Chalmers Reply 10 Biaine-H0p the
Democracy Won the Coiored Vote.
A CORES pondent at Washington says -
In to-dsy's Record will appear Mr..
Chalmers reply to the speech of MIR.
Blame referring to his district as a most
remarkable instance of the suppression
OF negro suffrage. He shows how the
Democracy won the negro vo' es and that
a split in the Republican ranks arose out
of the jealousy between the carpet-bag-
gers and negro leaders. The Democracy
took advantage of the spl t, and with
barbecues, brass bands, and professions
in red shirts captivated the negro. In
reply TO the charge that he was elected
by fraud, Mr.. Chalmers makes a sharp
allusion to the Mulligan letters. He
says the fifteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution repeals the fourteenth in this
way The fourteenth amendment left
to the States the power 10 exclude negro
suffrage; the hfteenth amendment takes
this power from the States and here
fore, the power being taken away, the
| reduction Of Representatives that was to
have followed the exercise OF this pow er
can not be made. Hence the letter of
the cOln1nlttee Daseu on tne fourteenth
amendment is worse than farce. Mr..
Chalmers denies the charge of fraud
and intimidation, but insists that ifevery
charge made against the South was true
he could fiud precedent in the past ac-
tion of the Republican party. Ballot
b OK stufling in the past he says, was a
Northern and not Southern accom-
plishment, and in the late elections for
| Senator in Connecticut and Wisconsin
there were more votes cast than members
present in the Legislatures. The Phari-
sees who thank God they are not like the
Rebels who intimidate negroes have in
tmdated half-.tarved clerks to obtain
money to be used on elections. They
see rebellion in solid South well band
ed together in self-defense, but see moth
ing TO fear from solid administration
gathering by assessments corruption
fund TO perpetuate its powers. They see
| rebellion In the red shirts Of Southern
Democrats, but see none in the Use Of
soldiers in blue at the polls aud the arrest
of voters by United States marshals.
They denounce individual violations Of
law in the South, but smile while the
administration is pros itutlng itself over
the machinery of law in partisan politi-
cal prosecutions.

WASHINGTON, u. c., March AZ 30
A. M.-Mess S. Window and Blaine

Beck announced that the Democrats

would not be passed without them.

IT APPEARS that Kent and Sussex
counties still delay paying their proper
ton Of the State tax to the State Treasu-
rer. This is not the way to do business.
If two of the partners of firm fail TO
pay its honest debts. the third, we know,
is liable for the whole; but in the case
of the three counties there is q difference.
New Castle, having already paid the
share assigned her, ought to be exempt
from paying any portion Of that which
Kent and Sussex ought to have paid
But will she With two-thirds repre-
sentation against her how can she helm
herself, if Kent and Sussex refuse or
wholly neglect to pay their share d? What
ever New Castle pays into the treasury
the members of Kent and Sussex NAV
vote out of it. New Castle county fur
nishes fully one-half of all money that
goes into the State Treasury, but has not
the power to take dollar Of it except
by the permission of Kent and Sussex.
That is the position New Castle county
has arrived at in consequence of the
more rapid increase in her population,
since the three counties started together
in 1892 with about an equal populal ion
in each and an equal representation.
We see no way open to escape from
the burden of the debt resting upon the
State; nor should there be any to escape
the proper proportiona,e rate of tax upon
each person. But their ought to be a
way in which each voter should have an
equal proportionate influence in the cls.
position Of the money which is paid istc
the State Treasury. This is not the case
now,

THERE CANNOT be doubt as to th

THERE CANNOT be a doubt as to the
propriety Of building the new County
Courthouse in Wilmington, If it is to
be built. But it is very questionable
whether the people should be taxed to
erect a new building for several years to
come.
The people of several of the lower
Hundreds are open in their expression OF
this matter aud unhesitatingly say the
new Courthouse should be built in Will
mington while those of Mill Creek.
Christiana and Brandywine advance the
same opinion, White Clay Greek also
tavors Wilmington as the location, leav-
lug part of st. Georges, Red Lion and
Pencader more or less opposed to the
removal Of the courts to this city. But
while this Is SO we find that the mass Of
all Of our people desire that the building
OF new Courthouse be deferred until
the times are better yet the minority
urge this as time when the work can be
done cheaper, and the doing of it viii
help to relieve the 'hard times W,
prefer to pay our debts before we make
new ones.

THE SUNDAY SESSION OF THE SENATE

THE SUNDAY SESSION or THE SENATE
AND HOUSE.
Both bouses of Congress have re main
ed in session, with brief intervals, since
Saturday morning, IN the eDdeavor to
settle the differences between them upon
the billslthat must be passed to avoid an
extra session.
The Senate remained in session from
Saturday evening until o'clock Sunday
morning, and then took recess until 2
O'Clock in the afternoon. IL remained in
session from that hour until 40 Monday
when recess was taken until o'clock
Moniay afternoon. During Saturday
night it completed the Sundry Civil Ap-
preparation hill, and then began the con-
sideration of the Legislative Appropria-
ton bill, which was disposed OF before
the recess was taken Sunday morning,
and these two measures were sent TO
conference committees for the adjust
ment of the difference between the two
houses. When the Senate resumed its
session Sunday afternoon, the River and
Harbor bill was taken up and dispos ed
OF during the night. The Senate then
voted to reconsider the vote by which
the bill making an appropriation to pay
arrears OF penson ms was passed, and the 4
reconsidered the vote by which the Mr.

The satire of "Pinaiore" besides being
applicable to the present, recalls the fact
that IN the seventeenth century it was
quite the habit to transfer officers from
the land service to the fleet without any
preparation. One of these was General
Monk, who had never been o sea in his
NE, and another was Prince Rupert Il e
famous cavalry leader Of Charles Is
llme, Robert Blake, second only to
Nelson himself, had been military com
mahdant at the siege of Taunton imme-
diSteiy before his appointment as Vice
admiral of the Channel feet, and Lord

to have his flag ship pointed out to him.

Captain William Jones, who has been
over to Caribou, brought back with him
a remarkable natural curiosity. 1t is a
section of stovewood sawed from a tree
about nine inches in diameter. In split
ting it Capt. Jones disclosed pine cone,
lmbedded in the wood, which, by the
pressure of the annual growth of the
wood, is as hard as adamant, and which
retains Its natural purple color. 1t was
evidently one OF the topmost cones when
the tree was very young. The stem of
the cone was caught by about the sixth
annual growth, and the rings of the
wood show that il gradually enveloped,
and had been finally hidden for over six
years before The axe Of the woodmar
gave it chance for resurrection.
