have thus frequent opportunities of going
home and consulting their constituents con.
corning matters of Legislation, and hence

popular views at home.
The Levy Court bill for New Castle Conn.

der IL necessary that larger body of men
should constitute the Court. II the CHER
Hundreds want greater representation in The
Court than they now have, and can show
good reasons Tor it, their number will also
be increased, but not otherwise.
The one million dollar petition has not
yet reached Dover but doubtless will in

will meet with respectful attention. But IL

the question OF the regularity and legality

the Senate declared on the 9th of MARCH,

served usefnlly on several important com.

MONEY-Active and sharp at per
cent, with exceptional transactions at
coin interest. This has occasioued a
yielding on exchange. Many of the
prominent bulls took advantage of the
recent rise to sell largely and ara not
lending their morey freely, and the
carrying rates for gold having advanced
to 10 per cent, the large owners of gold
have withdrawn it from the market,
which necessitates the calling IN of Il
heavy amount of loans from stock bro
kers. Herein lies the explanation of
the present activity in money.

ly the former. 1t is reported that one
prime banking firm will ship one mil
lion in bonds.

5a1O per cent on l-32 per day.

among the Liquor Dealers-A Party
Contemplated.
Boston, April 4.--The old liquor il
cense expired Saturday aud the officers
of the State Constabulary went around
and informed all liquor dealers that they
must close their places forthwith. None
of them complied with the order how
ever, and the bar-rooms are open to-day
as usual. Prosecution will probably be
commenced at an early day
and probably the result will be
that all the publis drinking saloons will
be closed and the club rooms of few
years since will be revived. Thomas
Norton, who carried on a small drink
ing place at the Highlands, was so ex-
cited when he was informed that he
must quit his business that he went
crazy and hung himself. The liquor
dealers and hotel proprietors to the num-
Der of Ave or six hundred held q meet
ing at the Parker House this afternoon
to consider what action to take
in reference to the threatened
enforcement of the prohibitory
law. The question was very
freely discussed, and very uncompli-
menta=y illusions were made to the
Legislature. 1t was decided not to
resist the law as body, but individ-
ually. 1t is likely that nearly every
dealer will evade OF attempt evasion.
A resolution passed favOring the forms
ton of q new political party at once.
It's chief purpose was to secure a more
