THE Fit ONT STREET NUISANCE.
Something for the Mayor's Notice.
The residents and store keepeis of Front
street are beginning to complain numerously
to the city authorities, of a nuisance on that
street, which was mentioned in The Heu
ald of yesterday. Those who create the
disturbances were mentioned as tramps.
This, Captain Buckingham, who conducts
business at the corner of Front and Shipley
streets, states is not so; that while there are
tramps among ttfbrn, the rulers are Wil
mington roughs who live in that section of
the cityXleader of whom is called "Reedy,"
and a notorious character.
During the day it is bad enough, the resi
dents say, to have them about swearing and
drinking, but at nights it is much worse,
when the numbers are re-enforced by young
prostitutes, who are neither modest in their
behavior or strictly moral in their language,
a particular exhibition of which is made
when persons are passing. These poor
creatures are said to come from the different
places of prostitution in this street, and are
many of them young, hardly past their
eighteenth year, sent out to entice these men
into their hovels, and others too, that are
less depraved, as has already been instanced
by the robbing of an old gentleman of con
siderable money in one of these places sev
eral nights since.
On Thursday night the police made their
appearance, and observed a strict watch in
that quarter of the city which had a very
wholesome effect, as the presence of the
roughest of these characters were not to be
seen yesterday. At the corner of Front and
Shipley streets, a cheap eating house is kept
and this is where the most of them take
their meals being accommodated at ex
tremely low figures. It was here on Thurs
day night that a former member of the
School Board from the First Ward entered
for supper, and after partaking declared
that he had no money. The proprietor in
sisted that he shonid pay; whereupon the
ex-member of the School Board adjourned
to the street and proposed selling the build
ing with a lotof loose bricks, but was put to
flight by the pioprietor who made his ap
pearance armed with a club. The residents
of Front and Shipley streets state that such
scenes are of frequent occurrence and it is
hoped that the Mayor will have special of
ficers detailed for that quarter of the city,
is he does not they will be overrun with
tramps and roughs.

They marched him into the station house,
yesterday afternoon, propelled by ^ police
man on each 6ide, and one in the rear. He
looked weary and footsore; he didn't seem
to care whether he stood up or laid down,
but the preference seemed to be greatly Id
favor of reclining. "Come, sir," said the
chief, "what's happened to youi" "Been
to the zen—ten—uial—great—est e—vent of
any world on top of (hie) the earth."
"Search the prisoner," said the chief, "see
if he has money?" The officer went down
iuto a capacious pocket in the side of the
man's coat until nothing was seen of him
but his legs and the tip end of a coat tail.
Finally, he emerged, with something black,
aud the chief reached for the supposed lu
but to his astonishment It was a black
bottle and held about a quart. Out of the
6ame pocket came a shaving brush and a
shoe brush. But of money there was none.
He was shown the Inner chamber and two
minutes afterward there were heard deep
sonorous tones that told the hero of the
bottle and brushes didn't care a cent.

To the Citizens of Wilmington.
The Fall and Winter are approaching,and
therefore, individuals will have to prepare
for the season, as it is usual for people to
shop before they go to purchase. Remem
ber that V. E. Holmes opened business
three years; the house is known as the Bos
ton One Price Clothing store. Mr. Holmes,
by his attention to business, has been forced
to enlarge his present store very much. He
is now about to remove to the new building
of Dr. Tantum, which has an entrance on
both Market and Shipley streets, and will be
the finest house of its kind ever before
opened in this city. Mr. Holmes deserves
every encouragement for his enterprising
spirit; the fact of there being such an estab
lishment, will induce the people to leave
the money here, not to Spend it in other
cities. We say, buy here and encourage
home enterprise. Mr. Holmes will remove
about the 20th of the month.

Dwelling Burned,
[From the Milford News.]
The dwelling occupied by J. Hews, on the
old Dr. H. Whiteley farm, at Whiteleysburg
was burned on Sunday morning last. Mr.
Hews and wife left home on that morning
about 8 o'clock, and about 9 o'clock the fire
was discovered in the unoccupied west end
of the buildings, where no fire had been
used, the buildings being the same that old
Dr. Whiteley had lived in, and were larger
than necessary for the tenant. The neigh
bors discovered the fire, and got there in
time to save the most of the furniture, but
the large bulldtogs were a total loss, whieli
falls on Mr. Benjamin Whiteley, of Balti
more. Suspicion points to a colored girl,
who was living with Mr. Hews and was left
in charge of the place, haying set fire to
the building cither by accident or design

A WHITE MAN'S GOVERNMENT.
Resolutions of the State Democratic Con*
vention—The Topics of the Campaign
Discussed.
The Committee on Resolution of the State
Democratic Convention, held at Dover on
Thursday, offered the following resolutions,
which were adopted.
The.Democracy of Delaware, represented
by the delegates in this Convention,reaffirm
the attachment of the party to the princi
rles of republican government. Established
iy the men who framed the Federal Consti
tution, and insist that only by a faithful ob
servance of those principles can the just
powers of the General and State Govern
ments be maintained and the rights of all
the people be assured.
1. Resolved, That all attempts on the part
of the Executive Department of the Federal
Government to interfere with elect tens in the
States is a usurpation of power, subversive
of the rights of the States and the liberties
or the people. We therefore denounce the
recent military order of the Secretary of
War directing the General of the Army to
distribute soldiers in the Southern States as
indicative of a purpose on the part of the
Administration and its supporters to pre
vent if possible, a fair and free exercises of
the elective franchises la those States.
2. Resolved, That the late circular of the
Attorney General of the United States to
the United States Marshals is an attempt to
usurp the authority of the governments of
the States and to place the control of the
elections in the hands of unscrupulous
United States Marshals, and thereby to
force the election of a Republican Executive
against the will of the people.
3. Resolved, That the extravagant and
wasteful expenditure of the public money
siuee the termination of the war has entail
ed oppressive taxation and brought financial
distress upon the country, and demaud, no
less than the corruptions that have existed
under Republican rule, a change in the
management of public affairs.
4. Resolved, That we charge that much
of tlie embarrassment under which the bus
iness and industries of the country are suffer
ing is attributable to the exhaustive drain
of federal taxation upon the resources
of the people, and that much of the money
extorted by taxation from the people of the
country has been squandered in political
jobs and not appropriated to advance the
interest of the country.
5. Resolved, That the administration of
President Grant has been marked by a dis
regard and contempt for constitutional and
legal obligations and the rights and inter
ests of the people. That the prolongation
of Republican rule would be a continuation
of the oppression, corruption and extrava
gance which have existed for the last eleven
years,
0, Resolved, That the true interest of the
American people demand a change in the
the administration of public affairs, which
can only be effected by a defeat of the party
controling the government. That the elec
tion of Mr. Hayes, influenced as he would
be by the men wbo have surrounded Presi
dent Grant and shaped hi6 administration,
would fail to secure purity or economy
in the administration of the government.
7. Resolved, That in the candidates for
President and Vice President, nominated by
the National Democratic Convention at 8t.
Louis, and the platform of principles enun
ciated by said convention, as well as the let
ters of acceptance both of Mr. Tilden and
Mr. Hendricks, we have the assurance,
pledge and guarantee that the success of the
Democratic party in the present canvass,
will insure reform in the civil service of the
country, purity in the administration of the
government, economy in the expenditures of
the public money, reduction in taxation,
prosperity to the country, and happiness to
the people of every section of our common
country.

that he had never entertained any other
thought than the one that he was right,and
this he meant to defend by remaining in
New Castle county, no matter at what risk
of personal safety it might be. He further
stated that at the solicitation of Mrs.Dowaey
and her daughter, he had concluded
not to remain at home during the night.
This was to prevent a repetition of the at
tack on the house, which was made not
long since, more for the safety of the lady
occupants than for himself, as his own
safety was a matter of very little concern to
