HENDRICKS rOB'SHXKIFF, ISAAC GRUBB.] FOB CORONER,! DAVID C. ROSE. MAST AH> THE REPUBLICANS. The Republican party comes before the country with a great flourish of trumpets, ■ml demands the confidence of the people becausgjt has (repudiated Grant. As a mattercHact the statement is the reverse of truth. That there is a coolness existing between the President and the party which elected him is a fact. The leaders are conscious that the people should under stand that the party have thrown over board the burden which waa endangering the safety of their craft. I The movement of separation which they wish us to be lieve in, has, however, been initiated on the other side. The Republican leaders ever the abject slaves of the Presi dent. The President has kicked them again and again with all the vigor which he could command. They, however, keep close to him, clean his dirty boots, for which service even he does not thank them, receive*his contemptuous rebuff* with humility, and then ask the country to believe that they have cut loose lrom him and his transactions. Actions speak louder than woids. And by vrhat actions have the Republicans maJa good their assertions of having at last released themselves from the dornin He has insulted the party are an ion of Grant? and its leaders by every means which he Every man in office who could devise, has been instrumental in unearthing the frauds and villianies of the administra tion he has snubbed and sent about his business. Bristow is out, and his trusted agent, Yaryan. Custer is degraded, (though by his degradation exalted in the eyes of the nation) and murdered. Jewel 1 and New are sent home in disgrace. Babcock is acquitted through frauds connived at by the President. Bel knap's resignation is accepted "with regret" after he had confessed himself a thief and a swindler; Packard is sent into the South to manipulate the election with the soldiers and bayonets. Outrages innumerable not only have been, but are now being perpe trated by the President and with his au thority. And where do we find a Republican protest ? In and out of Congress the repre sentatives of the party, by their silence, acquiesce in all this wanton abuse of trust. They dare not censure the agent of the mischief, and the deed themselves they cannot denounce. In the presence of an aroused and indignant people, they now indeed make a pretense of discarding the author, but this is done only in order that they may supply his place with one who will be a more pliable instrument in their hands. With Hayes in the place ofGrant, they hope to be able to carry on to a greater extent, and with more personal profit and advantage, the system which Grant has inaugurated. Grantism,with all its deplor able and base accessories, is with Hayes to be preserved and extended, with most of the President's personal interest made over to the party leaders. The great consola tion, existing under these lamentable cir cumstances, is that the people are now thoroughly alive to the nature of the iniqui tous compact that has been made, and are determined to frustrate its consummation by the election of Samuel J. Tilden. THE CANDIDATES. The candidates before the people for the Presidency of the United States, during the next four years, are, as is well known, Bamnel J. Tilden, the Governor of New York, and Rutherford B. Hayes, the Gov ernor of Ohio. It is the duty of every cit izen to cast his vote for one of these gen tlemen, and to consider well the effect which that vote may have upon the future condition of the country. In order to do this s omething must be known of the chxr acten of the respective Candidates. Of one v*ry little need be written. Governor Tilden is known through the length and >»-*>•£<£ . aW^?7 : ? 'wA • W' - hi. i is. No one any doubt that in. whatever position trust and responsibility he may be placed* be will give a strict account of the stew ardship with which he has been intrusted. His work with the New York rings is an earnest of what he will do with the Wash- ington rings, whenelected to occupy the White House, as there is' no doubt he will be. He will purify the government, end drive out the thieves and scoundrels which now infest its every corner, as well as the larger but equally unclean animals that enjoy more openly the smiles of the chief. His success is assured i.-om the fact that he is vigoroesly opposed, without regard to party, by every man who has profited, or is willing to prefit by political perfidy and dishonesty. They know that his advent to power will be die death signal for them and their detestable practices. And they, therefore^ by the most bittei opposition to him, do all they can to elect him, and de'eat their own candidate. And who is their candidate? He has occupied some public positions. He has been a member of Congress, and is now the Governor of an influential State, has made no mark by which the people may know him. Yet he He has shown himself without sufficient character to raise bis voice in reprehen '.on of the villanies which must have been offensive to him. He has not sufficient stam'na to make a stand now in opposition to public corrup tion, and refuse (he assistance of men known to be political thieves ahd plunder He may wisli to see things better, but, however strong the desire might be, he would, if elected, be unable to insure its accomplishment, hampered as he would be by every adverse influence that could be brought to bear upon him. . He is not able or so clever as the Republican leaders through whom the various details of his Work would have to be accomplished. The Camerons, the Blaines, the Mortons, the Conklins, the Chandlers, and the Shep herds would work the machine in their manner, and we all know, by the his tory * of the past eight years, what their methods are. We are willing to believe him'an amible man, an honest man. yet in office hejs nothing, and can be nothing but the figure-bead of the party which elects him. His work would be done through the party leaders. The worst features of Grantism would remain alive and active. This the country is not prepared to permit, and has therefore unmistakably shown its preference for Samuel J. Tilden. ers. so own The Tramp Kuisanee. [From Die Smyrna Times.] Some of our people hereabouts are dis posed to hold our peach orchards responsi ble for the tramp nuisance. They seem in clined to take the tramp's word for it that he has come to pick peaches. But hun dreds of places, as guiltless of peach or chards as Delaware Is of peach profits, are suffering far more than we from this intol erable pest, Our affliction is a luxurious freedom in comparison with some of tho Western States, if we may judge from the reports we see in our exchanges. We read in one of our New York dailies that last week the little city of Bloomington, Illinois, was nearly overrun. A thousand tramps came into the place in one day, and an extra police force had to be called out to provide against any disturbances. Rock Island, an other place in the same State, had quite as great an influx, a day or two afterwards. The tramps came from Chicago, it is said. And New Englacd is quite as bad as tbe West. They rove there in droves. There fore, taking it all in all, we have come to the conclusion that our 6warm of tramps are but as the squad to the army, in com parison with other less favored localities. Our peach orchards have nothing to do with it; there is hardly a square mile of territory in any of the well-settled States that is not under the foot of the professional tramp. Bard to KiU. | From the Smyrna Times of Wednesday.] Last Saturday evening, about half past eight o'clock, a young negro man of this town, named Jim Viney, was shot iu the face by another negre, named Joe White, on Main street, opposite Col. Davis's. A crowd of negroes, most of them drunk, were quarreling, and the shooting resulted from this quarrel. White ran and there has been no effort made to arrest him since that night, it seems. He lives near tbe Hoffec ker Mills. The pistol ball entered just un der Vlney's right eye, and Dr. Swinney, hib physician, thinks part of it is back some where in his skull, but tbe man seems to he doing well, notwithstanding the supposed daDgerous character of the wound. Another part of the bullet lodged iu his cheek, the Dr. says, and was cut out, but it fell In his mouth, and when the Dr. felt in his mouth for it it was gone. The Impression is that the negro swallowed jt, whilst under the in fluence of the ether. With a pistol ball scattered around through his person in such a manner as indicated, tt would be natural to infer that the wounded man would be critically injured, but he does not seem to he. The Indications now are that he will not even loose the sight of his eye. Yet the pistol was held so close to his face as to puncture his skin with the powder. Recent* while the Indianapolis twin satwg^r.iSsft.— Kershaw at Liberty. Five or six, of the leading capitalists of Chester signed Officer Kershaw's hall bond Tuesday evening. Tbe recognizance oi ball was sent to the Prothonotary yesterday, with tbe Judge's order for the prisoner's release, a certified copy of which Was sent to Mr. Campbell, the jailor,and Officer Ker shaw was set at liberty.

After Mr. Cestin had snbmiitsd samples of Offtimd day to his, Cassia's foreman, who prenasmeed the Stotsenbnrg day the but puddling day hi had tvsr seen. ..... After Mr. Cassin got ready to do the work, he found that he could proeure clay at a lower price from the Wilmington Steam Brick Co. and asked that he bedlowedto nse it, but the committee declined to accede his request, on the ground that the erigi _1 clay used in fining the reservoir was taken lrom the immediate vidnity, a street Intervening between the two day beds, and they held that Jf the basin had to be relined, it was better to use the purest day that could be had, hence as a change would inure only to the benefit of the con tractor, and a clear loss to the city, the Water Committee held him, the contractor, to his part of the bargain. Ought the com mittee or Mr. Stotsenburg to be blamed for protecting the city's Interest? It so happens that all who were then members of the committee, still live to prove the truthfulness of the above state ment of facts. a to ills to State Notes.

A correspondent or tne Milford ''News" recommends Manlove Hayes for Congress, to be nominated by the Republicans. Reboboth camp closed Tuesday. Only thirty-five out of the sixty tents were occu pied. The hotels drew a bigger crowd than the camp. Lewes is building a fine public school house, 45x65 feet, two story high, and costing about $8,000. It is nearly com pleted^ It is proposed to run, at an early day, an excursion train from Milford to the Centen nial grounds, fate for round trip not to be more than $3.50. It is rumored around Camden that the burnt district in that town is to be built up by a gentleman of Canada, a brother of Mrs. Miller, who owned some of the prop erty destroyed. About midnight, one night last week, a lot of tramps in Middletown were discovered cooking chickens, potatoes, coffee, &c., in a vacant lot near the depot. They were soon routed. They had stolen the food. Thomas F. Hammersley has taken his po sition as Cashier bublnd the desk of Milford Branch of the Smyrna Bank. William H.

I on the Brandywine, a path was treading, When the sun his rays were shedding, Beaming, gleaming, fairly streaming through the trees. And I watched tho river glistening, As entranced 1 tnere was listening, To the melting, merry music of the breeze. 'Neath a giant tree reclining, Where no ray of Sun was shining, Lo! 1 saw a fellow being oil the ground. Though no other feature shitted, Quickly soon his eyes uplilted. Upward lifted as he wildly looked around. Good friend, said I approaching, Do not charge me with encroaching, Are you waiting for some messenger of news ? But no other words he uttered, And no other sentence muttered. Save you'll find there's none like Bab cock's Boots aDd Shoes. No misrepresentation of goods. Then I drew a little nearer, And spoke the words much clearer, I trust good sir, that you, the question wRl excuse, But he only cried the higher, With enthusiastic fire, You'll save your cash by huylng Bab cock's Boots and Shoes. Perfect satisfaction guaranteed. Why bless me, man, I shouted, As his sanity I doubted. 'Tis surely nought to me what people s goods you use. But lie,only looked the prouder. As he/poke the words the louder. There's always perfect comfort In Babcock's Boots and Shoes. The largest, cheapest and best Block in the city. Lo, I left him there reclining, Where no ray of sun was shining, And frequently I wondered at the words the man did nse, Thinking surely 'twas a mi story And that some hidden history Was weaving 'round myself and Bab * cook's Boots and Shoes. Competition defied. Lo, I then resolved to buy them, Nay, I felt compelled to try them, And forthwith went to the cor,Second and Market* no time to lose, And behold I have cause for gladness, That the words I deemed were madness, Induced me first to purchase Babcock's Boots and bhoes.
