Etsappeared MysterIOusly.

There is a mysterious disappearance
in West Wilmington. Michael Conner,
riveter at Harlan's, living at 5l2 Tat
Fall street, has been missing from his
home since Christmas evening. He
left the house with the intention Of
getting shaved. His wife gave him
25 cents and he put on his overcoat
merely intending to return in a few
minutes. After this he was seen at
Deerdan's saloon on Front street with
two fellow laborers. He was also seen
at Hoyt's saloon on Front street with a
New Castle man. After this he start
I'd for home but it seems that man
named Carney also an employee of the
H. s; H. Co., had met him and as he
expressed it, she was all right and had
plenty of money" 1t seems all traces
of theman have been lost since that. His
wife has been making diligent inquiry
at Chester and other places without
avail.

Grant and . third CeSm.

In connection with the Republican
nomination for the Presidency next
June, at Chicago, letter of General
Grant written in 1875 is reprinted. 1t
is not believed the General has made
any business arrangements which would
make the acceptance Of nomination
less agreeable to him now than then.
The Washington correspondent Of the
" Times and Dispatch" gives so much
of the letter as bears upon the pro-
liability of his acceptance:
81 do not want it "a third time) any
more than did the first. would not
write or utter word to change the will
of the people in expressing or having
their choice. The question of the num-
Der of terms allowed to any one execu-
tive can only come up fairly in propo-
sition to amend the constitutions
shape in which all political parties can
participate-fxing the length of time
or mum Der OF terms for which any one
person shall BE- eligible for the Office Of
President. Until such amendment il
adopted, the people cannot be restricted
in their choice by resolution, farther
than they are now restricted as to sgs,
nativity, &C."

PRESIDENT HAYES.
u,. p.t,x Life In ,ne white II GU,

HIS Daily Life in the White House.
A writer in "Good Company" says;
Mr.. Hayes takes his life as easily as
any man who ever lived in the White
House. In the first place, he has the
great advantage Of enjoying perfect
health, and, wiser than most men
overrun with business, he makes the
preservation Of his health a prime
consideration in ordering his daily
| life. Before breakfast every morning,
except in the stormiest OF weather, he
goes out for long walk, and before
dinner every afternoon for long ride.
So liberal drafts of fresh air promote a
good appetite and sound sleep, and the
first impression one gets of the Presi'
dent is that Of a vigorous man in the
prime of his physical powers. The
next is that Of good-natured. pleas
ant tempered person anxious to oblige
everybody. The caller never feels
that he is in the presence OF a great
man, but if he enjoys an opportunity
for conversation he can hardly fail to
set Mr.. Hayes down as "level-head-
ed man. thoroughly honest and sin
csrely DESTROYS to serve the county to
the best Of his ability. In short. the
average citizen encounters in the Presi'
dent a man with whom he finds him
self easily in sympathy, aud likss him
perhaps sll the better that he does mol
appall him by any sense OF greatness
The atmosphere which pervades the
White House under the present ad-
ministration Is that we'll conducted
household, in which honest industry
and a happy domestic life are the most
salient features. If one does not ex'
poet any brilliant achievements from
This plain man, he teels at least sure
that the White House will be free from
scandals, that rogues will find noqusr-
ter there, so long as he stays in 1t. 1t
is worth much to the country, too, to
have SO fine an example of q hearty,
happy, simple home-life in the execu
tive mansion as that which is now pre-
ssnted. Therei is no vulgar display about
it; it is the domestic administration OF
an unostentatious american family,
with only such changes and modiics-
tons as an official residence absolutely
REQUIRES. Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes enjoy
living in the White House, and make
no attempt to conceal the fact. They
are sometimes criticized by fDical per
sons for such frankness, but the mass
Of the people are not likely to quarrel
with them very seriously because they
like the quarters which the nation has
them.
Daily Republican., 1880-01-09

AFTER THE Republicans are assessed
and have paid the taxes assessed to
them, the next thing is to be allow ed
to vote peaceably and without molesta,
ton, the ticket of their choice. In some
of the lower wards of this city, in the
past, colored man could scarcely gel
to the polls at all without being assault
cd by drunken roughs and driven
away from the polls. The Republicans
desire nothing more than fair cleo
ton, at which Democrats and Repub-
licans alike will be allowed to vote I'M
molested and without fear of personal
injury and insult fir ON drunken row

Garcelon, the infamous Democratic
Governor of Maine, has gone out OF
efice overwhelmed with such a Hood Oh
infamy and disgrace as never before
Overlook q public officer. The lesson
taught by his usurpation is that even
the best Of Democrats are not to DC
trusted with power. No man stood
higher in the estimation and res
p,Ct Of the people everywhere than
Garoelon did before his last act OF per-
ady and infamy. and none now are SO
low as to do him reverence. This could
we'll be borne with if 1t were not for the
llamentable fact that the party to which
he belonged is willing to profit by his
infamy. The thirst for Office on the
part OF the Democracy, no matter now
obtained, is 80 great that the party
whip with them is more powerful
than of personal honor, or regard ior
public deoency and right. The Demo
cracy of Maine could not rise up to
meet the requirements Of the occa,
sion aud were therefore incapable O.
revolving against the infamous plot
which. has subjugateda State Govern
mont, and installed a bogus legislature
in Augusta. We have heard much OF
bogus Legislatures in the South but Gar
celon and his associate conspiraters are
much worse type of Democracy than
has yet been exhibited in louisiana
Mississippi or South Carolina. 1t ID
consolation however to think that out
Of this mQddle Of infamy good must
come. The foEbearance Of the people
Of Maine must be admired. Mere than
once have the people of the New England
States flown to arms to put down usur-
patton not half so pernicious. Inc
State OF Maine will react under such a
pressure into an attitude OF popular
self-assertion among her masses, that
repetition of this sort Of political ras-
cality will be impossible.The whole pc
political atmosphere of Maine will be puri-
fed by the present storm. From the
present standpoint it is hard to tell
what will be the outcome of the compli-
catisn but the present duty Of the Re
publicaus of Maine and all who want to
see Republican institutions perpetuated
in the country, to resist by all the means
in their powell, short of resort to arms,
this attempt to degrade and subver:
the principles which govern free in
situations.

WE HOPE that the Assessors through
out the State will be careful to make
their returns of voters as full as posi-
BILE, and thereby give the Republicans
every opportunity to get their men up
to the required patriotism necessary to
pay tax as prerequisite to voting.
The above we clip from the Gazette"
of yesterday, and we frankly say that
we are surprised, most agreeably So
This is the first indication that we have
seen of returning sound practical senst
in that paper in regard to the assess
ment of voters and collection of taxes
This is all that is wanted by tbs Re
publicans, and it is nothing more o.
LEGS than should be desired by the Dem
ocrats. All voters. Whether Democra'
or Republican, whito or black, poor o.
rich, should be assessed and an oppor
tunity given to pay his taxes

We hope our uptown cotemporary viii

We hope our uptown cotemporary will
continue giving such good advice, and
every other day at least to publish the
following from the REPUBLICAN.
SIN addition to this the Collectors
have had standing advertisements in
the papers giving notice where they
coull be found by any person wishing
to pay their taxes. With these tacili-
ties offered there really IS no good rea-
son why anybody should be disfran-
chised, but if voters never look after
assessments, and never think of hum
ing up The Collector to pay their taxes,
such persons are always distranchised
when the time for the election comes
around"

TIE REPORTS THAT there were any bad
feeling or want of harmony in the meet
ing of the Republican County Commit
tee on Wednesday, are entirely erro-
neous. We know what we are about
when we say that it could not have
been more harmonious. Such false re-
ports instead of injuring the Repnbli
can cause, will return to plague those
who originated them. The Republicans
have harmony now instead of two dis
septing factions as in times past.

On Wednesday Mr.. Bayard rose in
the Senate and presented the petition
of "Charles C. Stockley and IS other
citizens of Georgetown, Del, without
refereAce to party utilization, praying
for the passage of resolution provid-
ing for the abolition of the compulsory
legal tender power of the Treasury
note of the United States" also one
from George +. Brady and 81 others,
citizen of Delaware City and New Cas-
tie, Del, praying for the repeal of the
compulsory legal tender power of the
United States Treasury notes." They
were both referred to the committee on
Finance. Hon. Edward L. Martin pre-
scented in the house bill TO improve
the navigation of the Mspillion River;
also the petition of William A. Serb
rer and $50 other citizens of Milford,

pillion. also a bill to improve the navi-
CATION of Broadkill River; also the pc

If THE Maine Republicans really did
try to bribs the Fusionist members to
help them to obtain their rights, they
are to be blamed but it will perhaps
BE- az well not to believe the accusation
until it is supported by very positive
proof. Men who lend themselves to
such rascality as was attempted by
Governor Garcelon are discfoiited in

say against the persons whom they
have defrauded.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

Newspaper advertising is now re-
faith in their own wares, as the most
effective means for securing for their
goods a wide recognition of their
merits. .,- f.. -.
Newspaper advertising compels in
-quiry, and, when the article offered is
of good quality aud at a fair price,
the natural result is increased sales.
Newspaper advertising is a perma-
nent addition to the reputation of the
goods advertised, because il is a per-
manent influence always at work in
their interest.
Newspaper advertising is the most
energetic and vigilant of statesmen,
addressing thousands each day, al
ways in the advertisers interest, and
ceaselessly at work seeking custom
ers from all classes.
Newspaper advertising promotes
trade, for even i'll the dullest times
advertisers secure by far the largest
share of what is being done. r.
While the advertiser eats and sleeps,
printers, steam engines aud printing
presses are at work for him, trains
are bearing his words to thousands
of towns and hundreds of thousands
of readers, all SIancing with more or
less interest at the message prepared
for them i'll the solitude of his office.
No preacher ever spoke to SO large all
audience, or with &C little effort. or SO
eloquently, as you, gentle reader,
may do, with the newspaper mans
assistance.
