ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN THE MANAGEMENT
Lands OVERTHROW.
The election for officers of the Smyrna & Del
aware Bay Railroad Co., after having been post
poned nearly month, was held at Smyrna, on
the LIST inst. Tue vote resulted in the total
change of the officers, and revolution, is
supposed in the policy of the corporation. Mr..
@. X. Landis, the magnate of Vinelandis among
those turned out The new Board includes the
following John II. Hoffecker, John O. Siocky,
H. @. Douglass, Geo. W. Oummins, Samuel Rob
erts, Henry N. Wickersham and Jacob II Alice
At meeting on Friday John H. Hoffecker was
elected President ]. @. Stockly, Secretnry /;
II. @. Douglass, Treasurer.
In reference to the subject, the Smyrna Times
says -
Mr.. Spruance, the late President, al is gener-
ally known, had entered into contract with Mr..
Landis to construct the road for $500, 900. The
route had been located and the survey was sub
mitted to the stockholders. The plans of Mr..
Spruance did not meet with the approval of the
stockholders, however, and, to defeat them
a new Board Of Directors was elected.
The assertion that the new Board are oppo 5ed
to the construction of the road is not correct
they say. They are in favor Of more explicit
plans and perhaps different terminus for the
Bay end Of the road. As the contract now stands,
the road is to terminate at Spruance's Wharf |;
many prefer the mouth Of the Creek. The new
Board while they want the road, propose ''tO
make haste slowly" as we understand them.
We believe that a railroad to the Bay is only a
question Of time. If Smyrna does not improve
her opportunity Dover will take it. chartt +
for road to Mahon's is already in existence, and
since the meeting of Thursday last we ars in-
formed that Dover has proposed to enter into
the enterprise il Smyrna does not want it. But
Smyrna does Mr.. Landis, in visit here recent
ly, assured some of the stockholders that Mr..
Garrett, of the Baltimore Il Ohio road, had
agreed to run line of boats from Baltimore to
aid the road if the connection shall be made
between Clayton and Massey's. He favors this
scheme and proposes to encourage it.

The Produc,Ion of su.nac.

Tie manufacturers of morocco, in their re-
cent visit to Washington, urged that the duty
now laid on imported sumac should be retained,
in order that its production, now rapidly iucreas-
ing, might soon be able to compete successfully
with the foreign article. This was fair and
honorable, as well as a sensible, concession su-
mac gathering and it's manufacture, have grown
to be quite important industries in the South,
employing large numbers of persons. There
are about seventeen mills in Virginia alone, en-
gagged in grinding ii, and their product, last
yoar was 5000 tons of sumac, worth at least,
s9OO,OOO. John G. Hurkamp, of Fredericke-
burg, who is the largest manufacturer, grinds
about 900 tons years.

AARON M. POWELL AT FRIENDS MEETING HOUSE.
The gathering at Friends Meeting House., on
West street, last evening, to listen to the ad-
dress OF Aaron M. Powell, OF New York, was a
very large one and the house was well filled
Mr.. Powell delivered very interesting address,
replete with telling facts concerning the misery

the licensed traffic of rum. OF the petition re-
Gently sent to Congress- from number Of our
citizens for National prohibition Of the sale Of
spurious liquors, he said it was received by
Senator Salisbury, who warmly approved the ac-
ton taken by his friends at home, and presented
ii to the Senate with his hearty recommendation,
and that the petition was properly referred. He
spoke Of the necessity Of the Interference of the
National Government as well as the State Gov
ernment, as a proof OF which he spoke of Ii
quor dealers locating in Yineland, N. j., where
the people were protected by State law and in
defiance Of this, these liquor dealers carried on
their ruinous traffic because they had license
from the general Government. The address
was interspersed with several anecdotes, of a
humorous but effective character.
At the close of Mr. Powells address, the con-
stitution of the Temperance Association was
read, and blank copies Of petitions were distri-
buted among the members to procure additional
signers. The petition which was recently sent
to Congress- contained 796 names, and mauy

A special despatch from Halifax, Nova Scotia,
says it is reported that treaty exists and has
been signed for the separation of the Canadian
Dominion from the British Empire.
The items were agreed upon, when the Act of
Confederation was passed, but the treaty was
not to take effect for some years, unless the
British Government saw the necessity for sooner
acting.
In consequence of tie treaty, the British
troops were withdrawn.
Should difficulty arise with the United States
the British government will at once publish the
treaty and be relieved from the necessity of de-

Temnernnce In Now Ierney.

Never before in the history of Temperance in
New Jersey has that cause elicited the support
of 80 many prominent men of all shades Of po-
litical and religious faith, as at present. Men
hitherto indifferent, aud others who have been
dsgusted with the conduct of the few who have
used the cause as stepping-stone to place and
position, are now foremost among those who
are urging legislative action in that behalf. The
meeting OF the State Temperance Alliance at
Trenton on Thursday of last week gave unmis-
takeable proof of this. That either a State
Local Option Law, or some other statute equal
ly effective will be passed by the present legis-
lature seems to be generally believed. Camden

The Drama.
JANAuscHEK IN MACBETH.

The tragedy of Macbeth goes to the extremity
OF all that is black and bad in the catalogue of
human passions. Treading itself, on the limits
Of the supernatural, it could not be more dark
and horrible, without actually descending to
creatures and regions internal.
In this, the central figure of the cruel and
bloody plot, the wife who tempts her husbands
bad ambition to a companionship with her in
guilt, claims none OF our sympathy, as does the
unfortunate Mary Stuart, and the actress who
enacts the part, must depend upon her dramatic
force, her artistic talent. and tragic powers, to
command the applause of her audience. That
Janauschek did this, last evening needs not to
be told the large audience who heard and saw
her Fierce, cruel, unrelenting, the strength
andhdelty Of her action claimed and commanded
The breathlesa admiration of her beholders. Mr..
Leylcks support, as Macbeth, WAS efficient and
hne. 1t would have won him high honor, with
ton.

A French writer takes the ground that the di-
amonds Of the Cape of Good Hope were origin
ally components Of aeroltes which fell there, and
were scattered over a great distance in a certain
definite direction. The view is largely based
upon the asserted fact that these objects occur
on the summit of the highest mountains and in
the plains, but very rarely II ever, at great
depths.
