LAY DELEGATIoN.-The members Of the NJ.

the question of Lay Delegation or Lay Repre-

suit shows that the subject is viewed with
almost total indifference by many congregations,
especially those Of country churches, and in no
instance has anything like full vote been cast,
even in the larger towns. OF the vote cast,
however, the majority in favor is more than
two to one. 1t is rather singular that a mca

QUARRELING.-In our last issue we said that
the parties that were disputing about the Do
yer promanade concert had become so inten-
sifed on the subject that they had taken both
'the Times and the Delawaredn as quarreling
mediums" Our neighbor, the UelaUarean,
takes exception TO this remark and says it nev
er permits persons to quarrel through its col
umns It adds: 1--WE sometimes publish COM
Eunication- oH.hed in gcntlcmanly language
and manltesting a becoming spirit" How
prudent One Of the definitions of quarrel
in our book is "to fall into variance, to find
fault, to cavil," etc. Now, neighbor, if this
is not the nature of the correspondence in ques
tion what is it? 1t hasn't reached ungentle
manly language yet SO far as we know, mol
is it necessary that it should, to come under
the head ofquarreling. Because it hasn't reach
ed that degree makes it no less a. fault finding
affair-does it? This application of the wore
need mt hurt any ones feelings.
But we must make some reference to the las
sentence of our cotemporary's article. 1t read
thus:
We sometimes tell the Radicals, ediorially
what we think of them; but the Times mus

THE STEAMBOATS,. The action of the rail-
road company in charging the peach growers
$5 tax in addition to the freight on each and
every carload shipped has caused the steam
boat companies to put forth extra efforts to Sc
cure the shipments, as may be seen by refer
ence to our locals. The Phila., Del. City and
Salem Steamboats, Company feel justified in
incurring an expense of from 5000 to $1,000 in
cleaning out our Greek, to secure our peach
freights. By so doing steamboat is run to
within q miles of town, and in the immediate
vicinity of some of the largest orchards of this
part of the county, which it is estimated will
yield upwards of 10000 baskets. All this will
doubtless be lost to the railroad with the crops
ofmany other growers who shipped by rail two
years ago.
The tax above referred to will amount, it is
estimated, to $4,000, or an addition of one
cent per basket, allowing each car to hold SOC
baskets. 1t is stated that over 400 cars will be
required for the work, but about half of these
are furnished by the Camden & Amboy Co.
and are consequently exempt from the State
tax of $40. Yet the growers are required tC
pay S. for every loa1 sent away in these cars
say from ten to fifteen, to meet a tax whicl
the company does not pay. They only hav,
to pay $40 per annum on their Orn cars, Will
they make the peach growers pay them S. fo
every load of peaches shipped, whether ship
ped in a taxed car or not. In other words tn
fruit growers pay the railroad tax and hand

Senator Candy of Virginia.

It has been repeatedly alleged that the
object Of General Ames in discriminating
against the liberal party in Mississippi, in
his government Of that satrapy, was to
shape the complexion Of the coming legis
lature SO as to secure his own election as
one of the Senators from Mississippi upon
the re admission of that State. His ulte-
rior intention it is said is to use tho office
of Senator to secure his promotion to the
grade of Brigadier in the regular army Of
the United States. Now it at last leaks
out, through Washington correspondent,
that the Wells Radicals purpose making
our military commander, General Candy,
a Senator from Virginia in the event he
so " fixes" the legislature as to give them
control of the body. Chandler or Wells
they intend to make the other Senator, it
is said, and the whole little game is very
nicely arranged amongst them, except that
they are somewhat bothered about what to
do with DR.. Sharp, the Presidents broth
er-in-law Some say that Sharp will get
the office over Chandler or Wells and that
those latter worthless will take the chances
of succeeding Candy, who will resign as
soon as he gets promotion in the army !;
and in the meantime Chandler and Wells

M 0rning Star Bitters.

This is no novel in the market, having been be-
fore the public for the last FIVE years and has
everywhere stood the test of the searching scru-
tiny.
This medicine is actually compounded from
the purest ingredients, by an experienced and
careful chemist; neither is it claimed that the
ingredients were hitherto unknown to the med
ical profession. On the contrary the various
component parts have for long time, (some of
them for centuries,) been used by the most sci
entihic and experienced physicians as specifies in
cases of Dyspepsia, Poverty of the blood, Ner
yous and Bilious Headaches, and many diseases
arising from arrangements of the Digestive ap-
paratus. 1t is not claimed for this article that
it will cure all Diseases but in Bilious Fever and
Chills and fever, its value not only as relief,
but, as an actual cure has been fully proved. -
1t is especially recommended in all diseases
resulting from an impure state OF the Liver
Such as Hepatic Congestion, hillary distractions,
excess of Bile, SC. e,as s-l
1t is recommended by prominent medical men,
who, though opposed in principle to all "Patent

the result of their experience with the MORNING
