SECOND EDITION
AN UNFoUNDED CHARGE.

THE NEW CASTLE COUNTY KRrREsEN-
TATIvEs DENY CERTAIN ASSERTIONS
MADE CONCERNING THEM.
To the Editor Of The Gazette:
In view of the fact that an effort has
been studiously made by one of the
newspapers published in Wilmington,
to hold the Republican members of the
House OF Representatives of this State
responsible for the withdrawal of the
| supplement TO the Delaware Western
railroad charter, authorizing the con-
| structlon of railroad running north
and south through the State, the under
signed members of the Nav Castle
county delegation submit the following
statement to the public
y The above named supplement pass =
ed the Senate by a vote Of six to three,
the senators from New Castle and
sussex counties voting solidly for it.,
and those from Kent county voting
| solidly against it. II was Introduced
in the House, read twice and referred
to the Committee on Corporations week
before last. The counsel employed to
secure the passage of the bill requested
al that time member of the New Cas-
tie county delegation, who was also a
member of the Committee on Corpora
tions, to use his influence for the pur.
pose of having the bill remain unacted
upon III committee until the early part
of last week. The bill was considered
in committee ON Tuesday afternoon
last, six members of the committee be-
ing present.
Ehe vote in the committee stood two
i'll favor of the bill and tour against it.
Of the two members favoring the bill,
one was from New Castle county, the
other from Sussex county. OF The four
opposed to the bill, one was from New
Castle county, tvo from Kent county
and one from Sussex county. Thus, Of
the four members of the committee from
the two lower counties three we're op-
posed to the bill, while only one favored
IL. 30 strong was the opposition ia
committee to the bill that a member
from Kent submitted written report
adverse TO the granting of the charter.
Considerable discussion ensued, but
tiually,at the earnest request OF the mem
Der from New Castle county who fav-
ored the bill, the committee decided not
TO sign the written repor: submitted, but
10 report the bill The next morning with.
out recommendation. 1t was owing 10
tie opposition in committee that the bill
was Withdrawn the next day, OIL the in
stance Of the counsel employed to secare
Its passage.
Ii the members Of the House from
Kent and Sussex counties had shown a
decided preference for the bill, the New
Castle county delegation, In view of the
fact that the proposed new road WOuld
more directly affect the interests of the
lower counties than those OF New Cas-
tie county, would have voted solidly fol
the bill. But no such preference wAl
| shown.
With respect to the charge that
Anthony Higgins, Esq, Influenced or
attempted 70 influence the members of
the New Castle county delegation
against the proposed new road, we have
simply to say that it 10 utterly without
foundation and false in every particular.

THE ELECTION CASES.
COMMENCEMENT OF THE TRIALS IN
THE o. 8. DISTRICT coURT.


This morning being the time for the
trial of the U. S. election cases, the
court room in the postofiioe building
was crowded with Interested specta-
tors at an early hour.
At 10 o'clock the District Court was
opened with Judge Bradford on the
bench.
Clerk Smith called the roll of the
traverse jury and all answered except
Geo. W. Knott, Ebe Tunnel and
Thos. j. Craven. Ebe Tunnel was
excused, the Judge announcing that he
"cane from the smallpox district" Of
Sussex county.
Before proceeding upon the regul +
business, District Attorney Patterson
made statement i'll reference to two
cases wherein true bills had been found
by the Grand Jury-those of Thomas
Reynolds and james Duncan, resi-
dents of Browntown Chen in Chris
tiana Hundred) charged with voting
i'll the Tenth ward at the last general
election. He said that while the evi-
dence as TO the guilt Of the parties was
strong and conclusive, and at the time
of their indictment by the Grand Jury
1t was supposed they were Influenced
by guilty motives, subsequent repre-
sentations bad been made to him the
effect that by agreement between men
of both political parties people from
Browntown had been allowed to vote
in the Tenth ward at general elections
on taking oath they would not vote at
any other poll. In view of the fact
the District Attorney said leading rep
resentatIves of both parties had joined
in requesting him not to prosecute
these cases as to do 50 would imply a
violation of good faith on the side of
one of the patties to the agreement.
Although the govelnmenJ was not
party TO this arrangement the District
Attorney decided to agree to the re-
quest made OF him, but ho de-
sired 10 especially announce that
his ACTON in This case must lot be Coli
sidered as precedent to govern future
eases. lie therefore, with the consent Of
the court, entered nOllS pros, in the
cases of Reynolds and Duncan.
3; Trial cases were then called the first
being that Of Lewis Wederman, charged
with nteltering with special deputy U.
5. Marshals. District Attorney Patter-
sou for the Government and Chas. b.
Lore, Ii. g. Turner aud Harry Sharpley
Esqs., for the defense. After some delay
caused by the failure ofthe governments
witnesses to answer promptly the fol.
lowing jury was empanelled:
Matthew Ford, Lewis Il. Coke, James
NJ. Brackln Levin Hitch, VIM. N. Pierce
Edward Streets Carey Frazier, Fergus s.
Watson, Henry Eckel, Geo. w. Bartce,
Lewis PAynter, John W. Phillips.
Another slight delay was then oc-
sasioned by waiting for the accused who
bad left the court room few minutes
before.
