WHAT II BEING DONE BY THE
LRGlSLATURENO PROSPECT
OF AN ADJOURNMENT.
Special Correspondence Of the REPUBLICAN.
DOVER, Del, March 6, 1883. Thus
far this week promises to be a busy one,
and considerable business Of minor i'm
portance will no doubt be disposed of,
which will give room for business OF
more Importance, providing the various
committees will submit thesamc before
the General Assembly The session
this morning was an active one, and the
Hobbies were crowded with Kent County
farmers who are at loGgerheads over Il
road bill which will establish new
School District in Il certain section vi
Ken on Hundred, Kent County.
1t has been repeatedly stated that
the House will take no definite action
in reference to adjournment, and that
question remains almost :. dead letter.
1t will be remembered that the House
made several amendments to the Senate
joint resolution in that respect and this
morning the Senate again remodeled
the resolution, 80 that it now stands
"that no new business be received after
March Goth.
The House, however, will not concur
in the Senate amendments to the resolu-
ton, and it will again be set aside.
The mbers of the House seem to think
that they cannot get through with their
business by the Both of March and de-
sire to get all they can out of the pres
ent session of the Legislature. Those,
however, who are engaged in agricultu-
raj pursuits will, when the weather
becomes settled and more pleasant,
nee the error of their ways and will no
doubt at that time desire an early adj
journment.
