appoint special constables, as an offset to
the deputy marshals, passed the Senate to-
night by straight party vote, after de-
bate in which Messrs. Donahoe, Pilling
and Richardson participated. In the
course of the discussion Mr.. Pilling re-
marked, with mock seriousness, that since
this General Assembly had hitherto re-
Trained creating any new appointments
for the governor to fill, he would suggest
that the number Of deputy constables to
be appointed under this act be fixed at
1000. Upon further reflection, considering
that this number might prove inadequate
to the needs of Wilmington, he proposed
that it be increased to 1900.
THE MILITIA APPROPRIATIONS.
Greatly to the qualification of ex-General
Kenney, after persistent pleading, in which
he was ably assisted by Representative
Higgins, the Senate took up and passed
the House bill appropriating $500 to the
contingent expenses Of the adjntant-gen-
cral Is office, 500 additional each to COM
panies A. c, L and Troop b. and 800 to
Troop A of Laurel.
Both Houses remained in session until
IL 30 tonight.
The time Of the House was occupied in
waiting on the Senate, which proved to be
considerably behind and had to work hard
to catch up.
