SIGNS OF INCREASING BUsINEss-Nc-
TIcEs OF NEW BILLS IN THE HOUSE
PERSONAL, &c.
-,nrrosnondence of the Gazette.

Correspondence of the Gazette
DOVER, DEL, Feb -, 1877.
Another week of Legislative session is
fairly under way, and, so far asthe House
is concerned, bids fair TO be the busiest
yet experienced. This fact was eyidenc-
ed by notices given Of the introduction of
seven new bills by various members.
One of these, entitled San ac. for the
protection of Minors" is of very impor-
tant character, and covers deficiency
which has been amatter ofinconyenience
and oft-times positive loss TO many per
sons for years past. Ii proviaes that
guardians, when appointed ;otake charge
of the property and affairs of minors,shail
be required securely invest all trust funds
coming into their possession, saving only
enough from such investment, from year
to year, to meet the actual expenses of
the persons for whom they are appointed
guardians. 1t also provides that they
shall present their accounts, yearly, to
the Orphans Court, and that the trust
funds held by them shall be first lien
upon their own property, so as to secure
the funds so entrusted to them, in case OF
the financial embarrassment or failure OF
such guardians. The bill is generally
approved. and will undoubtedly pass.
The Southland divorce case is still being
actively discussed in the House, and the
presentation of the wife's version of the
d .fficulty has had the effect of dividingthe
opinions of the members and rendering
the discussion more spirited. 1t is prob
able that the lady will come down to Do
yer and personally urge her case upon the
attention Of the members.
Ex-Attorney-General Jacob Moore,
James Bradford, Esq, of Wilmington,
Col. Edward Martin, of Seaford, and Hon
Charles q. Stockley, late Speaker of the
Senate, are on visit to Dover. Repre-
sentative Hall, of Milford, who was alb
sent during the greater part of last week,
resumed his legislative duties yesterday.
The Capital Hotel, under the efficient
proprietorship of Mr.. Stephen Lewis, still
maintains the good reputation it acquired
at the opening of the session, and is now
one of the most popular hotels Of the
State.
Col. Nicholson, of the House, who suf-
fered considerable annoyance from very
sore foot during the earlier weeks of the
session, has now entirely recovered. SEN
ator Causey is recovering very slowly, ,and
still experiences considerable inconven-
fence from his sprained ankle.
| The members of the Committees ON In
surance Supervisioneof the two Houses,
are now considering the measures presen-
ted by the various assurances companies
of the State for the appointment of an In
surance Supervisor, and several other
matters pertaining to insurance matters.
Three or four bills have been presented
for their consideration, and the aim Of
the committees is to report some bill
which will best meet the varied demand!
Of the different localities of the State.

II is somewhat remarkable to find the

1t is somewhat remarkable to find the
Board of Trade called together at this
time. Most persons had supposed that
organization was defunct. While the
gentlemen who assemble at its call will
doubtless receive all the attention that
their respective individual opinions will
deserve we doubt whether the theories that
may be advanced under the cover of the
organization will meet with favor.
If they are free from partisan bias they
will have to bear the scrutiny of solid
facts, and will be entitled to considera-
ton.
We are in favor of a reduction of the
taxes of the State. We think it can be
safely done; and hope that the rate upon
merchants and manufacturers will be cur
tailed one-half, if it is possible.
We like the idea of taking up our State
bonds too; and hope that the money ac-
cumulated in the State Treasury will be
used at the earliest period for this pur-
pose.
But We think it would be preferable
now to reduce the State tax to continu-
ing it for the payment of the debt. This
would seem to meet the public expecta-
ton, and relieve to some extent the pres
sure upon trade.
We would prefer to see our State out OF
debt-would meet the scriptural injunc-
lion, "Owe no man anything" but then
It is so easy to put the State in debt again,
that we fear the fact of its being out Of
debt would be an excuse for loading il
with bonds again. We do not see that
the tax is burdensome, but believe il
should be made lighter. Such actor
NAY advance and invite manufacture!

For the Gazette.

Mr.. EDIToR-The argument used by
tie men who formed the Republican party
in order to get rid of slavery and the
laws protecting it under the condition,
was that the thing itself was an evil, and
they claimed the right to 60 behind such
laws, though they had been in existence
And now forsooth One of the Judges
appointed by this same party, when
asked, or rather required to correct an
evil not having the sanctity of the con.
stitution, but caculated to break down
the purity of our elections, he tells the
people che cannot 60 behind it," Does
this man believe that such decision will
satisfy the public mind no matter what
may be their politics? 1t he does so, he
is too poor judge for any people loving
the truth and equity, and may live Ions
enough to know,

The New Orleans Times says that
when Gov. Wells was canvassing the
returns he was a regular walking ar-
senal. He always had two rcvolvers,
a knife and French rifle cane. The
cane was rather a curious weapon in
its way. 1t had fine steel barrel and
carried one cartridge. " ellis was al
