Special correspondence Of the REPUBLfcAH
DOVER, Feb. l1.-Mr. Register, of
Kent, volunteer Democr attic representa-
tive for New Castle pro. tempors,
showed up in the House this morning
as the narrow minded and unfair par
tisan hs is, when his bill to amend
the act regulating the expenditures OF
the New Castle County Levy Court,
was read a second time. have talked
about this bill before. One OF It's chief
provisions is to repeal the section in
the act, the amendment OF which 1t
contemplates, which makes it lawful for
the Levy Court Of New Castle to pub.
lish an itemizsd list of the monies ex-
pended by that body. In this respect
the bill is as objectionable 80 the peo-
pie OF New Castle county as the conduct
of Mr.. Register and trainers OF the bill
is impuleut and insultingly presump-
tuous toward the New Castle members.
What right has Mr.. Register TO become |
the father Of suCh an SCI What eE |
cuse cau he offer for such parliamentary |
insult to the New Castl6 delegation :
And what he did was an insult, g. sDub
and breach Of even that kind OF par
lismentary etiquette, in which the
average Kent and Sussex member
prides himself.
As soon as Mr.. Register moved the
reference OF the bill TO the committee
lon Revised Statutes Mr. Townsend OF
New Castle objected. "The bill,"
Isaid he, "concerns the tax payers OF
New Castle county exclusively, and as
the New Castle members have not been
consulted in the matter, | move it be
referred TO special committee, consist
ing OF New Castle members. 'But it
was of no avail; Mr.. Register carried
his point, and his motion was passed
by strictly party vote. OF course
the action Of the Revised Statutes com
nittes in the premises is not ques-
ftioned but all the circumstances show
that the Democratic side would have
been entitled TO much more respect
had Mr.. Townsend'5 request been con-
stdered.
