nave Just gone as we expected Mr.. Hoar
is named as temporary chairman, but an
other name will be presented by the con
vention." "But are you gratifed by the
resultH' | asked. ~ expected matters to
go as they have" he answered eyasively.
The fact is, so far as the committee IS con-
cerned, believe the bosses and his imperial
highness have received a rather ominous
black eye. The action Of the chairman in
refusing to entertain reasonable and legal
motion, or to grant an appeal, will excite
general indignation. The machine is too
apparent, and it remains to be seen if dele
gates will stand being handled as automa-
tons. Unless the GRANTEES have strength
to counterfeit the work of the committee
they are hopelessly routed Filley seems
confident that the convention will do what
is requisite in the matter.
The massmeetings tonight, Grant and
anti.Grant, were not enthusiastic. visit
ed both. At the former Stephen A. Doug =
las, Jr., Fred. Douglass, Judge Harrison of
Tennessee and Others spoke, but the Grant
luminaries were absent The crowd was
not immense and was decidedly languid in
spirit. At the anti-Grant demonstration
the crowd was certainly the largest. Frye
of Maine, MacVeigh of Pennsylvania, Pc
sey of Indiana and others spoke, but most
of the orators were obscure men. To-mor-
row the cauldron will boil hotter and tiercer
than ever.

INDIAN TRoCGTIEs-vICToRIos BLOODY
WORK.
SAN Francisco, May 3l.-A Tucson dis
patch says; 0. S, Smythe, superintendent
of the n. NJ. and L. company, is here from
Silver City, He states that the whole coun-
try surrounding Silver City is IN state Of
terror and decentralization. Victoria and
his band of not less than three hundred
and fifty warriors made up of Apaches,
Mescaleros. Comanches and Navajoes are
spreading death and destruction before
them. Troops under Gen. Hatch appear to
be powerlcss.
A volunteer company of fifty men,
equipped, mounted and rationcd by citi-
zens Of Silver City to aid the military, went
to Gen. Hatch at Mogollon mountain some
days ago, Offering their aid. In response
to this offer they were informed by Hatch
that the citizens had better attend to their
own business-that he would take care of
the Indians At that time San Francisco
valley was being made desolate by Indians,
settlers fleeing for their lives. Not less
than twenty-five people were killed.
1t is also well known that when a promi-
nent officer of the Arizona command sent
word TO Hatch that by certain movement
he HATCH could corrall Victoria in Box
canyon, Hatch refused to cooperate and
Victorio escaped. The people of South
western New Mexico are very bitter against
Hatch. Upwards of $50 citizens have been
killed in New Mexico by this band during
Hatch's campaign of the last three or four
months. They also claim that he has been
defeated in every engagement with the In
dians, and has sent reports to military
headquarters, most outrageously classifying
the real situation OF affairs IN his depart.

FtLIBusTERING IN THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, May 3i.--There was u
ridiculous performance in the house late
this afternoon. The house went into com
mittee Of the whole to consider the general
deficiency bill. No limit was fixed for
general debate. Mr.. Reagan, chairman of
the commerce committee, was recognized
by the chair and under the rules was enti-
tied 10 one hour. He began a speech on
the interstate commerce question. He
was soon interrupted by certain Republi-
cans Of small calibre who insisted that he
should confue his remarks to the deficiency
bill. A row at once ensued.
Finally the committee rose
because certain Republicans tilibustered by
brcakinga quorum. Though appealed to
by Gen, Hawlcy and others they refused to
consent to any arrangement by which Mr..
Reagan would be allowed TO proceed
In the midst Of this tangle Mr. Springer
moved to 90 to the speakers table for the
purpose of reaching and considering the
senate joint tule providing method for
the electoral count. On this motion all
but half a dozen Republicans refused to
vote, thereby breaking the quorum and
bringing all business to stand.still. BY
the grace Of the house large number of
Republicans are absent at Chicago. Under
the circumstances it is indecent for those
remaining to play the part Of obstruction
lists.

Fair Dealing.

The Democrats pretend that they are
willing to deal fairly by the Republi-
cans Of this State, and hence there Is
no necessity for the appointment of u.
s. Supervisors Of the assessment. Un-
fortunately for them the experience Of
the past gives the lie to their preten-
sions. The assessors have not only
neglected to place the names Of citizens
on the assessment, but every obs acls
has been thrown in the way to pre-
vent them from qualifying themselves
to vote. Names ordered to be placed
on the list by the Levy Court have
never appeared, and in one ease the
Levy Court Of Kent county adjourned
In order to escape such an unpleasant
duty. Collectors have also declared
time and again that the names of par
ties who applied to pay their tax were
not on the duplicate, when they were
there, in order that they might return
them as delinquents. They have also
refused to receive the tax when ten
dered by another party, and in short
have thrown every obstacle in the way
Of Republicans who wished to comply
with the law and exercise the full
rights Of citizenship. In one case the
collector of Christiana Hd., only con-
ssntsd to receive tbs tax after a threat
Of personal violence If he continued to
decline to do so. Neither has fair play
been allowed at the polls. In many
instances colored men have been fright
sned away and in some of the wards
the intimidation resorted to was well
calculated to alarm any peaceable citi-
zen. The police have also behaved
badly, arresting men without cause
and tralnpling on the rights of voters.
Beside wholesale fraud has been com
mitted, and the leaders Of the party
have encouraged and profted by the
same. A repetition Of their infs- p
nous conduct will assuredly result in y
'erious consequences. After an expert Ii
'nce of the outrages perpetrated in eur @
'ity and county, the plea of fairness u
nay be put down as sham, base ?
oretense, and those making it have {
good cause to be ashamed of themselves !
+ there is any shame in them. Demo. r.
,ratic partizans here are almost as bad n
IS in the South, doing under cover of ., o.
aw and covert manipulation what is q
here effected by the shot gun. The y,
ruth is they do not like the effort Of g
he Republicans to secure q full and q
air vote and hence their opposition 10

CONGRESSMAN Cox, from New York
has generally been the acknowledged
humOrist Of the House. His ready wit
and cutting sarcasm is generaIy dread
ed Ivy oth1r members, who have not the
talent for making fun of and turning to
ri1icule every subject that comes before
the House that Cox has. On Thursday
Cox ran against Mr.. Horr of Michigan,
an amabls gentleman, fat and good
natured, but a3power when aroused to
action. Cox had but short time to
crow over the supposed vaaquishment
Of Mr.. Horr, as yesterday was the lat
ter's day in Congress, and Cox has since
been looking toward " sunset" to see
where that clap of thunder came from.

The Extra ASS eusun eut.

Yesterday We finished the publica
ton Of the extra assessment, and all vc
ters have had chance by reading owe
the columns Of names to ses wheths
they were assessed or not. The labo
In publishing them has been great an
much other reading matter has beel
! excluded from our columns while W
have our reward in knowing that W,
have given the people an opportunit,
to ascertain fact Of great Importance
to themselves without mach trouble.
Though the extra assessment is large
1t Is still fact that there are yet prob
ably two or three thousand unassessed
persons in Wilmington. 1t requires
no search 10 prove that fact. They are
met everywhere and quite a number
have informed US that their names
were handed in but still they do not ap-
pear on the assessment lists. As the as
sessmsnt laws oflate years have purpose
ly been rendered intricate and difficult
to understand it is possible that quite q
large number who were returned as de-
linquents last spring have applied to
be assessed and their Dames have failed
to appear, simply from the fact that the
law forbids the placing of name npon
the assessment list until one year after
1t has been returned as delinquent.
Thus If pame has been returned to
the Levy Court by the collector of taxes
a delinquent on the first day of March,
1879, it cannot be placed upon the as
sessment until the first day of March,
1880, or il the uame has been returned
as lste as the first OF April 1879, it can
not be again placed upon the assessment
until the first of April 1880. For such
persons there will be no chance to get
assessed until one year after the date
on which they we're returned as delip-
quents, but if they will take particular
note of the day on which the year ex-
pires, they can still appear before the
Levy Court at New Castle and have
their names entered, so that they can
still gain right to vote at next fall
elections, provided they are assessed
six months before the election. To
those whose names have been already
left off the assessment we would urge
that they attend at the City Hall on
next Saturday, between the Lours of
9 O'Clock in the forenoon and o'clock |
in the afternoon, where the assessors
have advertised to meet them, and to
put their names on the assessment in
with the law, which makes
provisions for the case. If everybody |,
IN the city not assessed, attends on that
lay no doubt that the assessors will be-
kept so busy that they will not be able
20 assess all who apply, hut in such
case it is probable that they will con-
sent to meet on the following Monday
% complete their work. We would ad. {

The Other Side,

Mr.. Douglass Mccoy, ex-tax collector
of New Castle Hundred, in his anxiety
to serve his party, has unwittingly
criminated himself. The law imposes
fine on collectors who receive tax
from the citizens and then refuse or
neglect to properly account for the
same. This is what Mr.. Mccoy appears
to have done. In October, 1878, Mr..
Wallace, keeper of the light house be-
low New Castle, paid Mr.. Mccoy his
county and poor tax for that year, and
yet he was returned to the Lew Court
as delinquent, and that body struck
his name from the assessment list. Mr..
Wallace exhibited to Us his receipt,
and there can be no doubt about its
being genuine. He also exhibited it to
the Clerk of the Peace, who at once de.
clared that the tax collector must have
put the money in his own pocket. We
do not believe that Mr.. Mccoy was
guilty Of any intentional wrong, but
the circumstance indicates the want of
a greater carefulness on his part, and
shows conclusively that his statements
should be received with a great degree
of allowance, particularly as Mr.. Wal
lace is included among the United
States officers who are charged with a
failure to pay their tax. Other officers
of the government show that the state
ment made by Mr.. Mccoy is not war
ranted, and the facts fully stated place
him in rather an unenviabls light. It'll
would be we'll to inquire if other men
'eturned as delinquents had not also
oaid their tax. Mr.. Mccoy must GER
.ainly regret that he permitted himself
% become the tool of designing Demo-
,ratic politicians, who induced him to
make a statement which, say the
east, places him in a very unpleasant
'redicsment. 1t will bs proper for him
o excuplate himself before he reflects
IN others.
