The Police Commissioners, at their
regular meeting Thursday, decided to
issue police cards to reporters of this
city similar to those used by the local
members of the press in Philadelphia.
The cards will each be signed by the
mayor, giving the holder Of the same
all the privileges and courtesies of the
police department in time of fires, cas-
ualties or crimes. 1t is claimed that on
several occasions of this kind thieves
have succeeded in entering houses,
masquerading as reporters, for the pur-
pose of carrying away plumber. The
cards will be issued to prevent this.

Following, from Saturdays D,iqmdrcdn,
may be accepted rs authoritative; "The
.M9wiDg NsTS Of Wilmington on Thursday
discusses at length the decision of the
chancellor i'll the Levy Court collectors
uiudue case, and hy innuendu tries to
convey q false impression as to the senti-
ment Of the court on this question. Now
the facts of the case are few and there is
no use of any lengthy discussion or state
ment Of the case bv us or by any one else.
The facts are as follows The collectors of
county taxes for Wilmington hundred
in March last returned as errors many
citizens who had been previously as
sesscd The Levy Court accepted these
lists as correct and struck from the tax
lists the names of those returned as delin-
quents last March. In June the court, or
certain members, conceived the idea that
it would he good thing to place part Of
| the names back on the assessment list.
| This they proceeded to do. one of the
| sirCtirs Of one Of the collectors objected
| and through counsel asked the court of
| chancery to restrain the Levy Court from
| placing the men on the list. because it
| might prejudice the case and cause him
to pay money as the surety The chan.
cellOr heard the case and made a
clear, short, sensible and comprehensive
decision Of the case, in which he re-
/ strained the Levy Court from adding the
names 10 the list on the ground that il
might prejudice the surety who asked fol
the Injunction pending the triul of the cast
in another court. This is what the chan
celor did aud nothing more. lie did MOI
enter into the question of what the Levy
Court or collectors did, but simply dircctet
that the Levy Court should obey the Law
and preserve the lists as made by collector,
and the Levy Court just ms they were il
order that the court could have the prope
evidence in the case at the proper time
The chancellor did not decide as to wha
the court could or could not do, but simpl,
made it possible for the record to remaii
intact should there be another trial of tn
case by the courts"

days afterwards his hat, clothes and

to pay it, claiming that Wheldon was
not dead Suit was brought to recover
the money, and the case is still pending
in the Alabama courts. before leaving

Arriving at the store, he procured
the flour and bacon, and started
home; and on the way, he came up
to about a dozen men, and they
asked him, "What is your politics?"
He answered, "a free soiler." At
this answer they fell upon him and
gave him a good thrashing, put the
flour on his shoulder and the bacon
under his arm, and started him on
his way. The free soiler started on
his way and came up to another
crowd of men, and they asked him
the same question-"What is your
politics." Wanting to be home with
his life, flour and bacon, he answer
ed, "Pro-slavery man." They fell
upon him and gave him a good
thrashing, and took his -four and
bacon from nina sauder but wiser
man, for a lip service relationship to
his political principles. Reader, if
you are Demo-Republican, stay in
their ranks until you are satisfied
with yourself that you are in favor
of the Peoples party, then have the
courage to stand up to your convic-
tions, and join the Peoples party,
and said party will receive you
gladly. But, by all means, do not
make political traitor of yourself,

not a question of how many will

BEFORE the government converted
it's currency into bonds, man
could go in debt for a farm and pay
for it from it's productions. Now a

it used to take to pay for one from
it's profits.

is concerned. 1t gives occupation
to fewer men than any other bust
