HOW ABOUT THE MARYLAND

brains Of Il man whom his Democratic
opponents stigmatized as an "ohscurc
lawyer Anthony Higgins, Esq, OF
Delaware. Mr.. Higgins, however. can

In view of this decision in the Dela

BIG CREEK COTTAGE, April 9th, 81.
For the REP BLICAN.
With the thermometer down to 24C
below Zero the past winter with some
thirty sn0wS, one would be led to sup
pose that an early and bright spring
would follow, but not 81. Scarce IA
week has elapsed since we had our hill
tops whitcnGd with the snow OF winter
lingering in the lap Of spring, and Il
constant rain following has forbid all
blowing. No one has been able to
garden any yet, still the Signs are pro-
pitious. The Chesapeake 4 Ohio Rail
way Company have erected new and
improved trestle work fifty feet high
over Big Creek. This company have lost
LARGELY on smash ups, collisions, &c.
Last week the mail train ran into a
slide of rocks and earth just above my
residence on a sharp curve. The engine
and tender went over the road but
cd ling am Dng heavy rocks in the dump,
greater damage was escaped; no ONE
was hurt The engineer severed his EN-
gine and with his fireman leaped from
the cab. The cars did not leave the
track. To show the force of the train

tive struck rock weighing not less
than ten tons splitting it in two and
carrying one part some fifteen feet.
The black Bass are in season and

Ii time this will be great resort fol
those fond Of angling for bass and sand

nightly remarkable song, the burder
of the song is Garfield with long drawn

Butcher Butler Speaks.

Hamburg Butcher Butler stood up III
the United States Senate yesterday and
insulted the Nation. Ex-senator
Wadleigh of New Hampshire said OF
this man when he came into the Senate
he came there with hands dripping
with human gore. This red-hanC ed
bull-dozer attempted to give seventeen
reasons why he thought Senator Malone
had been bought by the Republicans,
but he had nothing to say about the
| EIlenton and Hamburg masSacreS,
through which he was enabled to steal
a seat in the United States Senate.
His reckless assertions however are
harmless because the people who have
informed themselves know they are not
true 1t is not true that Malone was
elected as Democrat. He was elected
as Readiuster, the Democrats of the
Butcher. Butler stripe voting Solidly
against him. He asserts that he was
assigned to committee by the Repub-
licans before it was known how he
would vote, but he withholdS the fact
that the Democrats had first assigned
him III advance to their committees.
The whole cause of the Butchers com
planning seems to be that the President
appointed persons to office who We're
Senator Mahone's friends. Had the
President appointed Buffers friends to
office the cause OF his complaint would
have been removed. One grave charge
by the South Carolina hot-blood was
that Malone had removed his seat
from the Democratic to the Republican
side of the chamber when the truth is
that Malone never chose n seat on the
Democratic side, but the Democrats
themselves anxious TO get his services
chose the seat for him. When he came
to select his own seat he took one
amongst the opposition to the Demo
ocratS where he belonged. The seven
teen trivial reasons of the d-handed
bull-dOzer are no reasons at all, and all
vanish into thin air when punched with
the lancet of truth. 1t is Butler that is
not entitled to a seat in the Senate of
the United States and disgraCe es the
name of United States Senator, not
Malone.

Dirty Streets.

Are the streets of Wilmington in ;
clean condition or are they not? If W,
read the debates in City Council las
| night we must conclude that there ar,
two opinions upon that subject and
very Singulaly the opinions are divided
politically. The Republicans alone
seem to have discovered that there
We're many filthy streets in the city.
The Democratic members seem to have
bapn perfectly oblivious to dirty streets
and sinking cutters. They seem to
have lost all sense of sight rs we'll as OF
smell. The chairman says the KEptB,
LlCAN lies in its exposures of dirty
sire, Is and cutters and unremoved gar.
bage for ages. OF course we eNprcl
PUBLICAN TO say that anyhow. But i
seems somehow that the Republican
members of the City Council entertain
Just the opposite opinion. They say
the streets are dirty. The people it
general say they are dirty and We fee
justified in sticking to oUr assertions
Notwithstanding the denial Of Mr.. Me
Menamin and Mr.. Mcrris Taylor Til,
people who suffer from dirty, filthy
streets know who is telling the truth
and it may be possible that the people
who read the wholesale dcuials Of wha
is known to be Jrue may learn to dis
count Democratic assertions upon Other
subjects.

What the Derby Victory VIII Lead To-
The Church and the Turf

Jobstown, probably named after the
only prophet of bilious nature spoken of in the
Scriptures, was, until few years ago. an obscure
village few miles outside of Mount Holly, Buring
ton County, New Jersey. Up the road piece" from
the roads store of jolly Sam Weathera is the
magnificent stock breeding farm of Pierre LOril-
lard, covering upward of three thousand acres.
Located there is fine old mansion, surrounded by
splendid stables, barns residences, out houses,
wind-mills, an artificial lake. fsh-houses, hay
stacks, pastures, hot-houses, and hundred other
objects of interest stretching in the distance,
found only on a stock breeding farm of such
proportions. The cosy abiding places of the hired
help, from the subsuperintendent to the
stableman, with the vines running up and around
the front doors and the neat little gardens in 'front.'

ually take the name of the owner of Iroquois.
There was lively times at the farm last Wednes-
day when the news was flashed by cable from
England to that remote place in jersey that
Iroquois had won the Derby, for it is where
the splendid animal had lived since year
ling; and the sandy soil of Jobstown, as well
as the limestone formation of Chestnut Hill,
Philadelphia, his birthplace, had helped
develop the power which gave him the victory
over the English horses. The boys on the place
sent down to Weatherall's store for flags and
brooms, and these emblems were quickly trans
ferred to the houses and stables of the place,
making it look like gala day.

said one of the old citizens of Jobstown to the
writer.
"Why, how is that?' inquired the listener.
'Well Mr.. Lorillard said if he won the Derby he
would put up a church for us, and he always keeps
his word.'
WELL then, it's big victory for the cause of re-
ligion as well as for American horsehesh.''

The Virginia Convention.

The result of the Readjuster's State
convention has gladdened the hearts Of
all true Republicans in Virginia Out
side of the little clique who wish to be
recognized as Republicans only in Wash
ington, where the fiesh-pots of patronage
form the chief planks of their platform,
the nominations made by the State con-
vention have been received with the ut
most enthusiasm by everybody except
the hide-bound Bourbons, who see
in the result of the convention
sure presage of their final and
utter overthrow. The platform adopted
by the convention is one that
every consistent Republican can stand
upon and enthusiastically work for the
success of the ticket selected. 1t en-
bodies the very quintessence of true Re-
publicanism, pledging the new organiza-
ton to secure to all men all the rights
guaranteed to them by the Constitution
of the United States, and that, too, with
out reference to race or color. That
is the great point the Republicans of
the Union have been battling for
during the past ten years-the right
of the recently enfanchised to a free
ballot and a fair count; and all other
issues are and should be kept subsidiary
thereto. Hence, if the Republicans of
the Old Dominion can secure the COM
plete triumph of this great and righteous
principle by coalescing with General Ma
hone and his friends for the time being
they are foolish if they do not improve
their opportunity; and more especially in
view of the fact that by entering into
such a coalition they can rive asunder the
hitherto solid phalanx of intolerant Bour-
bonism and open the way to the destruc-
ton of that fearful menace to the peace
and prosperity of the Union-a Solid
South.
