The KENT RAILROAD. The Directors
of this road having concluded not to run the
finished portion at present, the Kent News
takes exception to their course in the fol-
lowing terms:
We regret to learn that, by the action
Of the Board of Directors of the Kent Co
Railroad, on Tuesday last the running Of
that portion of the road now completed
will probably be delayed some time. We
are not, of course, advised Of the reasons
for their action, but from what we can
learn, the terms upon which the Townsend
and Massey's branch were offered could
not have been the obstacle Prudence is
great virtue, especially in those who
have charge of public money; but build
ing railroads is big venture at best, and
it would seem that the running of any con-
siderable portion of a road after it is built,
is consummation which should be effect
ed at the very earliest period The devcl-
opments of travel and frcights by the open
ing OF railroad through rich country like
like ours, cannot be arrived at-they always
exceed the expectations of those who are
not familiar with such enterprises, aud
the probabilities are all in favor of the un-
dcrtaking. Admitting, however, that the
receipts for the first year should not equal
the expenditures, it seems to us that any
reasonable deficiency would be a good in
vestment in the way of additional credit to
the road. The bonds of railroad which
the Directors thereof are unwilling to run,
are not likely to realize much in the mar
ket. On the contrary the bonds of read
which gives evidence of progress and en-
terprisc, will go largely towards its con-
structiop.
The running of this road would stimu-
late the payment of subscriptions, and a
wake afresh the interest of our citizens
The people want some practical demon
stratlon of progress; and the regular de-
parture and arrival Of the cars would be-
get confidence in the efforts of the man
ayers not otherwise attainable.
The Directors have expended consider
able sums in an engine, station-houses,
turntables, &c. in fact, they have pre-
pared the road for action, and now, at this
date, to furl sails and lay by for growing
crops and better prospects will be actually
damaging to the credit of the road. The
bravest, boldest-we do not mean reckless
-spcculators, are the most successful: !:
and the popular judgement in this case,
whatever it is worth, is, that the road
ought to be run.

by the commission-mcn, $2O,OO0 it still
leaves $50, 600 for carriage; then 10 per
cent charged on this 100000 as sales,
and you have the grand total of $66, 600
directly robbed out of the Peach Growers.
Then come home in Delaware and add
$50, 900 more, robbed by the State Tax
bill on Rail Roads, and you have a total
of $o6, 900 unjustly taken from the Peach
Growers of Delaware on one crop. Then
again, last year, there was 1000 car loads
of peaches shipped, and take Dover as the
standard of $l35 car, and you have
$54O, 600 freight paid by the Peach busi-
ness Now, suppose we can get the said
freight reduced $35 per car from Dover,
it would have been on last years crop
$l4O.Ooo. Then add $50, 600 for cart
age, over commission and State tax, and
you have the grand total of $226 900,
that can be saved, this year, on such u
crop of peaches as we had the last year.
Therefore the necessity of Peach Growers
uniting in associations to protect them
selves from extravagant charges as above.

The Boston Post says The Prince of
Wales is by no means singular in bis rank
for alleged departure from that moral rec
titude of which his father was perfect
pattern. He has knocked about the
world of capitals with loosencss that
would shame young bloods of no less keen
appetite but greater respect for social de-
corousness. His pcncham for public
singers and dancers he has been at no
pains to dissenblc. The English nation
wipes off his scores, his royal mamma is
fortified behind amplest accumulations, his
connexions are well to do on every side,
and, until summoned to take the rens,
he thinks he may as well occupy the time
with seeding down his fallow-feld with a
square crop of wild oats But he forgets
about the harvest, when the sickle is to
be put in for rcaping only what he has
scattered with so riotous bounty. The
divorce suit now in progress, (Mordaunt, }
in which the Prince figures to such public
disadvantage, cannot be hushed up. The
heir-apparent is brought to book and bill
Victoria's puritanic fastidousness with her
court family comes to a sad termination
in result like this. A baronet sues for
divorce and inculpates the name of one
who is the expectant ruler of the realm.
The whole business is Notifying, evil and
disgraceful, and shows that whatever
fashions have changed about European
courts and palaces, this one of royal de-
bauchery is in full practice.

The 15Tn AMENDMENr.-The Smyrna
Times speculates in this wise upon the eff
feet of the Fifteenth Amendment, upon
parties in Delaware
Our colored population in 1860 was
Il l,627, and it is not probable that it has
increased much. Estimating that one in
seven of them can vote, we have a little
over 5000 additional voters by their fran
chisement; putting the ratio of votables
on the one-fifth basis and there would be
an increase of 1925. They also estimate
that of that number at least one tenth will
vote the Democratic ticket the first time.
We do not know whether this vote will
change the political complexion of our
State or not"

Fisk AND GREELEY.-There have been
many startling events in New York re-
Gently, sensation having succeeded sensa-
ton with rapidity so marvellous that the
provincial month has been kept constantly
agape with astonishment at the contents OF
the newspapers published in that wonder
ful berg But the promised performance
of Mr.. James Fisk, Jr. unless postponed
on account Of the weather, will give ilir
to the interest of the same journals that
cannot fail to increase their circulation
He has put it upon record that g Horace
Greeley's coat must be dusted," and init
mates his ability to do the dusting in q
satisfactory manner. The feat will be a
hazardous one, beyond anything in its
perils that the Prince of Erie has ever un.
dertaken. The Tribune has loud and
persistent twang; it accuses people of ly.
ing, thieving and rufianism with noisy
below that has sound but no justification
in it, but any responsibility to which ii
might be held would so increase its clam
or that ordinary occupation would be per
cessarily suspended. Dusting the jacket
of its chief would crea dust that would
stife the duster; if the Prince has friends
let them hold him until his ebullition has
subsidized, The old coat is not worth dust
ing, although perhaps it deserves it

path, and Mr.. Gladstone holds his way by
another The material point of departure
IS OF course the Irish question Mr..
Bright is of opinion that that question is
OF sufficient Importance to engross the time

inclined to treat it in rather optimistic
way, and asserts that it is not more diff
cult of management as such other matters

Postmaster-General and Mrs. Creswell,
some weeks ago, beautifully moulded
deer was brought on the table. Not only
was the form perfect, but the coloriug was
shown in different kinds of ices. The
breast was white. and the delicate shades
of fawn-color were given, gradually deep
ening into chocolate. Antlcrs of brown
candy, beautifully made, appeared in the
proper place. At dinner given by Mr..
Robeson, cut watermelon appeared A
green ice formed the rind, which was of
the usual thickness, and gradually paled
into white, and once more deepened into
rose-colOr, while seeds of chocolate candy
were interspersed through the simulated
pulp. So perfect was this design, that
MIR. Robeson turned in amazcment to the
waiter aud asked where he bad found a
watermelon.
