Special Correspondence Of the REPUBLICAN
DOVER, March S.-The careful purs
ing Of the wrath Of Mr.. Jones brough
/, up 10 such degree of warmth tha
1t broke ont In the House late thii
Afternoon, and made things decidedly
interesting. The Lewes and Rehobott
member, and those OF his colleagues
who were eager In their advocacy o
the idiotic Tilden resolution OF last Fri
day, smarting under the structures
which the Republican newspapers hav'
ma 10 upon their action, determined t,
have revenge last Monday when they
came here. Naturally enough, the frs
objects which appeared IN which Il
vent their spleen we're ths correspond
ents of the RRPrBLicAE and Morning
News. A caucus was held and, urged
on by hsngers-on around the Stats
House, 1t was decided to expel thes,
gentlemen from the floor. Those who
we're most active in bringing about thi:
decision, in addition to Mr.. Jones, were
Speaker williams and Mr.. Cshall.
Mr.. KoBiNsoE's Gao LAW,
Well the wrath was nursed until to.
day, when Mr.. Robinson arose and
offered the following resolution which
vas wsll-caloul&ted to raise breezes.
WHEREAS, The House has by resolution
extended to the reporters of the various
papers OF this State the privilege Of a
seat upon the floor OF the House, for the
purpose of reporting the proceedings
and
WHEREAS, Certain OF said reporters
have net confined themselves to the
legitimate and proper exercise Of said
privileges, hut have, on different occa.
sions, transcribed the said privileges
by improper and uutruthtul criticisms
of the mombers of the House in their
correspondence therefore,
Resolved, That any and every of such
reporters as shall in their reports or
correspondence refer TO any member OF
this House by name or inuepdo, where,
by such member may be alluded 10
other than ID necessary and proper in
reporting the proceedings, shall be ex.
cluded from the privile ges Of the foor
and lobby, and 1t shall BE- the duty OF
the speaker OF the House to See that
this resolution is enforced.
Here was deliberate attempt to Esg
the press, and Mr.. Cahall seconded Mr.,
RoblnsoR's motion to adopt with an
JUNCTION which led to the thought that
his antipathy to newspapers and books
was natural and not of recent growth.
PaSrroSBEEST AskEb.
Mr.. Bradford obi ected to the cnnsid.
sration OF the resolution TO. iay and
asked that under the rules il lay over
until tomorrow.
Mr.. Robinson replied that he had no
desire to press the resolution. "lts a
proper oue," said be, IAN you know Of
he attacks an improper allusions
that have been made to certain OF the
nem bers." (Here he waved his hand
IN mournful sort of way toward Mr..
Jones.) 81 think the resolution suits.
don't propose to expsl the young gen
tlemen from the Aoor but hey must
stop this thing Of criticism"
Then up got Mr.. Jones, the deeply
AgSrieved. He had a speech in his
hand, and he proceeded 10 read 1t
sadly and mourntully to read it. And
this WAS the way he commenced "Mr.
Speaker, when left my home to come
here last Monday left behind NE a
WIFE AMI EIGRr CHILDREN.
On my character depends theirs, and
il has been cruelty assaulted" He then
vent on to say that the table, intelli-
gent and highly educated" reporter
who had made this attack should feel
highly elevated in attempting to shape
he course Of the Legislature, and h.
would ask Of this Honorable Body the
Of asking the aforesaid able,
Intelligent and highly educated a few
| ue5tions.

IND Mr.. Jones sat down. 1t was a mes

What do you suppose the Cieik had to

ion itself, which had caused all tb.
