LOCAL HISTORIES are invariably interest
ing, and the little volume entitled ''Newark
Delaware Past and Present" !" just issued
by Egbert G. Handy, of the Dela,cdre Ledger,
and James L. Vallandigham, DR., ESQ.,, is no
exception to the rule. 1t is a book of handy
size, convenient for carrying about for CON
slant reference, and is composed of a deeply
interesting recital of the most important
events that have marked the career of
"ye ancient town of Newark" For New
ark is quite ancient, as things go in this
country, and received its first "fair and
market charter" full two hundred years
ago. Commencing with this time-honored
charter, older than our own famous aOld
Swedes' Church" /" the local historians de-
tail the most important incidents eulled
from the abstracts and brief chronicles of
the times" and collate them into limited
number Of compact pages, from which they
can be perused with an easy consecu-
tiveness that congresses the happen
1ngs of two centuries within the
compass of an hours reading. The Newark
OF the present is excellently treated, and the
history OF its two famous institutions of
learning-Newark Academy and Delaware
College-exceedingl well written. Alto
gether the work is one which should receive
wide circulation, as it will be found inter
esting and valuable not only to every citizen
OF New Castle county, but to all who claim
Delaware College as their alma mater. 1t
can be obtained from the publishers at
Newark.

THURSDAY, JUNE ss,
a RidIcnloua Q Complaint.


With an impudence almost villainous, the
morning organ attacks Senator Bayard be-
cause he pleaded his official duties at WASH
ington as q reason for asking the postpone
ment of an important case in the United
States Circuit Court, in this city, in which
he was counsel. The case was continued
and the court adjourned, which action, the
morning organ alleges, shows that MIR.
Bayard had no business to be concerned
us az supremely ridiculous for the morning
organ to assume such an untenable position.
Senator Bayard's request was just and
reasonable-as he did not wish to neglect his
public duties at this time, or prejudice the
interests of his, clients by having the case
tried by associate counsel during his absence
but If the Court saw fit TO accommodate
him he should not be blamed for its action.
The honorable judges were aware of the
condition of affairs in the Court room, and
surely, they would not have adjourned the
session had there been probability of such
a move being followed by direful results.
The burden of the morning organs com
tor Bayard was retained in this case. at
"was not necessary" it says, because of
scarcity Of lawyers-Delaware is full of
them, and good lawyers, too. This is
the whole secret of the attack, and is fair
warning to persons involved in important
legal difficulties, that they must seek the
morning organs friends for assistance
in court. Thus there will be estab-
lished sort of patent attorney
bureau, where eminent legal lumi-
naries win be held in reserve, and the liti-
gious public will be asked to come forward
and take their pick when circumstances i'm
pei them to seek the aid of the law, under
the awful penalty, should they dare to dis
regard the attaches of the bureau, of having
the attorneys of their own selection roundly
abused for looking after their interests
Seriously, this attack upon Senator
Bayard is one of the most disgraceful of the
many contemplate actions the morning
organ has been guilty of. 1t is an ebullition
of personal spite against a distinguished
lawyer of this city, made solely because he
is a Senator from the State of Delaware in
the Senate of the United States, and al
eminent advocate of the principles of tn
Democratic party. 1t is thrust at tn
learned judges of the court over tn
shoulders of Senator Bayard, and is fai
sample of the petty spirit that actuate
those who come into Delaware from othe
States with the idea that our peopl
are community of heathens who need tn
eivilizing teachings of New York or Penn
sylvania enlightenment before they can ad
vance to the state of rational beings
Political missionaries of this character hay
made brilliant failures in this line in yeal
gone by, and the New York editor of tf
morning organ does not seem inclined I
profit by their lamentable examples.

CAMERoN's CONVENTION, yesterday
threw another tub to the Independent whale
by the nomination of Marriott Brosius. or
Lancaster, as the candidate for Congress
man-at-large, but at the same time sat down
hard upon the proposition to make further
overtures to the Independent element by
calling new Convention. This
last move Cameron will not agree
to until he feels assured the
election of delegates will result in his
personal triumph, for to him a square
Republican defeat would be preferable to an
Independent victory. The political situa-
tion in Pennsylvania is now in the hands of
the Democracy, and good nominations,
backed by hearty, united support, will
sweep Cameronism and Republicanism alike
from the Keystone State.

features of our trade for two
months past. We have had

More than that. Whatever
grenadines are in the whole

prices now from those of the

buying to sell at half-value.

Gen. Hancoch's Missouri Earsn.
Ssdalia (Mo. Dispatch]

AS is generally known Gen. W. 9. Han
cock makes annual visits to thisI city on
his way to his farm, which lies mile east
of the town of Windsor, in Henry county.
nineteen miles from Sedalia. The general
returned from visit to the farm yester-
day, and a Dispatch reporter learned from
him the following particulars as to the
manner in which he came to possess the
land, as we'll as description of it: In
1850 the general was a captain, and the
surgeon of his regiment, DR.. Abernethy,
was seized with a speculative fever, and
began to buy up the land warrants issued
to the soldiers of the Mexican war of 1916.
AS the General had already received war
rant for his own personal service, he was
very easily induced to buy four other war
rants of 100 acres each, the location of
which he entrusted to. the surgeon, who
came to Missouri to lay them along with
his own. Arriving here the doctor sold
one of the warrants. which happened 70 be
that given to the general for personal ser
vice. The. other four the doctor located on
the land referred to. The general intend
ed to give this land to his daughter, but
she died, and he has ever since refused to
sell it, A short time ago he purchased a
small tract adjoining, giving him in sol
id body $50 acres. All of the tract is high
rolling prairie, with the exception of abou,
seventy acres, which lies on a little
creek called Elm, and upon which there is
a slight growth of timber. The entire
tract is enclosed with barbed-wirs fence
and there are numerous cross fences. Five
hundred and fifty acres in blue grass, and
the remainder of the tract, excepting the
timber land. is what the farmers term
pillow land. There are two ordinary ten
ant houses on the tract, but the genera
on his recent visit gave orders to have 6
very respectable frame house erected on 6
beautiful site. The general says the great
est enjoyment he experiences is his visits
to this farm.
