President, I I ' r(i ^! l «l that tlie majority of tiie Senate has I li'uitcil debate upon tide amendment to | ! live minutes. The law is one odious in : its character. It was passed by the ma I jority of i he Senate, audit has been a , I subject of dissatisfaction to the people of j I llie country. Under its operation there J hag been great i' justlce and great op-1 P'vssion ex-reijed toward tlie fresmeti of ! tills land. Now when a ipieslion comes * up upou which legitimate discussion j upon the cliaracter of the laws of 1870 laud 18"1 can he had, the majority of the j j 5 enft t e limits debate to live minutes, so t | iala j u j| exposure of the pernicious cn,, s««mei»ces which have resulted from | these laws cannot be had. It is true that jin debate which has already proceed d : there has been demonstrated the iniqui 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 priation of $200,000 granted to him. I e shall not do it. 1 do not believe there hope the law is constitutional, and it ought to be rej»ealed. been executed in the spirit of fairness and justice, and I believe that it strike* down the right of free elections which the people of this country have ever de -i red. Yet when this question, involving the principle of free elections, is brought to the attention of the »Senate and the at f the country, the honorable Ins place I do not believe it has tentioi .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 ;ed ? It I were to assign but one i w hy 1 should wit hh« »hl my vote from this amendment I could find ample reason aud justification for inv vote in the manner in which tlie law has been in the pa t enforced. Mr. Keknan. Of course I do not in tend to make any speech, hut as we are appropriating money for deficiency un ît of 1871, affecting the elections, » call the attention of the Senate facts that appear in sworn , report made to Congress, show that we should have a detailed statement of how this money is to be «peut before we vote it very liberally. 1 hold in my hand Report No. 8')0, Forty fourth Congress, first 8« ssion, containing the evidence that was taken iu New* Yo k in reference to expenditures under this law, in reference to the election You find on piges 20 and der the I want t« to one or t w< evideuce on ' ■ prior to 1870. 21 the testimony of Mr. Gibney, who that lie was employed under Mr. says Davenport in 8iij)civisiiig the election.

He says he made out a "bill for caniage hire by in struct'onsof the president of the district." Question. Although you had never paid a dollar ? Answer. No, sir.

[Published by KcqupsL.j 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. as a two about the Court ill debt March 5, 187W. A mu a«? me ii I ft. ANOTHER "PINAFORE" PERFORMANCE AT TIIE OPERA HOUSE.

Special Dover, March 5.—The session is now 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. G. Whiteley, 1. C. Grubb, S. A. Macal liste»', Geo. II. Dates, Austin liarring'on and others were here last, night and were closeted with a goodly number of the members for 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. Treasurer, by tlie way, feels perfectly at home in Dover, for here it is his boy hood days were spent when John Ml. Clayton was in tlie height of his pros perity. As 1 intimated in my letter yesterday, nit looking to the rescinding of hour or more, during bill The a move the résolut* ou to relieve the Breakwater and Frankford Railr- ad was set on foot. 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 increased, tlie whole interest The company might he paid, the Committee on Finan 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 the original resolution expire i In the House, Mr. Conaway introduced a resolution in regard to the same matter, the preamble of which recites that the subject had not beeu considered plained when it was passed ami provid ing for the payment of the entire inter Mr. Hall, the chairman of the Com mittee of Ways aud Means, arose and ex plained at considerable length the mteu i! oii.s of the resolution.
