The Butler Literay Society, colored,
met last evening in Z. Zion NJ. E.

troduced, and the late Grand Jury
was attacked on account Of the report
they made to the court. The pro-
gramme Of the anniversary opened by
singing hymn, followed with prayer
by Rev. G. O. Felts; chorus; reading
Of the amendment bS Mrs. William E.
Grihnage; hymn. Addresses byAnnie
Brown, Rev. VIM. +. Butler and Rev.
3. +. Hood. The addresses of Revs.
Butler and Mood, consisted chiefly of
an attack upon the recent report Of
the Grand Jury After the addresses
the following resolutions were adopt-
ed -
While 1t is not the purpose OF this
meeting to give undue importance TO
any set OF men, who, in the exercise Of
their duties a. jurors, (seekiug political
notorietyl, would presume to prescribe
US, by a gratuit jus lecture on public
morals, ~ If they were the keepers OF
onr citizenship.
Resolued. LIST. That we would briefly
remind Them that their opinions in re-
gard to us as class, amounts to nothing
so far as we are concerned either one
way or the .other. We acknowledge
that In free country like ours they have
as much right to be fools as any other
set Of men; that their bettsrs, or their
superiors in point of wealth, moral force
or brain callbre, here and elsewhere, Of
all parties and colors, Of every race,
decent, think differently, that their re
port Is quite OH cious in so far as Ii re-
fers to us M class.
Resotvsd, I'd. That IL is beyond the
jurisdiction Of any authority derived
from the people any whore In this coun.
try TO make laws for q special race; the
laws are made for men, not for races
The oolored people are constituent
part OF the community, and they have
no right to refer to them in any way ex-
cept rs constituent part of IL, and any
opinion or special lecture from the
grand jury to "colored people" % n
class, on morals, to the contrary
depends on the merits Of their opinion
and correct know ledge of their duties
and Jurisdiction as jurors.
RasoIUed, ). That We grant them the
charity of our silence, when we remem-
Der that they must have seen the vices
OF others through their own glasses.

ignoring the rights aud feelings of the
ctizens of Delaware, as though they
we're the vassals and seris of the city of
Baltimore. That we OF Delaware must
be overrun with the dIegs Of the world
10 attempt TO make ship canal of 25 feet
OF depth II water,al almost inpossibilty.
have lived to see the making OF III, Cheas
peake and Delaware canal. That Is only
mere ditch as compared TO this propos
ed ship canal. Persons and property was
not safe for miles near this said canal
and with only about the depth of 8 feet
of navigable water there is three miles
that has cost about one million dollars
per mile, aud If it was depended and dug
out TO the depth Of 25 feet navigable wa
ter would probably cost 20 millions of
dollars per mile for three miles. The
Locks at st. George have been told
cost 100000 dollars. 1t is think 1S0
to 200 feet long 26 feet wide and twenty
feet deep
Now l would call the attention of you
gentlemen. For plain matter that
will throw some light on this ship canal
project. Suppose you wanted a well
dug. (Then Mr.. Townsend goes on
elaborately to prove that the whole
value of the real and personal properly
wouldn't pay for building this canal, and
then proceeds) which if could be made
would introduce twenty or thirty thou
sand of the most abandoned wretches of
the earth, the piIlage, rapine and fire
and depopulate large portion of Della
ware to please the foolish whim of
proud city of an adjoining State for Del
aware has creeks and railroads and said
canal would add nothing. AS live and
own property within II miles of the
Sassafras Route and a new route might
be selected through three of my farms
that border on the Appoquinimink

bors' name, and of the people of Deia-

When the local option bill passed the
House 1t was r. ported that the Senate
would amend it in such shape that the
House would refuse te concur and thus
effected the defeat of the measure.
Whether this result will follow or not
remains to be seen. The liquor men are
deslrous OF the defeat of the Senate sub
stitute, deeming it even worse than the
original Local Option bill that passed the
House.
In the House. this afternoon, the joint
resoiutioQsreducing the interest on the
mortgages held by the state against the
Junction & Bre lkwater and Breakwa-
ter & .FIankford Railroads was consider
ed aud laid over until tomorrow, when
1t will be finally acted upon. There
seems to be no doubt of Its passage, as
several members who were at first op-
posed 10 the proposition heartily favor it.
Since the State has decided to refund its
debt at 4 per cent. interest, 1t is deemed
but just that IL should allow the same
concession TO its railroad debtors In low
er Delaware.
The pilotage bill still attracts much
attention and the impression is fast galn-

the State Of Delaware should henceforth
