Mercer, and West Jersey, can pour in twenty
Thousand more.
Abraham Browning, Of Camden, 10 now
preparing an address to be delivered on this
occasion, giving history Of the State and
her progress in agriculture, manufactures,
and the mechanic arts, with subscription of
the wealth of her mineral and other re-
sources.
1t has been suggested that all should go
prepared with a lunch SO as not to be skinned
on the grounds by exorbitant charges.
The Commissioners are exceedingly anx-
ious that thisdisplay should be made on the
part of New Jersey. 1t will no doubt be fol-
lowed by other States. But there is some
credit in leading off in a grand display like
the one anticipated.
It is intended thatthe Governor and all the
State officials shall be present to receive the
people and entertain them, in such way as
they may devise.
All the municipal governments Of the State
viii be expected to be represented on this
memorable occasion and Indeed, the desire
of the Commissioners is that the whole State
shall give one day to the great Centennial. -
If properly responded to, this will be the
grandest sight that Jerseymen ever have seen
or ever will see again.
The day has not yet been named, although
the nth day of August has been iutimated.
The Governor has that matter in charge and
will fix on time in few days.

The Hanterdon Democrat does not like it
because the Republican papers will persist in
calling the Democratic House of Representa-
tives "The Confederate. House, and the
star-chamber committees of that body "smellA
ing committees. We don't know of more
appropriate names. To makeup the Demo-
cratic majority in, the House there are some
sixty rebel generals and rebels of lesser de-
gree, aud these men, aided by their northern
allies, have put out of Office Union soldiers
and have placed ex-rebels in their positions.
They have also been engaged for months in
an effort to "smell'' out corruption In high
places for the benefit of their party in the
present Presidential campaign. The manner
in which they have performed their duty
proves their purpose. They have unearthed
one clear case of corruption-that of Belknap
and have thrown together mass of one
sided evidence, in many cases from men of no
standing, which unexplained by rebutting ev-
idence, has questionable look, but when this
rebutting evidence is unwillingly received by
them, the utter falsity Of the charges is shown,
as in the case Of Blame, Robson and others.
Yet these "smeling committees have not
tho manliness to render justice to these men,
but the lies concocted must be kept going un-
til after the election. Then, perhaps. justice
may be done.

3 A FA1ttRE.-W "Wednesday last was the day
appointed for the farmers of Hunterdon
County to bring IN samples of their produc.
tions to be exhibited at the Centennial.
Whether the farmers forgot the matter OF
whether they had nothing to bring we know
not, but only two farmers Judge F. 8. Hol-
eombe, of Mt. Airy, and Mr. Martin Smith,
of Sunnyside, were on hand.
Judge HoIcombe exhibited C1awson Wheat,
Saxonian Barley, Schooner Oats, Surprise
Oats, eight-rowed shelled Corn, two punches
of Timothy--one of them having stalks four
feet three inches in length, with number of
heads over nine inches long-a bunch Of
Orchard grass five and d half feet in length.
| Mr. Smith presented splendid specimens OF
Clawsou White and Red Wheat
Weare sorry that our farmers manifest nc
more concern in this display. New Jerse,
should not be behind other States in the
quantity or quality Of farm productions al
the Centennial, and we should have been
glad to have seen more pride exhibited by
our own county producers in the affair."

The f'rt5une don't show as much respect
for the Democratic campaign orators as it
should. Senator Stockton and Leon Albeit
were conspicuous speakers alta recent meet

ton to the fact that Stockton was shameless
salary grabber, and that Albeit is identified
with may questionable things in New Jersey
politics. The two Democratic ratification
meetings held last week in that city we're
manifest failures, and showed great lack of

EXTENSION or BUSINESS are glad to
learn that the LambertviIle Manufacturing
Co. are about to extend their business. They
are now engaged in fitting up the large frame
building in the south western end of their
property as rubber-boot mandatory, and
will commence the manufacture of rubber
boots some time in September. They will
employ thirty or more additional hands, but
as this new branch requires skilled workmen
who thoroughly understand their trade, they
will have to be secured from other establish
ments, and we may therefore say, parenthet-
ically, that 1t will be useless for those unac-
quainted with the business to apply for work.
The boots to be manufactured are patented
and are said to be superior article. The
superintendent of this department is a
gentleman who has beetl connected for a
number Of years witHIone Of the most extern
sive manufactures in the country, and who is
thoroughly. posted in hi! business. The es-
adjustment will turn out about 300 pairs per
day. The entire product Of this department.
is engaged by one of the largest wholesale
houses in New York.
Our rubber factory is one of the most en-
terprising and lively manufactures in our
city, and we are glad to see thatit is /" length
ening its cords as well as strengthening its
stakes.' Careful business management com
bined with enterprise is sure to meet with
success, and in this success our city shares,
for this extension of business will add to the
population of our city and benefit our mer-
chants and business men. And we may here
state that this is probably but the beginning
of business which is likely to grow to very
much larger proportions.

THE DELAWARE PEACH CRoP.-Severa
sales of peach orchards have been made by
the growers to the commission men in cities
at what is considered fair prices. Recently
an orchard of several thousand trees in the
vicinity of Mddletown was sold at forty five
cents per basket, but this is below the usua
price heretofore paid, which was fifty cents
and In some cases as high as fifty-five cents q
basket. u.s.
