We could not give the returns from our
State last week because we could not get
dispatch through until our paper was is-
sued. New Castle county was carried by
the Republicans and Kent and Sussex by
the Democrats. This is the first time the
Republicans have succeeded in the first
named county since 1872, the county
ticket falling behind the electoral by 14l
votes. In accounting for this difference
the Newark Ledger says:
"The secret is not hard to find. Fair.
minded men are becoming tired of the in
tense partisanship of our State and County
administrations, and but for the desire to
retain Senator Bayard in his place, we
believe the Republicans would to-day have
had a majority of the members elect 10
the Legislature. The assessment law is
not defensible on any ground except that
OF party advantage, and this is not a valid
defence with that class of people who
esteem the welfare of the community
above that of any party; and who fortu
nately hold the balance of power. Let ou
Democratic friends about face and en-
deavor to secure the interest Of the Who'll,
people regardless of party, and they viii
find that in so doing they will best serV'
themselves. The last Legislature accom-
plished nothing for the good Of the State
] n the one Just elected we trust the Demo
Gratis and Republicans will vie with eacl
other in proposing measures looking to tn
progress and development of our it'll
Commonwealth"

TIE Cecil Democrat which fought strong
and vigorous fight (but confessed weak.
mess by getting down frequently in the
mud puddlel thus sounds the tocsin for
for 1884.
Robert E. Pattison (Democratl was cleo
Comptroller of the Philadelphia Treasury
last Tuesday by majority of about $4,000,
in face of a general Republican majority
Of about $4,000. Pattison seems to be in.
vincible, and we nominate him for the
Presidency in 1884" , e.
Four years is long time to set eggs for a
successful Matching, but il does credit to
the editor to be looking ahead to the best
men, il that is the motive rather than the
popularity. Mr.. Pattison, son Of the late
DIR. Pattison of the Philadelphia M. E.
Conferences, was found to dispense the du-
ties of the Office with strict integrity. The
Republicans finding in him capable and
impartial officer, and though having &
candidate themselves who was unobiec
tionable, determined TO compliment anc
reward him for his faithfainess to trust b,
returning him for another term. The Re
publicans of Philadelphia showed that the,
were not under ring rule, recognized
honesty and reward it. But on Nationa
issues they judge principles and platform
as they do men, and the Democrat, if i
wants Mr.. Pattison for President mus
present him on basis as square as was tn
issue in the local contest.

The vote everywhere shows that Gen.
Hancock was strong candidate, leading
the local candidates in most of the States.
Yet it was impossible with the popular i'm
pulse with which his name was hailed to
pull him through. Why this reversal of
the sweeping tide of victories of four years
ago? The extra session of Congress must
be looked to as the instrument that turned
the current of affairs. President Hayes
gave the South one of the Cabinet officers,
withdrew the troops, and offered them the
hand of Cancellation in opposition to the
stalwarts of his own party. The more he
offered the more arrogant they became +;
the appropriation bills were attacked, his
title to the Presidency questioned, bills
were introduced opposing resumption, to
impair the efficiency of the National Banks
and many other things that under the cry
of "Tilden and reform" had brought an
army of independent voters to the party.
These independent voters are always
potential when aroused in great national
contest. They got frightened at POSSIBLE
ties that might happen should there be no
balance wheel. President Hayes was forced
to take shelter under the wings of the stall
warts, the party unified as not before since
1860, and this with the business scare over
the word "only" in the Democratic plat
form, defeated Gen. Hancock.

The papers everywhere have had much
to say about Mr.. Hughes a prominent
Englishman and his large colony OF Eng
Flishmen which he is establishing in Ten
nessee. One of the fundamental princi-
ples on which the Tennessee colony OF
Rugby was founded is that there shall be
no liquor saloon in the place. But about
the first thing Mr. Hughes found, after his
arrival, was a couple of Tsnnesseans who
had squatted on piece of ground with an
Involved title, and opened a dram-shop
How to get rid of these most unwelcomt
/ Of all intruders was puzzle, until the
happy expedient was hit upon of building
schoolhouse next door, and opening
school. Then. under the State law, thu
discounted natives we're obliged to pacl
their liquors and move away, and Rugby j
now a teetotallers' town.

A WOMAN ATTACKED BY Crazy MAN.
Sister Gertrude Verona, a member of the
Protestant Episcopal Sisterhood of st. John
Baptist, was assailed on Sunday as she was
returning from her duties among the poor,
by man who apparently was insane. He
fired six shots at the defenceless woman as
she approached the entrance of her home,
in New York city, and four of them took
effect. One wound in her back was con.
sidered dangerous. The man was arrested
while walking away from the scene of the
attack; but he did not seek to escape.

TIE arrivals of foreign gold last week
were s6,64O, 399, the largest yet recorded in
the same space of time. This brings the
receipts up to s46,54O,S2S since January l.
against $55,5l9,OS2 last year, and makes a
good showing of the most satisfactory
character as to the business prosperity of
the country. This gold comes in large
part to pay for the breadstufs which
Europe is compelled to buy from us through
short crops at home, and of which we
have, fortunately, plenty of surplus to sup
ply any demand that may be made.

Delaware for Bayard," "Delaware true
to Rayard," &c. 1t was a demonstration of
the more loyal of Mr.. Bayard's friends at
the prospect of his being returned six
years more to the U. s. Senate. The last
campaign was campaign of surprises
leaving so many men at home who had
not expected 1t, that there was natural re.

Of Mr.. Bayard and who was the moving spirit
in this demonstration in honor of the
