The schooner Charles @. Lister, Jr.,
Captain Coverdale, which left st. Angus
tine, Fla, for New York on the 10th in
stsnt was towed into port at Phila-
delphia yesterday in disabled condition.
The vessel was sighted of the Break
water on Monday, flying signals of dis
tress, and the tug Mum was sent tc her
assistance. The captain reported having
been struck by a tremendous northeast
gale on Thursday morning last,
which came very near sinking the
vessel and drowning the crew. The
heavy wind whipped the sails out of the
gzskets. and tore them into shreds, leav
ing the vessel at the mercy of the waves.
To prevent being swallowed up by the
raging seas the cres was compelled to
spend twenty four hours lashed to the
rigging, without even bread and water
Everything movable was swept from the
decks, and the waters rushed into the
cabin and pantry, flooding them and
soaking every particle of food
At noon on Friday the weather mod
Grated, and the crew was able TO snatch
few hours rest. Their only subsistence
wss hard crackers and water. On Sat
urday mornin the men we're put to
work repairing the sails, but on the fol-
lowing day another terrific gale bore
down upon them when off Cape Henlopen
Nearly all the sails we're blown away and
the leak increased. Captain Coverdale
was struck on che side of the head By
swinging boom and rendered unconscious.
Blood flowed freely for Eve hours from
his right ear, in which he is row entirely
deaf.
The vessel will discharge her cargo and
come to Wilmington for repairs. She is
owned by ex Governor j. w. Hall. Cap
tain Ccverdale resides In Philadelphia.

GEORGETOWN, Get 90 --Tke Democrats
are sanguine of carrying Sussex county
by a majority ranging from $50 to 400.
Both parties are working night and
day-ths Democrats trying TO increase
this D,sjority and the Republicans by
every means in their power, to elimi-
nate it.
The Republicans in their desperate
straits are offering every inducement to
the negroes. In some of the hundreds
they have even gone so far as to offer to
make them road overseers and allow
th cir children free access to the public
schools Of the county in the event OF q
Republican victory. But the negroes
have learned from bitter experience that
the promise of a Republican politician
made before the election and its fulfill
ment afterwards are two different things
and demand cash collateral as prima
facia evidence OF Republican good faith.
la other parts of the county they are
Offering TO trade the head of the ticket
for the Legislative and Levy Court
branches. There is no batter proof of
this than the fact that Democrat from
Delaware who is employed in the educa-
tional department at Washington was
told that ii he returned to Delaware to
vote the Democratic ticket he would have
to send In his resignation He was told,
however, that IL he would promise to
vote the Legislative and Levy Court
branches Of the Republican ticket he
might 60 home aud vote for a Democratic
governor. The Democrats, however,
refuse to trade, and propose to take all
or none.

A correspondent in the Free Pre- So
last week slops over in regard to let
ting the superintendency of the coun-
ty poor farm. Said correspondent did
not know the first principle of the
matter, or, willfully pitches into the
county commissioners superinduced by
a base desire to Intentionally do them
an injury in the eyes of the people.
Last year there were several bids, and
aside from that of Mr.. Olds, the low
est was $50 per month. This year there
were two bids for the position, viz:
Mr.. Olds for $500 year and Mr.. Will
liams for $3.50. The contract was let
to the lowest responsible bidder and
because of the fact that there is to be
a great deal of additional work done
on the farm this year, MIR. Olds thought
it was worth little more than last
year. There is nothing but justice in
this.

Repeal the Tobacco Tax.

The tobacco tax is doomed. 1t
must 60. 1t ought to 60 at once; the
sooner the better.
Congressman Brewer, of North
Carolina, has put the repeal into this
bill eleven lines long:
THAT all laws and parts Of laws
which impose any internal revenue
tax on smoking or chewing tobacco,
snuff, cigars, cheroots, or cigarettes,
or manufactured tobacco in any form.
or upon dealers and peddlers therein,
be and the same are hereby repealed
together with all laws, rules and regu-
lations restricting farmers or produc-
crs in the manufacture or disposition
of tobacco in any FORM"
This is enough. 1t ought to be re-
ported and passed without delay by
the house, and the senate ought to
waste no time in passing it.
Argument is over, the case is made
up, the necessity is clear. Both par
ties agree that the tax is not wanted
everybody agrees that the government
does not want the money it raises, and
its abolition removes three-fourths of
the surplus at blow
There is no reason why the COM
mittee on ways and means should not
report Mr.. Brower's bill when con-
gress reassembles and put it upon it's
passage. Let us see if the democrats
in the house and the democratic party
outside of it are ready to support un-
necessary taxation which presses most

tactics. As soon as one of them at

Reed decides promptly against him,
and the house stands by the speakers

majority does, which amounts to the
same thing. OF course the democrats
who expected to keep the house in a
