From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
1t cannot be said of the Democrats,
however, that they sinned in the same
direction as the Republicans did.
They had not grown corrupt, nor-ex-
cept in the matter of some few of the
appropriations, notably that of the River
and Harbor bill-were they given over
to unbridled extravaganza, as their pre-
decessors in power were. The country,
when it comes to review the record
made by the Democrats since they have
controlled Congress, will be disposed to
judge its errors lightly and TO commend
its general action warmly. Much Of The
purity of its administration must be as
cribed to Mr.. Randall, of the House,
and to Mr.. Baya,d, Mr.. Randolph, and
Mr.. Thurman, of the Senate, who were
always consistent in opposition to all
forms of legislation which could be sus-
pected OF being mere raids upon the
Treasury. One of The first things made
apparent after the assumption of power
by the Democrats in 1875 was the defeat
of the lobby, the members OF which
were driven from the House and virtu-
ally deprived of their vocation. Against
them and all their schemes Mr.. Randall
waged uneeasing warfare, and he sue.
ceeded in efecting their banlshmeht.
1t was, therefore, neither corruption nor
extravaganza which defeated the Demo-
Gratis and drove them from power. If
they had been as wise as they were hon
est, they would constitute a majority of
the next Congress, instead of minority.
Rnf fhaW 1Nf e.
demonstrated their lack of wisd I'M by
permitting the weaker, and, to the coun-
try, the obnoxious Southern element
among them to shape and control legis-
lation.
They were wise enough to avoid the
rocks of corruption and extravaganza
upon which the Republicans went TO
wreck, but they were not wise enough 10
avoid that other dangerous roek-parti.
sanship. They wanted, hungered and
thirsted, to obtain control OF the Execu-
tive Department OF the Government;and
when the Southern "Briga1iers" offered
them the Electoral vote of the Solid
South, they were bewild' ed by the daz
zlinR chances OF success acid up before
their eyes, and to obtain success they
permitted the Southern members to rule
Congress as they willed. Tho wllled TO
rule 1t TO the Dams end in Congress as
they had fought years ago to rule it in
the field; and thereby they alarmed the
North, East and West, aud Caused a re-
vulsion against the Democrats which in
1880 swept them aside. 1t was the
North's dread of tho South obtaining too
10 dch power in Congress which first
turned the tide against the Democrats,
and when Mr.. Randall and the other
shrewd leaders saw the mischief that
bad been wrought by giving the South
the front Benches, and attempted to un-
do IL by RELOCATING the Brigadiers to the
rear, IL was too late.

THE RECEDING WAVE OF TRAVEL
FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. u

THE RECEDING WAVE OF TRAVEL
FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. -
During all of yesterday the return
travel from Washington kept rushing
through Wilmington, train after train,
depositing its human freight at the de-
pot, where brief interval was allowed
for the purposes of refreshment. Each
train load rushed pell-mell into the de-
pot restaurant, where it required the
utmost exertlons of an extra force of
assistants to attend to their wants. The
other restaurants along Water street
also took part In feeding the multitude.
AT the depot some interesting scenes
attended the arrival Of each train. At
an early hour Sunday morning train
came in having ON board a number of
Philadelphia demimonde, who, with
their male companions, were IN the
height OF glorious drunk. They made
it lively around the depot during the few
minutes the train stopped.
Yesterday afternoon the Ninth New
York Regiment passed through, aud du-
ring the time the train stopped some of
the members amused themselves by
tossing drunken negro In blanket
until the coon was completely sobered
through fright. This performance fur
nished great amusement To the specta-
tors.
Two more trains passed through about
eight o'clock last evening, and the men
aboard seemed almost famishsd. They
made rush tor the restaurant before
the train fully stopped, and the unfor
tunes who tripped and fell were tram
Piled upon by those who came behind
Hats suffered terribly in the stampede.
During the night the extra travel
got through, and to-day only the regu-
lar trains are running.
The accommodation of all these ex-
ira trains without an accident reflects
great credit upon the management of
the p. w. s. B. II. II.

EDITORIAL EXPRESSION.
WHAT A FEW OF TIE PENINSULA
iPAPERs HAVE TO SAY.


The Georgetown Inqutrer:-Ths
friends of the Delaware Western
project are now, it is reasonably to
be supposed, comparatively happy,
as the bill has successfully run the
gauntlet Of both houses. There may
be, and probably are some diflcul-
ties yet in the way before the road
becomes An accomplished fact, but
the main battle il happily over and
the victors are Aow enabled to take
a breathing spell, and recruit their
strength for the building and squip~
ment of the road. That it will
prove to be Of almost incalculable
benefit and profit to this State, even
the enemies of the road will finally
be compelled to admit.
Milford News A general rail-
road law, while relieving the Legiss
lature from the work Of granting
special charters which 6ten times
involve the concession of rights and
privileges not warranted by the
value of the proposed improvement,
throws open to iall capitalists the
right of building railroads within
the State, under such reasonable
and proper regulations as may be
deemed necessary. 1t is probable
that had such law been in force in
Delaware the Baltimore b Ohio
Company would have commenced
the construction Of a competing road
across the State last summer, and
the Legislature would have been
saved from wasting ak weeks OF its
valuable time in being used as a
pawn in game of chess played by
rival railroad corporations.
Sussex Journal.-The lines should be
closely drawn every test vote should
90 upon the record, and then the people,
who are neither blind nor silent when
their rights are invaded, will know pre-
cisely OF many members Of Congress
are so abjeetly submissive to the money
sharks of Wall street as to be forced o
barter away the rights of their constit-
uencies.
Cecil Democrat.-Our railroad inter-
ests are pretty much in the direction OF
Middletown and up among the mills on
the Little Elk. These branch roads
would be feeders, not leechers. The
Middletown Road, under the manage
ment of the b. & y. Road, would be
feeder to Elkton and to Baltimore. The
Little Elk branch, road would accom-
modate the heavy freight Of the mills
on that stream and the farmers for sew
eral miles ON either side of 1t. This is
our present say about railways.
