A Grand Hally Loot Sight— AmmUm by
Chariot Beaetcn, Jr., and Mon. B. X.
Biggs.
Ar, a meeting of the Democracy, corner
of Fourth and King street*, last evening,
the Untied Cornet Band rendered excellent
music, and the meeting was addressed by
Hon Benj. T. Biggs andChas. Beasten,Jr.,
of Baltimore. The following were the
officers of the meeting: k
President, Hon. James Ponder; Tice
Presidents, Peter B. Hunsted, T. B. Merritt,
Cbas. H. Bedford, Lewis Psynter, George
H Bennett, Charles McCloskey, John Harts
man, Wm. G. Pierce, Patrick O'Donnell,
and Robert Cottlngham; Secretaries, Ed
ward B. Frazier and Wm. R. Hodgson.
The first speaker of the evening was
Mr. Charles Beasten, Jr., of Baltimore,
who made a telling speech that was fre
quently applauded. Hon. B. F. Biggs was
introduced by Ex Gov. Ponder as "the
Delaware Plough Boy." In his preliminary
remarks he said, he wanted the attention of
the wnole people as on the 7th day of
November a matter of vital Importance
was to be settled. There was something
wrong, something out of jolut, a screw
was loose, and he would endeavor
to demonstrate what was the matter
during the past fifteen years the Repub
licans had control of the Government, and
held in tbelr bands a lease of power, while
they now came forward and asked a re
newal for four years more. When the Dem
ocrats controled the Government there were
5d,000 office holders, and now they numter
over 106,000, aud they now like hungry
robins with their mouths open, are waiting
to be fed. He said that Grant in his South
Carolina proclamat ion Is attempting to con
trol the Sou'hern States by the bayonet.
A sober second thought by the people of the
count log, would endorse the ballot and not
the ba>ouet. Why are the people out ol
employment? In Wilmington there Is every
advantage; all branches of Industry. Why
is It that bouses are tenantless? Lots not
built upon? Why are capl allsts alrald to
invest their money ? W by Is It that railroad
stocks
depre. lated?
Congress have voted lor railroad
subsidies and united all Internal railroads.
The production of this country is now
greater than the consumption, and the
D mocratic party must defend labor, and
. ben t he 1 ■ borer works he should receive
an honest duller for au honest day's labor.
The Democratic party has always been and
is now a party ol bard money. The Re*
iiunlican party on the other hand had beeu
a party ol promises. Durlag the war
I to y Called it, "a war measure." *750,,
000,U00 of greenbacks Were issued,
aud they had but *166.000,000 of gold in
the Treasury. We are not. asking lor gold ;
we warn it to regulate our currency that
< very paper dollar will have a gold dollar
to redeem it. He gave as an Illustration ol
the difference between the two : a poor crip
pie soldier, a pensioner apt} a rich bond
holder; one went to war aud the other staid
*1 home. One was paid In greenbacks and
iheotneriu gold. One served his country
and the other never left bis fireside. Our
represent alive In Congress, Mr. Wil
liams, is again before you for re-election,
and as I am not a candidate for your sufifra
ees, as you having honored me twice in an
election lor Representative, I have the right
as a Delawarean to ask of you to re elect
Mr. Williams as a D-mocrat, one who will
endeavor by bis volae to counteract the
proclamation of the Secretary of War,
proclaiming the ttate of South Carolina in
a state of insurrection, attempting by such
argument to elect Hayes and Wheeler Presl
dent and Vice President of the United
States. The speaker then quoted From
Mr. Higgins' sp«cti where he spoke of the
attempts of the Republicans to establish a
color line, and said Mr. Biggs, the white
going to rule the country, and I
speak to you as one of the white men, to see
that Delawureis ruled by white men. And
if you employ a colored man pay
him every dollar you coptract to pay
him, aud treat him properly,
He then alluded to the State having been
uuder the control of the white men, and
will so coutluue. He then spoke of Missis
slppl, and quoted Irom the report of the
St.ua orial Investigating Committee, and
showed the reports of outrages to be but a
bugaboo.
He then asked if Mr. Higgins blamed the
Democratic party, with such a party as this
In power. During the remarks of the
speaker he asked where was Levi during
the war? "He, like his compatriots, were
at home. He liked his country, and
like a lover lingered when she had green
backs to finger." The speaker then dwelt
upon other Issues of the campaign, 1 ,aud con
cluded his remarks amid great applause.

It must have struck the whole commutty
before this that the "Republican" to most
chaste and elegant In the style that Its locals
are written up. Some of them would sot
only In the grammar make Lindsey Mur
ray turn over in his coffin but cause s school
boy to lay by his composition for fear that
he might some day turn out to be the same
thing. Both for execrable composition, bad
grammar and silly thought recommend us
to the man who gets up the brilliant scin'l
lattons of the columns of this paper. Be
cause a gentleman happens to be passing at
the time a fight takes place,' the "Republi
can" would lead the public to believe that
he Is a participant. Besides this we would
advise the gentleman who makes up the
fine local compositions of that paper to
pluck the beam out of his own eye, for hie

A correspond nr of the Times cnmmmif
•a ee tom.- curious facts I y way of parallel
.otlie absurd belief which hus lately seized
ti i In- ua'ives of Diusp-ire, Patna and the
ii tghhnrbond, to the effect t.Jiat "the Brl lsh
-oldlers have orders to decapitate all natives
ouuJ abroad after sunset or in secluded
places, the heads being deposited in the
vUnttilc lodges, so that by their means
nt'rldgeiice uiay be gained of poll, teal In
l iL UrS "
In Illustration of the common tendency of
ill Asiatic people to these childish rnper
-tt.ltions, the writer relates that when gas
vhs iu roduee-l someyears ago into the city
if Batavia, the natives got the idea tnto
neir heads that uuder each gas-meter two
larrels full of children's eyes were to be
.iu', a sort of ghost called a "ebotlik,"
filing abroad at night and scooping them
-tut of the children's heads; and tbe im
pression was so general that, like the na
Ivtts of Patna aud Dinaporc the Malays of
Batavia w mid not leave thpir homes after
dark. The Du'ch authorities at last lost
their patience with this folly, which "really
-dzed the Immense native population of
Batavia like a manta, and severely punished
ont or two of tbe natives who ought to
have known better, and possibly did, and
after this the nulsauce abated." The writer
adds that the universal Dame for the Ma
-onlc lodges among the Malays is "Roema
Seten," or ''devil's-houses."
Both these incidents are curiously lllus
tnative of tbe unexpected difficulties which
may epriug up In t he government of ignorant
Asia'lc populations by European rulers; and
h would be worthwhile to apply the ra
tionalist method carefully to all such super
stitions with tbe view, If possible, of die
covering their origin. Tbe gasometer
myth, indeed, seems to defy explanation by
this methed; but we are not aure that the
Patna superst ition has not arisen out of our
unguarded English habit of self-deprecia
tion. May not tbe natives, perhaps, have
overheard some discontented Anglo-Indian
declaring that "we want heads. In our Intel
ligence department." and have In their
simplicity given this hideous Interpretation
to the complain'.

According to oneof tbe oldest dog fanciers
In New York, the rarest and most valuable
dogs in that city are full-bloodhounds and
bull dogs. Deerhounds—thin, long, rough
haired dogs—are also scarce, and are worth
when full grown from *20 to *30, grey
hounds from *15 to *25. German beagles
from *15 to *20. Italian greyhounds,which
were tbe first pet dog* ladles had In this
country, were at one time worth as high ts
*10 apiece, but aow, having gone out of
fashion, sell for much less. At present tbe
greatest demand to for Gordon tetters, a
breed of dogs which comes from the ken
nels of the Duke of Gordon, In Scotland,
and when of proper color—pure black ana
tan—bring from *100 to *500. Next to
tbeai^ome the red Irish setters, which sell
for *50 apiece, and tbe English orange and
wblie, which are quoted somewhat cheaper.
Spaniels are not so fashionable as setters,
and sell at a lower figure.
The Clnmber, or laue spaniels, sell from
*25 to *50 apiece. ( ocker spaniels eome
timet brings* high as *60, and King Charles
spaulels as high as *200. Pointers are not
favorites In t his count ry, for forcers are too
tblch tor them and the brush tear* tbelr
skins, wb'ch arc not created as heavily as
the si tter* or cocksr*. The douole-nosed
or Spanish poiuters are worth all the way
up to *5oO apiece. Besides the game doge
Slberiiu bloodhounds, Pomeranian wolf
dogs, and Dane dog* are sold <u New York.
One of the latter, thlriy four inches high,
