FUJST EDITION
the Gazette.
F<
Mr. Editor: —Samuel Townsend's
article in defence of Judge Geo. I*.
Fisher, had it been only a defence of
that man, I never should have found
a single objection. He finds fault
with the course pursued by the Demo
cratic papers taking part along with
the Commercial and Eveiy Evening.
Why in his defence of Mr. Fisher,
should he arrign the Democratic party
of 1860V He says: "when the late war
broke out, the whole Hreckenridge
element, with Buchanan at its head
said, let the Union slide.
Breckcnbridge Democrat,! pronounce
the above quotation false, it is a term
never made use of by either Mr. Bu
chanan or any portion of tha Breckcn
ridge Democracy. The term "Let
the Union slide," was the word of
General N. I*. Banks, at that time he
no doubt was a dear friend of Mr.
Townsend's, for about this time some
of Mr, Townsend's friends were made
government oflicials by a Hcpublican
Administration, lie must have forgot
ten in which parties' harness he was
working at the time the term "let the
Union slide," became so familiar to
his ear. It was a term much used by
Mr. Townsend's particular frieud Mr.
Greeley. Mr, Townsend says: "I
know some blame G. P* Fisher for
the hanging of Mrs. Buratt, the old
she devil who kept a rendevouz for as
sassins." Why so ruthlessly attack n
poor dead woman, and especially one
who was murdered by a gang of those
perjured villains which 5ir. Townsend
so beautifully illustrates in his own
beautiful language; I cannot do them
justice, so give Air. T.'s definition,
"what they call dctectivca which a»c
the lowest brutes or devils of the hu
man family." There never
evidence brought against Mrs. Buratt
except such us was hunted up, and
much of it munufuctured out of the
whole cloth by this same class of de~
tecllves which Mr. Townsend so beau
tifully pictures. I do consider the mur
der of Mrs. Buratt one of the foulest
stains that bas ever been attached to a
great government.

Mr. Editor: The charades and Ta.
bleaux at Alexander's Hall were a de
cided success. The Middletown string
band added to the entertainment.-
"The Dutchman's Ghos-t," "Little
Daisy," aud "Dramatic" were the best
oharailc9. Mr, Everett Von C'ullin,
who was manager of the affair, is tbe
best amateur comedian that we have
ever seen perform; and Miss Miranda
Davidson played her parts well. Little
Miss Laura Bigger, a child only ten
years of age played "Daisy" in a man
ner truly wonderful for one of her
age.
The statuary, and Goddess of Liber
ty were rich and handsome. We are
ready to go to tho next entertainment,
which we hope will not be far off.

J udjtt Fi«li«r and Dr. Nolen
PUSHING THE JUDGE TO THE WALL—THE
2IAIi" IN THE HOLE OP PROSE.
' (jOMM
OUTING ATTORNEY.
the Com mere ill of June '.Qth,
Mr. Kdmund Griffith, a well known
citizen, was one of those who became
bail for Dr. W. D. Nolen, recently Col
lector of Customs, when he was arrested
*oks ago, upon the cliarg j of em
bezzling Ü. 8. funds. Mr. Griffith,
conversation with several persons, lias
since stated some interesting tacts in re
lation to the matter. He expresses his
belief that Dr. Noleu will not be tried
on the charge, or, if he be tried, nothing
will come of it. The reason for this be
lief, he states, is that he (Griffith) has
knowledge that Dr. Nolen was advised
directed to withhold the money, (over
*5000 in gold, received for custom duties
on a wrecked ship, in the fall of 1872,)
hy parties then higher in position and
influence than himself, one'of them being
Mr. Geo, P. Fisher, and that Nolen now
has Fisher's letter or letters, to that ef
fect, which if the case came to trial he
would be obliged to produce as his own
defence.
Mr. G ri Hi th, instating these facts,
gave the impression that the money
was retained and used for political
purposes, on behalf Mr. Fisher and
ins friends, and it is also reported that
at the time of his removal from office,
l)r. Nolen remarked that he did not
keep the money himself, but sent it
"down the State." It will be remem
bered that in the campaign of 1872,
when Mr. Lolland, Judge Fisher's pro
tege and supporter was the candidate
lor Congress. Fisher came to Dela
ware aud took an active part, in the
canvass, especially, as it was under
stood, helping to provide "the sinews
of war." It is true that the Govern''
ment money did not come into Dr.
Nolen's hands till a short time after
the election, but it is suggested that it
was known before the election—the
wreck having occurred in October—
that it was coming, and that it might
readily have been used, when receiv
ed to pay bills contracted, replace
advances that had been made, or meet
election promises.
Mr. Lolland states that he himself
advited Dr. Nolen not to pay over the
money to the Government, when he
received it, as there was a claim of the
wreckers for part of it for salvage pend
ing; and bethought the Doctor should
wait till the claim was decided.
It can, of course, be readily seen that
if the statements by Mr. Grillith arc
correct, Mr. Fisher may well desire to
be placed in charge of the case against
Dr. Nolen, and that the latter may
very reasonably hold on with a careful
clutch to Fisher's extraordinary let«
ters.

THE FOURTH.
TIK
TO BE GENERALLY CELEHRATED
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
On Tuesday next the people of this
Cvmntry will celebrate the great day on
which, one hundred years ago, the ring
ing peals of the Philadelphia «täte
House bell announced the passage of that
immortal instrument which proclaimed
" liberty throughout the land, unto all
the inhabitants thereof. "
In this city the day will be observed
more generally and extensively than for
years. The municipal ceremonies will
promise the principal feature of the
Oration, and will be generally partiei
people. The programme
of arrangements is published in
vertising columns.
During the night of the third bells will
be rung, salutes will be fired, and house î
generally illuminated. During the
fourth flags will be displayed all over the
city, and the salutes and illuminations
will be continued during the evening.
The display of fireworks, at night, by the
City Council celebration committee, will
be grand and imposing, und far in excess
of anything of the kind ever attempted
in this city.
During the day patriotic services will
be held in various churches, and a num
ber of pic-nics and excursions will be
made.
Down the Stale celebrations will also
be held, in nearly every town of import
ance. At euch place salutes will be tired,
the Declaration read, and patriotic
speeches delivered. In fact, so far afe
expressions of patriotism are concerned,
Delaware will not be behind the other
States on Tuesday next.

Market street, over Christiana bridge,
carrying a half-oushel basket filled with
soap, in a very suspicious manner. The
officer stepped the man and was about to
arrest him, when Legg dropped the bas
ket, drow a knife, and made a savage as
sault on officer Donovan. The latter,
unfortunately, was unarmed, and it
would have gone hard with him but for
the timely arrival of officer Chas. Brickie,
who drew his pistol and shot Legg in the
right forearm, just as he was about to
plunge the knife into officer Donavan s
body. The ball passed entirely through
the arm, missing the bones, and caused
the knife to spin from the ruffians grasp.
I .egg was arrested and taken to the City
Hall cells, where his wound, which is
not serious, was dressed. He will have
a hearing to-night. The soap is at the
police station, awaiting the cla iin ©f the
owner.

MNKW CASTLE LETTER.
ALARM OK FIRE—PERSONAL—THE OlTY
ORDINANCES.
Ktg ular Correspondent of'thelGazette. X&
New Castle, July 1 , 1876 .*
An alarm of fire was [given 1 yester
lay about five o'clock. Tom Earley's
blacksmith shop having caught from
i spark; damage about two cents. Our
very efficient tire company promptly
•esponded, a force of two men having
charge of the hose carriage, and but
for the assistance of a number of boys
would not have been able to get to the
Ire.Our lire company will ma kc quite
i show at the Centennial parade if
hey turn out then ns strongly as they
lo at the fires which occur here.
Our townsman Mr. David Klkinton,
has returned from Cape May for a day
ir two. Air. Elkinton will go back
with a number of teams intending to
start a livery stable there in conjunc
tion with Air. Fox, also of this city.—
IVc wish them success.
We hope that the gutter ordinance
will bo soon printed and posted. The
attention of the Alayor is called to a
number of persons throwing rubbish,
&c., in the streets.
The Street Committee should look
at the culvert on Harmony street, be
tween Vine and Union streets. It is
decidedly too small and heavy, and
even moderate rains an overflow into
the adjoining houses is a natural con
sequence.
When will the Railroad Company
plank Ninth aüd Young streets? This
should have been done a month ago.
The American Rifles —On Mon
day afternoon, at 2 o'clock, the Amer
ican Rifles will assemble in front of
their armory, at Tenth and Shipley
streets, for a publie inspection, alter
which they will make a street parade.
At 6:40 o'clock Tuesday morning they
will leaye for Philadelphia, where,
with the Centennial Legion, they will
participate in the grand celebration.—
They will be accompanied by the Bt.
Michael's cornet band, of Chester, and
will return to \Y ilmington the
evening.
The Commercial Backing Down.—
It is said that the Commeveial is
backing down from the statements
made in yesterday's issue in regard to
Dr. Nolen and Judge Fisher (publish
ed elsewhere.) Air. Griffiith denies
the article in to to and a retraction was
promised in a late edition of the Com -
merc^al. but it failed to appear. The
tight is daily waxing more bitter, and
fun is promised in the Republican
ranks before lông.
Hole Raising.— Capt. N. R. Benson
has erected a flag pole on his mansion
No. 504 West Fifth street, some ; fifty
or sixty feet in height, and from it
the Star Bpangled Banner will proudly
float. ExGovornor Poudor, who re
sides on Sixth street, has has also
prepared a fine flag pole.
Centennial Hymns.— la the praise

in the West Presbyteiian Church, there

will be limited to one h.
minutes.

AIcClane took his cannon out on i_L_
F ourth street hill, and fired u number of
salutes, in honor of the nomination of
