The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1891-01-13

Dover, Jan. l3.-The Legislature hold
but one hours session last evening,
from 5 to o'clock, but In that hour,
for beginners, they made things hum.
No less than two Constitutional Con-
vention bills were given notice OF, one
in the Senate and one In the Houses. a
bill to abolish tho New Castle county
Levy Court was put In the groove. and
a bill which will help to make the
peoples Republican Levy Court and
Sussex county, legislatively, Demo-
cratic, was started.
In the Senate IL was Senator Williams
who gave notice of a bill ito provide
for holding special election for the
purpose OF ascertaining the sense OF
the people on the question of calling
Constitutional Convention" and in the
House Mr.. Ridgely followed suit with
notice that read the same. Neither
of the gentlemen have the bills in
question framed, but they are both
supposed TO be, and in fact will be, on
the Article TX order.
Senator Ross gave notice In the Sem
ato OF the scheme to legislate out OF
existence the New Castle Levy Court.
That bill Is also ono of the futurities.
Senator Ross himself has not seen II,
and evidently doesn't know whether
IL Is three or five commissioner bill.
He simply gives the notice by request,
as he would of any other bill. That
this particular bill, however is the five
commissioner bill is the generally ac-
cepted belief here, and further that
Kent's Senators are by no means
welded to this five commissioner idea
Is also the accepted belief. Kents
Senators, however, personally are nom
committal, but II is evident that they
are thinking deeply, and 1t is their
own thinking, too.
Representative Il. j. Morris is the
custodian OF the bill which has for its
object the division of Cedar Creek
hundred In Sussex county, and for its
further object the making OF another
Democratic member of the Levy Court
OF Sussex county. For as soon us
this bill becomes law and Cedar
Creek Is divided into Cedar Creek and
South Milford hundreds-as the bill
propoSeS-the new hundred OF South
Milford will he entitled to Levy
Court member and Governor Reynolds
will appoint one. This will nuke the
Levy Courtof Sussex tie. But the
Democracy OF Sussex will not stop
here. There's another hundred in
Sussex that will bear splitting up, in
their estimation, and that Is Little
Creek hundred. This division will fol-
be Depccratlc by one vote.
