of New Castle county Justices of Peace
was in town last night, aud showed Sent
tors that II was really necessary TO th
health of their pocket-books that the bill
repeating the attachment law should be
voted down in the Senate. This is simply
disgusting. They evidently wish to per-
petunte the attachment law that they may
oil their pockets at the expense of the I'M
fortunate and, indeed, this ls their only
argument.
eenator Watson evidently deslres to re-
solve the body of which he is member
toto a saiaried political club.
THE morning he introduced the follow
ing, which was postponed until the AFTER
noon session and then referred to a special
committee.
The resolutions are considered in rather
bad taste, but they were treated with re-
speet out of regard for their venerable
author, who is a man of venerable idea
indeed. The result of his labors is as
follows -
WHEREAS, At the last session of Con-
gress bill was introduced into the Senate
of the United States the object of which
was to force upon the people of this
country social equality with the negro
race by making 1t penal otiense TO ex-
clude negroes from public schools, church
es, railroad cars, hotels, places of amuse-
ment, even extending to public cemeteries,
the passage of which was only defeated
by the strenuous opposition of the Demo-
cratic members of Congress and
WHEREAS, We learn with regret that
the bill has again been called up at the
present session OF Congress aud
WHEREAS, We believe every person should
have the full privilege Of selecting those
with whom they are wiling to associate,
without committing an offence against
law. and that the attempt to force social
equality is an infringement upon the liber-
ties of the people therefore, be Il resolved
| BIZ The Senate aud House Of Representatives.
Of the STATE Of Deldi0ars IL General assembly
met. That our Senators and Representa-
lives in Congress be requested 10 vote
against the passage of such law and use
all honorable means to defeat said bill and
all others that may be introduced having
a like tendency Of degrading the white
race by bringing 1t down to the level OF
the negro race.
81. That we pledge ourselves to the
white people of this State to use all the
power delegated to US by the people to pre-
vent negroes from entering our public
schools. our churches, occupied by white
people, our Jury boxes and our public
offices, and we will In no way aid in fore
ing the social and political equality of the
negroes upon the white people of this
State, which is so earnestly and pereist-
emily advocated by the Republican party.
Sd. That a copy of these resolutions be
furnished TO each Of our Senators and
members of Congress.
Whew No doubt Mr.. Sumner will be
considerably embarrassed when he reads
this in the STATE JOURNAL. The honora'
BILE Senator from Milford is easier since he
gave birth to the above, and blandly smiles
when Il is referred IN in his presence. He
: labors under the impression that Delaware
has more than one representative in thu
popular branch of Congress. l trust thu
3 resolution will be corrected that Mr.. VIZ
false impression may not get abroad.
