DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
Legislative Fraud.

Congress will probably adjourn to-day,
after one Of the longest and most profit
less sessions ever held in Washington.
The session has lasted eight months, and
during this time scarcely a measure of re-
lief demanded by the people has been even
considered, much less enacted. The great
question of tariff revision has been placed in
the hands Of slOw-going commission. while
the enormous surplus revenue accumulated
by the present onerous system Of national
taxation has been seized upon and made the
pretext for the most outrageous thefts Of the
peoples money under the guise of public
appropriations
In fact, the present Congress has swindled
the people in the most shameless manner.
The appropriations show an increase of
nearly seventy millions over those of last
year, which we're large enough in all con-
science. But as long as the present tariff,
system, with its oppressive features and un-
necessary revenues, continues to exist, there
will be the same temptation to indulge in,
Congressional jobbery, and increase instead
Of reduce the public expenditures.
The whole country will experience feel
ing Of relief when this corrupt and extrava-
giant Congress adjourns and the jobbing
members return to face their outraged con
stituents. 1t is safe to predict that many of
them will be requested TO remain at home
on an extended leave of absence, for the
tax payers are not likely to re-elect men
whose sole object has been to increase their
financial burdens instead of legislating for
their relief
And If the people are alive TO their own
interests they will make sure that another
Republican Congress will not sit In Wash
ington for many years. The first attempt a
national retrenchment and economy sine,
the war was made by a Democratic House o
Representatives, which reduced the ex
penses forty millions OF dollars in one ses
sion, but in an unwise moment, blinded BY
party zeal and influenced by the money
ilched from Office holders and contributed
by the vast monied corporations Of the
country, the people cut loose from this rocl
of salvation and again placed their affair
in the hands of Congress In which the die
tates of the lobby were paramount to tn
real interests of the country. A Democrats
shortcomings, but, judging by past exper
ence, it will possess the merit of honesty
and the corrupt lobby will flee from Wash
ington at its approach.
The people of Delaware have paid
million dollars year for over fifteen yeal
to the support of the general Goyernmer
and are therefore deeply interested in tn
question of national retrenchment an
reform. If they desire to reduce the enor
nous 1.-THE they are obliged to contribute t
the maintenance of our costly and extrava
CANT government, they will see to it thG
Delaware sends a representative who wi
array himself with his fellow Democrats o
the side of the people and against the col
rupt jObbers who have revelled in the hal
OF Congress during the memorable sessiC

THB REPUBLICAN managers thought
they were doing smart thing when they
appointed Stewart, a colored preacher of
this city, as a member of the State Central
Committee. The preacher in politics, !"
however, does not seem to suit a majority
Of the cOlored voters, and besides they
object to being represented by "carpet-
bagger," who has been here scarcely
long enough to entitle him to a
vote. 1t is altogether likely they
will force the reverend committeeman
to step down and out, and compel him to
tarry awhile in Jericho " until his political
beard grows to sufficient proportions to
warrant him in assuming the leadership of
his brethren in Delaware. Mr.. Henry and
other influential colored men who have
lived here all their lives very Justly object
to being cody turned down for the benefit
of this ring-bound interloper.
