work 10 be Done.

II the Republicans desire to be vic
torious at the coming election in ou
State, they must have thorough or
ganization in every Hundred. They
must not rest satisfied with getting tn,
names Of the citizens placed on the as
sessment, but they must see that every
man pays his tax. They must also le
the Democrats know that every mai
who is qualified shall be protected a
the polls-that neither police officers o.
rowdies can frighten any one away o.
prevent him from performing his du
ty IS becomes good citizen. The
game of intimidation which has been
practiced 80 successfully in certain dis.
tricts, must be broken up. If need be
force must be met by force. The police
as well as other rowdies must be made
to understand that Republicans know
their rights and dare to maintain them
at every hazard. Repesters must not
be allowed to vote, even when cham
pioned by the Mayors police, as was
the case at the late election, aud the
blue coats must not come within the
limits prescribed by the law at their
peril. Neither shall inspectors be per-
mitted to thrust the vote into the bal
lot box when the voter is challenged,
and then Tweed like ask "what are YOU
going to do about it The question OF
legality must be determined before the
ti1ket is dropped into the box, or the
Inspector must be prosecuted whore
the law has not been complied with.
The collectors must also be watched 40 |
that fraudulent receipts shall not be
made out as they have been time and a.
gain by different parties, to enable Dam
ocrats to vote illegally and thwart the
wishes OF the qualified voters. We must
have honest and fair elections or test
the matter in the courts. Every viola.
tion of the law must be prosecuted and
If grand and petit jurors are not will
ing to perjure themselves in order to
shield their partizans, the villainy will
soon be broken up, and the purity Of
The ballot box will be insured. The
Republicans may then hope to elect
heir candidates to Office, but not until
hat end is reached. The price Of lib
,rty is eternal vigilance, and We hope
hat the good work now begun
will be persevered in until the right
hall triumph and the will of the peo
ole as expressed at the ballot box will
oe fully respected.

determine the Presidency. II the ma
jority was 5000 the Democratic con
science would find some way Of neutrali
zing 1t. II is noticed however that th,
contested election case Of Bisbee against
Hull in Florida ia allowed to slumbel
quietly, because Hull is Democrat
The means by which he was returned
to Congress were most fagrantly fraud
ulent. Hull himself is under indict
ment before the U. s. District court ol
Florida for altering returns. The Gov
error Of Florida Democrat, after he
had signed Hull's certificate Of election
tried to recall II when he found what
fraud had been practiced. The Supreme
Court Of the State also decided that
Hull was not elected, but with his GER
tificate Of election given under mis-
apprehension he is admitted to Congress
and there he remains, and will remain
to the end Of Congress, simply
because if justice was done and
Bisbee the Republican admitted,
the vote Of Florida in the
House for q Democratic candidate
would be lost. If the Democrats are
opposed to intimidations and fraud at
elections, and intend to make that the
basis for ousting Mr. Washburne, they
will find plenty of fraud and intimida-
tion in the Southern States that need
investigating. Other evidences are con-
tinually cropping out that this is to be
q campaign of fraud on the part of the
Democracy. Only few days ago bill
was introduced into Congress limiting
the time Of service of Chief Supervisors
of Elections to two years, and that the
.erms of all who hold that Office shall
expire on the first Of May. This bill is
% legislate Davenport, Of New York,
mt Of his office, and thereby pave the
way for the polling Of $4,000 illegal
'etes in that city. Another bill has
'een introduced securing election Off
'ers from arrest on the day Of election.
This means that when they are carry
ng Oh a wholesale system Ct concocted
raud they shall not be molested until
he fraud is fully committed. In Della
rare the State is to be kept in the
)smocratic fold by every effort in the
'ower of the Democrats to prevent a
ull and fair assessment of voters. All
hese facts and many more that might
'e adduced, show that the Republicans
Il over the Union during the coming
will have to contend against
he blackest avalanche of fraud the
democracy ever concocted.

A contemplate article in "Ever,
Evening"" of the llth inst, maligniD,
the Republican party this State, lead
US to say few words on the aim Of tn,
party, so far as our own State is con
cerned. We are in favor Of aboliahin,
the present assessment laws, which ar,
intended to disfranchise large portion
of the voting population of the State
and substituting registry and assess
ment law which will be source of reve
nue. to the State, and which will Civ,
every man an 0pportunitySSto become 8
voter. We are in favor of republican
form Of governm in which the rights
Of all shall be respected, while all shall
contribute their quota to the expenses
of the government.
We would hold every official to q
strict accountability, and allow no one
handling the public money to 20 OF
from year to year in arrears to the
county treasury.
We are in favor Of representation &C
eording to population, and think that
a man in New Castle county is as good,
and has as many rights as a man in
Kent or Sussex county.
The Democrats say that they are in a
majority in the State. Ifso, they are
entitled to its control. We only ask
that every Republican IS well as every
Democrat shall have right to rec ,rd
his ballot, and a fair count shall de-
eide.

SoMR FEW days ago our attention
having been called to a clause in the
city charter, which showed conclusive.
ly that Mr.. Allen was not legally elect
ed to the City Council from the Fifth
Ward, we wrote and published an edi.
!orial commenting upon the election,
showing that i: was clearly illegal &C
cording to the city charter. We were
not aware However at that time that the
city charter had been amended in 1872,
giving to Council the right to elsot one
of tue candidates voted for when
the vote cast in the Ward was
tie. Under these circumstances
Mr.. Allen was legally elected
by the City Council, no matter what il
legal means were made use Of in the
ward election when the vote was a tie.
Tne following from Section 4, chapter
Daily Republican., 1880-02-13

446, vol. Is, Delaware laws covers the
case. " II there be no choice for Mayor,
City Treasurer, president Of Council,
or for a member or members Of Council
in any Of the wards, by reason Of two
candidates having an equal and the
highest number Of votes for either Of
said Offices, the City Council shall pro-
ceed to elect one Of the said candidates
to such Office for which he is a eanii-
date"

The GazeIls ana Eaucatisn.
The Gazette" scared at the prospect
Of the Republicans carrying Delaware
has suddenly fallen in with the effort
being made in South Carolina, TO pass
bill making an educational qualifca.
tion for voting, because it thinks this
would prohibit large number Of the
colersd people from voting. Growing
warm over the subject 1t says at
may be necessary to enact such law
in Delaware. Certain it is that the
white people will not permit the State
to 80 under the control OF the negro
vote. Their own interests forbids such
a thing" However much the "Ga-
zstte favors the educational qualifca-
tion it says: "Property qualification
for suffrage is in our opinion a better
test for suffrage than education. But
both tests might be included in the
same law"
The luminous editor improving at
every step might have gone a little
farther, and advocated qualifca-
tions for vstiug, that would have
made it quite safe for the Democrats
hereafter. Always piously inclined he
might require everybody to attend
church on Sunday, or he might estab-
lish certain grade of character to
which all must attain before they can
vote.
We are not certain that an educa-
tional qualification fer voting in Della
ware would be to the advantage of the
Democrats, and We are rather surprised
that the Gazette" should favor dis
qualifying so many Of the members Of
its own party, especially in this city.
Owingto the impulse given to education
amongst the colored people, and no
thanks for It to the Democratic party,
scarcely any young colored man rov
arrives at votable age that cannet read
and write, while all through the State
there are white parents who never
send their children to school and con-
sequently they grow up in ignorance.
An educational qualification law in
Delaware cannot hurt the Republican =
party as the latter only exists through
he intelligence and patriotism of those !
who adhere to it.
Suppose the negroes do all vote the
Republican ticket In Delaware,
and they would be idiots If they
lid anything else, that is no reason the
State would be governed by the "igno-
rant negroes" The white Republicans ,
'wn most Of the property in the State, b
and are net far behind the Democrats
n numerical influence. The men who =
lave been elected to Office by the Re-
oublicans and that are likely to b.
Elected, are fully as intelligent as Dem +
'crats, and far exceed them in honesty.
his bugsboo will hardly scare anyone :
low. The white mans party has come 7
0 an igncminous end through the 4
Democrats seeking tho negro vote, and
ven now i. the negro vote were to 70
yer in body to the Democrats it
'ould be gladly received, and as a =
roof of what we say We append the
blowing invitation found at the COZ
usion Of the "Gazstte's" article to L
all" (black and white to join the
emocratic party;
"The ranks of the Democratic party
r. open to all who wish to have a share
its government, and all are invited Sa
share its privileges, and no man
led stand aside" &

Lee showed some emotion at this-a feeling
which | also sharei-and SAID il would nave
a most happy effect. The interview ended
and | gave orders for ratlonIng his troops.
The next day | net Lee on horseback and
we had a long talk. In that conversation L
urged upon Lee the wisdom OF ending the
war by the surrender Of the other armies. |
asked him to use his Influence with the peo-
pie OF the Suuth--an influence that was >u-
preme-to bring the war TO an end. Gen
eral Lee said that his campaign In Virginia
was the last organized resistance which the
South was capable Of making that | might
have march a good deal and encounter lso-
lated commands here and there but there
was no longer any army which could make =
stand, | told Lee that this fact only made
his responsibility greater, aud any further
war would be a crime. | asked him to 20
among the Southern people and use his in
fuence to have all men under arms surren-
der on the same terms given to the Army
of Northern Virginia. He replied that he
could not do so without consultation with
President Davis. | was sorry. | saw that
the Confederacy had gotten in reach Of
President Davis, and there was nothing that
could be done except whai Lee could do to
to get them home and nave our armies go
to their homes and fields. But Lee would
not move without Davis, and, as a matter
of fact, at that time, or soon after, Davis
was a fugitive in the woods.
GRANTS OPINION OF LEI
lice was of a slow, conservative, eau
tious nature, without, imagination or humor,
always the same, with grave dignity. |
never could see in his achievements what
~justifes his reputation. The illusion that
nothing but heavy odds beat him will not
stand the ultimate light of history. | know
it is not true. Lee was a good deal of
headquarters general desk general, from
what | can hear and from what his officers
say. He was almost too old for active ser
vice the best service in the field. At tho
time Of the surrender he was So or SO and
[ was 43.
His officers used to say that posed him
self. that he was retiring and exclusive, and
that his headquarters were difficult of access.
| remember when the commissioners came
through our lines to treat, just before the
surrender, that one of them remarked on
the great difference between our headquar-
ters and Lees. | always kept open house
at headquarters, so far as the army was con-
cerned.
My anxiety said the General, for some
time before Richmond fell was lest Lee
should abandon it. Ny pursuit Of Lee was
hazardous. | was in a position OF extreme
difficulty. You see [ was marching away
from my supplies, while Lee was falling back
on his supplies. If Lee had continued his
fight another day / should have had to
abandon the pursuit, fall back to Danville,
build the railroad and feed my army. So
far as supplies were concerned, | was al
most at my last gasp when the surrender
took pace. From j. b. Ioung's '4round
