DOVER, June 16, 1874.
This Association met in pursuance to ADJOURN
ment, in Culbreth's Hall, at = o'clock, r. NJ.
Tho regular President and Secretary OF the
Association being absent, OH motion OF Samuel
Townsend, Esq, 5. +. Shellcross, Of New Castle
county, was elected President, and on motion of
Col George b. Dickson, L. Il. Cochran, Of st.
Georges Hd., was appointed Secretary.
The meeting was unusually small in numbers,
and the major portion of those in attendance came
from New castle county. The peach growers of
Kent county do not seem to manifest the usual
interest in the meetings Of the Association this
season, which, no doubt is in great agree, owing
to the light crops anticipated.
MIR. Townsend exhibited quite number of
twigs OF various varieties OF peaches among
which were the following:
Old Nixon, very good Early York, fell and
excellent crop; smock, light, but fair crop
Crawford's Early good Moore's Favorite, pretty
good Hale's Early, Very full.
The crop will be exceedingly light iu the vicin-
ity OF Dover-probably not sufficient to supply
the various canneries III the neighborhood. / be-
lieve Mr. William Walker is about the only one
who will have anything like full crop The
fields around Smyrna will also be light There
will be but few peacher in Sussex county other
than the Hale's Early. As general thing the
crop ia New Castle county will be confined to the
two lower hundreds
After general intel change Of views among these

which will probably prove nearly carrsct We

Elections this Year.

This is sort of off year on elections,
yet 1874 is not entirely devoid of po-
litical interest. The pool will be suf-
ficiently stirred to unseat many mag
mates and give many aspirants the
fruition of their hopes. New elements
will enter into the contest in many
States, which will render results here
tofore considered certain, sufficiently
doubtful to invest the fight with more
than ordinary interest, and call forth
the full strength of those who seek the
peoples stewardship. The following,
relative to elections and Senatorial
terms will be of interest to those who
read politics:
Eighteen States elect Governors,
thirty-tive elect Representatives, and
twenty-five Legislatures elect Sena-
tors. The following named Senator'S
terms expire ON the 4th of next March:
Hagar of California, Buckingham of
Connecticut, Bayard of Delaware, Gill

IT has been said and wisely said,
that San Francisco without a sensa-
ton is unhappy. If she finds herself
unhappy she Immediately proceeds to
work herself into blissful state of
manufacturing sensation. Of MUIR
ders, single murders, double murders
and suicides she has had more than a
feast of late. The appetite for blood
begun to pail. Something must be
done. A change of dish was absolute
ly necessary and an attack upon Off
Gals was decided upon. The Mayor
and Chief of Police voted to ignore
certain charges preferred against a
couple of policeman, and for this a
brace of the city papers abused and
continue to abuse these two high Off
ciais worse than pickpockets. The
sensation was needed and must be had
even If obtaine at the expense of, and
by blasting the character of two of
San Francisco's most worthy and re-
spectacle citizens.

Railroad Prospects.

However much we may all condemn
the policy of voting vast sums of the
peoples money to railroad corpora
tions, and however strongly We may
dtnounce the arbitrary acts and the
bligh, ing eXtortions OF railroad COM
panies, we all realize the one great
fact that it is to railroads, and rail-
roads alone, we must look for the
speedy development of Southern CALI
fornia. We all realize the power OF
the Southern Pacific and the Texas
Pacific for the accomplishment of this
purpose. We know that these roads
will do more to fill our country with
the hardy, industrious population we
so much need, than any other one or
a dozen steps that may be taken. The
country is here. We have the soil and
mineral wealth sufficient to support
millions of people. Our climate is UNI
surpassed. What we want is popula-
ton. The railroad will supply this
great desideratum, and therefore We
want the railroad. We do not care
who builds or runs it. 1t is with
pleasure that the people of Los Ange-
les valley receive any and all inform
alton indicating the early commence
ment of operations on the Texas Pacific
or fer the speedy completion of the
South Pacific to this city. We no.
tice that the bonds of the Southern
Pacific road are steadily advancing in
the European market, and it is ru-
mored that if certain negotiations now
pending for the sale of large amount
of these bonds are successful, the COM
pany will not discontinue operations
at Bakersfield, but will push the road
on to this point without delay. With
the exception of tunnel or two, the
preparation for the road bed will not
require great deal of time ncr incur
extraordinary expense. The company
realize the Importance of completing
the road at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and nothing but want of funds
has caused suspension OF the work.
The section extending the track to
Bakersfield will soon be finished, and
it is to be hoped the company will soon
be in condition to continue the work
without interruption until it meets the
road at San Fernando, and thus give
Los Angeles valley continuous line
of railroad to San Francisco.
