A Washington dispatch of Monday


says:
An editorial in the National Repub-
iicdn this morning is thought to be
semi-of1icial and to foreshadow an in
tention of the administration to make
a change at West Point and put Cen
Howard in charge. For some time
Gen. Schofield and the head of the war
department. have not been in harmony
as to the conduct Of affairs at the mil
itary academy.
This matter is merely a rumor, and
we do not think it probable there will
be any such change. Gen. Howard is
doing excellent service where he is,
and we but reflect the opinion of both
the people and the army in this De-
partmeut when we express the hope
that he may remain in command of
the Department of the Columbia.

The PROCEEDINGS of the City
Council show that there will be some
very important improvements com
menced in this city during the ap-
preaching spring months. 1t is pro-
posed to erect a large new depot at
Water and French streets, that will
give employment to number of hands
during the summer.
Improvements will also be made at
the depot of the Wilmington and
Western Railroad.
A branch from the Brandywine
station near the junction of Vandever
Avenue and the P, W. & B. r. R.
track, will be run to the village of
Brandywine, crossing Market street
at grade and continue up to the
Augustine paper mills. This will be
another important improvement to
that section of the city, increasing the
facilities and making the water power
on the Brandywine much more valua-
BILE, as it puts it at once in close con-
nection with the trade centres, saving
the labor of hauling for many miles.

Peninsula Paragraphs.

Alexander Carson, of Dover, Del. says
the Centreyille, Nd, Record, W as charged
last week before Justice Guest, of Church
Hill, upon the oath OF a citizen of this
county, that from what be had heard, the
said Carson had committed the crime of
perjury in making the affidavit in Della
ware that Constable John Z. Everett
had stolen his horses. Upon this affida-
virJustice Guest held Carson to bail in
the sum of $500, in default of which he
was committed to jail. 1t may be well
to state here, as we have stated in these
columns heretofore, that Constable Ev-
erett did not get the horses in Delaware,
but found them In his bailwick, and
without stopping to inquire how they
came there levied an attachment, as
Deputy Sheriff. Carson was admitted
to bail last week by Justice Goldsbor-
ough. How the magis rate is clothed
with Jurisdiction for crimes legged TO
be committed in Delaware is W hat Car
sons counsel is trying to find out.

IT IS A LITTLE curious to observe
how careful the Republican is not to
refer to the negroes who constitute the
bulk of its party and whose votes it is
so anxious to obtain through its
efforts to get them assessed. 1t calls
them Republicans and tells its readers
chat some six hundred Republicans
were put on the lists, but never init
mates that they were principally ne
groes who had been left off because
they would pay no tax. They will
pay no tax now, and unless the Re-
publican party pays their tax they
cannot vote in November. They can
fill the ranks of professions, however,
and enjoy all the fun of the campaign
in company with such young white
Republicans as can be coaxed to
march with them. Few of them,
however, like to be seen in the COM
panionship of negroes.

THE GRAND jury recommends the
institution Of a work-house in which
convicted felons may be made to labor
for their own support. This idea has
been urged for several years by quite
a large number of our people and is
beginning to take deep root in the
public mind as matter of growing
necessity. There are now about eighty
three prisoners in Jail, and their sup
port is a severe tax upon the county.
In many of the cities east and north
Of us, prisoners are made to work
upon the public roads and on the
streets as common laborers. 1t is not
unfrequently that men are imprisoned
who are good mechanics and who
would be better employed than idle,
if such disposition could be made of
their time in this State by law, it would
result to the public benefit.

How the Earthwas First Ma pped
Out,

What these early maps were we do
not know, but eau form reasonable
conjecture. The earth a. that time was
supposed to be Hat, circular plain, or
disk, the broadest part being from east
to west, which was entirely surrounded
by an ocean, or great river, that washed
it upon all sides. In about the centre
Of this plain Greece was supposed to be
situated. The great GENITAL sea of the
Inhabited region was the Mediterranean.
The farlhest point known at the west
was the Straits of Gibraltar, then called
the Pillars of Hercules, The southern
part comprised the north of Africa, as
far as the deserts; while the region
north embraced the countries bordering
on the Mediter anean, and an unknown
hyperborean laid further to the north,
with the Enxine and the Caspian Seas
to the northeast. The farthest eastern
point known was about the western linn
it OF India. This was what would then
lie contained in map as representa-
tion OF the earth. The sun was suppos-
ed TO pass under and around this fat
plain, which was then the mode for ac-
counting for the changes of day and
night. The space beneath was supposed
TO be great vault, called Tartarus, the
abode of the spirits of the wicked
among men, as the region corresponding
to it, above the plain, was the heaven,
or abode of the gods. The unknown
region beyond the Pillars of Hercules
was filled up with creations of the fer
tile imagination Of the Greeks. To the
northwest and north were the Cimmer-
ians, people living In perpetual dark
ness and the Hyperboreans, a race sup
posed to be exempt from toll, disease, or
wars, who eDj pyed life for thousand
years in state of undisturbed serenity,
To the west of Sicily were the enchant-
ed islands of Circe and Calypso, and
the floating island of Eolus. A little to
the north of the Pillars If Hercules was
the entrance to the Internal regions !;
and far out in the Western Ocean, be-
yoLd the limits of the known earth, was
the happy region called Elysium, land
of perpetual summer, where a gentle
zephyr constantly blew, where tempests
were unknown, and where the spirits Of
those whose lives had been approved
by the gods dwelt in perpetual felicity.
Here, also, were the gardens of the
Hesperides, with their golden apples
guarded by the singing nymphs, who
dwelt on the river Oceanus, which was
In the extreme west, and the position Of
which was constantly shifted as geo
graphical knowledge increased. -Chief
