There is general feeling of disgust
peryading the Democrats of this State at
the decisions of the Electoral Commits
sion. Many declare they would have
greatly preferred that the President of the
Senate should have, in the face of usage
and precedent to the contrary, counted
the vote for Hayes, sustained by troops
and in defiance OF the Honse of Repre-
sentatives and without the presence of
the Democratic members thereof. On
mature reflection We think they will con-
clude that the great fraud. evidently pre.
medstdted by the Radical party should be
committed deliberately; and as they have
chosen to do it deliberately and in def
ance of law they themselves prepared
to take and weigh evidence, which they
subsequently, when they got in power.
spurned and refused to carry ont. But a
contract broken on one side is broken on
both; and law that failed to bind the
radicals who made it can scarcely be said
to be sufficient to bind the Democrats, IL
they should see proper to set it aside.

Turkey has made peace with the Ser
vians, who have suddenly developed a
profonnd distrust and dislike of their re-
cent allies the Russi an sand the Eastern
question is evidently about to go through
another transformation. 1t is quite posi-
lble now that it may be safe for our
friends the Russian Grand Dukes to take
the sea early in the spring and go to the
LeVant, if they like, without fear of Ho-
bart Pasha and his iron-claas. In that
case perhaps the English Duke of Edin-
burg will regret that he was SO quick in
resigning his naval rank to avoid Ithe
possibility of disagreeable domestic com
plications.

Dover, Del, Feb. 23, 1877.
While the Senate was pursuing its dai-
ly routine Of business, yesterday morning
the Clerk of the House entered bearing a
batch of House bills, which were left for
Senatorial action. The bills were prompt
ly pounced upon by the members, and
In a short time were called up one by
one dor first beading, For an active
business body the present State Senate
is certainly equal, If not superior, to any
Senate that has assembled in Dover for
years, " e}'''
Yesterday was IRA ilroad day. in the
Senate, three bills of this denomination
passing that bedy. The first was the act
providing for the merging of the New
Castle and Wilmington and New Castle
and Frenehtown Railroad Companies in
to theP. W. s. B. r. r.: Company, and
the others provided for the Incorporation
of the purchasers of the Wilmington &
Reading and Wilmington & Western
Railroad All of these bills, and parti-
cularly the latter two were drawn upon
the provisions of the long "Act Concern
ing the sale of Railroads (san act provid-
ing in general terms for railroad mergers
and for the incorporation of the purchas-
ers of existing railroadsn) which recent
ly passed the Senate and is now in the
House. As the requirments Of the various
railroads are being specially attended to,
it is probable that the general bill will
not be passed. .rI .f.. la-
In the House, yesterday afternoon
Speaker Martin read Washington's Fare
well Address, in very effective manner
The reading was listened to with close
attention, and in view OF the recent law
less and revolutionary proceedings which
the country has witnessed, many of the
utterances in the address seemed full of
prophetic warning and significance. A
vote Of thanks was rendered Speaker
Martin for his excellent rendition of the
address.
Among the bills passed by the House,
yesterday, were the act to provide for the
conversion Of Delaware College bonds
into certificates of Indebtedness, and the
actto provide for the redemption of State
Bonds, both Of which have been fully
explained in this correspondence.

INVESTMENTS Our OF TIE STATE
Senator Ray cas- offered bill, which con-
tains the following clause
"Citizens Of this State. residing in the
county Of New Castle, and owning or
bolding securities for the payment OF
money, stocks, or other investments out
side of this State, shall not hereafter be
subject to any taxation with respect to
the same, except at the rate of ten cents
on the hundred dollars ON the assessed
value, tor State purposes only, which
shall be assessed and collected in the
manner now provided by law for the as
seSsment and collection of county rates,
and when SO collected shall be paid by
the Treasurer of New Castle county to
the State Treasurer for the purpose afor.
said. s.y'U ear'.s.,.'.
Section 2. This Act shall take effect
Immediately after its passage.
Section 8. All Acts, and parts of Acts,
inconsistent with this Act, be and the
same are hereby repealed, made null and
void"
This bill should be passed. The pres
ent heavy tax operates badly in many
respects. Capitalists are sometimes Sept
out of the State in consequence. A man
having large investments elsewhere vino
desires to remove to this State, it may be
10 reside in White Clay Creek, New Cas-
lie, Wilmington or Brandywine Hun
dreds, and he finds that all his invest
ments are Immediately taxed at the rate
of As or so cents on the 500 besides be-
ing taxed elsewhere, and he hesitates.
He can't make the change in his invest
ments and he abandons the idea OF. NOV
ing into Delaware and stops at Chester,
perhaps.
Again, not third of the men who
hold such investments pay the tax. The
conscientious men do so and the rest re-
fuse to give them in. One man told us
he knew a gentleman who held $4,000
out Of the State That had never paid a
dollar oftax. We hope the bill will pass,
andthat the tax will be reduced according

Congress-.

In the U. 8. Senate: yesterday, the
Naval Appropriation bill was consider
ed, and the amendments of the senate
Committee. increasing the appropria-
tions, were agreed to in committee of
the whole. Bills were passed remov-
ing the political disabilities of l.. S.
Baker aud ID. II Hill, of North Caro-
lima, and John 8. Marmaduke, of Mis-
souri,. A message was received from
the President, enclosing the report of
the Northwestern Boundary Survey.
Mr.. wallace, Of Pa, presented q re-
solution of the Philadelphia Board of
Trade, in favor of the establishment
OF temporary colony near the North
Pole, for scieHtitic purposes. The
Seuatc bill amending the Revised
Statutes in regard to proof required in
homestead entries was passed. Mr..
Mitchell, of Oregon. called up the CAT e
OF Conrad U. Jordan, Cashier of the
Third National Bank of New York
who had declined to answer certain
questions propounded by the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections, and
to produce the bookG and accounts Of
Samuel j. Tilden. " illiam L. Pelton
and A. 5. Hewitt. The return being
read, Jordan was brought to the bar of
the Senate and presented a statement
denying any intention of disrespect, AS
sefting that he had voluntarily ar =
peared before the Committee; declal :
ing that the President of the bank,
John W. Ellis, was the custodian of
the books and papers, and the proper
person to produce them; and decliuing
to answer the questions of the Com
mittee without the advice OF counsel.
After long discussion Mr.. Jordan
was allowed to make another state
nent, when he said that he was now
prepared to answer any proper ques-
tions and explained that he had declin-
ed to answer because. having come on
to testify, he was arrested. A resolu-
tion offered by Mr.. Ingalls,, of Kansas,
was then adopted, discharging Jordan
from contempt. The Senate then re-
sumed consideration of the Naval Ap-
preparation bill, and it was passed,
with an amendment striking out the
clause providing for commission TO
consider the future naval policy of the
country. The bill granting the right
OF way to the Hut Springs Railroad
Company through the Hot Springs
Reservation in Arkansas was passed.
After an executive session, in which
b. M. Marble, of Michigan, was con-
nrmed as Examinsr-in-C Chief of the
Patent Office, The Senate took a recess
until this morning.
ln the House, the Sundry Civil Ap-
preparation bill was considered in
committee Of the whole. Pending its
consideration, the committee, on mo
tion of Mr.. Clymer, rose, and Mr.. Civ.
mer then moved that a recess beiaker
until morning. The latter motion
! created some excitement, the genera
understanding being that it Was in
tended to stave off any furthern actor
In regard to the electoral count, as
rumor had reached the Hall that tn,
Electoral Commission had decided ad
Versely to the Democrats in the Ore
gon case. The Republicans demande,
she yeas and nays, but the motion wa
carried by vote of 130 to 1C9, twent,

cans in the negative.
