Several prominent New York Democrats
called upon Mr.. Tilden the other day and
were much surprised at the. agility with
which he climbed into carriage. But after
the agility he has displayed in climbing on
the back of the Democracy, and resisting all
efforts to shake him off until he got ready to
get down, nothing in that line should sur
prise anybody.

Attorney General Brewster testimony be-

No violent gales have been reported in the
Northwest lately, yet the Hon. F. M. Fogg
spoke at Detroit the other night and it is a
well known fact that Fogg never opens his

says he is still for Butler and declares that
the only thing that can stop Butler from be-

death. A hundred or SO campaign speeches
in his behalf by the Hon. F. M. Fogg would.

The President has appointed Hon. John

St. Petersburg. Both appointments are good

ers of the Wilmington g. Philadelphia

of "a Commuter," that has had some

than five miles, leaving off one Of the
fractions he spoke of.

pose to the committee of farmers who
applied to Squire VIM, II Brady onMay

THE CASE Of THE BUTCHERS.
The Argument before Judge Cum
minis Again PostDOnpO.


The trouble In reference 10 the butch
ers and others selling meat on the
curb IN the King street market is no,
yet settled. Saturday was set as
the time for bearing Mr.. Birds argu.
ment in behalf OF the three farmers ar
estrd for violating the ordinance, but
on account of that gentleman being
very unexpectedly called 10 Washing.
ton Friday night it wasagain post pom
| cd.
There is no doubt bnt that Judge
Cummins will deliver his opiniu IN
the case after hearing the argument,
the parties interested, an appeal will be
taken to the County Court. TIE suits
are brought under Section 2 of "an
ordinance Establishing and Regulating
the Pubic Markets Of the City Of Will
mington, which reads as follows:
sit shall be- lawful for any farmer or
butcher to sell from his vehicle on the
sidewalks of King street and Madison
street, on the public marke; days with
in the market hours prescribed by this
Ordinance, slaughtered cattle, hogs,
sheep and calves, which were raised
and fed on the lands owned or rented
by the sellers thereof, either by the
whole quantity or in cut pieces, which
shall ihClnde lard, sausage and scrapple
manufactured by such seller on his
own or rented lands, from animals
raised and fed thereon, and none others !;
and if any butcher or simmer, whose
principal business Is Strengthening ami
mails for sale, or who purchases slaugh-
tered animals for the purpose OF selling
the same for n livelihood, shall sell al
such curbstone market, any meats not
raised and fed ou the lands which fe
owns or rents, on the sidewalks Of tie
public markets aforesaid, he shall upon
conviction thereof forfeit AID pay for
every such otiense a fine of five
dollars"
This section was afterwards amended
so as to permit any one to sell lDeaJ in
the Madison street market.
Some OF the butchers, believing that
Council had no authority to pass an
ordinance discriminating in this mar
ner, continued to sell on King street,
and few weeks since Clerk Of the
Market AinscOw had "A warrant issued
tor Edwin A. Harrison, IA weltknown
bu cher doing business on King street,
between Fourth and Fifth streets, on a
charge Of violating this section of the
ordinance.
Mr.. Harr son employed counsel, and
had his case postponed, and in the
meantime warrants We're issued for the
three country butchers, who, it is
claimed, are also violating the law.
These men employed Levi G. Bird,
Esq.. who, it is understood, will con-
tend that the ordinance is illegal, and
it is probable that before the matter is
settled the whole question of the power
or legal rights of City Council to estab'
lish curbstone markets on any street
will be fully ventilated.
