The Democrats have won glorious
victory, though its brllianoy is some
what dimmed by the splotch Of Higgins
Baohism here
The air Is reeking with the stencil Of
fraud, but still the Democrats have
every reason to be proud Of what they
have done, It was never contemplated
that they would have QuaYism and
Mahoneism com bined TO fight here ia
Delaware; hence they were not prepared
for them They are prepared to meet
them now, however and to throttle them
Those votes Ia the Seventh, Fifth and
Ninth wards we're vlciously and fright
fully fraudulent. They should undergo
the strlctest scrutiny.
The Republicans cannot be trusted
where the negro woe is present Its
presence alone, cast in solid mass with
one political party, is an evidence Of
fraud. The Democrats have learned by
experience to expect fraud where IRE
sponsible white carpet bAggers and the
negroes were associated. We have that
association here.
What interest could Fred Bach have in
the negro2 What loyalty do the negroes
owe to him?
be has controlled their political prvl-
leges their suffrages and held their tax
receipts for ten months. For what good
to them2 The suggestion even Of good is
preposterous
The events Of Tuesdays election show
that the negros were debauched. There
was scarcely gn honest vote in hundred.
There were twenty one negroes voted
from single house on Nav street.
The spectacle Of the local frauds by the
combination Of the carpet bagger and of
the negro, has appeared In Delaware with
the worst possible results. The bitter
ex psriences which the people OF the
South endured from this combination OF
political chicanery and Ignorance should
be remembered It is a curse to the ballot
and menance TO liberty.
The methods Of Reeds House in deal
ing with Congressman who did not have
enough negro votes should be applied
here, where we know there are from 900
to 1900 too many negro votes One
Democrat was turned out Of Congress
without evidence, without debate and in
less than ten minutes time. Have the
Democrats not learned how to deal with
Bschism, with Higglnsism, with Mohone-
ism in Delaware from Reeds HouseY
Without doing injustice TO anybody
there should be prompt action and fair
count.

recognized as one, for which all patriotic
citizens should rejoice.
A protest was made against the gross

Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
NEw CASTLE, Nov. 6.-Henry Douden,
a young colored man, was arrested by
Officer Hanson yesterday afternoon for
assault and battery upon Mary Bland
Miles, colored woman living on Vine
street above Harmony. The trouble
began by Mrs Miles using abusive Ian
guage toward Douden's grandmother,
whose house she lives in. Douden re-
sented, ard quarrel arose between the
man and woman. The former finally left,
but returned later in the day under the
influence of liquor. he burst open the
door of the house and attacked
the woman, but was repulsed with
q fiat iron. The fight was resumed In the
street and lasted for nearly five minutes.
The woman is much larger than Douden
ana very strong, and the rapidity with
which she returned the stunning blows
of her antagonist was remarkable. A
large crowd of people gathered about the
struggling colored people, but all efforts
to part them proved futile. Finally, with
the blood streaming from both of
them, the woman sank to the ground
completely exhausted and weeping bit
terly, Douden was then arrested.
Dowden was given hearing before
Mayor Hanson and fined $50 and costs,
which will probably keep him in jail for
sixty days. Ee always bore the reputa-
tion of peaceable young man, and has
acted as chief cook for Company 81, N.

Philadelphia Ledger.
Nearly all the unssated Democrats,
whose enforced retirement gave the Re
publieans a majority in the United States
House OF Representatives of 26, have
been re elected to the Fifty second Con-
gress, and with many new recruits will
give the Democrats very large
majority-the exact figures being yet un-
determined II will be so large. however,
that there will be no need to turn Re-
publicans out to make it safe. The
Senate, however, remains strongly Re-
publican and 30 hedged about that it
would take political revolution TO turn
II over TO the Democrats In less than six
years. The probabilities are, therefore,
that neither party will be In full control
of the Government for that or longer
period, and this on general principles,
may be considered good thing for the
country, as 1t will put q stop TO merely
partisan legislation. such as the present
Congress has enacted and propose
to eract at the next session
