For the SInJ rnA rimss.'
Improvement of the Creek.

An excellent piece appeared in the S,nyrnA
Times a few weeks since, csncornlnE rhe ru-
moval of the Delaware Railroad from ayt0n
into smyrna, by forming a curve, which was
talked OF years ago.
A faint hope was realized that such might be
the case, but recent events have bahI.hed
that hope, and think it is probable that il
will continue for years to come q mile and
a-half east Of the Railroad, Such will ue tuc
ease unless it is made phin to the Directors
that it will be an advantage to the Stock
holders, as well as the town, to change its
position.
Now, what can be done to increase the
growth Of the town. and to relieve us from the
sxorbitant charges Of fars and freight imposed
upon us by the Railroad Providence has
placed near us a Greek which is more to u&
than the Railroad if properly appreciated
| With pidicicus expenditures it Can be NJ ,de
to accommodate Steamboat sufficiently largo
to carry our fruit, vegetables, and grain to-
market, cheaper than We can send them BY the
Railroad.
The money Earketi is sOdepsessed aa pussC nj, 4,
that it may appear impossible to do any thing.
If we were to depend upon the means raised
here by subscription | know it could not be
doae. Then let US apply to the General
Government to assist US. | understand that It
is already doing for q Creek in the Southern
part of the State what we so much need. Our
shpyards can be made ssrvicesbe to tho
| Government, and our immense ssaboard for 30
small State is worthy Of protection.
These thoughts are brought before the pub
lie with the hope that some one be Ter
acquainted with the subject, will take it in
hand, and make it appear feasible to the public.

THE New Court HoUsE.-A petition is in
circulation in this town, and has been exten-
sively signe l-almost unanimously the
Levy Court of this county to reconsider its re-
solution to erect new Court House in Dover,
and further praying them to make sale OF the
"burat hotel property" recently purchased
there as a sight for said Court House. The
reasons set forth in the petition are the heavy
expense to the county aud the Inconvenience OF
having the Court House SO far from the
county Offices 1t is aledged that for the sum
paid to the county by the State for its interest
in the State House, $4,000, good Court
House could have been tackled on to the
County Building" and such was the design
of the Legislature. The Levy Court ar'
further prayed to sell the site they have
bought, even at a sacrifice, and provide for
Court House by an extension of the Count,
Building. Similar petitions are, or will be
circulated throughout the county, We under
stand.

THE PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE METHOD
OF ELECTING PRESIDENT AND VICs PRESG
DENT.'-The Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections last week met and considered
Senator Morton's proposed constitutional
amendment, to provide a better mode OF elect
ing the President. Without reaching formal
conclusions, the following propositions were
considered:
First: To abolish the Electoral College
Second: The President and Vice President
to be voted for directly by tho people.
Third: Each State to be divided into ss
many districts as it has Repre- ssntatives. and
the candidate having the highest vote for
President in the district to receive the woes Of
that district, which shall connt one Presidential
vote each State to be also entitled to two
Presidential votes ut large, which shall bs
counted for the candidate having the highest
number of votes in the whole State.
Fourth The person having the highest num-
Der of Presidential votes in the United States
shall be President. This will allow President
to be elected by plurality vote.
Fifth: These provisions to 10 applicable to
the election Of Vice President.
Sirth Congress shall have power TO provide
for holding Presidential elections, and to
establish tribunals for decision of contested
elections in districts or States, and make Tegu'
IatiOns to govern these tribunals.

MARYLAND ITEMS.

BY invitation of the Maryland Historical
Society, at its meeting in March, DR.. Samuel
A. Harrison, of Easton, will read a paper
before the Society, on the subject of George
Fox and the early Quakers Of Talbot. p"
Whilst investigating the Annals OF Talbot
county, DIR. Harrison has discovered many
curious facts connected with the early society
of Quakers.
A mule fell, tail foremost, down a twenty
foot we'll at Easton, last week. Some boards
gave wav from under it while it was drinking.
The Star says that whilst hoisting it out it
remained perfectly passive and silent, but as
soon as it found it was safe on terra 6rma
again, it commenced to kick and bray furiously.
1t seemed transported with joy, and hurrahed
louder than any of the party present 1t was
not at all injured.
Burned to Deah.-Miss Celcia Robinson, q
resident of SharptowD, WicomicO county
near Salisbury was burned to death on tho
small house in the suburbs Of the town wher
found she was burned to crisp and the bee
was on fire. 1t is supposed that she wa,
endeavoring to kindle FIRE as she had latel,
returned home, and in the effort her clothing
caught. 1t occurred in the night time, ant
when discovered the denizens of the place wer
terribly frightened.
Another Fatal Accident from the Cdreles
Handling of a G1n.-A few days ago, Capt
George Phillips, of East New Market
Dorchester county, undertook to remove
loaded gun from his battsau, when it prema
turely exploded, the load passing through th
arm, and almost carrying it away. Mr.. Phillip
was alone when the accident occurred, bu
managed to walk to Capt. Sherman's house
where surgical aid was summoned. The los
Of blood had been too great, however, and q
reaction failed to set in, death ensucd.

REPEAL OF THE SALARY GRAB.-The U. 5.
House of Representatives last week passed the
salary repeal bill, which went through the
Senate the day previous. The vote in the
House stood go for repeal to &c against. By
the repeal of this bill the pay OF all officers Of
the Government except the President and the
Judges Of the Supreme Court is reduced to the
same figures it was before the last session. 1t
puts back the pay of Congressman to $4,000 a
year, instead of $500 The bill is salts
factory only in part, however 1t is objection
able iE that it yet prepetuates the mileage
abuse, and revives the newspaper and stationery
allowance for members of Congress- and does
not make the repeal date back to the fourth Of
last March, Hence the members secure pay
up to this time at the rate Of seven thousand
FIVE hundred dollars year by at once drawing
it before the President signs the bill, and IL
view of that they are not to have mileage fO
the present session. Members are said to b
rushing for their travelling expenses before tht
bill becomes law. 1t is suggested that il
view of the restoration of the mileage featur
hereafter it would be well to have that Gu
down to actual travelling expenses, otherwis
the apparent patriotism and economy of tn
members becomes all fudge.
Smyrna times., 1874-01-21

we think would relieve Smyrna quite as ettec,
tively as by diverting the Delaware Railroad
from its course, and for which we make no
charge. to wit: that the Delaware Railroad
Company should get control of the charter OF
Bay Shore Railroad and build that cOntem-
plated improvement on route extending from
Milford through Smyrna, connecting with the
trunk road at or near Clayton. This would
put upon the Delaware road most of the freight
of the neeks; with FredGr1ca' Magnolia, ~, ,
Lebanon, Little Greek Landing, Cowgirl S
Corner and Leipsic as established depots. The
Bay Shore route is an improvement that will
not be delayed many years, and it the Della
ware company do not take it in hand some
other one will.
AS to the motives that would cause the
curve to be made, the DelaWdredn may or may
not be correct; we think, however, the idea Is
given out to forestall any effort the Whartsnby
claimants may make to secure payment for the
railroad lands at Clayton. The whole sum anC
substance of the matter rests there. The
Company do not intend, as President Hinckl!
says, to pay for their property second time
and we think it entirely possible for them t.
reach their object without curving the road.
With reference to the Bay Shore Railroad
we would gladly see it and all other intarna
improvements established, but we cannot loo
upon it as one of the probabilities of the nea
future Our State is narrow, and not yer
thickly populated. The Delaware Railroad
therefore, running through the whole lengt
Of our territory, through the centre of i
pretty we'll covers the ground. TO bull
another road within our borders, parallel I
the Delaware road, would be merely "robbin
,, Peter to pay Paul." and the robbery of Il
one would hardly be sufficient payment
the other. There are railroads that Con
Vanderbilt describes as being built fro
nowhere to nowhere" and this might pro
one of those.
Smyrna times., 1874-01-21

THE RAILROAD CURvE-WhiIc our citizens
build little or no hope upon the talk 10 rail-
road circles about curving the Delaware road
east of this town, there is, nevertheless, a
marked interest manifested in the subject,
simply because it is contamination devoutly
to be tci,hel-if nothing more. Ii is to feed
that interest that we make the following
statement, viz:
Whilst on the train. recently one of our
citizens, Cpl. George ". Cummins, (if we may
be allowed to use names for the sake of being
explicitly met President HinckIey, and in the
course Of general conversation the Colonel
asked the President if there was anything in
the talk about the curve. The President
reply, in substance, was this: swell, sir, the
Company have paid, once, for the lands they
own at Clayton, and they do not propose tC
pay for them second time; should second
payment be demanded there is no telling what
we may do" The reader is at liberty to make
as much or as little out of this as he pleases.
While on this curving question we are re
minded Of the following, from the Dela,Oqrean
which we have had in our pigeon holes for twc
or three weeks. Our neighbor says:
If such an idea is entertained il is becaus.
the railroad people fear that Jay Gould's rail
road will in time prove powerful competitor
ior tho carrying trade Of the region abou
Smyrna. We have suggestion to make which
