AMENDING THE ELECTION Law.
Especial correspondence OF the Gazette.i
DOVER, Jan. 26..-The Housa yesterday
took step of rather unwise ecoIRomy in the
matter of appointing a janitor fbr the State
House and fixing his salary William
Hunter, az / tele9raphed yesterday, was
chosen, and his salary was fixed at 5000
800 less than proposed by Mr.. looch. The
duties of ianitor are by no mears easy and
require his presence at the Slate House
every day, year In and year out, and about
the only excuse for cutting his pay down
was that heretofore he had been paid the
miserly sum of 500 year There is some
likelihood Of the Senate increasing the ep-
preparation.
Mr.. Belts joint resolution, plevidiug for
sine die adjournment March Ia, passed the
Senate yesterday without opposition, and 1t
now goes to the House for concurrence. Ii
1t is adopted by that body Wllmington's
awful dads will have to hurry up with the
city charter or they won't get it down here
In time to have 1t acted upon. Fly the way,
the antics Of those Lime Kiln club states
men from the Second and Seventh wards are
exciting a good hit of merriment here
among the members, and If tine and Quinn"
were on the Legislative Committee, not
much attention would be paid 10 the city's
representatives when they appeared before
the General Assembly. Fortunate the law
committee is composed OF diferdnt stuff
