III seems that every man on the
shore is determined in the interest of
railroad, and we opine that the amounts
apportioned to the different localities
will be raised without any trouble or
delay.
The early closing of navigation last
fall, the long and severe winter, to-
gether with the prospects for a very
late opening of navigation this spring,
have all had a tendency to convince
every inhabitant on the shore that
railroad has become an actual necessity,
and the sooner the iron horse is travel
ing the shore, the better the people will
be pleased, and the sooner the business
interest of the entire section will take
start forward that will surprise all.

The firm of Anspach q Co. which
has done a good business in this city for
the last ten years, made an assignment
on Saturday last, for the benefit of
their creditors. This firm has always
done heavy business and has sup
piled goods to the people at low prices,
but the extensive credit system of this
locality sometimes proves hazardous,
and we find that the firm has at last
been compelled to succumb to the UNI
pleasant duty of making an assignment.
However, for the benefit of our bust
ness interests, we hope that an early
adjustment may be made, and the firm
once more in possession of their estab-
lishment.

TJfE RE1L CASE.
Nothing 10 Prevent IA New Trial In
September.

Attorney-General Gray received Tues
day the text of the Supreme Courts de
cision in the Neal case. 4 review of It
shows nothing important that was not
covered i'll the Geographic abstract pub
lished at the time. Chief Justice Waite
dissented from tho majority OF the Court,
saying:
am unable to concur in this Judgment.
We said in Virginia vs.. Rives 600 n 5. 322J
that the mere fact that persons of color had
not been allowed to serve on jliries where
colorod men We're interested, was not enough
to show that the defendants had been dis
eliminated against because of their race.
That was all that was shown in this case on
the motion TO quash, except that the accused
swore i'll an affidavit that the exclusion of
colored men from juries i'll Delaware had
been because of their race. | cannot believe
that the refusal of the Court, Oh such an
quash the Indictment and quash the panel OF
jurors because the defendant had been dis
eliminated against on account of his race was
such an error i'll law as TO Justify reversal of
the judgment. As the motions had once been
submitted Oh the affidavit of the defendant
alone and decided, it rested in the discretion
of the Court to allow II rehearing and per
init further evidence TO be introduced The
refusal of the Court to do so cannot. az |
think. be assigned for error here.
Having examined the opinion, the
Attorney-Genera says there is nothing to
prevent Meals being retired in September.

There was slight fire on Sunday even
ing at the Chester oil Works which at

the works, but which was put out before
any damage was done.
Concerning the forming OF the new
creameries in Chester county, the ques-
ton is asked, Does it pay to make butter
at less than 80 cents a pound, when the
milk can be promptly got to market
The opinion is strongly held that it does
not.
Chester county is likely to overdo the
matter of forming creamery companies
The sudden rush in this direction is said
to be in consequence of the rise in the
cost of shipping milk and the require
ment that shippers shall load and unload
their own cans, imposed by President
Gowen.
