A wise Providence intervened to save
the people of Delaware for time, from
having one of the most villainous frauds
perpetrate upon their rights, by reducing
the Democratic majority in the Senate to
nothing, which saved that party from
passing by brute force the Five Commits
sioner Bill and the Cedar Creek Division
Bill by that body on Wednesday. Sena-
tor Williams was i'll at his home and
Senator Hall was called away by a YES
sells wreck. But Providence can only
delay this obnoxious legislation, as the
ring" has spoken itsIlultimatum and
the work will be done. The Ege'y E5eR-
ing, Democratic daily paper of Will
mington voices the sentiment of the bet
ter class of its party; and it damns the
bill. It says:
Under the dictation of caucus rule and
at.tlie crack Of the party lash, the House Of
Representatives at Dover, last evening
rushed the Five Commissioners bill through
without any attempt whatever TO give a
careful consideration to any of its important
provisions.
Bv this act the Democratic members of
the House have put themselves in very
bad and untenable position, for apparently
no other purpose than TO save Henry d.
Hickman and the uusavory crowd Of fol-
lowers who cringe at his kuees
The Democratic party Of New Castle
county cannot afford to sacrifice itself for
tile benefit of Hickman and his gang Of
servile place. hunters, against whose rule
- far
verdict They have already lost the county
to the Democracy, and il is not worth while
to sacrifice the State to their rapacious greed.
If the bill is finally passed under the exist
ing impression that it is solely IN the inter
est of Hickman and his friends, It will sim
ply be political suicide, for there is not salt
enough in the entire gang TO save the party
from the overwhelming wrath of an outraged
people.
gauntlet of the Senate, where more deliber-
alton and decent regard for the sentiments
of the people Of this county may reasonably
be looked for.
In the event Of its final passage there is
still chance to avoid a continuance Of the
corrupt Hickman rule by an appeal to Gov
ernor Reynolds, who will have to make the
appointments provided for in the bill. He
Is under no obligation to any of the gang,
when, under ordinary conditions, hand
some majority would have been given the
Democratic State and county tickets.
The Democrats Of New Castle county have
repudiated Hickmanism, aud they will do
so again, even more emphatically if it is
now forced upon them.
What hope the Es's,y EseHiNg may
have through Governor Reynolds must
be Of the drowning man catching at a
straw order; as the men who are advo-
eating the measure are the friends Of
those who stend close to the governor.

IF the following clipping has any foun-
dation in fact, the attempt now being made
to steal the county government OF Sussex
from the Republicans, by dividing two
hundreds, and having Governor Reynolds
appoint two levy courtman, will be op-
posed by honest Democrats who think
the county has enough officials TO pay
already. Last weeks .SRSSe-r C0HHfiaN,
a rampant Democratic sheet published in
Laurel, the hot-bed of Democracy, thus
laments:
Contrary to expectations there are few
enemies to honest Democracy and econ
omic government, who are fighting the
division of Cedar Creek and Little Greek
hundreds, for what reason we know not
How any honest citizen. not mentioning
the principles of Democracy can fight a
bill that will take county control out of
the hands Of INSCRIPTIONS politicians
such as run the county for the past two
years, refusing to receive taxes from tax
ables we fail to understand. To any hon
est or sensible person 1t looks as though
it is the only way to properly protect the
interests of the county.
We hope there are enough honest Dem
ocrats in the Senate to block this shame
less measure aud political crime. Ifit be
the will of the Legislature to make the
election of members of the levy court by
districts, taking the present hundred for
nation for districts or by forming new
district lines artily concur. although
itwo' .er.,,;a- -, = W court Democratic
~. .-,-as14 ee.se IS proper and right, but to
-.4idde two hundreds into four for the pur-
pose Of gaining control of the levy court
is down right stealing, and those promot-
ing such a measure are neither trustwor-
thy or honest. Two years ago, for con-
venience of the people, South Murderkill
hundred was divided into voting districts,
and that is now what should be done in
Cedar Creek and Little Creek hundreds.
But the advice oflast Monday night given

clans, will have more weight than justice
and right.
