The Actreferred to authorizes Ike school

coed in cost s., ooo,i in addition to the pro-

The Five Commissioners Bill fol-
New Castle county, has been the all
absorbing topic of conversation in
political circles all over the State
this week. A delegation of promi-
nent and influential Republicans OF
New Castle county pointed out the
weak points in the proposed bill to
the members of the Legislature at
Dover, on Tuesday, and warned the
majority Of the danger to themselves
in passing it in its present form.
The worst feature of the bill is the
abolishing, for party purposes Of the
Republican Levy Court-which the
people chose to manage the financial
affairs of the county,-and authOriz-
ing the present Democratic governor
TO appoint those of his own party
and his own choosing. at is always

Spruance, in his appeal to the honor
and manhood of the members of the

There is not any doubt but that
the present prospect for a crop OF
peaches is very fattefing, if not as
sured; at the same time many Of the
buds were killed by the freeze of
Monday night last. Shad fisher
men report that their boats iced to
such a degree as to be almost a solid
sheet and their nets would freeze as
hard as rock in fifteen minutes
after being taken from the water.
With the buds as far advanced as
they are at this time, no one will
undertake to deny that many must
have been killed by such weather
One gentleman who examined his
own orchard Of two thousand trees
on Wednesday says not more than
ffteen per cent Of the buds were
killed, while in an adjoining orchard
Of Ave thousand trees fully ninety
per cent were positively dead. The
cause attributed for 80 many being
killed in his neighbours orchard, VISA
ne blowing Of The land in February
which left the roots Of the trees ex-
oosed. There Is no other way of
,ccounting for the difference in the
humber OF dead binds. We are Of
he opinion, however, after examin-
80 eighteen orchards pretty thor
,nehlV that there are now live buds
nouqh on the trees to produce the t
srneSt crop ever known on this {
Ieninaula and should nothing more 7

The people expected much from
Senators Hall and Williams, and
many good Republicans in Kent
county were cOnsoled at their own
defeat in November last in the
knowledge that two such men had
been chosen Senators as John W.
Hall and James Williams. The con-
fidence Of the people seemed secure
in their keeping, and the CHRONICLE
still believes that this confidence
will be retained, Notwithstanding,
the immense pressure that is being
brought to bear upon Mr.. Williams
especially, to have him forget the
people and go with the politicians
of his own party.

Amend Article TX.

Senator Pilling has invited his proposed
amendment to Article TX of the State Con.
stitution. This is to facilitate the calling OF
a constitutional convention. should the
election Of May next not bring the answer
Article * as almost everybody must know
by this time, is the one that prescribes the
'unexeeptionable mode that this Legisla-
ture has about decided must be strictly adj
hered to, By amending this article it is
clear the calling Of a convention can be
made easier Mr.. Pilling proposes to so
amend It as to recommend the submission
Of the question to the voters on general
election day, instead of as now, at a special
election on the third Tuesday of May. The
votes for or against convention, under Mr..
Pilling's amendment, are to be deposited
in ballot boxes separate from those in which
the regular election tickets are deposited;
and In order to warrant the calling of con
ventiou the number of votes cast therefor
must equal majority Of the votes cast for
in the General Assembly on
the day of holdinP such election-instead Of
a majority ofthe highest vote cast in any
one Of the preceding elections, as Article TX
IN its existing shape, is held to prescribe.
OF course Mr.. Pilling's amendment must
receive majority of two-thirds in the pres
eut Legislature. be approved by the cover.
nor and be ratified by three fouTths vote Of
the next Legislature before it becomes a part
Of the constitution. If It be passed BY the
necessary two-thirds Of the present Legis.
allure and approved by the governor, there
will be something to fall back on in case the |
equisite 1880 votes, or thereabout, should |
lot be cast for convention next May.

A aeologioal Survey.
SOMETHING THAT MAY PROVE OF GREAT
VALUE TO THE PEOPLE OF DELAWARE.

Major Powell Of the United States geoIoei
cal survey, last week made an address before
the Legislature, in the hall Of the House Of
Representatives, upon the question Of max.
Z ing complete geological and typographical
survey Of the State Of Delaware. Under ex.
listing arrangements, If such a survey is
made, Major Powell will pay one-half Of
the cost out Of funds provided for this pur-
pose by the general government, the other
half 70 be paid by the State He has already
made surveys upon these terms Of New Ter
seY, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and several
western states, with highly satisfactory re-
Its in each case.
The proposition has already received the
endorsement Of Pomona Grange Of Sussex
county, and Of such leading agriculturists as
ex Governor Stockley, Dr., Hugh Martin,
Hon. Edward l. Martin and S. Harrington
Messick Of Sussex. AIauloye HAYES and 7.
Alexander Fulton, of Kent, aud Daniel w.
Corbit John c. Higgins and James Hossin-
ger of New Castle.
In response to the natural query what
such a survey would be good for, the an |
swer is made that il would be a preliminary /
step toward all schemes Of drainage, road /
building and the general development Of the 1
State The survey maps will give the depth |
Of water along the coast, surface geology,
forest land, low and high lands, an public
roads and railroads, city, town, hundred and
county lines and all elevations Of 10 feet and
upwards The surface lines viii greatly
facilitate drainage schemes and show Just
how the bitches should be run.
The cost, it Is presumed, win be very
In New Jersey it was 81 per
square mile, aud on this basis the cost in
Delaware would be about $4,000 Of which
he State would have to bear only s.. 600.
The cost TO the state OF Connecticut for its
ialf OF the survey was $4,000, and Della
wares survey, il is claimed, would not ex-
eed one-third Of this sum
All Of these points were fully explained
y Major Powell in his address before the
General Assembly. He illustrated his ad-
ress with stereopticon maps Of surveys
lken in various localities.
