A Minister'S Life Endaugered.

A correspondent of the State Senti.
mel of Dover writing under date of Oct.
IA, says:
This place, memorable on account of
Its connection with the Bennett May
duel, Is rendered more so by the excite-
ment which has prevailed here this
year. The defeat of an attempt by a
set of wOrldlings, to rule the Church,
gave rise to a general neighborhood
feud, and the defeated parties enter
tanned a malicious feeling toward the
minister, the Rev. Mr.. Burke, and his
followers. The leader in this move
ment Is on. of our grain and phosphate
dealers, who abused the minister and
his wife 80 shamefully last Summer
He was tried before Squire Smith of
Maryland and convicted of an assault
with intent to kill MIR. Burke, fined $40
and costs and Set free. Was there ever
such peualty for such a crime? The
risk of life; the prospect of widow and
orphans; the disgrace Of the communi-
ty-ali for $50. We are sorry for our
Maryland neighbOrs that they value
life no more highly. This was less than
a week ago; and Mr.. Burke is again
disturbed by him during service at
Thomas chapel since. The question is
pertinent: Why has this thing conlin.
ued 80 long? The answer is easy: Per.
sons are slow to TO interfere in things
about which they are not personally
concerned. The greater part of the
community are opposed to such con-
duct, but very few have stood out open
ly and boldly against it; while a few
have sympathized with it.

TIE TOURISTS,
DiAgraceful Conduct.

A number of young men in our city
are in the habit of drinking to excess,
and then make the night hideous with
their yeils and curses. This state of
affairs is becoming an intolerable
nuisance to our quiet citizens, who are
nightly disturbed by these unru,y
young men and boys, who carry on in
this way all hours of the night. Satur-
day night crowd of roughs got into
an alteration at Fehrenbach's saloon,
Fourth and French streets, and the ex.
citement waxed high for a while but
the arrival of Sergeant Cannon with a
number Of police soon qaelled the dis
turbance; hut they were not satisfied,
because they were not arrested and i'm
mediately proceeded 10 SlTckle's on
King street, and created disturbance
there, when the officers were summoned.
Before they arrived, however, the par
cipants had made good their escape.
1t would he we'll if the police would
arrest all such men, whenever they are
caught behaving in this manner and
the Mayor would no doubt make an
example of them. Many Of these young
men are minors, but they do not seem to
nave any trouble TO procure what they
want to drink. A sharp lookout for
those who violate the law, and sell to
minors, should be kept by the officers
or others who are interested in the wei.
fare of our young men.

Emigrating Eastward.

Mr.. =. W. Adams, of Michigan, has
purchased two farms in the neighbor-
hood OF McDonongh, and says he finds
no more favored place than New Castle
county. Mr.. Adams has already re-
moved to his new purchase. The local
paper at his former place of residence
thus notices his departure "We learn
that p. w. Adams is about to leave his
o.d home and take up his residence i'll
Delaware. He leaves this afternoon
tor Middletown, Del, and intends to
purchase farm in that vicinity. His
family will follow him within few
weeks. Mr.. Adams may be called one
of the pioneers, having always lived
among us, and we note his departure
with extreme regret. The place which
gains him as a citizen will find him a
valuable acquisition to a community.
Our loss is little Deaware's gain"

Won't Assist Guiteau,

Drs. Hammond aud i. Marion Sims,
OF New York, deny that they will, un-
der any consideration give their ser
vices to the defense in the case of Gui.
teau. DR.. Sims is. quoted as saying
that I" as soon as the bullet of the as sas.
sin struck General Gariield's spine the
case was hopeless and all that science,
and attendance and devotedness could
do was accomplished" DR.. Hammond
is quoted as saying that the physicians
"did all they possibly could do under
the circumstances and adding: "My
testimony, if were likely to give it in
Guiteau's 5 defense would be unimport,
ant, because could speak only hypo-
thetically in the matter, rs never saw
the President under treatment, and
what opinions have formed have been
drawn from vague reports, the truth of

Why They don't GO.
For the Republican.

MEssRs EDITORS. there have
been some printed remarks concerning
the First Regiment Band in connection
with the Yorktown celebration that
might be construed as reflection q
gaiDst them, the members Of tho Band
think that it would be better that their
position in the matter be correctly un-
derstood, and that they be placed in
the right light before the public. So
far as an attempt to impose extortionate
figures upon the militia is concerned,
they have to say that the price as asked
was but 81 per day per man, less than
average pay for good mechanics. An
organization with tho reputation en-
joyed by this band would certainly
compromise their standing by perform
ing for q less price, unless their services
was gratuitously extended.

The Wilmington Branch of the Irish
Land League met yesterday, which was
largely attended by members, Is 1t was
known that some action would be taken
in reference to the arrest of Mr.. Parnsl1
by the Gladstone administration Of
England. A number of members spoke
their minds freely, and bitterly de-
nounced the action of the English gov
ernment in causing the arrest and i'm
priscnment of Mr.. Parnell and other
fiiends Of the cause.
A committee consisting of John +.
Donahoe, Robert Cottingham, Edward
Burns and John j. Miller were ap
pointed committee to draft a series Of
resolutions expressive of the sense Of
the meeting and the Irish citizens Of
Wilmington on the subject. After .

resolutions which were unanimously
adopted

protest against the action Of Messrs.
Gladstone and Foster, in 80 s,lnmarily
arresting and imprisoning gentleman
engaged in emancipating our brethren

trial or release on bail, which goes to
show how the English Government
rules her subjects.
Resolved, That we tender our heart
felt sympathy to the noble victims who
suffer so much indignity for the benefit
of our suffering countrynen, that we
do pledge them our redcubled efforts in
the cause herein mentioned.
