WILMINGTON, Oct. 4, 1870, ‘The election for 100 oMcers as inspectors of the State election in November was heid in this State to-day, as usual. Little interest was attached to it, and tue vote polled in this city was very light, As far as heard from the republican majority throughout the State is 270. They have # cousider- able gain on the vote of 1868, en- will be of all the works of aimcult, we opine, effective form is “Barnaby Rudge.’ In it the great novelist grasps @ grand subject, the intoxication of anentire people over @ chimera, the nonsensical bugbear of papal plots and conspiracies. The his- tory of the terrible London riots, caused by a man who nowadays would be safely lodged in an asyiam before he could do any harm, was never told with such @ fearful, lifelike coloring as that whicn Dickens haa thrown around the grand central cha~ rac ters of his story. These characters are also peculiarly interesting in their conception and de- lineation, and, with two excepiions, are exiremey dimculg be properly represented on the blage. These two exceptions are the cha- racters of Sam Tappertit and the antiquated coquette Miggs, They were the features of the cast at Allss Edwin's theaire last night. Mr. Stuart Robs son Diayed the one and Misa Mary Stuart tue other, Mr. Kovuson made a decided hit as the bold 'pren- tice, and it gave him full scope for his brillant tal- ents asa comedian, Miss Stuart looked, acted and spoke as if she was made for the part of the spin- ater, The rest of the cast was in general sattsl tory, with the exception of the gentlemen who ap- peared as Sir Julia Maredale, Rudge and Lord George Gordon, We sirongly advise the manage- ment to discard such heavy, melodramatic pieces and return to light comedy aiid vaudeville, for which the theatre neems to be speciaily constracted, The acting of Mr, Kobson aud Miss Stuart, however, lights up the sombre character of this play very mach and will entertain the patryas of (he Bouse While iy 1s kept om the boards, Dickens to put on tho stage in an the most Daners, a8 well as private infurma- | and Chicago, Boston and Cincinnati have had marshals Whose laithfulness and eMciency could not be ques- Mone, New York, the controversy is re- Sarde here a8 of partisan character, and it ts gen- erally believed that General Sharpe ts likely to ba found as candid and honest as the marshal who took the census in 1960.

In some cases volunteer committees of citi- veps have gone over the ground a second uid’ with the assistant marshals, until tr waa settled to their satisfaction whether the work was or was not well dono. Very few complaints have been recived from the rural districts, In a few Instances sm.4ll portions of the sparsely settled ‘Territories at the NorS and West have been passed by in the enumeration, dad it has been found neces- sary to instruct the assistant marshals to returo and take them. The Territories have almost uniformly been promptly and thoroughly taken, By the act of 1862 provision i maae for the renumeration of the sections where the census shall be found to have been improperty taken, Generally it 13 found to be better to allow supplementary returns to be made, This ts particu- larly the case m the cities where families are now returning from the sea shore and the country, Wherever application for authority to renu- merato has been made the Census Office has instructed the marshals not to be infu. enced by popular disappointment or dissatisfaction at the resuits, inasmuch as the expectutions formed had been in so many cases shown to be unfounded and unreasonable, but to make @ personal investiga- tion into the facts before reporting. Going Home to Vote—A House Order Ke- voked. In my despatches some days ago there appeared an order from Juage Otto, Unief Secretary of the In- terior, instructing the heads of bureaus to allow clerks to go home and vote, deducting the time they were absent from their usual thirty days’ leave in the year, This order gave considerable offence to the clerks, as such an order had never been before issned, and was not now inthe other departments; and yesterday Judge Oito verbally notifled the seve- ral heads of bureaus in hfs department that the order in relation to deductions for absence would not be enforced, It $s said that this retraction is made in obedience to an order from the President upon the circumstances being made knownoto him by Senator Cameron, It was evidendy a very harsh order, and the President has done perfectly right in directing its prompt revocation. Protection for Trade Marks. But a smait number of applications to secure pro- tection for trade marks under the act of Congress of Jaiy 8, 1870, have been made, although It was be- jheved at the time the law was passed that t - Would be quite a rush for the issuance of sneh pro- tection, Why this neglect on the part of parties using trade iwarks occurs 18 somewhat surprising, but it is supposed that tho character of the law has not come to be generally understood, and that as 15 becomes more generally Kuowa advantage will be taken of its provisions. Tobacco Keg Siamps. Representations having been made to the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue that some manufac. turers of plug tobacco have been using small kegs 80 entirely covered with fioops as to render it im- practicable to attach the stamps to the sides of these kegs according to the mode prescribed in regula. tions, series five, number eight, and that, conse- quently, they have, with the kuowledge and consent of the local reyenuo officers, stamped each keg upon one of its heads; and, further, it having been represented that several seizures have of lato on made of ego kegs, in consequence of haying been stamped aa above, the Commissioner notified parties interested that upon application he will order the release of all such kegs So stamped Ly the consent of local oficers and removed from the piace of manufacture prior to October 1, provided tuis 18 the only cause of such seizure; but heresfter, as these manufacturers have Slready keon informed, all kogs usqd ye packing unanimity, notwithstanding the rejection of th treaty by the Senate of the United States.
