The Inside of the Christianey scandal i's coming to the surface. In his plea för divorce the ex-senator charges his wife with adultery, followed by accusations of repeated infidelities. She in turn denies the allegations, charging him with inhuman cruelty, conspiring to place her in disreputable cbmpanyi and represents him tobe a victim of int'emperance and au opium eater. This sad ending of a romantic marriage is a lesson to giddy girls who contémplate fcecoming "an old man's darling." Hon. Fidus Livermore died at his home in Jackson Friday, aged about 69 years.

Thedemocracyof Deleware assenxbled ín state convention at the capítol on the 2öth uit and appointed six delegates to represent tbe state in the national democratie eenrention at Cincinnati. The delegates were eleeted imariyraously on the first ballot, and arBSoIirtion was passed with the sameimanimityby the convention instmeting the delegates 60 vote for the nomination of Thomas y. Bayard as a candidato for President. Among the many distinguished statesmen named and who are now conspicususly before the public, and the democratie party for the nomination to the presidency, and one who, diservedly stands, if not foremost, at least in the front rank, among thein, is the name of the present senator from Deleware, ThomasF.R:(yard,although a resident of one of the smalleet state in the Union, he wUI uttdoubtedly, receivc, as he is justly entitled, the full and the same consideration in the convention, that hte unsullied name and charac ter, his unswerving integrity to principie, unselfish patriotism and enlightened statesmanfHiip would secure him wérê he the resident of the largest state in the union. With so many soumi and able statesmen in their ranks, and 110 one man or set of men assuming to, or allowed to control, by party rrrachinery or otherwise, the f ree and full expression of the -ill and wish of the democvaey by their representatives in convention, in the dectaration of the principies of the party or in theselëction of the riglit men for candidates. Tlie ('ijtcinnati convention need not, must not, and we think can not mnkea mistake in the nominations, if tliey do, they will be challenged by an a'itraged constituency for B reasonable excuse for the blunder.
