The situation last night was some
what mixed. The Republicans are
verv anxious to get out of the woods,
and are Very uneasy lest the electoral
count may be defeated. In their ex
tremity they are making a variety of
profeaaion of fair treatment to the
Southern people which kave about as
much substance
These premises are evidently made S
ui me purpose or inauoing southern
members to forego an v dilatory op
position to the count. " These prom
ises in respect to Louisiana and South
Carolina will probably be put to a
test to-day, and they will be offered
the opportunity of voting for a joint
resolution recognizing the State go
vernments of Nioholls anfl Hampton.
Mr. Ellis, of St, Louis, yesterday
declared his purpose to cuter such a
nawiutwu. ne rte public an
leaders who 1?e pretended that
Hay es was ready to throw off the carpet-baggers
yesterday attempted to
evade the issue by saying that Hayes
policy ought not to be anticipated. It
is an awkward issue for them, inas
much as if they redeem their assu
rances and pass this resolution
through the Senate it may alienate
from Hayes the carpet-bag element
in that body and lead to some very
serioufcresoUs not satisfactory to the
managers of the Returning Board
fraud.
The President is disposed to take a
sensible view of the Loniaian a t na
tion. He recognizes-the fact that
the Nicholls government is the one
that the people of Louisiana heartilv
prefer. Putting everything together,
the friends of Louisiana are really
masters of the situation, and are able
to dictate terms to Hayes friends.
They can defeat the electoral count
if they choose. The Republicans
know this. The present conduct ' of
Grant in reapeot to Louisiana i more
creditable to him than that of Hayes.
All that the tatter may do will be
from necessity, while- Grant acts
from free choice, and his coarse is
free from trickery and selfish motive.
I feel sure that ere many hours the
Suv eruuieiiis oi jnampton and jym
elis will be on firm ground.
I fear the time has gofteNfMf&r&
plomacy to defeat Hayes, Just 'as the
time for fighting west by in Novem
ber atlor December. A great cause
has, I fear, been lost for want of
leadership. L. -Q. W.

Tberrare bitter speeches being
made. The sensation was Hewitt's
speech, and he counselled submission
before anarchy. Mr. Cate, of 'Wis
consul, stigmatized it as cowardice,
and Yeates, of North Carolina, roared
out that the South had trusted the

played the coward twice. Great con
fusion prevailed, when Hoar, of Mas-

In a letter dated the 19th instant,
addressed to a prominent Republican
member of the House of Representa
tives from Ohio, Governor Hayes, in
response to a direct inquiry, says:'

Hoar answered Hewitt in a speech

Morton is suggested stroncly, but

Several gentlemen who witnessed the affair
say that there was no excuse whatever in
the fellow's behavior for the- severe blows
given him by the policeman, Maultsby.
The man was knocked senseless, and it is
reported his skull fractured, but we were
unable to learn as to the truth of the re
port. Maultaby claims to have acted In
self-defence, and with no intention of se
riously injuring the prisoner, and also that
the gentlemen mentioned above did not see
the whole of the affair.
The matter will be investigated before
the Mayor this morning.
If we mistake not the police are instruct

in extreme cases, where it mav become ne
cessary for self-preservation, which is not
likely to happen in a case where a man is
intoxicated, and if the policeman, Maultaby,
should be unable to prove to the satisfac
tion of the tJottrt that he clubbed the man
as he claims, we trust that an example may
be made of his case. -

J&nowing that the completion of the
above enterprise is a matter in which nnt
only the residents of the sounds, but also
the people of Wilmington, feel a eneclai
interest, because it would furnish in the
one case a good road to market and in the
other a fine drive for the nent-uo occunanu
of the city, we venture to make a few sug
gestions m its behalf, particularly as we
learn that the stockholders have not the
means to complete it at present, when it
will so soon be needed for the increased
travel incident to the warm season.

southern part of the city, yesterday after
noon, about ten minutes to two o'clock,
causing considerable commotion, , but for

Part of the shed over the boiler was blown
off and a brick wall in the rear was knocked
down, one of the flying bricks striking a
colored man on the bead, who was sitting
near by, breaking the brick, but doing no
damage to the man's cranium. The acci-
dent was not caused by carelessness, we
understand, but through some defect in the

failed to bring him to the ground, and he

Oakdale Cemetery,
We are glad to see that by a recent order
oi the Directors of Oakdale Cemetery
Company, many trees have been cut down
or transplanted, and all of the hedges have
been trimmed and every lot put in thorough
order. As soon as the hedges and plants
begin to feel the genial influence of Spring
and don their new attire of green, the very
great improvement in the beauty of the
grounds win be manifest td . each and all;
and we trust every lot owner will approve
of this action of the Directors, and readily
contribute their quota of the expense. It
was much needed, as the neglect of a few
lots mars the beauty of those which are
kept in order, and, in fact, detracts fronV
the general good order of the Whole.
