It is Ions: since we have ing a piece of demagoguetsm as a recent at tack in an afternoon paper upon a firm ol business meu who refused to advertise in that journal. The paper in question lias long claimed an extended circulation among the working people of this city, and its habitual tone has been an insult to their in telligence, but this particular piece of clap trap outdoes any of its previous perform ances. The business men in question are taken to task iu tl \<s vilest language of the demagogue because they "poorer classes." Are we not dally re minded that the city unfortunately abouudu iu the "poorer classes?" Probably Dino-tcaths oi our people arc poor in com parison with the few who have inherited or accumulated wealth, and while there is a rudeness ip reminding individuals of their own poverty there is no shadow of impro priety In recognizing the fact that some thousands of our population are poor in tliis world's goods. If, ae is intimated, the in question refused to adver tise with the sham journal because their trade lies less among the poor than among the well-to-do they were wise, lor surely the is poor indeed whose poverty iorces him to (^online his reading toJjiat particular paper. 11 the working pe»>plff are deceived by the deinagogueism of this pretended Iriezd they are easily gulled, and the more so when it is recalled that this humbug journal is saving thousands of dollars an nually by discriminating against a worthy and industrious class of workingmen, the journeymen printers. 60 disgust ;d the phrase business Crosby & Hill will be open every night this week.

M t THE "REPUBLICAN'S** EFFORT TO BULLDOZE MR. TALLEY. NO ACTION 01 STBEET UABEET. A Live Louiicl 1 manic Meeting Last Night -The Third and King News Thief Get« Hut Upon for its Cheek. The City Council was called to order last evening by President Conrad. Nearly all the members were in their seats and a goodly number of citizens mostly Interested in markets, In the lobby. Considerable confusion was created by a number of mem bers who stood talking urouud Mr. Smith's desk. Clerk Fraim began the reading 0T~the minutes, when Mr. Quinn rose to a point of order that the members should pay atten tion to the reading of tha ruinates or else be would move that the reading be suspended. 'Hie chair decided the point well takeu, and the ni«mb»?rfi took their scats, as did also Mr. Johnson, who had been talking to the president. Aller the minutes of the Thurs day night meeting Quinn occupied Ids time in reading paper. The minutes of tho Frida, meeting were begun by the clerk, w Johnson rose to a point of order to the effect that-, as Mr. Quinn, thought it well for members to listen to the reading of the min utes, he shoud do so and not Imry himself in a paper. The chair declared the order well taken and Mr. Quinn ceased reading. The petition of the administrators of the estate of William Brown, deceased, asking that a rebate of $2.50 for school tax -paid should he allowed, was reported favorably and adopted. Mr. Talley explained that Mr. Brown was a colored man and did not pay school tax, to which ClcrkFraim added : "and he's deaf, Treasurer Pierce reported a balance in the treasury of $40,005.17. Chief Engineer Mein tiro reported 34 men at work with a pay-roll of $350.50. The Street Commissioner reported 13 men, two double and one single team at work, with a pay-roll of $$7.&L Orders for tho two pay-rolls ware then granted. Mr. Eastburn stated that he had a number of petitions of persons objecting to the re moval of tho street markets but would with hold them until the proper time. Mr. Blake then reported that he had a petition irom residents of Madison street, asking that the market be removed to that thoroughfare. lie also stated that the petl tloners were in favor of having both King and Madison street« from Front to Sixth set apart for the market. The petition was presented for a reading and after considerable alleged elocutionary pyrotechnics as to whether all the catneô should be read, upon the right of objection, etc., it was read with all the names, about 125 in number. The petition was then referred to the proper committee. By request the contract of the National Dredging Compauy was extended until July 1,1883, as the time for completion. Hugh Morrow and others asked the right to set 00 feet of curb at the northeast corner of Ninth and Kirkwood streets. The request was granted, work to be done under the direction of the Street Commissioner. Henry Conner, who had live on Penn street near Seventh, wanted .water pipe extended about 100 feet. Petition re ferred to the Water Committee. Mr. Quinn presented a resolution restrict ing the amount of money to be used bjr the Committee on Sewerage for a preliminary survey at $50, and moved that it be adopted. Mr. Talley, as the chairman oi the Sewer age Committee, said if Council intended to restrict the committee to $50 It might do so, but It would immediately receive his resig nation as chairman. He thought ho was well enough knowu to bo trusted. He had been in consultation with two engineers from New York, and it would take more than $50 to pay their expenses here. It was woll to have the opinions of persons who knew about such matters. One of the engiueers, Robert Herrick, would arrive in this city next Wednesday and would be takeu by the Sewerage Committee over the proposed route to the Delaware. With some people it was a foregone conclusion that these sewer matters most be pU6hcd through at once. The speaker himself had not made up his mind and would not till ho heard the reports o 1 the engiueers. Mr. Quinn said it did not require an engi neer to tell that the city could not be drained to tho river. The city had better pay the experts to keep away. There was a debt now of $1,500,000 and the sewer business would increase it considerably. The city was well drained, and God spilled his drops over it, boing better work than the Street Commissioner. He thought it was neces sary to get water for the use of the city irom a pure source. He thought "there was a monkey somewhere," Mr, Talley replied that Mr. Quinn's re marks were like poetry, but It wasn't the water made by God that the Sewerage Com mittee were anxious to get rid of. He, Tal ley, was not wedded to the system of sewer age, but having been put upon the commit tee lie was going to do the best he could. Mr. Paynter thought the demands of tho business men and tax-payers should be no ticed. The request ol such bodies as the Board of Health and the Board of Trade ought to be considered, as they represented fully as much brains as could bo lomul in (Jouivll. He thought the knowledge of Courcil on the sewer question was very ineagre, brains, lie said, could not be bought like herring, in a bunch, and $50 was a small sum to set apart to bring such gentlemen as were needed to see whether were needed or what was the best had been adopted, Mr. a news iy night hen Mr. too." houses sew courte to adopt. He would oppose the is olation. In the opiuion of mauy citizens there is immediate need for a system of sew erage, and It is the duty of Connell to find out whether or not the city needs sewers before the meeting of the Legislature. He did not think it right to cripple the special committee and cppcludcd by saying, "If you adopt this resolution you migbt ns well discharge your special committee and inform the Board of Health and Board of Trade that you wen , t recogoizfe them." Mr. Bailey moved to aineud the motion, making the amount $100. Mr. Paynter then amendment, leaving the amount to be ex pended open to the discretion of the com mittee. Mr. Quiun said that he wanted to get clear to the kernel of the nut. It would be incurring a debt on the poor for the benefit of the rich. He objected to bringing men here from New York, us Mr. Conwell was competept and able to run the lines. Mr. Eastburn was in sympathy with the sewerage, and thought if any benefit would be derived from bringing the New York engineers here it would be. well to leavq the amount open. Finally the motion, as amended, was passed. Mr. Beecher said that he bad received a petition /Irom Dr* Bush asking (hat the ordi nance making some corrections In health ordinance be passed. , City Solicitor Turnei* then explained what the corrections were, and the prdipfti road by Clerk Fraim, and Mr. Quinn to strike out the. sum of 50 eepts prescribed to be paid the Street Commissioner. He thought it wrong to make people pay for red to amend the In nne we. moved the to and and ter, the not but ying the law. He then gave notice that .he next meeting of Council he would Introduce an ordinance doing away with the fee system, fixing the salaries of the Mayor and other city officials, the fees to be turned into the citt treasury. After a long debate on the merits and demerits of the health ordinance, the yeas and nays were called. Mr. Garrett wished to be excused from voting, as he did not know at all what he was votiug for. Council refused to excuse him but be declined to vote. An ordinance was presented by Mr.Talley P roviding appropriations for the year ending une 80,1883, was read the second time. Mr. Talley moved that the Opening Street Committee be permitted to advertise for bids for grading Market street from Twenty-Third to the city limit. Mr. Garrett objected on the old ground of insufficiency of money at the committee's command, contracts unfinished and unpaid for. etc. The resolution was passed. The condition of a small street between Lincoln and Union and Tenth and Eleventh was discussed, principally by Mr. Garrett. During the »•veiling the following orders were granted : Martin Keogh, ofHarrisou street work, $300; John Col lins, cleaning traps, $55: Louisa Meyers, $80; interest oa bonds, $11,430: MB. T ALLST AND THE "REPUBLICAN." M I Its son É4 1 ■ IOD1 At the coueluelou ol the regular meeting Mr. Talley arose to a question of privilege, and created considerable Interest by offering the following resolution : Retail'd, That, until farther action be taken by this Council that the clerk be and is hereby instructed to withhold all adver tising as well as printing of every descrip tlon from the newspaper known as the Daily or Weekly Republican , and published at the corner of Third and King streets to this city. [n explanation of the resolution Mr. Tal ley stated that William Scott Vernon,one of the proprietors of the Republican, had called upon him and the following conversation, which was read from tho speaker'e notea, had takeu place : Mr. Vernon—"Well Mr. Talley I called to about city advertising." Mr. Talley—"I am at leisure and teadv to discuss the matter." Mr. Vernon—"How la It you give the printing of the city to the Democratic papers T" Mr. Talley—"I did not move to give city did I E. M. H. H. Ulfe printing to the Democratic papers second tho motion. When the Democrats ftjority I always contended that in tho matter of city ordinances, which are laws for the benefit of our city, that every person should, as lar as Connell could grant with a degree of economy, be fur nished with a copy of the ordinance that they might comply with those laws." Mr. Vernon—"Did the Democrats do that when they were in power ?" Mr. Talley—"No; but I never upheld them in their c»/urse," and proceeded to cite what the Republican said and did to get the printing of the city at that time. "I always contended that the ordinances should be printed in the Republican at that time. 11 I were now in favor of printing ordinances in both the Republican papers, and I am not, I would lay myself open to Inconsis tency, a thing I try very hard to avoid. Do you think the Democrats did right, then— when they were in the majority Î" To the latter question Mr. Talley no reply. If Mr. amiiuaiivcij Mr. Tally explained that he had intended to asK why the Rcjmblican , after exhausting every fair means to obtain city printing and failing, had resorted to the plan of offering a percentage to the clerk for the same. If he liad replied In the nega tive Mr. Talley would have asked how he (Talley) as a champion for his (Vernon's) rights then would take it from a Democratic paper now Republican. Sir. Vernon—"Do you think your course will make you popular ?" Mr. Talley—"If I can only obtain larity at the expense of my integrity popularity go to the four winds and h on to integrity B. D. Q." Mr. Talley then continued that on the day follow ing the interview the Republican pub lished an editorial from which the following was read : "Wo claim that the ordinances should be published in the Republican on the ground of circulation. We have also an additional claim ou the Republican members of the Council. The Republican has stood by the party in adversity as well as prosperity, and have a right to expect the patronage of the party. Meu who iguore the claim» of the Republican for a fair 6hare of the pat ronage of the city cannot reasonably expect its support if they should happeu to be can didates for re-election. * * * * opposed to the members of the party committing political suicide or cutting olf the head in order to get rid of a diseased limb. The patronage of the party should be glxcn to members of the party until it is sboWfi that some other Individual effectually promote the interests of the city; in such case we have not one word to say, but yield the point with the best possible feeling." Afterwards Mr. Talley wrote and mailed the following letter : Wilmington, Dec. 19, 1882. — Messrs. Ocorrje IF. Vernon <£• Son — Gents : I read in your paper this p. m. iu the editorial columh some remarks as well as threats concerning the duties of Councilmen. Will you do me the favor of 6aying over your own signature if they are meant especially for me, for I was inclined alter my conver sation with your Mr. Scott Vernon to so consider them. were in the received Vernon had answered in let rate Wo I am yours iruiy, C. W. Talley. Ho had asked fl#r a specific answer and gotten a genet ai one in the following editorial : "We have received a note from a member of the City Council iuquiriug whether the lemarks in yesterday's Republican in regard to tho duties of Councilmen were intended to apply to him. For his enlightenment wo will say that they were Intended to apply to all Republicans who inay favor Democratic papers at the expense of tfietr own party papers, and wo believe that the members of tlie Republican party generally will sustain us iu this positiou. The party controlling the patronage of the city has heretofore given said patron age to tho city papers which imported them, aud the same practice will continue to be followed very generally In the future. We have never kuowu a man who wished to bestow patronage on thé opposite papers in preference to those of bis own parry, und for auy one to do so is evidence th something wrong somewhere. W disposition to censure the members of Council for the adoption of the ordinance In question, but we think they should correct the error into which they have fallen and thus remove all cause of complaint ou the part of the Republican papers of our city." Mr. Talley then asked Council If it was right t]bat such a paper should receive any of the city printing. The Republican.pat undertook, he said,'to bulldoze him. T Neies always said Uwnks for what was given them, but the Republican party thinks theft paper ought to fee supported by the party in power. They came over the bridge to pick up a light with him, but they would find that they had waked up the w rong pas senger.

The member form the 8evonth ward should not bring bis grievance before the public.' 1 A motion was made by Mr. Moore to in definitely postpone further consideration of the resolution, but was lost by a vote of 10 to 13, Messrs, Bailey, Beecher, Eastburn, Oarrett, Grubb, Miller, Moore, Johnson, Paynter and Stevenson voting aye, and Messrs. Abele, Baugh, Blake, Denny, File, Menton, McKenna, Newell, Qnfnn, Smith, Talley and Conrad voting nay. A motion to adopt the resolution was then lost by a vote of 11 to 12, as follows : Messrs.

Bally, Beecher, Eastburn, Gar rett, Grubb, Miller, Moore Johnson, Payn ter, Smith, Stevenson and Conrad against it. An adjournment was then taked, when the suggestion was made privately by Mr. Johnson to Mr. Talley that the latter should not have brought bis difficulty to Council but have taken a shingle and gone over and spanked William Scott Vernon.
