lesson for magistrates rs it described par
ticularly what rules ought to be followed
and said 1t would be well if all could com.
ply with the admonitions in the following
verses.
He spoke particurly of the observance
of the 4th OF July and the lessons it Is
calculated to impnrt. He thought few
had returned thanks to God for the many
mcrcies they enjoy He referred to the
prolongation of tho life Of Hezekinh for 10
years and his rejoicing when tho shadow
of the sun on the dial Of Adab was set
back 10 degrees. He spoke of the udvan.
tages of our country, the plcasnntncss Of
the climate, the productions of the soil,
the excellence Of our schools, the advun.
tagcs of our churches and other blessings
we enjoy among them being better wages
greater liberty and greater prosperity than

Une triumph OF Anarchists, David alter
passing through famine of three years,
exclaimed 1t was good for me when | was
afflicted and said thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me. David communicated
his trials in song and his example was
commended to all, Singing of mercy and
Judgment showed good heart. The
plotter of crime never sings
The redeemed in heaven sing, tho mar.
tyrs sang in going to the stake He OK
horted all to sing, and he remarked that
he believed that the singing of the star
Spangled Banner had stimulated more
men to deeds Of daring than any other
song. He alluded to the effect of songs on
the defeated legions Of Napoleon, and
cited various Incidents to show the advan.
tages of singing He spoke of the threat.

From the New lori journal
A shrinkagc Of 800, 100000 in stocks in
the New York market in twelve days Is
enough to show that politics can some
times be rather expensive luxury.
:, Twenty-Five million dollars II day is s
times as much as it cost to carry on the
war. Happily we have the consolation Of
knowing that we are not really poorer
The property is all there, and Just as good
rs ever Wecall it worth 500. 900 900 less
now than 1t was twelve days ago, but If
We happen to b feeling better tomorrow
fpd call it worth $3OW,UDO 900 more We shall
be just rs rich as we were before.

election FOR delegates to these two convent

ADDICKs AS A CAMPAIGNER. -
The election for delegates to the Ad.
dicks convention of July IA will bs pare
ticipated In only by the Addicks Republic
cans, ard will, therefore, be unanimous
for his faction. But 1t is within the pow
or Of the Addicks faction to capture thd
Higgins convention by electing all tho
delegates to that body from Kent and Sus!
sex counties. The Higgins State Conn
mittee's call for this State Convention
was worded so as to exclude Addcks Re,
publlcans from voting at tho delegate
election, but the arrangements for this
election are made by tho County CommitI
toes.
In New Castle County the County
Committee Is absolutely dom mated by the
Higgins faction but in Kent and Sussex
the County Committees are controlled by
the Addicks Republicans. They can.
therefore, regulate and control tho dele.
gate elections in those two counties so as
to elect the entire 81 delegates to tho State
Convention, to which these two counties
are entitled under this old npportionment
which the Higgins State Committee has
continued.
POSSIBILITY OF A HIGGINS MINORITY. E
The Higgins faction, by carrying New
Castle county solid-although tho Addicks
Republicans might pick up u half dozen
or so of delegates there il they chose to
make ight-Woull have but rs dole
gates. They would, in this event, be in q
minority of four in their own convention
should Addicks decide to meet thom on
their own ground, and capture Kent and
Sussex Again they would be compelled
to bolt In order to prevent their State Of
ganization from being oblterated by tba
Addicks Republicans.
The Addicks County Committees, Of
Kent and Sussex, have issued calls for tho
delegate election to tho Dover convention.
IN which they repudiatc the call OF tho
Higgins Georgetown convention ThiH
reputation. however, is said to be but q
blind to cover their real intention TherU
are many who believe that they intend I'd
make the bold coup d'etat of capturing
the convention of,thc Higgins Rcpublicana
in addition to holding that of their own

cracker and to-day suffer. Houses were
damaged by fires and few men are worse
on for rows, but in spite Of all 1t was
glorious Fourth.
While there was no civic celebration
