whorter for the improvement Of the
St. Georges Marsh $500, is to be
given to the Dragon Marsh Company,
50, 900 to the Cedar Creek Marsh Com
pany to conciliate the members OF the
Legislature who represent those locai'-
ties. II will lie noticed that no bid has
been made for Senator Cooch's vote and
the proprietors of the Iron Hill mines
will have TO trudge along, without
lottery aid. Mr.. Lambson too, who
needs conciliation more perhaps than
any other member since the loss OF the
court house at New Castle, is entirely
overlooked, as no proviso has been
made for repairing the river banks be-
tween tha. town and Delaware City.
This however Is an oversight that can
easily be remedied should Mr.. Lamb
sons vote be needed. We have also
failed to see any bid for Mr..
Riggs vote, but when the lin" comes
and he is disposed to vote for the bill
he can command his own price. VI
course Messrs. Sharpl.y, Ware and Dor
an are to be satisfied with the 10000
for the new Court House and with what
little comfort they can extract from the
Delaware college sop, but should the
Brandywine Senator desire something
for IL. Improvement OF the Cherry L.
land Marsh company, Mr.. Francis n.
Rogers Of New York, stands ready, hat
in hand to comply with any demand.
But We do not think the young Senator
iy made of such pliable stuff. Kent
county with its terrible load OF debit
and defalca alton to the State, amounting
| in all to abou. SIS. .0oo, is to be lifted
out VI its difficulty by an appropriation
Of $4,000. This is Q Wholesale bid for
the votes Of the Kent delegation and
the Junction 4 Breakwatsr Railroad
company is to be helped to ~, 900, to
conciliats the Sussex member As II
this were not sufficient, the Breakwater
and Frankford Railroad company ,is also
to be helped to $4,000, and when
4. IL kn.Tn that these companies owe
the State those amounts, tAis bid tor
votes becomes Of general Importance.
Besides all these, Mr. Collins is to have
a special sop for Smyrna Of $4,000; Mr.
Hall, $4,000 for Milford Hr. Sharp,
sG GOO for Camden Mr.. Conway, waf
introduced the bill, $4,000 for Lsip'ie
'and Mr.. Needles 5000 for Telton, and
all to be expended for school purposes
Mr.. Houston ia to have $4,000 for th'
schools Of Lewes Mr.. Hopkins $4,000
for the Milton public schools Mr.. Con
away, of the Senate, $4,000 for thu
Georgetown public schools Seatord ii
to have $4,000, and Laurel $4,000
( with which to build q new schoo
, house. Broad Creek is to be improved
to the amount of &c, 600, and the com
, missionrrs are named .expend th'
money. II any Of the members OF thu
, Legislature have baen sighted by hav
, ing no offer of purchase, they can b
. accommod ated by making 1t known l.
3 Mr.. Rodgers, to whom money seems
be no object, so that be is granted til
privilege of setting the wheel OF for:nn
in motion in Delaware.
Tn. people will watch Will
. anxious solicitnde the progress @
= this bill in the Legislature. We nigh
4 a. we'll say plainly that no membe
: who votes for i. will be regarded lik
{ the virtue of Caesars wife-abov'
e suspicion. 1t is not creditable to tn
q House that the bill should have bee
o introduced and read second tim
a without opposition. A few years age
( we think in ISL when a bill OF lik
: character was introduced it was prompt
g " killed Oh the first reading. We can
9 not think though tina: our Legislator
e vill'so far forget the duty it owes to tn
. State in the protection Of the morals
the people as to pass it. Our peopl

strongest protests possible against il
