! speaking OF fraudulent votes, Wera the
fraudulent votes cast tor convention In
1857 to be thrown out, we would not be
discussing this question to-day.
Mr.. Downham Insisted that the vote
for representatives was the standard OK
plicitly set up under the unexcepti0nable
mode. He declared that Whiteman could
not prove that the vote of 1857 was not q
sufficient vote.
MIR. Whiteman rejoined that the
burden of proof did not lay on him; but
on the conyentionists to prove that the
vote was sufficient.

Mr.. Downham said that Mr.. Maull, al.
though feeling ill, had staid nearly oil
tae afternoon TO vote on this measure,
but had to leave before the vote was

was earnestly in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Gray said he would say much the
game thing for Mr.. Brockson. He was
opposed to the bill.

that the bill, having received the consti-
tutionai majority, had passed the House,
the body at onoe adjourned.

FEW NOTES.
Prominent Democrats from the three
counties held a conference here to. day,
with she object Of inspiring more har.
mony and better feeling in the party
counsels.
The distribution of Wilmington funds
among all the city banks will be arc><ed
on both sides, here, on Thursday night.
The Milford Chronicle said in its last
issue that the Sussex poor trustees gave
no reason for their condemnation Of the
State Insane Asylum bill. Not only this,
but they held the special meeting at
which this resolution was adopted so
quietly that the people Of Georgetown
did not know anything about it till the
resolution got into print through its
being read 10 the House. The chairman
stated that it cost the county about $50
to call such meeting, but it was cheaper
to do this than to ineus the liability to
expend more in contributing to the sup.
port of State Asylum. Another menu
Der o. jected that If their insane were to
be sent away off to New Castle county,
they would be too far away for their
friends to visit them. This was about
all that was said. The resolution was
put to vote; two or three voted .'non and
the rest AYE" and 1t went through.
The claimant to that disputed farm In
Pencader hundred, George @. Morton, is
here tonight. He is to have hearing
before the committee tomorrow week.
