Her stony calmness was all gone now.

have the sweet revenge which the law

THE ELECTIONS.

Democratic Victory In Delaware.
The little election" for assessors and
inspectors in Delaware favored the Demo-
Gratis in Wilmington yesterday and they
paraded the streets and made as much
noise as the Republicans did in September.
The total city vote on assessors foots up :
Democratic, 1850; Republican, 1852 !;
Democratic majority, IS. On the inspec-
tors ticket the Republicans have MAORI
ty of ia. The discrepancy is chiefly at
tributable to some cutting of the Republi-
can assessor candidate in the Seventh ward.
The election passed off quietly, with the
exception of a lively fight between whites
and blacks in the Ninth ward, in which
several heads were cut. Returns from a
majority of the hundreds indicate Demo-
cratic majority of 200 in New Castle coun-
ty, 500 in Kent and $50 in Sussex, about a
thousand in the State.
Gain for tho Democrats In Connecticut.
OF AS towns heard from Is have been
carried by the Republicans, IS by the
Democrats and are evenly divided. There
are but few changes from last year. The
Democrats claim gain in the aggregate.
Local issues predominated in most of the
towns and the result has little political
significance. New Haven and Bridgeport
held no election. In Stratford VIM. Stan
kard, Republican, was arrested for buying
votes and held in 1000 bail ON two
counts.

That Business Mems Meeting.

Our Republican fellow citizens who
thought it would lie such an effective
idea to get up an organization of the bu-
siness men, to march in the Garfield pa.
rade and to preach in the Garfield cru
SADIE, have our sympathy in the failure of
the idea to pan out according to expecta-
tiOn. 1t is like a great many plausible
looking ideas that don't work we'll when
they get down to practice. If every
good idea on the surface proved
to- be good at the kernel this
world would be too delicious a
place to livein entirely, and would be no
longer only a fieeting show for mans de-
lusion given, full Of disappointment
and misery, and but penetential place
of discipline for happy hereafter.
That is what was the matter with
Chairman Cessna's nice canal boat and
amiable mules. The idea undoubtedly
looked we'll on one side but it didn t
stand continued inspection, seeing that
canal boat is slow sort of thing for
live campaign and terribly out of
fashion anyway. Away back in the log
cabin days it might have worked, joined
on to the hard cider enthusiasm. And
this, by the way, would have been good
year to load up the canal boat with that
seductive beverage; apples being so
plenty. If Chairman John had not been
too good temperance man to think of
it he might even have floated his canal
boat in cider. But probably even that
would not have saved it. There are
some things that saltpetre won't save !;
and they look promising too, and you
can hardly tell what is the matter with
them; but they do go off in the most
surprisingly sudden way and in the bloom
of their youth there they lie, pretty to
look upon, but ashes to the lips, like a
Dead Sea apple.
That was the case with that " busi-
ness men's'' meeting. The forty "busi-
ness men" who assembled together did
not seem to have the g hang'' of their
idea quite at their finger ends. Prof.
Wickersham, who is not conspicuous
business man, seemed to be most fully
impressed with the business idea of pre-
senting Garfield as the business mems
candidate while our tail friend Peters
was intent upon getting the business
men to walk in martial style with heads
up in the torchlight procession, headed
by band of music and jingling
their cash at every step; and to aid the
crushing demonstration, an enthusiastic
business man who has store in stable
on an alley moved that they turn out in
black clothes and tall silk hats. The

TIE awkward squad of so-called'' bu-
siness men, who are frantically but
vainly attempting to get up scare and
induce business men to fear that their
pecuniary interests will suffer if Han
cock is elected, seem to forget the fact
that in the summer of 1868, when they
were trembling in their boots and pack
ing up their valuables and shipping them
to Reading, Philadelphia and other
places of safety, Hancock and his legions
were fighting ard bleeding at Gettysburg
to save these business men from the
wrath of Longstreet and Mosby and
Key and Ackerman, who are now the
recipients of fat offices at the hands of
fraudulent Republican administration.

THE sensible communication from
GA Hancock Republican Soldier'' which
we print today contains suggestions
that will commend themselves to fair
thinking people of whatever political
faith. lie points out the hollOwness of
the Republican outcry against the solid
South, when that portion of the country
is manfully supporting the brave gen
eral who successfully fought to suppress
their rebellion, and lie queries how there
can be bar erected between the two
great portions of a common country on
political matters, while there exists
community of interest in business, ma
terial, religious and social relations. The
inquiry is an apt one, and the answer
will be rendered in no uncertain tones );
for the country, like our correspondent,
is tired of sectiOnalism in politics, and
will signify the desire for reunion in the
election of General Hancock next month.

A Submarine Volcano.

ora surveying cruise in the Pacific ocean
he saw submarine volcano rise near the
island of San Alessandro. First volume
Of vapor arose as though vessel were
blowing off steam; then breakers appear
ed, and finally ''an immense black mass ~
was upheaved. Mud and ashes were
emitted, the elections being accompanied
by dull reports and a suiphurous odor.
Several days were spent in reconnaissance
and one of the boats of the Alert was sent
to within hundred yards of the volcano.
A reef or island was found to be in pro-
cess Of formation, and specimen of the
bottom was obtained. At night flame s
were seen issuing from the spot. Sound
ings were obtained in from ) to 90
fathoms. The volcano bears north, a de-
grees west, three miles distant from the
landing place, on the southwest end of the
island.

company quivered at the hesuggestion, and
when Clothier Myers dilated upon the
business idea that all this businessmen s
glory would call upon business mems
cash, they silently stole away; and
Brother Wickersham had to scratch
around for his committees among busl-
ness men who were not there.
1t was notable of this business mems
meeting that the business men were alb
sent, and that the few in attendance
were stalwart Republican politicians.
The meeting might have been styled the
Hog Ring meeting" or the Bull Ring
meeting," with more justice, because
there were more representatives of these
rings present than of the business ring.
And thus was proved the fallacy of this
business idea and that is why it came
to grief so soon and died in its young
bloom. Pledging the business men to
Garfield was an excellent idea; but it
was desperately spoiled by the average
style of the business men who were turn
ed up to support it. Its beauty could
not have been damaged worse by the
continent smallpox.

the background is composed of flowers or
foliage that are emb!ematic of the great
master, his music or his nationality. The

noticeable, is; dedicated to St. Cecilia,

NORTH AND SOUTH.


Considerations for Intelligent People.
For the ISrKLLI0EUCER-
l am q veteran soldier and fought faz
three years against the Confederates when
many of the loudest-mouthed politicians
who are denouncing Hancock were skulk-
ing at home. 1 am disguised with the
conduct of some of my late fellow Re-
publicans who are trying to keep alive
sectionalism, and who are forever denounc,,
ing the South whose worst fault now seems
to be that it is solid for the election to the
presidency of one of the bravest generals
who fought against it. When l saw the
alacrity and hearty good will with which
the South rushed to his support 1 made up
my mind to give my vote to the cause of
reconciliation and reform. The longer the
campaign has continued and the more
thoroughly the Republican policy has de-
veloped, the more fixed I have become in
this opinion. To listen to the speeches,
the newspaper arguments and the curb
stone chatter of our Garfield Republi-
can friends, one would think that
people of the North have no kim
ship, nor interest, nor community of feel
ing with the South. have observed from
the Reformed Church Messenger that the
Potomac synod of that church is to meet
in Woodstock in the Shenandoah Valley.
So there must be some persons down there
engaged in the Christian work of this de-
nomination. And there are Catholics and
Mcthodists and Baptists and Presbyteri-
ans and all other denominations. If the
people of those states are fit to dwell with
us in Christian fellowship and brotherhood
and to partake of our religious communion,
why not to participate with us in political
association There are good Free-Masons
in the South, and Odd Fellows, and Amer
ican Mechanics, and Knights of Pythias,
and members of many societies which
have branches North! How can We con-
sistently recognize SO many of the people
of the South as brothers in the Lord and
in these fraternal associations how can
we deal buy and sell and trade with them,
aud yet presume in political affairs to ex'
clude them from the consideration which
We claim for ourselves? There is neither
Christianity, common sense nor patriot
ism in the Republican argument. NJ
