THE REPUBLICAN SCRAMBLE ALREADY
COMMENCED.

THE REPUBLICAN SCRAMBLE ALREADY
COMMENCED.
The GAZETTE told the true reason for
the bitter quarrel among the Delaware
Republicans at their recent State Con-
ven tion, when it designated it as dis
gusting quarrel for official spoils. 1t also
stated at the time that the first battle
would be over the successOrship TO Lewis
Thompson. Collector of the port, whose
term expired on the 18th, and that Harry
w. Cannon, the big editor OF the Dover
Sentinel, would be an applicant for the
position.
These assertions have all proved true.
Mr., Cannon has been in Washington
nearly all of the present week, pressing
his claims upon the President and Sec
retary of the Navy, and has been aided
by his dear friends and old hdbitues Of
the National capital Judge Fisher and
ex-CanRressmau Lofland. This. is tn etirst
instalment of the figh. for Federal patron
age, and it hard to tell now how it will
and, though Mr.. Thomson, apparently,
has the inside track.

Decorators of Tombstones.

For some time past a number of
boys have been in the habit of climb
ing into the marble yard of Davidson
81 Bro, corner of Fifth and King Sts.
and defacing the tombstones.
A few evenings ago, they got in and
defaced one of the stones that had
been prepared for a customer, by
breaking off number of the raised
letters. Last evening they again Wis
tied the yard, and defaced a number
of the stones in various ways. Thus
far the firm have been unable to learn
who the culprits are, but should they
be apprehended, the full penalty of the
law should be meted out to them
The firm has thus far lost considerable
by their depredations.

HOW THE VIRGINIA DELEGATION 10
BRuKEN UP.

Ons of the most influential members
or the Virginia delegation To the Chi
caRo Convention made an Interesting
statement to. a New York Tribune cor-
respondent. He said he had been
elected as Grant man, and that his
personal preference was for Grant, but
ne now believed it was unwise to nomi-
nate him. He said that he felt bound by
the Instructions Of his convention to
vote on the first ballot for Grant, but
would be bound no longer. He knew
or Twelve delegates from Virginia who
Wonld not be bound by the Instructions.
Eight or them, he believed, would vote
On the first ballot for Sherman and four
Tor Blame. The course of the remain
der after the first ballot would BE-
guided by circumstances. This gentle
man said Grants strength in Virginia
grew out of the memory of his fair
dealing and lenieDcy at Appomattox,
but he did not believe he would carry
Virgi mia or any other Southern State.
while the risk to be incurred in the
North by putting him in nomination
was proved by the event in Cook county
to be very great. --4-.,--

The 1.-TWO Orphans"
Our amusement loving citizens
should not forget that ON Tuesday
evening next the celebrated drama of
the "Two Orphans" will be presented
at the Opera House by a company of
well known artists under the manage
ment of John ID. Mishler. In speak
ing of the play the Daily Graphic,
New York, says editorially
"Were some of the clergymen who
denounce the theatre to witness such
a play as that of the "rwo Orphans"
they could not avoid modifying their
opinions. Though French in its origin,
the play is so thoroughly wholesome
in its tone, and breaches so powerful
a sermon against vice that its intlu-
ence must be altogether good"
Forest FIRE In Cecil.
On Thursday morning, fire broke
out in large tract of woodland owned
by George p. Whitaker, located about
two and one half miles west of Charles
town, Cecil county, Md. The high
wind that prevailed caused the fire to
travel rapidly, and it was found neces-
sary to fire small tracts in advance of
the advancing line, in order to preven
the spread. The fire, before it could be
stopped, spread over length of four
miles, and Consumed about one thou
sand acres of timber and several hun
dred cords of cut wood. Nearly all the
timber destroyed was owned by George
p. Whitaker, whose loss will probably
amount to $4,000.
