Dover, Oct. 28, 1882.—As un earnest of
the statements promised of the accounts of
the collectors of the various hundred* of
this county, wnich that highly moral and
responsible journal the Murnintj Setrx states
show deflcencles to the amount of 884.505.21,
from 1871 to 1876, the accounts of the col
herewith mb
lectors of Dover hundred
milted. Iu the table published by the Sc
the 18th, this hundred is set down as
being in arrears to the umount of the very
Insignificant sum of $10,394.61. It will hc
observed by examining the subjoined state
ments that not one cent has been lost to the
county through collector« of Dover huhdred
but that the collector bus actually been over
paid 22 cents. The payments are not given
in detail by dates on accouut of taking up

The statements of the accounts of some of
the collectors have been carefully compared
with the Auditor's reports containing the
p«me, and have been found to agree, figure
for figure, and It is believed all the accounts
will compare equally well, and that the
Auditor's reports, If intelligently examined,
will show exuctly the same uh the foregoing
statements.
The scribe who manufactured the table
being publhhcd in the Seicx Is advised to
wrap u wet towel firmly around his head, go

A Republican Speaker Who Does not
Head Hlstoiy.
To the Editor op the Gazette :—Mr.
Bird, in his great effort at Fourth and Mar
ket streets, on the lUlli lust., told hlsheurers
amongst other things, that the Democratic
party was "un progressive, immovable. It
glories iu the days of stage coaches as against
railroads, and would rather float lazily along
the stream of time iu the Indian canoes tliuu
own the commerce of the world." Does not
Mr. Bird know that for 40years under Dem
ocratic rule the Aniericau flag was found iu
every part of the world ami her ships upon
every sea loaded with the products of this
country destined for some port, and would
bring back in return the products of other
countries to this ! How is it to-day under
Republican rule aud how has it lice» for the
past twenty-one years ? Who does the carry
ing trade now ? American ships ( No ; but
English, German, French, Spanish, Russian,
Danish aud the American stands seventh.
assertion is made by our
consuls In foreign countries to the
administration at Washington aud
oue of fiaid reports is iu the hands of
ypur correspondent. Under Republican
rule wc have lost this great American indus
try. If Mr. Bird will go to New York city
aud visit jM >i 111 h where ships arc con
stantly leaving for foreign countries, he will
find what I say is true, that the carrying
trad«? has been swept away from
country, and is done chiefly by for
eignen», and all because of Republican
mismanagement. 1 think the canoe
trade is being revived under the Republican
party in Delaware, at least they propose to
sail on land and arc now making the experi
ment with a canoe ealled the "New Consti
tution." They find sailing on water a
failure and are proposing to the people of
Delaware to sail ships on land drawn by
horses. As they do not understand naviga
tion they will fail to find a safe harbor on
November the eighth, and will leave the
grand old Democratic |w»rt open for Charles
C. Stock ley, as commuudcr, to sail into and
anchor safely for four years.

The story is printed that the notorious
Richard Harrington, who is now managing
the Republican campaign in lXdawarc, will
hltnself be a candidate for the United States
Senate in the event that the Legislature is
Republican. There is nothing at all im
probable in this statement. Harrington
doing all tlmt is i>osbible to debauch the
State and he is giving particular attention
to the choice of members of the Législature.
What money can do will doubtless be done,
but money has never boeu a very potent in
fluence with the honest voters of Delaware,
aud it would be strange, indeed, if they
should yield this year to benefit a man like
Harrington. His promiuence In the canvass
aud his kind of campaign ought to be a
sufficient reason to every dcccut voter of the
State for doing everything possible to pre
vent the humiliation of Delaware.

Counsel aud Knglneer»--Banquet After
the Tlrenome Tramp.
Ph
Hliown and Kxplalne
Council, in full numbers, Inspected the
proposed route of the new Baltimore &
Ohio road through Wilmington on Saturday
afternoon, being conveyed from tire City
Hall in barouches.
Besides the council men there
party James L. Randolph, of Baltimore,
Chief Knglneer ; Major Samuel Canby,
Assistant Knglneer ; Capt. W. II. Smith,
Right of Way Agent, and Levi C. Bird, Esq.,
.counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad;
Daniel Connell, Superintendent of Delaware
Western railroad ; Myers C. Con well, Chief
nginccr of the City of Wilmington ; Henry
. Turner , City Solicitor ; Joseph K.
Adams and Robert II. Taylor, ex-members
of City Council, and representatives of the
daily paliers.
The party wore driven at once to the
corner ol Twelfth and Union streets, whe
with maps and copies of the proposed ordi
nance a careful survey was made of tin* line
run and staked out by the railroad engineers.
The new road will strike Union street, which
is the boundary of the city, about 150 feet
south of Eleventh street. The principal
object of the meeting was the examination
of the grades as laid out by th« city engin
eers, and how they would be affected by the
railroad.
Where it is to cross Union street the grade
will be raised 1 4-10 feet above the regula
tion, a change which will be of decided
benefit to the city, turning the water aud
making the draiuage better. It crosses
Pennsylvania avenue 58 feet south of the
centre of Union street, the grade of that
avenue iieliig raised about the same as the
street. The next streets crossed are Thir
teenth and Lincoln, at their intersection,
about \% feet below grade.
Fourteenth street is crossed 100 feet north
of Scott street, and that is where the first
appearance bf an inconvenience arises. The
prop« bitiou Is to cross that point 5 4-10 feet
atfove grade, but Engineer Canby thinks
the city grade can be changed, at the cx
l>cmc of the company, ami the drainage
run to Lincoln or Union street without any
difficulty whatever.
Just beyond Fourteenth street, Scott
street is crossed diagonally, 189 feet cast of
the former. The proposition is to raise the
çrade 7 3-10 feet above that fixed by the city,
jut Engineer Randolph suggests that a
hollow or indentation In the street be made
and a bridge thrown, allowing the roadway
to run beneath. That would be the most
desirable plan, and the drainage could be
accomplished by
at Fourteenth steect.
gutters of course would he paved
more than likely the bridge will be placed
there. It would rest on three rows of jtosts,
one at each curb and one iu the centre of
the street, dividing'the two road ways.
A sufficient grade or declination can be
obtained under the bridge in a distance of
500 feet, 250 feet each side of the bridge,and
the grade will uot be a difficult oue for
vehicle«.
As soon as Scott street is crossed the road
reaches a lot of acres, bounded by Scott,
DuPont and Fourteenth streets and Dela
ware avenue, which is owned by the railroad
company. On It they propose to erect
workshops, round house, freight and pas
senger stations and whatever other buildings
arc needed, besides having a yard for drill
iug and standing of rolling stock.
Sixteenth street Is run, hut not graded,
across the lot, and that the company ask
thé privilege of closing up, as otherwise it
would interfere with building operations, in
the event of their obtaining the rights asked
for. The street, while belonging to the city,
is said to have never been deeded to it, and
its closing would be of no loss or injury,
inasmuch as Delaware avenue is but two
thirds of a block away at
lot and only half a block at the other. A

matter will be taken to tUe Legislature for
confirmation.
Delaware avenue will be crossed on a
bridge 14 leet above the roadway, about 110
feet north of DuPont street, just west of the
Logan House aud between that hotel and a
dwelling, striking Gilpin avenue 88 feet
north of DuPont street, 7 (MO feet above
the grade. At this point, lnatead of lining
up, It Is suggested that the grades of both
and DuPont street be
a
Gilpin
materially changed, that of the former re
versed so as to incline to the north instead
of the south, passing under a bridge 12 leet
above the roadway, on the same plan as the
proposed otic at Scott street.
From Gilpin avenue the grade begins to
fall, and at SI. all cross avenue the city grade
will be raised 3 9-10 feet without any detri
ment to the adjoining property, most of
which is owned by the company. Shall
avenue is crossed 64 feet north of Du
avenue

Pont 6trcct.
Lovering avenue is crossed, almost at the
grade laid down by the city, at its inter
section with DuPont street. The line runs
just about where the north sidewalk of
DuPont street would come, and opposite St.
James' Catholic church, which is not apt
About mid
way to Wawasett street the road makes a
curve of 4 degrees to the right, crossing
diagonally the intersection of Wawasett and

wine is soon reached, and there the trestle
work will begin as an approach totlie bridge
across the stream, which will be 108 feet

trestles and bridge will be about 1,200 feet.
The members of Council followed the
line faithfully and took a decided interest in
tho very clear explanation of the proposed
plan. „ .
A bee-line was made over fences, through
turnip patches, up hanks, over gullies,

THE CABINET AND THE STAR ROUTE
The Trealdent Feara the Administration
Will be Injured by the Court* of the
Department of JiiHtice—Cabinet Topic«.
Washington, Oct. 21.—There is good
reason to believe that the President and hie
Cabinet concluded to have something to say
regarding the present 8tar Route bril>ery
investigation and the eoming new Star
Route trial.
It was learned to-night that the ëubjcet
was brought up lu the Cabiuet meeting
held yesterday, and that there was expressed
a strong feeling that the administration was
iu a fair way to be injured by the course of
the Department of Justice.
Secretaries Frelinghuyeen and Lincoln
suggested that Attorney-General Brewster
be asked to nresent the result ol his investi
gation and h s plan for a new trial, "for the
Information of the Cabinet and President.''
It is thought that Mr. Brewster will no
doubt be glad to do so.
It is not known whether Brewster
telegruphed for or not, but it is known that
at u late hour he concluded u> conic on from
Philadelphia, although, a short time before
he hud sent for important papers to be ex
pressed to him. The first thing to-day he
made u hurried examination of the state
ment prepared by Wells, in answer to the
charge of bribery, and carried it with him
to his conference with the President, and
Secretaries Frelinghuysen and Lincoln.
Later Secretary Frcliughuyscn is known
to have expressed a wish that there would
be no further necessity for trying eases in
the newspupens. Beyond that nothing can
be ascertained of what took place. Secre
tary Lincoln, however, who had intended to
go West to-night has deferred his proposed
trip, ar.d Attorney-General Brewster, who
promised to give a statement for publica
tion to-morrow, says that it may be with
held for several days, and rumor haB it
that the entire matter will be read at the
next Cabinet meeting before being given to

that a name less prominent on the Hot will

[Later]—It is understood to-night, that
although the army promotions have not yet
been announced, they have been finally de

Setior Elmore, the Peruvian minister, re

Rosa, the Peruvian miuistcr in Paris, stat
that peace negotiations continue in Chili,
and that Senor Piorola is in Pa* Is. Being
asked regarding the alleged disturbances in
Peru, Minister Elmore said every rumor
published during the last year by Peru'^
enemies, alleging the existance of a state of
anarchy, was absolutely false.
No Peruvian of any importance opposes
or has opposed provisional government rep
resented by Caldron and Montoro since the
day the United .States recognized it, not ex

the moral influence of the United 8tates re

DAVITT'S DENIAL.
He Say« There Is No Iletieiency In the
Land League FuimIh.
London, Oct. 22.—An anonymous com
munication appeared in the Irixh Timex last
week in which it was asserted by the writer,
who pretended to base his conclusions
examination of the financial statements of
the Ladies' Land League as they appeared
from time to time in the Dublin papers and
a comparison ot the same with Mr. Eagan's
statement to the conference, that there was
an understatement by Mr. Eagan of receipts
from the general fund of tho Land League
amounting to £25,086, and an over estimate
of expenditures by £71,264 which were un
accounted for. Justin McCarthy, M. P.,
and M.chacl Davitt, who arc trustees of the
Land League fund, and Mr. McCarthy, Jr.,
who is acting ns his father's secretary, have
been interviewed on the subject. They de
clare from their personal knowledge that
j utterly unfounded, aud
hielt have been
the accusations
arc a pack of charges
circulating among the Liberal party ever
since the Land League was organized. All
their information points to the fact that the
nom dc plume "One who Knows," by which
the communication is signed is the one Used
by Arnold Forster In a pamphlet attack on
the League. Mr. Davitt, besides scouting
the charges as false, entered Into explana
tions with regard to certain paragraphs of
the communication. In regard to an accu
sation in the letter that Mr. Egan, though
accountable for the relief, etc., offered
through the Ladies' Land League, did not
give any account of the money he received
through It, Mr. Davitt explains that this was
simply because Mr. Egan did not receive
anything from that source ; every sixpence
collected by the ladies was expended by the
ladies and that they moreover since March
last have drawn upon Mr. Egan for £50,000.
Mr. Davitt states that when Mr. Parnell
and himself had a conversation in which
Mr. Parnell sj>okc of the Ladies League
being somewhat profuse in expenditures.
In regard to a charge in the letter that Mr.
Purnell had stated at a meeting that the ex
penses ol the organization never exceeded
£150 weekly; neither lie nor Mr. Davitt
remember any such utterance by Mr. Par
nell. Mr. Davitt declares that at the time
of the greatest activity of the League tlmt
with printing and the eounty organizations
the expenditures must have been double
£150. He says that the publicaion of the
letter iu the icixh Timex has made no 6tir iu
Ireland, and he first heard of it to-day. The
Irish Timex makes no meutiou of the matter
in its leading editorials.
Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 22.—At a meeting
of the Irish Land League No. 1 to-day, reso
lutions were adopted emphatically de
nouncing the allegations of fraud against
Mr. Parnell and his associates.
Cork, Oct. 22.—At a meeting to-day of
the local committee of the Mansion House
Relief, it was stated that when Mr. Parnell
comes he would summon a meeting of his
lie constituents for the purpose of forming a
1 basis for the National League.
