DOVER, DEL, Marsh 10th, 10.
Matters in both Houses are very
calm. Nothing disturbs the smooth
surface OF legislative action. Stock
laws and ditch embankments have
jumped again into prominence, and un-
til the railroad bill or the more absorb
ing matter of court house removal takes
possession Of the legislative mind, 1t is
likely they will continne so.
ADJOURNMENT LOOKED FOR.
To-day it was very fine. The soft
sun 5 very magnitizing and rejuvena'ing
every energy OF animal life, has a peeu-
liar effect upon the average Sussex
member, this instence the lassltude that
effected every bone in the aforesaid
member was suggestive OF longing
desire on his party to be upon his ma
tive sand hill. OF this sand hill in the
town of Dover attending to business,
which he for the cite of him cannot de-
termipe the use, Is entirely incompat-
able with his idea of duty.
He wants to get home, and conse.
quently, in accordance With that idea,
the others will have to prescribe and
re press their ambition, and be willing
to leave the unlegislated upon ditch
bank and the much prosecuted bovine
Of suburban districts. Two weeks
more will be cons umed in clearing tho
calendar.
THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE.
The question of its removal is sui
being agitatei. Senator Sharpley is in
defatigable, and Representative Ware
with all the influence which be is capa-
BILE Of, is working up a healthy senti-
ment. 1t will be called up tomorrow
for its third reading in the Senate, 50 1t
is said; and some hold that as the New
Castle county delegations are, 50 will
the success or defeat of the bill.
As for these delegations from present
Indications they appear to be hopeless
ly divided. Senator Sharpley is the
only one in the Senate known in its
favor. Senators Cooch and McWhorter
= are non -committal. The only opinion
that can be arrived at from them as the
former persists in seeing the advantages
of having it built on the Summit OF
Iron Hill o.: the latter asseverates with
equal force Of garument that it should
be erected at Kirkwood.
This is mere humor Of course but
! it evidences the strict desire on the
part of those gentlemen to keep con-
: ccaled for the present the true state o.
their feelings upon the matter. IL
the House MIR. Ware comes out in it'
favor strongly. Representative Lamb
= son of New Castle is working agains
it. Mr.. Doran leans decidedly toward'
. its removal, while Representative
, Collins, Riggs and Cochran ar
/ non committal and consequently open t.
conviction.
3 The Speaker is in favor Of its beinl
: erected at Wilmington if built at all
but the objectional point in this line o
thought is as to whether the people ar
+ ready for increased taxation. U. 5
: District Attorney, William C.Spruance
= Ex-Sesretary Of State, Ignatius Grubb
and Mr.. James Bradford are in town ant
= earnest in their endeavors for the sue
: cess of the bill. How they will succeed
; is matter of conjecture.
