are incomplete; and by various dis
honest and despicable devices the popular
will is set aside. Such rascality provokes q
feeling of indignation, and il we are ever to
have a evil war in our midst it will be most
likely to spring from these Vaccinations
The miscreants who perpetrate them, whether
Republicans or Democrats, cannot be too Sc
verely punished; but, meanwhile, the Legis-
lature should so change the laws applicable
to the meetings of return judges in this
city as to require them to be
held in open court, in the
presence of the Judges of the Common Pleas,
and severe penalties should be imposed upon
election officers who neglect the duties pre-
scribed by existing statutes. The disgraceful
and bloody scenes of yesterday could not
have been enacted under such system. The
roughs and rowdies are not yet bold enough
to invade the room of a court empowered to
instantly commit them to prison, and return
judges who are ready to become
parties to fraud would
not have the hardibood to offend in the pre-
sence of authorities empowered to punish
their dreadful crime. AS matters are managed
now, the Court is continually asked for ed
vice on election day, and contested election
cases frequently consume months of its pre-
c.ous time; so that it seems eminently appro-
pirate as well as necessary that the future
meetings of return judges in this city should
be held under judicial scrutiny, and in a
court rtroom effectually guarded against intru-
sion

TIE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION

TIE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
THE proclamation issued yesterday by the
President, announcing his intention of en-
forcing the neutrality laws in the strictest
manner, is couched in very general terms;
and although it is apparently directed espe-
cially against those who are acting as French
or Prussian emissaries, it is also intended for
the benefit of the Cubans and as a warning
to the fierce Fenians not to make any more
attempts in the direction of Canada. The
probabilities are that this proclamation was
elected by complaints made by the Prussian
Government that arms, ammunition, and men
were being collected in this country for the
assistance of France; and while the ma
terial aid that either bellieerent is
likely to receive from this side
of the water in the way of warlike material
cannot be very great, it is nevertheless our
duty to prevent by the most stringent mea-
sures the slightest cause of offense. The irri-
tation in the United States against England
was caused far more by the unfriendly dis
position shown by her Government and ruling
classes in permitting material aid to be fur
nished to the Rebels than it was by all the
injuries inflicted by means of such aid, and
the peculiarly friendly position in which we
stand toward both France and Prussia makes
ii particularly important that our neutrality
duties should be performed according to the
strictest spirit of law and justice. With re-
gard TO the Fenians, the President owes
it to himself and to the country to
do something in the way OF prevent
ing further outrages upon the Cana
dams by some more decided measuyes
than the issuing of proclsmations. If the
deluded Irishmen who get up annual raids
over the Northern frontier are to be made to
respect the laws, something decisive must be
| done to restrain them when they first begin
| to organize for en- expedition; and if any such
scandalous affair as that of last summer
occurs again, the perpetrators ought to be
dealt with in such manner that their fate
will be a warning to all who may he disposed
] to follow their example.

s%- THE EVENING TELEGRAPH, from
Its original establishment, has been in the
receiptet telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists OF
elre 7ti6nae, Times, Herald, Wor2d,
SIN, Journal Of Commerce, EVsning Post,
Commercial AdOe,7iSe,, and Evening Er-
press. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, sufficient evil
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia-
biity of the news which we have received
from this source. Last March we entered
Into special contract by which THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH has the e.rclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own members,
the North American, Inquirer, Ledger,
Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat,
of this city, and the leading journals of the
East, North, West and South; and hereafter
THE TELEGRAPH will be the onLy e0ening
pa5ey pH6lisAed in this city in which the
afternoon dispatches of the Associated
Press viii appear.

A PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The first step toward the organization of a
paid Fire Department was taken in Select
Council yesterday, by the adoption of reso-
luton offered by Mr.. George A. Smith for
the appointment of a committee of three
from each Chamber to obtain the best infor-
nation that can be had with regard to the
paid service established in other cities This
was not very long step, it is true, in the
direction of an object that is daily becoming
more and more important, but it was the
commencement of work of reform that must
be accomplished in spite of the powerful in
1uences that will be exerted against it. There
are multitudes of excellent men in the pre-
sent Fire Department who regard the volunteer
system and its historical traditions with the
fondest regard, and who will not be able to
witness its adjustment without the keenest
regret. The public interests, however, must
be consulted before the preferences and pre-
judices of any particular class of citizens,
and affairs have now come to such pass
with the volunteer Fire Department, that the
welfare and safety of the city demand that
change should be made. Some of the engine
houses are merely breeding places for ruffiau-
ism, and scarcely a week passes that the
crimes of arson and riot are not imputed
upon strong grounds, to the members and
hangers on of the different companies. The
men of good character connected with
the present Fire Department have proved
themselves either unwilling or power
less to prevent the outrages that have
so excited public indignation, or to dis
cover and bring to justice the perpetrators.
So long as this is the case we can do no less
than hold them and the system that they sus-
tain as responsible, and to ask what remedy
there is for evils so notorious that they can
not be explained away or apologized for
except in complete and radical reform that
will overurn the whole volunteer system and
bring the Fire Department strictly under
official control. We hope that Mr.. Smith and
the other friends of reform will not allow
this matter to rest with the appointment of
a committee of inquiry into the systems
adopted in other cities, but that they will
press the matter with energy and urge the
speedy adoption of active measures for tn e
establishment of paid Fire Department at as
easy day as is practicable.

Tar demeanor Of William b. Mann, Esq ),
amid the trying scenes Of yesterday was
highly creditable. He discharged the dis
agreeable duty imposed upon him with great
skill and fidelity The fact that the return
judges unanimously agreed in regard to the
necessity for the presence of counsel, how
ever, gives additional force to the argument
in another column in favor Of law requiring
the meetings of the return judges to be held
hereafter in the presence of the Judges of
the Court of Common Pleas.

We give below an estimate of the probable
quantity of peaches that will be shipped by rail-
road this year, which has been carefully pre-
pared, and we believe that it is much more ac-
curate and trustworthy than the estimate Of the
Peach Growers Association, also given. It will
be seen by the figures, that the estimated gross
shipments for the present year, fall considerably
short Of the actual shipments last year, the num-
Der Of baskets likely to be shipped from Della
ware being much smaller, but the deficiency be-
ing made up by the increased shipments, from
the branch roads, completed or extended since
that time.
There has been considerable rotting of fruit
on the trees within the last few weeks, especial
ly with early varieties, causing several recent
changes to be made in the estimate within
week but we believe the figures in the
last column, (No. 81 substantially indicate
the shipments to be made this year. The col
umns are as follows No /. Actual shipments by
railroad Gncluding express) in 1863: No. 2. Es-
innate made by the Peninsular Fruit Growers
Association for 1870. No. 8. A new and more
