tAtion was called up for consideration
In the Senate this afternoon.
The resolution sets forth the Deces
eity OF IN increased representation for
New Castle County OF four representa-
ttves and one Senator, and providesl
Tor the appointment OF a committee tol
take the subject into consideration and |
report thereon. Senators Cavender, Roe |
and Mustard opposed the adoption of
the resolution at the present tune, as
four OF the members were absent, and
on the ground that it bound the Legis
lature to the support of the subject, and
also because there was an amendment
20 the constitution, providing for this
increase already pending before the
House.
Mr.. McWhorter replied that there
was no doubt in his mind that the
amendment which was considered in
the House few weeks ago had ceased
30 exist, and lie gave IL as his opinion
that the House had killed the bill By
voting down a motion TO take it up for
consideration, and failing TO re consider
this vote within three days. After con-
siderable discussion, the resolution was
again laid upon the table. The two
Houses will meet ai9 o'clock to- morrow

the members an opportunity to visit
