Truth

Some guiless soul up in Hampton, has
sent communication to the Union, which
is signed Truth" He objects to Super
visor-elect Norton being classed with the
democrats, but by his own confession it is
easily discerned that the democrats are
more responsible for his election than the
republicans As Truth" says he was
defeated on the republican ticket for JUS
tice of the peace, while his democratic
opponent was elected. Several republis
cans were elected on the ticket, and if Mr.
Norton had been supported by the repub-
licans he would not have been defeated
for justice 1t is therefore very evident
that Mr.. Norton got more votes for SUI
pervisor from the democrats than from
the republicans and after he was nomin-
ated by the democrats some of the repub.
Iicans held secret caucus with the inten-
ton of nominating some other man, but
they could not decide upon any one.
Mr.. Norton's eyesight is not so bad but
that he can plainly see who are his best
friends.

The town clerk of Edgington has not
yet decided who shall be Supervisor from
his town this year, and the dead lock still
continues. We are sorry to say that the
democrats of Edgington are responsible
for this state of affairs, tor had they per>
formed their duty on election day, NJ.
Schoonmaker would have got there" by
a large majority. AS it was he ran like q
cyclone with its hair cut as there were
142 republican tickets cast and only AZ
democratic, and yet he tied his opponent
had this ratio been reversed it looks to us
as though Schoonmaker would have
scooped 10 all the votes Thus it is that
we complain of the democrats of Edging-
ton, who stayed away from the polls.

Falsa Alarm.

Some fellow with more time on his
hands than he knew what to do with,
commenced ringing the Phoenix hose bell
about $50 this afternoon. The alarm
was taken up by the Holly and Wide>
Awake companies, but the water work,
whistle did not sound. A large crowd
rushed to the lower end Of town, but not
even spark of fire was seen. 1t was a
decidedly false alarm.

Check.

With cheek past all understanding, Old
Joe comes:out in his six days rehash and
claims the election of John Barge, ma
tional, for assessor, and James f. Larkin
national, constable. This is surely gall,
pure and undefiled. Mr. Barge was nom
mated at the democratic convention, and
run on the democratic ticket while the
republicans nominated W. S. Parsons,
who was endorsed by the nationals. Not
long since Mr.. Larkln ran for alderman in
the Fifth ward on the democratic ticket,
and was nominated for constable by them
at the late election. 1t is quite amusing
to see the old man trying to draw recruits
into his demoralized concern.

A Horse Trade,

o. j. Dimick and Deputy Sheriff Silvis
swappei horses this morning, each think,
ing he had the best of the bargain. The
animal Dimick traded was won on an
election bet last fall, but there was too
much republicanism to suit his owner.
Silvis hitched up his new stopper this af-
ternoon, and expressed himself well
pleased with his gait, and the general APP
pearance of the animal, but noticed that
he became rather unsteady when in the
lower part of the city. He thinks Dimick
has trained the horse to shun the bone
factory.

light procession was in progress over the
river last night by the luridness of the
sky, but it was only the burning of barn
upon the hill. A horse went with the
barn, and neither could have been very
valuable, as the loss was only $50.

SOME FINE HIRNEsS.
Trapping i'm Keeping with the Aims
house Carriage.

TraI ictions of certain members of the
Board OF Trustees of the Poor, now and
then come to light which suggest the in
quiry was not the inquiry of the levy
court into the charges of extrayagances in
the management of the almshouse in
vain? At the October meeting of the
board bill amounting to $210 was sent
in by ex-Trustee Harry Hickman, MEM
Der of the levy court. The bill amounted
to $210, and was contracted for harness.
Among the items was set of harness,
for which $45 was charged, besides vari-
Gus straps, buckets, repairs, &C., in end
less number. The bill was handed the
finance committee to audit, but the men,
bers declined TO touch it, holding that it
was extortionate and the outlay unwar-
ranted. It being laid over it would prob
ably have been considered at last meeting
but when inquiry was made concerning it
the board was surprised to ascertain that
Messrs. Solomon and Mooney had given
q cash order for its payment.
As an excuse for the payment they
stated that Mr.. Hickman was very mad
when he heard his bill had been thrown
out, and they did not know of any other
way to appease his anger. The former
members of the board think that $45 is q
trifle too much to pay for set of harness,
when they can get new and durable
harness for $15 or 800 per set. The other
items of the bill are also objected to. The
expensive harness, however, it can be
claimed is only in keeping with the $3.50
carriage recently purchased by Mr..
Solomon.

A WOMAN,s SUDDEN DEATH.
Foul Play suspected-A Post Mc-ten
to be Held.


Harriet Hall, q colored woman about 28
years old who has been living with man
named Wesley Fountain about half mile
from Newport, died suddenly Friday
morning.
Fountain and his paramour were in this
city Thursday on spree and left town
near midnight. Whilethey were walking
home from the railroad station at New
port, says Fountain, the woman com.
planned of feeling tired and unwell and
sat down to rest herself while he con-
tinued on to his house to kindle fire.
After the fire had been made he waited some
time and the woman not having returned,
he went in senrch of her and found her
almost nude and nearly dead in pond
near the place where he had left her.
Picking her up he carried her home and
then went after some neighbors, but
while he was absent the woman died.
Deputy Coroner Palmertsaw the remains
Friday. He found some blood spots
and few scratches upon the body, but
nothing which he thought indicated foul
play. Fountains clothing was also blood
stained, but the blood may have gotten
thereon while he was carrying the woman
to his home.
People living in the neighborhood sus-
pect that Fountain beat the woman, and
that he caused her death. To satisfy
their suspicious the post mortem will be
held.
DIR. Springer, on Saturday, made an
investigation and gave certificate of
death from exposure and intoxication.
The remains were buried in the Potter's
field

Denver Opinion, Dec G,
Putting aside the question of politics,i it
seems TO the ordinary man of business that
this is just the way the affairs
of a state should be conducted; /;
that no citizen should be per-
mitted to enjoy exclusive privileges with
out paying for them, and that the man
who thus in letter and spirit subscribes to
the law should exercise the controlling in
fiuence in the affairs of the state which he
helps to support. This, in substance, is
the enactment to which the North Anleri-
can Reoieso has taken such vigorous excep-
tions, and il strikes us from the perusal of
the article that it has grappled q subject
of which it knows nothing. The Repub-
licans of Delaware are not disfranchised.
They have simply to become assessed pay
| their taxes and vote. If the law is weak
the remedy is in their own hands. But
the law is not weak. We're the Republi.
cans to get in power, instead of repeating
the law against which they inveigh, they
would take every precaution TO apply it
ard in their zeal would levy tribute upor
every negro in the three counties. Tht
fact that it works as well one way as th,
other is, to the bipartisan mind, suffi
cient proof of the disinterestednes o
Mr.. Rayard in securing its passage. S,
long as ii is in force Delaware will con
tinue out of debt and her bonds comman,
