THE LOCAL OPTION BILL.

The passage, by the House of Repre-
sentatives at Dover, of the Local Option
bill, still continues TO be subject of
general comment among people in this
CT y. The liquor dealers are arousing TO
action, and will endeavor 10 al least se-
cure the defeat oftbe local option bill even
If they have to sacrifice the license bill
they are now urging before the Legisla-
ture. Among people outside of the
liquor interest, opinions vary as to the
effect of the bill many being heartily in
favor of the bill, and others opposing it,
not because they advocate the liquor
traffic, but because they think local OPP
tIop fraud, and do not consider that a
vote against license would stop the sale
OF liquor. The course Of the bill In the
Senate will be watched with interest.

SAGE OF RESOLUTIONS.
At meeting of the PomonaGrange
of this county, held on wednesday
last, the following preambles and res
olutions were adopted
WHEREAS, The farmers Of New
Castle county find that they are heav-
lily burthoned by taxation that is inn
posed on them by their servants, the
members of the Levy Court, Road
Commissioners, whose duty It is to di-
rect what amount of money shall be
collected for county purposes;the most
of which money comes out OF the hard
earned pittance of the farmer; and
WHEREAS, The example set by the
members of the Levy and other
Courts, of sitting FROM three to five
hours per day, and at the same time,
getting for these short hours, from
three to five times AZ much money as
the most industrious iaimer can earn
by working from twelve to sixteen
hours per day; and
WHEREAS, Many of the members Of
the Levy Court, are farmers, let us
ask them, "do they, when they hire n
man on their farm and pay but seven
ty five cents or dollar per day, not
require that such laborer shall work
from sun to sun? If 80, are their ser
vices as members of the Levy Court
worth SO much greater a salary? Did
any one of them, while at work for
himself and on his own farm, ever
think that he earned onc-half per day
what they get as members of theLevy
Court, without including mileageS
Now, therefore, ReSolUed, That 1t Ia
the sense OF this Pomona Grange. Of
New Castle cornty, that the sessions vi
our Superior and Levy Courts should
commence at o'clock a. IN, and con
tiDue until p m, and commence at
p. M. and remain IN session until Pun.
by which means farmers and others who
are required TO leave their business ai
any sacrifice, would not be required "a
leave their business more than half n
many days rs they are now required
and this at rate OF pay that none o.
mem bers of either Court would be will
ling to give even their short hours o.
service for.
Resolued, Further, that AZ the grea
part OF the money raised by taxation fo
both State and County comes frem tn,
product of the farmers labor, 1t is abou
time they not only made their ideas pub
| lie, but they will use all HONORABLE,
means.to make the desired change. A
the farmers are the majority of the voter
they have IL in their power to remed.
the evil complained of and they will ex
| srcise the same.
| Resolved, That this preamble and reso
lutions be published.
