TIE INDICATIONS are that the compIi
mentary vote Of the Eepuolioans in the
Legislature will be- cast for Anthony
Higgins, Esq, Of our city. for United
States Senator. There sre many yor-
thy Republicans in the State to whom
the vote would BE- fitting conplirlenf, ,
but as the Republicans in the Lsgisla-
tnYe sre alone from New Castle Comfy
and as much Of the credit Of carrying
the County against the Democracy is
due to Mr.. Higgins, tho compliment Of
the Republican veto for Senator would
rest gracefully upon his shoulders as
an ackro slsdgenent by Lis party Of
his unhiDehing and conscientious de-.
votion 10 Rspu ublioan principles. We
regret that there are not enough Re
publiosns in thu LOgislstlrs to o'sc!
Mr.. Higgins. The State wouId lose
nothing in ability and Rouli gain

voted to her true interests In every re-.

me Assessment.

According to the assessment that ID
about being completed there are about
II, 900 persons in Wilmington who
would have the right to vote II tney
would qualify themselves for dong so'
There are 1868 males alone IN 'he
Eighth Ward, but that ward probably
has larger average Of a voting popuiA
ton than several other wards, but pre-
suuably not more than the First Sec
oni or Tenth, on account of lying con-
,iguous to large manufactures which
employ large number Of hands who are
not heads of families. During the late
campaign We steadily maintained that
Wilmington should cast s,00o votes at
least, and If che did not do soft was
evidence Of the imperfect assessment
that was made. The assessment has
shown that our estimate Was below the
mark that 1t should have been placed
at. We believe that We have now as
near q full and fair assessment OF all
the voters as We have ever had. Both
Democrats and Republicans unite in
praise to Mr.. Saville the Assessor OF the
Northern District for making sfull and
fair assessment, and We are informed
that Mr. Hughes, proiting by the un-
pleasant experience Of q year ago, IL
making full assessment Of the South
ern District. this is true we would
not withhold from Mr.. Hughes the
mede of praise which is his due, but IS
We cannot have the full proofs OF
complete assessment until the dupli'
Gates are posted We would not bs tul
some in our oommeEdation Of the As
Ia, sGors until that tins.

suicide of AtwelI Taggart.

A telegram on Monday announced to
John Taggart, Esq, residing near this
place, that his son. Atwell Taggart, OF
Long Point, H., had committed suicide
on that morning, by shooting himself
through the head. No further particu-
lars of the sad affair have been received.
1t is supposed that the mind of the un-
fortunate man, through i'll health and
the misfortunes which had come upon
him, became temporarily unbalanced
when he committed the rash act. Last
summer he lost his wife, since which
time his health steadily failed. He was
4 grain dealer, and week before last his
grain warehouse was burned, entailing
considerable loss. Last week Mr.. Tag
CART wrote to his father in this place, in
forming him of his loss, and saying that
as soon as he could dispose of the. re-
mainder of his property and settle up
mis- affairs he would return home. The
letter was despondent in tone. He has
gone "home," but not to the home of his
earthly parents, who were awaiting anx-
iously his return. Deceased was about
ii years of age, and had been residing
in the West IS years. He visited his
parents here about two months since.
His father took the midnight train on
the B. & o. Monday night, to be present
at the funeral.

A DISTRESSING accident occurred at
the boarding house of Mrs. Alice Roscoe,
Bellaire, on Monday morning, by which
Alonzo Miller, son of A. p. Miller, of
Belmont. lost his life. Young Miller
was clerk in the dry goods store of
Wiley & Wetherald, and roomed at Mrs.
Roscoe's boarding house. On Sunday
evening, together with an associate
named Johnny Muth, he attended
church. Church over, at Miller's re-
quest, young Muth went with him to his
room to remain over night. Young
Muth had revolver with him. The
boys retired in good season and passed
the night without anything unusual hap
pening. Shortly after daylight the boys
awoke and arose from bed, Miller,
either taking the revolver from under
the pillow or from the table, placed it to
his head above the ear, and said, "John-
ny, if some one had come in our room
last night, | would have taken this and
shot him through here"-at this instant
the weapon was discharged and ball
went crashing through the brain of
"Lon" Miller. He moaned a few mo-
ments but never spoke, and died almost
instantly. He was a bright young man,
it is said, without any bad habits. Cor
oner Garret held an inquest and deter
mined that he came to his death acci'
dentally as above stated. The body was
taken to Belmont on the afternoon train
where funeral services were held Oh
Tuesday. ....,.

THE angel of death, which for so many
weary months has hovered over our
river border, and which has desolated so
many homes in Bellaire, Martins Ferry
and Bridgeport, is yet reluctant to omit
those deeply afflicted towns. Only few
days ago we had occasion to record the
death of Mr.. Orr, the principal assistant
teacher in the Bridgeport schools, an ex-
cellent and promising young man. Now
word creaches US that Miss Lizzie
McMaster another of the teachers, who
was compelled to quit her work some
days ago and go to her home at Glencoe,
is sinking rapidly, and that her sands of
life are almost run out. Miss McMas-
ter is bright and interesting young wo-
man. and her loss will be keenly felt by
all who know her.
