Gen. Sheridan suggestion and demand
are alike atrocious. They stand alone in
their monstrous blood th:rstiness in their
defiance of law, justice. humanity, and the
Judgment of mankind. They seem tosug

state AMI giving its revenues and honors
up to the control of alien adventurers, less
respectable than the ireebooters who once
made the Gulf their headquarters, when

Mr.. Pyle introduced bill to amend
an act incorporating the Philadelphia.
Delaware Il Charleston Steamship Com
pany, which was read twice and referred.
He also introduced bill to regulate the
sale of patent rights, which was read.
On motion OF Mr.. Houston, the Senate
bill to incorporate the Bockenbrick
Ditch Company was. read third tune
and passed.
h Mr.. Baldwin wanted New Castle coun.
-ty excepted from the provisions OF the
act for the destruction OF hawks and
owls, and read a letter from a gentle
man in New Castle county stating that
the hawks and owls were useful in the
destruction of mice.
Mr.. Fraim could not see why gentle
men opposed this bill. The women Of
Sussex county especially wanted the bill
passed, for it was now impossible to
raise poultry.
Mr.. Disgs thought the bill could do
no harm il applied to the whole State,
and he Thought there were two good
reasons why the bill should be passed
for SUSSEX county. One OF those rea-
sons was that the people should be pro-
tected in raising poultry, and another
reason was in the interest OF humanity
and religion, for ministers OF the gospel
will not stay where there are no chick
ems.
The bill was finally amended SO as to
exclude New Castle county and passed.

County DiCisiO7t.

In reply to this question our old friend
Samuel Townsend, Esq, we think draws
toe sharp bead" on The members Of
the House OF Representatives from this
county. We call to his mind the fact
that good and true men Of both politi.
cal parties outside Of the Legislature
woro divided upon the subject. He is
too gallant aud open warrior in local
politics to single out Representatives
who cast their votes against county di.
vision, honestly believing they discharg.
ed their duty to their constituents. 1t
must be borne in mind that the question
Of division did not enter tho cam paign
in which they were elected; and it takes
time to convince people Of the necessity
for taking such new and extraordinary
steps-for such the division Of the coun.
ty must ut least be considered. Nor has
the question been fully discussed. We
further call his attention to the fact
that while somo of his friends approved
Of the measure. others, none the lie. s
able and sincere. opposed it, and this
diversity Of opinion runs through both
political parties. For instance, we have
only to mention the fact that We find
favoring it Messrs. Chas. B. Lore, Geo
Gray. WIN. s. McCaulley, /. G. (irubb,
John o. Byrne. George H. Bates, John H.
Rodney. WIN. Herbert. WIN. Reynolds,
VIM. Dean, VIM. c. spruance, Benjamin
Nields. Henry g. Banning. and rumor
says Hon. II. F. Bayard. While in the
ranks Of the opponents Of the measure
We find Messrs. Victor du Pont. Hon.
VIM. q. Whitley, John c. Patterson, DIR.
A. II. Grimshaw, James Delaplaine, J.
Poulson Chandler, Anthony Higgins,
Thomas M. Ogle, Henry dupont, Gran
vile Worrell, Washington Hastings
President Of the Board of Trade, r. r.
Robinson, b. F. Frazer, Henry Lstimer
James w. Ware, Washington Jones, Da.
vid Chandler, and A. Given. We can.
not question the honesty and sincerity
Of these gentlemen.
On the one side they are just as much
interested for the welfare of the county
as the other and if either err it is only
because they believe the public goot
demands that they should pursue tn,
course they followed We are confident
Mr.. Townsend does not mean all that h,
says. He is too generous to not qualif,
his expressions when the time arrives
ii ever it does, that his brief letter vii
require further explanation

Compliments to Senator Bauurd

The very able and accomplished editor
of the Baltimore Gasette, one of the fore
most Vi our Democratic contemporaries
pays q very high compliment to the Hon
THos. F. BAYARD, in the issue of that
paper of Monday. We transfer the arti-
cleto our columns. Senator SAULsBURY's
pumeroa sable speeches is also favorably
referred to. 1t is doubtful if Delaware
has ever been more ably represented in
the Senate; certainly it has not Keen
since the administration of that pure
patriot James X. Polk, when Senatorial
chairs were occupied by the now venera-
ble JAMES A. BAYARD and the late JOHN
Nj. CLAYTON. The frequent compliment
tlry references to Senator BAYARD by the
Independent Press in the various sec
tions OF the country, is convincing evil
dence that his high moral tone and patri-
otto attitude in debates, as we'll as his
ability. is making his name very dear to
the people of the Republic.
The N. Y. World Of yesterday refers
to "the Anthony resolution, in opposition
to which Mr.. BAYARD is leading the
Democrats Of the Senate SO gallantly."
While Mr.. BAYARD's name stands at
the head OF a number Of able and in
fiuential Democratic papers US a candi-
date for the nomination for President in
1876, these compliments are such as our
whole State may well feel proud of the emi
nence acquired by her distingui shed citi-
zen, whose life has been one of constant
, labor and active zeal from his very youth
10 the present time. 1t would be hap
py thing for the country, and for all
parts OF it if in the destiny OF affairs
| the mantle OF the Chief Maeistracv
should fall upon shoulders SO pre- e-emi.
nently worthy. and fully competent to
support it with the dignity and the
ability and purity of some Of tho Garlic,
Presidents. 1t would cause u thrill ot
delight to vibrate through the hearts o.
republican statesmen all over the world
as well as home, to witness the Wash
ington Cabinet again filed with sucl
men OF rare attainments as once mad,
the nation respected by the ablest O
European statesmen and such woulc
undoubtedly be the case were the younl
Senator from Delaware elected to tn
high office for which 30 many admirer
Of his great abilities and honest ssnti
ments, have named him.

Winter Gets a Blast.

Our young and enterprising contem-
porary. the Baltimore Evening Ns'es, be-
comes somewhat Of soold on certain oc.
casions, as General Grant and not q few
of the members Of the 44th Congress
have occasion to know. But now that
he turns his batteries on pair OF inex-
orahle tormentors who have been ON the
rampage for the last three weeks none
will dispute the fact that they deserve
all he says Of their disagreeable conduct,
They have evidently made him unhappy
us well as the nass of readers, Our 'se-
rene" friend says: -..... ......
IN HER LAP AGAIN.
We are not at all impatient; in fact we
are utterly Indifferent; but it is our sol.
emn duty to inquire how long this kind
OF thing is to be kept up. We are perfect
ly calm and serene, but why that brazen
Spring will continao-to sit down and al,
low a grey headed. cold hearted, icy boned
old skeleton TO prance in and out OF her
lap, according to his doting whims, is
what We cannot understand. In the
face OF all the prophecies that the back
bone Of winter was broken, here he is,
running the fingers OF keen northwes-
ter under our coats, and curving our
spinal columns as il he was pulling them
| out at themiddle. 1t seemsas il the shame
less coquettc is in league with her frost y
old lover, and has just been decoiving Vi
with her smile until We have assured
each other that winter has gone entirely
when he turns upon US from behind her
skirts and makes us feel as IL We had not
told the truth. But we are perfectly re.
signed. We could choke the old coon till
his heart came out and box Miss Spring
until she learned how to behave herself
properly, but We are not excited or angry
or vexed; our teeth chatter with pleasure
for We are devoted to cold weather, in
deed we dote upon it. We do not fee
the cold ut all and are thrilled with de
light by 1.-THE stubborn, mule-headed
doprav.d old loafrr.
