The Colored Voters and Representatian To the Editor of the Gazette: I am much pleased to see that the colored peo ple recognize the fact that ODe county in Delaware is as good another, but not auy better, only equal. A convention is to be held at Dover on Monday, September 10th, 1883, and 30 delegates are to be chosen from each county. What will the Republican growlers have to say about this matter ? According to their teachings New Castle county should have 60 delegates, as many as both of the other eounties. The colored people sense In not making any discrimination be cause one county has more money, or land, more Inhabitants than another. The Republican , no doubt, will look Into this matter, and write a long, senseless article on the 50,000disfranchised whites and blacks of this county. Equality. right. They «how their good No Money for the Poor. To the Editor of the Gazette : The Secretary of the Treasury at Washlnrtou more money for the sufferlcg poor in Florida, but Bald Treasurer had money to pay lor wine, sin, whiskey, cigars, lunch, &c., for the "truly loyal" party that at tended the dead President's funeral, and money will be plenty when a State 1« to be bought with fund« stolen by 8tai Route thieves.

Mr. Baugh sa'd that the matter was a great nuisance and he would like to know how the committee were going to have it abated. Unless some means were specified it would not be abated until snow fell. Mr. Eastburn replied that the committee thought it would be best to leave the mat ter to the company. Mr. Blake thought that the best way to get rid of the matter was to order the pany to pave between the tracks, the signers to the petition was Mr. F. N. Buck, one of the directors of the road. Mr. Pickel's moved to ameud the report of the committee to the effect that the com pany be requested to pave between the tracks.

A communication and several drawings from the Chief Engineer of the Surveying Department in reference to Shipley Run sewer at Maryland avenue and Monroe street, was presented and referred to the Street Committee. The chair announced that the ordinances fixing the «alary of the Harbor Master and for the relief of 8. G. Sim mous & Bro., had beeu approved by the Mayor, and were therefore ordinances of the city. The chair also announced that the ordi nance granting permission to the P., W. & B. R. R Co., to use the. north side of Third street between Pine aud Spruce street had been returned by the Mayor unsigned, but inasmuch as it had not been vetoed within the pi escribed time, it had become a law.

Mr. Eastburn presented a resolution authorizing the Street Committee to adver tise for proposals for taking up and rep ing the bed of Front street between Wall and Poplar streets Adopted.

He thought It was oniv wasting time, as Coun kn<*w what the commun lea! Ion was. After Mr. Baugh'* request had beeu com plied with the gentleman stated that he did n<>t think the resolutions as read by the clerk were a verbatim copy of those presented oy the Solicitor and adopted by Council. He contended that the Law Committee had not done their duty. The majority of the committee had not con sulted with the minority at all, and they also had not complied with the resolutions, as no opinion bad been received. He would like to know something about the matter, and he would move that the Law Commit tee be instruct d to report the opinion of Council at the next meeting ot Council. Mr. Pickels moved to lay the motion on the table. # Mi. Blake called for the ayes and nays. Mr. Farrell said he was very sorry that the gentleman had made the motion. Mr. Picke)6 raised the point of order that the gentleman was out of order, as the ayes and nays had been called. Mr. Farrei, c what the gentleman from the First ward Mr. Pickels again objected, and the chair ruled Mr Farrell out of order. The calls of the ayes and nays was then proceeded with, and wh«n Mr. Farrel'e name was called, he arose and said he de sired to explain bis vote. He said 1; ap peared to him that the gent irom the Fifth ward and his colleagues did not want any light on the subject. He thought a« Coun cil was paying for an opinion the whole body had a right to know what that opinion was. It should not t>e known only to a select few. He voted no. Mr. Taylor also arose to explain bis vote. He was of the same opinion as Mr. Farrell, aDd the Republican side of the house were afraid to let the opinion be known. Mr. Pickels —"Mr. President, I object. If you are going to allow the matter to be dis cussed I want a chance to reply." Mr. Taylor turning uround to Mr. Pick els, said somewhat angrily: "You are afraid to discuss the matter." Mr. Pickels —"I am ready at any time." Mr. Taylor—"You are afraid, or else you would never have moved to lay the motion on the table and cut of! discussion." The motion to lay on the table was adopted by a vote of 10 ayes to 8 nays. Mr. Baugh, not being satisfied, said he would ask the Law Committee what they had done in the matter. Mr. Pickels again interrupted, saying the matter had just been disposed of. Mr. 8mith, chairman of the Law Com mittee, arose to reply, but was interrupted by Mr. Pickels, who said counsel had been employed. Mr. Baugh, "I would ask If Mr. Pickels Is running this Council ! The gentleman from the Ninth ward knows all about the matter, let him answer." The only answer that Mr. Smith vouchsafed was: "You will hear in due time." Adjourned. ORDERS.

The cattle are starving, and the population are In despair. The Soengepan volcano was for many hours enveloped In an enormous luminous cloui, which gradually In creased in size until it formed a canopy of lurid red aud whitish gray over a wide extent of territory. During this time the eruptions increased, and streams of lava poured Incessantly down the sides of the mountains, sweeping every thing before them. Where a stream of lava entered an arm of the sea or came in con tact with the water of a river, the incades cent lava produced boiling heat and rapid vaporization. The fissures that opened in this thin crust as It solidified on the stream of lava emitted torrents of vapor, extern ing high into the air, and making a tremendous seething sound. The air was filled with dense black smoke and rolling clouds of flame, which seemed to envelope aud agitate the earth with tor rents of burning lava rushing into the sea. The roar of the flames and hissing of the water became almost deafening. The re turning waves rushed upon the shore to an unprecedented height. Between the Southwestern point of the island and Gunnug Guntur several villages disappeared from sight during the second night of the eruption. The number of dead can scarcely be estimated. Seven hundred and four bodies of victims of the disaster have been buried in the district of Tamara, and three hundred bodies in the coast vil lage oi Kramat alone, aud in other and more populous districts torrents of lava have buried whole settlements.

Out of The seven bandied peo le who assembled at Quickstep Park yesterday afternoon, to to witness the Quickstep-Ac five name, were delighted wkh the finest exhibition of genuine, hard batting ever seen In this city. Benners led off with six clean hit«, with * total of eight, Kelnzel following with five, with a total of seven, while all the others were close behind. Snyder, although he he did not get around the bases, made four clean hits, while Albert covered himself with glory by hitting for a home run when the bases were full. Hoover «Iso hit hard and fielded splendidly, and Benners redeemed himself with four put outs and one assist, in addition to his heavy batting. Each Quickstep player got at least one clean hit. The vis,tors played fairly, considering the fact that they played against a lead of 13 runs in the first Inning Friel, their pitcher, after the good record he made In Brooklyn, was fairly appalled at the freedom with which the Quicksteps batted his delivery.

Albert redeemed himself yesterday by making some wonderful stops. Morris and Carrol aud Henry and St.Law rence are the bkttery for this afternoon. It was joy to Pyle and Hoover yesterday, the way they walked away with the Actives. Friei pitched at Brooklyn, on Tuesday, and hut four clean hits were made off him. The Quickstep play the Virginia, of Rich mond, three games, on September 9, 10 and 11. Rumor has it that Browning, of Lou4s vil'e, w 11 play left field for the Athletic ncseason. When Pyle and Hoover is meant every time, getting in, they are In. Tomney, who played short yesterday for the Active, was here on trial as a pitcher in the early part of the season. There will be a meeting of the American Base B«ll Association to consider the re serve rule at Pittsburg on Saturday. The Quickstep in the last six games they have played have made the remarkable re cord of 102 base-hits for a total 152 bases. great yesterday, the vibitors making but nine hits <<ff him, five of which were scratches and six Id one in ning after a chance to put three men out had presented itself. The Chi« ago Union Base Ball Association has released all its players, and will not have a nine in the field during the remain der of the season. The association is sound financially, but it has determined to devote the remainder of the season to securing a first-class club for next year, when it ex pects to belong to the American Associa tion. A movement is on foot to organize an in^ dependent base ball association, and forthat E urpoee representatives from Chicago, St. ouis, Indianapolis, Fittsburg, Nçw York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Hartford will meet on October 12, in Pittsburg. It is the intention of the new organization to ignore the "eleven men rule" now in vogue in the League and the American Association, and to make a number of alterations in the play ing rules. . on bases busi If there is any Pyle's pitching
