ohm 7. Dickey did not get the Five |
commissioners law just as he would have |
liked to have had it, but he seems to be |
atished with what he got. The House /
& Committee on Revised Statutes reported |
substitute bill yesterday and it was
6oassed. The only changes it makes in /
he original Dickey amendments are
that IL makes the receiver liable for
penalty if he does not sit on the pre-
cribed days and within the prescribed
lours Il compels him to sit in the
#votiDg places in the rural hundreds and
lot in 1.-THE most convenient place, as he
y proposed His request Of 81, 500 for
4 lerk hire is cut down to ST. 800. On all
axes not paid on January /, one per
bent is added and an additional one per
cent. up to May 1, when five per cent. is
.dded.

ConstabIes' Resolution Killed.
The House killed the joint resolution
authorizing the state treasurer to pay
the special constables who served in Will
mington last November, just before the
5 noon recess.
Mr. Cooch from the majority of the
3Committee on Appropriations, reported
the resolution favorably.
II Mr. Hall presented a minority report
(which, in short, was that the state had
no legal right to pay it as the law
authorizing the governor to appoint the
constables specifically provided that the
county should pay them.
Mr.. Salisbury moved the indefinite
postponement of the majority report.
This brought on a hot debate, Messrs
Cooch and Spruance speaking for the
resolution aud Messrs. Salisbury, Hall,
Dasey and Bryan oppo sing IL,
Even Speaker Whiteman called Mr.
n Watkins to the chair and made an
eloquent speech in favor of the resolu-
B tion. He said that it was not contrary
+ to the law or constitution; that it was
+ the duty of the state to protect its
citizens from such iniquitous Federal
6 interference with the rights of the people.
1t affected the entire state and the state
should pay for it.
Both sides spoke in the highest terms
of the effective work done 10y the con
stables The only question at issue was
whether the county or the state should
4 foot the bill
The vote to indefinitely postpone was
f lost by the following vote:
Aye-Messrs. Bryan. Dasey Hall,
+ Harrington, Jacobs. Kenney, Lynch,
Pratt, Prettyman, Salisbury
Nay-Messrs. Armstrong, Cooch, Day
Gam, Hickman, Sevil, Spruance, Wat
kins, Whittock and Mr. Speaker-1O
The melton TO adopt the resolution
was then lost by the same vote.
The proposition now is to increase the
amount named in the bill, authorizing
the Levy Court Of New Castle county to
make loan from $50, 600 to $45 OOO
A Chapter of Lottery History.
Senator Lacey gave notice of an act to
authorize the directors of the Frederica
Railway Company to pay money in itl
hands to the town of Frederick. This Is
