Let ik be abolished.

The interest Of economy demands that
the so-called city hospital be abolished,
and that speedily. 1t has cost the peo-
pie thirty or forty thousand dollars al
ready, and has proven even a greater
failure than the GAZETTE predicted it
would more than year ago, when it op-
posed the purchase of the buildings in
the plainest words Of denunciation. A
House of Refuge will not prove sue
c,ss. Our city is too small to undertake
to maintain such an institution. They
have not been established in quiet cities
like Wilmington until the population
reached two or three hundred thousand
We believe Philadelphia, New York and
Baltimore had much larger population
than that before these cities attempted
successfully to establish a House o
Refuge" Such places like hospital
have usually grown up from small ineep
tions by charitable societies,

STATE SENATORS
Declines the NOHaiHdticn.

The following letter from one Of the
candidates on the Legislative ticket
reached us yesterday afternoon too late
for our edition, and we had only time to
put it in a portion OF the DELAWARE
GAZETTE. We have heard it intimated
that Mr. Bird had not given his consent
to serve, and if that was so it was not
right to put him on the ticket.
According to the rules Of the party
adopted on last Saturday, the County
Convention will have to be called to-
gether again by the President TO fill the
vacancy. This had better be done at an
elrly day.
The only name we have heard spoken
of in connection with the vacancy is that
of WIN. c. LODGE, one Of the most, com.
petent and acceptable men in the coun'
ty. But it is not known whether he
will serve or not. His experience in leg
islative bodies heretofore and his gene
raj knowledge would make him use
full and valuable member:

allowed Mr.. Febiger's amendment last
night to be put instead of the simple
motion instructing the Committee on
Hospital to render q report of the trans
actions of that bad affair. Mr.. Febiger's
motion will enable the Committee to
shuttle out of simple report by mixing
up with il the subject of the feasibility

If there was any point significant IN
the remarks Of Mr.. Fcbiger last night, 1T
was that he desired to be unemparrasscd
in order that he might make the hardest
possible fight against his successor, the
chairman of tho Water Committee. In
+ ,signing from that and other commit
tees he evidently meant to be under

No ono present could fail to notice that
his remark that his whole course had
been objected to and opposed by the
"individuaP' who succeeded him. In
determining not to be a martyr Mr.. FEB
