THE WATTS TELEPHoNE.-W. o.
Watts, as will be seen by advertise
ment elsewhere, is in this city 10 intro
duce his patent telephone, and dispose
of the right to sell it in Delaware
This is said TO be the most simple,
complete and easily managed tele-
phone in the world. The cost is SO
much below that of the Edison that
in this particular the two bear no
comparison. A pair costs $50, and the
wire and erection 81 so per 100 feet
When once in operation the expense
ceases. 1t is the owners property with.
out further charge.
Mr.. Watts invites the business men
of Wilmington to call at the Office of
the Clerk of the City Council, where he
has erected a telephone, and see it
tested, and try it themselves. Its
working was witnessed yesterday af-
ternoon by number of gentlemen, to
whom its operation gave every salts
faction. The line extended from the
window of Clerk Frazer's Office over
the housetops and to the office of Mr..
Seminar, corner Sixth and Shipley
streets. Between these points CONVEX
sation was held with ne. The sound
of the voice was distinct, and whether
uttered loudly or in a whisper was
quickly understood. The notes of the
cornet sounded as delightfully."- in the
Last Rose of Summer, the 'Suwannee
River, the "Star Spangled Banner"
or "Dixie's Land" as though it had
been in the presence of the gratified
listeners. The thing seemed to work
SO practically that no fault could be
found with it for the transmission of
sentences; and for an alarm we are
confident coul d hardly be excelled.-
ltapping upon it at one end made a
noise as loud as the beating upon a
door of your chamber with a mallet,
and the sound is not unlike that. 70
"a business man, who desires frequent
messages between separate places, this
telephone, when once become accus-
toned to would seem to be indispensa-

come when such instruments will be in

meet the various buildings and shops

JOINED TEE REBELs".- There were
some remarkable features In the great
Democratic meeting In New York ON
Thursday night.
Delaware was highly honored in CIV
ing to Senator Bayard the opportunity
of making the leading argument, which
received great applause. Daniel
DouSherty, Esq, of Philadelphia, who
nominated Gen. Hancock, at the Gin
cinnati Convention, and is favorite
in Wilmington, opened the meeting
with beautiful and eloquent outburst,
closing with a scathing arraignment
of the Republican party, which with
Col. Forney and others, he had but re-
Gently abandoned. During the even
ing speech was made by Major Gen.
eral Daniel L, Sicklss, who came to
his door on crutches, having been
wounded at Gettysburg, and in an elo-
quent address announced that he had
concluded to support his old comman-
der in the war, General Hancock.
General Sickies has but lately returned
from abroadwhere he had been sent as
foreign Minister by General Grant. OF
course General Sickles will at once be
charged with having Joined the rebels.
But it is not often that a meeting is
addressed by two distinguished Gen.
erals both on crutches. Such was the
case in New York. General Wade
Hampton having surprised his friends
by his presence made an eloquent
speech at Fifteenth and Broadway.
These heroic men represented different
parts Of our country but are now both
working for the same cause, and their
speeches sound singularly alike. Both
we're eminent and distinguished before
the war and their language and con-
duct now shows that their hearts arc
deeply in the work of cementing the
Union and making it more thoroughly
united than ever. These brief speeches
and the letters Of Mr.. Tilden. Gen.
Mcclellan, Mr.. Pendleton and others
will be found elsewhere. Read and
reflect upon them.

Mr.. CoNKLING, in a letter to the
UdUkeye, Celebrates somewhat on
one of the pronounced ideas of that
last greatest effort gotten off a few
nights ago in New York-an effort.
by the way, which, we regret to
note, is not being appreciated as it
might have been. This idea is that
the basis of suffrage ought to be the
interest at stake in the community
and not mere number. Mr.. Conk-
ling argues that government is a
business arrangement good deal
like stock company, and that it is
not fair that the holder Of but one
share of stock should have as much
voice in controlling the concern as
the holder Of, let us say, thousand
shares. The argument is not new
in fact, it has been a favorite one
south of Mason and Dixon's line.
But the idea embodied in it is new
in Republican connections, and, this
being the case, we wish that the
New York Senator had gone farther
than he did in the way of explana-
ton of the practical application.
We wish, for instance, that he had
explained what, in event of this idea
being worked out to its logical con-
clusion, would become of the Repub-
licau claim on the vote of the
American citizen of African descent
whom, like the poor of Scriptures.
we have always with us. 1t may be
however, that Mr.. Conkling has
worked himself into the belief that
negro suffrage is not what it was
cracked up TO be fifteen years ago.
