HR. HATES RESIGNS.
Mr. Hayeathen arose, and after referring
to his proposed resignation, stated that he
wanted to place himself right before this
community. It had been his effort, during
the three years and more he had been In
the council, to do that which was economi
cal and Juit. He bad erred, perhaps, bat
if he had, it bad been unintentional. He
bad tried to do right, as far as he knew.
Tbe Democratic party had come Into
power on the issue of eeoneniy, but a suffi
cient vote had been gathered from both
sides of this chamber to defeat every meas
ure of economy.
When tbe party came in power, there was
a floating debt of something over <12,000;'
There had sinse been collected <159,605 84,
and notes discounted for <80,000. All this
had been expended, and the floating debt
of the city to-day is <105,191 40.
Mr. Paynter;—Will the gectleman please
state the condition ot the city's finances air
the same period last year as the present to
which be refers now, I think It would be
fairer. The taxes bad just been paid when
tbe Democratic party came In power, and
the condition or she finances of the city at
that time wae much bettor, apparently and
naturally, than at - any other time.
Mr.Hayes stated that he had not tba fig
ures at hand, and of course could not give
them.
Mr. McIntyre wanted to know If Mr.
Hayes did not know that at this time last
year, the floating debt of the city was <120,
000, and now is but <80,000. Mr. Mclntlre
claimed that Mr. Hayes wanted to rule or
ruin.
Mr, Hayes.—I dont Intend to be ruled
to ruin, and that 1* why I am about to
present my resignation. I have been damn
ably reviled In connection with my office
as city connefimau, which I think came
with lllgraee from certain gentlemen. ' ; '
Mr. Hayes then presented bis written ree

Total, It.
Messrs. Paynter, Febiger, and Taylof
were constituted a committee to examine
into Mr. Pyie's eligibility to the office of

Mr. Pyle was eligible, and he was sworn in

An order for <100 33 was ordered to be
drawn in favor of James P. Hays, late
member of Council, for services as council
man, dmlrumn the Finance Committee
and Water Committee.
Mr. Mctntlre presented a series of ordi
nances as follows, which wereob motion

clerk of the Registry Bureau, who shall be
elected by Council on its first meeting in

the city officers, equalizing them.
An ordinance to amend, the ordinance
concerning the markets, changing the salary
of the clerk of the market.
Mr. Mdntlre stated that the object of
these ordinances was to equalize salaries of
clerks and to increase the salaries of the
auditor and clerk of the. market, and the
Chief Engineer of tho Water Department.
He stated that ths'ordinancea, if adopted,
would not entail any additional expense on
the city, probably would eut down the pre-i
sent amount paid, and moved that fifty
copies of each ordinance be printed, but
upon objection withdrew .the motion.

OBITUARY.
Dr. X. B, Porter.
Yesterday morning, shortly after eleven
o'clock, Dr. Robert R. Porter, was stricken
down by apoplexy; at hi* residence on
French atreet above Seventh, and died ih a
very few minutes. The Doctor wa* as well
as usual early In the morning, hut com*
S lalned of being sick after a somewhat late
reakfaet, and had
few momenta, when the attack eame on.
Two fellow' physicians, Drs. Kane and
Draper, were called in, but he only lived a
few seconds after their arrival. Th£ do*
ceased was oat on Thursday, looking quit*
well, which made bis sudden death all the
more surprising to all of his acquaintances,
the rnmer of the fact not being credited for
a long time. Dr. Porter was a native of
this city, having been born here in Septem
ber, 1811, and at the time of hi* daath wa*
nearly sixty-five yeara old. Hie ancestry
dates back to an early period ia the history
of this 8tate, audit is pretty certain that
Peter Brunborg, an old Swedish settler, was
bia grandfather, a daughter of Brunborg
having been married to Rdbbft Porter, the
father of ike subject bf this sketch, whe
wa* at one tithe the editor of the Btlawart
State Journal, seme few month* since dit
continued.
Dr. Porter wa* educated at one of our
northern claasieal instlntions, and went
to Philadelphia, when but twenty-one,
to study medicine, at the Jefferson Medical
College,' and grEducated with an excellent
record, at twenty-three. For some time he
practiced in the Quaker City, and was at
one tiihe a physician in the Friends' Insane
Asylum at Frankfort, Pennsylvania. Three
yeara after having graduated, when he
wa* twenty-eix yeare of age, he came to
this city, and opened an office, an-1 re
mained up to the time of hie death one of
the most prominent physician* in the city.
For some years he bad retired from prac
ticing, and has been in feeble health. His
practice wae a lucrative one, and he has
alway* stood high in the estimation of the
profession. He was elected President of the
State Medical Society upon more than one
occasion, and has represented that society
in the National Medical Association, and
was, we believe, at one time Its Vica-Presl
dent.
Dr. Porter has not been very active In
politics, although he w*e a member of the
Council at the time J. Morton Pool wae in
that body. He was re-elected to Council
at the expiration of hit first term, bnt
did not, we believe, 1 serve any longer.
He married a daughter of the late Judge
Hall thirty years ago, and had five
children, all of whom are yet alive.
He was an aetive member of the His
torical Society, and was a Presbyterian.
The Doctor was universally respected
roughout the city, and hla sadden death
will cause universal regret. The funeral
will take place on Monday morning at
half-past ten o'clock, of which due an
nouncement will be made.
The members of the Historical Society
are requested to meet at their rooms this
afternoon.

MASTER SERVICES.
The Observation of Holy Week in ear City
—Service* at the Episcopal and Catholic
Churches To-morrow.
Episcopal Churches in
thin city are now and nave been observing
the Impressive solemnities of Holy Week, a
season which in the former church is mark
ed with imposing ceremonies.
At St. Peter's on Wednesday, Thursday,
and yesterday, the holy office of Tcnebrse
was chanted by a large number of clergy
men and choristers.
It Is called the Office of the Tenebrte from
that Latin word which signifies darkness,
for, toward the and of the chanting all the
lights used are extinguished, both to ex
press the deepest mourning and in memory
of the darkness which covered the whole
earth at our Lord's crucifixion. The noise
which is made by the clergy at the end of
the office, by beating a little the desks or
books, and the ground with the hands and
feet, represents the earthquake and the
splitting of the rocks in the convulsive
agonies which even inanimate nature felt
at the death of the Son of God.
The ceremony proper may be described
as follows:
In the triangular candlestick, placed on
the left ot epistle side of the high altar, are
set fifteen candles, seven on each side and
one on the top. The eattdleS on each side
are put out, one after every Psalm, begin
ning from the lowest towards the Gospel
side, then on the opposite. After these
fourteen; the white candle on the top being
left burning While the Stmdietut is sang,
the six candles on the altar are put out, one
after each verse. At the beginning of the
verse, after the Smedictue, the white can
dle la taken down from the top of the trl
angular candlestick and hid under the altar,
whilst the Mleerm Psalm and prayer are
recited) after which it la brought out again.
The candles to he Used are not to be white,
or be made of'blanched wax, blit of com
mon or yellow wax aa the ancient Roman
"Ceremonial of Bishops" prescrlpes; be
cause such are used by the Church in times
of penance or mourning whenever she
makes use of purple or black ornaments.
But the candle placed on top of the triangu
lar candlestick is in most dioceses white,
because It represents Christ Himself. This
number of candles, and the manner of
placing them and gradually extinguishing
them, Is a very ancient rite, and occurs In
a manuscript copy of the old "Roman
Order" (of the divine office) of the seventh
century, published by MabUllon.
The usual holy week services have been
held at the other Catholic and Episcopal
churches.
To-morrow being Eastes Sunday, the ex
ercises at the church will be of a more elab
orate character than usual. All the Epis
copal and Cathpiic churches have been
decorated, and preparations made for the
celebration of the day.
We have only space to present the pro
gramme .in two of the representative
churches of the city, of either denomina
tion, from which oar readers may gain
an idsa of the order of exercises in each.
As beretofere the Choif of Trinity chapel
haVS prepared music Of a high order of ex
cellence for the Easter festival, and they
will undoubtedly render it In snch a man
ner aa to delight the lovers of classical
church music. We understand that their
selection* on this odCHSion are chiefly from
Dr. Tuekerman, and in addition, anthems
fropa Bra. Elvey and Allen.
The bouts of service are, at half past six
o'clock, an early fcelebratfon of tho Holy
Communion, at half past tan o'clock the
full festival ritual of the Episcopal church.
In the afternoon there will bo carol sing
ing, folowed by the evening prayer and the
administration of baptism'; and in the even
ing a spebial service at which some of the
morning music will be repeated.
The programme of music, is as follows:
Opening Anthem, . . Allen.

[From our Special Correspondent.]
Newport, Del., April 14.
We think this town is Improving as fast
as any in the State. In the last four years,
since the erection of Marshall A Co's, rol
ling mill, a great many new buildings have
been erected. The Episcopalians have fin
ished a handsome little ehapel, and the
spirit of improvement seems to be In the as
cendancy.
The town election was held on Saturday
last, and resulted In the choice of the fol
lowing officers, who will be recognized as
wide-awake, thoroughgoing business meb,
and who will always keep tho Interests of
the town In view:
Alderman—Joseph Eillgore.
Assessor—Dr. Alex. Irons.
Treasurer—S. W. Johnson.
Commissioners—Joseph W. H. Watson,
Lewis Welden, J. W. Snltcher, John A.
Crouston, Thos. J. Hanna. The last named
gentleman was elected in place of Robt. C.
Justia.
Armstrong Lodge, A. Y. M., of this
place, has since its organization been
meeting in the top story of the old stone
house near the Christiana bridge, but the
members have awakened to the necessity of
procuring a hall larger and more conveni
ently located. They have accordingly been
collecting subscriptions for the purpose of
erecting a building that will be an orna
ment to the town. Thus far they have
over <4500 subscribed, and expect before
long to have enough to commence opera
tions.
Mr. John Simpson, Jr., has opened a new
blacksmith shop in our midst, and we are
pleased to see that he is liberally patron
ized.

On Monday evening, this celebrated
troupe of negro minstrels will appear (U
the Grand Opera House, and give one of
their excellent performances, which, if any
thing like that previously given* by them,
will certainly be worthy of a visit from all.
Their programmes are always selected
with care, and acted with a faithfulness
that is at once true to that which it is giv

On next Tuesday and Wednesday even

presented to the people of Wilmington In

rior to the usual run of theatricals as to
command extraordinary attention. In
Philadelphia, it was presented daily, to
crowded bouses, at the Walnut Street The
atre, for over two months, with a grand
success. In New York It had a longer and
more successful career than even in Phila
delphia. In London It created a terrible
furore ; and, being Iranslalcd into French,
set Paris fairly wild. Ii. has been produced

The Bout Cattle Election.
A correspondent reviews the result as fol
lows :
Of course there are' those who criticise
i.be result—first, because Republicans were
elected; aud, secondly, because a man who
is ineligible on accouiit of short residence—
two years being required—is elected. It
lias been remarked, however, that these
objections come chiefly fl'om those who
either formed or supported a ticket, made
In secret, lust year, upon which were two
Republicant and two persons who were in
eligible lor the same reason that Mr.
Hoopes is. Mr. Vollum, a sojourner, who,
being discharged from his clerkship with
the Foster's soon after the election, Imme
diately left the .State, was both a Republt
(havlng been a member of the conven
tion that nominated Dr. Jump)and ineligi
ble; yet he participated with Democrat* in
the private meeting that nominated himself
and another Rcpnbllcan for Council. And
Mr. Holcomb, who was elected, Is not now,
at the expiration of his term, eligible under
the charter, for he has lived in the city only
since. But In I act there it not a man In New
Cattle eligible to office under the charter.
It is only a little over a year since the Leg
islature passed the charter, and no man has
resided in the city of New Castle two years.
The precedent of making our municipal
elections non-partisan was made by the
" leaders" of both parties last year. If It Is
wrong, who Is to blame ?
To-day.
To-day wo display to the public a large
beautiful collection of flue and
medium grade ciething, which we poai
tlvely claim to excel any stock in the city
in point of workmanship, fit, durability,
lowness of prices. Our etsabliahment is
known to do nothing unfair In any case,
which has gained for us so much custom
that we must truthfully confess our busi
ness Is large, which always gives the cus
tomer the advantage of buying fresh goods.
It ia always understood without any distinct
agreement that if articles fail to please they
can at any time be returned. Polite atten
