Yesterday forenoon Capt Sam Thornton re-
ceived telegram from Evanston, stut1ng that

johnson's telegram is that the 4. 3. King was

DEPARTURES FOR BELOW.
Tho continued favorable news from the Straits
backed by n;prospect OF Il lovely day and q fair
sailing breeze, led several OF the many grain
laden vessela that have crowded the various
branches Of Chicago River for several
months past to tow out and mako
sail for Buffalo. The first to depart was the
Owasco, laden with q, ,4H bushels Of corn. The
tug Hackley towed her out Of the harbor short-
" before 10 o'clock in the forenoon. An hour
later the tugs Campbell and Constitution towed
the Sun Diego out from her moorings near
Wells-strect bridge. The San Diego is lnden
with 81 GOO bushels Of corn. The schooner F. ".
Clifford, with U,2O3 bushels Of corn on board,
followed at nooE to,Ted by the tug L. B. john
son, and ut O'Clock the Rutherford B. Hayes
left also, towcd by the tug Hackley- The Hayes
has n cargo Of 5000 bushels OF corn. This
comprised all OF the vessels that made start,
and 1t should be added that the des-
tinarion Of each Of them IS Buffalo. 4 NUM-
ber Of others were ready to go, but did not start
because Of the prospect Of northery gale.
The schooner G. c. Barnes would have left had
the tugs been uble to pull her of the bottom
near Wells-strect bridge. The schooners Thomas
Fl. Rowland and Ganges were towed down to the
lower harbor lust evening, SO as to be ready to
sail to- morrow should the weather favor them.
Thus far no propellers have left for the Lower
Lakes beyond the Northern Transit liners Grant,
State and Champlain. It was expected how
ever, that the steam-bnrge james Davidson
would leave about midnight last night

INDICATIONS OLA NoRTHER.

INDICATIONS OF A NOKTHEK.
The weather yesterday clearly Indicated the ap-
proach Of a norther. The rnys Of the Sun were
fairly scorching, warm southwest wind carried
occasional patches Of threatening clouds
across the sky, and the barometer ranged
at low point. Besides, quito current set in
and out of the river at intervals, plntnly fore
telling the existence of Il northerly wind at the
foot of the lake. Last evening the clouds be-
gun "bankang" heavily along the northern
horizon, as II preparing to hurl themselves back

The FINANCIAL POSITION of the
country is seen to have just now some
peculiar elements, but the indications
of continued prosperity are all favora-
BILE. OF the 100000, 900 OF United
States bonds held to secure bank cur
rency, s2oO, 900, 900 is in 5 and per
cents falling due next July. The
question is whether the banks will
take the money on these bonds, or
whether they willput up 4 per cents Cor
8 psr cents if such were offered) in ex-
change, and continue to circulate their
notes upon that basis. The bank cir
culation stands now at $342 900, 600,
and is practically stationary. The ma
tional bank system is a wise and con-
servative system, and the banks must
content themselves with a rate OF
profit corresponding to the greatly re-
duced risk. The existing currency
amounts to $1,212, 900, 900, or $24. 25
cents per capita, IS more than it was
in 1870, and nearly double what it was
in 1880 and in 1880, per head of popu-
lation. OF this amount in round mum
bers, $500, 900, 900 is in legal tenders
and national bank notes, nea Ily half
and half, and $500, 600, 900 in gold and
sfster coin. This is the most extra
ordinary stock of the precious metals
ever above ground in this country and
is divided thus, 1870, 900, 900 gold and
$3.50, 900, 900 silver. The banks re-
port $l14,000,000 in gold and the
Treasury $13S,0OO,0OO, leaving the
absorption of gold in popular cireula-
ton at less than $4,000, 900. II
from the total amount of currency al
above stated $1,212, 900, 600, is sub.
tracted the total amount Of paper and

IN Philadelphia yesterday a practi-
cal step toward the solution Of the car
fare question was taken in the prelim-
mary trial of what are known as "Her-
die coaches" These coaches are light
one horse vehicles. seating eight per-
sons. the fare being five cents. They
are built low to the ground and are
very easily entered by side door in
the rear. But they are in nowise equal
to the street cars for comfort and con-
venience. The ladies especially find
in the cars the more ample room for
the folds OF their rich dresses as well
as for safety of conduct. The cars
will no doubt come down to five cents
in the end. But it should be remem-
bered that they are the greatest con-
venience ever offered the working peo-
pie. Beside the car companies pay
$50 year tax for each car; and are
required to keep the whole street in re-
pair. All Of this the coaches are ex-
empt from, while they use the street
rails which the cars have laid at their
own expense. This looks hardly fair
or honest.
These coaches do not take passen
gers all over the city as many sup
pose they would. They merely run up
and down certain streets. They are
ow confined to Broad street above
Market and Market street. When q
person goes from the Baltimore depot
it is still cheaper to buy an exchange
ticket than it would be to ride TO Mar
ket street and take o coach.

risd the amendment to the Con-
stitution making only plurality Of

The point is again raised in popular

NOT By TH. WILL OF THE MA

NOT By THE WILL OF THE MA
JoRITY.-Under the laws ~ they ex-
ist and are enforced, Garfield may occu-
py the Presidential chair for the next
four years. But he will not do SO by
the viii OF the majority Of the voters
OF this country a. 1t was constituted.
Gen. Garfeld's election cannot be re
garded ss emanating from free and
untrammelled expression Of the people.
Gen. Garfield owes bis election to the
one hundred and seven thousand office
holders and the endorsements thrown
around the polls by the election laws
passed to prevent free and unbiased
expression Of the voice Of the people
and 70 the additional 800, 900 votes en-
forced through war measures from
manumitted slaves aud free negroes In
many Of the States who were non-
voters until 1872. We remind our
Democratic friends Of the fact that since
these measures were passed, and their
adoption were enforced upon the coun-
try through the fundamentally OF the
war spirit the white people have gath
cred to the Democratic party In such
numbers as to overcome even the 500
700 additional negro votes, and in 1875
put the Republican party In the minority
Dy over 250,000 votes. Ex sting facts
show that no party ever met the views
Of the people more fully than the
Democracy. But it could not everco ne
she combinations Of capital that were
formed against IL during the last four
or five weeks of the late campaign,
assisted as its opponents were by the
whole force OF the United States govern
msnt embracing as we have shown be-
fore fully one hundred and fifty thous-
and men included In the civil aud mill
tary positions, all heavily sAlaried, inter
ested in keeping their places for four
years from the 9TH Of March. Mr.. Gar
field will then take his seat and we hope
discharge the duties of the great off 70
to the satisfaction Of the country, and
in such manner as to benefit the whole
Union and restore confidence and give
peace and prosperity TO every part of it,.
Fer this is what the people want, and
We believe would have secured by tie
election Of Hancock. Let us hope that
Garfield will be as safe ard patriotic in
the discharge Of his great trust although
be IL not placed in Office by the will of
the majority of the people freely ex-
pressed.

Me-. BRADFoRD's silly imputation
upon the Democracy of Delaware
dwindles into downright falsshood in
the face Of the facts. His language
admits of no escape from this position.
The Republican press has assumed to
prove his disreputable remark fitting.
But it falls into worse position than
ever Mr.. Bradford assumed. When
we pointed to the fact that the exist.
ing constitution and laws were form
edfor over half q century ago this was
il met with the assertion that the men
who sustained the constitution and
laws lived in another age and thus
it is insinuated that Charles Polk, John
M. Clayton, Willard Hall and the men
who formed the constitution Of Della
ware were semi-barbarous. The
charge must be nailed as a falsehood
direct and sure, or the charge of
''ssmi. .barbarism" must also be made
against George Washington, John
Adams, Alexander Hamilton and men
Of their day, and later still it must rest
against Abraham Lincoln, and the
men who surrounded him and filled his
Cabinet, because all of the matters
charged to the account Of the men of
Delaware to render them ameanable to
"semi-barbarism," rested against Lin
ooln, since he offered to continue slave.
ry with all the then existing laws in
the several seeded States if they
would return to the Union.
The "semi-barbarism of the Demo.
crasy" has consisted in maintaining
peaceful relations with neighbors in
stituting and enlarging the publ,
school system establishing colleges
and taxing themselves to support suel
institutions maintaining the indi
gent poor, taking care Of the blind an,
educating the deaf and dumb payinI
the public debt building and rebuild
ing Stateicapitol, court houses, waite
works and public school houses, all c
which the Republican party failed t
do for white people, and but now pre-
tends that it wants to get into powe
to show its eivilizing tendency by rur
ming the State in debt and taxing th
whites to build school houses for ne
groes or forcing them into the whit
public schools Of Delaware as it ha
forced them into the public schools
Pennsylvania.
The Democratic party has govern,
Delaware wiser andlmore economical
than the Radicals have governed al
