Correspondence of the Gazette
DOVER, Del, Feb. 6, 1877.
The sixth week Legislature session
opened yesterday afternoon, but as is
usual during the Monday afternoon ses-
sion, very little business was transact
ed.
In the House, after another discussion
in regard to amending the rules, the Sen
ate bill to amend Chapter 27, of the
Revised Code, was passed. This bill
provides for the payment of ten dollars
for each copy of Judge Houtton's Law

previously paid Give dollars per copy)
being deemed inadequate.
In the Senate Mr.. Trademarks bill pro-
viding for the appointment of an Auditor
in the Court of Chancery and in the Or
phan's Court, was disposed of by an in
definite postponment. Afterwards the
Senate had an animated discussion in
regard to the affairs of the Delaware As
sociation for the Education of Colored
People. Senator Ray took exception to
the custom of the Association in paying
their Actuary's salary from the funds
raised by taxing colored people, and of
fered joint resolution providing for the
appointment of joint committee to look
into the subject. The resolution was
tabled, and will probably be considered
to-day.
On Friday evening, John Ingram, a
well known farmer of Cedar Creek Hun
dred, Sussex county, mmitted suicide
Exchanging himself in his barn. with a
halter, which he tied around his neck, the
other end being attached to beam. The
sui eide was of the most determined char
acter, as the height of the beam was not
sufficient to allow any swing 10 his body,
and he was compelled to secure strangula

rope was tightened around his neck.

had become so besieged with applications
for payments on policies in life insurance
companies, that it prayed upon his mind,
aud caused him to labor under the i'm
preston that he would become impoverish

Another reason assigned is, that he was
for years afflicted with running sore on
one of his legs, which caused him con-
slant suffering and annoyance. Deceased

STATE BoSDS-DOYER NOTES, &c.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
OVER, Del, Feb. Z, 1877.
Yesterday was the busiest working
session the State Senate has vet held, the
actual work of that body being summed
up as the passage of ten bills and one
joint resolution, besides several miner
items such as the first and second read
ing of bills.
Among the bills passed was the lengthy
"Act Concerning the sale of Railroads -
which went through by vote of Z to 2,
the negatives being Messrs. Fiddeman
and Ray. The fate of the bill in the
House is very uncertain, as the members
are variously divided in their opinions
as to the actual effect of the bill should
1t become law.
Mr.. Fiddeman also introduced his bill
providing for the redemption of State
Bonds. 1t authorizes the State Treasur-
er to call in for redemption, from time
to time as he has the available funds in
his possession, outstanding State Bonds,
| commencing with the first issued. Due
notice is to be given by the Treasurer OF
the time when such bonds will be called
in. and on all bonds so called in and moi
presented for redemption the payment OF
interest will be suspended.
In the House, yesterday, Mr.. Ware
presented another petition from 1e9
citizens of Wilmington, praying fo,
the repeal of the act constituting q
Board OF Revision for that city. This
is the second petition of this nature
and shows that thepeople of Whining.
ton are determined to get rid of this
useless and cumbersome portion OF
the municipal machinery.
The Local Optionists of Whining
ton are expected down during the
next two weeks, but at present the
members of the General Assembly are
not pleasantly inclined towards the
cold water leaders. The tenor OF
some of the speeches made at last
Sundays meeting, as reported in the
Wilmington papers is not complimen.
