PEACH GROWERS.

In answer to communication from q
Committee of the Delaware peach growers,
asking conference with the President Of
tne Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad in relation to rates of trans.
portation for this years peach crop, Mr..
Hinckley hasrecently replied that he though,
1t would be premature to fx rates for a
traffic which may lever exist. Neither his
company nor other companies would be
ready to do so before they know something
more as to what they will be called upon to
40. "Any time" continues the letter.
consumed In conferences before the ,lsuaa 4
time for fixing rates might be entirely
thrown away. If my memory ;serves me
We consumed much time in negotiations as
to peach traffic in 1858, when the whole
crop marketed by rail amounted to twenty
th zee car loads" In conclusion, however,
Mr.. Hisckley says he will meet the Com
mittee at their convenience. ID

A FAMILY FRACUS.

On Sunday evening Mrs. Sarah Dooley,
of s16 West Fourth street, made complaint
against James McCloskey for assault and
got out warrant for bis arrest. McC Closkey
was arrested the same evening and was
held IN bail for hearing. The case was
heard before acting Mayor O'Neh last even
ing, Lawyer Higgins appearing for the
defense. From the testimony # appears
that AcCloskey had that day met his
daughter who was stopping at Dooley's and
asked her to come and live with him. This
she at that time refused to do, and on Sun
day evening he went to Dooley's house and
asked her to come with him, and when she
refused to 60 right away, he cursed and
swore and finally broke the windows. Nc
Closkey said that an assault was made
upon him by James Dooley, and that he
broke the windows in defending himself.
Jhe testimony of several other witnesses
contradicted XcCloskey's statement, and he
was found guilty and fined IS and costs.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From our Special Correspondent
WARRINGTON. d. c.. March ID. 1878

From our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., March II, 1878.
We must give the House Democrats cred
It Tor one sensible act yesterday. They held
a caucus for the purpose of making the
Army bill, recently reported FROM the Mill
tary Committee, a party measure. It has
been painfully apparent all thro ugt the Sc
sion, taat If any of Speaker Ran dall's Com
ms.tees commenced the prepI ration of q
measure intended to reform al uses or pre-
vent extravaganza, there were Democratic
members In the House loud In their threats
to vote against such measure. Whenever
any suggestion bill or resolutie n, with sim
liar intent, has come before the House some
Democrats have ahsentsd tt emselves or
voted with the Republicans. It is now
plain that economy and reform are as nee
essary to the future success o the Demo-
cratic party as TO the prosperit y ofthe coun-
try, and the time has come for drawing part
ty lines. The result Of the ca ucus held yes.
tprdsy was the appointment ia Committee
Of thirteen to consult with the Military
Committee on course of act Jon.
Representative Cox on TUT sday followed
up what Representative BE wett had said
on the subject of Hayes civil service reform.
Mr.. Hewett's speech was th speech of the
session. 1t exposed clesrTy tho insincerity
on tho subject Of reform. of the man whose
chj' f hold upon the people has come from
mis- profession of esire for reform. He
showed how those professions were not only
not sustain by deeds, but were contradicted
by nearly every thing. done so far.
Tn the Senate Yesterday Mr.. Blaine as
sailed the Secretary of the Interior. Mr..
Blaines language had not the traditional
d,opity of the Senate, and what he said
could hardly be called argument, but he
gave us several pictures of our impractIca-
BILE Secretary which were recognized as
true to the life. Mr.. Bl sfne can no more
comprehend a principal than he can fy'
but he groups together facts in striking
manner is exceedingly ready with his ideas,
and has at his command an anequelled sup !
ply of put illustrations, and out of these
accomplishment he manages to make him
a If the most attractive speaker in the Sen
ate. Mr.. Schurz will not soon forget the
Maine Senator's speech of yesterday.
