PENINSULA CONsOLIDATION-Att the Press
Convention dinner in Wilmington, recently,
the consolidation of the Peninsula into one
State was toasted and the responses to the
toast were all in one direction-in the sfirma-
tive. Such unanimi.y was unlocked for, and,
coming from the source it did, has greatly
revived the interest in this scheme
But the sentiment as strong as it was, was
greater III appearance than in reality. This
Convention, in this its first meeting, was more
of mutual admiration society than business
gathering, and the after dinner speeches, made
at the Clayton House, as usual on such ocea
sions. we're touched with fancy" Around
the board the sentiment wae unanimous. NJ
opponent of tho measure would break the
spell and spoil the toast.
Since the editors have retired to thei
sanetums We find, however, some of them have
something to say on the other side. The Ceci
Democrat and Chestertown Transcript (bott
represented in the ConVention) dissent from
ths position, and perhaps others. Talks at tn,
banquet table are not therefore, the mos
favorable standpoint from which to juds
public sentiment.
l. is quite evident, however, that opinion
constantly strengthening towards consolidation
Every association and society that unites ii
forces into Peninsula organization adds to it
strength and importance: indeed many O
them could not exist by State lines If, then
religious and other bodies on the Psninsul
gain strength and influence in union why woul
not the Peninsula itself? In social, bushes
and religious sense we haze to consolidate
then where is the propriety of being divide
geographically only way we ara divided
Aud this division is as unnatural as it
unnecessary.

The Legislature.

DOVER. DEL, Jan. 18th, 1875.
Although the Legislature has been in session
five days not a single bill bas yet passed either
House, though quite large number, some of
which are very important have bsen introduced.
There seems to be a general lack of such
small bills as relates to the laying out and
Strengthening of roads, improvement OF bitches,
and draining Of marshes, as formerly early in
the session pestered the Legislature. If these
and divorce bills are kept out, thsIs will be
nothing left but for the members to attend to
the more wsighty matters Of legislation and
60 home in tiIae TO attend to the early spring
plowing.
The standing committees were announced
by Speaker Holcomb as soon US the House
assembled on Monday afternoon.
If the interests OF Smyrna are not well
attended to this session, it will not be for want

COMMENDABLE BENEvOLENCE.-For some
time past, j. Taylor Cause, OF Wilmington, one
of the principal members of the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Co., has been noticing the scanty
and poor quality of the yictualsused at noon by
a large number of the workmen who took their
dinner along to the yards. Withoutany consulta-
tion with the firm, he, on his own responsibility,
provided cook stove and necessary culinary
apparatus and had them placed 10 building
in the shipyard. He then got about dozen
plates, cups spoons, salt cups, &C., together
with large lot of potatoes, biscuits, coffee,
sugar and other articles, which will be cooked
aud prepared by a colored cook of experience
Each man who remains in the yard at noon
time will thea be provided with warm cup oI
coffee, potatoes and biscuit which, in addition
to what tho men bring with them, will enable
them to have better NEAL Commercial

Resolutions were introduced in the Senate
of Virginia on Saturday, requesting the
Governor to telegraph to the Governors
of other States and request them to convene
their respective Legislatures to consult respsc-
ting the late interference of the army Of the
United States with the Legislature of Louisiana
and determine what is necessary to be done TO
defend and preserve the independence and
autonomy of the States. The resolution gave
rise to long and spirited debate, leading
Senators opposing the proposition that Virginia
take the initiatory as a State in so grave .
matter. 1t was the general opinion, however,
that protest ought to be adopted against the
action of the General Government in Louisiana,
with an expression of sympathy for the sister
State. The subject was finally made the
special order for Tuesday afternoon.

SMYRNA LIBRARY.-Th annual report of
the Smyrna Library Association is publish ed
elsewhere, and shows q most gratifying exhibit.
The institution is not only free from debt but
has surplus Of nearly forty dollars in the
treasury. Itis somewhat encouraging to the
literary taste Of. our community that such an
enterprise is so literally supported. Libraries,
as rule, have precarious existence, and are
rarely self-sustaining. Much credit for its sue
cess is due however to the energy of the retiring
Board, aud especially to Mr.. Stockly. the re-
tiring President, who declined re election.
For the eight years Mr.. S. held that positi on
he gave q strict personal oversight to the
institution, and manifested an interest in il
second only to his own personal affairs When
he was first elected President, in 1867, there
were only 55 subscribers, and only 74l volume.
we're taken out during the year. Last yeai
there were about l40 subscribers, who took out
nearly 2600 volumes. The books have increased
from ITO volumes to 1880. Mr.. S. has con
tributsd largely to this growth and prosperity
Keeping the Library supplied with nev
books has been its greatest source of prosperity
In contributing to this end Dsn'l B. Cummins
Esq, of Philsdelphia has besn most largel
instrumental, he having contributed, in all
about $500 to the book fund. Thus many @
our townsfolk, by the small outlay of S. hav
been enabled to read valuable works that woul
not otherwise have been accessible to them
Many of our young people, with means to
scanty to purchase the books they desire, hav,
through the benevOlence of Mr.. c., been place
within reach of much of the best literature th
country could produce.
