| Wednesday session of the New Castle
county Levy Court, County Treasurer
Carswell submitted statement, show
ing that SlO7 ,383.85 are due in County
Taxes for the year 1889 and 1890.
Thus far but $94, ,47712 have been
turned in by the collectors. The total
levy of taxes for these years was S2O2.-
O20.9S. Should the balance of taxes
be collected, the counties floating debt
of $lOl.93O would be effaced, but such
an outcome is not probable.
Treasurer Carswell also reported to
the Levy Court that the COunty's
floating debt is SlO1 $50. Of this
amount $4,000 is held by banks in
promissOry notes, upwards of $50 900
of which are void, because the notes
were not issued in conformity with the
law.

SECRETARY BACH Is DENYING -
Private Secretary Bach is denying the
statement made in EUery Evening ;
day or two ago, that he tried to bribt
Anthony ReybOld into quitting tn,
cOllectorship contest by Offering to Sc
cure a Federal Office for his son. Th
: facts in the EUery EUeRing statemen
are clearly proven that Mr.. acl
4 said that he was authorized by Senate
n Higgins to pledge Federal positions il
!, order to gain the men he wanted 70
collectors. Senator Higgins evidentl
had his heart set upon securing bot
?. cOllectOrships aud was willing to us
/. the Federal Government patronage t
aid his cause, but he was beaten b
the people, and secured one only {
the two collectors. The fact of Sens
:, tor Higgins trying to dictate in sue
y matters-purely lOcal-has brOugh
much criticism of a not very cOmpl
mentary nature. The spectacle of
II United States Senator sending his pei
!, sOnal fac!Otum to dictate the selectiO
II of tax collectors, is one that has nevt
- before been presented in DelawaI
politics. - EBery EUening.
