The Republican party has had
control of the Federal Government
for 90 years, and during that time
its officcrc have received in salaries
and fees from the honest tax-pay-
ers, !mero than four thousand mill
ions q dollars-a sum so great that
the mind can scarcely compre-
shend. Whether or not this large
sum of money las been fairly
earned, We do not ut this time pro-
pore to discuss; hut we do ask, i'll
the name of common justice, have
not the Republican ofliec-holdcrs
been we'll paid fer all the services
which they have rendered, and hus
not the time como for IL change Of
Rulers? No party long in power,
no difference how corrupt or eX-
travagant, will eyer reform its own
abuses. Tho Republican party
since 1861 las wasted and inisap-
piled millions Of the peoples mon
ey, and will continuc 10 do so, SO
long us it remains in power. Ex'
travagancc begets extravaganza,
and persons long accustomed to
use other peoples money, become
indifferent to expenses, ard often
times expend it as though it be-
longctt to them, and with a much
more liberal hand. Hence the he.
cessity, for the publication and
pcrpotuity of Republican Govern
mont, that there 10 two parties in
government, and frequent changes
in lis administration. Where
there are two parties Of equal polit'
ical strength in the government, the
one is u check or monitor to watch
over the other and displnce il when
it strays from the path of duty.
Our Government, Units Administra-
ton, needs reform; The iepubli-
can party, by its long reign of
power, llas become corrupt, and
n change Of Rulers is needed for
tho welfare Or the Republic.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.
Editor Democrat.
A letter was written to a gentle
man here some days since, charg.
ing that a brother OF the Democrat.
ic candidate for Governor in Indi.
ana was defaulter. Just what
that had to do with the election
was not seen, and no ono paid any
attention to IL. But the matter
has got into the papers, and in de-
fault of any kind ofargumcnt, is
being used by The Radicals. The
fact seems to be that m attempt is
made to hold tho conference.-the
accused ;;man- for taxes not col
lectcd by any ono, or which were
collected by his predecessor in of
flee. This is all that can be made
from the published statement. as
! said before, IL has nothing 10 do
q | . IL
with the election. If there has
been any detulcation, tho city or
county ofwhich the man is Treas
uref should set rid OF him as m
official, and recover its money from
him and his bondsmcn. But there
seems to have been no defalcation.
Apply THO rule laid down by the
Radicals in this case to Federal
affairs and there has hardly been
an honest Government officer since
tho war commenced. And in every
State, county, city, and town 1.-THE
Union there arc enough defalca-
tons TO square up all public debts.
The Treasurer Of the United States
has lately boastcd that not a dol
lar has been lost by dishonesty in
the collection Of Government rove
nue. for tho past fiscal year, I
don't know how that may be, for
the only authority for it is state
mcnt issued for partisan purposes,
but every intelligent Washington
an knows that if the full revenues
of the Government, from all sour
ccs, had been collected, tho public
debt would have shown q vastly
larger reduction thanit does show.

General Grant left Chicago yesterday
for Springfield, ILL.,, at the invitation Of
the citizens, 10 visit the home of Abra-

Lincoln by committee, and in response
to an address, he said it would "always
be the greatest desire of his life to sec
the people of the North and South
thoroughly reunited and all sectional
strife done away with and forgotten. !"
On arriving at Springfield, General
Grant was taken to the Executive Man

MEssas. EDIToRs:-One of the most
interesting questions of the present.
among Delaware Republicans is, who
is to be congressional nominee! Seeing
that this important matter was being
overlooked have thought quiet inqui-
ry would develop an opinion, upon this
subject, devoid OF partisan preference
and petty prejudices. Would show
not only the common will, but the cool
or and better judgmsnt of the men
who are most interested. | am not
speaking Of the politicians. It IL Gift.
cult even to get cooler non partisan
judgment from them.
The sentiment of Kent and Sussex
county is to support New Castle coua-
ty's choice. A man with more honesty
than brilliance. Naming fair and hon
orabls man. A man whose patriotism is
undoubted; whose party record shows a
devotion to principle that subordinates
individual ambitions and obliteratss
hates. A man who represents a mar
row class; is neither high or low but
represents the trusty mediocrity. Such
a man is Robert c. Fraim, ESQ. | claim
the honor of nominating him, and know
whereof I speak when say he will
make an acceptable candidate. 1t would
be well for the Republicans of Della,
ware to talk this matter over tomorrow

Friends M Getting.

About fifty persons attended the
Friends services in the Institute Hall
last evening. Rev. Jonathan Rhoads,
after prayer, addressed the meeting. He
mentioned the necessity Of being saved
and urged them especially to be aided
by the Holy Spirit, to have their hearts
changed from nature unto grace. II
this work was wrought in them they
would love God above all and their
neighbors better than themselves.
Their inolinations and their desires
would be changed and they would be-
come lights TO the world. Religion is q
simple thing which even children can
understand. He urged them to see
that they had salvations in their souls,
to let their lights shine not only in the
relie ious meetings, bat in their every
day life. He referred to the intemper-
ance and the fashions of the present
day and pleaded with his hearers 10
forego them, to take up their crosses and
set a good example in those respects.
Let US who are Christians lit our hearts
to God that the vices and follies which
beset youth may be done away. A
conservation of heart is needed, II this
is done we will find out of what we had
no conception. Thomas Steward spoke
for some minutes upon the effect of re-
jscting Christ. After aprayer had been
offered the congregation was dismissed.
