PauL RALLY AT SMALL GLOUCESTER. The 'Republican Voters Turn Out En Masse.

Special to The Cockier. A large aiid enthusiastic Republican demonstration of colored voters took place last evening at "Small Gloucester" in the vicinity of Swedesboro. The meeting was largely interspersed with whites, who had come for miles around to listen to an address by the silver-tongued orator of Virginia, George Arnold, formerly a slave, though pf white parentage on one side. Every conceivable spot was taken np long before the meeting was. organized, which was "perfected by selecting, J.

W. Mays, of Camden, as President, and Moses White, as The president the meeting to order promptly 8 o'clock, and in a neat and ap-' propriate speech, explaining the issues and duty of the hour, introduced A. C. Stevens, of Camden, who made an earnest appeal to his-colored brethren not to be deceived "by ouTsido" issues, and stand by their guns to fleet Hon. George M.

Robeson. The president then introduced the orator pf the evening, George M. Arnold, who held his audience spell-bound for one hour and a half, depicting the trials and forbearances of his race in the South, and how they were defended and disfrancliised by the Southern Democracy the system of tissue ballots which was thoroughly explained, drawing, a picture of light and shadow that would hava.dona. to any artist, saying that he had been deputized by his brethren in the South to come here and appeal to the sympathies of their brethren of the North to aid thein in their cause. When the question was put, whether they would submit to such injustice by selling themselves for a consideration to the Democratic Large Republican Assembly in the New Jersey Building.

A large and enthusiastic andience greeted the Hon.JJeorge M. Robesrjn jn the historic New Jersey building at Haddonfield last evening. John H. Lippincott called the meeting to order and Isaac W. Nicholson named the following officers, who were unanimously chosen President Henry D.

Moore. Vice Presidents Jesse E. Peyton, Samuel Griscom, Paul A. J)avis, George L. Higgins, Secretaries-r-Henry Charman, Thomas Harisson.

Mr. Moorej jipori taking the chair, made a well-timed speecht.and introduced Mr. Robeson, who spoke for more "than two hours. His re marks were attentively listened to, and fre quently applauded. Clayton Stafford, the Republican candidate for Assembly in the Third district, was.

also present, General Robeson called the particular, attention of his audience to the necessity of extra exertion for the Assembly ticket, and stated the votes in one of the, Mercer countv districts elected a Democratic Assemblyman in 1876, and seated John McPherson, a Democrat, in the United States Senate for six years. TAKEN FROM THE SISTERSi The Conditions Under Which a Si-Year- ad-Ch-l Inherlta a Fortune. Leavenworth, Nov. 1 The habeas corpus case before Judge Brewer of the Supreme Court, in which the grandparents in England of Emily C. Evans, six years old and an.

heiress, claim th'e right to take her from thg care of the Sisters of the Asylum of St. Vincent de Paul dying motheiy and restore her to her English home, was decided yesterday in favor of the petitioners. MhEenlon, attorney forthe Sisters, argued that the -dying iaother-ve- 4hefhild te.the care of the asylum, and that her last wish shouldhelaw. Judge Ide, counsel for the petitioners, ta remaw4 here and be educatea in the Roman Catholic faith, would lose an inheritance of great mag nitude, as its grandfather's will stipulates that it shall be educated in the Protestahtfaith, and shall marry a Protestant. Judge Brewer, in his opinion, said that the child, being given Jo its grandparents, would, not only inherit a fortune, but would have the influences of a natural home around it, while hern it would be subject the rigid rnlpg of an institution, which, however good," were not like those of home, Mr, Hippie Hall, of London, "agent for the grandparents, is here, and will leave with the child for England next week.

The child is a pretty blonde and very intelligent. Her inter- itance consists of an annuity of $1,600 until her majority, after which she will become, sole owner of a amount 'of city property in Loudon which her --grandfather amassed as a boot and shoe manufacturer. The scene when the sters parted with her was affecting. The Recent Accident in Philadelphia. The building which J.

C. Rogers, of this city, was erecting at Eighth and Noble streets, Philadelphia, and which fell down on Monday lasT," "Eas been the subject of much inquiry as to who. was responsible for the accident. Mr, Rogers stated that the Building Inspector, Mr. Hancock, had pronounced the walls safe, and when Mr.

Hancock heard this he replied that walls were safe, but that the accident hatf probable from the lowering of floor, which fact, Mr. Rogers should have com municated to the inspector. In not doing this he violated the law. Col. Scovel's.

Justice Parker opened the Supreme Court this morning. The jury in the case of Samuel Larzelere against Franklin is still out. In the case of the contributors to tlie Pennsylvania Hospital against Charles Shinn for 1752.33, due for support of a child, there was no defense.

Strange Kidnapping Case. Lost Nov. L'-Henry Sonberg and Henry Tison, -who are charged with kidnapping the two children of John Kolb, a hotel proprie- tor, have been remanded to jail to await trial. Eolb's hotel adjoins the Continental Hotel, kept by George Mangold. There is a long-standing feud between the two men, Kolb having been at one-time-proprietor of the Continental.

1 The children are aged respectively 1 and 4 years, and were missed just before noon. Mr. Kolb and his wife were almost distracted, and while a description of the missing children was tele--" graphed to various points, the people of the town instituted a thorough search.

Suggestive Facts ForWorkingmen Who are Asked to Support the Little.

"I Am" For Congress. Special Correspondence Courier. The Democratic party not being able to meet the Republicans on the stump and discuss in a fafr, candid and open way the great questions of the tour have turned to mud throwing and base inuendoes regarding the character of our present Congressman as the only mode of reply to the facts that have so ably demon strated by him and other leaders of the Repub lican party. But they have always failed to substantiate any charge they have made. Their cry is the echo ol the Rebel brigadiers' yell that he has 60 often heard before.

While they are indulging in this sort nfmnaifl thy should, however, look carefully at the Democratic aspi rant for Congressional honors, as we shall show him to be' far from the "consistent" meraLer of the M. E. Church that some of his supporters claim. We think herd that his head is completely turned by politics, and that he has got the "Big Injin, Me" idea, and got it lie thinks thatTjecanae "the'Republicana sent him to Trent in they will also send him to Washington; but he never made a bigger mistake in his life. The circumstanoes are totally 'different aiid thefelJ at "Stake-now trust to a man with.

Democratic training and instincts. Glassblowers here, by the score who voted for him when he was elected Senator will vote for "Roby" next week, and nobody knows this better than Ferrell himself. The glassblowers here are almost solid for. Roby; in faet fuff-ti fit Republican delegates from this township were glassblowers, and Robeson men to the backbone. Ferrell has worked hard as the president of the Glassblowers League to advanoe his personal and Democratic-' interests with the blowers, but his efforts have fall -n.

fiat, and about the only blower here who inter- ests himself for Ferrell is a disappointed can didate- cr-the-As9enibly-ea-4he--RepubliflB- ticket, but he is a man of no influence or in telligence. Ferrell used him in his his efforts to organize negro Knights of Labor lodges in Woodbrtry. 'This has cost Ferrell many Irish votes. Very little of McPherson's money was used here last year because Fmcll claimed to own the This year if he should spend all of Senator Mac's $20,000 here he conld not -carry a township, aud my prediction a loss for him in this township next week of at least two hundred votes. We hear that the Democratic stifl-hunt is to be abandoned.

You are doubtless aware that one of the reasons why the Democrats adopted this still-hunt was because Ferrell was playing a -two-faced game; while he is the straight and regular Democratic nominee he claims here and in all Republican localities that he is not a Democrat--he is only a "workingman," a "labor reformer," but when he' goes to Franklin township and other Democratic strongholds where they don't read the papers and still vote for Andrew Jack son, he is one straightest of straight Demo-crate. This- -shows that he has learned something of politics at Trenton. dont think he draws near as much water as he did his first year at Trenton. Ferrell is a pretty good fel low (to stay at home) but as we remarked be fore, it don't do to call him a "consistent' church member, as he has fallen from grace so as to go astray willingly and wilfully as we propose to show by inquiring cf him through your columns: First. What he did with the $3,000 that was given him at Woodbury the day before his last The-draft-waa-eashod at tho First National Bank of Woodbury (see their book) and was sent from the State Democratic Head quarters at did this buy and did he not ride the county the day and night previous to his election and pay but this money for the purpose, of buying votes, and no other? does, hi church and a back seat at the theatre? (A dozen of our citizens here have seen him do both, and he dare not deny it.) Third.

Why did he lie to Judge Carter about the Gloucester county judgeship and promise it to him and then work for Jones appoint- met? Ask Judge who is a consistent and honorable Democrat, his opinion of Fer rell? Fourth. Why does he profess Temperance principles here, and at Trenton furnish free rum to some of his constituents, treating as many as ten persons at the bar of the Trenton House at one time (Mr. Mayhew, of Clay ton, was one of the ten.) Fif is he only a ''Labor-reformer" in GiassborbTand jUst a "straTgTitDeinocraV or either, or both as seems to best suit his in terests Sixth. If he professes to be "consistent" in religion aud is in reality a hypocrite, what will he be in politics? These are questions that have troubled some of us here for a long time, and wo would like very much to see them cleared up to our satis faction. '-Will he do it? Alas! poor Tommy, we can't 4ist yon.

Pol ities have been your ruin, as they have other good men. We'fear that 'even' if his intentions were good it would be a repetition of the Case of Charles E. Boyle, Demo cratic nominee for Congress in the Twenty- first District of Pennsylvania; he declared in favor; of a protective tariff -and his party papers say he is a curse to the party.

However, the Colirt House was well filled when the meeting was organized by the election of Samuel Sheer, Tresidout. Mr. De Witt Davis made an address in the interest of the 'workingmen.
