an extent that they have become uuisence
We have them from every village, and many

We don't advise the enforcement of the
law against shnplastcrs, for, in the absence
or other small change we regard them as q
sort OF necessary evil that cannot well be
dispensed | DcItucaream.
How is this friend Dsltuvarcan? We
thought you such " stickler" not only for
the letter but also the spirit of the Constitu-
ton (and of course the laws based on it
that the slightest deviation therefrom would
pain you sorely, You don't advise the en-
torcement of the law, not even against 4
nuisance? Wonderful wonderful :, wor-
thy friend We advise you out of feelings of
the kindest consideration not to make anv
more admissions of this kind or YOU will be
peremptorily kicked out of the Democratic

thou not know the word is discarded from

I DEAR SIR:
Legislation is still laying. Every one
however is like "Oid Shady"-'spectin' every day
when" business will come in Some are looking
for il in the shape Of a Lsttery b but We think the
signs arnt prSPtious. Just as sure as there is a
Lottery on hand. so sure are Sussex county Loco.
foco politicians on hand. They are particularly
adapted for The ferretipg out of Lottery achemss,
and, unfortunately, of the other side have learn
ed something Of it: having such good teachers it Is
not strange they should learn. Well, we have but
few OF them here without they come tonight.
This is the sixth week of the session, and nothing
done but what might just as well have been leii un.
done. Disconted husbands and wives, however.
ought to bless this Legislature. The bands which
no man can put assunder, are being sundered with
rush by this body Of men. We advise all who are
not satisfied with the present state Of affairs in the
domestic circle to up and be made free. 9"
The bill to abolish the Court Of Quarter Sessions
has had second reading in the Senate, and will
perhaps come up for final action this week. We

BUSINESS FOR TIE LEGISLArURE.-The

our representatives now in Legislature as
sembled, the consideration of resolutions
something like the following:
EIte1caS, it has been currently reported
all over the State that official patronage has
been bought and sold like corn or potatoes
in the market: and, whcYe1s, responsible
men have over and over again asserted that
to their own certain knowledge this was
true: and, rAeretS, certain responsible
gentleman of Sussex county now daily de-
cllres in public that such is the fact there
fore,
Resolsed by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives in General Assembly met,
That the said gentleman, (well known to
several of the members Of both IIouses) be
summoned to appear before the Legislature
and give testimony in relation to the facts
Of the case.
The NerrS also proposes that committee
OF three from the House and two from the
Senate be raised to investigate the charges
that there is an organization known as the
hnyIts ?ftts. Golden Circle in our State aid
ing the rebels under the plea of loyalty
also a like committee to investigate the
charge whether the Lottery men gave the
Democratic party $4,000 to cArry the late

annurn to enable said party to keep control
Of the Legislature and State Government.
