DovKR Del, May IA The Constitution.
= Convantion 70 day further considered
The report Of the Committee on Phraseolo-
~ and Arrangement Tho only material
ehang6 was that which increases the limit
81 special sessions OF the General Assembly
from 20 to 30 days. Az present regular
sessions are limited to 90 days, and 1t Is pro
bable that the Convention will increase IL to
20 days at to- morrows session.
There 10 a disposition upon the part of
some Of the members to adjourn some
time in the latter part Of June, and in the
meanwhile obtain the opinion Of the peo-
pie as to the new instrument If favor
able the Constitution will then be formally
promulgated. This proposition will be
opposed by some Of the lawyers, who be.
lieve in PRONUNCIATION and sine die ad-
journment.
Mr.. Burris made vigorous address In
support OF motion to make the office of
Justice elective instead Of appointive He
spoke or the inferior talent generally So
lected to fill that Office, claiming that they
were simply menace to the peace Of the
community and curse to the people,
Generally speaking" he said, "they are
theinstruments CT oppression, and the
people who come before them are often
times wickedly and malioiously imprison-
ed. One Of the gravest mistakes we have
made in this convention Is that we have
not provided that these officials should DO
elected by the people.
Their very existence, SO far as my OBJ
seryation goes, is purely question OF the
costs that they are able to impose upon the
unfortunates who are brought before
them, and this same abuse is prevalent all
over the State The people should be de.
livered, if such thing is possible, from
this outrageous abuse of power on the Dart
of justices of the peace

We Want No Race Track.

The passage OF the race track bill by our
General Assembly would DO q fitting trib-
uto to the name our Legislature has sue
caeded in making for itself. If the mem
beers would take time to read the accounts
in the papers OF the racing which is now
going on at the Elkton tracks. they would
be able to learn how dishonesty is prac-
tced by tho gamblers who control the
horses, jockeys and judges at these out,
lawed race tracks, The sport of racing
is as old as the horse itself, The bible de-
picts the chariot races in the time Of Pha-
roah. But the manner in which the races
are conducted az Elkton would put the
devil to shame. Representing several
thousand persons in the city of Whining
ton, the REPUBLICAN, enters its protest
against the passage OF such bill 1t
would be "A dark blot on the name Of our
little State The New Jersey authorities
stamped the evil out in that State, and it
then settled in Maryland The press in
Maryland is unanimous in cundemning
the race track and the men who follow its
tickle fortunes. Young men have been
lead to commit theft to procure the neces-
sAry money to wager on u particular horse
at these tracks. The evil is one that
should never be allowed to settle in Della
ware.

SAID a gentleman yesterday who had
been down to Dover: Il heard John S.
Rossell speaking before the members of
the General Assembly, giving his reasons
why the new city charter, which he had a
hand in drafting, should be passed by
them. did not know he could make as
good speech as he made. He spoke right
along IN common sense manner, giving
argument for argument why the new city
charter should be adopted and tho adYau-
tages that would accrue to the citizens in
adopting more modern Way of conduct.
ing our municipal affairs He had the
closest attention of his hearers aud spoke
for considerable length of time" The
gentleman did not know that Mr.. Rossell
had learned the printing business and
edited the Cecil Democrat, published at
Elkton, for several years. He is Il young
man of ability and is able to hold his own
with any of our orators on any question.
He has given this matter Of a new city
charter his almost entire attention for
nearly two years, and is naturally anxious
that the ideas embodied in it should be
given trial.

The sugar industry is OF great magni-
tude, and no wonder, when you think of
the millions who use that article every
day of their lives The importation of
raw sugar during the month of April
amounted to 757,799, j27 pounds, and the
entering value was SlI,747 1870 The i'm
ports were nearly 300O00,OO pounds
grea er than during March, and nearly
800 0JO pounds greater than in Febru-
ary. Is it any wonder the sugar trusts
have paid their Attorneys" at Washing
ton TO look after their interests. There Is
millions in this business and it beats the
divorce revenue, the ouly business that
our Legislature has been so busy with
since 1t sat in session in Jenuary last.
Several of the Senators have grown rich
dabblilg in sugar stock, by being on the
inside and getting news favorable or
otherwise, about the sugar trust.

teristic speech at Woodland Beach, when
Governor Tunnel was notified by the
ptrty of his nomination for that office by
the Democratic Convention, he was poor
ma, and for the people. We hope he
