TO HE-APPOINTED.
■a iiervlaor Question Nettled at l.s'l
ror tbe Present—The Opinion
thet'liurl In Favor of Their Ap
pointment.
This morning at the United States
Court there were very few iu attend
ance, it Dot tielug generally known that
the opinion of the Court upou the ques
tion of supervisors was about to be an
nounced There were a number
lawyers present among whom were Mr.
Anthony Higgins, Ksq., counsel for the
petitioners and George 11. Bates, Esq.,
representing tbo objectors.
The Court begun to quote the stat
utes, after which he cousidered the act
itself. The opiuion made the act liber
al, and this liberality was the inten
tion of its makers ; there can he
narrow construction of it. The opinion
then cousidered tbe assessment in our
State in connection with the law
registration ; the right of tire Court
accept the assessment laws as being
within the spirit of the Congressional
act when the provisions of the law are
laithfully carried out; provided this
done iu accordance with the meaning
of said law, and of the right of the pro
visions of the registration law stepping
iD in case of these assessment laws being
vio'ated.
To the question: Is there a fit and suffi
cient sul'ject matter for this act to work
upon is the pertinent question, he said.
1st. Tbeie are officers to make out
list or to put on the assessment the
names of voters.
2nd. Those offictrs are assessors and
L-vy Courts.
3rd. There are times and places fixed
by law for the working out of those
lists and fur their examination and cor
rection.
4th, The laws of Delaware comtem
plate these lists being guarded ami
scrutinized by its owu citizens.
5tb, There are times and places fixed
by law for this purpose.
tith, Relating to the assessment sit
ting on the last day of January to
correct the lists.
7th. The Levy court is bound to en
tertain applicatiou for names to be
placed on the assessment list though
none are taken of.
8th. The clerk of the Peace is bound
to make and certify each|year an alpha
betical list of all free male citizens of
the age of twenty one and upwards.
The opinion took up an hour iu its
delivery. Iu conclusion he said: If
am right iu my conclusion I would do
a great wrong in not making these ap
pointments; while if I err in my legal
judgment no injury is done to any; nor
no mans right's are invaded or affected
injuriously; aud ample opportunity
will be given before a full bench with
full argument to have this delicate
question finally determined. I shall
therefore make an appointment of Su
pervisors of Election as suitable names
shall be presented to
•Supervisor of Election of this district.
Mr. Valentine, the Chief Supervisor,
has not made out the list and cannot
until names from the lower hundreds
are handed in.

Theodore J. McGurk was convicted
of murder iu the first degree, to-day, iu
tbe Court of Quarter ScHeiona Philadel
phia yesterday. This crime was com
mitted 14 years ago, and the victim
was James Neads a colored watchman
iu the establishment of S. S. White.
McGurk was one of the notorious Fourth
Ward gang, which was a terror in the
city at that time, at the head ef which
was the no less notorious 'Squire Bill
McMullin. Two years ago McGurk be
lieved he was goiDg to die, and he con
fessed the murder to Mrs. Sanford, of
Erie, at whose house he resided.
They made known the facts to the au
thorities aud McGurk was brought here.
He was convicted upou the uncorro
borated confession made to the woman.
McGurk is one of the last of the gang.
He was a weak-minded man, who was
used by the villains for all sorts of
wickedness.
Some years ago he confessed to start
ing a coal-oil fire, which devastated 2
blocks in the city and caused a loss of
about 10 lives, but no one believed
him. Not one of his old associates ap
peared to endeavor to save him, but let
him go, on the principle that dead men
tell no tales.

Joseph T. Crowell, ex City Treasurer
Rahway, aud formerly President oi
the Senate aud Speaker of the Assembly
New Jersey, has been indicted by the
Union County Grand Jury upon acharge
embezzelment of $4b,033.39. Efforts
have been made frequently to secure an
indictment against Mr. Crowell,
have failed until a recent decision of the
Supreme Court sustaining the claims of
the city against him aud his bondsmen.
Mr. Crowell became City Treasurer
Rahway iu 1869, when his salary was
$600, with an addition of 2 percent,
commission ou all collections on land
sold for taxes. A
charter iu 1&72 took away the salary
and reduced the commission to
cent. It is claimed that while this com
mission was thought to be uomiual onlv
and would reduce the expenses of the
city, it practically increased the Treas
urer's income from less than $700 to
more than $9,000 a year, and that his
legitimate income for the next live years
$o 1,159.94. It has been discovered
alleged, that Mr. Crowell really took
seven years $101,053.33, $48,693 36
more than he was entitled to. His
bondsmen from 1869 to 1872 were ex
Henator Henry J, atone and Freeholder
Robert A. Russel, and the next live
yearb, covered by a recent judgment
eph T. aud David Crowell, Robert A
Russel, Joseph 8. Smith and George 1\
Gordon. It is thought that the city
will recover nothing from the bonds
meu except, # what it may get from the
Smith estate.
It is doubttul whether Mr. Crowell
he criminally couvicted, as under
statutn of limitations at the time
criminal liability extended over only
years.

Henry C. Conrad, Ksq., Actuary
the Delaware Association for the educa
tion of the colored people, msds his
second visit down the State this week.
V esterday he returned. In conversa
tion with him the Rbfubuoax learned
that the condition of the children men
tally, over previous years, was nreatly
improved, and that the aptness with
which the scholars grasped their tasks
was remarkable, indicating a bright
and promising future in the condition
of the colored people of the State.
In Dover there is a very good school
taught by Miss Clara N. Draper, in
which there iB some sixty children. It
is a commodious two story frame build
ing with every convenience. Next to
tlie Howard school of Wilmington this
is the best school in the State. Fork
Branch school at DuPont's station,
miles from Dover, has fifty scholars.
Here exists a peculiarity which is un
known in any other districts. The
people of Fork Branch are an exclusive
community and wbat is more strange
are all nearly white.
They hold themselves aloof from as
sociation with their darker brethern,
and their manners and peculiar social
ideas make them interesting subjects
of study In some instances their fea
tures are as strongly marked and un
mistakably Celtic as many of those who
boast pure Irish origin. The children
of the school partake of the same indi
viduality.
They are orderly and naturally
bright, and give every evidenoe of an
innate desire for culture born into
them through contact with their white
and more enlightened neighbors. The
school has only been going but a short
time, but in that time the result has
been most satisfactory.
About a mile and a half below Leipsic
is situated another school. It is held
in Grimes' Chapel. There are between
thirty-five and forty children. The
sohool is in fair oondition. At Harring
ton there are two schools, the peculiar
feature of which is the attendance of so
many large scholars.
Near Felton is the Plymouth sohool
which labors under considerable in
convenience. There are forty-five
scholars who are packed in a room
18 X 18 feet. When the school is
iu session the space is so cramped
that the teacher finds trouble in hear
ing recitations. Notwithstanding the
drawbacks the scholars labor under
they seem desirous to attend and being
diliigent are advanced in their studies.
The Magnolia school being in a thick
ly populated neigli borhood is fairly at
tended, there being thirty-five
daily average. At Williamsville, in
the southern part of Kent County, is
another school in about the same con
dition. Three miles from Seaford is
the Concord school. There Mr. Conrad
said he found a very flue lot of child
ren. This particular institution has
been neretefore considered by the As
sociation as the weakest school in the
State, but under the tuition of Miss
Hie K. Wright, of Philadelphia, it has
been brought up to the standard and
considering the fact that the scholars
have only had three months of School
ing in the winter and
none at all, he looks upon the progress
as being remarkable.
In one district exists a misunder
standing; and that is at Frederica
where the people insist iu keeping a
teacher who is not only deficient in
the rudiments but is totally unfit for
child training. The teacher is an old
man well thought of in the community
and for whom the actuary holds the
greatest respect, hut owing to his ina
bility the officer will not second the
representation and hence the misun
derstanding. The association with
holds aid and in the meantime the
expenses aje borne by the parents of
the scholars.

A Falae Arrest.
Last Saturday, Deputy Sheriff G. C.
Ward served a oapioas npou Mr. John
Gibbons, bntoher in Second street
ket, arresting him on two charges, and
requiring him to give bail iu 400 in
each case. Mr. Gibbon not knowing
the reason of this arrest was cousidera
bly exercised and securing Mr. William
Ciavey as his surety investigat-d the
matter and discovered that he had been
arrested on the charge of illegal voting.
He also learned that the charge had
been made though erroneously stated
at the investigation of George R. Rob
erts aud Daniel Stewart. Interviewing
these gentlemen he learned that they
were merely witnesses and that he was
the wrong John Gibbons. Mr. Ward
was then notified of his mistake who
relieved the sureties and re-commenced
anew the search after Johu Gibbons.

Welearn from the Newark "Ledgei"
that Wm. Dean forwarded an Alderuy
bullcalf, four weeks old,to Thos. Maivel
Kent County, a few days ago. It
farther says that Mr. D. has an tinsually
fine head of this stock and he is in the
habit of sending the calves over the
State, especially to the more prominent
farmers in Kent and Sussex Counties,
a gift, in order to bring the cattle up
a proper degree of excellence. If Mr.
is so very public spirited
gladly relieve him of one of these bo
vine specimens and give him a big
"puff" to boot.
