DOVER, Jan. 80.
The House this morning passed by strict
party vote the joint resolution authorizing
the Farmers Bank to contest the constitu-
tionality of L. $. laws taxing State Banks.
The resolutions were discussed at length by
Representative Reed and Allderdice Mr..
Reed labored for an hour to prove that the
United States was ga corporation" reading
from various authors to support his position.
Mr.. Allderdice's argument was logical and
To the point, utterly demolishing Reed, who
had evidently spent some time in ''geiting
up his 'piece.
Mr. Bancroft introduced the following res
olutions this morning, which ON motion OF
Mr.. Reed were indefinitely postponed.

one morally obligatory upon us as men and eth

It's school fund To the objects contemplated In It's
establishment; therefore,
Re il Resofred, BY the Senate md House oil
Representatives of the State Of Delaware, in gem
ernl Assembly met That any attempt to divert
the said School Fund, or It's revenues or any part
thereof from the purposes for which it was de-
signed for any other purpose whatever, Is de-
serving of the condemnation of this Legislature,
and inasmuch as any such diversion Is rubbing
Of thousands yet unborn of their inheritance, and
therefore moral as well MS n practical wrong,
deserving of the condemnation of the community,
and OF our whole country.
The election of State Treasurer and Audi
tor will take place shortly. The contest fol
the Treasuryship is between William J.
Clarke, of Dover, and Ayres Stockly, OF
Smyrna, with the probabilities in favor OF
the former gentleman.
The members of the Legislature, in con.
nection with gentlemen of the town, are
taking measures TO give grand ball in the
Representative Hall, on the 18th of Febru-
AIRY. | don't know who has the matter in
charge, but lnar it is the intention to max,

IT Is DUE TO Mr.. BRwLRY, the Senator
from Kent, to say that he has always been
a firm and consistent opponent of the Lot
terry system, and that his action against them
Is of no new growth. The past history OF
the Lotteries, their continuance, abolition,
and efforts at revival, is of such a character
that any one who has at all times consistent
ly fought them is entitled to full credit for

THE HIGH COURT OF DIVORCE.
Whom God hath Joined together let no man put
ssnnder.'
Every consideration of religious duty and
moral obligation should induce the members
OF the State Legislature to adopt new rule
Of action in the granting of divorces. The
present system, by which nearly twenty-five
per cent. of the legislation passed is bills for
the separation of husbands and wives, il in
conflict with every good principle in the
government of society 1t is a serious blow
AT the morality of the people of Delaware,
and it may fairly be doubted whether the
Legislature could do anything which would
more directly serve to undermine public yr-
tue, than to sever, in this unsparing and in
considerable manner, the legally entered bonds
of wedlock. All that can be said of the most
dissoute community is a contempt for mar
riage, and Il disregard of its ties after assu-
ming its duties, and surely nothing will more
inevitable produce such a condition things
Than the knowledge that if marriage is for
any reason unpleasant or announcement the
law makers 1.-THE State will promptly release
the parties.
That there are just reasons for divorce is
not doubted But the courts are open for
the purpose, and full power is granted them
by the statutes. The dispassonatc charac-
Ter of their examinations or the justice of
their decisions no one questions. Indeed il is
for these very reasons that scores of petitions
90 t,,t ha I eli ;ug -
the Courts. 1t is understood, whether justly
or not, that the members of the Legislature
will grant divorce upon grounds so frivo-
lous and slender, that the statutes governing
the law tribunals would not admit of such
decision. Senators and Representatives art
open to arguments which judges are not ant
they will view an g incompatibility of char
acter, or an " infirmity of temper" as a rea
son for separation, while the latter woult
dismiss il as unworthy of consideration.
Looking hurriedly over the proceeding
Of the Legislature, we are of opinion tina
from twenty-five 10 .foriy applications TO
divorce have been made to the present SEES
sion of the Legislature, and of those tina
have reached final vote not one has We
been rejected. In one day we find no les
than nine applications appeared in the min
ules of the proceedings, and there is N,
prospect of any elimination in these demands
In Pennsylvania, an amendment TO tn
State Constitution has been made forbiddinl
the Legislature from granting divorce fC
any cause for which the courts have pow,
TO decree one. 1t was adopted under til
pressure of such a necessity as now exis
in this State, although the evil there bore Il
comparison in degree with that here. II
result is that at the last session of the Legi
lature not more than two or three dyort
bills were considered.
We call this subject TO the serious attci
ton of the many order-loving. God -fcarr
men and women of Delaware, Lotteri,
were an evil, drunkenness is an evil, but tn
disregard of the bonds of marriage is scare
ly less balefu in its influence.

Our INFORMATION leads us to express the
confident opinion that the dominant party
in the Legislature will not pass any bill in
terfering with the duly chosen city officers
of Wilmington. Apart from the total in
justice of such proceeding, and the absence
of any grounds upon which it could be de-
Tended, the members from Kent and Sussex
are quite satisfied with the extent of power
they now enjoy, and do not desire to take
any white elephant on their hands, such as
the city management would undoubtedly

The DEBATE in the lower House of the
Legislature, between Messrs. Allderdice and
Reed, on the resolutions in opposition to
the National law taxing State Banks, was Of
decidedly interesting character. Mr.. All
derdice made one of his happiest and most
effective efforts, in reply to Reeds defence OF
the resolutions, and from the standpoint OF
patriotism dissipated the thin theories OF
States Rights, and State Sovereignty, with
irresistible blows of logic.
