THE AMENDMENT KILLED,

DOVER, February 25.-The Della ware
Legislature performed its greatest act
To- day, and the most lively and ex-
citing scenes of the session prevailed
here In the fight over the representa-
tion amendment this morning. 1t is gem
orally acknowledged that the speech
made by John +. salisbury against the
adoption OF the amendment was one of
the finest ever made In the House OF
Representatives. Speaker Comegys also
distinguished himself In an able argu-
ment In favor of the bill. Az soon ~
10 was known that the anne ndm had
| been taken up for consideration In the
House the lobby and ficor began to fill.
The Senate adjourned, and the members
filed Into the House and occupied seats
on the floor. Mr.. Armstrong "opened
the BALI about 0.30 O'CLOCK by calling
the amendment up for consideration.
Mr.. Salisbury Immediately asked for q
IpJstponement until Tomorrow morning.
aud after considerable discussion on
both sides his motion TO postpone was
lost by a vote Of thirteen TO eight.
Salisbury then moved 10 adjouU, but
after further di, cussion this motion
also was lost. A long series OF dilatory
motions were then made BY Mr. Sauls-
bury, such as TO adjourn and to take a
recess, and almost an hour WAS occu-
pied in frantic defamation by Messrs.
| Sau lsbury and Comegys.

about TO be called, Mr.. Hearn showed
his hand, by asking the Speaker II h'
would be allowed within three days u
change the vote he might cast to-day
Upon being assured that he would, thu
ball MAS placed upon Its final passage
aud falling by one vote TO receive th'
required three fourths majority, 1t WA
declared lost. Those voting against l
were Messrs. Adams, Atkins, Cannon
and Hearn, of Sussex, and Messrs
| How and salisbury, of Kent.
Messrs. Barlow and Brown i'm late
ly changed their vote to nay in order u
, move for reconsideration. This will
probably be done tomorrow but even l
the motion to reconsider prevails whicl
il very doubtful, the measure will PRO
badly not be taken up for consideration
again for absut two weeks. Mr.. Hear
