DOVER Del, March Is.
Ae the noon trains from up anl down the
road arrived to-day, til, Lawmakers of Delaware
returned from their weekly visit to their homes
and constituents, and at o'clock, commenced
the eleventh week of the session. IL is supposed
that they will adjourn sine lie sometime next
week, unless 1t should happen TO freeze up again
in the meantime.
QUITE LIVELY TINE
occurred in the House, this afternoon, when
that body went into Committee OF tho Whole
the school bill. Speeches were made pro and
con by Messrs. B ggs. Nuwland, J. w. Phillips,
Broadway, and Learned. Considerable coutu-
sion epsued and finally the bill was amended,
making tue Secretary Of State, instead of the
Governor u member of The State Board of Edu-
cation Also makug the salary of the county
superintendent $500 per annum, instead
$1,000 which in tue opinion of the maj jority was
considered ample pay for their services.
TOMORROW, THE FINAL VOTE
on tie much talked of State Aid bill will take
place i'll the House, when it is expected that many
advocates OF the proposed Aid will be in Dover.
Every day for the past few weeks, when It was
reported that the bill was to ieceive considera
tVnr members of the different Changes in this
county, generally turned out ill full force.
What the vote OF the bill will be it is hard to
say. 1t will undoubtedly pass the House, Kent
and Sussex being unanimous in it's favor, but
when it goes to the Senate then it will bave
a close lun.
MIR. sirP, WHOSE VOTE
would no doubt decide the contest still remains
sick. Mr. Green, a member of the House, who
resides near Mr. Sipp, said to-day that he would
be unable to be present again during tho sea-
sion that lie had the rheumatism TO badly that
1t was impossible for him TO wear a shoe. There.
fore, IL seems, the question will be decided by
the vote Of Mr. Fiddeman. II he votes III favor
of the Aid the vote MIL stand yeas to nays /;
il he votes against it the vote will stand yeas
to nays, which will of course kill the bill. He
beng Director OF the Delaware railroad, it is
feared by fricuds of Aid, that he will vote nay
WE DO NOT HEAR MUCH TALK
of county division just now, but no doubt it will
again wax warm after the Aid bill is disposed
OF. As the members from New Castle county
are SO united against advancing the interests OF
Kent and Sussex counties, by giving aid to their
railroads, 1t will not be surprising If the mem-
bere from the lower counties refuse to give any
increased representation TO New Castle in any
form. 1t is fact acknowledged by all, that New
Castle county should have All increased repre-
sentati1n by such plan a. the majority of the
people of that county wish.
