Special Correspondence Of the Commercial.
Dover, April 8.
The Liquor License bill came up, in the Sem
ate, this afternoon, and wss made special or
der for Thursday morning, at II o'clock. There
are number of people here, watching it, and
the most potent ipfiuencos are at work against
it. Its slaughter in the Senate may be safely
predicted.
The eight Democratic Senators put their party
on record, once more, to-day, in opposition to a
fair representation Of the people in the Legsla-
ture Senator Riddle called up his bill to Sc
enre that aud advocated it earnestly and vigor-
ously, Tommy Records responded IN Drlef
speech, in which he referred to the African race,
as an inferior one--one which it would disgrace
the white race to educate, &C. Such remarks,
and others, foreign to the subject, were In
dulged in. But the intention, however, was to
have a hearing and a cast vote, which could not
be avoided. Senator Riddle responded aye
while Senators Lesley and Vandegr;ft, OF
New Castle county, joined the Kent and Sussex
delegations in voting mo-.
ertion, but after proposing and voting down sew
eral amendments and resolutions, the bill was
recommitted to the Committee on Education,
from which, doubtless, IL Will never again DO
reported. There is a strong disposition to avoid
meeting the issue fairly and squarely, and the
recomnittal will most likely serve for mode or
escape II matters little, whether reported or
otherwise in it's present mutilated condition.
With the refusal to charter an aid the Bay
Shore Railroad, by tho House, to-day, by a large
majority, and, we believe, ,Abont the only M matter
OF Legislative sensation, il we except the whisky
bill.
IL is whispered about that considerate sharp
practice, Of a black-mailing character has been
attempted with more or less sncoess, by greedy
aud cheeky, lobbyists who have been hanging
around Dover. The fact, itself, will not astonish
ven, perhaps, but the names would, IL 1 were to
mention them to you. II is fact generally
known that there have been parties here who do
not belong in Dover, and had no legitimate bus
mess here except to denounce and damage
Legislation, whenever they have not been en-
ployed to forward it. / have the names of two
such parties who for " services never engaged
or rendered, attempted to secure $3.50 each from
the agents Of certain Railroad Co.,, chartered
recently.
Another little joke-if both sides can see
where the laugh comes in-was the wine-supper
gotten up as a compliment OF the New jersey
4 Central X. II. Co." The supper was all right but
the parties who got 1t up have had the bill for 1t
presented to Messrs Pancoast and hobDins tine
legal representativesofth ofthelCompany! Those gen,
tie Jerseymen were surprised and shockod-so II
il said-at such Delaware jokes, and turned at

The FIRST OPENING AS we anticipa.
ted in our announcement Yesterday morn.
ing, the first fall opening Of Messrs. l.
Blum s. Bro. created considerable Of a
ripple of excitement among the ladies OF
Wheeling and vicinity.
Hundreds visited the storeroom yester-
day, and all were profuse in their express
sions oil admiration and delight. This Is
only 3 fair illustration Of the good taste Of
the fair sex. The question was constantly
asked, "How in the worldcan they afford
to cell everything 50 low? .
There were doubtless great many who
were not present yesterday, wishing &c
avoid the rush Of the first day. But when
each lady tells several friends Of the grand
display offered, 1t will be impossible 10
suppress their impotence, and the conse
quence will be that there will be an in.
creased rush as 1t becomes known.
The Ready-msde Suit Department was
o complete success. The styles are con.
sidered much superior to imported sam.
pies. Everything is arranged 10 advan.
tage, and purchasers have an opportunity
Of inspecting goods to their satisfaction.
The curiosity Of woman is here again
aroused by wondering how dresses can
be SO well made at such small cost.
The accommodations Of the Messrs
Blum were severely tried by yesterdays
crowd, but they can dltcays find room and
convenience for visitors. No one need
stay away on account Of q crowd. Go
early and often, and you will make each
and every visit profitable and pleasant.
