TALK OF ADJoURNMENT-LoUIsIANA, OF COURSE
THE FLAG TO BE RAIsED-coUNTING THE GOV
ERNoR's voTE--cURRENT NOTES. 4-
Especial to the Commercially
DOVER, Del, Jan. 13.
Though a week has passed since the Legisla-
ture organized, not bill has yet passed either
House. Business does not press, and the Solons
are not wearing out their constitutions by hard
work.
THE USUAL TALK OF A SHORT SESSION.
Yesterday move was made in each House,
looking to q short session. Senator Riddle
moved to adjourn sine de- on Febauary 4th, and
Mr.. Newland on Feb. 18th. The resolution Of Mr.
Riddle WAS not passed to vote, but that OF mr..
Nowland WAS assailed by Mr.. Houston, who
moved to amend BY naming the aa a1a 81 o. Marca or
nal resolution adopted By Vote OF Il to on a
cali for the yeas and nays. The New Castle
delegation all voted for the adjournment, and
as your correspondent was informed they meant
what they voted for.
SOMETHING ABOUT LOUISIANA.
or course, we might expect deliverance from
the Legislature on Louisiana. Senator Bayard,
rumor says thinks it has been rather slow accom-
ing. However, now we have it MIR. Broadaway,
of Kent, introduced the resolution, yesterday af-
ternoon, the tenor of which you will see by the
regular report Of the proceedings MIR. Nowland
made sharp little speech on them, which did
credit to his ability, If not to the soundness Of
his views. 80 far we have no word that Presi-
den Grant has resigned, in consequence OF the
resolutions.
THE OLD FLAG WAVES.
We do progress. A joint committee has been
appointed, on a motionof Mr.. Riddle-who origi-
mates many good things-to buy and fly the Ma
tional flag, letting it's red white and blue tutter
from the State House flagstaff You remember,
in vain to get the flag displayed in the troublons
times Of the Rebellion, the Democratic majority
resolutely refusing to 30 order.
THE VOTE FOB GOVERNOR.
Both Houses have agreed to meet in joint
Convention to-day at II o'clock A M. to can
yass the vote for Governor, and insure the prop
er certificate of election to the Governor elect,
and Joint Committee has also been appointed
to make arrangements for the Inauguration OF
| the Governor on the 10th instant. 1t expected
that the count of votes will show the election OF
Mr.. Cochran for Governor.
OTHER MATTERS.
James II. Boyce, Esq, of Laurel, lis here can
vassing, apparently with good show of success,
for the office OF State Auditor. After all, Mr..
Johns, of New Castle, will have to look out or he
will be left in the.rear in the race.
Mr.. Bird yesterday gave notice that he would
| introduce bill to repeal tho tax on marriage
| licenses.
200 copies of Mr.. voshell's bill to repeal the
| tax on bonds and mortgages were printed for the
use of the members.
Only two School Districts have petitioned for
stock law, and only one petition for laying out
county road has yet been received. Formerly
their name was legion.
THE NEW KENT co. COURT HOUSE
| The Levy Court met yesterday, the chief busi-
| ness being to receive from the contractors,
Messrs Fisher & Bockman, tile new courthouse.
Mr.. Burnite ono of the five holding over MEM
bers is sick, and could not be present, and as
this left but four old members, and the newly
elected had not been sworn in, the question
arose whether there was quorum, and the
Court finally adjourned without transacting any
business. b. ii.
