THE TRrBuLArIoNs OF STATE AID-MAKrNG UP THE
SCHEDULES AND SMASHING THEsT-PooR SHOW
FOR AN AMENDED SCHOOL BILL.
Special Correspondence Of the Commercial
DOVER, Del, March 10.
State Aid was the absorbing topic, here, yes
terday. large delegation OF gentlemen from
Smyrna, and along the proposed line Of the Bay
Shore Railroad, were here working in its inter-
eets. The slate has been made up several times
and as often smashed. The last making up gave
the Georgetown & Delaware Railroad s150000
and the Georgetown & Seaford road $50, 600 for
the Bayshore road 800, 900, and for the Queens
town and Harrington road $4,000. 1t will be no.
ticed that this parcelling gives equal share to
Kent and Sussex. This disposition did not how
ever suit the member from Seaford who wanted
S75 600 forthe Georgetown and Seaford road, and
if he did not get it he threatened to defeat the
whole bill. Another makeup was then determin-
ed upon to please the Seaford momber. when
member from Kent, living near the line Of the
Queenstown and Harrington road, agreed that
$4,000 might be taken and put to the Seaford
and Georgetown road, which would run its allow
ance up to S65, 900. Still this did not suit the Sea-
ford member, and so the State had to be aban-
doned, until another was made or until other
counsels prevail.
The lobby, during the afternoon, was filed
with anxious watchers, but nothing unusual oc-
CURED except little tilt in the new school bill
which had the
LIFE TAKEN OUT OF 1T
in short space of time. The House resolved
itself into committee of the whole to consider
the school bill, with Mr.. Pyle in the chair
Messrs. Biggs and Baldwin took strong grounds
against creating any Superintendents, either State
or county. Mr.. Holcomb and Mr.. Learned favored
State Superintendent while Messrs. Nowland
j. W. Phillips, and Broadway made able ad-
dresses in favor of the bill as it came from the
committee. An amendment to have two super
ntendents was laid on the table, and another to
have one Superintendent followed in the track
of the first, and finally, when the vote was ta-
ken on the whole section without amendment,
it too was lost when the committee arose and
the House adjourned.
This shows but poor prospects for change Of
the school law at this session. =. H.

Resolref That the chairman OF this meeting
be and is hereby instructed to forward these
resolutions to the Legislature now in session at
Dover.
Pending the adoption OF the resolutions,
some confusion ensued, few Divlsioni:ts who
had gone into the meeting with crowd of boys,
calling loudly for John O'Byrne and making
other demonstrations, but when the vote was
taken it was in united voice which could not
be mistaken, but swelled loud and full through
out the hall A few negative votes were given.
The meeting adjourned early with three
hearty cheers for New Castle County.

and CROSS examined at great length, was one of
the many who wanted to know what Tilton ex-

aim of the defence was to show that at that time

The Board OF Trade and DivIsIo on.

The Board Of Trade by its nominal association
with the division scheme, has brought itself un-
der severe criticism as having travelled out of
it's proper domain-business into that of poll
tics. Col Whiteley gave expression to this
criticism, at the meeting, last evening. 1t
should be said therefore, that there were not
ole-third the members Of the Board at the meet
ing which endorsed division that the discussion
of the proposition thereat was largely by persons
who are not members and that il it were now
brought up, in meeting composed Of members
only, it would no doubt be quietly laid on the
table. The Board has always heretofore con-
fined itself to its Legitimate sphere of action,
and may be depended upon to do 30, hereafter.

The opposition to increase Of taxes was never
more reasonable than now. IL it were ever so
desirable that the county should be divided, this
s not the right time to build new court houses
and jails, and lay fresh taxes on the people. 1t
is hard enough to pay those which now nee
essary.
Wilmington daily commercial., 1875-03-10

The Republican, which had, until then, pre-
served so impartial an attitude, saw yesterday
that division is condemned by the people. 1t
then said
Among them lsgners to the call for the
meetngl are some of the most influential men
IN the county, and we infer from the opposition
which has been developed that the movement in
favor Of division is a hopeless one-that the cit
lzens believe that it ia better to submit to the
p esent inequality in representation than to di-
vide the county"
The concluding remark is not justified. The
people do not submit to the existing inequality ;
they want it remedied. But they don't want the
county divided just representation is matter
independent of that, entirely. The assumption
that it can only come by splitting up the county
is misrepresentation Of the case, intended to
lead the people into county division, by their de-
sire for representation.

Oats Horse Feed.

It is a very general belief among our
people that for horses or mules required
to do farm work, no food is as nutri-
tive as corn, and that it is impossible to
keep up the stock" on any other kind
of grain. This is a great mistake, how
ever. am satisfied from a long and
careful experience in the management
Of draft animals, that good, sound oats
are by far the most nourishing and
wholesome food for either horses or
mules on O plantation, for the reason
that they are more easy of digestion,
are less liable to sour, are more easily
assimilated than corn in any shape.
For instance, I never saw mule
or horse fed on good, clean oats trou-
bled with collie or hatulency. 1 allude
only to good, clean oats. II they are
musty or mouldy they are the worst
possible food, and will produce the
worst result but If they are sound and
about four or five months old, 1 am pos
tive that no other food is as good or
possesses the combination of healthful
and nutritiye qualities as they do, no
matter what the work which the animals
are required to do.
A horse or mule doing very hard
work may be allowed to eat as much as
he will without injury. He should have
just a little good hay or fodder in addi-
ton. For an animal doing light work a
less quantity may be given, and good
condition will be kept up if they are
ground coarsely and mixed with chop
ped food and sprinkle6 with a little salt
and water.
Corn is the most expensive 81 SIX food
that we can possibly use. Oats are
| cheapest and most easily raised. Even
were corn as wholesome food as oats,
the latter are preferable in an econom'
ical point of view. But were the cost
both equal, should prefer the oats as
the more conducive to the health and
serviceability of the stock.-Farns and
