The GArneid Il N Q n Il n G nj, I,

The citizens of Wilmington have done
well in their dollar subscription for a
Garfield monument to be erected in this
city, but the fund should lot stop shoit t
of two thousand dollars. We feel con.
tident there are sufficient number OF
persons in Wilmington who think well
enough Of the memory of Garfield, and
who have dollars TO spare to run the
subscription up to the amount stated.
The tive hundred dollars that have been
subscribed and paid in already would
purchase a very handsome tablet to his
memory, but that is not what the PEG
pie of Wilmington want exactly. They
want a monument something ike the
soldiers monument, or if enough
money is raised, u higher one even than
that. We would suggest the opening
Of subscriptions in the towns down the
State, AZ there are many admirers of
the late President everywhere who
would no doubt he glad to contribute a
dollar for the erection of monument
to perpetuate his memory in tablets of
marble which outlast the tablets of
memory. We would suggest farther to
those having the matter in charge thai,
they lnaugurats thorough ose can
vass Of the city. There arc Large mum.
bers OF people who would willingly pay
a dollar each for such a purpose il
called upon, ard we doubt not that
there are are many waiting for the can
vassers to call. AS the good work has
progressed favorably thus far it should
not now be allowed to lack interest.
Let no backward step be taken. III the
meantime Duncan Bros, 2l4 Market
street, are prepared to receive all con.
tributions for the Garfield monument.

The TESTIMONY in the case of Pink
hen now on trial in the United States
District Court brings ont certain police
officers as naving been efficacious in the
clrcu alton of bogus tax receipts at the
last election. 1t seems that it took
three policemen to stock Godfrey 4
boarding house in the Second Ward
with bogus tax receipts, aud still the
Democrats were defeated. Well, we
guess the REPUBLICAN after all wasn' Z
far wrong when it charged certain
Democratic officials with manufacture
ing bogus voters. We never are far
wrong in such things.

rhe II. Il. District Court Farce.

The proceedings of the United States
District Court in the election cases are
doipg much to bring trials by jury into
disrepute There may have been some
ground for hesitancy on the part Of the
ljury for BRINGING in verdict of guilty
against Burrois, but there can be nc
excuse whatever for disagreement Of
the Jury in the case of Hickey and that
of Pinkhen. The evidence is clear and
pointed that they wilfully and openly
violated the election laws aided by
police officers and other leaders of the
Democratic party. But because there
happens to be some Democrats upon
the jury these Democrats deem it to be
their duty to shield these violators of
law in the interests of the Democratic
party, thereby placing party above
Justice and making trials by jury for
election cases a miserable farce. II y
Jury in murder case had half the
positive evidence they have had even
in the Burrois case, they would have
brought in a verdict Of guilty almost
without leaving the box, but in case
of illegal voting they disagree dividing
politically for and against the prisoner
thus shielding ballot box stufiing and
the mos. tagrant violations OF the
election laws. If Hickey and Pinkhen
whose guilt has been so fully and
plainly proven cannot be convicted, ii
is useless to try to convict anybody for
illegal voting or TOR committing frauds
upon the ballot box. 1t should be
distinctly understood that the law
by which juries for the United States
District Court are now chosen is pet
law of Senator Bayard's. Those who
accuse the Senator of never originating
any business in ,he Senate forget that
this jury law made 10 defeat justice and
protect repeators and election frauds, is
;be greatest effort OF his life. 1t works
ike q charm just as he expected it

CHANGE rs NOT REFORM.

The predominant subject of dis
cussion with the newspapers now is
the change of the constitution. We
are opposed to the whole thing.
This everlasting piddling with legis-
lation, this impatient interference
with the due course of administra-
ton is an evil of no small magnitude.
Before one constitution or system
of laws is settled, somebody raises
the cry, and another is substituted.
Laws have to be applied to the
wants OF society BY gradual adapta-
ton. The method of constant in
novation reminds US of the boy who
digs up his grape vine every day to
see whether it is growing.
We emphatically protest against
any more constitution making until
the constitution we have is tried, its
merits ascertained and its faults de-
finitely established.
We believe that the agitation
amounts to no more than q stir up
to keep up interest during the sum-
mer months. Times are dull. There
is no excitement. Shooting q Car
or President don't last more than
three weeks. But it is perilous
agitation. In order to make point
the editor has to draw dark pictures
of our getting along. That don't
help our getting along. 1t abstracts
onr people from the true means of
advancing their best interests and
recovering their prosperity. We
know men who have been standing
with their hands in their pockets
ever since the war, waiting for a
new constitution under which they
could go to work.
These people don't need a consti-
tuition, but they do need by
laws-showing the necessity Of work
and frugality to build up private
fortunes. The Press simply excites
idle expectations when it teaches
this class that their hardships are
the result of some political mal-ad-
justment instead of their own bad
management.
Brethern-let us stop all this
thing; the business of the country
is prospering-railroads are build
ing-noney is flooding our South
ern land from all the money-centers
the world is looking towards US
at last; and for conscience sake and
policy sake, let US turn our atten-
to the true methods of prosperity

:. A CONFIDENCE MAN.

"Lost to sight but to memory dear"
There are several people in this
community very anxious to learn
the whereabouts of one Prof. E. III.
Hoffman, alias Lemon, alias Dupree,
who took leave OF the town very
suddenly on Wednesday, the Goth
inst. The parties now wishing to
see this gentleman had become very
much attached to him during his
short sojourn here, and could they
discover his hiding place, would,
they sssert. very quickly attach him.
His modesty may induce him to
travel iacog, to avoid recognition.
but believing that such men should
be known, We give the following de-
scription of him from memory:
He is handsome young man,
aged % or thirty years; about 5 feet
Sinches in height; he has large dark
blue eyes; a beautiful suit of black
hair and daisy moustache, which
he usually keeps dyed black. but
the natural color is dark brown. He
has fair complexion and is always
iaulnessly attired. On the left lapel
of his coat he wears a miniature
gold harp, to which is joined pin
with a chain of the same material
The moustache is rather heavy and
iskept waxed a Ia Napoleon. He
is q German ard speaks English
brokenly.'
There is one gentleman who par
ticularly desires to see Hoffman.
This gentleman loaned Hoffman $23
to relieve temporary embarras-
ment, and which the G. III. failed to
return. His landlady would also
be pleased to note his return and
the liquidation of his board bill.
There are others, such as store
keepers, barkeepers. BARRIERS, wash
women and his ualet de cAambre, all
whom, in his haste to leave, he fail
ed 10 pay small bills they could Ill
afford to lose. We hold a draft on
himfor $5. sent US by gentleman
recetly gone to Texas: We are
anttorized to make a heavy dis
court for cash. We will sell the
cla;n for Is cents. He was onl y
vitIlus some two months, but in
thst6me he became quite q lion in
