Party Troubles.

REoPENrNe OF THE OLD STRIFE Be
TWEEN THE TWO FACTIONS OF THE
REPUBLICAN, PARTY.
The old internecine strife that for
years existed in the ranks of the Re-
publican party, is breaking out again,
and will soon wage as fiercely as ever.
The negro element is also breaking
away, and IL The tactics pursued by
the party managers at the Levy Court
are continued the negroes will soon be
in revolt.
1t will be remembered by all who at
tended the recent sessions of the Levy
Court, that all white Republicans who
went over to New Castle to be assessed
were thrust in ahead of the negroes,
even though the latter had been in
waiting for several days. On We'd
nesday afternoon, Dan'l Stewart from
the POstoffice, pushed forward with
two white Republicans, when he WAS
stopped by Tom Saville, who remon-
strated with him for trying to thrust
the white Republicans in ahead Of
their colored brethren, whep all hands
were equal before the law. "Go away"
said Daniel, loftily, "you are paid for
this work, but / come over here on my
own responsibility" Saville, who is
spunky as well as active, replied hotly,
and personal collision was imminent
but was fortunately averted by the
timely arrival of James L. Hawkins,
who pacifed the opposing parties.
This version of the trouble is not from
Democratic sources, but was told by a
stalwart Republican who witnessed
the scene.
On account of the trampling upon
their rights, about dozen negroes
left the court room, and many more
threatened to remain away from New
Castle altogether, and induce others to
do so if the outrage was repeated.
MINOR PARTY POINTS.
Some of the strongest of the old ring
Republicans refused to contribute to-
wards paying the expense of having
the negroes assessed at New Castle.
They say they are going to wait until
the nominations are made, as they do
not propose to pay for the assessment
of men who win be used to defeat their
friends at the nominations.
The tax receipts of the negroes
whose taxes were paid for 1879 are, it
Is said on good Republican authority,
safely slowed away in the safe at the
Postofice.
Soon the party will be engaged in a
spirited strife over the election of dele
gates to the Chicago Convention.
Grant has some strength among Della
ware Republicans as well as Blaine.

d Most Horrible InaprfsOss-
-' 2se7tf. A

WHITE WOMAN CAPTURED BY HER
coLoRED TENANTS AND SLOWLY STAR
vED-HER RESCUE.
A special from Charleston, 8. O., says:
A most singular case of imprisonment
and slow starvation, which, in these
pays, In crowded city, and on public
thorougbfare, seems almost incred' BILE,
was brought to hight in this city by a
municipal .sanitary inspector named
Poulnot, while engaged in his official
rounds.
II appears from his statement tha. he
inspected a house In Wall street, belong
ing % a lady named Happaldt, whose
mysterious retreatment had causedmuch
talk In the neigbborhood. The premises,
which were occupied by negroes, pre-
sented most filthy appearance, and
the inspector consequently made more
than usually rigid examination. All but
one or tbe rooms were readily shown.
but neither persuasion nor threats could
induce the negroes TO open door lead
ing into one OF the back rooms. Finding
words of no avail, Poulnot forced an en-
trance, and found himself in q badly
lighted, filthy apartment, in one corner
or which he discovered the crouohing
hgnre of white woman, whose semi
nuce appearance, emaciated features
able misery. Her story, though exceed
ingly strange, seems to be sustained by
facts She said that the negroes found
oD the premises we're her former tenants
who, about two years ago, deprived her
OF her clothing and locked her up in the
room in which she was found. From
time TO time they supplied her with
such scaut articles of wearing apparel
as would scarcely cover her nakedness,
and the food daily furnished was scarce
~ enough to tustain life, and of the
coarsest quality A constant watch was
kept over her but otherwise she was
kindly treated. The matter was prompt
ly reported to the city authorities, and
several kind-hearted ladies' took charge
of the unfortunate lady, whose family
was quite wealthy before the war. Her
troubles have somewhat affected her
mind, and though only 80 years of age,
she has the appearance of 80. She de-
cined to enter complaint against her
late Jailers, and they were consequently
merely elected from the premises and al-
lowed to go 1t large. The sole reason
given for their conduct was that they
did not want to pay rent.

Prof HOchkeppeJs Lecture.

AS Mr.. Hockeppel has resolved to
give bis lecture this month, II has been
suggested 10 give a short BY nopsis of the
head points upon which be will lay
stress. The general lecture will be q
discourse in favor of popular or natl ,na'
education, 1. e, in favor Of our public
school system in its complete form.
There Is confessedIy only one thing
upon which will depend the salvation
and the permanency of our constitution,
aud that one thing is q national school
system. This national or popular edu-
cation can be obtained only in public
schools when rised to the level Of perfec-
ton, governed by each individual State
and made uniform throughout the whole
country. Our present public school sys-
5em Is certainly good, but not yet per-
feet. Only when this shall be accom-
plished 1t will be possible for us to give
a national and uniform education to the
masses, the bulk Of the people, apoD
whom (by popular votei depend the
elections Of the country. 1t In in accord
-ance with the spirit of this century To
educate the masses and to give them as
high an education as possible. The peo-
pie of each State will soon see this ad-
vantage, and the State being guaran-
tee to them that their children be well
provided for, will willingly give up
their privilege aud eheerfullv submit
to what Is called 'tcompulsory edura-
tion." We want to educate the poor.
Joiling GLASS aud let Them partake Of the
same knowledge as the rich can obtain
for their money. The objection has
been made that II such a change even
would grove benefelent, IL would Heces-
sarily increa~e our taxes. This might
he 80 II we were to make the change at
once. 1t has TO be a complished. grad
ually aud car. fully, and 10 may be said
that in less than five years this system
would not only be- in perfect order, but
pay already an nsurious interest on the
capital invested, inasmuch as the coun.
try would be 30 much benefited. Mr..
Hochkeppel will furnish the necessarV
examples from history to prove the
above assertions.
Moreover he will lay down the rules
and regulatiyns upon which the system
is 10 be established, and as this lecture is
of such nature as to concern every one
OF our citizens, he calls respectfully
upon all trends of public education and
of literary taste to come and hear him.
The lecture is promised to be not enly
one of the greatest Importance aod
usefulness, but also one of the most in
terestiDg ever delivered In Wilmington.
He will speak In behalf of all classes,
and 1t is to be expected that the lecture
room in the Opera House will be we'll
filled on March 18th, at o'clock.

A YOUNG MAN ARRESTED ON sUsPICIoN
OF BEING ONE OF THE "ALLEeED"
HIGHwAYMRN.
Last evening a young man named
Lewis Henvis, was arrested on suspi-
cion of being one of the parties con-
cerned in the reported highway rob-
berry of George W. Whaleyn on the
Kennett turnpike on Wednesday eve
ming last. It appears that the warrant
was issued for his arrest on the state
ment of one of the persons who were
attracted to the spot by Mrs. Wha-
leyn's cries for help.
When taken to the City Hall he
made a statement in regard to the af-
fair, but denied that there was any at
tempt to rob Mr.. Whaleyn.t In regard
to being present at the time, he stated
that himself and young man named
Callahan were walking along the pike
on their way to make an evening call,
when Mr.. Toy came along in his car
riage, and Callahan being lame, Mr..
Toy stopped to take him. As he stop
ped his carriage, Mr.. Whaleyn came
along, when his horse ran against Mr..
Toys carriage. This frightened Mr..
Whaleyn's horse, and it began to rear
and plunge whereupon he grasped the
frightened animals head but not in
time to prevent the carriage to be up
set, and the occupants thrown out.
The accused resides in Mcdowell
vile, and his version of the affair is
accredited by all who know him, and
as he is a consistent member Of Mt.
Salem church, his friends do not be-
lieve that a robbery was ever intended.
He was arrested by officer Springer.
who so firmly believes in his innocence
that he went the young mans bail.
He will be given a hearing this even

EDITOR GAzErTEi@ 4 t.,e.. - 5'..,, M,,.-
Being one ofthe readers Of your valll-
able paper, l notice through its columns
another delegation from Wilmington,
under the generalship of Herseytsm and
Hd,okenstsn, has been over to New
Castle, TO try to bulldeze the Levy
Court in the interest of the poor, for
saken negro. ......
1 am surprised that such gentlemen
as comprise the Harlan q Hollings-
worth Co., and others mentioned In
your journal of the 10 inst, would lend
their influence IN trying 70 dictate TO
the Levy Court and override the laws
OF the State, for the purpose of putting
on the assessment list some six or eight
hundred nonresident negroes. The
Levy Court Is composed of sensible, in
teiligent gentlemen, and men who seem
to know what their duty is. As the
Legislature, in their wisdom, have made
the laws very explicit as regards the as
sessmtnts, think it would be disgrac-
ing the dignity of the court to allow
Hersey and his colleagues to intrude on
the valuable time of the court, and to
the detrimenL of gentlemen who have
business with that body.
There have been set apart times and
places where the Assessors could be
found, for the purpose of being assessed
and yet they falled-that is HeIsey and
his negro brethren-to come forward
and have their names put on the assess
ment list. Why did not these infiu-
entail gentlemen with all their influ-
ence, backed by the great court of these
United States, have those poor creatures
assessed then, instead of interfering
with the business Of the Levy Court,
and putting the county to an extra ex-
pense? However, 1t is to be hoped that
the Levy Court will continue 70 do its
regular business, as is laid down by law
and will not be intimidated by the
threats Of Herseytsm and Ha,oktnsism,
and perhaps these Ignoramuses will
learn that the members of the
Levy Court have yet some self-respect.
