CONGRESSIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE
We have noted no proceedings either in
Congress or in our State Legislature
during the pas: week which calls for
particular mention. In the latter body,
from the amount of work cut ont and
the amount performed, j, is beginning
10 be feared that some needed legisla-
ii IN will be defeated for want Of time
or so crowded upon the last days of the
session Us to prevent careful supervis-
ion. Our law makers are, however. hard
ut work at latest accounts and nigh,
sessions are already being held or are
about TO be. The investigation bust
hess has much delayed the progress of
legislation and for this the Reformers
are chiefly, il not altogether. responsible
The Legislative contested election cases
are all in stafH quo, and, so far as the
Senatorship from this county is con-
cerned, the democratic contestant, DIR.
Lynch, has not even been treated to the
courtesy Of n hearing.

PEACH AND PEAR PRospEcT.-Up to

peach and pear trees are plentifu!iy pep
pered with them. Whether Il esq each
and pear insects are Of the same or SINH
lar species or what effect they may have
upon the tree or frnit. We are not com.
petert to say, though We would suppose
they bode no good TO either. Mr.. Jas.
I. Abell, of Newtown Manor, left at
our Office q few days since the branch
of a pear tree which had been attacked.
The insect burrows in the skin of the
tree and manifests its appearance
by slight elevations Of the bark. In the
specimen branch shown US, these eleva-
tions covered nearly the entire surface
and upon opening several aud inspecting
with a microscope, we discovered multi.
tudes of eggs or whitish particles re-

GEN. HANCOCK AND THE PREsIpxx-
cY.-As the chief capital in trade Of the
Opposition in the coming Presidential
campaign il certain to be the Bloody
Shirt" business, Andcrsouville and cog
nate topics, it suggests itself to us, that
il would he wise move on the part of
democrats in making their presidential
nomination to take the wind out of their
enemy's sails by giving a mar like Gen.
Hancock the first place on their ticket.
The war service Of HancocE, though
marked by moderation and humanity,
isfairly up 10 the fullest requirements
81 loyalty, whilst his record since the
war. and particularly his conduct at New
Orleans, aud especially his pure life. his
consistent, persistent though modest
democracy, have given him high and
secure place in conservative esteem
With Hancock, the party could slide
over" the currency embarrassment BY
n compromise which could be made, in
The present state Of public sentiment.
in the interest Of no other aspirant
whom We can recall He has identified
himself neither with resumption nor in
f4tion andis thus antagonized TO no cur.
reney element in the democratic rarty.
indeed, it is claimed by his friends,
that, though in thorough rapport with
democratic principles, he is non-par
,isan on all subjects. except the sub
ordination Of the military to the civil
power and the supremacy Of the Con-
stitution in everything. The locality
If Hancock is another strong point in
his favor, and with good second and
clear ringing platform, the chances Of
success under his leadership, in our best
ju lgmcnt. are greatly in excess of those
.: any asrirant who has yet been named.
