Dover, April o.
AZ this is the last week Of the present Gener-
al Assembly the House, apparently, is deter
mined not to die without desperate effort to
leave a VIGOROUSLY infamous record, 10 be added
to the many other retrograding features of Del
aware Democracy similar to the whipping post
and pillory. The Watson Wilde Martin bun
combe niger denouncing- white mans' govern
ment resolutions were called up this afternoon
by Mr.. Sheldrake, and were passed by a strict
party vote.
The 'big family" think they have accom-
plished "big thing" in getting the resolutions
through. and true enough. they have. II will
be the biggest IL elephant" politically, that they
will have to contend with few years hence. In
this line, it yet remains to see what the Senate
will do.
Joint Resolution has been adopted by both
Houses, appointing II. s. Enright State Libra
rian. The Salary is fixed at $3.50 per Annum.
and then he is paid, in addition, $1O0 for re-
arranging the library.
The repeal Of the Charter Of the Queenstown
Il Harrington railroad was effected by the Senate
to-day. Mr.. Handy, Of Philadelphia. who was
several times, this session, protesting against
the repeal but all Of no avail. There Ia no doubt
but the road is, or was, one Of those peculiar
frauds inflicted on the rural citizens Of lower
Delaware.
The Senate adopted the House joint resolu-
ton to pay the members in gold or it's eauivi-
lent. just so. Comment is Unnecessary.
The salaries Of the State Chancellor and
Judges have been increased as follows Chan
cellor, from ~, 200 to $2,700 Chief Justice
% 600 to 50, 500 ; Associate Justices, 81 100 to
$4,000.
Both Houses held extra sessions this evening,
but it is a sham too plain to have any effect on
the people at large. The House in q manner,
is entirely out Of business, while the Senate can
tinirh up in few hours all the matters in hand
It is evident that the intention is to make
full week this time. 1T is hard matter to
get an adjour nment, while the pay ia three dol
lars day and roast turkey" was the remark the
other evening, by nan 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 MIR. Fountain under
stands how to keep hotel. The following was

ty, quantity, and variety, it will compare favor
