Side Notes at Court.

ONE OF SUGAR AwFUL's" PALS
TAKEN CARE oF--AN EXCELLENT
SET OF JURYMEN-THE GRAND
JURY's WORK.
Court proceedings were enlivened,
yesterday afternoon, by an unusual
episode. The trial of VIM. Roth
well, COL, was in progress, and one
of his companions in crime, a little
coon only ten years old, named
Frank Smith, was put on the stand
to testify against him. When Frank
concluded the Court questioned him
in regard to his home and family.
He said his mother worked by the
day, and he did pretty much as he
pleased. Finally, the Court inform
ed him that he could have a good
home if he so desired, and asked if
he was willing to go into the country
and live with good farmer who
would do right by him and make him,
in time, decent young man.
Frank willingly assented to this
proposition, and then Mr.. Stringer
L. Tinley, a member of the Grand
Jury for Appoquinimink Hundred,
stepped forward and formally took
possession of the wayward lad. Mr..
FINLEY was attracted to the lad
while he was being examined before
the Grand Jury, and determined then
to take him in charge if the Court
was willing. The boys mother was
not present, but it is not supposed
she will object to the good prospects
ahead of her child.
% In the evening Frank Smith was
noticed on his way to depot, with a
bundle of new clothes under his arm,
trotting contentedly beside his bene-
factor and evidently well satisfied at
the prospect of the new life just
opening before him.
The conviction of John Henry
the Philadelphia pick-pocket, was a
source of great satisfaction to Attor-
ney-General Gray. He says these
kind of men generally manage to
elude Delaware justice, and they are
just the kind who ought to receive it,
in its fullest extent.
The Grand Jury, at this term,
found 90 true bills of indictment and
ignored seven. The jury is COM
posed of plain, practical, but inteli-
gent men, and they worked with all
the dispatch consistent with careful
investigation. The petit jury, SO
far, has also proved eminently salts
factory, and all jury trials so far
have been disposed of in strict and
and impartial justice. Only one
criminal, so far, has escaped convic-
ton, and the State let up on him be-
cause he was of unsound mind.
The trial of Lewis Tobias, COL,
yesterday, brought into Court, as
witnesses, four negro men and four
negro women, who said they lived
together as man and wife, but were
not married. This indicates how
loosely the marriage tie is regarded
among the colored people of this
city. .-iN@ t.-

Exit kP-G0v. SHEPARD-THE WASHING
TON he HAS NADIA PROPOSED RE
DUcTIoN OF THE HDENT's SAL
AIRY.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
.WAsHINGToN, d. o., May IL, 1880.
Boss Shepard, who reconstructed
Washington on q grand scale-paving
the streets, laying out parks, planting
innumeraDle trees, and making the
American Capital the most beautiful
city in this hemisphere, Is gone. Heis
not dead, but he has departed to take
charge of some silver mines in Mexico.
Five years ago he was a millionaire, now
ne Is bankrupt. The renovator and
beautif1er of the city he will be remem-
oered as the Baron Hausmann of W ash
ington. He has modernized the Ameri-
can Capital as Hausmapn modernized
Paris. As far as streets and parks are
concerned little remains to be done
Shepard crowded the work of thirty
years into three years, and now pri.
vate enterprise is rapidly adding the ar.
chitectural supplement- OF urban gran
deur. On every street and In almost
every square new and beautiful edifices
are in process Of erection.
People of wealth and leisure find
w asningtou q most agreeable place of
winter residence, and savans, soldiers,
statesmen and ex-statesmen ind here an
afhnity In science, literature, politics or
art, such AZ can be found elsewhere
only In cities Of the FIRST magnitude.
Ex-Senators, ex-Cabinet ministers and
ex-mem bers have made Washington a
permanent home. Bereft by vicisitudes
Of politics of official dignity, they still
hnger around the scenes Of their past
influence. When gazing at the marble
palaces that the government have
built, the brick palaces that private en-
terprise has built, the asphalt streets
and beautiful parks laid out by Boss
Shepard, one cannot help thinking of
the splendid desolation that will reign
here when the Capital Of the United
States shall have been reno ved west
ward, or some where-ward, to tho scien-
tific centre of the Union.
Although three of the most important
appropriation bills are yet--Io be report
ed, and only sixteen working days of
this month remain, there are member
who still believe that it IL posi- BILE for
Congress to adjourn by the first of
June. On the other hand, others, aud
they seem to be In majority, say that 1t
wlIi be impossible for them to do 80.
Two more of the appropriation bills
Will be ready for presentation to the
President on Tuesday next, VIZ the
Indian and the Consular and Diplo-
matte. they will be signed, thus ma
king six of the regular series of appro-
pri lotion bills which will have become
laws. The Legislative bill. will not be
reported to the House till Tuesday or
Wednesday. It must then be printed,
and consequently 1t will be near the
close of The week before 1t can he called
up for consideration. This bill ordi-
narly takes up good deal Of time, and
the proceedings upon 1t at this session
Will hardly be an exception. A member
from Tennessee proposes to offer an
amendment at the very start which will
lead to an extended discussion. The
amendment is to fix the salary of the
President again at $4,000. and the pro-
position never fails to excite a good deal
of discussion.

George Walker, an umbrella mender
was arraigned before the Mayor this
morning ON the charge of assaulting
Arthur Chew, a watchman in the en-
ploy of the P. w. g. B. r. r. Co., at
Third and Church streets. Mr.. Chew
testified that last evening after 6 o.
clock he was making his usual round
through the yard and discovered the
prisoner alongside of a fire pot, in
which was built fire. He ordered
the man to put the fire out, and as he
refused to do it, the witness kicked it
over and started to stamp it out with
his feet. AS he did so the prisoner
stepped up and struck him behind the
left ear with soldering iron, cutting
very ugly cash. The Mayor re-
quired the prisoner to pay penalty of
$40 and costs.

1t will soon be time for the Demo-
cratic party to nominate o candidate for
the office of Preside mt. In selecting .
candidate, success in election should be
the trst consideration. Tho most avail
able person then should be selected. The
most essential element in availability In
character. Lofty intellect is not 30
much required as integrity and frmness.
The candidate should also be one who
mas large hold ON the popular respect
and friendship; for men are very much
guided by feeling in this matter.
we nave two men prominent In our
party at this time who possess these
qualities in an eminent degree-Thomas
u. Bayard and Gen. Winfalc Hancoot.
Either of these men would make an nm
exceptional officer. But, when, you
come to consider which of the two men
would draw the most votes from the op-
posite party, the verdict should be for
Mr.. Bayard. He then combines the
gIea'est essentials of availaui ity.
No one doubts that Mr.. Tilden could
poll the full vote of his party; but is that
enoughP Why run any risk, when
H. ne is necessary? Persons who voted
against him before are not likely to vote
for him this time.
Mr.. Tilden has no claim on the Demo
cratic party. They did HINT honor to
make him their candidate the last tlme,
and there the matter ends. No man has
q right to jeopardize the success Of .
great party through any PERSONAL feel
ings. 1t Is said by some that he was
elected, but If SO, the margin was too
narrow 10 risk again; and revenge is the
most unsatisfactory of all satisfactions.
The South has this matter in the
own hands; aud If true to themselves
they will choose the candidate most
likely to achieve Buccf ss. They will
have the virtue of iupartiality, for ig
Is conceded that the candidate will NOT
be from their section.
Some persons contend that the vote Of
New York Is Indispensable, and that
therefore citizen of that State should
be selected. But that argument II good
now will always be good. Are we,
therefore, always to take our candidate
from New York? Three times we have
been defeated through that plea.
The Republicans are wiser than that,
otherwise they would take Conkling.
They will select the man whom they
think will control the largest popular
vOte be he from where he may.
Tho country has grown too large to
make IL SO m 1ch matter of State as
the man. Besides, Mr.. Bayard would
be as likely to carry New York as Mr..
Tilden. and he 10 the man ON whom all
the dissa tistied elements of the opposing
p irty could concentrate without the loes
of self respect. W. f. QUINBY.

SECOND EDITION
What Grants Advocates Say.
From the N. Y. Era.

THREE REASONS FOR GRANT.
The Tribune has been asking the
following question in various forms {:
Twill some Third Termer give a
first-class reason why Grant and
Grant only should be nominated
At present the whole force of the
Grant party is devoted to unsuccess-
tul efforts to answer the reasons why
he should not be-"
No one has seen fit to answer this
question, and there does not seem to
be any particular reason why it
should be answered. General Grant
is going to be nominated at Chicago.
The best judges in the country de-
clare this; such judicious men, for
instance, as Hon. j. d. Cameron,
Hon. Roscoe Conkling, Hon. Matt.
Carpenter, Hon. A. II. Stephens,
Gen. B. F. Butler, Judge Lochran,
Col. Forney, Hugh Hastings, Rev.
I'll. w. Beecher, Col. Robert Inger-
soil, etc. And such newspapers
affirm it, as the New York Times, the
Boston Traveller, the Sprinfeld
Union, st. Louis Globe-Demo ocrat, (,
Chicago Inter- Ocean, Buffalo Express,
Buffalo Commercial, New York Com
merciG Advertiser, etc. These men
and these newspapers have been
heretofore accurate in their conclu-
sions and there is no good reason for
supposing them to be less so at the
present juncture. We are perfectly
willing to 60 on record as coinciding
with the judgment thus expressed. In
fact, we may modestly assume to be
in the advance of most of these,
the Era having been run during the
past year ON the thery thus demon
strated. There would seem to be
no necessity for an announcement of
reasons why General Grant should
be nominated, in the face of the
authority we have given. There are,
however, many excellent reasons for
this act on the part of the Republi-
can party, and to satisfy the anxious
mind of the Tribuue, we will give,
say three of these. First, it is a
pretty obvious fact that no Republi-
can besides Gen. Grant can carry the
State of New York, and the State of
New York is nececessary to success.
Against the popular feeling in favor
of Senator Conkling's preferences,
Sherman and Blaine would be with
out q sufficient following in this
State. Second, the election is GER
tain to be so close, that even with
New York, the carrying of certain
Southern States is likely to become
necessary for success. Prominent
concede that General
Grant can carry at least four South
ern States, and it is absolutely GER
tain no other Republican candidate
can possibly carry one Southern
State. Third, it is recognized by
both Republicans and Democrats
that the colored vote South and
North will be solid for General
Grant and that no opposition or re-
anywhere can prevent this
vote from being effective. On the
contrary, no other Republican can
didate can hope to cary the Southern
colored vote. Against any other
but General Grant, the
Democratic party can perfectly con-
troll it. These are three out of many
why General Grant should |
oe nominated at Chicago, and why |
le will be.
