The Democratic papers are lout in
their condemnation Of the bAueful habit
of Republicans bsying up votes bat
they with their accustomed obstinacy
refuse to pluck the lean cut Of their
own eyes. We do not know wEethe
the Republicans purchased voleS or
not at the recent election. They may
have done 30, and II they did the act is
to be deprecated and should be con.
dsmnsd. IL is not likely, however,
that the buying Of votes was all on one
side, The Democrats would hardly
stand by and see their man leaving
them one BY one without making some
effort to save them, especially as the
purch asable white material belonged
to their family. We do not know how
true it is but 1t is nevertheless positively
asserted that the Democrats made q
tremendous effort to buy up portion
Of the oolored vote in New Castle Coun.
ty, and that they succeeded in buying
q few in the Eighth Ward in this city,
and in Red Lion and St. Georges Hun
dreds. 1t is asserted positively that
IS high as Sl5 was paid to Oolored nep
for voting the Democratic ticket and
$50 was paid to other colsrsd men for
services rendered in various ways to
the Democracy. How many colorei
men sold themselves is hard to determ
inc, but where Hundreds Of white
men make q business at every cleo
ton OF selling their votes it is placing
the coored nan very high in the scale
Of political morals to suppose there were
not some amongst them who could
be tempted to sell their votes.
1t can be established beyond doubt,
that white men were offered not only
money for their votes by the Demo
Gratis, but they were offered tons OF
coal, barrels Of -four, pairs Of boots,
silk hats, coats and even whole suits
II they would bat vote the Democratic
ticket. The whole system, however,
should be condemned by every honest
man, and every man who sells his vote
for consideration as we'll as the man
who buys it should be punished. As
the Democrats are now as they have
been in power for the last twenty-five
years or more in the State, they should
pass law to check the evil or cease
talking about the corruption Of tho
ballot through the purchase and sale
Of votes. No law upon this subject
can be too strict even to the disfrsn-
chisement of the vster for tern OF
years, until he learns to properly ap-
preciats the election franchise and casts
IN honest, intelligent vote. As the
Democrats know Of So mucb corruption
through tbs purchase Of yotss by the
Republicans, let us see If they will
pass q Law this coming winter to pre-
vent it. We can safely guarantee the
vote Of the Republican delegation from
New Castle County for such law.

To DAY IS to settle the controversy in
regard to the appointment Of S Janitor
for the new Court House. The most Of
the members of the Levy Court were in
New Castle yesterday and were button
holei every few minutes alternately by
W. II. Lse, J. P. Tawressey and Mr..
Smith the present and gentlemanly
Janittr of the old courthouse and crier
Of the court. The court, and the
county officers want Mr.. Smith to be re-.
tanned, but several members Of the
Levy Court and the leading Democra-
tic politicians Of this city want Lee to
be appointed that be may be rewarded
for the distinguished services he has
slteA dy rendered the party. Further
more Lee would te a very handy kind
Of q man 70 have hanging around,
when anything is to be done that wont
bear strict investigation. We believe
Mr.. Tawie.sey is a very honorable man
but not having been instrumental in
olecting bogus Councilmeu and bogus
inspectors his chances for appointment
are not the most fAttering.

PARIS. Jan. 3.-The Indictment weather
which Paris has experienced so far this
winter came TO sudden termination on
Thursday last, in the shape of a thaw,
which softaned the ice in tho Seine and
produced freshet. The river rose rapidly
and the miIdness of the weather to-day,
which resembles more.a forenoon in May
than at the beginning OF the year, had the
effect OF completely breaking up the ice
over which so many thousands have
crossed during the past month. The Seine
has now become roaring torrent, spread
Ing from shore to shore and dashing huge
masses OF broken ice against the abut.
ments OF bridges. The devastation prom.
iseS 10 be far greater than that in January,
1871, when the water rose so high that
steamboats, could not pass under the
bridges, aud the streets OF lOw.lying en-
virons OF the city were covered with water
to the depth of several feet. The greatest
alarm exists for the safety OF the t'ent dcs
Invalides, which crosses the river between
the Trocadero and the Invalides, which
has been for some time In course OF re.
newal. The reconstruction Of the bridge
was well under way. A temporary bridge
built OF wood, which had been erected,
was broken into fragments last night by
ice, and swept away. Communication
was completely shut of at that point.
The scene along the quays this after.
noon is picturesque and exciting. 'rIous'
ands OF anxious people line tho wall along
the water front, watching the rushing tor
rent and huge masses OF Ice that are flung
with terrific force against the bridges and
speCulating whether the resisting power
Of the massive structures will be sufficient
to Withstand such gigantic blows

Of March, 1850. There are daily in

will drop the West and cleave only to the
East, putting all hope in New York, New
Jersey, and Connecticut. The Augusta

tor the Democrats to elect President

the vote OF New York would not be

0NE OF the indications OF the growth OF
the agricultural interests Of this county is
found in the steady increase Of toll receipts
upon the main highways used by
Ohio county farmers. The Cumberland,
or National Road, upon which large pro.
portion OF the agricultural productsof the
county are brought to market, shows
constant growth in toll receipts. From
the books OF Mr.. Allen Davis, one OF the
toll keepers, 1t appears that there has been

ColuMBus, O., January Sin letter to
prominent gentlemen in this city, q one
armed soldier at the Soldiers Home writes
the following:N
"And the great question now is, who is
to be the coming man; and more than all
else, the one who can lead us to victory?
Any one OF the candidates mentioned can
do Il but Grant. Grant, nereri can not
conceive ofau emergencylthat would make
the nomination OF Grant necessity, that
would be likely TO arise, and most certain.
ly he is not desirable. Give US Sherman
first, Blaine second, and Washburne third,
and believe the nomination OF either
OF them would be safe,and am confident
we could elect either. But Grant for a
third term will be hard and heavy load
to carry. Eight years OF his former adj
ministration to again arise up before the
people, specter-like, will lose us Ohio.
The German Republicans will never sup
port him, il the Democrats make anything
like decent nomination.

OF Delaware, against Grant? The Ger
mans would go for him en- nasse, and Ohio
would 90 to the dogs. No, no! Give US
anybody but Grant. Three terms will not

the East, and subsequently was sta

the army and his earnest advocacy Of the
rights OF the colored race brought him for

reputation he acquired as worker for his
church was rivalled by the reputation he
secured as political essayist. He was
one Of the churchmen who believe that
their sphere is not limited by their call

ready to discuss political as theological
questions. Most of our readers will
recollect his Grant letters and many of his
sermons and addresses dealt with things
temporal as much as things spiritual. His
