The success Of the "Citlzens' Committee,
and the delegation of Democratic Councilmen,
in convincing the Caucus, on Wednesday night
of the Necessity for establishing Police and
Water Commissions, in Wilmington, Is under
stood not to have been very great. The delega-
ton ret forth the Is evils and injustice" under
which they groaned, ,at great length and fullness
Col. Whiteley stated his observations, as citi-
zen, (not as paid advocate,) and Mr.. Quinn
made one OF those old-fashoned speeches. for
which hs became distinguished during the earlier
period of his career in Council. But, unfoftu-
nately for the job, from some remarks and state
ments which, perhaps inadvertently, escaped
from some OF the party, the legislators got the
idea that the ''reform" asked for were a sort of
personal schemes for the personal advantage OF
the parties who hoped to be put into the Com
missions and be set up as ruling powers in Will
mington upon the ruins of local self-govern-
ment" At present writing, it looks as though
the delegation had made tizzle.
The act relating to the Delaware and Chester
County Railroad Company, Wilmington and
Western gave rise to some discussion in the
Senate, this morning. The old title for the new
line caused some Misunderstanding, and earnest
assurance of the purpose of the Company to ex-
tend the road was needed. The bill passed how
ever, and this enterprsing Railroad company
can proceed with it's further issue of bonds, and
its extension to the Susquehanna.
In the House, tine slaughter OF the Exemption
Act was recoRsidered. 1t is inferred by some
that this was in consequence of the application
of the ''party lash" from the Caucus, but there
was a Majority of votes in the House, even at
the time of the adverse action, in favor of a
| moderate exemption. Fixing the amount at
| 5000 or $780, will secure some four or five Dem
ocratic votes, and the bill will go through the
House The Senate, however, will squeeze 1t fiat.
Our fishery disputes with New Jersey are to
be settled by a Commission. resolution for
the purpose was passed by both Houses to-day.
W. G. Whiteley, Jos p. Comegys, and Edward
| L. Martin are the Commissioners-all Demo-
Gratis, of course. The Republicans of Delaware
have no rights, as yet.
Both Houses, to day, passed resolution = re-
questing" our Senators and Representatives, at
Washington to vote for the educational bills,
| donating the proceeds of public lands to the
| States for the support of public schools. This
| is good move aud one Of the conditions Of
| this distribution Of the public funds will Of
course be that it shall be applied, without dis
| tinction of color, the acceptance by Delaware,
of its share, will solve the question Of colored
schools, quite promptly. J. A. A.
