DOVER Feb. 3.
It really does seem as il the Legislature was
never going to get dono with its little game of
loggorhoads in..apponting n librarian. The ap
pontmont of the State Treasurer and State Aud
tor did not half the strife that this little
900. salaried Office does. The Senate votes for
C. c. Fulton, and the House just as determined
" votes against him. and so we go see-sawng
along with no hope Of settling tho little vexed
question, which will in all probability yet be
left with tho Governor.
THE ATTACHMENT LAW.
The House having refused to concur in the
Senate Amendment TO aet the law exempting
wages from execution attachment apply to the
whole State, tho Senate yesterday morning re-
ceded from Its amendment and allowed the bill
to become u law but applicable only to New CAS-
tie county So we have now done with the at.
tachment law for this session.
