WILMINGTON. FRIDAY. FEB o.
The sherinaity Contest.

The very full and comprehensive opinion
of Chief Justice Comegys in the Lynch
Martin Sherihalty contest, which was pub
iished In yesterdays GAZETTE, and the con-
curing opinion Of Judge Houston, effectu-
ally dispose Of the matter, aud, unless
further proceedings are taken, leave james
Mlrtin in undisputed possession of the
Office.
While no doubts can exist as to the sound
ness Of the judicial opinions in this interest
ing contest, 1t Is unfortunate that their effect
IL TO turn the contestant out of court upon
= mere technlcslity, without any opportun-
fly TO examine into TIE real merits of the
case. 1t was alleged In his petition and
affidavits that certain votes were illegally
cast for James Martin for Sheriff in
North Christiana hundred election district,
but for the reason that he Jailed to specify
the names OF the parties so voting, his pro
ceedings were defective and be was left with
out case.
In an affair so uncertain as an election
contest it is hard to foretell the result, but il
is matter of regret that this contest could
not go far enough to at least prove In open
court the shameless frauds that were
praetised at some of the polling places in
this county during the last general
election. The bold manner in which
the signatures of the county collee-
tors were autographed and their
seals forged upon bogus tax receipts loudly
calls for investigation and punishment, and
it would be but simple justice to require
some of the Inspectors who accepted votes
upon these impudent credentials to give
some reason for their simple credulity.
Ample evidences Of these frauds were in the
possession OF Mr.. Lynch and bis friends,
and could have been readily produced had
the case reached an issue.
As far as Mr. Lynch is concerned further
contest is useless, but it is not yet too late
to search for the manipuIators Of these
fraudulent devices and arraign them for the
punishment they so justly deserve.

IFIr is the intention Of the Board of Edu.
cation to lower the grade of the Howard
(colored) school simply as pretext FOL
lowering the salary attached to the principal
ship, to which position Miss Cruise, col.
ored teacher, has just been promoted, The
so, ner the intention is abandoned tht
better. If Miss Cruise is not well qualified
for the position she is not entitled to it, but
IL she is competent in all respects to perform
the duties of her predecessor then she
81. uld receive the same compensation.
T. is argument is ''as plain as A, B, C, and
the Board will simply stultify itself in en-.
deavoring TO eyade its logical conclusion.
The daily gazette., 1883-02-09

The TENDENCY of Congress to impose
not only cumbersome but incomprehensible
duties in the new tariff bill is fully Illus
trated in the wool and woolens schedule OF
the bill now before the Senate, which is SO
voluminous and confused that even It's sup
porters can not give it a full and explicit con.
struction. Senator Bayard endeayored to
have this unsatisfactory provision substi.
tuted by a plain imposition of a duty
amounting to twenty-five per cent. ad
valorem, which every dealer in goods
of this description would readily understand,
but this maniiestly wise and proper sug-
gestion was defeated by the Republican ma
jority for no assigned reason whatever.
Evidently the ide Of Congress is TO impose
duties the extent of which will be measured
only by the construction to be put upon the
law by those entrusted with the work oil
collection.

SUPERIOR COURT
The Mechanics Lien Law Under Discus
sion-Aaron's Houses.


sion-Aaron's Houses.
At the afternoon session Of the Superior
Court Benjamin Nelds, Esq, filed, as
counsel for Samuel McGlary ,Jr., exceptions
to the claims of Messrs CuTlett for labor
and material furnished in the building of
seven houses then owned by James II.
Aaron, but since sold 10 Mr.. McClary The
claim was made on lien brought under
the Mechanics Lien law early In 1882. The
defendant eontended that no contractor who
in the whole or part furnished any material
for the construction Of the repair II
building could iile a lien on thu
same until 80 days after the com
pletion Of the work and within 30 days
after the expiration of the 80 days; that in
stead the plaintiff filed his lien II days after
| his work was finished. Messrs. Bird, john
ston and Hayes, for plaintiff, urged that the
same statute required those who had per.
formed the labor or who had supplied the
material to file their liens within the 80
days If at all, in order to ret in their claims
| ahead Of the contractor, as they were en-
| titled to do. James II. Aaron, Mr.. Bird
| eontendfd, was both the owner and con-
| tractor for the buildings and that the
! Curletts, as laborers and iGrnishers of ma.
terial, were entitled to the provision of this
statute which required such parties to file
within 90 days
Chief Justice Comegys decided, Judge
| Houston concurring, that Aaron could moi
| be regarded as both contractor and owner
| that there was no contractor in this case
standing between the owner and the plain.
| tiffs that the plaintiffs were the only con.
tractor; that contractor could not file hit
/ lien until after the expiration of 80 days
after the completion of the work and that
therefore, the plaintiffs had no case.
There were number of other suits pend
ing in which workmen employed in III,
erection of houses by Aaron were endeavor
| Ing to have their claims satisfied, but the,
were all postponed until February 27, prin
cipally owing To the illness of j. II
Hohecker, Esq, counsel for one Of thi
parties.
The greater portion of the afternoon wa
passed in an informal discussion of the cor
rectinterpretationo of the Mechanics Lien law

Mr.. PAINTER expressed public sentiment
as well as the sentiment of his fellow-mem-
bers of City Council when he protested last
night against the " bully-ragging propen-
stiles of Councilman Quinn. As the Ga
zETrE's dictionary has thus far failed to
have the desired effect, the next thing in
order is stuffed club, with special power
conferred upon the bailiff TO use it in The
most lusty and effective manner.

Gould and Bennett as Yachtmen.
Washington Letter.


An experienced naval officer in charge
of one of the best vessels of the govern
ment was recently offered the command
of Jay Gould's yacht for its cruise around
tho world. The officer was not able to
get the requisite leave and so declined
the tempting offer. This officer is very
well acquainted with Gould. He says:
"Unless the captain of that yacht is 4
very strong man, with decided will of
his own, he will have anything but
pleasant time. You see if anything goes
wrong Gould will not be q pleasant man
as an employer. He intends to be the
captain himself, and only employ the
chief officer as a navigator. That will
never do. Any man who takes c,mmand
of the yacht, in order TO be successful,
must be the absolute commander, while
Nh Gould must never be more than
privileged passenger. In other words,
there will be times when the captain in
the interests of the vessel may have TO
20 directly contrary to the wishes Of the
owner.
II remember a case in point" continu-
ed he, "where an able officer nearly lost
yacht and his life. James Gordon Ben
nett came on to his yacht at Newport one
night about midnight. Nearly all of the
crew were ashore or asleep. A terrible
storm was blowing outside. Mr.. Bennett
ordered steam up at once, as he wanted
to 60 to New York. The captain remon-
strated. He said to go out in the face of
the storm that was blowing outside would
be simple madness. The vessel would
almost certainly founder. Bennett would
not listen to a word of this. He owned
the yacht. He wanted to 60 to New
York at once. The captain was weak
man, and did not have the back bone to
refuse to 50. Bennett went to the state
room. The crew was summoned, and
out went the yacht into one of the black
est and ugliest storms ever known upon
the New England coast. The moment
the yacht got fairly out into the sea
where it could feel the full force Of the
gale Bennett was sobered and frightened
to death. He ordered the yacht to run
back. 1t took two hours to get about and
fight a way in again, during which time
the vessel nearly foundered dozen
times. Mr.. Bennett was only too glad
to get ashore early in the morning and
take a train for New York"

Remnants OF The Cyclone.

A meeting of the Philadelphia citizens
relief committee was held to make some
disposition of the unexpended balance Of
the $50, 600 fund, contributed for the re-
lief of sufferers by western floods. 1t
was decided to appropriate $500 for the
sufferers of Cincinnati, and $1,000 for
those in Louisville. At another meeting
a motion to appropriate the remainder of
the funds to the relief of sufferers by
western tornadoes was adopted.
On the farm of Glenn brothers, near
Hillsborough, Illinois, saw-logs two feet
in diameter were picked up and carried
away like feathers. Trees were stripped
of their leaves, and in many instances
bark was peeled off. In the same vicini-
ty large steer was blown into the forks
of tree and the tree afterward blown
down and the steer crushed to death.
The storm struck a farm house and
barn near Mason City, Illinois, demolish-
ing the house and barn, killing a child
and hired girl, breaking Mrs Stones
arm and injuring others, and killing
three horses. Hail fell north of Topeka,
and near Manitoice fell in chunks and
