A GLORIOUS SUNDAY

After a long period Of unpleasant
weather. we have been given one per-
feet day. Had it been left TO Council

sion. a day more nearly perfect could
not have been created than Sunday last.
It was, in a secular sense. the true
Easter OF the year. The people OF WIZ
mington with one impulse closed their
homes and went forth in quest of lit
tie fresh air and sunshine And they
got both in the profusion known only
to. nature. Every field and open lot
within the city, and for miles in the
outskirts, was dotted with our inhabi-
tants and no disappointment awaited
them. There were fields Of vivid green
so sprinkled with dandelion blossoms
that they looked like gorgeous robes
with yellow polkadots. Every moist
hillside was rajoicing in a wealth OF
vlolets, that were disappearing before
the eager advance Of a brigade Of little
bolks.
And the trees. too, were adding to the
glory. Every old gnarled apple tire,
that had done its best to convey tn,
impression during the winter that
was dead. had burst forth with a wealtl
Of white and pink blossoms. as thougl
declaring that it had some years o
life left; and the cherry and the pea
trees had thrown out their white ban

proper velocity-just sufficient TO cate

Two DELEGATIONS.

From the Dover Delawarean.
The delegation of Tuesday was
made up of Union Republicans. Il was
composed principally Of politicians, Of
hceholders eN-onice-holders, and
would -be- office holders who for sup
posed personal or partisan advantage
were willing to appear in favor of a
law which tends to corrupt the fran
chise and TO debase manhood. Their
so called arguments We're weak in the
extreme.
The delegation of Thursday was
composed of ministers of the Gospel
Not one of them, probably, had the
slightest hope of personal gain as re-
suit Of the Governors action. except In
the broad sense that any law against
lpublic morality is disadvantage t'
good men. They were here in the in.
terest of public morality and good citi
zenship. They urged the Governor e
sign the repeater and gave good rea
sons why he should.
