Hons in this Circuit are Not much of Il
success. Whether this be owing to a
popularity in the atmosphere of Prince
Georges county, where they have been
held, We cannot say, As bear garden
exhibitions, both of the recent cOnvcn
tons, on a small scale, would have made
respectable side shows to the House of
Representatives in the palmy days Of
Ben Butler. when he would occasional
y stir up the latter assembly in his

not recall the circus proceedings Of the
| Democratic convention We did that
once and brought down on us the ire of
our brother of the Marlboro Go-ette -
Without desiring to encounter any sim
sar.expericnco we may venture to say
tAat the course of some of the delegates
in the recent Republican convention was
remarkably picturesque, A portion of
the Prince Georges delegation, became
very indignant, because oolored. man
and a brother had been in some wap pat
upon the delegations ami thrqstcned TO
withdraw, until they found thpt Colonel
Suit, equal ia tho emergency. proposed
to cast tive entire vote Of the county -
The Calvert delegation voted unani
rnously for Mr. Stone, and then dcclar-
ed he had formed corrupt combination
with Mr.. Wilson, which would coss the
ticker three hundred votes in that coun-
~. One of them youshafed the inform
alton that all coed men tried to. get away
ffom that oosAnty, aud this in. the face Of
the Mn Nathaniel Duke, the President
Of the convention, who. has been content
io'live in that county. az good enough
place feE him, for the past aincty years
OF so. and then to-cap the climax, the
convention which had been delegated by
the people to nominate a candidate for
both Chief and Associate Judges did
balfoftheir work and delegated the other
to the chairman of the central commit
tees Of the four counties composing this
cTrcuit. All this was done on the mo- |

DELAWARE RIVER PILoTAGE.
PHILADELPHIA PORT wARDENs AND
OTHERS BEFORE A LEGISLATIVE

PHILADELPHIA PORT WARDENs AND
OTHERS BEFoRE A LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE.
DOVER, Del, March 2o.-A delega-.
tion from Philadelphia, representing
the Board Of Port Wardens, the Com
mercial Exchange and Maritime Ex-
change, arrived here to-day for the
purpose of presenting their views to
the Legislature upon the law now pend
ing to regulate pilotage In this state.
The party was composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen Board of Port
Wardens, Christian K. Ross, Charles
McGinley Maritime Exchange, Philip
Fitzpatrick, d. s.. Stetson CONNER
cial Exchange, A. H.. .Turker, William
Neal. The special committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. Robinson, Jones,
Graham, Register aud Townsend, held
a meeting tonight, at which hearing
was given to these gentlemen and
their counsel, Messrs. Geo. V. Massey,
A. p. Robinson, w. G. Whiteley and
Levi 9. Bird, Esqs., and the parties
who are here in favor Of the proposed
bill. ,s+u ti44
Several members of the Philadelphia
delegation addressed the Committee,
disclaiming all desire to interfere with
the Delaware Legislature in any mat
ters of legislation which they might
care to pass, but simply to make a
statement of the effect of the proposed
law would have upon the interests Of
Philadelphia. fhey would not for a
moment question the right of the Legis-
lature Of this State to pass pilot law
1t was the advisability Of such action
which they desired to discuss.
II was then pointed out to the Com
mIttee how the passage of such a law
would divide the responsibilities of the
business would be detrimental to the
coramerce of Philadelphia, as well a:
being of no advantage to any one; the
Delaware Board, which could grant the
licenses, would SIT in Wilmington, and
all captains Of vessels having complaints
to make against pi lots licensed in Della
ware, would have to 60 to that city to
their great Inconvenience and loss o.
time. The gentlemen also stated tha
the business of Delaware woRld scarcel,
warrant the granting of licenses byssthaI
State, as all licenses were required to b.
issued from the port to which The vessel
went. Philadelphia was the cbiet in fac
the only port OF entry of importance or
the Delaware, and the law should OF
this account, as well az many others, re-
mains as at present.
Counsel for the proposed law made
long arguments in its favor declared tina
the opposition from Philadelphia wa
not entitled to receive consideration, a
1t came from another State which the.
declared had regulated pilotage too ion
J already. 1t was only reasonable to pas
the law, as Delaware had four times .
. much of the Delaware with her jurisdi'
ton as Pennsylvania. The Commiht
, adjourned without arriving at any col
T ciusion.

big piece of luck, asked him If he had

The Camdenite smiled just as a man
smiles with big balance in bank, and
remarked Eyes, sir every dollar of
it, and every dollar of 1t is invested in
good paying, safe securities. You
see," said he, becoming just littla
enthusiastic on the subject, 81 drew
that $15, 900 on half ticket No. Ia, ol6

with The Adams Express Company for

MRS. BEECaER SERIOUSLY ILL

After he had dismissed his congrega
tion Sunday night the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher stepped down from his
pulpit to 60 to his pew, in which we're
his wife and two other ladies. Mrs.
Beecher was sitting upright and rigid
and when he spoke TO her she was un-
able TO answer. He soon saw that she
was in an almost unconscious condition.
Thinking thai the crowded state of the
church had caused her to faint, he stood
upon the seat OF the adjoining pew and
asked the congregation to hasten out.
The tone of distress in which he spoke
created some alarm and surprise and
nearly all stopped to inquire what was
the matter, but he repeated the request
and the church was soon emptied. In
the meantime several ladies had tried TO
revive Mrs. Beecher. Mr.. Beecher,
with assistance carried her into the lee
ture rom and she was taken home in
carriage. Mrs. Beecher has for many
years been q severe sufferer from
