The Legislature Among the Oyster
Dredgers-COurt House RemOudt.
Special Correspondent ce OF the Gazette.
DOVER, March, 20 1879.
There has been pending before the
Legislature for some time past several
bills in relation to the oyster trade and
its interests. The most important is that
to reduce the taxation imposed on dredges
which is So per ton OF burden OF each
craft employed. This bill, which reduces
the tax to the sum of 81 has passed the
Senate and Is now in the hands of the
Revised Statute Committee Of the House.
Another act OF nearly equal weight is the
act providing for the planting OF snub-
posts along Mahon's river for the protec-
tion of oyster boats.
The latter bill is one that will prevent
great loss to the dredger and owners Of
dredging boats in tine of storms. Ma
hons river, as is well known, is sort of
harbor for craft engaged in gathering
oysters. Here perhaps from fifty to
seventy-five, and sometimes one hundred
schooners, find harbor. stretching east
tor several miles is a tract of country
lying very low, and when fierce easterly
storms occur these low lands are over
flowed, the boats are torn from their
anchorage and drift far inland, where they
are left high and dry when the flood SUBJ
sides. This was the case when the un-
precedcnted storm of last October drove
no less than thirty vessels high up on the
marsh.
Recognizing the Importance OF these
measure. and knowing the Sta e's inter
est in the oyster trade, the Legislature
yesterday, adjourned at noon and spent
the afternoon in a trip to Mahons in
order to look into the stale of affairs, so
as to be able to vote more intelligently
upon those subjects.
THE CoURT-HOUsE BILL.
Very active and earnest are the efforts
Of the Wilmington citizens in favor OF
Courthouse removal. Agoodly number
came down last night to take care OF the
interests of the measure. Very little
more can be added IS to the way the
matter stands further than have writ
ten. Tomorrow afternoon will decide
1t, and that won't be long to wait.

are but exceptional cases of constitutional

cure, and none they will not benefit. Ihey

FUSION MISUNDERSTANDING
Representative Rowell Corrects One OF


AUGUSTA Dec. 22.-The following was written
by Representative-eleet Rowell of Hallowell:
'My attention has been called to report of the
Indignation meeting in Hallowell on Saturday even
ing last, in which occurs the following paragraph:
"Representative-elect Rowell of Hallowe1, (Rep0
afterwaTd threw another firebrand into the meeting
by saying that he had been shown the returns by the
Governor and Council and they had given him every
courtesy possible for the careful examination OF
them. He had no fault to find with that honora-
BILE body"
Everyone who listened to my remarks ON the
above occasion possessing the least fairness OF Judg
ment will agree that my denuncation of the action
of the Governor and Council in the counting out
fraud was full, explicit and in accord with the
speakers who had preceded me. By request re-
ferred to my interview with the Governor on the
day previous to closing the examinations OF the re-
turns respecting the disfranchisement OF Hallowe,
and said that personally had been respectfully
treated, but that my entire sympathies were with
those who had been SO basely defrauded of their
rights and denied the privilege of examining the re-
turns until after the verdict had been made up and
when no amendments would be entertained. no
tice the Argus report merely toshow to what extent
detached remarks may be seized upon by sympa-
thizers with the giant fraud to fasten an entirely
false impression upon the public mind.
