vermont, tried to
dispose of it by referring it to the Judic-
larry Committee, knowing very well that
once committed it would never again see
the light of day. This motion the Demo-
Gratis fought, and by the aid Of few Re-
publican votes, defeated. But determined
to kill the resolution in some manner, Re-
publican Sergeant, of California, moved an
amendment to the effect that the provisions
of the resolution should also extend to Gen,
erals Grant Logan, Schurz, Clay, Washburne,
Prentiss, Palmer and all the other volunteer
Generals he could call to mind, numbering
something over thirty. This amendment
had no other purpose than to render the
original resolution ridiculous, yet the Re
publican Senate adopted it. When.
finally, the resolution as amended,
was put upon its passage 1t was,
of course, defeated. And thus, when
put to an honest test, did thu Republican
element of Congress, display its sympathy
and solicitude for the helpless and impecu-
NOUS General Shields. But Democratic eff
fort didn't stop there. A resolution was
introduced in the House, giving the old
man a pension of two thousand dollars
year. This resolution was violently as
sailed by the Republican side, and the
amount was finally cut down to one hun
dred dollars month. In this shape the
resolution passed; but upon reaching the
Senate an effort was made by several Re
publicans to reduce the sum to fifty dollars.
This effort was stoutly resisted by Demo
Gratis, and with the aid of nine Republican
Senators, the Democrats pensioned the old
man off on one hundred dollars a month.
If, in the composition of Republican hu-
man nature, there is such an ingredient as
shame, this histroy-the manner in which
the Republican party has dealt with The
veteran General Shields-should forever
close the mouths Of Republican orators when
they attempt to speak, and paralyze the
hands of Republican writers when they at
tempt to write, about Democratic i'll treat
ment of the hero Of two wars and the
Senator of three States"

EyULTANT OVER THE TRIUMPH OF
FRAUD.

If the prominent Republicans who engi-
neered the Louisiana and Florida clecto-
raj villainies should become conscience
smitten and tell all they know, the civilized
world would be shocked by the infamy of
the proceeding. They knew, before max
ING a move in the matter, that the Demo
cratic electors in those States had been
chosen by a clear and very decided ma
jority of the legal voters and until the arch
consplrator of the gang, Zachariah Chand-
Ter, Illuminated his brazen talsehood that the
Republican electors had been chosen, no
honest man in the United States denied
Tilden's triumphant election. During an
interval of two days, during which Demo
Gratis were firing cannon and rejoicing over
their victory, no Republican even dreamed
of questioning their right to jubilate. In
the face of all this, one Mr.. Townsend, Of
New York, has the audacity to arise in his
place in Congress, and sneeringiy declare
that "It is a tremendous fraud, indeed, that
the people Of the United States refused to
elect the sage of Grammercy park to the
presidency of the United States" This
man Townsend knows that the people of
the United States did elect the sage of
Grammercy park by the overwhelming my
iority of over two hundred thousand votes
He knows that had the Democrats dis
carded every vote that constituted their ma
jorities in the States that had been in REBEL
ion, that, even in that event, Hayes
would have stood repudiat ted by the
people, and Tiden as elected. Two hun
bred thousand men form vast and for
midable army-more men than fought at
Antletam or in the Wilderness larger
NUMBER imam the entlre Young population
of an average sized State, yet no larger
than the tremendous majority received by
Tilden and Hendricks. But this fact is
shamelessly ignored by Republican leaders
by men like Townsend who unblushing-
ly repeat the exasperating talschood that
the sage of Grammercy was repudiated by
the people. Heaven save us from a repe-
tition Of the affair of the winter of '76

THE old North Carolina curmudgeon who,
some two or three years ago, predicted that
during the reign OF Rutherford the world
would be afflicted with pestilencc and fam
inc, is living to see veritication of his pre-
diction. A portion Of China has already
been devasted by most fearful famine.
Cholera again threatens to ravage the Le-
want; the blackplague is devastating Russia
and Astrachan, the small pox is raging fear
fully in Brazil; and our own country, Just
from under the scourge of yellow fever,
stands in the peril of like affection next
summer. In view of the mere chance that
we are to be subjected again to such alarm
and suffering who is content with the pro-
vision suggested for projections We may
have no need for the enforcement Of pre-
cautionary measures; but to be without
such measures altogether, is not comfort
ing reflection, to say the least of it.

NJ. b. Harrell, Editor.

SECRETARY Sherman commended Judge
Bradley's son to Gen. Arthur, for place in
the New York custom house, in the warm
est terms, and concluded by telling Gen.
Arthur that young Bradley "should be
appointed for manifest reasons" The rea-
sons were manifest to Arthur, to Sherman
and to every other Republican who was be-
hind the scenes of the Z to s drama.
Judge Bradley had scared his soul by
committing great wrong; by outraging
justice and by defeating the popular will
that Republican ascendancy might be
maintained, and he thus rendered it "mani
test why his son should share the fruits OF
his fraud and infamy.

The Way Vanderbilt Sslc-

When Commodore Vanderbilt was
runniSg steamboats,, he beat all rivals by
crowding on steam TO the utmost, and
even running down his enemy IL neces-
sary, to accomplish triumph. When he
went into railroading, he adopted much
shrewder and more successful way, by
uniting vast lines and their tributaries un-
der his own management, thus capturing
all rivals, by sharing with them the i'm
mense pool of profits that were made by
his skillful manipulation. Messrs. Law
renee & Co., Bankers, N. Y, accomplish
n much greater success in stock opera
tions by their new Combination Method
of dealing. BY this system the orders of
thousands of customers are pooled into
one vast sum and co-operated under the
most experienced management, thus CIV
ing to each shareholder all the benefits
of large capital aud best skill. Profits
divided monthly. Any amount from So

The Meat Ordinance.

The special committee 10 prepare an
ordinance regulating the sale of meat
upon the streets, have prepared one which
will doubtless be presented to City Coun-
Gil tomorrow evening. 1t provides that
any butcher residing in Wilmington, and
any person residing outside the city limits
who is not engaged in butchering, but
who desires TO sell the meat raised on his
own farm, may offer their meat for sale
in the street market, upon procuring a
license from the Mayor of Wilmington,
the price of said license TO be S. per
year. Persons residing outside of the
city desiring this license, are required to
swear or affirm that they are farmers,
and not engaged in buying cattle for the
purpose of slaughter, and that they will
offer for sale no meat except that raised on
their own farms. 1t is made the duty of
the Clerk of the Market to see that all
persons selling meat on the streets are
possessed of this license, and any person
selling without license shall be subject
to fine of $40. Should any farmer
swear falsely In relation to the meat he
sells, he would, of course, be liable to
prosecution for perjury.
This ordinance is generally acceptable
even the ciy butchers approving it, with
the exception that some of them desire
the city butchers to be prohibited from
selling meat in the street markets, leav-
ing them simply open to meat sold by
farmers. The committee, however, is
not in favor of making this distiction.
This bill will, however, not meet the
views of farmers, and the Council should
not adopt it.

PROPOSED COURT HOUSE SITE.

Now that Court House removal seems
almost an assured fact, people are Begin
ming to talk about the site for the propos-
ed new buildings. The reservoir lot, on
Market street, above Tenth, has been
generally spoken of as an available loca-
tion, bur people who argue that IL is too
far up town, argue that the city property
on Sixth street between Market and King
would be an elegant s te for the new
County buildings. BY rearing down the
building now occupied by the Treasurer,
Auditor and Street Commissioner, the
adjoining building occupied by the City
Tax Collectors and the Board of Educa-
tion, and also the Delaware Engine
house, there would be ample room for
the erection of buildings sufficient not
only for County purposes, but for the
accommodation Of the city officials whose
offices would thereby be torn down. The
only expense to the city, by this arrange
ment, would be the erection of a new
engine house for the Delaware S. F. E.
Company, while 1t would secure more
convenient and comfortable Offices for
the Treasurer. Auditor, Street Commits
soner and Tax Collectors. This plan
would also bring the new County offices,
City Hall, Police Station, Custom House
and Postofiice in close proximity to each
other. 1t is being generally talked of,
and seems to meet with more favor than
the reservoir location.

SKATING ON ARTIFICIAL ICE.

A skating-rink, Offering 10000 square
feet of artificial ice in one sheet is in sue
cessful operation in New York. The
protector, Mr.. Rankin, Is widely known
in connecti on with the ice trade, parti-
cularly In the West and South, where
his machine for producing ice are largely
used. His present enterprise Is notable
chiefly for its magnitude, the area OF ice
produced being very many times larger
than anything of the sort previously at
tempted. Something like nine miles of
gas piping are required for the clrcula-
ton Of the refrigerating liquid, which is
pumped through the pipes after having
had its temperature sufficiently reduced
in freezing chamber some 25O feet long
in which ice Is liqu,dfied by means of
salt ands other solids. The principle in
volved is simply that of the ice-cream
freezer. A tight floor was laid over a
surface 300 feet by 80 feet; on this floor
network of pipes was laid, and the
whole flooded by two or three inches of
water. On pumping the refrigerating
| fl aid through the pipes the water Is froz-
en- and kept so cold that the surface OF
the ice remains dry, through the atmos-
phere of the rink is warmed by half a
dozen large furnaces. The project might
have been carried out equally well and
| much more profitably at midsummer,
when skating rink would have been
more of novelty. Mr.. Rankin Informs
us that the refrigerating liquid is raised
but 10 degrees while ON its nine mile

NEW CASTLE LETTER.

New CASTLE, March u, 1870.
One case before the mayor, yesterday
morning, which he disposed of in very
few moments, and the culpr;t was advis-
ed to 60 and sin no more.
The condition of 9th street below
Washington avenue is disgrace to any
community, let alone city. The Socie-
ty for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
should send an agent to look after this
road. Yesterday horses even stuck with
half ton of coal.
Yesterday, the Collector from Christi
ana brought over man who refused to
pay his school tax. The sight of the
jail caused him to think better of the
matter pay up he did, and then started
to foot it home. The Collector called
him back, and gave him ride back in
the same vehicle that brought him to
New Castle.
The Court House removal does not
seem to arouse our people much, even a
telegram to the effect that the bill had
passed only caused some to raise their
heads and wonder why it was done.

AMUSEM ENTS.
The Ole Bull Concert at the Grand
Opera House

Opera House
The concert by Ole Bull, the renown
ed vlolinist, at the Grand Opera House,
last evening, was attended by q large and
cultivated audience.
The concert, throughout, was varied
and attractive, though the violinist, of
course, was the main attraction. He
presented himself to the audience at the
close of the first part of the programme,
an Old man, Whose sixty nine years had
made his once coaLblack hair as white
as the driven snow but had not in the
slightest degree impaired his delicate
touch, or his complete mastery over that
most wonderful Of instruments, the vio-
I'm. HIS selections were received with
the greatest enthusiasm by the audience,
and he was doubly encored at each ap-
pearance.
The singing of Mrs. Anna Granger
Dow was also feature of the concert,
her efforts being rapturously e,ecorcd.
Mrs. Dow was for several years the lead
Ing soprano OF Boston, land Is a thorough
ly cultivated artist. She was favorite
pupil of the famous French maestro,
Duprez, and of the no less renowned
Vanuccinl, Of Florence. She also studied
under Madame Rudersdorf, whose sue
cess in finishing dramatic singers Is we'll
known. Mrs, Dow's voice is pure So
prano of great volume and flexibility.-
Since her return from from Europe she
has sung in the oratorio performances
OF the B )ston Handel and HAYDN So
ciety, the Oratorio Society of New York
and IN concert with the New York Phil
| harmonic Society; with the Theodore
Thomas Orchestra, and other promin-
ent concert com bi nations, and has made
starring tour as leading prima donna
In English Opera.
The solos of Mr.. Oh. Fritsch were also
much admired. This deservedly popular
tenor possesses a voice of wonderful
power and extent of compass, and re-
with that accomplished vocal teacher,
Herr Ruehl of Frankfort-on-the-Ma M aine,
and later with Signor Errani and Mr..
Federlein In New York. His career has
been one continued success, until he has
come to be regarded as the most popular
tenor Of the day.
The cornet solos of Mr.. W. Northcott
were very successful, and the famous
accompanist Thomas A'Becket, Jr., ably
supported the other artists. Signor 2.
Ferranti, the buffo-basso, was unable
through illness, to appear In his part of
the programme.
The Granger-Dow Concert Combina-
ton, with whom the above artists lex
cepting Ole BHlD are connected, will give
grand concert in the Opera House In
few weeks.
wILEELMJ TONIGHT.
Another violipist of the worldwide
fame, Wilhelmj, will appear at the Opera
d ouse tonight. Those who heard Ole
Bull last night, should not fail to be pres
ent and compare the two. New York or
Philadelphia would be wild over such
an opportunity, and Wilmington should
not neglect it.
