TIE SHIP CANAL The Maryland & Della
ware Ship Canal bill comes up for final passage
in the Legislature this week-to-day or to.
morrow. Considerable interest was awakened
in this town, and throughout the State, doubt
less, on Saturday, by the statement made by
the Legislators that formidable effort was
being made to kill the bill. In this town a
petition praying for its passage was circulated
rapidly and signed unanimously by the voters,
and the statements made by Messrs. Mustard
and Van Gasken awakened an interest in the
enterprise that has never heretofore been made
manifest.
1t is understood that two prominent citizens
OF Dover, Ex-Governor Salisbury and Hon.
j. p. Comegys have been retained by the op-
ponents of the bill to lobby it to death, for
which service they are to each receive s., 900
And it is further publicly announced that men
all over the State have been bought into this
lobby influence against the BILL including some
of the legal fraternity of Dover not heretofore
named.
Whether the citizens named are selling
their influence against the interests of the
State for the sake of the wages they are to get
we know not; but we do know that the
published report to that effect finds general
credence.
The objections to the bill do not transpire.
The one urged against the size of the canal
has been obviated. The bill now before the
House requires that the canal be IS feet deep,
40 feet wide on the bottom and 60 feet wide ON
the surface
Il is said that ''Tom." Scott is fighting the
bill and furnishing the money to kill it.

OCR SCHOOL SYSTEM Seeing that every
paper III Sussex county, two Democratic and
one Republican, are clamoring for some i'm
proVement in our school system reminds us that
nothing has yet been done by the Legislature
looking to an improvement of our present de-
defective laws. The Committee on Education
OF which, we believe, Mr.. Hickman is chair
man have been letting this branch of needed
legislation rest quietly, until there is but little
time left to them in which to accomplish the
"iS lat l-ht to be done. Not even the
D.. % or petition introduced the first
week OF the session, to allow the colored people
10 levy ana collect tax to support schools among
themselves, has been acted upon. By all
means this class of our population should be
vested with such legal authority as will enable
them to secure the benefits of education. II
should be legal right which they may enforce
not mere question of charity, for which they
must beg, as Is now the case. The school now
ln operation among them in this town was
started last Fall through private subscriptions
contributed to considerable amount, by the
leading white citizens, who, without the leas,
partlzan bias, showed their convictions of right
by the donations they made. Much of the time
last year the sixty or more of colored children
OF the town were deprived of educational privi.
ieges because they could not raise the amount
necessary to defray the expense. Il is dut,
OF the Legislature to secure to them educational
facilities.
But 1t is for enactments that will improve
our general educational system that the people
plead, and have pleaded in vain for years. We
want superintendent, or superintendents. %
systematize our so-called system - we want a
unlform system of text books; we want larger
school fuOd; and we want the "voting down
the tax clause abolished The present law,

THE LEGrsLATURE.-The prospect for an
early adjournment of the Legislature, which was
forshadowed a week or more ago, has vanished
into thin air, and there is every indication that
the session will run we'll into March, if not
through it. We are informed by Representa-
tive Van Gasken that at least one hundred
new bills crammed the "pigeon-holes" of the
House on Friday last, and there is a good

THE BOMABY Hook RAILROAD. In another
column we give a carefully prepared and COM
prehensiYe article relative to the distances, ad-
vantages, ETC., of the proposed Smyrna and
Delaware Bay Railroad or Bombay Hook
Road, as it is popularity called. The article
is furnished US by Col. Douglass, and is par
tlcularly interesting just at this period, in
view of the amendment to the charter, now
pending in the Legislature, to allow the road
TO be extended to the Maryland line.
This article views the proposed road simply

ment. 1t recognizes the great advantage the
Delaware Railroad has been to the State, and,
eschewing all factious opposition or petty spite
towards it, recommends that we secure still
greater advantages by increasing our railroad
facilities that if one railroad has benefited
US so much, two roads will benefit us still more
We had hoped to announce, in this issue,
the fate of the Amendment now pending in
the House, at Dover, (it passed the Senate
last week but it will not be put upon its final
passage until this afternoon, after we have
gone to press. Since the passage in the
Senate, considerable opposition has sprung up
against it in certain quarters, and Senator
Mustard and Representative Van Gasken. last
Friday, informed our citizens of the lobby
influence that was at work to defeat the bill.
a petition was at once put in circulation in the
community, and between Saturday and Mon
day at noon hundreds of our citizens signed
the prayer for its passage. Our people are
unanimous in its favor.

ABOUT RAILROAD FREGGHTs. "A correspon-
dent OF the Dela,0arean suggests that the
Delaware Railroad Company is charging higher
rates OF freight that the law allows. The law
restricts the price to cents per ton per mile,
which IS equivalent to So for Is miles-the
distance from Dover to Observation-Disclosures
the freight on fruit is at the rate of SlO ner
ton fer this distance. The correspondent saws
that such high rates prohibits frcights from
going over the road For instance :"The last
year was very prolific year for apples, ami
the price OF them low, but steady, at about ~
cents per basket in Philadelphia; and hnd the
price OF freight on them been or 8 cents ner
basket, instead of Is cents tens of thousa nds
OF baskets would have gone over said read to
market that rotted in the orchards, total loss
to the owners"
The DGtnmarorn suggests that the railroad
might reduce the freights it it were not liable
to shippers for all risks of delay and accident,
1t thinks that shippers of fruit would generally
prefer to ship at a low rate and take the risk
themselves, arguing, as they do, tIrat their
fruit might a. well be ruined in going TO
market as to remain rOtting on the trees.

TIE REMOVAL OF THE COUNTY SEAT
delegation of the members OF the Bar Asso
citation Of Wilmington, headed by Senator
Bayard went to Dover, on Wednesday, to CON
fer with the members of the Legislature and
urge the passage Of an act authorizing the re.
moval of the county seat from Now Castle to
Wilmington. There was meeting Of the
members Of the Legislature held in the Hall of
the House Of Representatives, which was
forcibiy addressed by Messrs. Bayard, Har-
rington, Lore and Higgins. These gentlemen
advocate the removal rs a matter of economy
:" the county, as well as convenience to the
whole people. Mr.. Bayard says the Interest
on all the county would be required to expend,
would be saved from the extra mileage that the
county was compelled to pay for the attendance
of witnesses from Wilmington" Mr.. Lore
believed that the saving would not only keep
down the interest but in ten years would pay
off the principal" Mr.. Harrington showed
that the amount to be raised outside of Will
mington would not exceed $l5, 500. -Ga.ette.

ATUMULTUOUS MEETING. Dover assembled
IN town meeting on Friday evening, DR.. l..
Jump in the chair, to devise means for build
ing town hall. Things went smoothly enough
until Judge Houston made motion that the
Legislature be requested to pass law enabling
the town to issue town bonds for the purpose.
Between a motion to adopt" and to :" indeG.
nitely postpone the meeting got SO warm that
it had to dourn until Monday night. At the
Monday night meeting the question of indeti,
mite pOstpOnement was again put and carried
in hot haste, and amid a fearful tumult.
An enterpriSng citizen, Mr. w. L. Cannon,
finding that the meeting was too mad to build
a town hall, suggested that new hotel was
needed and moved that the meeting try the
hotel business, but he was voted "out of or.
der, and was compelled to sit down, after Of
fcring $500 to hotel enterprise.
1t was next moved to alter tie town charter,
so that it could build hall, and that was lost.
The meeting, being unable to do anything
on the hall question, aud spelling to do some
thing, finally resolved to aliict the town with
seven commissioners instead of four and sug-
gested that the "pOce" arrest the first man

This was as near to the hall as could be got.

the panel bored out of his store door and his
store robbed of knives, pistols, &C., identified

also found in his possession.
