ELECTION OF CITY orFIoERs-PRosPEoT OF A aREr-
TYsQuABBLE OVER THE VARIOUS petitions
Special to the Commercial.
New CASTLE, Del, March 22.
Our people are beginning to look around them
for suitable candidate to elect to the high and
honorable, il not lucrative, position Of first May
or OF the new City. When it was known
that our charter had passed tho Legislature,
many eyes turned toward p. D. Vandever, ESQ,
but that gentleman peremptorily declining, 1t
has become matter OF moment whom to select.
It ia said there are several aspirants for the
office, and the probability is there will be several
candidates. The Republicans, it appears. do
not intend to make II ticket, but want the Demo-
Gratis to give them two members of Coun-
Gil, and City Treasurer, while the Demo-
Gratis are to tako the Mayor, three members
OF Council. aud City Collector, thus putting in
the field q compromise ticket, and one watch
both parties could support. This would present
| the anomalous sight of Democrats being elected
| to office by negro votes, and would be pretty
piece Of business for Democratic city. Tie
| election is to be held tho second Tuesday in
| April and the way things now look unless the
| two parties make each their own ticket in the
regular way, there will be some pretty squad
| bling, as those who are excessively anxiout
| for the high honor, do not seem to come up Il
the requirements in every particular with those
whose special duty it seems 10 be to present :
ticket, while those who ought to be presented
to the people for their suffrage, decline the

PROBABLE ADJOURNMENT ON FRrDAY-THE ARcHtF

Special Correspondence Of the Commercial.
Dover, Del, March "a.
1t ia now generally understood that the Legis-
lature will adjourn sine die on Friday, though no
definite action has been taken by either House,
except the suspension OF rule 10, and the mett
ing OF the House yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock in order to hurry up the busi-
dess. Yesterday was another busy day in
both Houses. The bill meant to pay Archie

but with all provision for Archies relief struck
out, and its action made entirely prospective.
Even then, Mr.. Baldwin earnestly opposed it,
and five votes were cast in the negative, on its
passage.
THE ooLoRED SCHOOL BILL
This was disposed Of, yesterday, in quite q
different manner from what WAS expected.
Messrs, Houston and Fraim fought the BILL at
every step, and while tho amendment to
exempt Sussex county from its provisions was
pending, it WAS feared by Mr.. Nowiand aud
others that it was best to adopt the amendment
and save the bill to Kent and New Castle. This
however, J. W. Phillips of Sussex, objected to,
in which objection no was Joined by his col.
leagues, Mr.. Conwell and Mr.. q. II Phillips, and
the amendment was defeated and the bill passed.
On the origiI al bill, Messrs. Baldwin, Biggs,
Rowland and Broadaway.made effective speeches
for colored people.
THE BILL PROVIDES For U
the Low Court assessing tho property and polls
Of colored people 80 cents on 800. The tax is
to be collected by the regular collector, and paid
to the County Treasurer, and by him paid to the
Treasurer of the Delaware Association for the
Moral Improvement and Education OF the col
ored people, and by him distributed to the res.
pective counties in proportion to the number Of
colored children. The treasurer is held in q
bond of $4,000 for the faithful perfor-
nance of his duties. The bill has been reAt
| twice in the Senate.
Another little bill came up In the House yes
terday afternoon. condensed into very few word
but having
| VERY BIG MEANING
1t was simply to change 1880 into 1870, an
| proposed to amend the law which provided 10
q distribution OF the school fund to the reBpec
tive counties on the basis Of tho white populs
ton of 1890, and make it the white populatio
according to the census OF 1870. The Kent an
Sussex members were too sharp to allow this
be DONE and the bill was defeated by all til
Kent anc Sussex members, except q. II. Phi
lips voting against it.
Another tilt took place on the bill to excel
Sussex county from the provisions OF the
EXEMPTION LAW.
Messrs. Houston, Fraim, and g. Fl. Phillip
worked hard in the interests OF a few merchant
saures, and constables. The BILL however, WI

Dover, DEL. March "a.
Our Democratic Legislature has had no such
shock, during the session, as 1t sustained yes
teriay, by the appearance in the corridors Of the
Capitol ola
LOUISIANA coLoRED DEMOCRAT,
who wished IAN audience with the isegislature!,
lie walked backward aud forward, in the en-
trance hall, a good while before any person
would approach him. He first inquired for the
Secretary OF State, but that amiable official be-
ing absent, no was willing to sec the members
OF tho Legislature, who. for their part, were
most decidedly devoid OF anxiety to meet him.
Yea and it appeared that he wanted to address
the Legislature, too. Well here was
PRETTY KETTLE OF FISH I!
However, here he was, and it was presently
sscertsined that he had good and sufficient ore
dentials from we'll known CONSERVATIVES" Of the
South, fully vouching for the uprightness Of
standing in the Democratic party, aud recon-
mending him to tho kind consideration OF tho
Democracy Of the Union generally, and Of Della
ware in particular. Finally rs it was evident
that
THE PREposTERoUs AFRICAN,
OF Southern origin had to be disposed OF in
some way, Senator Ray heroically took the matter
in hand, and collecting together number OF the
MEMBERS and proceeding to the library room,
beckoned to the black stranger to follow. In
all went, and the doors closed to what there &C.
cured.
IT HOWEVER LEAKED OUT
that he was in search OF pecuniary aid, to holp
to carry on the Democratic campaign against
the Republicans Of Louisiana. IL il not known
what success he met with, but it is presumed
the whole situation was talked over and plans
laid for . grand Democratic triumph. 1t was
noticeable however, that the name "nigger" 30
freely applied when lie fret appeared, had
changed at the end OF the interview, to the ex-
preston that lie was ''not bad looking darkey
after all !"
WHERE THE coLoRED GENTLEMAN WENT
ia not known, but he did not go sooner, faster
or farther than the white mans Democratic
Legislature OF Delaware wanted him to go.
II seemed to be singular coincidence that he
should appear right after the passage Of the col.
ored school bill, over which eloquent addresses
that sounded like those Of Republican mem
beers, had been made in the morning,
tie echoes Of which had scarcely died away.
