| Especial correspondence of the Gazette.
| DOVER, March 10.--Another of those
amusing and fruitless attempts to prevent
the reception of new business was made at
| Yesterdays session. DR.. Crawford intro
dnced resolution to the effect that no pri-
Vate new business be received after March
3D. The Senate amended the resolution so
| as to exclude all business, sent it back and
the House promptly non-concurred.
| DIR. Watson presented to the House yes
terday petition signed by IS oystermen of
| the State of New Jersey which sets forth
that the signers were the pioneers in dredg-
| ing and planting oysters In the Delaware
bay and implies modestly that if it he'd not
| been for their efforts the oysters would have
| lived there unmolested. They ask that the
| Legislature repeal all laws discriminating
| between resident and non resident dredgers;
that it pass laws giving them all the advan-
| taxes now within the reach OF citizens of
this State, and authorizing them to stake
| out, take and hold 80 acres of Delaware's
planting ground for each boat owned or con-
trolled by them. The request is regarded
as very cheeky one.
