"Uadcr the able administration of Post
master General Creswell, the receipts of
the Post Office Department have increased
largely during the past several months,
and have been far in excess Of any amount
ever received during the corresponding
time of previous years.
g In his next annual balance sheet Mr.
Creswell expects to show the NEST ilatter-
ing statement of the coalition of his
Department, the receipts nearly equallns
the expenses.
''This is due to the rigid economy which
tho Postmaster General has everywhere
ordered to be practiced by subordinates,
and to revocation of many expensive and
needless contracts made by his predecessor"
Congress has fixed the 18th of July for
adjournment

is going to Kent county Delaware, to run

The Enforcement Bill has passed both

shows a reduction during the past month
of $14, 301 ,902.5S, and since March list $31, =

PEACH CULTURE.-Jas. Alexander Full
ton, lawyer of Dover, Del, has written
book on the Peach, which is so thorough
and exhaustive as to preclude the necessity
of anything further being written OH the
subject. Mr.. Fulton, in his little treatise,
gives plain, simple and specific directions
for planting, rearing, picking and market
ing the delicious fruit, and has been emf
nently successful in making handbook
and guide that no one who wishes to cult
vate the peach intelligently can afford to do
without. AS the author lives in the very
centre of the peach-growing district and
is himself practical fruit-raiser, his book
can be accepted as the highest authority !;
and his instructions implicitly followed can
not fail to be rewarded with success. We
are pleased to recommend this book to every
one who takes an interest in peach culture,
and trust it may meet with AN extensive
sale among peach men generally, but espe-
cially among those of Delaware and Mary
land. 1t is published by Orange Judd &
Co., N. Y. Price $3.50.

Our space being all occupied last week
with more important matter, we could not
say in reply to the statement made by the
Denton Union, that the 'items furnished
that paper, touching the formation of
certain Comnsttee, are entirely false. The
following is what has been imposed upon
the Union:
"The idea of forming that committee,
We are credibly informed, originated with
the candidate of Tile Wig and his friends
in Baltimore"
The man who reported the above to the
Union, lies unqualifiedly, and we can prove
it. If the Union doubts what we say, it
can be fully satisfied by applying to the
State Central Committee, or it's officers
Tile Wig has no candidate but we infer
who the Union means. What The Wig
has said about this matter, has been in the
interest of the Republican party and not
in the interest of any individual.
We pass unnoticed the angry invective
of the Union, and request that ace be held
responsible for what appears in Tile Wh1A
and no other parties. 1t is very evident
that the Union has been imposed upon by
false information, and we hope it will hest
tate in future before accepting any state
Mcnt from the same source. Not we'll
Informed politician in the State will believe
one word coming from that quarter with
out further confirmation, and we are sorry
to find the leading Republican paper in
Southern Maryland, so gulliblc. Let the
Union take measures TO properly inform
itself, and it will admit, that our rebuke
Of little double-dealing game was well
merited. We have no word of reproach
for the Union or the honest Republicans of
that county.

TEMPERANCE-STRAW FESTIVAL
CHESAPEAKE CITY, June 9Th, 1870.

CHESAPEAKE CITY, June 9Th, 1870.
Mr.. EWING Among our institutions
for good in this place, none perhaps deserve
the confidence and support of all good and
law abiding citizens, more than the Order
of Good Templars, an organization some
two years old. Starting from few inter
ested in the cause of temperance, they have
grown steadily, gaining strength until they
now occupy position to dc much good in
the community. Not from the higher or
from the lower classes, do they obtain their
converts to the cause, but from amongst
those who but for the curse of intemper-
ance, would be qualified to fill the places
assigned to them by their Creator, as good
and useful citizens. That they have done
much good there is no doubt, and YOUR
correspondent mot a member of this soci-
ETY. has endeavored closely to observe it's
influence upon more than one man who has
been seen before joining this society stag
gering int his own house drunk.
understand they intend holding Straw
berry Festival, in the New Masonic Hall,
during the coming week, in order that they
may have funds to furnish their new Hall
room now being completed for their meet
ings. II is to be hoped that the friends of
order and temperance from other sections
of the county will drop in and partake of
a dish Of nice Strawberries, such as are
grown on Bohemia Manor WEEKLY.

The Democrat and its Crazy Man.

Tile Democrat has white elephant on its
persists in inditiag long letters to our neigh
Dor, urging the policy of notifying the col
ored men that they shan't vote the Demo-
crat ticket. Our neighbor tries to hush
him up, by telling him it's no use they
must "accept the situation" and if any of
the celored voters will condescend to give
the Democracy ga lift at the polls, it will
be better to wink at it and let them vote
This kind of mscegenation only makes
crazy worse, and he comes back at his OPP
ponent like mad bull at 4 gate. Our
neighbor is in 4 bad fix. lie has the bull
by the horns if he let's go, he'll he
gored; if he holds on, he'll ba toss
ed. We feel a great deal of sympathy
for him in his distressing situation, but are
at loss what to advise The best step he
can make, perhaps, would be to join the
colored League. He was .iubilant, last
week, over having got Capt Wilson, Low
man, and the rest of the ''white trash" out,
and might stand some chance of being
elected. There would be some risk to run,
perhaps, of getting blackballed; but stnoth-
ing ventured nothing won," the old adage
says. "Brudder Freeman" whom he has
been cozening round for some time, might
extend him friendly hand in his distress.
Having disposed of the "white trash" by
"kicking them out" the oman and BROTH
err might take more kindly to the white
gentlemen, the sciens of chivalry-the lin
cal descendants of the House of Hapsbure,
OF the Borbons, or some other of the nobil-
ity, with titles dating back in the dim ages
Of the past.
Once within the charmed circle, THE DeD,-
ocrat man would not be compelled in the
future to seek information of the doings of
the League, by waylaying the simple-mind-
ed-for there are some of that kind among
the colored people as well as among the
whites-in dark alleys and back stairwa avs,
to pump an imperfect report of the League
out of them. Tohob mob with the ssbabes''
and then "peach is not honorable Bet
ter Cline and get reports from headquar-
tiers, and give up the "hole and corner"
business Of pimp.

sG In our article ON the Chestertown
election in Saturday lasts WAiA some
slight unimportant errors occurred.
The Democrat denounced the coored peo-
pie for qualifying themselves as voters by
deciding small lot of land to upwards of
a hundred persons. This we stated they
had u precedent for by the Democrats
doing the same thing in the spring of 1869.
1t appears, however, that the same game
was practiced by them the present spring
also; and about the first of May last deed
was filed in the Clerks Office granting
about square foot each to hundred men
among when were the two ministers before
mentioned.
We were in error also in stating that
three eolored men were elected to the office
of Town Commissioners. The three col
ored men whom we named were property
holders to the amount of $780, each, but
were not candidates for the office of Town
Commissioners. With the exception of
these slight errors we believe our article on
the Chestertown election in reputation of
the Democrats monstrous assertions, was
entirely correct.

Fun IN IND1ANA.-A number of young men,
residents of Davies county, returning from a
dance Just before daylight, short time ago,
thought it would be funny to make those whom
they might meet perform double shuttle, or
pigeon wing for their amusement. According
~, they executed orders to two or three way
farers, and saw them executed, to their great
delight. Just about daylight they met horse
man coming toward them, and apprised him OF
the rule they had made, and refused to listen to
him when he politely declined The stranger
dismounted with great apparent reluctance, and
tied his horse to the fence.

own, music" and drawing large revolver

The boys looked at each other in dismay and
then commenced. Heel andtoe double shuttle,
essence of old Virginia breakdown, hornpipe,
and every other variety of the Tespsichorean
art known to the rustic jokess, was performed
for about an hour, when the grim equestrian
mounted his horse and rode of, leaving the
young iokers tired and covered with perspira-
ton, dust and humiliation.
