j j 5 enft t e limits debate to live minutes, so
t | iala j u j| exposure of the pernicious

I tie« that lave been practiced under
the o|x*r«»tiun of this law. Dut in
a question affecting the liberties and j
rights of the people there should he the
most enlarged freedom of discussion.
We have heard to-day that in the city
of New York alone thirty-one hundred
warrants were issued by the sup-rvisors
of elections. I see from published st de
ments that ill»*re have been a very large
number of deputy marshals in that city
and in ot her cities, borne twelve hun
dred were appointed in the city of Saint
Louis, and for what purpose ? Every
in in who applies common sense to the
inquiry as to the puipose and object of
the appointment of such a number in
Saint Louis will find it in the fact that
ere three close election districts
in that city which by the oppressive op
erations of this law were cairied by the
republicans. Three districts which had
heretofore by small majorities returned
democratic members to the other House,
under the op-rations of this law, by the
aid of these deputy marshals, w ere car
ried for the republicans. How was it.
in Cincinnati? Where two districts in
that city hail heretofore given small
deinocra'lc majorities this law was put
in operation and the vote of the demo
cra ic m «jority overborne by the inter
ference of these deputy marshals. For
the purpose of aiding the republican
party the law was inaugurated, and it is
to continue the operations of this law in
that regard that the Attorney-General
now asks that he may have this appro

and justice, and I believe that it strike*

the people of this country have ever

.Senator fora Iowa moves
that debate upon tlie subject shall be
limited to five minutes. Sir. there are
greater lights then that of appropriating
the public money. There is the right,
the inalienable r.glit, of freemen involved
in this discussion.
1 again rep fat my regret that the
Senator from Iowa should have felt im
pelled to move that the five minute
rule be now adopted in this dis
cussion. Dut sufficient time has «flapped,
ami will still elapsed, in the discussion
to call the attention of the country fully
to the wrongs that have been practiced
by our republican friends under the law
of 1870 and 1871.
The Attorney-General asks us to
uive him an appropriation of $250,000
for what? The language of the amend
ment, which 1 understand was prepared
by the Attorney-General, or in his offi_
ce, is to pay expenses that have occurred^
and that may heteafter occur in enforce*
ini these laws. How have the laws been
en fi

from this amendment I could find ample
reason aud justification for inv vote in
the manner in which tlie law has been in

Wilmington, Match 3, 1870 .—To
James IP. Ware, Esq—Dear Sir : _If 1
j know the feeling of the people at our
p'ace, that while they
fine
e willing for the
Council to fund the floating debt of the
city, they do want incorporated in the act
something to stop this thing of running
up a floating debt every few years. The
present law is too hard to enforce and it
has become a blank. There ought to be
something added to the present law,
making it a misdemeanor punishable by
imprisonment, or both, with a
forfeiture of his seat, for any member to
vote to create a debt, but what has been
made a provision for by taxes or rents of
the year then current. 1 hope jou will
give this a fair consideration, for the peo
ple are looking to you to protect .hem
against the future misconduct of tlie
City Council. This is not a party meas
ure, hut one for the benefit of the tax
payers, and I have been told that the
Council has had enacted in this law to
borrow money, a clause to prevent the
citizens from nuking any alterations in
said charter without their consent. I
cannot think they wer« such dunces
this, but if so, bave it stricken out,
waste of words.
One word
house. 1 shall now speak for myself,and
I think that a great many agree with
me that we are not in want of these new
county buildings at this time. We of the
city will have $200,000 to shoulder to
b gin with, and the county i
$100,000, and one-half of this we will
have to pay in the city. This new pro
ject will add $210,000 more to the county,
and the liait of this will fall to our lot
to take care of. I sincerely hope you
will act wisely on these important mat
ters that are going to take such a large
outlay of money. There is no one who
wants these new county buildings at
Wilmington but the lawyers and a few
more interested persons. The masses of
tlie people care nothing about it in a
measure. 1 have no doubt that there are
a great many signers to petitions to build
the Court-house at Wilmington, but it is
ly to prevent it from being built at
New Castle ; aud if the people over there
and the Levy Court had said nothing
about it the citizens of Wilmington would
never have said a word on the subject
this session of the Legislature. This is
not what we want. It is that the county
should be divided, aud we know this
can't be done now, and don't let us put
any obstacle in the way of the division.
If that was done we would have bet'er
and fuller representation than we have
now. These are my views on these im
portant subjects. Yours truly,
Ai.ueut Thatcher.

ANOTHER "PINAFORE" PERFORMANCE
AT TIIE OPERA HOUSE.
The second performance of "Pinafore"
at the Grand Opera House, last evening,

was far more complété and satisfactory
than tlie previous performance. As usual
Miss Annie Pixley w as the life and spirit
of the opera, while the "«tage stick«" that
had been thrust into the company, wo e,
by a dint of constant reheat s-I during the
day, drilled into a degive of proficiency
that enabled them to maintain the gen
eral good eflect of the choruses.
It may be we 1 to state here that mana

ibr the appearance*of the few incompe
tents that marred the otherwise success
ful character of Monday night's perfor
mance. Mr. Mishler only managed the

In a few weeks Miss Annie Pixley,
whose reputation as a charming vocalist
actress, is now fairly established in
this city, will return and appear in her
great specialty. "M'liss, or the Child of

in the flood tide of its interest. Legis
lative work is slowly narrowing down to
those matters which are of the most itn
«pondence of the Gazette.
portance. They have been kept ofF this
far, in order that the sentiments of both
sides might be clearly expressed ; but
time cannot be extended much longer.
This has caused a grand concentration of
ellbrt by the supporters and enemies of
the various hills, which commenced to
day in all its appalling and heart-rending
vigor, and from now till the close of the
session, it will of course he continued.—
With so much lobbying, an occasional
breeze in the House and Senate, and the
prospect, of the grand Legislative Dali
on Thursday* night week, things get
rally present an appearance which a
friend of stir and excitement, would
characterize as supremely lovely.
Speaking of the lobby, the measures
that are agitating that feature of the
State law-mill most fiercely, are, the
railroad bill, the Delaware College bill
aud the new Court House measure. The
first of these—the most lifeless of the
lot, I am afraid, as it now stands, but
the most talked about for all that—is
still being held back and nothing new i9
definitely proposed. The friend« of the
bill, while anxious for some means of
relief, are really doubtful as to whether
their act has not assumed more than it is
really able to assume. While the truth
of very unjust treatment cannot be gain
said, they are undecided. Mr. Rust, the
chair man of the committee on railroad
matters, by which the bill is being con
sidered, told me last night that he ex
pected the subject would come up this
we**k.
The Delaware College hill is s*ill
where 1 said it was yesterday and the
question will be decided before the week
closes, 1 am told. As to the new Court
House measure, much talk is being
made. Lawyers Charles D. Lore, Win.

and others were here last, night and were

which they urged the passage of the
providing for tlie removal of the seat of
jus'ice to Wilmington.
City Treasurer Vincent showed his
portly figure and good natured counte
nance about the corridors, yesterday,
simultaneous with the reading of the
Wilmington bills In the Senate for the
first time. He was on hand to oppose
that particular one which gives Council
the power to impose on the Treasurer
whatever duties they may see fit aud lo
compel fulfillment by penalty. The
Treasurer objects to this most emphati
cally, and says there is no justice in the
proposed measure. He would however
submit to it were it amended so as to
give him necessary assistance.
"Why," says he, "as that bill now
stands they could compel me to do any
work a- all, or fine me for not doing so.
1 am completely at their mercy.

The subject was brought up in both
Houses during the day. Early during
the morning session, Senator Fenne will
introduced a joint resolution rescinding
the document already alluded to aud had
it referred to the Finança Committee.—
The original resolution provides that the
company shall pay $0,000 per year, and
over that sum all the earnings after the
expenses have been deducted,
yearly interest amounts to $12,000.—
Looking upon the f »cts that this road
was a great feeder of the J. & D. road,
and that in time, as the business of the

ces reported the resolution in question.
The objection to this, which caused the
introduction of the rescinding resolu
tion, was the opinion advanced by many
that the resolution was a contract by
which the company could pay one-half
of the interest and let the other half go
unpaid. True, it was argued, the »täte
did not relinquish her right to the money,
but so long as the resolution existed they
could only be compelled to pay the
amount specified in it. The resolution
introduced by Senator Penuewill makes
