lafaaiost Action* by the Levy
Court.
The week's work of the Levy Court
closed yesterday, aud the assessment
lists contain only seventy-six more
names than they did when the court
opened on Tuesday. Had the Levy
Court felt so disposed there would have
been five hundred names plaoed on the
lists. The history of the week is a sad
commentary on the ways of politicians,
that are dark and tricks that are rain.
• The court will be very much mistaken
if it thinks the public eye does not pen
etrate through the gauzy covering
which the members have drawn around
their aotions. Never before was there
so much interest oentred in the actions
SO
of the Levy Conrt, and we can also
trut* fully
JO*
say that never before were
dings of the court so fully
the \t
report d And spread before the public
through tile medium of the press. Let
us in summing up see what the epurt
has done. It met on Tuesday, March
tL« StfOind, ||as usual, to transact the
business of the county which was the
assessment of voters whom the asscss
ors had omitted. How was that duty
performed? W» will see. It is well
known that after the most determined
^/fforts to get assessed by the regular as
sessors, hand reds of citizens entitled to
Tote were left off the assessment. Those
thns omitted had one leconrsa left, and
all looked forward hopefully to the
Sleeting of the Levy Court. Surely,
'bought the oyer confiding ones who
nad thns far been disfranchised, the
Levy Court elected by the people and
sworn to do Justice to all, would hear
their plea and grant their reasonable
and just requests. The court met and
as soon a3 possible after the appoint
ment of the usual necessary standing
committees were appointed, Anthony
Higgins, Samuel Guthrie, and S. A.
Macalister, Eiqs., and Marshal McMul
len appeared aa a committee on behalf
of these disfranchised voters.
Mr. Higgins asked the Conrt, in or
der to economize its time and save ex
pense to the citizens in waiting, to
name a certain day when these persons
could come before the Court aud be as
sessed. He represented that there
would be probably a thousand oj more
who would apply to ha assessed if this
plan was adopted. He also respectfully
represented to the Court that there
were already upon the assessment lists
the names of four hundred persons who
had been returned as delinquents at
the March term of th9 Levy Conrt of
1879, and consequently they could not
be legally assessed until one year
thereafter. Of course, though Mr. Hig
gins did not state that fact, it was well
known that the four hundred persons
illegally assessed were Democrats. It
is a matter of record and fact that no
Democrat was refused assessment, the
assessment lists themselves beiDg proof,
while there were from a thousand to
twelve hundred Republicans left off the
lists. It is well known that long lists
of names of Democrats were gathered
np at cigar stores and liquor saloons
and sent to the Assessors, all of which
were placed upon the assessment lists,
while the Republicans were denied as
sessment unless they appeared in per
son, and even then, though in every
respect qualified, they were refused,
at least their names did not appear
upon the assessment lists when pub
lished.
On behalf of those who bad suffered
such monstrous injustice the gentlemen
named appeared before the court. Mr.
Higgins pleading for a full as leisaient
and protesting as firmly against those
who had been illegally placed upon
the assessment. What was the response
to Mr. Higgins' reasonable request?
Nona whatever has been made. But
on the contrary a member of the conrt
made a motion that the matter he de
ferred for the present,
nificaut. "For the present," ambiguous

and respectful address, lie held out the

well qualified as themselves from exer

citizenship, tgog in the past the deo
laration, "I am a Roman oitissn,'* was
sufficient to save from indignity, but at
the present day, before a Delaware
ocnrt, the declaration, "I am an Ameri
can citizen,'' affords only a sufficient

oppression. To the left stood hundreds
of citizens, pleading for their rights,
which plea is praotioally disregarded.
To the right stood the eommittee re
ferred to, pleading for a simple act of
jnstioe to these disfranchised men.
What has been the result f The
pleadings of these leading citizens have
been treated with the most ignominous
contempt, the President of the Court
even going so far as to impugn the
motives of the committee, and charging
them with being influenced by political
considerations. "There must besoms
thing behind this other than finances,"
3a:d the President, as if that weak and
undignified plea could be urged a3 an
excuse for keeping thousands of citi
zens disfranchised. Verily we live in
the days of despotism when our rulers
trample the rights of thousands of citi
zens into the dust. The gentlemanly
and caorteous request of this committee
has not yet been granted, and has not
SO far we have been informed even
caused a moment's consultation in the
secret caucuses of the Levy Court. "It
hasn't been mentioned yet so far as I
know," said a Levy Conrtman to us on
the adjournment of the Court last even
ing. It would be useless for us to detail
at length the subterfuges aud tricks re
sorted to by this Levy Court to kill
time and defeat the purposes of the Re
publicans to get on the assessment.
These facts have been fully detailed
during the week in the papers, espe
cially in the Ripublican. Yesterday,
the last day of the Court fir the pres
ent week, the members went into secret
caucus at 11 o'clock in the morning,
and remained in the consultation room
until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, only
taking time to come out and gtt din
ner. What was thi3 for ? They said for
the purpose of deliberating upon the
appointment of Constables and Bridge
tenders, as if that had not already been
agreed upon. When the «ourt with
mock gravity came marching out of the
cloak room, and took their places in the
main room, without a smile upon their
countenances, but plenty of crimson
blushes, they proceeded to re-elect the
very same men wLo now fill the offices.
We doubt if a change was even con
templated, but four hours of the valua
ble time of the conrt was frittered
away, while a hundred' men stood by
waiting to have their names placed
upon the assessment. After the elec
tion of the officers referred to, there wat
a half hour left before adjournment,
during which time ten names were
placed upon the assessment, and
promptly at four o'clock the court ad
journed until 10J o'clock on Tuesday
morning next, and the crowd of disap
pointed citizens who applied for assess
ment, once more with heavy hearts re
turned to their homes, disgusted with
what is commonly called the glorious
privileges of American citizenship.
We would if we could reach the ears
of the Levy Court, and we would fore
warn the members that this state of af
fairs cannot last much longer. For
bearance may cease to be a virtue upon
the part of outraged citizens. Tyranny
in the past has been humbled, and
tyrauny in the future can as well be
humbled. Revolution gave to us the
liberties which have been the boast of
American citizens, but which are
trampled into the dust by a tyrannical
Levy Conrt in Delaware, and revolu
tion in the fu*u r e may he as potent as
in the past. We would raise no un
nee ssary alarm,
threats, but the Levy Court of New
Cap tie County might as well un

resentations made to tlie public through
the Republican an opposition, taking
definite shape, has been raised to the
enlarging of the Alms Hoase Buildings
where they have been so long located
aud whioh at no distant day will re

ther out in the country. Since the
stand taken by'tlie Republican in favor

the "Morning New*'' here oome ont
squarely on the same side which prao
tleally make a united press in far or of
the needed reform, only the "Oasette,"
being left as usual to oppose the pro
jeot. The paper waited until yester
day before expressing its eiews upon
the subject, and now that it opposes re

that the party leaders have also decided
to take a stand against removal.
The Duty or Pnhllr Officer*.
The man who is selected to fill auy
position of honor or profit, is required
to take a solemn obligation to uphold
the laws of the State and the laws ef
the United States. If he is an honor
able and conscientious man he will do
so to the best of his ability, and at the
same time will seek to promote the good
of the entire community. He will treat
Republicans and Democrats fairly who
muy require his consideration,
san motives will not warp his judgment
or influence his official actions. His
highest ambition will be to preserve his
honor ansallied, and his name untar
nished. In former times publio offloers
were actuated by noble impulses and
patriotio motives. Of late years how
ever the patriot seems to have been
supplanted by the partisan in too
many instances. The question with
too many officers no v is, how oan 1
benefit my party aud preserve its as
cendency, and not, how can I act fairly
ana honorably, and most folly promote
the interests of the community at large.
And partisans too frequently applaud
actions of a very questionable charac
ter, and encourage offiters in doing
wrong if not in committing absolute
outrages on the rights of others. Indeed
offioer3 who attempt to do their duty
fully are very apt to inour the dis
pleasure of their partisans, and be hue
tied ont of office,on the first opportuni'y
that is presented. A case of this kind
recently occurred in cur cliy, and
although the actors mav not repent or
seek to make reparation, they must ad
mit that the officer who does bis duty
faithfully in every respect, without re
gard to party considerations, is deserv
ing of approbation, while the one who
declines or neglects to discharge a
plain duty is deserving of the severest
censure. It is an old and true saying
that even those who profit by treason
generally despise the traitor, and he
who is inclined to forswear or perjure
himself would do well to remember this
fact. The officer who does his duty
faithfully and fearlessly on a : l occasions
deserves respect, while the pettifogger
who labors not to do what he professes
to desire to accomplish, will be looked
upon as a hypscrite if not a perjurer,
and he may eventually come to despise
bis own partisan meanness and lack of
principle. Those who claim to be hon
est and upright should show by their
acts that they are sincere. Fair dealing
will pay best in the end, ai 1 Presiden
tial aspirants as well as members of
bevy Court) may yet find this out.
Pretenders to virtues that they do not
possess are among the meanest of men,
and hypocrisy like other delinquencies
will eventually be properly exposed.

Tub veteran editor of the "Gazette"
took a little rnu over to New-Castle
yesterday afternoon to look at the
workings of the Levy Conrt. He saw
a large number of colored men in wait
icg to be assessed, but not belonging to
the class which the editor claimed as
only waiting for an opportunity to vote
with the white man's party, he made
mo effort to use his influence to have
their names placed on the assessment
lilits. Had they been the "Gazette's"
friends, no doubt Sheriff Pyle and his
whole posse of'deputiea would have been
called into requisition to protect the
negro in his rights. When will the
veteran editor inarch his phalanx of
Democratic negroes over to New-Castle
to get assessed ? We want to be there
when that time comes.
