Special Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,.
LEwEs, Dsl., March 22.--As clear q
day as ever added to Reho6oth's sea
side beauty in midsummer, bent over
that famous tract yesterday and great
ly added to the enjoyment Of the half
q hundred ministerial exeurs'onist5
who went over there from conference
in the afternoon.
The splendid surf broke upon the
sandy shore before The brisk spring
breeze, with IS much curling regular
ty rs in the seasons height; and the
air, solteped almost TO lsst-of April
warmth, made it very pleasant and
exhiierating on the beach and around
the halls aud corridors Of the Bright
House. L. was almost Summer scene
with Summer quarter Of a year away.
The excursion left Lswss at o'clock
sharp, in charge OF Adolphus Brown,
+ O., Superintendent Of the Junction
& Breakwa.er Railroad. Rehoboth
reached, the party at once proceeded to
the beach, where the Bright House
vas found open, and the proprietor,
Mr.. Walter Burton, received them with
hearty welcome. Mr.. Burton had
driven over early ir the day and
opened the hotel for his clerical Visl'
tors. OF course, there was not much
to 0e seer-Dothing like what it is in
Summer tme-but the trip was very
pleasant, and everybody came home
plea ei. A number of tue diviues,
particularly those from outside the
bounds OF the Wilmington Conference,
had never visited the resort before;
these ali expressed surprise at hnding
The place so admirably si'usted and
posse. sing such adaptability as q sea.
side resort. They said they had
.orme1 high opinion Of Rehoboth.
HOW REHOBorH LOOKS.
The Leavy storms, which have ragged
sicnu ,bis coast since the commence
msnt Of last Autumn, have spent their
mrv on the beach at Rehoboth with
considerable effect. The waves have
washed the beach until the water line
i, about 20 feet further inland than
before. Soundings show that this has
lad a good effect, tie descent in tht
suri being much more gradual, whict
will tend to make the bathing muct
better than formerly. The wash o
the billo.s combined with the effect
of the broken ice foes, which wer
carri ID high mp by the tides after thu
breaking OF the gorge at the Bress
water in January, has nndermine'
many OF the bath-housea. A numbe
Of them have fallen over, the founda
tiors having been torn away, and 9th
srs are standing on piling, several fst
above the groupd. This damage ca
be repaired at slight expense.
| The deserted cottages are ell in goo
condition but back in the grove vand'
hands have been laid upon all that wf
available for firewood, and it has bse
carried away. Some of the board ten
have also suffered, but only to a lmi
ed extent. And while but little elt
han has been mentioned stands /
need of repair, an air of dssolatio
hangs over Delawsre's summer city b
the sea, which only needs the openin
Of the season to dispel.

The Ledger says that the building
of new railway lines in Mexico will
require supplies from that city amount
ing to five millions of dollars. The
surveyors instruments with which to
lay out the line, are all to be made in
that city; the Cambria Iron Company
is to furnish part of the rails used ON
the road; the locomotives, many of the
car wheels, and the greater part of
the machine tools for the workshops,
are to be made there, and the cars are
to be built in York. 1t is little curl
GUS that Wilmington should be over
looked, by the contractors for these
roads. If Wilmington mechanics
were engaged in building locomotives
this would hardly have been the case.
1t is strange thing that our city has
not an establishment of this kind since
it has so long been engaged in car
building and car wheel manufacture

question is that the Oliver men will
make desperate attempt to adjourn the
Legislature on the 4th of March,in order
to enable the Governor to appoint a
United States Senator, in aceordanee
with the provisions of the United States
constitution, which says:-"And if va
cancies happen by resignation or other
wiss during the recess Of the Legislature
of any State the Executive thereof may
make temporary appointments until the
next meeting Of the Legislature, which
shall then fill such vacancies" Governor
HOYt is friendly to Oliver and would no
doubt appoint him il there should be a
vacancy after the adjournment Of the
L. gislature, and he would remain in

Death of Edward PO ts.

BALTIMORE, January 28.-Mr.
Edward Potts, we'll known in this
city as private secretary to John w.
Garrett, President of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, died al his resi-
dence here yesterday, in the fifty
fourth year of his age.
Edward Potts was born in Tren-
ton, n. j., February "a, 1927. In
his youth he connected himself with
the house of Harper Brothers, of
New York. He learned the trade
OF printing with the Harpers. After
attaining his majority he went to
Wilsonburg, New York, and bee ame
editor and proprietor of a paper in
that place. He left there soon af-
terwards for a wider field, and after
looking around, found an engage
ment on the PennsylUanian, in Phila
delphla. From here he went to
Dover, Del, and became the pro-
prietor and editor of the Delaware
State Reporter. In 1857 he returned
to Philadelphia and secured po-
sition on the Press. Colonel For
ney recognized Mr.. POTTS ability
for newspaper work, and appointed
him as managing editor of his other
paper, the Washington Chronicle.
After devoting his energies for a
quarter of century to newspaper
work, Mr.. Potts determined to seek
other fields of labor, and in 1859 he
became the private secretary of the
late William Prescott Smith, who
was then Master of Transportation
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
His efficiency attracted the attention
of Mr.. John w. Garrett, the Presi.
dent of the company, and after sery.
ing several years with Mr.. Smith he
was appointed private secretary and
confidential clerk of the President.
This position he held from 1865, to
the day of his death.

cause it has with the Offices in the
chief towns and cities. It does not
have navel stations in every city /; nor
light houses on every shoal; nor a
rendezvous in every town. Were the
wires connected with the postofficea
telegraphing would be substituted for
vast deal of correspondence that ia
now necessary; because it could be
done at q profit for one cent a word.
The work Of mailing and distributing
the mail matter would no doubt be
diminished to such an extent as to re-
lieve as much force in most of the

get rid Of the monopoly.

THE TELEGRAPH MoNopoIv
There are objections to the geyern-

And these objections are without
doubt sound. But then there is a
point at which they must fail to be
valid. Why should the government
run the post office department and
not be allowed the privilege of con.
Meeting with it telegraph line? We
will say to our esteemed coptemno.
rary, the Smyrna Times, which re.
minds the GAZETTE of its objections
to such matters, that while the
Democratic party would restrict the
government in its accumulation nj
office-holders and the increase of tbe
salaries of its hundred thousand
officials, we can see no solid reason
why telegraph should not be con.
nected with the post-office department,
since tue government is obliged to use
the telegraph lines to SO great an ex.
tent. 1t is unreasonable in the men
in Congress possessing great blocks
of stock in existing lines to wish
to maintain a monopoly in tele.
graphy as they do in banking
There is no reason in requiring
the government to have telegraphic

ARTHUR NOT ELIGIBLE.
From the Philadelphia Times.

from the Ph1ladelphia Times.
WILLIAM III. ENaLIsH may be Vice
President of the United States all the
same after March 4. A New York law-
yer has made All elaborate and exhaus-
tive examination of formidable reserve
of documentary evidences which seems to
show that Chester A. Arthur was born
in Canada of Irish parentage and was
not eligible under The Constitution for
the office OF President OF Vice Preslden'.
Tue matter fills page OF one Of tie
New York morning papers and has an
ugly lock Of reality about it, which MT
only warrants scrutiny OF the business
but makes 10 imperative. The letters
cover attidavits from the town clerks of
every county in Vermont where the bio
graphies OF Arthur allege hls birth. In
every instance the record shows that his
parents did not reside in those places at
the time specified nor Al any other. His
own statement OF the year OF his birth is
confused. He claimed, ia 1852, when
Admitted to the practice OF law in New
York city, TO have been born in 1880,
whereas the records show that he could
not have been born earlier than 1882 or
1888, while his father was living at Dun
hatn, in Canada. Al,other child bearing
his initials--C. A. Arthur, his brs.her-
was born while his parents were liviig
at Fairfield, Vermont, and the confusion
seems to have arisen though the simi-
larity of names. The first boy, who
died, was named Chester Abel, the
second Chester Allan. The former was
so named in honor of friend, ,the family
doctor. The circumstances that give
weight to this curious exposure are:
First, that The authorities OF the town In
which Arthur alleges himself TO have
been born deny that lis birth is recorded
The year he asserts, or that his parents
lived there at the time; second, that Ar
thur has been at work writing letters
since he received hint that some one
was on tho track of his genealogy EN-
deavoring to make old residents recall
things that did not occur aid In other
cases becloud circumstances too simple
to be susceptible Of doubt. II would be
curious outcome Of the affair If the
most dextrons boss that ever ruled a
party should be TIPPED on The very
footsteps OF the throne by the accident
of birth.
