Special CORRESPONDENCE Of Gazette oad Journal.
Clayton. March IA. The appointment
of james ID. Wright, Democrat, as one
OF the constables of Kenton hundred,
has raised a strong protest from the
rank and file of the Union Republicans
as there is no Democrat in tho county
who is more despised by the Addicks
foil 3wers than Mr. Wright. Last year
Mr.. Wright was the only Democrat APP
pointed constable, this being occasional
by the Republicans not knowing that
the law provided for the appointment
of three constables for the hundred,
and only having two names to present.
Mr. Wright was chosen almost before
they knew what was going on. This
year PLANS were laid to defeat Mr..
Wright. and the fight against him was
led by W. II. Boggs, the Union Repub-
lican Levy Courtmau from Duck Creek
hundred, and on March 5th, the day
when the urt made the appointment,
Robert Pierson was named for Clayton,
with w. +. Ford and Charles A. Four
alScr for the balance of the hundred.
Picrson positively refused to bond, and
last Tuesday the tight was on again.
John Barkley, chief clerk of the Della
ware railroad, and Z. Il. Supple, assist
ant trainmaster, both Union Republi
cans, took up the fight for Mr.. Wright
the former writing a strong letter tc
the court in his interest, while tht
latter went to Dover and made an an

did not make any difference about hi
politics, what they wanted at Clayton
was man for constable whom the peo
pie had confidence in. The kind Q

for his hundred, did not suit the bust
ness interests of that section. MI

occupants were thrown out and two of
them, Robert Elliott and Charles
Spiedel, were drowned. There were
nine others, all of whom succeeded in
reaching the upturned boat. More of
the boys would have been drowned had
it not been for the heroic efforts of two
or three Of the best swimmers.
While the nine boys were clinging to
the upturned boat, in imminent danger
Of being cast adrift and drowning, Il
naptha launch appeared on the scene,
1t was on its way from Port Deposit.
Md, to Chester Tho man in charge
of the launch saw the peril of the boys
and went to their rescue, taking the
entire party aboard and landing them
safely at point whore they could
easily reach their homes. The man
with the launch was modest, however,
and refused TO give his name.
Later it was learned that the roscuer
was John L. Good of Oxford, and wher

Congressman Butler the latter brought
the matter to the attention Of Congress
with the result as stated above. The
