TIE WORK HOUSE sCHRME

The work house scheme has passed the
House, and has gone into the Senate fo1
approval. We do not know how much il
will cost, what its provisions are, how it is
to be governed, what class of offenders are
to be committed to its cells. In good truth
the people of the State are kept inigno-
rance Of this and other measures. The
mode oflegislation adopted by our legisla-
tors, is apparently devised to mystify, and
keep secret the entire doings of that body.
Unless one has, not only digest of the
laws of the State; but each separate vol
ume Of the laws, it is hardly possible, to
find out what many of the acts mean. If
the present Legislature, would pass law
or declare by resolution, that for the pur-
pose Of truly informing the people, as to
what the Legislature is doing-that all
acts hereafter instead ofbeing mysteriously
stated, as repealing Chapter 100 of Vol.
10, of the Laws..of Delaware, would set
forth what is intended by the act, it would
DO something, 10 release it from its intense
respectability.

GOLD At A DISCOUNT.

There must be something radically wrong
with our financial system. With illimita-
bic resources, and an export trade largely
in excess Of our imports-and hence ex-
change in our favor-our currency is still
not worth more than ninety-6ve cents on
the dollar. II our rulers are unable to
remedy this, some Frenchman should be
imported to show them how to do it.
France issued an irredeemable paper cur
rency in 1s71-its volume was about equal
to ours. ehs was ridden over by Uhlans
and Grenadiers; her towns rifted, and her
fields wasted, and subjected to a war
fine, unheard Of in the history Of military
plunder-withal the depreciation of her
irredeemabls paper, while the flag of the
Commune foated over Paris, and the
Black Eagle Of Prussia at Chalona, ten
leagues away, never sank as low as ours
in these March days of 1S77-half gen.
Grafton after our trouble began. To-day
in Paris one cannot get what is called
irredeemable paper for gold. Bank paper
or Government scrip, for the past three
months, isquoted about one-halfpe cent.
higher than gold. There must be either a
precious set ofplunderers, or blunderers at
the head Of our 6nances,t to have the country
in the slough of insolvency.
