PRESENT PROSPECTS FOR THE COMING SEASON
MORE NEW SCENERY.
Unles4 there should come a revival in business
and money become more thoroughly diffused
among the people, 1t is not probable that the
comiug dramatic and musical SESSION III Whining
ton wall be in anywise an improvement over the
last. STILL several applications have been made
for the refusal OF certain nights by a number of
tronpeS, but only one positive engagement has
been made that for Cough on the 2lst of Octo-
ber. In arranging their seasons schedules of
perfurSnnces the agents are not unmindful OF
Wilmington, but are considering their prospects
and opportunities here, and some tirst-class
dramatic companies have forwarded letters of
inquiry. Several ventures will undoubtedly be
ma le' and the success they meet with will deter
IN ne the season.
lns far during the recess nothing has been
dlnc towards fitting up the Opera House for an
other season, but in short time work will com
menee. The auditorium will undergo thor.
ou5h cleansing, but no changes or alterations
Of any kind will be made. The stage will also
remain az 1t has heretofore, but some new seem
cry will be added. In few weeks a painter
who IL now employed at Simmons 4 Slocum's,
III pMladelphia, will be down to prepare some
additional scenes. What these will be has not
yet been fully settled upon, but it il probable
That darker landscape and lighter woodlawn
Will be spread out upon the canvas.

The base ball match oil Saturday, between the
Smyrna and Middletown clubs, was one of the
closest contested games of the season. The
weather was delightful, and large number OF
spectators, including many of the fair sex, were
on the grounds aud gave vent to their apprccia-
tion Of the excellent playing Of both parties in
rounds of hearty applause. The Middletown nine
was strong one, especially OH batting, and was
principally composed, as we learned from good
authority, of players from Galena, Warwick,
Odessa and Philadelphia.
For the first five innings theyled off in fine
style and with tiatteriny prospects, while the
most enthusiastic friends Of the Smyrnas were
giving up all hope of victory but gaining
age from some splendid plays which scored for
them several runs, and by wbitewashing their
opponents several times in succession, finally
came Off victorious by a score of 18 to %. The
Middletown nine behaved themselves in the most
gentlemanly manner, and the utmost good feel
ing prevailed between the clubs.
Frank Murray, who keeps little confection-

sible in the yard with his face badly bruised and
beaten, it is supposed with a billy by these
scoundres, who made good their escape.

The Cron Prn,nccIs.

The monthly report of the Commissioner Of
Agriculture for July just out, is, in the main, a
very encouraging exhibit of tho crop prospects
area Of 100000 acres, the percentage of in
crease being the largest in the south. The con-
dition OF corn is generally good in the west, but
elsewhere variable. The only states reporting
average condition, or above, are Massachusetts
of the eastern states, Pennsylvania of the mid
die states, Maryland, South Carolina Georgia,
Florida and Texas of the southern states, aud
the western states, except Minnesota reporting
ninety four, and California and Oregon. III
eleven states the condition of the crop s above
the average. The average condition of winter
wheat is reported at 104. Spring wheat shows
an average OF SO. The cotton-planters report an
improvement in the condition OF the plant in
every State The percentages of average condi-
tion are generally considerably higher than in
June. The average condition of the oats crop is
80, the maximum being, ill Nebraska, 1l3 and
the minimum, i'll Kentucky, 81. Winter rye is
full average, or above in most of the States, and
very nearly average IN several others. Barley and
potatoes promise well. Gloomy reports of the
tobacco crop are received. The severe drought
prevailing in sections specially devoted to to-
bacco culture, together with the destruction of
plants by insects, has reduced the acreage in
this crop to less than half of that of 1873. The
only tobacco state showing an increased acreage
is MARYLAND, 109. The heaviest reduction is
found in Kentucky, which returns an acreage of
but 26 per cent, OF the previous year. 1t seems
sufficiently clear that in the most hopeful as
much less than half of last years even If the
conditions OF growth should be most favorable
for the remainder of the season. The states
cultivating sugar cane report an increased av-
erage OF from one to ten per cent. A few of the
states have increased the average of sorghum.

The Postal Car Controversy.

CONCLUSION REACHED-No INTERRUPTION IN
THE SERVICE.
After considerable correspondence between
President Hinckley, the acting Postmaster Gen.
eral and Special Agent Bangs, yesterday, the pos
tai cars oil the New York and Washington line
came over the p. W. & B. r. r. and the contro-
versy is now settled, at least for the present.
Yesterday morning, Mr.. Bangs dispatched mes
senger to Mr. Hinckey with his final statement,
saying that the mails would be rendered to the
z. w. &. b. Co. upon their arrival but in no case
would the Department agree to pay greater
compensation than that fixed by Congress and
now paid to the r. W. B. Co. In reply, Mr.
Hinckley informed Mr., Bangs that if the agents
put the mails into the p. W. & b. cars such
ton wonld be construed into an order to the
mails at the rates demanded, and they would be
dispatched through. " If, continued Mr. Hink-
ly, "you cannot pay those rates do not let your
agents put any mail into any of our cars, and
then plead ignorance of the obligations the Post
Office Department is under in consequence.
Further kilograms were then sent from the
acting Postmaster General, still adhering 10 his
former proposition and when the mails were
tendored to the p. W. & d. II. r. Co., yesterday
at the usual hour, they were accepted and sent
on through as formerly. 1t would therefore
seem that Mr.. Hmckley consents to transport
the mails over his own road, under protest, at
the old rate of compensation

UNNECESSARY FORCE AT EXTRA ExPENsE-LARGE
PAY AND NO sMUGGLERs CAUGHT.
Our neighbor Doctor Knowles of the Break
tcdter Light, who lives near enough to the scene
of action to know all about it, resenta the charge
OF the Republican, of this city, that he wants to
be Custom House officer at Lewes, and declares
that there are already too many such officials
there. He says;
An editor who publishes such a column in his
paper as the republican invariably has under
the head OF "Religious," should have no further
ambition than to seek the salvation Of the Whole
world, or if he find that too much Of task, he
should try at least to harmonize all the little diff
ferences in his party with view of its success,
and not continually be trying to stir up strife
and breed contention where the best feeling
should prevail. nice Republican he is, and q
"Ringer" at that. We want no Office, never
asked for one, and if We had, we should not have
asked ID whore We thuugnu none should exist,
in this case Of Inspectors here, there is no use
now for such an officer or officers here nor has
there ever been, only for sinecure purposes.
At this point where smugglers are as thick
as blackberries, or would he only for the eficien-
cy Of our highly valued officers, the cost to the
government is
Two inspectors, 5000 each per annum, 49,. $500
Six oarsmen, $400 per annum, ............. .2400
Total, $4,000
Here we have an aggregate of four thousand
and two hundred dollars besides expenses for
boat, Offices, boat house. &c, (incidentals inclu
ded) when, we venture to say, that not a sin
gle dollars worth has ever been intercepted or
seized, nor have the officers ever seen anything
unless it was brought to their kitchen doors for
sale, by those who had kept better watch
and had the service better to heart than
the officers. We know whereof We
speak. We believe however, that there was a
dozen bottles of gin seized here once from Capt.
Wm. Fowler, but it was seized in town after the
faithful old gentleman had labored all night to
get it put away. Part of the gin, however, was
drank in town, the remainder of the invoice
vent to Philadelphia, and may be there yet for
what we know, awaiting the coming of the Cen
tennial. At least nothing thus far has ever been
heard of it.
Now, for Heavens sake, Mr.. Vernon, don't
hoist our name at the head of your editorial col
umns, as an applicant for custom officer here
for those already here should be discharged at
once, as there is no need, no service.
