THE EUROPEAN PEACHES.

MR.. LOCKWOoD'S sTATEMENT-THE VAII
URE NOT FINAL-ACTION OF THE GROW
ERs-A MEETING AT MIDDLETowN.
Every one who has taken any interest II
the European shipment of peaches from
the Peninsula, is acquainted with the fail
ure of that effort. Mr.. Lockwood, wht
was the agent of the shippers, returned OF
the Ohio on Saturday, and makes the fol
lowing statement of the facts of
THE FAILURE OF THE SHIPMENT.
The steamer started on the 26th of Au.
gust, with fifteen tons of ice in the refriger-
ator, which Mr.. Bate, the agent, insisted
that this was amply sufficient. The tenn
perature was at 81 at o'clock on the night
of starting, and the next day fell to SO, and
4S on the 2Sth, which was the lowest
point reached. On the 3Oth the mercury
began to raise and on the 31st, the refriger-
ator was opened, but the fruit was then in
excellent condition, save in few cases
where specks were noticed. Captain Nor
ris then furnished more ice from the ships
stores, about ten tons, but on September 1st
the ice had all given out and the mercury
was at 81, and rose to 70 on the 9th, On the
9TH 1t was at 80 in the refrigerator, when
the compartment was opened and it was
found that the peaches were entirely rotten
and In state of fermentation. Mr.. Lock-
wood, upon landing attempted to sell the
fruit for distillation, but failed and was
compelled to give away the crates in order
to have the fruit taken from the wharf
A crate of Rus Favorites, which was
taken from the refrigerator and placed in
the ships ice room, was found upon landing
to be perfectly preserved. Mr.. Lockwood
fays that the prices which would have been
obtained in Liverpool for the fruit, would
not have satisfied the growers, as there is
plenty of fine looking peaches in London
from the continent, but tasteless, and that
our fruit would not have commanded more
than S2.SO per crate, but we are inclined to
doubt this, as when the people discovered
the superiority in the flavor of the Delaware
peaches, they would have sold for much
more than 49, When the steamer landed,
dealers from London and other cities, were
awaiting the cargoof peaches, and were dis
appointed when they discovered thatthey had
rotted. 1t was stated, also, that an agent
of the Queen had been there to look after a
supply for her larder.
ACTION OF THE GROWERS,
Mr.. Samuel Townsend, informed a HER
AID reporter on Saturday, that the ship
pers would hold a meeting at Middletown,
probably next week, to consider what action
it would be proper to take in reference to
the matter. 1t is their intention to sue the
Steamship Company for an alleged breach
of contract.

from Vienna, in which it is said that the
portion Of the Consular Commissioners who
returned to Mostar sly they are convinced
that, with . few exceptions the insurgents

they desire a suspension of hostilities mean

great powers guarantee certain reforms,
without which pacifcation will be illusory.

versed have been frightfully devastated.
The population has been decimated by d.

the country will be ruined for, many years

Secretary Delano's Conjecturcs al
to HIS Succossor.

| WAsHIsToN, Sept 27.-The correspon.
dence between the President and Secretary
Delano, regarding the latter's resignation
was made public here yesterday, and is the
principal topic of conversation In political
circles to-day. Nothing definite, can be
learned at this writing as to Mr.. Delano's
successor, but public opinion seems to set
tie upon some Ohioan or Pennsylvania,
although some politicians believe that the
appointment has been rendered TO- either
Congressman Pratt, or Gen. Clinton, or B.
Fisk, Chairman of the Board of Indian
Commissioners. .,r
Secretary Fish is the only member of the
Cabinet in the city, and he is very reluctant.
If he knows who the coming man is he sue
ceeds admirably in keeping it secret. He
says, however, that all the information he
has or the subject has been obtained from
the newspapers. One of the Presidents Sec
retarie's, at the White House, said nothing
had been received from the President on the
subject, and that he did not believe the sue
cessor had been finally decided upon, On
the other hand it is asserted very publicly
that the name of the appointee will be made
public during the day, but from what quarter
it is not known.
1t is understood that as soon as sue
cessor is appointed that Assistant Secretary
Cowan and Indian Commissioner Smith will
tender their designations, so as to relieve the
new Secretary from any embarrassment, in
case he should want to rearrange the De-
partment, which, it is believed, will be done.

LETTER FROM A CITIZEN.

EDITOR HERALD:-In Saturday
evenings issue of the Express I no.
tice communication from an indi-
vidual who signs his name as JAMES
German, and commenting on the re-
lations existing between the Catholic
Church and the Hibernian Society.
While perusing it I concluded that
statement so false and slanderous
should not be needed, but on seeing
the name of German it struck me at
once that he was an escaped Monk,
and seeking little notoriety; and
judging from the manner in which
he writes, 1 am satisfied that he needs
sympathy. He com mands mine in
the shape of instruction. advise him
to GO to better market than Los An
geles. If he has any talent he may
secure a position on the Jolly Giant,
or he may be able to arrange matters
with Edith o. German so as to join in
her crusade. Being of the same name
and perhaps related to Edith, and hav-
ing similar experience and entertain
ing equal horror for the Catholic
Church, think he would command
her attention; and as both of them are
above and below the law for libel, the
public will regard them as a curiosity,
and will reward them according as
they act their parts. My friendly ad-
vice to Mr.. o. German may he con-
strued into i'll will toward my Hiber-
nian neighbors, but as it is through
charity that / counsel Mr.. 0. German,
I trust that I offend no one; and as
the aye is past when characters like
German could do mischief, we should
all either instruct them or take no no.
tice of them. a CITIZEN.
