Mr.. Silver made a strong speech in
opposition to adopting the report.
He said that NJ, Given, at the time
he put in his NiA tor the building Of the
Court House, wa. so peculiarly situated
rs to have access to such facts and cs-
timatcs rs would best enable him t.
judge fairly and correctly as to the cost
Of the erection ofsuch a building.
Moreover, il WAS the opinion Of quite
a number OF capable architects and con
tinuc to he SO since, that the Court
House could AMI ought To be built AT n
cost covered 10y the maIimun sum
stated in III" appropriation.
And again, had not the first bids
been rejected and til" sccona taken,
til" Levy Court might be- sitting to-day
in n much tiuer aud more scryicrahlc
building, on certainly in on" erected
1T n less cost. Speaking Of tn" excite
ment prevalent and attendant upon the
bill during the time that IT. wits
before the Legislature at Dover,
he Haid it was a significant fact
that those very persons who had SO CON
tidrntly and 50 auth pritativcly fixed the
maximum cost at that time was the very
first to 90 before the same Le-iSlatur"
at it last session ana uljliutivcly plead

agreeing as they desire, that h&d Given
performed his work economically and
efficiently, was entirely du" to th"ir
miSraIcuiationS and awkwardncS'. He
closed with IL reference to the question
of establishing a precedent, and said
that by thus allowing this claim Of Mr..
Given u precedent exc 4eding.y danger
OuS to the Levy Court wuuId be estah-
liShcI, aud that it's practical effect
would he to render all future county
contracts Of no more account than or
binary waste paper. That he had un-
dcrSlood on good authority that three or
iour claims Of a siuiIar nature were be-
lug held in allegiance, awaiting tho re-
salt OF this claim.
The report WAS thus adopted by the
following strictly party-vote. Ayes,
Wirr, Morrison, Wells, Taylor, Polk,
and Bright--6. Nays, SharplrSs, Eli
son, Silver, Mahatty and Fobigcr-5,
ALITTLE BREEZE.
Mr.. Wier in explaining his vote said
that lie understood that the kcpubH-
cans had agreed to make political
thing ont Of voting against the claim.
Mr.. Mahatfy took note Of this, and af-
ter the vote had been announced, replied
TO this assertion. ".A4 a Democratic
member had forced politics into this"
said Mr.. Mahutfy, Il will explain for
the ediIicatrn of the other side, ,one little
incident what has taken place since this
claim has been pending.
Mr.. MIhatty went on to say that n few
days ago his father had been approach
ed by II prominent lawyer Of Whining
ton, and had been assured that, in case
his son Should vote for Alr Given $
claim, he, Mr.. Given, would rccipro-
cate the favor by :L3 once turning Re
publican. He said that the court might
draw theit own conclusions from these
facts, and might settle among them
selves whether or not he hlh been ap-
preached for the purposr of influencing
his vote, He w;ts sorry that the
question of politics had been intruded
at all. An animated debate followed.
