ROBERT J. REYNOLDS, Chairman.

ular Doves, May 16, 1816. DEMOCRATIC COUNTY MEETING! In accordance with a time honored custom, of tbe Democracy of New Castle Coanty, a County Meeting will be held in tbe Conrt House in the city of Naw ON SATURDAY, MAY 21th, 1816, at 1 o'clock, p. for the purpose of appointing Jodges to bold the several nomination elections, appointing a County Executive Committee, and for the transaction of any other business that may properly be brought before tbe meeting. In view of tbe estonnding developments almost daily made by investigating committees of a Democratic House of Congress, of fraud and corruption in high places, it becomes all good citizens to attend this meeting and help effect a tborongh organisation of the great Democratic party for the ensuing campaign, so that it may effectually battle with and overcome corruption and radicalism in all its forms. The only hope of rescuing our beloved country from the control of unprincipled men, from bankruptcy and repudiation rests upon the success of the Democratic party in tbe coming contest.

Joseph Robeits, Acting Ghairman last County Meeting. Appoqalnlmiak Mr. John A. Morton, formerly of the National Hotel of this town, has become proprietor of the Arch Street House, Philadelphia. Under the management ef its late proprietor C.

W. Locke, the Aroh wee a favorite House of Delawareans. We can safely predict that it will lose none of its prestige nnder the present management. Thr closing paragraph of the proclamation of the chairman of the State Executive Committee, in which calls the State Contention, is worthy of tbe attention and earnest consideration of the Democratic voters throughout the State. "Reform" is tbe watchword of the campaign of '76, and the selection of good men, yes the best men, for all positions is imperatively demanded The primaries have long been too muoh neglected and their management left too often to a few men, who, do the best-they could, were not always able to give satiafaotory expression fo the sentiments and wishes of the people of their district.

It is earnestly hoped this year that more interest will be manifested, that the meetings will be well attended and that Chairman Reynolds' advice will be taken and that our delegations to the State Convention will be composed of some of the best and ablest men of the oounties. Appointment oi Chirp The as to Who should be Chief Justice in place of the "late lamented" C. J. Gilpin, was settled on Thursday by Governor Coohran in thp appointment of Hon. Joseph P.

Comegys to the vacancy. A strong pressure had been brought to bear upon tbe Executive in favor of Mr. Comegys soon after tbe death of Judge Gilpin, and though he wisely delayed the appointment for a time in order to give opportunity for the expression of publio sentiment, be folt it neoessary at last to yield to what seemed the popnlar will and confer the appointment on Mr. Comegys. A strong revulsion of feeling had began to be felt and had the appointment been delayed a short time longer it is more than probable that a decided expression of popular opinion would have been made in favor of Judge Tbe appointment has, however, been made, and itf doubtless a good one.

Chief Justice Comegys is a good lawyer and an upright man, and will in all probability perform his duties fairly and creditably. More than this it were unwise and unnecessary to say. Thr action of the Ohio Democrats in their State Convention on Wednesday in throwing 8enator Thurman overboard and deolaring their preference for ex-Governor Allen it means more nor less than to show to tbe New York Democracy that they have not forgotten and do not mean to forgive what they regarded as the unwarrantable interference by New York Tammany politicians in their State election in 1875. They hold that the defeat of Mr. Allen for Governor was owing in a great measure to New York money and New York influence.

They eould not reasonably expect to secure the nomination of ex-Governor Allen, bat they do expect to make a strong fight against Governor Tilden iB the St. Lonia Convention, and unless Mr. Tilden can go into the convention with a sufficient number of delegates to show on the first ballot a very strong hand his nomination will be a matter of fcerious donbt. This action of tbe Ohio Democrats has made it more than apparent that a strong fight will be made in tbe National Convention. Several candidateg, eaoh backed by an of his own friends, will be presented, none of whom will, probably, have sufficient strength to overcome his opposition and secure the nomination.

The Western States will be divided in their preferfor a candidate, but will, donbta is in or be no to in for to of ence leas, be united in their opposition to York and Governor Tilden. A compromise will then have to be made and a candidate agreed upon who can uijite in himself all the discordant elements of tbs party, and. who so well adapted for this as Senator Bayard, of Delaware? who, an acknowledged leader in tbe United States Senate, has procured such an honorable, manly, upright, patriotic, conservative course of conduct that he has gained and received the admiring plaudits of friends and foes alike. A sensational bloody-murder story comes from Louisiana. A terrible riot is said to have occurred and, as is usnal in such cases, the presence of the- military is said to be absolutely necessary to preserve order.

A great number of negroes are said to bave been how many can never be known as "precautions were taken to remove tbe dead secretly," while not a single white man was even so much as hnrt, although whole volleys were fired promiscuously into tbe whites by the hundred of whom are said to be in The reason given for all this arms dreadful affair is that some thirty negroes went to the store ef a white man, called him out and riddled him with bullets. What the reason was for this summary proceeding, or why all the negroes should flock together to protect these murderers, or why the whites should deem it necessary to kill all the negroes they could come across, is not stated. Presuming there was any troth whatever in all this staff, one would naturally inquire how it is that these things nsver occur except in eleotion years, and, moreover, why they do not occur in those Southern States where the whites have a decided predominance and have the entire control of the government Or was all this trumped up for political effect If so the eool indifference with which it has been re oeived and the small amount of credence given to it might admonish the administration outrage millers that it is time to shat np shop. The market for their grist was surfeited along ago, and wfaatmay be the 'necessities of tbe ever hour" the bloody shirt has ceased to terrify, or to create sympathy, with its wavers. Some other trick might have more success.

This one is "pla'yed out." Political Notes. The New Orleans Times claims that Mr. Bayard is the favorite of tbe South Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, is another Republican candidate for tbe Presidency. Blaine is the topmost candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency in Michigan. The Chicago Times says the "Great Unknown" was at the Centennial inauguration, but atracted no attention.

The excitement about the Centennial is almost making people forget that this is Presidential year. The York Press still flies the flag of Judge Black for tbe Presidency, and says he has no right to decline being a candidate. Harper Weekly, strangely enough, lauds Mr. Tilden and asserts that be is the only New York Democrat who represents even the hope of success. Senator Morton talks freely and hopefully about his chances of nomination at and his friends claim that he is rapidly gaining strength.

The Nevada democratic convention tes to the appointed unpledged delega St. Louis convention. Tilde ever, the first choice of the delegates and Thurman second. The convention passed anti-Chinese resolutions. en is, howMaryland Republicans profess to be "Reformers" of the purest water, yet they endorse Grant's administration.

Thefr resolution passed at the late Frederick convention, says "We endorse President Grant's administration as wise, prndent, aud patriotic, reflecting credit on the nation at home and abroad." Wise, prudent and patriotic, says the Baltimore Gazette, in the "crooked whiskey," safe burglary, tbe soldiers' grave headstone swindle, the posttraderships, the District ring, the real estate pool, and the Davenport election fund, yes, wise prudent and patriotic. "Reflecting credit on the nation at home and abroad." "Abroad" the eredit has been reflected by Mr. Schenck, who was chased to the water's edge by a British constable, and pleaded his privilege as embassador to escape enal servitude in the country to which was accredited, but has been feasted at the White House while undergoing examination by the committee. Credit was reflected "at home" by the President's friendships with low fellows at a shoddy watering-place; his iutimacies with Boss Murphy, Boss Shepherd, Dick Harrington, tbe safe burglar; MoDonald, the crooked-whiskey convict, now in the penitentiary; by his present adhesion to Schenck, Babcock, Belknap, and all the branded swindlers that have mado bis administration an offense against all this "reflects credit on the nation at home and Advocate. The bank clerks of New York city will visit the Centennial in body on the 30th inst.

The whole amount of expenses has been contributed by the mansgers of the several banks. It is understood tbo attendance will be very large. the Lothar from Waahington. Washington, May 16, 1816. GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT HANCOCK, a possible candidate for tbe Presidency, on the Democratic ticket, was a bravs and dashing officer during the war, whose magnificent presence, as he rode along the line of battle, reassured tbe most timid, and, on many an oooasion, was instrumental in plucking victory from the jaws of defeat.

Ab an army correspondent during the war, 1 bad an opportunity, on more than one battlefield, to observe his gallaDt bearing. I shall never forget, when tbe cannons volleyed and thundered at the last day's battle on Gettysburg heights, with what calmness and intrepidity Hancock held his second oorps, which stood the brunt of Lee's assaults for four long dreadful hours, up to its work. True, the Union ranks would sway and waver, and sometimes fall back before the terrific onslaughts of Lee's legioas; but, encouraged by the presence of their commanding General, who rode, sword in hand, up and down the liDe, entreating them to hurl back the enemy, tbe men invariably and regained their former position. Finally, the General received a terrible wound iu the thigh, and, pale and bleeding, was carried under a tree on the battlefield, where be established his headquarters, refusing to be taken to the rear until after the contest had been decided I saw Hancock again at Spotsylvania Court House, one foggy morning, twelve years ago, just after he bad made his famous charge in which he captured 3,000 prisoners, among whom were tbe Confederate Generals Stewart and Edward Johnson and again, afterwards, in the bloody scenes around Petersburg which formed the prelude to the surrender at Appomattox and in every instance he displayed a skill and gallantry as a commander, which won for him the admiratiou of the entire Army of the Potomac. And yet, many of those who admire Hancock most question the propriety of bis nom ination at St.

Louis, on the ground that, while his record as a soldier is untarnished, and his devotion to Democratic principles unquestioned, he has had no experience in the administration' of civil affairs to qualify him for the proper discharge sf the high and important duties of Chief Executive. A prominent Democratic representative ih Congress Baid to me, the other day, when Hancock was mentioned as a candidate, "We can't afford it, Hancock is a good man. and a strong man in many respects; but we want no more'men on The country hts had enough of Grantism to make it disgusted at the bare suggestion of the nomination Of another military man. We have enough good men like Tilden, Thurman, Bayard, Hendricks, and others, in the ranks of civil life, without going to the army for a candidate." THE PRESIDENCY. The organ of the White House Ring boldly announces that the Republicans expect to elect the next it will be impossible, on ac-iount of sectional differences, for the Democratic party to unite on any candidate who can he elected.

It asserts that the Democracy can be relied 00 to make mistakes enough to insure its It is good policy to find out wbat your enemy wants you to do, and then to do it. And this is just what the Democratic party is going to do. Iris not to be denied that mistakes have been made in the past; and it is very certain that our opponents would like to have us make more in the In 'this, however, it is safe to'assume, they are doomed to disappointment. If the spirit which animates the represenatives of tbe Democracy one me ts at Washington, and the tone of the Press throughout the country, are to be taken as indications of party sentiment, there never was more earnestness manifested, or a greater determination, to sacrifice all other considerations to success. This is especially the case with the South, which has no Presidential candidate of its own to nrge, and only asks that the nominee shall be the man who can draw the largest support from the Liberals and Independents Tilden's strength in the almost every Southern State is claimed for solely from the knowledge of bis strength in the doubtful States of the East, without whose votes neither party can elect its candidate.

Either Bayard or Hendricks would be preferred, on personal grounds, by many Southerners who are pronounced Tilden men. They argue that if we carry New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, we can succeed without Indiana and Ohio; but that, if we carry the last named States and lose New York, we shall be defeated. Liberal Republicans like General Banks, and also the Democratic members of Congress from Massachusetts, assert that Tilden would even carry that State and these assertions have had great weight with Southern men here. These are simple facts. If the assumptions are false, they should be met at once.

It will not do for the party to make a mistake and there is no doubt as to the drift of Southern opinion now. "THE OLD man" IMPATIENT Almost everybody in Washington knows and speaks of Grant as "the old man." The term originated at the White House with some of the messengers or clerks, several years ago, and now the employes there invariably refer to the President as "the old Sam Bard, "which was postmaster" at Atlanta, Georgia, who has a worldwide reputation as a newspaper starter and an inveterate tbird-termer, was wont to affectionately style GraDt "tbe old man," before the latter dispossessed him of his office. "Ah," he used to say, with a sly wink, when efforts were being made to oust him, "me and the old man are hunkydory. Why, you don't know how intimate we are I seldom go up to the White House during office hours. I always call socially in the evening, and we discuss matters over a glass of good old rye.

They can't turn me out no, indeed. Me and tbe old man are too good friends for that." Nevertheless Samuel was thrust out of official life, mainly through the exertions of Postmaster General Jewell, vyho intimated to the'President that unless he was permitted to remove him, he would retire from the Cabinet, But what I started out to say was that Grant is pining over the restraint imposed upon him by Congress, and longs to pitch his tent for the summer by the sad sea waves at Long Branch. With Shakspeare, he exclaims, having refer- ence to the continuance of the present session, "there is something too much of this." When Congress adjourned its session, two years ago this spring, his I stud of horses and other necessary to make life endurable at Long Branch bad already been shipped to the latter and, within two boors after the dose of the session, he watf en route to the saihe point by express Judging from present appearances, it be far into the summer before he will be able to inhale tbe sea breeze unless, indeed, be should take it into bis bead to carry out the principle be advocated in his late message to the House, that a President can as legally transact executive business in Sitka as in Washington. Admonished by recent events, however, he will hardly be likely to leave Washington until after Congress adjourns. A.

F. The Mustang Race Postponed. The great race of California mustangs against time, which was to have taken place on Tuesday, at Fleetwood Park, N. has been indefinitely postponed, Thirty-six horses were to have run three hundred and five miles, and were to be ridden by Francisco Peratta The announcement was made that the postponement was on account of the unfavorable weather, and would take place on the first fair day, but it was ascertained that warrants had been issued on Monday evening in the interest of the Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals, to arrest all persons aiding or abetting the race. It was the intention to arrest tbe Mexican rider, Piratta, as soon as he mounted the first horse The Ohio democrstic convention met at Cincinnati Wednesday.

Hon. Geo. Pendleton was made permanent president, and Jas. W. Newman secretary will Political Conventions.

The Ohio Democrats for Allen and Soft Money. A question of contest as to the seat of Hon. G. F. Cary, which tbe committee had settled in bis favor, created much excitement, and Mr.

Gary finally disposed of it by withdrawing his name as a delegate. The committee on resolutions made two reports The miuority report, which was presented by Mr. Morgan and represented nine of tbe twenty members of the committee was adopted by vote of 386 to 266. It favors the repeal of the resutuptiou law and tbo gradual substitution of legaltenders for national bank notes, no forced contraction, no forced inflation, but a sound currency equal to the waots of trade, to be regulated in volume and gradually equalized with gold by making it receivable for customs and incontrovertible with 3.65 government bonds, an income tax to meet at least tbe premium on gold to pay the interest on the public debt, and the making of silver a legal-tender for the payment of all debts public and private. The report closed by recommending the name of William Alleu as the choice of Ohio for the presidency, and requesting the delegates to St.

Louis to favor his nomination. Tbe report of tbe majority od the financial question favored a return to specie payments "when the same can be done without seriously disturbing the business of the country," aDd to that end demanded the repeal of the resumption act, and opposed any legislation to arbitrarily fix a day for such resumption; also declaring that the charters of the national banks ought Dot to be renewed and each should be wound up at the expiration of its term, and, iu lieu of its circulating notes, circulating notes, treasury notes of the United States, convertible into coin on demand and receivable for all debts, or taxes due to the United States, should be issued to the extent required by the necessities of the government. Both reports favored a tariff for revenue only. Tbe following were elected: Electors at Wm. Lang and Granville Stokes.

Delegates to St. H. Pendleton, William L. O'Brien, Gen. George W.

Morgan and Thomas EwiDg. NRW JERSEY. The New Jersey republican convention met at Trenton, adopted a series of resolutions embodying the usual declarations, and appointed nninstructed delegates to Cincinnati The convention wag largely composed of Blaine men. IOWA. The Iowa democratic convention met at Des Moines and appointed delegatee to the St.

Louis convention. The financial resolutions favor an early return to specie payments, but at the same time oppose a forced and sudden resumption as productive of disaster for which reason they recommend the repeal of tbe resumption act. The following were elected delegates at large to the national convention: H. H. Trimble, M.

M. Ham, O. Finch and B. F. Montgomery.

Delegates were instructed to vote as the majority of the convention should direct. ALABAMA. Tbe Alabama republican convention at Montgomery nominated Thomas Peters for Governor. A delegation was appointed with no instructions but is understood to favor Bristow. The other wing of the party holds a convention on the 24th inst.

Most of tbe federal officials adhere to it. TENNESSEE. The Tennessee republican State convention, held at Nashville, elected to the Cincinnati nominating convention fifteen delegates for Morton, seven for Bristow and two unknown. prohibition conventions. The National Prohibition Convention at Cleveland adopted resolutions reaffirming the prohibition platform of 1872, urging tbe amendment of the constitution so as to make prohibitory legislation universal and permanent, conclusion of treaties with foreign powers to prevent importation of liquors, abolition of class legislation, reduction of rates of postage, telegraphs, transportation and travel, suppression of gambling, abolition of polygamy and the social evil, national observance of the Sabbath, compulsory education, use of the Bible in the public schools, complete separation of church aDd state, paper currency redeemable iu coin.

The convention nominated for President General Green Clay Smith, who accepted without hesitation in a short speech. G. T. Stewart, of Ohio was nominated for Vice-President, and the convention adjourned sine die. GREEBACKS.

The national greenback convention at Indianapolis, effected a permanent organization, with Thomas J. Durant, of Washington, D. chairman. Nineteen States are represented by 239 delegates. The first office is said to be between Peter Cooper and Judge Davis, and Senator Booth is talked of for the second place.

New York Fashion Letter. Nsw York, May 13. i BONNETS. fy- The rank assigned to a young lady in tbe scale of fashion is at present in proportion to the distance between tbe end of her nose and her new spring bonnet the honors accorded her increasing rapidly as she nears the last round's on the ladder of ambition, and she whose hat hangs on in an absolutely impossible way, is regarded with the same sort of admiration by her feminine compeers as the acrobat who performs superhuman feats of agility. Other acrobats of inferior degree are ady to break their necks in imitation and other young ladies buy hand glasses and stand before looking glasses, where with saintlike patience they spend hours in imitating the wonderful performances they hare seen Wbat the human mind, when strongly bent in one.direction, may accomplish, is wonderful indeed, and thus it comes to pass, as result of such determined competition, that hats do hang on in a very wonderful sort of way, and were I a spiritualist, I would have I no doubt that unearthly hands held them in their place, since of earthly power I beheld none, unless it be a "hat pin," which, provided expressly for the needs of the hour, is made long enough tobe run through and through, and fasten it to the coil.

Yet even such an ingenious contrivance appears to me insufficient to account for hat I see, and therefore I resign myself, if not to admiration, yet to wondering amazement. Why such very pretty hats should be removed so far out of sight, is a mystery likewise, for charming they really IVORY TINTED CHIPS are trimmed with softly woven silks in faint, yellow shades, and finished with delicate flowers, which in graceful sprays or rich moutures almost cover the outside. Ornamentation of all kinds is lavishly employed, but both fabrics and flowers are so refined that tbe effect produced are of similar character. Very light tints prevail, although pale yellow shades come first, yet we see beautiful bonnets in pure white, or trimmed with faint blue, pink or lilac. Very dark brown is constantly used as an effective contrast, and the brilliant Cardinal red is as fashionable as it has ever been.

Constrasts between very dark and very light blues is indeed an idea of the time, and as dark colors are placed as points of effect on hats in which very light colors prevail, so on the other hand, we observed dark straws lightened with pale silks and delicately tinted flowers, and white or creamy blossoms are united with sombre foliage. COSTUMES. The ideas of that class of individuals who devise spring costumes seem affected by a strange perversity. Thus in order to be stylish, one must wear garments which seem twisted out of their proper plaee. roust be different from the other side; if one side is long, the other should be short if one hangs straight, the other must be rounded off; and, to sum np tbe whole matter, everything must be crocked, twisted, and pulled out of place.

One circumstance saves us from absolute confusion, and that is tbe necessity for the wearing of wash fabrics during the summer season. They must be "done up," therefore they must be comparatively simple, yet even here we find many crooked ideas, and where an overskirt per se may be of equal proportion, the trimming is often placed in such a way as to produce an effect of disproportion. Polonaises are worn, yet basques and overskirts are in tbe ascendancy, and even in wash materials have obtained the preference. I have said that WASH FABRICS save us from absolute confusion so Also do some rich materials. Thus do extremes meet, and while we find comparative simplicity in suits of linen, percale, lawn and pique, we also observe some few rich dresses which hang in lengthened folds of the princesse style.

These various drapings are, without exception, more or less bouffant at the back, and in support of tbe same crinoline, though happily in moderated form, appears almost a necessity. Inconvenient as it is, it most be borne, but the way in which women reconcile themselves to whatever may be put upon them is certainly more than bnman. I beard a woman the other day, an usually sensible woman, she "really didn't feel right without her bustle," but in the next breath she added, "It's all very well as long as you are standing up." She undoubtedly, bas learned the "curiosities of compromise." OUT-DOOR GARMENTS seem in transition state of some of the ideas of the jacket which is now almost a thing of tbe past, aDd also of tbe long sacques and wraps of the winter season. The greater number are comparatively short at the back, with "shadow" front that is, fronts coming down long ih tbe mantilla style; then we have the genuine man tills shapes, circular garments, and Dplmans iu infinite variety. Ail may be either en suite with the costume, or of independent garments, are in cashmere, Sicilienne or silk.

Long circulars of plaid caiuel'8 hair cloth of light quality are in favor as undress wraps, and are certainly very convenient during this season of uncertainly and change. One side THE FOUB SEASONS. All these styles and materials as well as almost every other, connected with modes, are found well described and. illustrated in Ehrich's Fashion Quarterly. This periodical which, as its name indicates, is issued four times a year, once for each season is a large and beautiful illustrated magazine of fiftytwo pages, giving numerous illustrations and accurate descriptions of goods and garments with lowest New York prices and is a perfect mine of information to ladies living out of New York.

How these four members, comprising over two hundred pages of illustrated fashion articled can be furnished to subscribers at twenty-five cents a year is a mystery bat that is the price. I would advise any of your lady readers who desire further information on these points to take it and see for themselves. The publishers, Messrs. Ehrich have the best facilities for making such a magazine interesting and reliable, being the proprietors of the great dry oods establishment bearing their name on Eighth avenue, one of tbe finest of its character in the world. Ou the 10th instant, they bad a brilliant Centennial opening which was as attractive within its limits as the big one on tbe Schuylkill.

On this occasion every lady visitor was presented with a beautiful souvenir of tbe occasion. For men not far advanced in life to bave taken an acknowledged position among our dry goods Kings is remarkable, but is no less a fixed fact. Madams Radix.
