ALARM TELEPHONES

The Presidents of the various fire
companies, together with Chief Engineer
Iazewell, met at the Water Witch en-
glne house last evening for the purpose
OF examining into the workings Of the
American Fire Alarm Telegraph. Mr..
John V. Chrlsty, of the Fame Hose, was
called to the chair and Ezra Lukens. of
the Weccacoe, was made Secretary.
One Of the alarm boxes had been
placed IN the parlor of the engine house.
which was connected by wire from the
Telephone Exchange, Third and Market
streets.
Mr.. w. T. Westbrook was present and
gave very satisfactory explanation of
the working of the instrument. He
stated that the necessary boxes, gongs,
batteries and wires for the city would
cost about $4,000, and after the first year
the cost would only amount to about
$1,000 including man at the exchange.
III the city should see fit to make the pur-
chase, it would have Fire alarm Tele-
graph, that it cost from l0,200 to $l5,-
600 to maintain each year in other cities.
The working of the instrument was
very satisfactory to the Presidents, and
1t was decided that each company peti-
tion council to make this needed improve
ment.

WILMINGTON, July 9th, 1880.

WILMiNdTON, July 2t0, 1850.
MIR. EDIToR:-It is not the mud throw
ing that so hurts the tender feelings of
the Republicans but 1t is because the
stains cannot be rubbed out. That causes
the. party to so howl because the Demo
Gratis try to impress on their political
friends the Credit Mobilier and De.Goly-
or record Of their Presidential candidate.
1t seems strange to me how any one on
comparing the record of Garfield with
that Of Hancock can help see the vast
difference between them. The one
who on several occasions, has been tried
and found wanting In almost every re-
sponsible position In which he has been
placed, and yet the Republican party
think he ought to be supported and plac-
ed at the head of the Nation where he
can have greater scope to play the hand
which has always cen against the best
interests of the people. The ether who is
acknowledged even by his enemies to be
one who is without blemish ana ON whom
they've may safely rely In time oftrouble,
and honor in time of peace, Hancock the
soldier statesman, the Presidential candi-
date OF the Democratic party, he above
all Others is to be preferred as the best
representive, Of the American idea of
liberty or military subordinate to civil
power; tet us one and all show by our
votes in Novcmbe. how we respect the
man who in the most trying moments
was "never ashamed to acknowledge
that he was Democrat" but always up
held the best interests of the party.

A Catholic View OF IL.

WHAT THE BOSTON" PILOT, HAS TO SAY
OF THE CASE OF MRS. sURRATT.
Boston Pilot, July 8.
There is one pointin the career of Gen.
Hancock on which it may seem proper
that the PI lot should say a special word,
albeit it is 10 refnte as false and silly q
charge as ever emanated from the brain
of the widest scribbler in all Bohemia.
1t Is the assertion that Gen. Hancock
has lost fav vor among the Cathohc part
of our population by his connection with
the execution of Mrs. Surratt, and this
sapient opinion is based upon the fact
that Mrs. Surratt was a member of the
Catholic Church.
In the first place, it is proper to say
that General Hancock's connection.
with the affair was solely that ofan Off
Ger obeying his orders. Had we, ,Or any
ether Catholic in the world, been In
General Hancock's place, our duty
would have been to do as he did, whether
the condemned woman were Catholic
or Protesta pt, heathen or infideL A
Catholic knows no distinction of creed
in the performance of his duty; he quar-
rels with nc man for the execution Of
his duty: he has no more sympathy for a
man or woman put to death Justly or un-
Justly because the victim is q Catholic
that If he OF she were of any other re-
ligion or no religion.
Herein the Pilot, through no organ,
believes 1t vo.ces the opinion Of COM
mon sense and true religion. Catholics,
Of course, laugh at the foolish idea hat
they should bear III will on religious,
grounds to any one connected, however
closely, witt the execution OF a Catholic
woman; but there are great many fools
In this world, and a very common speci-
men is the man who supposes other peo-
pie to he influenced by ideas and ties
which would have no weight at all with
himself in simular sQsse. While we
have yery little respect for any man who
carries his religion iHto his pohucs, We
should have nothing but conte mpt for
the one who carried both into the sacred
halls of justice and law.
