motive power Of passenger trains, espe-
cialiy express trains, between Berlin
and the other German and European
capitals. He thinks, however that
steam might for the present be retained
for freight and local trains.

Gentlemen Of the GenerdL Assenblu.
| received yesterday afternoon your mes
sage declaring me duly elected President of
the Delaware State. and am fully sensible
OF tEe honor done me by the appointment;
but as am too conscious of my own ability
to suppose your expectation will be answered
by my acceptance, | hope l shall be excused.
think, nevertheless, that at u time like
this, it is the duty of every member of So
ciety to take such part in the civil line as
shall be assigned him by the government, if
tOlerably qualified therefore If the General
Assembly cannot fix upon some other per-
son more equal to that important duty |
shall, though with the greatest diffidence.
accept; in full confidence, however, that
your hOnOTs will afford me every necessary
and in the due execution of the laws, and
otherwise supporting the civil government
as now established under the authority of
the people; and as the provision made for
the president is by no means an ample one;
that the General Assembly would not wish
to add to the sacrifice | have already made,
by which more than ought to fall to the
share of any one member of the community.
CAESAR RODNEY.
Dover, April 1st, 1878.
Although, l consider Caesar Rodney
the most active and conspicuous char
acter in Delaware during the Revolu-
tionary days. He died June 2G, 1884,
at his home at Poplar Grove near
Dover. He was never married. His
brother, Col Thomas Rodney was a
distinguished soldier and citizen.
Some of his descendants are still living
in Delaware. In 1889 the Rodney
Club, composed of young men in
Dover, erected monument in the
Episcopal Church yard, IN Dover, in
commemoration of Caesar Rodney, and
no man more fully deserved a tribute
of this kind.
The second governor from Kent
county was John Cook. John Dickin-
son had been elected governor to sue
ceed Rodney in 1889. After serving
less than a year, he resigned as is
shown by the following letter:
''SIR:--I have received notice. upon nv
return to this place, that since last left it.
i have been elected member of the Su-
preme Executive Council, for this State;
and as my constant attendance at that
Board will be necessary. desire you inn
