THE DEBATING SOCIETY, to which reference
was made in our last issue, was organized on
Friday evening under the most fattering pros
poets of success. At the appointed hour a
meeting was convened at Wards Hall, (the
attendance being much larger than was antici-
pated, numbering about thirty persons,) which
adopted a Constitution and By Laws for the
government of the Society, aud elected the
following officers. for the ensuing month:
President-Dr. Edw. d. Daley.
Vice President-Robt. ID. Hofecker.
Secretary and Treasurer-Nch Watkins.
A question for debate at the next meeting, on
Thursday evening of the present week, was
also adopted. Success to the ExCELsIoR!
The Trustees of the Library have generously
granted the Society the use of the Reading
Room one night in each week CfhurSday), but
as the Trustees could not grant the erciusire
use of the room, it is to be hoped that Stock
holders and Subscribers who are not member:
of the Debating Society will get their books on
one of the other five nights of the week. "a
word 10 the wise is sufficient"

That LOTTERY GRANT.-The Peninsula
there would be no Lottery Grant by the mex
Legislature, says:
"The ground on which we made the asser-
tiun is the fact that the lottery spectators with
the Delaware lotteries as rivals, found they
could afford TO give the State Of Maryland $54,-
600 per year for an exclusive grant. Now, as
the Maryland lotteries expire IN year or two
! by constitutional provision, an exclusive grant
from the State of Delaware is worth as much
as one from each one these States, which cal
culatlon would make an exclusive grant from
Delaware, in fact worth over $2,00O.O00. But
making the moderate estimate that the Dela-
ware grant, after that in Maryland expires, is
worth what is now given to the State of Mary
land, SOD 600 a year-this makes the grant
from Delaware worth one million eight hOu-
sand dollars. An exclusive lottery grant from
the little State of Delaware, other things being
equal, is worth as much as one from every State
in the Union. This is one of the important pc
culiarites Of these beautiful institutions"
AS further grounds for making the assertion
are, that the legislators elect from Sussex were
run as no lottery men, and elected as such 4; and
the difficulty Of dividing the SpOiLs between the
different claimants, viz: Junction and Break
water Railroad, Mispilion and Choptank Rail-
road, " Great Annamessex and Extension and
Maryland and Delaware Railroad. The Editor
concludes as follows:
"When we are aware that so many and pro-
badly as many more claimants will be before
the Legislature, demanding five times as much
money as the Legislature can possibly raise,
declaring "gve us our share or we will not
vote the appropriation" we think we have some
ground for asserting that there will be no Lot
terry grant

Some of the papers, we see, are trying |
start another Kansas issue, and have chosen
new field for future operations. We bellev
tFe st. Louis Democrat is entitled to the credl
of originating the rumor. 1t says:
"There is some probability that an app'ica
ton will be mode to Congress, at the approach
ing session, for the organization OF Laramie
Territory being the Western half of Kansas
including the gold region. There are already
indications that a struggle Will be made By
southerners 10 dedicate this region to slavery
Anything but that! We call upon the Ad
mnisraton at Washington, and the politicians
everywhere the asprants for the Presidency
and placemen in power, to save the Nation ano-
ther Kansas demonstration. The people oi
that Territory, we are happy to learn, are cry
ing hands off to the Government, and hands of
to all Intermediates. A writer from Kansas
says:
I'VE venture to say that more has been done
for the organization of Kansas in the months
than was accomplished in the four years prior
to this, and why! Simply because we have
put to rest, for time, this alhorcnt political
fight. You may think the remark a strange
OHci DnI IL is Irue. from the moment lnc pas
sage of the English Bill made clear our policy
and our duty, Kansas has had peace, for our
course was as distinctly settled in our minds on
the day of Its passage as it was on the night OF
the day of election. Home application is be-
ginning TO show itself in every direction. Con-
tentment and happiness are making their i'm
press on every cOunteuanCe, and our Industrial
ecOnumy will show greater development Of the
soil, and improvements in homes that have been
shown for the whole period Of Kansas settle
ment
A word to the future: our friends at the
East are urging that we now take prompt ac-
ton for the future, form Constitution and de-
mand admission into tie Union. We thank
them for their interest and their advice but we
think the policy a bad one for the present. Had
we not better leave the question of assuming
the responsibilities of q State, until the people
are ready for it! | know what say when
tell you that the people are not ready tor this
step. Why First, they are not prepared to
sustain the burdens of the Government. Sc
cOnd, they are tired Of politics, Political Con-
ventlons, Constitutions, political quacks, hacks
and mountebanks. They desire rest, and an
opportunity to improve their homes, cultivate
their farms and get in state Of ndependency.
We hope stlll further, that the men viii be
few and far between who will look to Kansas To
make or mend their political fortunes. From
the beginning she has been tormcntcd with too
many Of this class.

Delaware City to Philadelphia inside of three
hours. The rates for freight will be low. Pas.
sengers will be carried from Philadelphia to
st. Georges for 80 cents, and to hesapeake
City for IS cents. This arrangement wall be d
great accOmmOda ton TO persons between the
various points and Phlladel phia. Mr.. Reybod
also talks of putting fast boat on the canal
route between Philadelphia aud BlltImore, aud
carrying passengers between those two cities
for IS cents.

A ROMANCE OF CRINOLINE. "A few weeks
ago gentleman of New Castle had occasion
to go out, on dull morning, and wished TO take
his umbrella with him, but it couldn't be found,
and he was obliged to take his chance of the
weather clearing up. Next day search for
the umbrella was made, but without success
Nobody had ever seen it since the master" :"
had it last. The gentleman had a numerous
and mischevous brood of little ones, and one
in particular. a 10y, was very curious on the
subject of crinoline. The Sunday after the
search was made the child noticed the peculiar
pyramidal and triangular shape of one of the
" "maldens' gowns, and next morning, pene-
trating into the mysteries of the servants ward
robe, he was curious enough TO take down the
geometricalIy shaped habit, and then placing it
OH his shoulders, where it covered him like u
small tent, he marched into his fathers room
with it, The mystery was out at once-the
girl had stripped the umbrella for its whOlebone,
but not being Gu .JGit in dressmakng. she had
only succeeded in investing herself in an ire
guar pOlygon, Covered with a material of
light texture. The discovery of the body Of
The boneless umbrella offered further proof OF
the new invention.

/ CHURCH AT SMYRNA LANDING.-For some
weeks past, the folks at the Landing have been
making effort to secure for their children q
place of public worship, and we earnestly hope
they may succeed. During great part of the
year it is quite inconvenienI fer large portion
OF them, the aged and the young-owing to the
bad walking in winter and the heat of summer
to come TO Smyrna for public service, and on
this account it seems desirable that they should
have such an opportunity in their midst. A
sabbath school of thirty-fve scholars has al
ready, we learn, been established there during
the summer, and the probability is, that the
number would be increased to fifty, could
more convenient place of meeting be secured.
subscription list has been presented to many
of our citizens, and an opportunity will be Of
tered to all to aid in this praiseworthy enter
prise. AT the Quarterly Conference of the NJ.
E. Church, held in this place on last Saturday,
1t was resolved, that the people of the Landing
have their earnest sympathy in the movement
and that they would heartily cooperate with
them. 1t had been deemed inexpedient to COM
mence the building until next spring, but upon
reconsideration it is thought advisable 70 begin
the work so soon as a sufficient means are Sc
cured. We commend this enterprise to the
liberality of this community
