that some time ago Mr.. Marshall wa,
waited upon and requested to subscribe
to the capital stock for the erection Of q
new hotel, and refused unless step,
were taken for the repeal Of the law n
relation to the building Of stables, etc
Thus 1t is with many others who woult
no doubt take more interest In improv
ing the place If this. law was repealed
1t is known that one or two gentle
men are ready at any time to cree
handsome cottages If they are given tn,
right to erect a stable in the rear. Tn,
Directors, however, will not accede I.
these demands and will fight all mat
tiers in relation thereto, NO what wal
thought to be matter of no conse
quence turns out to be an elephant, Al
it were, and some filbustring will Il,
doubt be INDUCED in.
A number of Kent and Sussex oyste
dredgers were in Dover today looking
after their interests in that respect, n.
there are several bills before the Legis
lature relating to this matter.
The liveliest bill Of the session thu.
far is that authorizing Thomas w
Wilson to "straighten" q public road
and the meeting Of the friends and enc
mics of the bill last night before the
members Of the Senate was one OF tn.
most spirited as well as the most anus
ing of the entire eight weeks at the Cap
itol. 1t is understood that the commit
tee are ready to report the bill back t,
the Senate, and it would have been don.
to day, but for the absence of Senator
Lavender, who is an enemy of the bill
and 1t was not thought advisable t,
bring the bill up in his absence. AS h.
returned this evening, final action vii
no dOuSt be taken Tomorrow, and tn.
much talked of road will be disposed of
