Seeing in the Republican of Monday, a puff given to a certain young man, an aspirant for the U.S. Marshalship of the district, let me call your attention into another young man who is worth of all honor that can be bestowed by the State of Delaware.  I refer to Lieutenant John M. Dunn.  He entered the army with the three months' men, and carried the flag through seventeen battles; among them were Antietam, the Wilderness, and Gettysburg; was wounded four times, yet remained in the army until the war ended and was honorably discharged.

Among the bailiffs in attendance upon the Court, by appointment of U.S. Marshal John M. Dunn, was Daniel B. Anderson, a colored citizen of Wilmington.  Mr. Anderson is probably the first colored man, who ever held a State or national office in Delaware.  He is a worthy and respected man, and his appointment is in no respect more than appropriate at this time.
