what tuesdays victory in Delaware Will
do for the state.
A Wilmington special in the Philadel.
phia Press this morning says: The result
IN Delaware has far more Significance than
appears on the surface. Ii means the
end OF the Saulsburys and Bavards as
prominent figures in either local or
national politics. 1t means the end of
tacit agreement over thirty wears ago
between the leaders of the two factions
who have run the politics of the state for
a generation. Ii means the political death
Of Thomas +. Bayard and his enforced re-
tlrement to private life. 1t means
that the Saulsburys will no longer dictate
to the people Of Kent and Sussex conn
ties. 1t means that the Republican
party, If it acts in harmony with itself
and the reform Democrats who helped il
TO gain the victory of Tuesday. will make
'Bayard' s pocket borough" a bit of an
Gent history. 1t means that constitu-
tional convention will sooner or later be
given the people SO that they may unlock
the door closed by John NJ CLAYTON, who
declared that when he made the pres
ent constitution that he had thrown the
key away. In fact it marks an era in

lesion there are two churches. All these
places also have colored Catholic schools.
There are two orders of colored nuns in
America. Two publications are devoted
to the interestsof Roman Catholic negroes
The st. Joseph's Advocate of Baltimore
and The American Catholic Tribune of
Cincinnati. AS to membership. there are
100000 active colOred members of the
Roman church in America. The number
who have been members and who have
dropped awsg is supposed to be many
more. The membership is growing every
day. -
There has been one disadvantage, how
ever, in the matter of negroes entering
the Roman church; this is that they have
been without representation of their own
race in the priesthood. This difficulty is
now being overcome. A full blooded
negro, the Rev. Augustus Tolton, has
been ordained priest, and others have be-
gun their studies with a view to taking
their places at the altar.
Many of the leading prelates have ex-
pressed themselves in favor Of the com
ing convention in Washington. Cardi-
nal Gibbons, Archbishop Elder and
others have sent their colored brethren
words Of cheer, and a large number of
Roman Catholic journals have also in
dorsed the proposed assembly.

Alckson has been described as an inof-
fensive person while Woodcock is dan
gerous person, one who manages to
gather in all the shelrles which it is said
are tilched from the king. Hendry, an
other introduction of jackson, is quite a
boy.
Woodcock's influence seems to have
become as great as Jackson's ever was.
The king suffers from bronchitis, and
an operation was strongly recommended
by his physicians Last winter the king
was at Florence, where he was taken
very i'll. The physicians agreed that the
operation must be performed or the
royal patient would die. Woodcock knew
that if the king died he would lose his
hold on the stream of wealth passing
into his hands; he therefore made bold
effort TO Get the kim TO submit to the
operation. he packed his trunks, init
mating that he was going to America.

WURTEMBURG'S ROW.
IT is ALL ABOUT AN AMERICAN
AND HIS TWO FRIENDS.

They Are Said to Possess Too nTpcb
Power Over the King to be mt
All Pleasing to tho People of the
Country.
The ascendancy Of Baron Won Jackson
and his friends Woodcock and Hendrv
over the old king of Wurtembure is one
of the most remarkable cases on record
of the capture of a monarch by adven-
turers. Singularly enough some forty
years ago in the neighboring kingdom Of
Bavaria similar capture was made of
its ruler, but in that case the capturer
was woman. Lola Montez became the
favorite Of the king of Bavaria; was in
stalled in a beautiful house in Munich:
made Countess of Lansfeldt, and for a
time was virtual ruler of Bavaria. She
was at last driven out by mob and the
king forced to sign an edict of Danish
ment. -.
Some ten years ago there appeared in
Stuttgart young man, Richard NJ. Jack
son, who went there from Steubenville.
o., his birthplace, for the purpose Of
studying music. His talents in a musical
way were deemed sufficient by his friends
to warrant their furnishing him with
means for his trip. The young man, be-
sides a talent for music, possessed fac
ulty for making himself liked. He be-
came the life of the Anerican colony at
Stuttgart, having a certain drollery about
him, quaint way Of saying and doing
things, which captivated every one he
met.
Not having sufficient means to carry
him through his course of study, Jack
