ReDublicnn county CommltGee.

There should be full meeting of the
New Castle County Republican Kxecu.
tive Committee, tomorrow afternoon.
An important work is before the party
and upon its action, energy and wis
dom, depends the redemption of the
State from Democratic misrule. Every
effort should be made to get out every
legal vote of the party in November
and to DO this the Executive Commit
tee should commence work early and
never stop until the last Republican vote
is polled on the evening of the second
Tuesday of November. Nothing should
be done at the m Getting tomorrow which
would ALLEVIATE single member, but
all that is done should be based upon a
sincere desire and purpose to secure a
sweeping victory in the County and
State. The Wilmington City election
which gave the city a Republican
Mayor and a Republican police, has
stricken the Democratic heart with ter.
TOR, from which they can not recover
in time to recruit their shattered forces.
Republicans can for once go to the polls
and vote without having to run the
gauntlet of line Of Democratic regu-
lar and special police and special Depu-
~ Sheriffs appointed only to intimidate
and Overawe honest voters more than
30 protect them and to preserve the
peace. The political skies are bright
with promise for the success OF the Re-
publicaus. Wise counsels, activity and
constant work from now until the cleo
lion, is ali that is needed to crown the
party with one of the grandest vlcto-
ries it has ever achieved in Delaware
10 effect this purpose let every Repub-
lican member of the County Executive
CDnmittea be present at the meeting
10 morrow, to organize the party and
help ON the good work.

Republican party, the city is accredited
with forty delegates.

of seventy eight. This number of course
cannot be increased, except by the &C.

Who're Pension MONEY Go e.

A Sepate resolution calling for infor-
nation about pension has brought Out
some interesting facts. There were
close upon go, 900 pensioners on the
last September, when the annual stats
tics were made up, but about twelve
thousand PENSIONS had lapsed through
not being called for during three sue,
cessive years, and five thousand were
those of sailors whose residences were
not known. The actual number paid
was 252, 851, the amount being $51, 224, :
204. New York State heads the list.
To her 32,024 pensioners the annual sum
of So, 1852 was given, but arrears
brought the amount up to $3.50, All.
Pennsylvania %, 292 pensioners re-
quired S5,746, 802 and Ohio's "a, 66S
had 81, 94l, $50. More than two million
dollars each went to Indiana, Iowa,
Maine, Massachusetts, and Michigan;
more than one million each to Kansas,
Kentucky. Missouri and New Jersey,
The Third Congressional district of
Maine surpassed all others in the
amount 1t received. The next annual
statistics reported will show ABOUT
twice as great an outlay.

JI,,ed Widow Sues a Man OF ~

Augusta (Me,) Journal, June 27.
In the Superior Court for Kennebec
county, on Monday, the breach off prom
ise case of Elizabeth Perkins against
Curtis Higgins came to trial. Both
parties reside in Belgrade. The plain
tiff is blushing widow of So, with
children 40 years old, while the deten-
dant's hair is silvered By the frosts of
70 winters, aud his youngest sou is a
sturdy young man of "a.
Mrs. Perkins claimed that her feel
ings were lacerate1 to the extent of
$1,000 BY the faithlessness of the gay
widower. In September, 1881, the
tender passion was kindled in the sus-
ceptible breast OF Mr.. Higgins, and he
approached the fair Elizabeth with
proposals of marriage, it is claimed.
At first she rejected his suit, but the
swain was not easily discouraged, and
continued his attentions until she final
ly consented to name the hlissful day.
All went smoothly for awhile with the
lovers, and their engagement was an
nounced in the grocery stores and dis
cussed over the tea ables in the goodly
town of Belgrade.
The time for the nuptials approached
and, in anticipation of a serenade, Mr..
Higgins purchased peck of peanuts
and Instructed his intended to lay in a
supply Of porter and apples with which
to "treat the young men who should
make the air Of night vocal with their
roundelay"
But alas for mans Inconsistency !!
Elizabeth began to notice a growing
GOODNESS in her lovers attentions. His
affections gradually became estranged
from her and conferred upon another
tender widow named Maria Brown, and
Mrs, Perkins, in part compensation for
this havoc with her affections, brought
suit against the tritler.
Mr.. Higgins claimed rebuttal that
the children of his intended bride OBJ
ject to the match; that he didn't want
to marry into family quarrel; and
that lately having come into possession |
of some $1,000 or $1100 pension money.
Elizabeth was animated not so much
by affection for him as by mercenary
motives. Able counsel argued the case
on both sides, and the jury, after due
deli5eration, broughtin verdict of $25
damages for plaintiff.

Reiistr,c11ng south Carolina

The Legislature OF South Carolina,
Just adjourned, created shoe string
district in that State. There had to be
seven districts formed, but the Demo-
Gratis generously concluded not to take
but six of them, consigning the sew
enth to the Republicans, but crowding
into it a population of 186,55O souls,
compared TO 119, 900 in the first district,
which the Democrats expect to carry
easily. The seventh district contains
about 81 900 white and 155, 900 colored
population. The Charleston News and
Courier estimates the number of white
voters at 1000, and the number OF col
Ored voters at 81, 900. The Courier very
complacently comedies this district to
The Republicans, but thinks the Demo-
Gratis are sure of all the others, although
the First district contains colored ma
jority of 1900 the Second, 5000; the
Fifth, /, 400 and the Sixth, 1900. The
shoe string district in Mississippi is
said to Oe marvel of symmetry when
compared with this new product of the
Bourbon Democracy of South Carolina.
In order to gloss over the infamy of
this scheme to nullify the great Repub
1ican majority of the State, the News
and Courier, the leading Bourbon Or
gan of South Carolina, makes the re.
mArkable misstatement that the State
Of New York is blessed with Republic
can Legislature, and it will be found that
the population in the Congressional Dis.
tricts varies from 10, 035 in the xviii
District to 1,2O6, ST. in the New York |
City District" OF course this is un.
true as the population mentioned in
New York is represented by at least
nine Congressman. As the South Caro-
lima Democrats have disfranchised &c.
900 citizens in one Congressional Dis
trict, Senator Bayard and the Democ.
xacy of Delaw are can now breathe easier
rs there are only about $4,000 disfran.
Ghised citizens in New Castle County
alone. As South Carolina is favorite
talking ground for Mr.. Bayard, who
knows but this DISTINGUISHING scheme
may have been imported into that State
by the Delaware Senator?

open to serious objection and the plan
has only been adopted and adhered to
on account of having no other known
plan that was better. This question OF
representation has been fully consld-
cred in other places, and in nearly all

has been adopted and has been found to
be an equitable arrangement which
fully represents the party and wrongs

In the U. S. Senate, on Thursday
Mr.. Hoar, from the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported q bill adding $500 pei
annum to the salaries of all U. S. Dis.
trict Judges, except in California. he
asked unanimous consent for its con-
sideration, but Mr.. Salisbury objected,
and the bill went to the calendar. Mr..
Morrill,, from the Finance Commit tee,
reported, with amendments, the House
bill to reduce internal taxation, which
vas ordered printed. The River and
Harbor bill was taken up, and Mr.. Nc
MILAN, chairman of the Committee on
Commerce, explained its provisions,
Various amendments reported by the

able opposition was manifested to the
Hennepin Canal item, and the discus.
sion continued for some time. Pending

session, and afterwards adjourned.
In the House, Mr.. Belmont called up
the motion to reconsider the vote refus

joint resolution authorizing the Presi-
dent to call an International O Inference

Naval Appropriation bill was consid-
cred in Committee of the Whole, and
passed. During its consideration an
exciting passage occurred between Mes

out of an attack upon the latter by the
former. Immediately after the passage

Robson. The latter briefly rejoined,

The high prices of marketing SILL
continue and from thousands of anxious
people, who can scarcely make end
meet, comes the inquiry, how long il
this to continue? Thus far there is nj
abatement in the prices of meat by the
butchers. Whether these high prices
are due, as alleged, to the wholesale de-
struction of cattle in the Western
SHOWS of 1879 or to the speculation of a
few dealers really matters nothing to
the Individual buyer, as he can effect
neither the one cause nor the other by
anything which he can do. He has,
however, a personal remedy in his own
hands, which is to buy no meat. A re-
course to this simple expedient for only
week would bring down the rates of
meat. Unfortunately with many house.
keepers meat has come to be looked
upon as the staff of life instead of
bread. The average housekeeper actu
ally does not know that there are
articles whicL supply precisely the
same kind and amount of nutriment
in the human body as the flesh of ami
mails. The present is suitable time
for the study by them. The cheaper
cuts of beef and mutton too, are quite
as appetizing and nutritious as the
choice parts, if little more attention
and skill be given to their preparation
for the table. There are many house
holds, too, where oatmeal, fish and the
variety CT vegetables that are now
coming to market are scarcely known,
and there are whole races of men,
sturdy and long lived men, too, who
have been reared ON these articles of
food instead of meat. The present
prices, annoying as they may be, will
have their uses if they force the lavish,
reckless American consumer in learn.
ne these long neglected lessons in do
nestle economy.

''Deat" Loves q SHINING Mark,

death Loves q Shining Mark,
1t is with feelings of profound sor.
row that we refer to the sudden death
of our old friend and respected citizen
ex-Mayor Joshua s. Valentine. Though
to our surprise he had reached the age
of seventy one, more than the allotted
time for man to live, he was apparently
robust and in the enjoyment of good
health. Only yesterday morning on
his way to his place of business he
stopped as was the usual custom at
the REPUBLICAN office, took glance
over the exchanges which he was al
ways welcome to, and engaged cheer
fully in conversation. Little did he,
and little did we think that before the
shades of evening should obscure the
sun that the shades of death had closed
his eyes forever to all earthly sights.
Surely, "in the midst of life we are in
DEATH" and the admonition comes for
chilly to every one, "be ye also ready
for in such an hour as ye think not the
Son of Man cOmeth." Ex-Mayor Val
entine was gentleman of many ster-
ling qualities of heart and unconscious
ly attracted friends. Full of kindly
benevolent feelings he could not look a
man in the face without imparting the
same kind and genial spirit. AS leg.
islator, patriot, soldier, ruler, a
business man he measured up to the
full standard of each, and he goes down
to the grave, respected and honored by |
all who knew him. In the grave that
soon will hide him from our sight, the
pnblic will drop tear of sympathy.
A fitting inscription to his memory
would be: Gle was my friend"
