Owing to the heavy fog on the river
yesterday the Wilmington Steamboat
Cempany's boats were forced to aban-
don their trips.
The densest fogs ever experienced on
the Delaware river and bay were those
which overhung the waters yesterday.
Only one vessel, coast wise steamer, ar
rived in port at Philadelphia during the
day, but many vessels wero known to be
at anchor below this city and in the bay.
1t was even considered dangerous to
move steamers from one berth to
another. Among the vessels held be-
low last night was the German steamer
Sophie Rlckmers, from Hamburg, laden
with many Christmas goods, which will
be the cause OF loss to some Of the con-
signees, as they will not be able to have
them for sale in proper time. The Rick
mers has been out long time, having
left Hamburg November 26. She was
detained in the harbor of Hamburg for
several days.
The schooner City Of Augusta, bound
from Boston for Philadelphia, which
broke away from the tug in the Della
ware bay on the morning Of November
~, during the terrific storm, and was
driven out to sea, has arrived at Bruins
wick, Ga, with all we'll. She had been
blown far off shore.
Many trains were late on arriving in
this city, and the Wilmington Steamboat
Company abandoned its customary

He will have the best walters pos.

indicted and tried in Philadelphia.
Partisan prejudice or personal friendship
will not permit Of an agreement OF the
iury in our State. The oath to return q
verdict according to the law and the
testimony is entirely disregarded, ana
has no binding effect whatever. When
men look at the evidence through paftl,
san glasses they are not to be depended
on, and as they have proved the truth
of this on two occasions it is likely that
they will do the same on the third;
Therefore Attorney Vandegrift had
better be directed to enter q nolle pros,
and save expenses unless more intelligent
men can be found to act as jurors.
Daily Republican. ..,
This is awful.
Here is an arraignment OF the Jury IN
the Kenney case that is unwarranted py
the facts and wholly unjustified. i.
The honor, oath and intelligence OF
twelve good men and true are all IND
pugned by this publication.
The single circumstance that all OF the
Democrats in the Kenney jury voted for
acuuittal seems to be about the only
basis for this sweeping charge.
"A man can be Democrat aud still be
honest. 80,
A man can be Democrat and still
have a decent regard for his oath.
A man can be Democrat and still be
intelligent. -,
A man can be Democrat and still be
man OF honor.
The attitude of The Sun towards Mr..
Kenney is well.known. THE Sun be-
lieves him to be quite as guilty OF crime
as Col. Ezekiel T. Cooper and Thomas >.
Clark. They are in the penitentlary at
Trenton and THE Sun thinks kenney
should be there with them. II they
were guilty of crime Kenney is; it Ken
ney is innocent so are they. Kenney,
Boggs, Cooper and Clark were all alike
concerned in the commission of the same
crime and all OF them should have the
same punishment.
This being true, however, THE Sun is
not prepared to denounce the gentlemen
who voted for Kenney's acquittal.
Just as THE Sun will believe him
guilty for all time to come SO should
those who believe him innocent hold to
their views

fined to the House Witha
Severe Cold.

Owing to a severe cold contracted DUR
ing the Kenney case United States Dis
trict Attorney Lewis c. Nandegrift is
confined to his home.
He was to have been in the Superior
Court yesterday as counsel in damage
suit, but certificate from DR.. Draper to
the Court announced that it would be
dangerous for him to come out. Mr..
Vandegrift has felt the cold coming on
for several days. When he closed his
argument in the kennev case in the
Federal Court last Friday he was in
perspiration and then cooled off too
rapidly. Instead of getting thoroughly
rested after the trial he went to work
preparing cases for the county court. In
the course OF yesterday the cold had
made such progress that he could hardly
speak above whisper, and went to see
his physician, Or. Draper. The doctor
ordered him to go home and remain
there. Mr.. Vandegriit obeyed the doc
tors orders this morning, although
strongly desirous of returning to his
work
The announcement of Mr.. Vandegrift's
illness was made in the county court yes
terday morning by Chief Justice Lore
when the case of David W. Eliason VS..
the Liebig Manufacturing Company was
called. John Biggs, representing the
plaintiff, desired to 60 to trial, but on
account of the ndisposition of Mr.. Van
degrift. who represents the defendant,
the court continued the case until the
February term. The argument on de-
murrer in the case of Hiram NJ Thomas
VS.. Grand Trunk Railway Company,
was also continued by reason of Mr..
Vandegrift's illness.
Other business in county court was

ment; case of George c. Brown vs..
