TWO IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED ny TIE Ii

BILL.
Dover, January 2l.-The House did
good work TO day In passing By so band
some a majority Mr.. Sfvor's bill prohbi-
ting the attachment of wages for personal ?
labor, hire or service; but of sussex's
Allegation Messrs. Davis, Holland, Martin,
Jones and Thompson voted for the bill. q
Speaker Burchnel, of Kent, also voted for /
ii, while the gentlemen from New Castle s
were. Of course, a uuit in It's favor.
Messrs. Mnrs and Silver both advocated 1
tho bl in able addresses, and their argu q
ments were conceded 10 be unanswerab.e.
Mr. Marls showed clearly that the present {
law, permitting the attachment of wages, is
driving from the State skilled mechanics,
while Mr. Silver ably reviewed the whole
subject, and demonstrated the hardshlps
the law imposed upon the honest mech ~
or laborer, who, through misfortune, etc,
is reduced, and not able to meet the iu-
debtedness The last penny with which
to provide a family with bread, Mr.. silver
remarked, is taken under the attachment
! aw.
IL is more than probable, however, that
this excellent bill will be voted down in
| the Senate. Speaker Leslie is bitter OPP
posed to its passage, and is working with
n will for its defeat. The large majority |
in its favor in the House, though, may |
have a tendency to generate favor Tor the
bill on the part of Senators. But il Is
almost safe to say it will lie killed with |
but little ado.
The House, by handsome majority, |
also Passed the bill recently introduced by |
Mr.. Maris abolshing the tax imposed upon |
Loan Associations. This bill will pass the
senate and become law.
The subject of representation according
to population is still discussed here, The
opposition TO ii IS well developed, and
| when the proper time arrives, the follow
inc bill, introduced in the Senate " ster-
, day by Mr.. Riddle, will be killed as dead
, as Hector
