THE LEVY COURTS VISIT.

Thursday the members of the Levy
Court paid visit to Delaware City,
and inspected the marsh property OF the
st. Georges Marsh Company in that
neighborhooi. By an act passed at the
recent session of the Legislature, the
Levy Court Is authorized to pay a por-
tion Of the money expeEded for the pur-
pose of constructing dykes and cause
ways for the protection of the Company's
property. The reason assigned for thus
making public affair of an apparently
private enterprise, is that the company IS
work has reclaimed and made liable to
remunerative taxation over one thous-
and acres of marsh land, while the
causeways they constructed are really
public highways, so useful to public
travel that their obstruction by reason
OF the river overlooking is a serious det-
rlment. The expenditures caused by
disastrous overfows of recent years have
amounted to $4,000 and the sum OF
$4,000 is needed for the purpose OF
strengthening the canseways and build
ing rock guards for the dykes.
After thorough inspection of tEe
marsh property the members of the
Court dinsd with the Marsh Company
at Kidd's hotel, Delaware City.

BEACoNsFIELD's MoURNERs.
LONDON, April %, 1881.


About one hundred invitations to the
funeral of Lord Beaconsfield were sent
out yesterday. They include personal
friends of the deceased and representa-
tives OF foreign Powers. Prince Leopold
viewed the body on Thursday. 1t is
understood that the House of Commons
when 1t meets on Monday will pass a
vote of coincidence for the death of Lord
Beaconsfield, moved by Mr.. Gladstone,
and Immediately adjourn until after the
funeral. Nearly all the members of the
late Cabinet have expressed their inten-
ton to be present at the burial. Lord
Beaconsfield's coffin was closed and
fastened this morning. The face showed
no sign of change. Several members of
the royal family have intimated their
intention to attend the funeral. The
Prince of wales will represent the
Queen. Admission to the churchyard at
Hughenden will be strictly limited to
bearers of tickets issued by the execu-
tors.

EXPLOSION OF A POWDER
MAGAZIFE,

BRIDGEPoRT, Conn, April 81. The
powder maganizine situated In West
Stratford, about three miles from this
city, containing about 1000 kegs or
powder, owned by the Union Metallic
Cartridge Company, exploded shortly
after II o'clock this morning. Build
ings about the city were shaken as by a
shock of earthquake, people were
thrown from their feet and plate-glass
and small windows were in many
places broken. For time the widest
excitement prevailed. Shops were at
once emptied of employees and hum
dreds of women rushed wildly about
the streets crying. The damage to
buildings about the city is estimated
at 5000. The explosion is supposed
to have been caused in some way by
the rifle shooting of two men IN the
vicinity of the magazine. One of
these men, Egbert Plnney, standing
about 100 yards from the building,
was badly cut about the head, and the
other was badly shaken up, but not
otherwise injured. AS far as can be
ascertained, no lives were lost. The
explosion was heard for miles around.

GRANT IN MEXICO.

WILD STORIES OF DARK DESIGNS ON
THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE
MEXICAN REP UBLIC.
CITY OF MEXICO, April 22.-The
alleged friendship between General
Grant and General Diaz is injuring
the latter here without beneliting
the former. Many worthy people
give credence to a story put ebout
in the old Conservative" circles
that General Grant has come here
in pursuance of an agreement with
Diaz that he will take over a
kind of protectorate to be supported
by the United States Government.
The story, absurd as it is, has been
circulated by people Of influence and
in connection with the general be-
lief that General Diaz has engaged
extensively in railway speculations,
it is working mischief. General
Grant laughs at it but he will doubts
less take an early and conspicuous
opportunity to make an end of it

QUAKERS IN IRELAND.

The Quaker body in Ireland does not
now much exceed three thousand, in
Guiding some very poor people In the
manufacturing districts OF Ulster, where
Edmundson's work began. The dis
tinctive dress has been abandoned. Now
and then the old questions arise,
as the other day at Waterford, where a
Quaker Juror refused to dof his hat.
"Let some gentleman take his hat off
ior him." said Mr.. Justice Barry. This
having been done, the scrupulous juror
Affirmed, and marvellous to relate q
verdict of guilty was returned. In a
changed state of society, the sect has
lost much OF its old Importance, but its
work, should always be remembered
with gratitude. Peaceful when all
around was at war, tolerant when all
others were ready to persecute, fair and
just in their dealings, the Quakers have
shown a good example in Ireland. Dur
ing the miseries OF 1S47 they were fore
most III alleviating distress, and they
have always done much to lessen the
religious animosity which has been
Erin's greatest bane.

THE EVIDENCE TO BE LAID BEFORE
THE ATToRNEY-GENERAL FOR AC-
TIoN--THE IRREGULAR TRANsAe-
TIoNs OARRIkD ON FOR SEVERAL
YEARS sPAsT--JuDGE TYNER's CASE.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-1he Irregu-
lar and fraudulent transactions which
have been uncovered In the contract Office
OF the Post Office Department by the
investigation Of Postmaster-G
james are the Principal topics of discus
sion throughout the city to-day especially
In the Executive departments, where
eager inquire are made of those who
are supposed to be acquainted with the
facts as to the number of persons and
who they are, that will be affected in
their Official capacities.
A member OF ex-President Hapes' Ca
binet, in conversation on the subject
this morning, expressed great surprise
when he was told the corruption extend
ed over the entire period Of The previous
administration.
While the gentleman expressed his
faith in the honesty and integrity Of the
immediate predecessors Of Postmaster
General James. he said that If the cur
rent statements were true, they clearly
indicated that those affidavits had been
sadly ignorant of the details and opera
tions of the various bureaus under their
charge.
The case against General Brady and
his friends has been presented in its in
complete shape to President Garfield and
instructions were at once given to com
plete the evidence and lay the whole sub
jaet, including the accumulated mass of
documents, affidavita, and various des
criptions of discriminating memoranda,
before Attorney General MacVeagh for
such action as may hereafter be deter
mined upon. Meantime very little infor-
nation of an official character can be OBJ
tanned, but it is iDtimated that install
ments will be furnished for publication
as rapidly as seems judicious to those
having the investigation iu hand. The
statement that Judge Tyner was i'm
plicated in the frauds is SAID to have no
foundation, and if he is replaced at all
which does not at present seem likely,
it will not be on account of any connec-
tion with the Brady corterie.

inquired how they stood, was inform

discharge.
The latter first inquired of the jury
If there had been any change in their
opinions since they commenced to de-
liberate, and If there was any reasona-
BILE prospect Of'an agreement.
The foreman replied that the last
ballot was the same as The first, and
that they would never come to an
agreement. He thought there was no
