Correspondence Of The Commercial.
SALISBURY, MD, Aug. "a.
The deluge OF melons and peaches has di.
verted the attention Of our local papers, and the
other children of the town, from the fact that
the mudmachine has worked its way to our
wharves. Nevertheless, it is there, working
away rapidly (for mud machine, completing
the first cut OF the channel.
The river has been dyked for the purpose, and
the mud, &c, taken out il permanently lodged
20 that the channel cut will not soon fill. How
the mud and sand were to be gotten behind the
dykes after they were built, WAS problem, as
the channel in some places was some distance
from them but the genius OF G.. W. Parsons,
the contractor, solved it. He placed upon a
scow an upright steam-boiler to which he at
tached large pulsometer that throws a power
full stream of water into trough or eluice ee-
waited twelve or fifteen feet upon the scow into
this the mud machine dumps the mud and sand
which are carried any required distance to the
shore through connected sluces by the water.
In this way has been bnilt quito wide and
solid bank behind the dykes, and standing on the
bridge one evening during its progress heard
a youth telling credulity in calico that when the
bank reached the bridge, the town authorities
were going to plant upon 1t willows and sod it
with grass; and then he drew picture of moon
lit nights in the fnture where the twain should
walk there, &c. But, alas for the picture one
of the property holders refused to contribute his
share of expenses, when dykes were built, so
when the captain Of the machine reached this
place he calmly turned his sluices and sent the
mud and sand on the other side of the river max
ing serious break in the bank; 80 you SEQ how
circumstance combines with inclination to make
men lie to women.
There is a general satisfaction in the Demo-
cratic ranks in this county with their State tick
ct but a strong element Of opposition exists to
anything like "ring" management of local af-
fairs. The fact ia, by some sort of revolution,
the strong mon have been relegated to the ranks
and the leadership has fallen upon weak shoul.
.ders. 1t is Thought that the call for primary
election will issue for the 18th Of September.
Should the work OF the convention show evil
dence Of manipulation, the local ticket will have
no assurance Of election. The Republicans will
very likely cooperate with an independent
movement, should one be inaugurated. Their
leaders are shrewd men. but are lacking the
qualities Of aggressive campaigning, and to this
weakness the Democrats, under their present
leaders, their large majority, If not their Of
fees, in this county. The independent element
contains all the able political leaders we have
but their position embarrasses their energies.

The Indian Business.

THE NEW YORK HERALD DOUBTS THE PRoPRIETY OF
THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CABINET REMAIN
ING WITH DELANo.
New YoRK, Aug. 25.
The Herald, this morning, discusses the ques-
ton whether the other members Of the Cabinet
should remain in the Cabinet in review of the
fact that Mr., Delano, against whom serious
charges, affecting his honor aud honesty, have
been made, is retained and supported by the
President. The Herald says that nobody doubts,
who have read the charges of Professor Marsh,
Mr. Welsh, Mr.. Walker and others, and the ex-
posure made, and says further that under the
management OF Mr.. Delano there has been gross
corruption i'll the Indian Bureau, and known to
him.
The accusations against him are positive
and crcumstautial, and are made by men
of honor and character who are in q posi-
ton to know whereof they speak. The Presi-
dent, In the face of their charges, retains Mr..
Delano. Can the rest Of the Cabinet afford to
retain their places if Gen. Grant does not dis
miss mim2 The real question is, shall they
lend their character to Genl. Grant to shield an
officer openly and squarely charged with grave
corruption and fraud?
We don't pretend to advise, for it is question
which each must settle for himself.

The August Rains and Their Cause

Tuesdays New York World publishes the
statements of Sergeant Beall, observer in that
city for the U. s. Signal Service. 1t says:
:" Mr.. Beall predicts but slight rains for the
next, few days, if any. The rain on Monday ex-
tended along the coast from Maine to the Gulf
OF Mexico. and was caused by the meeting OF
the humid sea breeZes and the cold wave from
the north. The weather in the West was clear
on Monday, with cool northerly winds. MIR.
Baall considers that the heavy rains are at an
end They were caused, he says, by continuous
southerly winds. 1t has been unusually warm
IN the Gulf regions, with but little rain. The
AIR, being hot, was capable of holding large
amount of moisture without precipitation, which
moved continually to the north in regular cur
rents. As the currents moved northward the air
became cooler and the rain fell heavily. The
rainy spell began on the I'd inst. and continued
Till tho 18th. During this period the air was
IN continual state of abnormal humidity.
The winds were generally light there being no
dangerous opes during the whole period. Their
greatest pecularity was in blowing continuously
from the same direction. From the I'd to the
i6, there fell in this city 1901 inches or rain,
me greatest fall bsins on the 18th lust when
33i inches fell There was but slight rain fall
on the Gulf coast, the heaviest being in the ONO
Valley. The storms were accompanied by but
little thunder aud lightning. and we're mostly
short and violent.
Summer storms as a general thing move from
the south nor Inward, while fall and winter
storms first appear in the northwest, and move

twenty miles per hour. The probabilities for

IRON ORE DISCOVERED AT HocKEssIN.-
Although it has been known for many years
past that iron ore existed in small quantities
hero aud there through Hockessin Valley, it
was never known, until a few days ago, that
it existed in sufficient deposits to warrant any
special effort TO mine it.
Juhu G. jackson, SO long resident OF that
valley, and probably more acquainted with its
mineral resources than any other per-
son, has always entertained the idea that
iron abounded in large quantities some place
i'll the valley. For some tune past, he has been
prospecting for the ore, but not until last week
was he rewarded in part for lis trouble. Dig
ging down about eight feet he came upon a
bed of pure iron ore, In Jumps the size OF
large apples, winch is said to contain about 40
per cent OF IRON. There was about bushel OF
these Jumps in one spot and there was every
indication that ore xisted there in largo quan'
titles.
A more thorough examination Of the premises
will be made to SEQ If sufficient ore exists te
make mining profitable.
