The MrLroBp "News," refers to the
late election and argues from them that
the only hope the Democrats can
have of success in the next Presidential
contest rests on coalition with the
Nationals. By such combination,
the News" thinks with thorough
presentation to the people Of the ques
tions involved, the success of the Demo.
oracy is reasonably certain. Our down
State contemporary need not feel the
least alarmed or rejoiced either about
the success of the Democracy in 1880.
With or without a combination Of the
Democrats and Green hackers, the Re
publicans will elect their candidat-
with solid North and ifGeneral Grant
is the candidate he will carry two or
three Southern States in addition to
the solid North. This will be done to
save the nation from being plunged
into another civil war, and if :he
"News" is wise it will speedily leave
the unholy combination it has been fav'
oring and do good work once more in
defence of a united nation.

For THE TWO first years Of the exs-
tence Of the every Evening" as two
cent paper,it was urged for the support
Of the public upon the ground that it
was worth that amount, and at no time
could it be compared with the Zone
cent cheap, nasty papers, published in
the city. The same paper is now issued,
the same size, for a penny, and the
public are told that it has as much
news as ever for half the price. Under
these circumstances it is very plain
that the publishers for two years have
gouged the public out Of penny for
every paper sold more than it was
worth, or they are now gougiug the
stockholders out Of penny for every
paper sold. However this is none OF
our business. Ifthe "Bvery Evening
can stand it we can, but we cannot but
81 press q pity for it il it ever reaches a
circulation of 5000, as the REPUBLICAN
now has. The bigger the circulation
the greater must be the loss.

The Exodus OF rnE negroes from the
South to the West will make the South
more solidly Dem ratio, but it will de-
crease their representation in Con-
gress. 1t will make the West still
more solidly Republican and will in.
crease their representation in Congress
The Republicans can stand it il the
Democrats can. The South has itself tC
thank for the exodus Of its colored Ia
borers, to place where they can en-
10y real freedom. The blacks would
rather stay in the South if they were
allowed to enjoy their Constitutional
rights, but rather than stay where they
are cheated and butchered, they will

Turning the Tables.

Our readers will remember the arrest
in Philadelphia of S. Mclntir- Birbeck,
a music teacher, charged with commit
ting felonous assault upon Miss Julia
Dwyer, one Of his pupils. Birbeck
was sent to prison, but now some Of his
former pupils are taking an interest in
the matter, and they have concluded to
bring suit against the young lady and
her mother, charging them with an
attempt at blackmail. They allege that
the girl became mentally derang-d from
associating with spiritualists, and tie
assault existed only in her immagina-
tion.

THE LEVY CoURr Of Kent County by
its peculiar mode Of hnanoieriHg, sue
ceeded in finding an item Of s7Ooo to
Offset the tl4.00, which the county
owed the Stats. The quicksnsd con-
science Of Kent county revolted at the
idea Of cheatirg & the Stateo outof thswhoie
"a, 900, and so the Levy Court very
fort tauately stumbled upon an item ol
lust half that amount which they
claim that the State ewes the county
for collecting nearly 800, 900, more than
two years ago. Though the State Treas
ur.r had no credit Of that $1,000 and
the Treasurer Of Kent county had no
charge of it, it was all fixed up by the
Levy Court snd thus that much OF the
States claim was wiped cut. There is
still $1,000 of an item LEFT for future dis.
covsries to offset about the time the next
Legislature meets. Kent county must
have very loose way Of keeping &C
counts, when she can have such little
unforgottsn items as $1,000 lying
around loose, but there is no denying
the TACT that they come very handy to
offset State claims with. The rate OF
taxation in Kent County is fixed at
As cents on the 800, five cents more
than in New Castle. The debt Of the
county after considerable shearing has
been reduced to appear on paper at
SAG, 900, but it is said the floating deb.
will increase it to $50, 900. This with
the $1,000 trumped up against the
State would have made the debt Of the
county $4,000, or near about what
we said it was during the time OF the
meeting of the Legislature, when sena-
tor Saulsbury's boot black said We
lied; aud when tho correspondent OF
that truthful paper, the Every Even
ing" said there was $4,000 in the
Treasury of the county, For sharp
inanci.ring commend US to the Levy
Court Of Kent county.

Those WHO still hold Northern Pacific
first mortgage bonds have but short
time in which to exchange them for pre-
ferred stock in accordance with the
offer of the committee to so exchange.
Tho committee appointed some time
ago by majority of the bondho'ders
to effect such an arrangement has fixed
June 30, 1879, as a limit for tho ex.
change, after which date the bonds out
standing will legally have no money
value whatever. The preferred stock
issued will include all unpaid interest
from July l, 1873. This stock is now
worth $2S per share. The new compa
ny is said to be free from debt, has no
interest burden to meet, and is earning
a net revenue Of over a half millisn
dollars a year. The Office of the com
pany is No. %, Fifth Avenue, New
York. There are a great many persons
in Wilmington, New Castle and otLer
places hrouphout the State TO whom this

those who hold first mortgage bonds Of
the Pacific railroad will not let this

ing their bones for preferrei stock.

Cuttiug OTHis Fingers 10 Escape
Work.

In the pententiary, at Columbus,
Ohio, few days ago, convict named
R. D. Huntington, cut off three fingers
of his left hand to escape work. He
thought that the work was to difficult
for him. He laid his left hand on a
block, and with hatchet in his right
hand began chopping. The first blow
took off about half an inch from the last
three fingers. Again he struck, hewing
of some more of the fingers. Still
thinking that he had not taken off
enough, he slashed away again. At
this juncture the guard saw him.

CalvaPy's Tragedy.

Calvary's Tragedy.
Yesterday the thoughts Of all chris
tian men turned toward the Hill Of
Calvary. Whether the churches dc or
do not recall BY their services the scene
that vas enacted there nearly nineteen
hundred years ago, it is inevitable that
individuals who realize wh"t influence
that death upon the cross has had upon
the human race and its destinies, even
in material sense, should have an
impulse to revert, if only for moment,
to the incidents that marked 1t. Al.
though some should regard Christ as
having no higher nature than mere
human nature, 1t must be confessed
that he stands the central figure of the
most piteous tragedy that is recorded
in history. At the lowest estimate he
was the foremost man that has yet been
born into the world and his life was
the purest, the most benevolent, the
most exemplary, that any of the race
has ever lived. That such a man should
have been slain by order of one who
was the representative of justice was
monstrous crime, but that he should
have had to suffer death amid ignsminy
and unspeakable torture is a fact that
will excite for him the compassion Of
the just and tho good for all time to
come. 1t is his recompsnse, if he was
hut man, that the bitterness of his
sutferings and shame have given I'M
paralleled intensity to this affection
with which he is regarded by those who
accept him az their teacher. The most
potent spiritual force in the world to-
day is supplied from the spirit Of the
man who was crucifed. Yesterday,
eighteen hundred and seventy nine
years ago, was spent by the friends of
the cruciied Saviour in sorrow and
gloom. The day before, darkness had
covered the face OF the earth the rum
bling earthquake was heard the veil
OF the temple was rent in twain; the
graves opened and those that had been
dead walked through the streets Of Je-
rusaleln. Surely greater being than
man had been crucifed. There, in that
stone cave upon the hillside, was con-
tanned what to the loving Mary and
the disciples, wsre..b but the dead remains
OF him whom they hoped was to set up
kingdom at Jerusalem.
This was to them the day of sorrow
and dependency. Bat the three days
spoken of by Christ in which tho tenn
pie was to be built up again, had not
yet expired. Yesterday was the
most joyful anniversary Of all that had
been kept, for on that morning the wo.
men who were the last to linger at the
cross were the first to announce risen
Christ, and meeting with the object Of
their alteration, he tells them to 20
sd tell the disciples and Peter. 1t was
right and proper that Easter Sunday
should have a Joyous season to the chris
tiaa word, aid that the lovers Of Je-
sus should not only bring tho earliest
and brightest flowers Of spring to deck
the Savior's brow, but loving and obs.
dent hearts to be lail upon tls altal
of Sacrifice.

Twentv-One Years Old.

With this number we complete the
twenty-hrst volume of the HERALD.
Twenty-one years ago the senior editor
Issued the first number of this paper, and
has been connected with its publication
and its editorial department continuously
during its whole lifetime. 1t is now "of
age,'' but we do not expect it will be able
to make it's weekly visits to it's readers
unaided by industrious hands and think
ing heads. No county paper in the State
has appeared before the public with
greater regularity than the HERALD. No
publication day during It's lifetime OF
twenty-one years has made its weekly
round but the HERALD went to press and
paid its weekly visits to it's readers, and
its success has been the result of prompt
ness, industry (and we think we may say
without arrogating to ourselves unmer-
tied praise) careful management of edi-
torial columns, and, although the HER
AID has obtained it's majority, we expect
to continue our guardian care over its
future with all the watchfulness and in
terest that we have in the past years oi
its existence. And while we tender our
thanks to our patrons and readers for
past favOrs, we hope to merit q continu-
ance of their favors and to make new
friends for the HERALD. Next week we
will enter upon the Twenty-second year
of the HERALD's life.

General Grant.

There is a great deal said in the Demo
cratic newspapers about General Grants
being the nominee of the Republican
party for the Presidency. His nomina-
tion for that position depends altogether
on the behavior of the Confederate Gen
erals in the next session of Congress, If
the disunion spirit crops out threaten
ingly in Congress, Grant will, in all prob
ability, be the loyal candidate for the next
Presidency. We regard his nomination
as injudicious, except there should be an
emergency such as we have referred to
above. In that case Grant would be the
right man in the right place, unless Presi-
dent Hayes would consent to accept a
nomination for a second term. He has
evidence of possessing loyalty and nerve
enough to meet the demands of any
emergency that the rebel Generals in
Congress may create.

Death OF Senator Chandler.

Hon, Zachariah Chandler, United States
Senator from Michigan, died suddenly at
the Grand Pacific Hotel, in Chicago, on
Friday night last. He had been cam
paigning in Wisconsin, and was on his
way to his home in Michigan. He ad-
dressed meeting in Chicago Friday
evening. Before retiring for the night
he complained of indigestion. He was
found dead in his bed in the morning.
Physicians pronounced the cause of his
death sudden congestion of the lungs.
Mr.. Chandler was a native of New Hamp-
shire, and born in 1913. He entered the
United States Senate from Michigan in
1866, as a Republican, and served con-
tinuously until 1873, when he was sue
ceeded by Hon. Isaac P. Christiancy.
Last year the latter resigned, and Mr..
Chandler was appointed by the Governor
to fill the vacancy,
