At the conclusion of the Louisiana

afternoon, when the new member, Mr..
Acklin, proceeded to the front of the

Congressman has usually been under the
awkward necessity of declining to take.
But Mr.. Acklin signified to ths Speaker
that it was all right, that he could take
the test oath and that it would not be ne

The reading was continued and the strin-

The Peach Crop.
THE PRESENT PROSPECT FOR THE CROP
OF 1878.

THE PRESENT PROSPECT FOR THE CROP
OF 1878.
. The peach growers throughout the
State have commenced the agitation oil
the freight question, in view Of the pros
poets of large peach crop this season.
The yield the past summer was faiI
one, and growers realized profit of from
forty to fifty cents per basket, a much
better return than has been realized for
several years past; therefore, with pros
psct of larger crop thisyear the growers
hope TO still make a handsome sum II
freights are reduced to what they think
fair price. Last fall number of trees
we're cut down, particularly Of Hale's
early, but the new ones planted will
greatly outnumber those rooted up, and
as many more, 1t is thought, will be
planted this spring.
The present winter has been very favo-
rable for large crop, the buds being
numerous and presenting very healthy
appearance. Another indication of a
large crop is that they are, what does moi
often happens many fruit buds as wood
buds. The wood buds are those from
which the wood grows that will furnish
the peach buds for 1879, while the peach
buds spring from the wood formed last
year.
Hale's early peaches, they were great
favOrites few years since, are not mucf
sought for now by the growers;but Troth',
early, which ripens very soon aftel
Hale's are receiving more attention il
! this portion of the State. There are few
planting still earlier variety, known a
the .'Beatrice;" but, as the fruit is small
they are not likely to become very gene
raj. In fact, it has been found, except
in the lower section of the peninsula, ,tha
there is no profit in the early varieties
hence The new trees purchased art
Troth's, Early Yorks, &c.
To raise the kind of fruit grown IL
this State seed are obtained from natura
trees in Virginia, North Carolina, ant

OUR GERMAN CiT1zESs. Il.
A Re.Union at the Opera House
Last Evening-Nlusfc
and Dancing.

% There never has been since the settle
ment of Wilmington, such = gathering Of
the German element as that which took
place last Dight, at Prof. Webster's dane,
ing academy in the Masonic Temple.
The occasion was of such a nature.
that 1t will ever remain in the memory
OF those present, and cause them to feol
that they were once more transported
back TO "Faderland, and had enjoyed
the pleasures OF one Of the balls for which
that country Is noted.
There has never been such large
gathering Of persons. especially at q re-
cepu0n, where such good order prevail
ed From the time that the first guest
entered the room until the last one de.
parted, there was not an unkind word
spoken. or the smallest act of discourtesy
committed by any person that would maj
the happiness Of any one. On the Other
hand, the most strenuous efforts were put
forth by not only the manag ers, but BY
every guest present, TO make his or heI
neighbor feel that they were at home
As an instance Of the orderly manner In
which the Germans conduct ball, II
may be mentioned just here that not ar
officer was engaged to MAINTAIN the peace
but each gentleman present acted as |
consarvator of the peace of the city.
The reception was given entirely bl
subscription. and was managed by th,
German Library, each member of which
were a blue badge upon which were tn.
letters. "V. ID. O., meaning worshipper
of the German classics.
The ball was the largest that hai
ever taken place in the room, there beinl
eighty-three couples on the promenade
and this number SO crowded the room
that It was almost impossible for tn
Grand March to take place. The marc
commenced at 8 o'clock promptly, an,
was LED by Harry Feldmier and wife
They were followed Immediately by tn
following officers; floor manager 9eorg
Fink, and daughter; first assistant, 4
T. Freye and wife; second assistant,
w. Hess, and wife; third assistant, HI. II
Taylor and wife. All of the above ladie
wore silk dresses handsomely trimmed
and carried bouquets which had bee
presented to them.
About 70 o'clock the dancers repaire
to the rooms below and partook Of
sumptuous repast prepared by Mr.. G
! Bnchele. At the conclusion Of the n
past dancing was again resumed, aud col
tinued until about 3 o'clock this morning
The officers certainly deserve the thank
of those present for their efforts in max
ing 1t SO pleasant for all.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY

Editor OF the Gdzette:
SIR:-Ihave read with great care and
interest, Senator Saulsbury's speech
which you so judicieusly placed before
the people in the recent columns of the
GAZETTE. IL is one Of those rare mental
productions which bear re-reading and
afte r close study pass into history as a
lamp to guide those who come after. 1t
Is couched in such calm, courteo US terms,
delivered with snch skillful diction and
refined rhetoric that it il especially
worthy Of the close study of young men
and model well worthy Of their imita-
ton. 1t Is one of those speeches which
places bridge between passion and rea :
son, strengthens the cause it advocates,
and commands alike the respect of friends
and opponents--a kind Of speech so ef-
fective in legislature bodies. The speech
is composed of good plain common sense
without any oratorical fiourishes or word
painting, full of sound logic and express
sive of careful reasoning. 80 =
The closing paragraphs should especial
ly receive the attention and commenda-
ton OF every citizen. They define SO
clearly the duty of representative to
his constituency. While not admitti ng
state of servility upon the part of the
representative they express absolute
obedience of the created representative
to the creative power Of the people, as
well ~ the ability of the people TO form
intelligent and healthy convictions.
Such true democratic sentiments from
representatives have been so rare during
| the last few years that they now appear
remarkable, but 1t is merely historical
/ repitition and result of the universal
| unwritten law of nations-the depend
ence of the governing power upon the
will Of the people,
In conclusion Senator Salisbury has
ably and truly represented the State of
Delaware and long may he live to enjoy
the confidence of the people as a result
of his fidelity. His unrivalled speech
will stand as o monument honoring the
family of which he is such a brilliant
ornament. Very respectfully yours,
| --.a-aa HowARD SIMPSON.

PHILApELPHIA, Feb 2U.-His Grace
Arch bishop Wood, of this diocese, is
much pleased at the result of the Con-

the new Pontiff, never having met
Cardinal Pecci in Rome, unless it may
have been mere casual meeting in a

by reputation. When HIS Grace was
in Rome the new Pope was Archbishop
of Perugia, and at that time and since
Archbishop Wood has heard the most
favorable accounts of the character OF
the newly elected Pontiff.
