Here and there throughout the country
the stupid action Of our House Of Repre-
seutatives IN eXpel,ing our correspondent
at Dover, has heeu made the occasion for
'nseriug at ouI State, and in tie New
Jersey Legislature, a member who felt
gsrieyed by the criticism oil newspapers
~ his course 10 acting as tool in
The Pennsylvania Railroad Compapy's
schemes, offered q resolution that all the
correspondents counting expulsion be re-
ques,ed 10 move to Delaware.
We wish to protest against making our
State responsible for the disgracefll
action Of majority Of the members Of
tue House Of Representatives, and espc-
cially against throwing any part Of the
disgrace for the dirty work upon the PEG
pie Of this county, every representative
from which, voted against tue spitelul
act.
still in all such matters the innocent
always suffer with the guilty and this is
the way in which it is spoken Of
Prom the Reading tPa Daily Eagle
LITTLE DELAWARE TRULY a woRM-EATEN,
DISEASED, DIRTY PEACH sNIT
That august body, the House Of Represen-
tatiyes Of the State Of Delaware, BY n vote
Of ten TO five, expelled Mr. Willard S. Pride,
a correspondent Of the EVERY EVENING
newspaper published in the city Of viii
mington, for writing the following criticism
70 that paper on the proceedings OF that very
honorable body
In view n tn Is acton OF the House, am con-
strained 10 believe that T. IL capable Of passi o Z
al MEASURES now pending hat are not My
Questionable, but bear upon their face the stamp
VI fraud. "
BY this vote the House Of Representa-.
tives Of Delaware has made itself notorious
all over the country for meanness and lib.
nd II has faF Nta4 u,.
that some gigantic scheme of fraud and
robbery is Contemplated, which tire mem.
bers thereof are parties to and fear public
exposure. Truly, indeed, the three lower
counties of Pennsylvania have disgraced
themselves, and the inferior fertility OF the
soil along the shore is strongly reflected in
the action Of the House; and the best thing
for the people Of that State to do hereafter
| 10 to allow the members who voted for that
expulsion to remain at home to raise fax
buckwheat and peach snita. By this action
Of the House the people Of the state Of
Delaware have been disgraced, and their
kindred in Pennsylvania aud other States
whohave regarded with favor their Swedish,
/ German and English ancestry, will here
after look upon the House Of that state
(unless II reconsiders it's vote) as u body Of
men engaged in turning out AZ the public
/ expense, huge quantities Of dirty, worm.
| eaten, peach snit legislation which 10 the
! laughing stock Of the whole country, and a
disgrace to the Republic. After this, what
VIII monAfchlsl countries say Of Us about
the freedom Of the press7
Though We DO not believe the action of
the House justifes such differences as the
above, still II will be interesting TO the
members who did the dirty act to zee
how themselves and their work are re-
gsrded by the leading paper Of their own
| poll teal party In the staunchest Demo
cratic County Of Pennsylvania.
