The Br,b.r i. Worse Than til. Br,oed.

There is trite old saying that 1.-THE
receiver is as bad as the thief" No
doubt this is true, as applied to the
receiver of stolen goods. And cannot
it be said with equal truth, in view Of
recent exciting developments in Della
ware history, that 1.-THE briber is as
bad as the bribed?"
Since tho apostasy of Senator Farlow
and Representatives Clark and King,
who, although elected to the Legisla-
ture as Democrats voted to make j.
Edward Addicks, the bitterest foe Of
Democracy, Senator from Delaware,
these three men have been the objects
of the deepest obiurgations. They have
been scored as traitors. They have
been openly denounced as takers of
brides for their votes. And they have
been threatened with expulsion from
all councils Of the Democratic party.
If these men are guilty Of having ac-
copied brides, they are deserving of
every bit of this contumely and de-
nunciation; in such event they are unfit
for the companionship of decent men.
But, IL they were bribed, are not the
influences that tempted them equally
detestable, and the men who offered
them price for their votes equally
deserving of public condemnation? OF
surety they are, and more so. For
their course was even more degrading
and degraded than that of their miser-
able dupes.
The depravity OF the briber is of the
lowest depth; his methods are most
despicable. Take the case of Repre-,
sentative Lattomus of the Fourteenth
district of New Castle county, an
honest man, and one who spurned with
contempt the crawling creatures who
sought to offer him pecuniary induce
ments for his vote. For, from what
Mr.. Lattomus says, there is every
reason to believe that he was approached
in this manner. II is no secret that
Mr.. Lattomus is what is generally
designated poor man; that he has to
be industrious and frugal in order to
meet his obligations But for this
reason, the corrupt schemers considered
him their legitimate game, and sought
to make his financial necessities the
means of securing his vote for their
base purposes. All honor to MIR. Latto-
mus, that when thcy approached him
with their debasing propositions, he
speedily informed them that they were
mistaken in their man.
These bribers, however, are as de-
serving of punishment as their victims,
and more SO. For them the finger OF
scorn should ever be raised, and the
whip of justice sent whistling through
the air. They should be Stunned by
decent men; they should be ostracised
by good society, even more con.
temptuously than their dupes will
surely be.
The State is now making an investi-
cation into the matter, with a view to
ascertaining who were bribed, if any,
and who did the bribing. If the truth
can be ascertained, stern punishment
should be visited upon briber and
bribed alike.
