The Democratic members of the Senate
and House, in caucus on Monday night of
last week, agreed upon an address, which
has been signed and issued. 1t suggests the
peculiar importance Of the elections to be held
this fall for congressman, and urges that such
men be elected as may be able to take their
seats under the test oaths, &c, &c.

The Cecil Wing says, in regard to the pros
pect for peaches and the wheat CROP
Accounts from the peach district of Cecil
county give gloomy prospects for the peach
crop. The fruit continues to fall off The
wheat crop in the same neighborhood is re-
ported az equally unpromising. The unpre-
cedented wet weather rusted and scabbed
this cereal so seriously that n half crop, from
present appearances, is not counted on
Some of the renters offer the whole crop to
their landlords if they will release them. In
the upper parts of the county the wheat pre-
sents better prospect, and 1t is thought the
crop will be medium one.
In addition to their other mistortunes in
Cuba, the Asiatc cholera and small pox are
raging there to fearful extent
Jesse G. Sharp, nephew of President Grant,
died at Washington, at the residence of Gen.
Dent, last week.
A man named Jewett, of Litchteld is rails
ing minks for the profit of the thing When
a year old they are worth five dollars, while
a sheep of that age is not worth half that
sum.
The Chinese immigrants in San Francisco
are rapidly leaving that city, driven away by
the ill-treatment inflicted upon them. Another
batch of $50 reached Omaha recently on their
way to Algiers, La, where they are under
contract with Hon. Cakes Ames and eX Coy
ernor Gardner of Massachusetts,
Butler and Farnsworth had a passage-at-
arms in the House on Wednesday of last
week; Butler called Farnsworth an ''as-
sassn," and Farmworth called Butler
thief" The question before the House was
upon sustaining the Presidents veto of
the bill for the extension of the pistol patent
owned by Rollin White. Butler made a
speech in favor of White whereupon Mr..
Farnsworth interrupted him with the charge
that he had received a fee of So 900 for adyo-
eating the claim on the floor of the House.
An interchange of bitter vituperation fol-
lowed. Butler said that he would not sub
nit to interruption from "a man who had
more beard than brains" FarnswOrth re-
torted that "the member might curse his
beard, but he should not steal under the shad-
ow of his beard"
The report of the special committee of the
Senate on the San Domingo investigation was
made on Saturday last. The majority re-
port is favorable to the idea that Mr. Hatch,
an American citizen, was imprisoned without
any completely on the part of Gen. Babcock,
Cazenan, Mr.. Fabens and the American
minister on that Island also that the treaty
for annexation was fairy and sincerely made.
The minority report, however, which is sign
ed by Senator Vickers, of this State, and
others, is directly the opposite to this, and
shows several statements ofgrave importance
touching the Imprisonment of Mr. H. and
the protocol agreed upon between the au-
thorities of that island and Gen. Grant
special envoy. This appears among other
stipulations, viz: that president Grant
privately agrees to use all his influence to
make the annexation acceptable TO MAORI
ty of Congress before he officially submits
the treaty to them. The 9th article of this
protocol declares that it shall be kept an in
vioable secret, but it has leale dout in the tes-
timony
The New York Central and Erie railways
are having lively competition in freight on
live stock. About six weeks since the Cen
trail managers reduced the rate on cattle to
New York from $3.50 per car to 800, and
the Erie followed. Three weeks later the
Central fell to $40 per car and the Erie rate
dropped instantly. Yesterday the Erie re.
duced the rate on cattle from $40 to 81 per
car and the Central was obliged to follow.
To-day the Erie road carries sheep and hogs
to New York at cent per head, and the
Central carries cattle from Suspension Bridge
to New York at the same rate as from Buff
falo-$1 per car; hogs $44 per car, and
sheep $40 per car. The general effects are
not yet felt. Dealers in stock seem embar-
