TIoN OF sALARIEs-TIosE POLITICAL
RESOLUTIONS.
LoBBY OF THE HoUsE, DOVER, April 9.
Both Houses met early this morning,
and with but slight intermissipus re-
manned in sessions until late this even
ing. Nearly all the measures before
either branch have been disposed Of and
little else save action on the report of the
Joint Committee on Accounts aud the
adoption of a resolution adjnuruing sue
die remain The report of the Commit
tee on Acc 'ui Is is looked forward TO with
much interest, a. It las been given out
that the amonnts allowed journal clerks
and other Off ers Of tie L. gi-lature at
the expiration nj former s, ssious will nc
greatly reduced This year. do not look
for any reduction, either general or
special, in the compensation allowed
those officers By previous Legislatures.
Nids' resolution d nounciug summers
supplemtary civil rights bill and those
whom il is intended TO ben fit, aud pledg-
ing the uH1apging opposition of the
Democratic part, of this State to the
social and political elevation Of the
negro race, came up this afternoon and
passed BY lar'y woe. To this more
| than imbecile resolve Mr.. Hutchinson
| offered the following amendment which
be desired adopted as its preamblei-
"WHEREAs, Horace Greeley is the father
Of negro emancipation and n gro suffrage,
and we, his followers, and to whom we
gave our support six months ago, do
earnestly ask the passage OF the follow
! lug resolution"
No sooner had the Clerk finished read.
ing the preamble aud before mol 10
ADOPT had been made, the Government
contractor gained the floor and moved to
Law il on the table. OF course this mo-
ton was adopted, and the eminently
proper amendment Of Mr.. Hutchinson
unceremonlolsly disposed Of Many OF
the wise and discreet OF the Democratic
party here, der ounce this childish folly
OF the would-be leaders and moulder'
Of public opinion, and argued that
their party will have to pay for this piece
nj tom-foolery by the small fries sent
here as Legislators II hardly seems
credible that man Of the small calibrt
of wilds could muster cheek sufficient te
thus mark out a policy which the Demo
cratic party Of this State are pledged, by
the vos of their Representatives, Il
pursue In the future, But Mr., W. doubt
less, has Il very high opinion Of BIZ
sagaelty aud wisdom as a party man
some others may sgree with him bui
the majority Of the Democratic party
because OF this bill, leave the course the.
pursued last fall, and acc pit platform
/ so ridiculous and undemocratlc.
The bill increasing the salaries Of Thu
. Judiciary of the State passed the Senate
this afternoon aud Is now awaiting en-
rollment. Al one time the passage o
t this bill was very doubtful, but matur
! delib.ratiou convinced the Legislator
= that the small salali,s Of these importan
e officers shoa be increased and a fai
compensation allowed them for their ser
vices. No measure passed this white
was more worthy Of the votes Of goo
7 Legislators than his.
- Both branches will adjourn sine d
3 sometime durigg Friday. The House 4
night agreed to adjourn on Friday mol
