DEcEIvING OR DECEIVED

"The most feeble effort of the affida-
Wits is the attempt to show that Gov
ernor Watson's occupancy Of the chair
in the Senate, prior to going into joint
session, was SO brief as to give the Re-
publican Senator's no opportunity to
protest at the time. Senator Alrichs
makes affidavit to this effect, but his
affidavit is most completely c0ntro-
verted by the affidavits of ex-Congress.
man Pennington and Senate Clerk
Hastings, and by the latter's Journal.
They show that while Governor Wat
son was in the Speakers chair. ,Sena-
tor Alrichs arose at his desk, and ad-
dressing him as "Mr. Speaker" re-
ported bill from the judiciary COM
mittee, which bill was subsequently
passed, Governor Watson answering
to the name of "Mr. Speaker" and
voting on the roll call. 1t cannot be
doubted. therefore, that Senator Al
richs is mistaken. although sincerely
so.''-"Every Evening"
The above appeared on Friday, Jan.
oath. The next day the TRANSCRIPT
called attention to the fact that the
Senate Journal does not show that
Governor Watson was lr,sent in tn
Senate on May 9th or that he voted.
In fact it shows that he did not VOTE
Is the "Every Evening" mistaken
then? If so it has had full week to
make the correction and it has not
done so.-Why notp Will the EVERY
Evening" tellp If it was deceived,
mistaken, as an honest paper it should
correct the error and do it now, not
after the question is decided in the
Senate.
But does the 'tEvery Evening" say
that the Journal shows that Governor
Watson voted2 Certainly. Read it
again; we thought that way whsn we
first read it, but looking at the con-
struction of the sentences we are in
doubt, and do not know whether the
s'Every Evening" was deceived or is
deceiving. 1t evidently created the
impression that the journal of the
clerk shows that Mr.. Watson voted.
1t does not. If the s'Every Evening"
corrects it's mistake it was deceived.
Ifit refuses to correct the mistake it
is deceiying and merits the condemna-
tion Of all honest people. Which is it,
deceived or deceivingP
One more query. If Governor Wat
son voted "on one or two" questions,
what were they2 The journals against
his testimony and knowing that he
should be able to tell the bills on which |
he voted, if lie recollects the facts SO

EVERY EVENINGS DUMMIES.
The Every Evening" attempted in
an article headed, Democrats are not
responsible" to answer our point
made last week that the Democratic
assessors in Wilmington must be
parties to the Addicks- Dummy busi-
ness, and then answered our conclusion
''if there are 'dummies' they are
created by the Democrats" with "not
necessarily" 1t then said there
are two Democratic assessors and one
Republican in Wilmington, and claims
that the "bulk of the work of Brinkley
and his dummies for the Addicks
Bureau was performed" in the Repub-
lican district. We do not know this,
but if it is true the every Evening"
admits that part, not "ths bulk" of
the dummy" list comes from Dem
ocratic assessors. Then why are not
the Democrats responsible? The
TRAsCRIPT does not justify it, not
even with democratic connivance"
but if any one is to be hurt in the
matter it should be, the friends of
every Evening" which has given Mr..
Addicks such loyal support and SO
much sympathy.
But Of What use are ese''dummies?
The election districts are divided and
sub-diyided SO that three hundred
voters is the average at each poll.
Then comes the registration and the
registration officers are DemocI ats
They, or the party workers, know
every man Of the three hundred voters.
Then who is going to inpersonate the
dummy How can it be done? Where
is there any proof that there is any
fraud intended by the Republicans, as
the "Every Evening" so Justify laims,
or that if intended ii can be carried outp
With the registration in the hands of
Democrats how can it be donep Is the
"Every Evening" afraid of Watson's
appointees, that they will sell out to
its friend Addicksp We do not believe |
that dummies" can lie used, if indeed |
there are such things. The whole |
affair comes out of a list of expenses
brought in Justices cour. by a !
colored man against Addicks or his |

may be convenient term for increas-

MORE TRUTH ABOUT TAXES.

AS we supposed the answer of the
Inder to our charges of fraud upon the
part Of its party friends upon the bal
lot, consists in abuse. 1t calls it

fourteen men of the right of franchise,
and to deprive the county of their

points we made against the Inde1 and

received the telegram, sent evidently
to keep him out of having hand in

TRANSCRIPT was mistaken upon these
two minor points, but how trifiing
they are when compared with the
greater wrong which the Inder acknow-
lodges by saying the men who Were
seeking to pay their taxes. having paid
their expenses to Philadelphia, "offered
their money which was refused" }" and it
is not denied that Mr.. Powell kicked the
money out of the room into the hall,
proving that he was able to see the
men, as his physician sad, and to re-
ceiye their taxes. If Mr.. Powell had
lived In some parts of this country the
