THE DEMOCRATS have gained nothing
in the decision of the Court of Errors
and Appeals, as the decision of the
Court below was reversed because the
Court sitting in Sussex County had no
Jurisdiction in matters that pertained
to New Castle County where the offence
was committed. The only other quib-
BILE was that the writ of compulsory
mandam US should have included the
name of the Republicans as we'll as the
Democratic Inspector. The real facts
upon which the case rested before the
decision were substantially affirmed by
the Court. The actions of the Democrat
ic Inspectors were unsparingly denoun.
ced and they were told that they had
no right to reject vote after it had been
cast and placed in the ballot box. 1t
will be recollected that by rejecting the
vote of a man named Bush, tie was
erected and then the Inspector f. c.
Knight gave the casting vote in favor
of the Democratic candidate. The
Gazette is mistaken when 1t says the
actions of the Democratic Inspectors
we're approved by the Court of Errors
and Appeals. On the contrary the
Court condemned them severely and
iecided the case against the Court be-
ow on account Of want of jurisdic. ]
ion.

Mr.. FRANK f. SMITH has been
awarded the nomination for the office
of Coroner by the Democrats Of New
Castle county. This was his first run
for the office. and that his party has
chosen him in preference to Mr.. Barley
and Mr.. mclaughlin, old candidates
and crippled men deserving of the Of
flee, is certainly no fault of his. But
what will the friends of these poor
crippled, men to whom the office would
have been rich boon, think of the
party? They must surely come to the
conclusion that there is no Groom in their
party for cripples mentally qualified
when new candidate offers himself

beyond the possibility of want or dan.
ger of want with good management
during her life, and she richly deserves
it all. She has $500, 900 in Govern ment
bonds, the result of the popular sub.
scription raised for her. She has re.
ceived $50, 900 for which her husband s
life was insured. The unpaid salary Of
the President was $4,000 which has
been paid to her, and the real estate
possessions of her husband is 1000
more. This makes total of $4OO, 900,
the income Of which cannot be less than
S16, 900 year, on which she can live
very comfortably, and if this should
not reach expenses, the government
pension Of $4,000 year besides will
enable her to make both ends meet.
She is certainly in good circumst stances
aud there is not a true
loyal citizen of this great Nation that
will say she has too much. May she

As WE predicted they would, the
Democrats on Saturday afternoon nom
mated Purnal j. Lynch as their candi-
date for Sheriff over j. R. G. Oldham,
the only competitor in the field.
Alarmed by the unpopularity Of Mr..
Lynch many of the Democrats sup.
ported Mr.. Oldham for the purpose of
Strengthening the ticket at the Novem-
Der election, but the larger part of the
party carried out the cantract made
before Mr.. Lynch resigned the collec.
torship of St. Georges Hundred, to give
him a unanimous nomination, and with
Democratic Mayor and police Of Will.
mington to force his election which he
lost in 1880. Will the Democratic
party be able to deliver the goods?
Sanguine indeed must Le the Democrat
who expects it to be done. Mr.. Lynch,
it is true, has done much for the party
to make it successful, but his work has
been of such a character that it does
not commend itself to the honest and
conscientious members of his party
for there are still Democrats who be.
lieve that a collectors duty was more
to collect the taxes on the duplicate
handed to him than to disfranchise one
third of the Republican party of his
own hundred by not collecting their
taxes. Had the Republicans been al.
lowed to vote at last Saturdays nomi-
nation election, and had they been
guided by political motives alone they
would have given Mr.. Lynch an almost
solid vote, as he was the candidate who
was certainly the most vulnerable and
will be easiest beaten at the general |
election. So far as the Sheriff is con.
cerned the issue is made up and the
Of the two great parties are
before the people. A singular coinci-
dence mark both. They are both ex-
county tax collectors and both have
been defeated for the office for which
they are now nominated. So far as
their actions are concerned as tax col.
lectors they are before the people.
Which will they choose, Mr.. Martin,
'he honest collector, who collected taxes

WILD HORSES IN AUSTRALIA.

The few horses which, escaping now and
then from the paddocks of colonists on the
edge of the settled districts of Australia,
have made themselves at home in the free
dom and abundant pastures of the interior,
have multiplied to such an extent that, not
withstanding the numbers captured or shot
every year, ii is estimated that there are
something like 100, 900 of them in the two
most populous colonies-Yictoria and New
South Wales-or roaming over the plains
Immediately contiguous to their borders. To
European ears the proposal to have..a days
horse-shooting sounds inexpressibly bar
barous; but the Australian farmers near the
interior regard the troops of wild horses
which may often be seen trespassing on their
enclosed lands as vermin. They do not
possess any of the qualities which often
make the wild horses of the South American
plains valuable, and, besides destroying veg
citation which might be made to support
more valuable life, they not infrequently
tempt the settlers horses to join them and
adopt yagabond life. Worse than this
they are suspected of communicating dis

pasture through the winter Here flowers
bloom perennial. Here only is paradise
of roses and other fragrant flowers cultivat-

pee pastures all the year, the hivers gather
honey every day, and, abstaining themselves
they give to man nearly their whole produc-

draw upon their boarded sweets. Feath-

COAST LIGHTHOUSES.
Difficulties the Engineer Must Overcome
In Erecting Them.


In Erecting Them.
1t requires the very perfection of science
and art of civil engineering to Withstand the
frantic commissions of nature, and nothing
that is not true to well digested and skillful-
ly combined plans can hope to tame her to
subsection. The experienced engineer who
undertakes to build lighthouse confronts
complex problem involving questions most
difficult of solution For stations rising out
of the water he has first temporarily and
then permanently to Withstand the direct
action of the ocean, power which Is eating
away even the roekbound shores and head
lands of our coast. The force of wave action
is often as much as 6,000 pounds to the
square foot of exposed surface, and the force
is indefinitely modified by the shape and
character of the bottom, the trend of the
coast, the rake of the waves, the strength of
the currents, the shape of the tide, the rela-
tive bearing of the coast, the strongest
winds and by the shapes of the buildings to
be erected To this must be added consid-
Grafton of probable changes and attritions
of the tide, the impact of hurricanes in its
tendency to overturn, of the cost and kind
of materials, of questions of keeping, and,
in short plan combining nautical engineer
ing as well as architectural practice is the
special condition of the stable erection of
the station and the efficiency of the light.
The use of iron towers is becoming quite
general in the Lighthouse Service of the
United States, not only for stations built on
pile foundations, but for shore stations rs
built of iron plates, with Hanges cast SO true
that the joints are exact and tight. The
tower is octagonal in form and consists of
eight stories surmounted by balcony and
the lantern, with plain mouldings and cor
nice and square windows all the way up, the
whole resting on q concrete foundation eley-
en- feet in depth. The lens apparatus and
lamps are OF. the first order. The fog sig
nal, housed apart, is q siren of the first class,
manufactured in this city. From base to
top the lighthouse measures 155 feet, with a
diameter at the base of thirty feet and at the
top of sixteen feet. There are six stories,
above which are service room,
watch room, lantern room, and finally
the roof. Its total weight is 100000
pounds, 1000 pounds of bolts alone being
required to put it together. The base ard
windows are deliberately ornamented with
castings, while handsome iron railing sur
rounds the watch room. Many of the bolts
ere one and three-fourths inches in diam
eter at one end and seven-eights of an inch
at She other, which is considered in the trade
an extraordinary size.
