BLAINE was dined and wined at Delmon

BLAINE was dined and wined at Delmon-
ico's in New York, yesterday, by Levi Nor
ton, Cyrus W. Field, Jay Gould, Henry
Cloves, John Roach, and number of other
Wall street spectators, contractors, rail-
road magnates &c, &c. He was also wait
ed upon by delegation Of ministers"
among whom a correspondent noticed such
characters as Johnny Davenport, Barney
Biglin and John O'Brien, and it took three
days, hard work, to secure the attendance
of those who were present These min
listers" presented Blaine with resolutions
expressive of their confidence and admira-
ton, declaring that the success Of the
republican party is essential to the welfare
of the country and the preservation of the
results of the late civil strife. Confidence
is expressed in the purity of Mr.. Blaine, and
q protest entered against the coronation
of conceded personal impurity as represent
ed by the head of the democratic ticket"
declaring such nomination All insult 10
Christian civilization. The resolutions also
appeal to voters not to help the democrats
by voting for the prohibition candidate, nor
to support the man at the head Of the dem
ocratic ticket, whose name is now the cor
spicuous synonym for incapacity and incon
tinency." Dr. Burchard, of the Murray
Hill Presbyterian Church, in presenting the
resolutions said I'VE are republicans, and
don't propose to leave our party and dent-
fy ourselves with the party whose an
tecedents have been RUM, RoMANIsM and
REBELLION"
Mr.. Blaine, the dispatch says was deeply
affected by the address and made u reply,
in which he said he realized the full weight
of the sentiments expressed, and agreed
with them that a party could not be sepa
rated from its history any more than man
from his character.

stated that
THE election ofSamuel Burdette, repub.
lican candidate for prosecuting attorney of

ground of ineligibility."
There is no Burdette here, and Jefferson
is not that kind of a county. Her prescott.

SUPERVISORS AND MARsHALs.-A com
mitteo of citizens of Norfolk telegraphed
Judge Robert W. Hughes, of the United
States Court, yesterday, asking him to use
his influence to see that marshals for cleo.
ton be appointed from both parties Judge
Hughes sent the following reply:
1.-THE election laws of Congress give me the
appointment of supervisors. In my appoint
ments have in every case given one super
visor to each party. These laws give the
United States marshal the appointment OF
deputy marshals for elections in cities. They
studiousy give me no control over him in
his appointment of deputy marshals il con
nectiun with Federal elections, and he him
self is not appointed or removed by me. /
therefore cannot order him, but l earnestly
request him in his appointment Of deputy
marsha's in Norfolk to give representation
on his force to both parties certainly SO if
the State authorities In their appointment
of election officers have given effective rep
resentation to each party. Show this TO
the marshal"
At democratic meeting last night reso-
lutions were passed denouncing in strong
terms any interference in elections By mar
shals and commencing Judge Hughes sng-
gestion to the chief marshal.

DEPUTY MARsHALs, &C.-The democrats
of Richmond have made several unsuccessful
attempts to obtain from the acting United
States Marshal list of the deputy marshals
appointed by him for duty there on the day
of election. The object in obtaining this
list was to publish it aud afford the public
an opportunity of judging of the class
of men selected TO preserve the peace
and protect the ballot boxes Iestcr-
day the Hon George D. Wise addressed Il
note to acting Marshal Ballard, requesting
the names Of men appointed as deputies for
Richmond and other portions of that dis

ocrats will appeal to Judge Hughes, of the
Unitrd States District Court. for an order direct
ing the marshal or his assistant to furnish this
information. The withholding of it leads demo
Gratis to conclude that the men selected are not
such as the public will approve. The mayor will

Violating the Election Law.

New YORK, October 30.-Col. John J.
Freeman, the founder of a colored republi-
can association here, was arrested to-day
by order of the district attorney on a charge
of violating the election laws. The district
attorney claims to have received informa-
ton that colonization was being carried on
in the 9th Assembly district. Two colored
detectives were put on the case, and after q
short time they found that the work of col
onzng was being carried on by Freeman,
and hence his arrest. Freeman endeavored
to get the detectives TO register as living in
the district. Attempting to induce men to
register illegally is felony under the pres.
eut election laws.

The BLAINEITEs are doing all they can to
provoke the people Of the South to retail
ate in kind upon the negroes for acts which
the latter would never think Of doing were
they not instigated thereto BY their imam
GUS white leaders. They do this in order
that the Dauville massacre" may be repeat
ed and the Northern heart fred" against
the people whose lot has been cast in the
South. Twice in North Carolina during
the past week have democratic meetings
been stoned by the negroes, and on Sunday
last the dedication of white church In
South Carolina was interrupted by negroes,
and white man attempting to preserve
order killed by them. 1t is right hard to
submit patiently to such outrages, but the
people upon whom they are inflicted should
be induced to bear them by the fact that to
do 20 only four days longer will tend great
~ toward their entire cessation after that
time, while to retaliate would be only to
punish the poor dupes-not the real crimi-
mails, who always stand in the background
out of danger-but might, by arousing Sec
tional feeling in the North, elect Blaine,
