THE supreme court in session at Harris
burg yesterday rendered a decision. con-
tirming the decision Of the Philadelphia
court, disbarring a lawyer by the name of
Samuel Davies. What his offence was We
do not know, or that it can have any bear
ing on the Steinman and Hensel case, as a
precedent, We cannot say.-Erdm'uer.
But our contemporary could easily
have ascertained that his offence was
stealing his client S money, drunkenness,
licentiousness, and nearly everything
else that constitutes degree of g moral
obliquity,'' uniting a man to be en-
trusted with the privileges and response
bilities of member of the bar.

FISHERMEN DROWNED.
Sad Fate Of q Party of Fishermen the
Columbia River.

Sad Fate OF Party OF F1Shermen ON the
Columbia River.
A large fleet, numbering over score Of
boats, started out early yesterday morn
ing to lay their nets in their usual fishing
ground, opposite Point Adams, at the
mouth of the Columbia river, Oregon.
The bar there, which is constantly shifting
its position, makes the navigation of the
river difficult even in fine weather, but in
times of sudden squalls it becomes especial
ly dangerous. In returning up the river, soon
after sunset, one of these squalls arose and
twenty boats were driven helplessy OF the
bar, where they were swami ed. Every
exertion was made by their more fortunate
companions to aid the drowning men, but
in spite of all their efforts twelve of the
number were drowned before their eyes.
The shore was finally reached by the re-
naming boats of the fleet with the rescued
men. The names of those who have per-
ished are not yet reported and the number
of drowned, in addition to those stated, is
as yet unknown.

LEvEEs are necessary to preserve Sacra-
mento from the danger of inundation. The
city lies in the focus of precipitous water
sheds, and the recent heavy rainfall pro-
duced great alarm. A plan is under dis

scale and make them serve the additional
purpose of adorning the city by convert
ing the crests into pleasure drives.
cit is the health, not the eye-sight,"
says the London Spectator, (Which parents
with studious children should protect,
though they should be most merciless in
insisting ON sufficiency of light, and
light which actually reaches the object of

THE Examiner regards the alleged
"kick" against Grant by the Philadelphia
delegation as "cock and bull story"
The Examiners editor, having long felt
the Cameron collar around his own neck
and become so accustomed to its unyield-
ing pressure that he has lost all sense of
its degradation, and in fact rather enjoys
the sensation, cannot for the life of him
understand why anyone should or would
get rid of the ornament. He thinks that
all this talk about revolt comes from a
few "gabby alternates" who have no put
in the convention, and that when Pennsyl-
vania is called at Chicago it will respond
with alacrity to the gentle pressure of the
Lochiel chiefs little finger. The commo-
dore is just about three thirds right in his
prediction.
THE Philadelphia Telegraph, Rep, re-
CARDS the chances of the Republicans re-
gaining control of the next House of Re-
presentatives as as exceedingly slim, and
says the Democrats have a fair show of
holding their own and capturing besides
not less than three congressman in Ohio,
two in Illinois, three in Indiana, two in
Michigan, three in Pennsylvania, two in
New Jersey, three in New York, and one
each in Connecticut, Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire and Maine, with chances in a
score of districts in other states. Thus
the Democratic majority Of twenty-one in
the present House would be more than
doubled; in fact, it would be quite
within the range of possibility for the
Democrats and Greenbackers combined to
obtain a twO-thirds control

Letter from Sam'I To,cnsend.

Mr.. EDITOR I'm the last letter the
type setter used the word Clay in 1S48,
1t was written Cass. And, now, few
words on Sugar Beets. The papers
state that Edward G.. Fenimore, of
Odessa, took the first premium of one
hundred dollars on one acre, 26 tons,
supposed to make 5,984 pounds of su-
gar. Mr.. Fenimore's post Office is
Odessa, but he lives in the northern
portion Of Appoquinimink Hundred.
and John r. Lewis, who took the 4th
premium, lives in the southern portion
Of App0quinimink Hundred, although
his post Office is Green Spring, there
fore, Appoquinimink Hundred took
the first and fourth premiums. If beets
will make the amount Of sugar report
ed, $50 pounds to the ton Of beets, at
6 cents per pound for the sugar would
be $13. 80, and a grower of beets should
have at least Z dollars per ton for
beets instead of A dollars, the price re-
ported paid this year. l have never
had very favorable opinion of the su-
gar beet business, but it may be possi-
Bile there has been new kind of sugar
beet introduced, and, as ! know both
Fenimore. and Lewis, to be reliable
men, / am glad to hear so favorable g
report, for the Delaware farmers stanC
in need of some favorable turn in agri
culture to help them out.

Mr.. EpIToR :-1Oni Saturday some
one, called my attention to- an article
in the Republican making an attack on
t. M. Wier, storekeeper. who proposes
to keep the Grangers' Store, soon to be
opened in your city. '- 'ii"
Now, in the first place a man can
call hisSstore what he pleases, and if
Young Wier chose to call his store the
Granger Store, he had as much right
as TO call it the Great Tycoon or any
other outlandish name and IL any one
ever had right to cali it Granger he
had. l told him he should have called
his store the Farmers Friend" for
the farmers have a friend in him. !
not only speak for myself, but l speak
for my neighbors in Chester county.
He is known to be the best friend oi
the farmer. If you have a large lot ol
produce to sell any farmer will tel
you to go to T. M. Wier's. He takes
invariably about two hundred pounds
of butter every week. Last week,
myself and one of my neighbors sold
him one hundred and fifty dozen eggs.
/ sold him myself three hundred

This is not for one day, but foi
years. I have served him and can
bring you fifty men who can tell you
the same. No man in Wilmington
helps the farmers as well, for no one
can sell so much of our produce.
What / want is all the farmers to
know who is their friend. No matter
how good store you keep If we can't
sell you our produce we can'tbuy your
goods, and l won't stand by and hear
the best friend the farmer ever had
abused as he was in last weeks Re
publican, and l want the parties who
call themselves ''Grangers, !" to come
out in their own names, for If they
