RopE- WALKEEs.--Pcoplc in town on
Saturday enjoyed a really entertaining
and somewhat thrilling sight in the
tlght-ropc walking of Professor Dare
rather an appropriate name, by the by.
Stretching his rope from fourth-story
window of the Winnsboro Hotel to a
point opposite in the Beatty building,
he did his walking and balancing and
trapezo performance that high up in
the air. IIo is certainly no humbug.
Hc walks the ropo splcndldly, and his
trapczc performance is of tho finest
kind. After walking the rope in the
usual way, he hangs by his feet, fixing
them in loops on the rope, and walks
$50 to speak, in this up-sido-down
fashion.
On Monday there was another rope
walkor on hand, calling himself Frank
Stookcy. lie began by ovcrtopping
his predecessor In at least one par.icu-
lar, He stretched his rope from the
top Of thc Winnsboro Hotel toa point
opposite. His walking was not quite as
good as Dare's. Both these perform
ers depend for their compensation
upon collections takon up among the
| crowd OH hand.

Tng MARVIN Safe has been tested
again and came out victorious. II any
proof had been wanted to show that
this celebrated safe was fire proof, that
proof is more than supplied, in the re.
cent fire in Philadelphia at Fourth and
Race streets, where two OF these safes
containing 100000 worth of precious
stones consisting of canoes, onyx and
amethysts: also the books of the firm,
fell, from the fourth story of one Of the
buildings among burning oils, turpen-
tine, svarnish and paint, and after the
safes had been so hours red hot, the con.
tents were removed safely without in
jury. This is the testimony II. Muhr's
Sons given in favor of the Marvin
Safe; and we should say this was sufi
cient proof of their indestructibility,
and the certainty that they are capable
of preserving the richest treasures un-
harmed in the hottest fires.

Now THAT the Legislature las ad-

got Delaware College to bray at, he has
turned his attention to the building OF
the new Court House, and threatens to
get out an injunction if the site should
be fixed at either the old basin, or the
City Park. He gives the people Of
Wilmington to know that the people in
the lower part Of the county won't stand
any such nonsense. He,wants it located
at Front and Market streets. We would
advise Mr.. Townsend not to get excited
over the mater, for if the State would
build an insane asylum within any rea
sonable length OF time, We would b,

with him, and urge that it be built a

THE SECOND AsyIvEHsARY Of the Moral
Suasion Reform Association held last
evening is highly creditable to that ns-
sociaton. It shows that with them at least
their interest in the temperance cause
has exhibited no signs of tagging. A.
ter all that has been said against it,
there has been no Temperance Associa-
tion ever organized in this city that has
been so effective il reforming so many
former Incorporate men. The outpour.
ing of the people last night shows that
the Association still has the sympathy
of the people, and according to the re-
ports made by the officers it never was
in better cond ton than at present.
Much of the eff .ctiveness of the asso.
citation is due 10 the Ladies Aid, which
has taken great interest in it, as many
of the mothers, wives ard daughters Of
the reformed men ar, members Of the
Aid. The outpouring Of the people
last night in spite of the inclemrnt
weather is a meri'rd recognition Of the
effectiveness Of the association, and
will encourage the members to contin,
ue faithful to their pledges knowing
that they have the active sympathy OF
the public.

Houk Of Tennessee, one Of the three
Republicans yet left lin the South, in
= ringing speech the other day, said
that in all the Southern States that
were conquered there was still a Re-
publican majority, and that with free
elections they would drive from poweI
thu Southern bulldozing element. M
Houk stands almost alone Of the Re
publicans Of the South and he has the
courag to toll the nation at large thai
a majority Of the people Yf the South
are opposed to their present rulers, ,snd
that il farmers and freedmen were pro-
.eeted at the polls instead Of being
gagged and smothered to death, that
section would b as solidly Republican
as it is now solid for the defunct Rebel
Confederacy which is now called De-
moeracy. 1t is very mortifying tothink
that this is the only country nominally
a free one, that is ruled by violence, in
which q savage and cruel minority has
seized the control OF the nation and
tho majority Of the so-called Democrats
from the South have no more rights to
their seats than a band of usurpers and
outlaws. Truly our government seems
to have ceased to be "the land OF the
free and the home Of tho brave"

Murdered Nine Years Ago.

ton was attracted hy the ground Civ
ing way under a wheel. They investi.
gated the matter, and were Mortified
Oh removing the earth, to find a decay
ed human body, in refrigerator, the
top of which had become rotten and
given way under the weight OF the bug
~. The body has been identified by
the hairs as that of Emerson Stetson
son of o wealthy Chesterfield farmer
whodisappeared nine years ago and
has not been heard of since. Stetson
came TO town to collect pay for a pair OF
oxen. and when last seen was on his
way to the house of Theodosia Grant

A Washington dispatch to the Gin
cinnati Commercial Of the 18th,
states thss . gentleman travelling with
General Grant (John Russell Yoang,
most probably writes home that the
General says that he will not be can
didats for President under any circum-
stance. He Is aware that his name 10
freely used IN the American papers in
that connection, but not in way that
he thinks at present justifes him in
making public declaration Of his in
tentions. When the time comes, IS
this gentleman believes, he will decline
in such q way that there may be no
mistaking his meaning. The General
tells this gentleman that he does not
want to 70 enter public life, and that
he will decline q nomination to any
public Office, and that he will make his
intentions fully known upon his return
to America, but at present does Lot
wish to publicly decline that which
has not been authoritatively offered to
him. No doubt this is a correct represen-
tation Of the feelings Of General Grant
at the present time, and that it Is we'll
known that he has often expressed
himself as being tired OF public life,
but it is by no means certain that the
situation of affairs in this country may
be such that the General will be the
only sure man for the emergency. As
the Reading "Times and Dispatch ~
says, the nomination may be offered to
him with such spontaniety of feeling
that he will be compelled, out Of a
sense of duty and patriotism to accept.
General Grant, while he has fairly
sarned the right to have the rest and
The freedom from care that he desires

Chalmers wants u be vindieated

Chalmers, the hero of the Fort Pit
low massacre and now . member OF
Congress from q bull.dozed district in
Mississippi, has grown restive under
the charges made against him and with
the presumption that he is an innocent
man. he demands an Investigation in
to the charges made. OF course Chal,
mers knew he was safe in making the
demand, for Congress could not find
committees enough to whitewash the
characters Of all the Confederate Gener-
ais in Congress, and even if they could
they could not find time to do so In
the present Congress. The crime that
he and his associates perpetrated there
was one of the most brutal and afro
cious that is recorded in modern his
tory; and Democratic House OF Rep
resentatives scould have done Chal
mers no better service than 10 accede to
his request made yesterday for com
nittee Of seven to patch up some sort
of a vindicatioD. But no Congress-
ional committee can wipe out the facts.
There is huge mass of evidence in
existence some of it taken from men
who were wounded during the massa
ere and left for dead, to show that the
black soldiers were butcLered after
they had surrendered because they
were "nigsers," and that the white
soldiers were shot down because they
we're "fghting with niggers." The
evidence proves that Chalmers, who
was one of the commanders of the re-
bel assailants, was present during the
butcherv and assisted IN and directed
the work. Mr.. Greeley, in his ac-
count of the massacre, says: "lf hu-
man testimony ever did or ever can es.
tablish anything, then this is proved
case Of deliberate, wholesale massacre
of prisoners Of war, after they had sur
rendered-many of them long after
and for the naked reason that some Of
them were black and others were fight.
ing in black company" 1t is the
fashion now to whtewash rebels, but
Chalmers record is little to black
to be covered by ordinary effort.

is that the tro 'ps 10. 'n'y did not pre-
