The trial of Tilden for cheating the

down for April. 1t has been set down
for many previous occasions, but Til
denis lawyers have always managed to

Tilden appears to want is to give fair

Another Back 0ut.

The "Gazette," which we must dis
tinguish from the Bayard organ by
calling it the Democratic organ, has
made square back out of the position
it chose for itself in relation to the Levy
Court and the assessments. 1t now
says it never did advise the Levy Court
to assess those who were entitled to be
assessed, but that it said the other
business of the county could not be al
lowed to suffer. This is a mild way OF
toning down from an unpleasantly as
sumed attitude. If the "Gazette" did
not mean that the Levy Court should
by all the means in its power resist the
placing of names upon the assessment,
it unfortunately for itself created that
impression, and it now has to suffer the
humiliation of backing out of its self.
assumed position. 1t is true that it
never said in plain language: Seen
tlemen of the Levy Court, you must
not put the names of the Republicans
who come before you on the assessment
list" 1t was too wise to do that. But
when the Levy Court of Kent county in
order to accommodate itself and the
people both, set apart separate days on
which to get assessed, the "Gazette"
said the Levy Court Of New Castle
county could net afford to do that; that
there was other business which would
engage its attention which should take
and that if anything had
to be left urdone, that thing shoild
be the assessment Of voters. Oh, no,
the "Gazstte" rather intimated that
3 few names might be put on the
lists during intervals Of the Court,
but the idea of making any special
effort to accommodate these hundreds
If men who came before the court day
after day was preposterOus in the ex.
treme. Indeed it couldn't be thought
Of for a moment. Let the Levy Court
move along in its usual channel as it
1sed to do when but few appeared be-
for it to get assessed. This was the
advice of the "Gazette," and it knew
very well that if its advice was adopted
md followed cut very few persons
7Ould get on the assessment. How
aiming This arrangement is on a
,ar with the famous edict Of that paper
alling upon all the powers of the
State and the local cluis Of TIE De!2o-
ratio party to protect the negroes that
wanted TO vote the Democratic ticket.
The Gazette is more at home screech-
ng "nigger," and ifit is wise it will
lever venture beyond that little cir
circle, and then it will not y
lave the nortifcation of having to
flop over" and to back out of un-
leaaant dilemmas so often.

Gentlemen ofthe Levy Court say that

which to assess the hundr IDS Of uEas-
ssssed voters who might come before
them for that purpose; that there are

ed, Aims House to be inspe cted and lu.

it would SO trench upon the time in
which they have to do it that something
would have to 60 uldonp. This may
be 30, but if any thing is to be left un-
done why should that thing be The
assessment of voters. Gentlemen of the
Levy Court. in the multitudinous duties
which come before you there is nothing
more important than the assessment Of
voters. BY leaving a road uuviewed a
bridgs not examined, an aims. house un-
inspected and dogs unas5esSed no great
harm can come 10 the county, bat when
hundreds Of citizens humble though
many Of them be, come before you and
are not admitted to the full privilege
Of citizenship, Cne Of the most sacred
rights Of an American citizen is denied.
Why should the assessment Of voters
be made CT secondary importance to the
mending OF road or days wining
and dining a. the Aims House? Gentle
men, the franchise is the dearest right
of an American citizen, and he should
not be deprived Of that right. Our
forefathers fought for it in many a
bloody battle field and obtained it for
us, and nultitudts Of men LOW
living fought to maintain it that We
and our children after us might exercise
it.. The clothing Of the citizen with
the franchise if be desires it should
take precedence OF every thing else.
The President of the Levy Court
stated yesterday that men had come
from distant parts otthe county to have
some business transacted, and failing
to have IT attended to on account of the
time Of the Court Icing taken up with
the assessment OF voters, he went away
in bad humor. This was unfortunate,
Mr.. Bright, but whose business was the
most pressingt In that case one man
was disappointed, while on the ,other
hand hundreds of men seeking to be
clothed with the rights of full citizen
ship had been disappointed day after
day. The business Of the latter was
Daily Republican., 1880-03-10

Of more Importance than any other that
has yet been brought before the Levy
Court. That one man from Pencader
Hundred, or wherever he came from,
had no right to. monopolize the time Of
the Levy Court to the exclusion Of Hun
dreds of others who had at least equal
ly as pressing claims upon the notice
of the Court. Gentlemen of the
Levy Court, show no partiality unless
you set apart specific days on which
voters from the respective Hundreds
can appear and get assessed.

The Feder a, Election Law -.


The decision Of the Supreme Cour
OF the United States affirming the con
stitutionality of the Federal election
laws has been promulgated just at tn
right time-at the commencement of al
evident era of contemplated fraud upoI
the purity of the elections, the like o
which has never been known since tn,
birthday Of the American nation. L
comes like soothing panacea over the
troubled feelings OF that portion of the
people who yet love honesty at elections
and despise the stupendous frauds
which the coming Presidential cam
paign has commenced. 1t is not likely
that it will go 50 far as to make any
great change in the vote that is fore
ordained to be cast in the States of the
South that have been conquered by
shotgun companies, Ku -Klux-K -KaDs,
White Leagues and night riders, but
the decision shows that we still have a
government in more respects than
in name. It shows that though such
men as made our late city election the
veriest farce, may escape punishment
under the State laws, they can be called
to strict reckoning under the Federal
election laws for frauds at an election
for President or Congressman. The
decision declares the power OF Congress
to regulate elections of Representatives
In all particulars in which they may
require legislation, and to Go so by ex-
plicit and exclusive engctments, or by
the partial adoption of the regulations
made by the States; to provide for the
appointment of Federal officers to at
tend to the electors, and of MarsLals
and of Deputy Marshals to see to their
enforcement, and to vest such appoint
ments in the District Courts; finally it
declares the power Of Congress TO pro-
vide for the punishment Of any person
who shall violate the regulations made
by Congress or taken from State au-
thority. The decision is sweeping and
conclusive, meeting every point that
has ever been raised against the cleo
ton laws that has not yet been fairly
brought before the highest tribunal of
the nation.
As We have already said the decision
will be a source Of general satisfaction
to the country and goes far to insure
more honest and pga3eable election
than had hsen anticipated. It meets
the Garcelon fraud Of Maine with which
the Democratic Presidential campaign
was begun and il meets the frauds
which have been produced by dishon-
est assessors and collectors Of Delaware
which are not condemned by our Levy
Courts. The nation speaks through its
highest judicial authority, and thank
God it speaks On tie side oftruth, hon
esty and righteousness. Let tyranny
tremble.

WE HARDLY THINK the Levy Court
meant to be disrespectful to the hun
druds Of leading citizens of Wilmington
who signed petition asking that
separate and specific days be set apart
for the assessment of the hundreds OF
voters, who have up to this time been
refused that privilege, and yet the
members were afraid to do anything
which they feared might commit them
selves in favor of full and fair assess
ment. The hesitancy shown by the
Levy Court revealed the fact that tie
members were shackled by the letters
of party tyranny, and they were afraid
to do an independent act or think an
independent thought, and feeling thus
they allowed the petition to lie
upon the clerks desk without notice,
though urged by the President to take
some definite action. This makes the
third time the Levy Court has snubbed
the earnest appeals of leading citizens
for a fair assessment. First, when a
committee of Attorneys waited upon
The Court the first day of its session !;
second, when a large cOr:mittaa of the
business men OF Wilmington waited
upon it, and now when appealed to in
a general petition by hEndreds of lead
ing citizens. All right, gentlemen of
the Levy Court, go ahead, tie people
are noting your actions. The tide has
turned against you, and for every mai
that is kept off the assessment by your
action Democrat will take his place
and by his vote will condemn you.
