DOVER January 70, 1860.
The Committee on Corporations yester-
day reported to the House Of Representa-
tives Bill in favor of issuing State Bonds
to the amount of half million dollars to
be expended in completing the Junction
and Breakwater Railroad. The Bill had
its first reading, and two hundred copies
were ordered to be printed
The Junction and Breakwater Railroad
runs from Harrington to LeWes via Mil
ford and Georgetown. The road as is
well known is completed as far as Milford
about eight miles, and partially graded
from Milford 10 Lewes. The distance
from Milford to Lewes Is thirty-two miles.
The friends Of this road are now asking
the State to embark her credit to a much
larger extent than she has heretofore con
sented TO do for any internal improve
ment. The propriety and justice Of in
numbering the State, already seriously in
debt, for the purpose mentioned is seri-
ously questioned, even by those who are
in favor of reasonable assistance to the
work. You will receive a copy of the
bill, and synopsis of its contents should
be laid before your readers.
! On Monday evening the House adopt
ed joint resolution for meeting of both
houses on Tuesday morning at eleven
o'clock, for the'purpose of electiug a Sem
ator of the United States. The resolu-
tion was concurred in by the Senate, and

MR SuTHERs' SpEEcH.-We publish
IN our columns to day, the remarks of the
Hon. n. B. Smithers, delivered in the
House Of Representatives of the United
States on the llth of January, on the
proposed amendment TO the Constitution,
declaring that involuntary servitude or
slavery, except for crime, shall not exist In
this country. Mr.. Smithers takes ground
in favor of the measure, and discusses the
subject in an able and statesmanlike
manner. The speech is not long, and we
hope it will be read by every citizen Of
Delaware, as it elucidates the subject in
such manner, as to carry conviction to
the heart Of every lover Of his country
that her future welfare and progress de
pend altogether on blotting out the las
vestige of human slavery from the nation
and dedicating our soil to universal free.

last opening the eyes of John Bull, who,

BULLY FIELD.-The days of ''chivalry"
are not ended yet, nor did oil the rowdy-
blackguardism Of the South disappear
when "bully Brooks" died. A ruffian
named Field, hailing from Louisiana, as
snulted with bowie knife, the Hon. VIM.
d. Kelley, at Wizards Hotel, in Wash
ington, a few nights ago, without the
least provocation whatever. The black
guard claims a seat in Congress, but that
body refuses to permit the rowdy to even
spoke bis ncsen into the Legislative hall.
We are anxious to see all the States now
in rebellion return to their allegiance to
the Constitution and the flag, but v they
are to be represented in Congress by such
drunken rowdies as Field, they had better
stay out of the Union until SHERMAN or
GRANT shall have taught them better
lessons of deeency and morality as well as
loyalty. Such rowdies are disgrace to
humanity and should not be tolerated in
respectable society, public or private.

How TRAITORS ARE TREATED IN CLEvE-
LAND. We cut the following from the Cleye-
land Leader 1t needs no comment, as
showing how strong is public sentiment in
that city. Speaking of several cases in
which persons rejoicing over the murder OF
the President were punished, it says:
THE case of j. j. Husband, the we'll
known architect, who occupies an ofhee and
rooms over Fogg' sstore, was most prominent.
He was In high glee over the news, remark
ing TO one man You have had your day
of rejoicing, now have mine, to another:
"This is good day for me, and to a third:
'That Lincoln'B death was d-d small
loss. !" 1t seems that afterward he became
sensible of the danger he bad incurred by
these remarks, for he came sneaking to the
newspaper Offices ta.deny that he had made
them We have, however, the authority Of
half a dozen reliable gentlemen, who heard
his remarks, against his unsupported asser
ton. On his way back TO his Office he was
assaulted by the crowd, bot escaped from
them. Hiswords were repeated from mouth
to mouth, and the indignation ofthe multi
tude knew no bounds The crowd searched
the building for him, at last finding him on
the roof of the building. He was caught,
thrown through the skylight into his room,
and knocked and kicked down stairs The
mob then set upon him, and would perhaps
have pounded him to death had he not been
rescued by prominent citizens. tie was Ia
