RusHING BUSINESS.
There seems to be disposition on
the part of the House to push business
and get through by not later than
May list. This will give about live
weeks in which to push up the bust
ness. and although there is large
number OF bills 10 be acted upon there
IS no doubt but an adjournment by
that time Is possible, ii the members
continue to work as they are now dc.
ing. Nearly 800 bills nave been intro.
duced since the session convened, the
greater part of which are now in tic
hands OF committees or awaiting final
action, but 1t is safe to say that many
OF these bills Will never advance any
further than the committees.

lie thought this was wrong, us il not
only prustituted the ballot, but de-

most invariably used In the other
counties. a..
THE Pc ACH WILLOWS BILL.
When the bill for tho repeal of the
peach yellows law. as lar as Kent
County is concerned, was being read
by the clerk of the House, the mem
bers were paying but little attention.
Mr.. Cooch happened to catch a word
or tive, when he called the attention
OF tho memberS to the bill, and moved
that it DO laid on the table. lie said
ills was a very important measure
and that while he would not say that
lie would vote against it. he certainly
would not vote for it untll he had an
opportunity to examine it. MIR. Cooch
also spoke OF tho ravages the peach
yellows have made in New Castle
county, and said that az it had now
spread to Kent County something
should be done TO eli, ei it.
air. Armstrong the originator of
the bill, advocated its passage and
Captain Daisey said that il Kent coun-
ty growers wanted the existing law
repealed, no did not see why their
wishes should not he respected. A
vote was then taken on the motion to
lay tho bill on the table, which was de- |
fcatnd with 10 hayes to ayes. The |
bill was passed with vote OF II ayes |
to nays and sent to the Senate for
concurrence. IL was taken up in the |
Senate at the afternoon session and |
after beirg read tho first time was on |
