Special Correspondence Of tie Commercial.
DOVER, April 9.
Ae this is the last week of the present Gener.
al Assembly the House, apparently, is deter.
| mined not to die without desperate effort tc
leave notoriously infamous record to be added
| to the many other retrograding features of Del
aware Democracy similar to the whipping post
and pillory. The Watson-Wilds- -Martin-bun
combe niger denouncing-white-man govern.
ment resolutions were called up this afternoon
by Mr.. Sheldrake, and were passed by strict
party vote
The ''bg family" think they have accom-
plished "big thing" in getting the resolutions
through, and true enough, they have. 1t will
be- the biggest elephant" politically, that they
this line, it yet remains to see what the Senate
will do. .-=
Joint Resolution has been adopted BY both
Houses, appointing Fl. s. Enright State Libra
rian. The Salary is fixed at $3.50 per annum,
and then he is paid, in addition, $1OO for re-
arranging the library.
The repeal of the Charter of the Queenstown
Il Harrington railroad was effected by the Senate,
to-day. Mr.. Hambly, of Philadelphia, who was
several times, this session, protesting against
the repeal, but all of no avail. There is no doubt
but the 'road'' is, or was, one of those peculiar
frauds inflicted on the rural citizens Of lover
Delaware.
The Senate adopted the House joint resolu-
tion to pay the members in gold or its equiVi-
lent. Just SO. Comment is Unnecessary.
The salaries Of the State Chancellor and
Judges have been increased as follows Cham
cellor, from $4,000 to S2,700 Ohief Justice,
$4,000 to $4,000; Associate Justices, $1,7OO to
50 200.
Both Houses held extra sessions this evening,
but it is sham too plain to have any effect on
the people at large. The House in a manner,
is entirely out Of business, while the Senate can
finish up in few hours all the matters in hand
1t is evident that the intention is to make
full week" this time ut is hard matter to
get an adjournment, while the pay is three dol
lars day and roast turkey" was the remark the
other evening, by man familiar with the ways
of the world.
That the roast turkey is an inducement, we
would not pretend to say, but the five members
of the Senate and the several Representatives
who board at the Capital Hotel, will, doubtless,
testify to the fact that Mr.. Fountain under
stands how to keep hotel. The following was
