SENATOE SAOTiSBUBY.
Situated between Dover and Milford (in De
laware), is a section of land known as
“Marshy-hope,” the inhabitants of which are
regarded by the peopleKsurrounding them as
gemi-barbarians. The commonest articles of
domestic use* being in many instances quite
unknown to them. When their obtuse senses
■permit the fact to become apparent to them
that their habitations need purification,
•which is of rare occurrence, a gourd and corn
cob does duty for bucket and 6crubbing-brnsh,'
and there are many grown people in that re
gion who have never seen a looking-glass, and
-who give voice to the utmost amazement and
commit the most extravagant antics at the
eight of their faces reflected upon the magic
plate. Altogether they are vulgar and illite
rate beyond belief, and from this section comes -
Willard Saulsbury,.United States Senator,the
“aristocrat taste and refined associa-"
lions,” who objects ’ that negroes should be
termed “colored citizens” and will “never con
sent to equality, social or political,” with the
race that has produced Frederick Douglass,
Eobert Purvis, William Wells Brown and a
host of other great and eloquent men. -In the
State which has the honor (?) of being repre
sented by this chivalrous gentleman, there is
not a negro so poor to do reverence to an
“onary Marshy-hoper,” a-pcople so given over
to darkness as even at this day to acquit mur
derers because they believe they have , been
“Conjured,” or in other words bewitched, and,
almost without exception, nail horse-shoes
over their doors to prevent the entrance of
witches, and fasten flour sieves to each post of
the bedstead, believing that the evil suirit who
would molest them must pass through every
hole in these sieves before they can harm
them, and by that time it will be daylight,
when they lose their power.
The writer well remembers when Willard
Saulsbury first made his appearance as a law
student at the offices of Dr. Martin Bates, in
Dover. Hi stall, awkward form, was clad in gar
ments that ifiigbt have formed a portion of the
wardrobe that went into the Ark with Noah,
though it is doubtful if any one so ill-bred'and
nn mannered composed the crew of that ancient
vessel.. He first shone upon the society of
Dover at a fair given by the ladies of the (Pres
byterian denomination for the benefit of that
Church, and his first effort to ingratiate himself
with the fair sex of the town was to enter,in a
violent and tmgenllemanly manner, into a dis
pute frith one of the ladies (a sister of a late
member of Congress), and flatly and plumply
call - her a “liar.” Her pleadings (together
With the Representations of a black waiter
present, who proclaimed him a “ poor white .
trash no ’count-Marshy hoper”) alone pre
vented him from making his exit from the
Dover State House with more speed than dig
nity! From that time he was quietly tabooed,
and no respectable family caned to receive him
as a gnest. How he attained his present posi
tion is a mystery to others besides the Kent
conntv “colored citizen.”
HABHEBSASD CDSTOMSJJF THE CESTEAX
AFRICANS,
A work has been published in England, under
the title “Journal of the Discovery of the
Source of the Nile, by John Hanning Speke,
Captain H. M. Indian Army; with Map, Por
traits and Illustrations.” We subjoin a few
extracts from the book.
Captain Speke, in applying for some infor
mation concerning marriage customs, received
this reply from the Queen of Uganda:
“There are no such things'as marriages in'
Uganda; there are no ceremonies attached to it.
If any Mknngu, possessed of a pretty daughter,
committed an offence, he might give her to the
king as a peace-offering; if any neighboring
king had a pretty daughter, and the king of
Uganda wanted her, she might be demanded as
a fitting tribute. The Wakungu in Uganda
are supplied with women by the king, accord
ing to their merits, from seizures in battle
abroad, or seizures from refractory officers at
home. The women are not regarded as pro
perty according to the Wanyamuezi practice,
though many exchange their daughters; and
some women, for misdemeanors, are sold into
slavery; while others are flogged, or are de
graded to do all the menial services of the
house.’’
Here is a picture of an African beauty. “In
the afternoon, as I heard from Musa that the
wives bf the king and princess were fattening
to such an extent that they could not stand up
nghi, I paid my respects to the Wazexeru, the
king s eldest brother—who, having been born
before his father ascended the throne, did no
copie in the line of succession—with the hope
of being able to see for myself the truth of the
story. There was no mistake about it. On
entering the hut I found the old man and hi;
wife sitting side by side on a bench of earth
strepred over with grass, and partitioned like
Stolls for sleeping apartments, whilst in front
of them were placed numerous wooden pots
of mine, and, hanging from the poles tha*
supported the beehive-shaped hut, a lar~e
collection of bows six feet in length,whilst betow

no small surprise at the way he received me
as well as with the extraordinary TmetiZ’

“Mo one dare stand before the king whils
. he is either standing still or sifting, but must
approach him with downcast eyes and bended
knees, And kneel or sit when arrived. To touch
the king’s throne or clothes, even by accident,
or to look.upon his women;.- is certain death.
When sitting in court holding alevee, the king
invariably has in attendance'several women,
Waband pa, evil-eye averters =or sorcerers.'
They talk in feigned voices raised to a shrillness
almost amounting to a ■ scream.. They wear
dried lizards on their heads, small goat-skin
aprons trimmed with, little bells, diminutive
shields abd spears set off with cock-hackles—
their functions in attendance being to admin
ister cups of marwa (plantain wine). To com
plete the picture of the court, one mnstimagine
a crowd'of pages to run royal messages; they
dare not walk, for such a deficiency in zeal to
• their master might cost their life. A further
feature of the court consists in the national Sym
bols already referred to—a dog, two spears and
shield,” ’
: “It is the duty of all officers,, generally
speaking, to attend at court as constantly as
possible ; should they fail, they forfeit their
: ands, wives and all belongings. Those will be
seized and given to others more worthy of
them; as it is presumed that either insolence
or disaffection can be the only motive which
would induce any person to absent himself for
any length of time from the pleasure of seeing
his sovereign. Tidiness in dress is impera
tively necessary, and for any neglect of th}3
rule the head may be the forfeit. The punish
ment for such offences, however, may be com
muted by finer of cattle, goats, fowls or brass
wire. All acts of the king are counted bene
fits, for which he must be thanked; and so
every deed done to his subjects is a gift re
ceived by them, though it should assume the
t-hape of flogging or fine; for are not these,
which make better men of them, as necessary
as anything? The thanks are rendered by
groveliijg on the ground, floundering about and
whining after the manner of happy dogs, after
which they rise up suddenly, take up sticks—
spears are not allowed to bo carried in court—
make up as if charging the king, jabbering as
■ ast as tongues can rattle, and so they swear
fidelity for all their lives.”
Melancholy Case or Drowning. —From a
letter received by a citizen of this place, from
Tamaqua, dated February 15, we- learn the
melancholy particulars Of the drowning of four
young girls of Tamaqua, while out skating on
a pond. It appears that the ice was weakened
at a place where a spring emptied into the pond,
and unfortunately one of Mr. George Brown’s
daughters fell into the'opening. Her sister,
and two of Mrs. . Reifsnyder’s daughters
promptly went to her rescue, but the ice gave
way under them, and the whole four were
drowned! The girls all belonged to most
respectable families/and the sad event has cast
a gloom over the whole town. The bodies
were immediately recovered, and- bnried yes
terday afternoon. —Reading Times, 1 7th inst.
To be Sent to Fort Delaware.— Oa Tues
day afternoon the military authorities at
Baltimore heard the case of Rev. J. W. Todd,
who was arrested several days since at the
Relay House, on the line of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, by Brigadier-General E. B.
Tyler. The charges were not made public, but
were : understood to” be of a general disloyal
character. Mr. Todd was ordered to be taken
to Fort Delaware and there imprisoned until
further orders. ' -
