Colonel Enoch Moore finished his
term as postmaster of this city last
night. The genial colonel has made a
most excellent record as our chief Fed
eral official. The position Of postmas
ter is one difficult to fill successfully
and satisfactorily. Many think its tasks
are light. AS a matter Of fact, there
are so many details relating to this Of
fee that a man of tact is required for
its successful filling.-Sunday Herald.
The writer has not the physical
strength TO discuss the question, nor
the inclination. Though a native of
Kent county and a resident for years of
Sussex county, and holding their people
in high esteem, he cannot understand
why 5000 voters should demand to die
tate party platforms and state nomina-
tfons to 10000 voters in whom rests
all party majorities. The Transcript
is open to a discussion OF the ques-
tion. Now is the time for the rank and

The Unions have twice previously

recently made by Congress is now
available and the work will be begun
in a very short time. When it is COM
pleted Wilmington will have a high
road for commerce that will give 1t the
greatest prosperity in its history

Harmony" coming together" "one
party" such have been the pleasant

Senator Wellington says lit is doubt
ful If accept the chairmanship now" :"
He evidently has a crow TO pick with
his comTade-Senator McComas-over
his recent defeat, and says: 1T is con-

Representation according to popula-
tion is very fine as a matter of princi-
pie, but is regarded as the very Oppo-
site in practice. 1t has never been
countenanced in Democratic state con-
ventiOns, and never will be, county

Republicans Of both factions now look
with disfavor upon the scheme, and

After a month or two of labor the
Republican faction made another at
tempt to hamOnize at Wilmington on
Wednesday last. 1t was a failure. OF
course it was. As long as J. Edward
Addicks remains a factor of one fac
tion, the respectable portion of the
Republican party of Delaware cannot
recognize that faction. AS long as the
least regard for decent politics abides
with the Regular Republican faction
that faction cannot recognize J. Ed
ward Addicks.-Milford Herald.
