Guilty Is thus Insured and the warlike
preparations of Mr.. Blaine and his

necessary.-Kent Netos, (Dem.)
Whether the Council has been guilty
OF any fraud remains TO be seen. Gov.
Garcel"D is man who has been uni
yersally respected, and he declares most
positively that the Council only adhered
TO the law and constitution In canvass

submitted, mis- word is entitled TO cred

SUSSEX Journal, (Dem.)
The Republicans under the lead of
Senator Blaine and the New York Tri-
oune have been trying hard TO frighten
Governo Garcelon and the other officials
of the State, and make them back down
from what they call their "steal of the
State" but 1t appears that the Governor
don't scare much. He quietly made ar
rangements TO collect the State militia
at the capital to protect the legislature,
and as much as said TO Blaine, "now
come on DiH your mob against The con-
stjtuted authorities, and zoe cM give
you a belly full of It," James has not
come, and the big below has now come
down to low moan Of desperate grief.
Next Wednesday ends the agony, and
the legislature will probably be orgin-
ized without strife.-Mtyord Ne,os,

THE CASES THAT HAVE BEEN DIsPos
ED OF by THE MAYOR.
The following cases have been dis
posed of by Mayor Almond, since Sat
urday morning:
William Ewing for being drunk and
d'sorderly was required to pay 81 and
costs.
Lewis Smith was committed to New
Castle for term of sixty days as a vag-
rant.
For being drunk and disorderly
Dennls Conner was required to pay
costs.
owen Hannah was next arraigned on
the charge of being drunk and using
threatening and abusive language tow
ard Matthew and Emma Caldwell, for
which ofienses he was REQUIRED to pay
W and costs, and furnish 800 bail 10
keep the peace.
Emory Deacon and Jacob Trusty
were each required TO pay So and costs
for disorderly conduct.
VIM. Fisher, David Fisher and Geo.
Brown were charged by Benjamin Lock-
man, with committing an assault and
battery upon him. From the evidence
IL was proven that Lockman was the
aggressor, and the charge was dismissed
and Lockman was locked up for a hear
ing on the charge of creating disturb
ance In the neIghborhood.

using threatening language, was requir-
ed to pay costs and 500 bail TO keep the
peace.
Joseph Welsh and Philip Murphy for
disorderly conduct at Front and West
streets, were required to pay costs and
$loO bail to keep the peace. 1t seems
that for some time past number of

eating at Front and Vests streets, and
insulting citizens who pass there. The
Mayor is determined to break up the
practice, and will issue warrants on the
complaint of any citiz-n.
For being disorderly, John Montgom-
gomery was required to pay costs.
This morning Benjamin Lockman,
col, was arraigned and charged by his

A Shooting Afray.

A VICIOUS NEGRO TRIES TO SHOOT A
WHITE MAN AND GETS SHOT HIM
SELF.
About o'clock, yesterday afternoon,
VIM. Newkirk, foreman to the late Benz.
>. Booth, called upon Sheriff Pyle, at
New Castle, and said he had shot col
ored man named George Dorshields.
The Sheriff locked Newkirk up, and at
once repaired TO the Booth farm, where
he f3und Dorshiels suffering from a few
shot wounds. The wounded man was
examined by DR.. Stewart, aud was
taken to the Jail at New Castle about 7
o'clock in the evening. Esquire Frank
L. Richardson was sent for and States
Attorney, Geo. Gray, Esq, gave the mat
Ter his attention.
VIM. Newkirk being sworn said -
This morning had turned my stock out
to water, and as | was returning from
the carriage house | saw George Dor
shiels driving them up; told him to
leave them alone he began swearing
and drew his pistol ran and be shot /;
was I'D or 10 feet away from him /
went into the house, locked it up, and
again went out on the porch to see
where George had gone; as l looked
around corner he shot again !; then
told my son, "Will," to run over to Mr..
Morrison's and ask him to go into New
Castle and have George arrested; l did
this because thought it unsafe to leave
my wife and children; my boy had not
got far when called him back and went
myself.
Will Newkirk, son of the previous
witness, corroborated his fathers state
ment.
DR.. j. j. Black said that some time
ago the late Behj. s. Booth called his
attention TO this negro, George Dorsheils,
and said he was prowling around in a
suspicious manner. Afterwards the
negro was placed in Jail, when the Doc
tor made second examination, which
satisfied him the man was insane. He
was then sent TO the Almsheuse, but left
there several days ago, aud returned to
his work OIL the Booth farm.
The negro's wounds are not serious,
and he will doubtless be as well as ever
in few days. 1t is not likely, in view
OF the circumstances of the case, that it
will find its way to Court.

SENATOR BECK AFTER THE FIRST Ma
TIoNAL BANK OF NEW YORK.

SENATOR BECK AFTER THE FIRST MA
TIoNAL BANK OF NEW YORK.
WASHINGTON, Jauary 4.-Secretary
Sherman's pet bank, the First National
of New York, is in a fair way to
be investigated again. Senator Beck 8
attention has been attracted by the re-
port of the remarkable financial success
of that institution during the past year,
and he has determined to find out, if he
can, something of the relations which
exist between that baik and the Trea-
sury Department. The report of the
bank on its condition for the year 1879
shows that during that thine it has paid
l20 per cent. of dividends and has car
ried 100000 to its surplus account, and,
in addition, it has on hand an undivided
surplus of $267,700.
The capital stock of the bank is $500,
900, and its profits during the past year
have BEEN over 260 per cent. Senator
Beck, in commenting on this to-day
said "In my judgment it is impossible
that any bank or bank or banking insti
tuition can have made such vast amount
of money on such a capital. The reDort
shows that the bank has made an actual
profit during the year of over 81 200, 900.
Its capital is only half a million, and it
is, in my judgment, simply an imposs
bihty thatSl 200 900 can have been made
in any year on capital of 100000 in
legitimate banking business. 1 have no
manner OF doubt that by far the larger
of that 81 ,200,O00 of profit is
Government money-that is, money
which the bank has received from the
Government in the course of It's transao
tlons with the Government in connec
ton with its placing of the 4 per cent.
bonds, and l think Congress and the
country ought to Anow how much the
Government has paid to this hank for the |
business which it has done for she Gov |
ernment during the past year.

A Mermaid at Leces.

The following story comes from
Lewes, and is related by the Light OF
that place:
"on Tuesday of this week Captain
Raymond, keeper of Life Saving station
No. 3, found on the beach what he sup
posed to be mermaid, which had been
washed up from the sea. 1t was dead
when it come on the beach and in a
slight stage Of puterfaction. Captain
Raymond describes it as being about the
size of an ordinary SIX year old boy and
to the waist or middle of the body
resembled boy in every particular. lie
says that its head, face, neck, arms ard
bust, as well as its hair, was perfect in
appearance to that OF human being.
There were no fingers on the hands, but
a coarse, moppy hair, like the frizzled
end OF a whalebone, supplied their place.
The lower portion of the body fiom the
middle or waist downward resembled
that Of shark, the tail being covered
with hairy substance similar to thai
on the hands"
