a STERLING OLD POEM.

Who shall judge man from his mannersi
Who shall know him by his dressf
Paupers may be fit for princes,
finces fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the glorious ore
or the deepest thoughts ard feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There are streams of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out of stone;
There are purple beds and golden
Hidden, crushed and overthrown.
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But rs pebbles in the sea.
Man upraised above his fellows
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest kinds are men
Men Of labor, men Of feeling,
Men of thought and men Of fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennobling name
There are foam embroidered oceans;
There are little wood-cla rills;
There are feeble, inch-high saplings;
There are cedars on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For to him all vain distinctions
Are rs pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF II nations wealth and fame,
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
by tho sweat OF others forehcads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged feeling
Vainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is n sunny right.
God, whose world. wide voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Links oppression with its titles
But as pebbles in the sea.

TIE ENERGY OF THE SoUTH.-The
energy Of the Southern people Is begin
ming to make itself felt and acknowl-
edged by many of those who formerly
decried them as slothful ldlers. We
have on our table the Charleston, 8. G.
Courier, from 1t we learn that far
greater acreage of cotton has been put
in this year than ever before, and the
crop for 1880 is expected to be over
100000 bales against 5000, 900 bales
last year, from which a profit over ex-
penses Of $13O,0O0,000 was nettsd.
Preparations are already being made In
Charleston for floral fair on the 2Sth
instant, and $50, 900 is subscribed for
getting up an agricultural society. The
public schools Of Charleston have just
held their commencement and In the
high school twenty eight young ladies
graduated. This is far more than grad
mated in this city at our high school.
The Charleston Light Dragons made
handsome display OH Thursday. There
was spirited tilt and fine display of
sword practice on horse back, witnessed
by large crowd OF ladies and gentle
men. After which the soldiers supplied
their friends with refreshments.

The Delaware Election


We give place 10 a circumstan,ial re-
view of the Delaware election laws from
a partisan Republican standpoint, as q
matter of justice to those of our read
ers who are now engey yed in desperate
struggle TO revolutiOnlze that State and
unseat Senator Bayard. A party organ
would be glad TO publish and endorse all
that the writer Of the communication
says about unjust election laws and
their more unjust execution but it is
the business Of the Tunes to halt parti-
sans within the boundaries of logic and
truth, and that is seldom agreeable to
either side.
The new election laws of Delaware
are nearly copy of the Republican
fundamental and statutory laws OF
Pennsylvania on the question of suf-
frage. The chief difference between
them Is in the less stringent provisions
of Delaware, or what q Republican
partisan in that State would call the
less arbitrary requirements. In this
state 1t is The business of every citizen
TO see to his own assessment and TO nav
his taxes without waiting to be called
upon; and when they don't do it, tbey
can't vote and there's All end OF It. The
result is that the committees of both
parties look to the assessments and pay-
ment Of taxes of their respective fol.
lowers-the Republican city committee
of Philadelphia having paid taxes for
over fifty thousand voters of this city in
1878. No man can vote In Pennsylyania
unless he is assessed at least sixty days
and has paid the necessary tax at least
thirty days before the election.
In Pennsylvania, as in Dela~ are, both
parties resort to all possible expcdients to
help their own voters and TO hinder their
opponents. What the law is in regard
to the payments OF taxes by proxy is
unsettled. 1t has been decided by one
Court that ifthe names ofthe delinquents
are presented to the collector within the
time specified and the taxes paid, the
law Is complied with and another Court
has held that it requires the express
direction or subsequent ratification of the
payment by the voter. The result is that
political committees here, ,as in Delaware
take care of their own, get the tax re-
ceipts for their doubtful followers and
thus confer suffrage when the citizen
votes right and withholds it when he
would vote wrong.
There is great deal Of human nature
in political parties in Delaware as else.
where aud it is one of the chief cbarac-
teristles OF human nature in partisan
leaders to cheat the adversary when thew
can and TO protest Indignantly when
they get cheated themselves. That seems
to be the case in Delaware Just now. The
Democrats have the butt-end Of the law
because they have officers who execute it
and the Republicans complain because
they can't do what the Democratic have
done. We don't credit the assumption
that the Delaware courts allow different
constructions of the same law for
different parties. Partisan officers will
execute election laws there as in
Pennsylvania In the interest Of their
party, but the courts restrain them from
denying equal privileges to all sides for
ihe qualification Of their voters. Has
this been tried in Delaware and failed?
lfso the disgrace Is upon the judiciary

THERE is now proposition made
the city to purchase the water rights
belonging to the mill which was burn
ed recently. The city could have pur-
chased machinery, real estate and all
a few months ago at Sheriff's sale for
about $24, 900 and few years previ-
GUS was offered the same property for
about SIS, 900, when the Republicans
had control of the Council. We have
enough water supply for twenty years
if it is economically used, and we hope
no purchase will be made.
The daily gazette., 1880-04-05

SOME Republican has written to the
philadelphia Times a whining letter
making many complaints against our
laws, our Democratic election officers,
our assessments; the county courts and
other matters. The Times tbereupon
makes brief comparison Of the cleo
ton laws as enacted and enforced in It's
own State by Republicans and shows
that the laws OF Democratic Delaware
are free from many of the objections
that exist there and are enforced with
more llberality and fairness.
The daily gazette., 1880-04-05

of the State rather than upon the poli-
ticans; but we have yet to see any reason
able evidences Of the prostitution Of tha
courts TO politics. The general Idea Of
the FIRE Omen In the old slave States has
been that they should do the voting aud
that the whites should pay the taxes, but
that hallucination Ii about over; aud the
sooner the party leaders teach colored
voters that they mpst accept the con-
ditions Of citizenship TO emily It's
privileges the sooner willthere be homes.

sooner will the colored men realize the
blessing of freedom.

In the County and State they will
carry it more easily than they did in
1879; oil the Dragging Of the Republi-
cans to the contrary notwithstanding.
Seeing thai the Republicans through
the decisions of the Radical Courts in
tend to put the negro in official posi-
tions and in the jury box, Della
wareans in the lower counties are more
determined than ever 10 keep out of
the Republican party and to keep their
sons aloof from the companionship of
negroes. The Republican party was
broken up entirely in 1878 and there
were only 2,966 votes polled against the
Democrats; it therefore, cannot hope
to carry more than seven or eight
thousand votes in the State /; while the
Democrats can vote a Thousand more
votes than they did in 1875, when
they had a majority of 2,705, polling
1881, more than half of the votes in
the State, as shown bya comparison
with the population by the census Of
1870. We are stronger now than we
were in 1875, by all odds. The Re-
publicans of Sussex were SO complete
ly disgusted by the action of their
party in Kent in 1878, that they re-
fused to have their men assessed this
fall. only putting ON less than two hum
