Inc october term of the Superior
Court at Georgetown, will begin on
October 4th. The Gordy trial, at the
April term, occupied so much time.
with other criminal matters, that nearly
all the Superior Court work continued.
There are on the list for trial and ar
gument in Superior Court III cases,
besides pretty full calendar for the
general sessions. Heretofore only two
weeks have been available for the
holding of the Sussex court, because
OF the fact that the Kent terms opened
on the third Monday of April and
October, but at the last session of the
Legislature both the spring and fall
terms in Kent were made week later,
so that plenty of time be had in Sussex.
COURT. the courts of New Castle
county opened on Monday, for the
September term, which is expected to
last five weeks, and it promises to be
the largest session ever held. In the
General Session Court there are about
100 cases, and in the Court of Oyer and
Terminer five capital cases. On the
trial list of the Superior Court there
are eleven cases set for argument. The
General Sessions Court will occupy
two weeks, and it will be some time
before the capital cases are tried.
Chief Justice Charles B. Lore will
preside, and Associate Judges Grubb
and Pennewill will be on the bench
with him. This will be the first ses-
sion of the court under the new Con-
stitutiOn.
CONGRESSMAN HANDY's SLoGAN.-In
a signed statement in the Milford
Herald Congressman Handy Demo
crate) says that there are three ways
in which harmony can be restored
among the Republicans; by the Union
Republicans throwing Addicks over
board as a Jonah; by the Regular
Republicans throwing conscience over
board and allowing Addicks to seize
the party. Mr.. Handy advises the
Democrats to prepare to fight a united
Republican party. He urges the
Democrats not to spend any money for
bribery, and to prosecute the bribers.
He says the logic of events will compel
the Delaware Democrats to stand for
free silver, and declares that i'll fight
ing the gold standard the Democrats
are fighting for the prosperity of the
masses.
The EFFORT AT HARMoNY.-The
Wilmington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says: 1.-The Re.
publican conference at Dover during
the past week has given political gos.
sip a boom, and the question of har.
mOny in the party is now the chief
topic of conversation not only among
the voters. 1t is the general opinion
that the proposition made by the
Union or Addicks Republicans will
not be accepted by the Regulars, ant
it is said they have already been de
, clined by the leaders during a meet
} ing at the home of Henry G.. Morse
late Friday night.
Mr.. Morse was one of the Regula,
conferees, but owing to business ar
rangements was unable to attend tn;
harmony meeting in Dover. Mr.
Morse is said to be the first to have de
clared there could not be harmony ol
such terms, and considering how clos
/ he is to the national administration
= the rest realized that peace could no
= he had without his sanction, and the.
r took the same view of the proposition
e as Mr.. Morse. When Mr.. Morse wa
asked regarding the conference, h
: admitted that several Regular Repub
= lican leaders called on him Frida.
n night, but said their visit amounted t.
n nothing. He had just returned to VII
q mington, and they came to tell hiI
about the Dover meeting. While non
of the Regular leaders will say tha
3 the Addicks propositions have been re
t fused, the general impression aroun
le the headquarters is that the mel
le meeting at Dover will show that the
q have been rejected.
