inSon introduce q resolution which III,
rest sat down upon, and to influence WIN
Paynter Jones to execute q war dance
before u newspaper man during the ses
sion anathemas till his shrill voice
cracked with rage In this effort Il
CRAFTY personal spleen at the press ioI
Just criticism. Speaker Williams only
showed the ridiculous pretentiOns of a
political STRIPPING, and having sadly
iniscalculated his influence and disgust
cd his constituents he can now retire
the rest of his life to the Seclusion The
insurance Office grants
on EDUCATION
the Democrats Of the House were some
what divided, and the assistance Of T.
n. Williams and one or two others en-
abled the Republicans to do good work.
Led by Peter Robinson, a majority OF
the Bourbon side were always opposed
10 giving the schools any aid The
Indian River misrepresentation efforts
on this subject were only eQualled by
his endeayors to shield Derrick Morris
the MillsborO justice from trial and to
make divorces as free as the air But
in this he was not alone. McN"al fol
lowed him, Jones was with him all tn"
TIM and Mr. NanBurkalow, " no priled
himself on philanthropy and TnecitueSs
and everything that was beautiful and
fair got up when the colOred school bill
WAS pcnding and declared that the
money would be used by the Republicans
tocolonjle the State with negroes The
sam" nrcludicr against education,
though not as a general thing tUsuch an
extent rs upon the Colored school ones
ton, prevailed on the Democratic side,
and but for the Republicans tn" impcr-
feet and poorly y-provdcd-to system Of

sadly cnrtailcd.
REPRESENT ALTON.
! Upon the subject OF representation tnr
New Castle county according 10 popu-
lation, the Democrats showed up again
in their true ligh. Mr. bradford $ reso-
luton, which called for merely an ex-
precision OF >entimont that the present
representation in the Legislature was
not equitable and was far from being in
proportion to population, WAS soIidiy
voted down, and the Democrats Of Kent
an Sussex went tairl Y on record against
giving New Castle her Just demands.
Cahatl Of keut, a blatant domaE0glc ~
all times but possibly more frank IN
ConlcSsing the rascality utthr DcnoCra-
tic side in which he glor,ed than any
other mernb Der of the House, buststed at
the time that 1t was true that New Cas-
tie did not have representation in pro
portion TO her population: he was glad
it was SO, and the Democracy of Kent
and Sussex counties, of which he was
the Representative, did not mean for
her to have anything Of the kind Ar
If 10 add force to his boast during the
rest Of the session the Democrats took
their own views Of New Castles affairs,
and no matter what that county
asked they opposed and defeated, II the
Republicans opposed it, they voted it
through with the same unanimity.
Thus through the entire session the
Democrats set at naught all right Of
New Castle county, gave her no choice,
and did all in their@powrr 10 make
themselves offensive to her by opposing
her interests.
THE TILDEN RESOLUTIONS.
II was William Paynter Jones, Is.
children and wife constitute his
family, and his age is 81 years who
WAS the clown OF the session. When
swelling with patriotism and indigna-
tiun he got up on March 4th and offered
the famous Wldcn resolutions, doclar-
ing the Sage Of Gramarry Park to have
been lawfully chosen President in 1876,
cUndcmnng Hayes az a usurpcr and
blackguarding Garfield for being a
party to the fraud" am now going
to give you little pircG Of news III CON
nccti1n with this that is not general Y
known. Chancellor Salisbury was tn"
author Of these resolutions, at least h"
originated and knew all about them, |
and he sat in the State library with a
messenger running to and fro during
the debate, to tell him how the fight
went, while the two John SaulShurys' |
sat on the floor, and John +. prompted |
Cahall i'll his reply to Mr.. Bradtord's 4
indignant speech. Because the RErUB-
LECAN correspondent pointed ont what
n stupendouS Ounce Jones had made |
of himself, and, to explain the character |
of the man VINO thus Indignantly repro
batcd fraud, related how this same
Jones had threatened to resign if pay
m"nt Of his party assessment was in
sisted upon, he raised n great cry, got |
foolish old Robinson to introduce an eX-
pusiUn resolution which he knew
could not pass, and indulged in a whole
lot OF other ridiculous proceedings, the
chief OF which was questioning the
writer upon the floor and bowling with
forty jackaSs power about his white
hair, eight children and other touching
because tn" correspondent re-
fused to answer. The Tildcn rrpruba-
ton was failure.
THE FISCAL BILL,
In the face ofthc protest Of the Re-
publican delegation the fourteen Demo-
Gratis in the House and the eight in the
senate, ,crammed down the throat ofthe
city OF Wilmington the bill to change
,he fiscal year the sole object which is
% assist the Democratic city govern I
nent TO masquerade as economical
managers. 1t was u purely financial
matter and the Democrats who had not ,
1een possessed Of the courage to levy
axes enough to carry the city from
April 10 July came here with bill to :
allow them to borrow $4,000, which
vas not to be paid ont Of the taxes of !
hat year but loaded equally over four |
'"ars, and to change the fiscal year in }
he future from January LIST to July LIST. |
The substitute which Mr.. Bradford
'tiered for this bill was a wcll-cOnsid- d
red one, and avoided all the defects Of '
he Fiscal bill as well AZ possessing all
is good features and embOdying others q
which it did not possess. 1t was to al l
ow the borrowing money for this year v
O bridge over the gap between April c
md July, but this must be paid out Of u
axes for the same year when they a
ONE in, and provided that tax collcc- u
ion should commence on April after II
SSl, and payment induced by an easy y
liding seal of discount. The effect Of y
his would be that it would make it u
asier for the poor man, would ensure II
