Couldn't Buy Him with a Pass,

Uncle Jake Ziegler, the veteran Demo
cratic member of the Pennsylvania House
OF Delegates, is an outspoken opponent OF
the anti free-pass bill now before that BODY,
tie says he will "take everything railway
corporation will give him and vote lust as
he pleases on any bill which may be intro.
duced" He contends, with reason, that il
members are venal they would want more
ana could secure more than twenty passes
would amount to, an | his concl' sion is that
the "bill is only intended as a measure 10
afford an opportunity for some persons 10
pass as retormers before constituents who
expected them to obtain free transpor ,ation
Tor all summer trips they may have arranged
To tuke.'' ~

A Meak-MindedI I.erislatnr.

Apropos of the deadlock in the Ill!nol.
House Representatives, owing to the re
iu-al of Rook, one of the Republican mem
bers, to vote with his party on a contested
election case, telegram from Springfield
told the following story: alt is currentl,
reported this morning that an attempt wa.
apparently made last night by certain Dem
ocratic members and leaders 20 induce him
70 leave the city, and he was taken to the
Wabash Depot, some distance from the
business portion of the city. Two Repub
iicau members followed in a hacH, and after
some words, prevented Rocks leaving. The
latter is said TO have been in such mental
condition as not to he a free agent .,Rook was
taken back to the city and followed about
all night by watchers from both political
parties through various 1isreputable places,
and early this morning both contestants
were claiming Rocks vote"

A Growing Town.

Since the completion of the Southern
Pacific railroad to Los Angeles, the influx
OF strangers is so great that there are
neither dwellings nor stores nor hotels sutli.
cient to meet the demand. There is hardly
a block in the town without new huildings
in process of erection. The suburbs are ex
ceptionably beau iful. Handsome villas ex.
t"nd for two and half miles in all direc.
tions, and each has It's vines, orange trees,
orchard and flower garden. The surround.
ing country is an almost unbroken tract of
vineyards, orange groves and fruit ranches
The American population is of the most in
telligent and cultivated class. Many pro
itssional men have settled there In fruit
growing and wine-making, being attracted
oy the well-nigh perfect climate and the
lear OF falling victims in the Eastern States
to hereditary consumption.

Fletlonss. Of Political sentiments.


In no other country, perhaps, is long and
faithful public service SO poorly rewarded
as with us. In most countries, while pub
lie men blunder as they do here, and as they
must do everywhere, long, faithful and cap
able service is recognized as a reason FOL
promotion to high positions With US the
case is different. AS an illustration, most
Republicans would concede that Senat I
Edmunds is probably the most able aud ex-
perienced statesman in the Senate; they
would concede that he is admirably fitted In
character and ability for the office of Presi-
dent; and yet if nominating convention
were to be held tomorrow it is probable
that Judge Gresham would be the more pop
ular candidate. We know all about Ed.
munds; we do not know much about
Gresham, and therefore each voter could
fancy him just such a candidate as would
satisfy his peculiar ideal. The gloss of nov
city will, OF course, rapidly disappear when
the newspaper correspondents get iull ac-
cess to the new Postmaster General, and bis
name will speedily become so familiar u
the public as to lose some of its attractions.

A Bull on the Rampage.


On Monday morning as a yoke of oxen
and a cart belonging to VIM. II. Jones and
driven by his little son were passing the
farm Of Walter o. Honecker they were at
tackled by Jersey bull belonging to Mr. II,
that had gotten from the premises into thr
road. 1t seems to be a habit with all
hOvines to attack oxen when yoked, and thi,
animal, ordinarily quiet and well disposed
was no exception, and the logger he fought
the more furious he became. He chased
them to the Slate road and down it to the
arm of s. b. briggs, when they were met
by Isaac Truax who fought him with a
heavy stick and drove him away. When IN
front of the farm of George W. Cummins
the oxen were run into the hedge aud Mrs
Theodore Carrow lifted the boy from the
cart over the hedge after firing three shots
at the bull from pistol. The oxen, o
valuable pair, were terribly cut with the
animals horns, and there were apprehen-
sions at the time that they were ruined.

Dailuas8 Gazette
wViLMIN0ToN. SATURDAY, APRIL n.
The Session or 1858.

30 accustomed have the people of Della
ware been TO seeing one Legislature after
another adjourn without transacting any.
thing beyond the regular routine of busi-
ness, that the recent session will stand forth
as a landmark of progressive legislation,
for the guidance of future gatherings of the
General Assembly.
The work of the session just closed has
been onerous, as well as important, and OF
of character requiring the most
careful aud intelligent consideration
on the part of the members.
The result, IN brief, is Constitu-
tional amendment providing for an increase
of New Castle County's representation, an
increase ofthe appropriation for white and
colored schools, a new aud vastly better
charter for the city of Wilmington, divis-
ion Of this city into small aud convenient
election districts, a plan of encouraging i'm
migration to Delaware, and the Port
Wardens bill Tor the improve ment of the
navigation of the Christiana, besides
a vast number of local measures of much
Importance to the people they i'm
mediately effect. For single session this
is good record, and the regret at what
was not accomplished is more than over
come hy the satisfaction which the general
result of le session occasions.
or course th- late Legislature was not en-.
tirey free from sins of omission, and it
would have been a source of additional
pleasure to have been able to add to the
record OF commendable public measures the
bill appropriaing $1,000 to Della
ware College and the act legal
izing primary elections in this State.
On these measures, however, the two
Houses disagreed, the Senate refusing to
concur In the latter, while the honorable
members OF the House failed to see suffi ient
merit in the College bill TO entitle it to their
favorable consideration.
The representation amendment to the
Constitution is very justly regarded as the
most important OF all the public measures
that were considered, aud it ought to prove
satisfactory to every citizen of New Castle
county. It provides Tor an increase OF this
eounty's representation that will allow
the city Of Wilmington two Senators and
party courtesy merely, we have but one
member in each House. 1t removes from
the Constitution dangerous, though in
definite, provision allowing the General
Assembly 10 increase lis membership at will,
and makes this legislation dependent upon
an alteration OF the Constitution, as IL
rightly ought to be. This amendment will
not 20 before the people for their con-
