ErERYBoDY must admit that r-sump-
ion has been a success 80 far. United
States and National Bank potes have
been kept at par with gold for whole
month, with no signs of a break OF de-
cline in their face value. Silver Is
gradually finding its way into the peck
cts of the people, and taking the place
of one and two dollar notes and frac,
.ti,nal curr-ncy-tLe latter being al
rnost entirely withdrawn from circula-
niW. There seems to be no reason why
the present state of things should not
continue indefinitely, and why resump-
ton should not be complete success.
Horace Greeley ussd to say that 1.-THE
way to resumption was to resume, "
and the result so far proves that he was
right. Gold, treasury notes, and sill
,yer, il made receiv able for Govern
faent dues as their face value, must ne
cessary be held Of equal value by the
business community and the people

can readily be- maintained, as most per

BEET FOR ENGLAND.-TEe Philad-l-
phia Times says, it is not probable that
any serious interruption to American
shipme hts of cattle on the boot will re-
suit frem the English Order in Council
recently promulgated, though it is not
unlike that American spectators will
endeavor to use the order as the basis of
bear movement, and that in England
it will be used, conversely, to bull
prices. The suggestion made by the
Liverpool dealers that an abattoir be
constl acted in close proximity to the
docks, and that cattle arriving shall be
slausn .erel unler the inspection of
SAINT .t...,.s, seems to meet the re-
duirements of the order and at the same
time 10 provide for the unimpeded flow
Of trad. Probably this suggestion will
he acted upon il it is rejected some
other equally feasible plan will be evo!
we'd fol bringing American cattle int"
British ports, thereafter to figure III
the guise and similitnd- of the roast
beef of Old England. The facts of the
case az such that the trade must con-
tinu- it cannot be broken down. The
native supply of cattle is wholly made
quate TO the demand, and the supply
yearly is decreasing-as foreign compe,
it"o ,-rl' down prices and makes cat
tle-raising in England less and less re
nun-rative, and, consequently, less
and less engaged in. The English peo-
pie must nave their beef, and the laws
of trade and of common sense will make
them buy it in the market where they
can get the best . article for the least
monpy-tnat is to say, in America.

Cost Of Collecting Taxes.

New Castle County vas taxed say in
round numbers Sl4j, 900 for 1873, and
to collect hat AK there are twelve col
isctoss. At six per cent the amount
allowed by law, it takes as 700, t" rol
Isct the Sl45, 600. In Wilmington there
are two collectors having s12.OO to
collect which at six per eel; would pay
them 1920 or $3.50 each. This
would oaly leave s4,3 TO be divided
-a,uong.t the ten collectors outside OF
" Darlington. Aavbody can See that
szione Of them can make much out Of ii
and according to the way the plan to-
collection os .AX-- 10 n.W arranged II
takes very ntt.- tim. t" Il" AL the law
requires. Five days are r. ally all the
time that the Jaw requires to be spent
and then by going to a hotel or some
other public place and sit down and
wait for the property holders to drop
in and settle up. The question is coul'l

and thereby stv- ,ot.- county S2,5Oe,

BY the same pairing down process the
collectors OF Wilmington could get
along very suugly on four per cent Of
the taxes collect, 4 instead of six As at
present. This would allow a salary of
over sl4O0 for each OF the collectors,
srd the plan would saw. to the County
about - 800. No doubt the old plan
would bs thu best provided everybody
was ass-ssed and if the ,Oil, csor was re-

There is too much toadylng to wealth,

An,NauIuinAink'n Tax es.

What Jan be tn. matter with Appoqui-
uimink Hundred According to the re-
port Of william Herbert, County Treas
urer, of q, 14S Al Of taxes assessed only
1911 As had been paid in. This Is only
q little over twelve pr cent. OF the
amount Of AK ass. ,sra 20 the Hundred,
while all the other collectors hay" paid
in a lair proportion. A iit!le over on
third Of the tax in Bla kbiri has l~"n
collected: nearly one thrrd in st. deor-
yes and Rel Lion; one hallin Pencader;
two thirds in New Castle three hfshs
in White Clay Creek over one half in
Mill Creek two thirds in Christiana !;
tire. foartus III Brandy "ine, and III
Wilmington only $4,000 out of s72, 600
Assessed, remains to be collected. This
cursory glance over the field shows that
something mus. te wrong down in AP-
poquinimink, despite the influence OF
honest Samup! Townsend. Perhaps the
collec ,r llay maze bren too busy with
his peach ~ tend 10
such small matters AS the collection OF
taxes, and perhaps in the winter he
may have had the ''ruuatiz" so badly
tina, he couldn't stump around very
lively We wouldn't for moment in
innate that there was any crooked
ness" down there. Oh, no, perish the
thought. Democratic office holders Of
New Castle county ARE all honest.
Whall Anything wrong down i'll Ap-
poo uinimiDk, right under the shadow
of Sam Tow ascend Preposterous idea,
il cannot 10. but there are the fix urts
the County Treasurer gives Us, and
they arc very suggestive.
No matter though, whether the taxes
Of Appoquinimink are ever paid or not,
the u ..tel riGed and unwashed Democ-
racy of that Hundred will all be- at the
polls next election, each with bona
6de receipt for himself and twoo three
others for 4 ueighbor, who may not se
so lucky as to have any, providing such
nsigsbo will vote the Democratic tick
Ut. Old App. and Blackbird, her
young neighbor, are always on hand
when three or four hundred Democratic
majority is waited from those Hun
dre,ls, but they never did take natural
ly to paying taxes. OF course, nobody
expects that the taxes are nearly all to
b. collected, for II they were then the
Republicans might come into power,
but nobody expected to See such a bad
shown. in Appoquinimnk. Now is
the time for Mr.. Townsend to rise and
explain.
BY the way, in referring to Mr.. Her
bert's statement We find tha-e are 81,
231.2 of the tax OF Appoqainimink
unpaid tor the year 1876, and ~, 1885, AS
in Blaeh bird for the same year. This
wonll make total OF "a, 1863 from
these two Hundreds due the county for
1876, nicii, added to the nncollect-d
taxes Of 1858 OF the same Hundreds,
would make total Of Sl0,25l.eS due
the coauty. Let us see what the Levy
Court viii do in this matter, or will
they keep thos lower Hundreds to roll
up Democia,ic Inajoriti's while the Re-
public III property holders pay the
taxes.

ELSEWHERE To DAY W. publish the
State Auditors report of the receipts
and expenditures of the State for 1878.
II will be seen from that report that
Ken. County owes the Stat Sl2,OO0 IN
State tax,s, and Sussex County owes
sl4 900. That New Castle has paid over
her full complement OF State taxes is in
tsrrrd, from the TACT that there il no
report Of her owing anything to the
Stst-. This is certainly bad showing
for Kent and Sussex as il appears on
paper, and is reflection upon tho col.
l.ctors of those counties. $4,000 is a
large amount to owe the State from til.
two lower counties, after tho year in
which /. should have been collected has
expired. Perhaps some explanation
Gan be offered to justify this apparent
delinquency, and if there can, it should
be offered Immediately, as the credit Of
the lower part Of the State suffers by
