Republican Plans.
A LITTLE TALK IN WHICH SOME
THINGS ARE FREELY TOLD.

LITTLE TALK IN WHICH SOME
THINGS ARE FREELY TOLD.
A GAZETTE reporter met gentle
man, who is leader in the Republi.
can party, yesterday, and asked him
who who he e thought his party would nomi-
Moore, of Georgetown, of course, 1"
he answered, "and I'll tell you the
reasons He is popular in all parts of
the State he is man of undoubted
ability, and could fill the position ac-
ceptably, and would be candidate on
whom all could unite with unanimity.
Further than this, he is from the right
county, which is a good thing for a
Congressional candidate in Delaware"
"How is that ?" "I'll tell you the
counties that are likely to go Republi-
can, Of course, will have the voice of
the convention, and the party leaders
generally consider that of the two
counties Sussex is the more likely TO
be carried, while the fight in Kent
will be almost hopeless one. Even
If Kent did go Republican with Sus-
sex they would have no cause to COM
plain at not getting the Congress-
| man."
"would not N. B. Smithers, Esq 9,
of Dover, be urged by his friends for
the nomination
"NOt strenuously, I think. You
see there is disposition there to send
Mr.. Smithers to the Senate, in case
New Castle county does not furnish
the nominee. Kent is likely to be
satisfied this time quite easily on ac-
count of previous preferences. Lof-
land went to Congress for two years
from there and was nominated again,
and DR.. Jump got the nomination for
Governor"
You spoke of the Senatorial nomi-
nation just now, tell me about that ?"
"Well, there is not much to tell.
If the State is carried by our party
this year New Castle county will
naturally feel somewhat important,
having commenced the active work
and been the opening wedge, so to
speak. / think the county would
claim the Senator, and the opinion is
that Anthony Higgins, Esq, would
be the one on whom Senator Bayard's
mantle would fall"
Are you not sLgntIy overlooking
the great strength of Mr.. Smithers p
"Oh, not at all, "a little dubiously,)
he is an exceeding able man, and
probably the most Intelligent in the
State. But deep impression exists
in Mr.. Higgins favor, and, mark my
words, if the party carries the Stat G,
hs will be elf fcted."
"H. Conrad, Esq, the editor of the
new proposed Republican daily, is
talked of for Congress, is he not ?"
II don't think he is, very much.
Mr.. Conrad stands high in the party,
but while his ability is admitted, he is
looked upon as rather young. But !
do not think that he himself is am
bilious of running for Congress in the
near future"

Levy Court Commissioners to be
chosen at the general election next
November are five in number, and al
ready there is talk about candidates.
True, the election is more than nine
months away yet. but the way in which
the merits of certain gentlemen are be-
ing urged Is quite unusual.
Those whose terms expire are VIM.
+. Lodge, of Brandywine, James Cars
we'll, of Wilmington, Adolphus Hus-
bands, of Chlistiana, Albert H. Silvers
of New Castle, and Alexander Wilson
of Pencader. OF course more interest
attaches to the seat of Mr.. Carswell, Of
this city. 1t is not to be expected that
that gentleman will be candidate for
reelection. With reference to him it
is said by many Democrats that the
reason he has not resigned was the in
fiuence Of a certain member of the
party, who desired him to continue in
Office until he could secure the Gov
ernor's consent to appoint him and,
failing in that, resolved that no one
else should have the office until the
nomination came about, when he might
stand a chance of getting the prize.
Those who are candidates for the
position are VIM. B. Norton, John
Otto, Milton Lackey, James Bradford,
Charles McCloskey and Thomas M.
Ogle. Mr.. Ogle looks at it in philo-
sophie light. Says he: 81 am pa
triot; and am around for any thing like
this, in which any thing for the good
Of mankind and myself can be realized
by my election" He is the latest can
did tie, and will make a good run
These are all Democratic candidates.
The Republicans talk of c. Febiger /;
and ex-Marshall Dunn has been sug-
gested.
The contest out in the Hundreds
where vacancies will have to be filed
has not commenced yet, with the ex-
ception of New Castle. Here Mr..

tion, and will be looked on with much
favor. The other candidates are ex-

CITY LAW BREAKERs FINED BY HIS
HONOR MAYOR ALMOND.
A number Of wituesseJ at police court
las. night failed to answer to their names
when they were called, aud In conse-
quence, the session was not so long as
had been anticipated.
An ancient Irish woman, named
Brown, was arraigned, and lad named
William Dorsey dolefnlly told how he
had been assaulted by the prisoner, who
beat him over the face with stick, nc
Third and Van Buren streets, when he
to Id her accusation that he had stolen
candy from a store was not true. The
accused exhibited q switch that looked
like it had seen days Of u.s. fulness in
coming down on The trows-r seats of
refractory urchins. and admitted that
she hit him "a few little taps across tue
mouth" Before the Mayor gave his
decision, Mrs. Brown called up small
colored girl, and SAID that she wanted
her sworn Is witness against Lhs by
Dorsey, whom she proposed to sue. The
Mayor til her that he could not try
Dorsey, rs no charge had beeu pre-
fsrred, and no count.r-suits were aIIo wt d
at that court. He then fined the prison I
one dollar and costs.
Martin OTOoIe, lad, who ordered
the reporters to Keep his name out of the
papers, ans nswered the charge of di-Or-
derly conduct A German saloon kee Der,
named Theodore Fickele, who keeps at
Filth and Monroe streets, testi fed that
OToole aHd other boys gave great an
noyance in the neighborhoOd, aud would
not desist. What he complained Of in
particular occurred on Saturday night.
O'Toole showed by his witness that the
chief cause OF the disturbance on Satur-
day night was serenade. which he leu
dered his sister. A penalty of be pay
ment OF costs and furnishing OF bonds
TO keep the peace was imposed.
AT the conclusion of tho session Mrs.
Brown pal ! the amount of the tiDe and
COSTS, and remarked that she would have
justice. "Pll find It somewhere else If 1
can y get 1t here"
Five minutes thereafter she entered
Magistrate Hagany's office, and said, 81

The Magistrate took the case under
advisement.
At this mornings session two men
who were druns had to pay the sum the
city demanded for that privilege. James
Collins, who assaulted q negro in the
Opera House, was fined S5 and costs for
his offense. Officers Kane aud Jones
testified that the negro was not in the
wrong. and that the attack was unpro-

"THE PIRATES OF PENzANcEr
Judging from the number of re-
served seats that have already been
sold for the performance of Gilbert and
Sullivan's latest opera the pirates of
Penzance," at the Opera House to-
morrow evening there will be large
audience. Not one Of the admirers of
opera should fail to greet the first
presentation of this opera in Whining
ton, as it will be brought out here in
a style never before equalled. The
choruses will be full and complete,
while the principal characters in the
cast will be assumed by singers and
actors of acknowledged ability. The
scenery has been painted expressly for
the opera, and Is very fine. Since the
opera was first brought out in New
York on January 1st, it has been greet
ed by large and fashionable audiences
and the press notices have been very
complimentary.
MIR. Sullivan has been faithful and
valuable partner Of Mr.. Gilbert in the
mnsic he has written for TINS bright little
work. There isgenuine, M usicaI merit
In several OF the numbers. The chorus,
near the close of the first act, which has
the character OF q serious prayer, the
duo for the soprano and tenor in the sec
ond act, and an aria for soprano On her
appearance in the first acc, are exceed
iDgly clever compositions. There are Q
number of other bright and lively airs,
cboruses, and concerted pieces which
are likely to become popular. A chorus
OF policemen was the most unsteady hu-
morous number of the evening, and pro-
voked more amusement than ANYTHING
else during the performance. Mr. Suli-
vans abilities rs musician are shown
in even the trivial and light "tanes''
which aie introduced. There is nothing
thin or weak ab )ut it, and the Jingle OF
IL is always agreeable. In word, Il IL q
bright aud engaging operatie trifle. and
IS full OF the same merit that has made
"Pinafote? 50 successful.

first round of the contest was played
in Mr.. Homer A. Herr's studio in the
Masonic Temple. Four matches or
eight games were played during the
evening. Quite number of specta-

clusion of each round, when the score
will be handed to the newspapers for
