Peach Notes.

Peaches passed safely through the
Old Mixons without glut, but caught
it on Saturday and Monday in a glut
in Crawford's Late, which are very
fine this year, and thus realizing the
the least where they expected the most.
The net realization for some of this
fruit was not more than 10 to Is cents
where from so cents to 81 was expected.
Some of this resulted in some cases
from sending too much to one place,
over stocking the market The ship
pers would not register nor let the Dis
trlbutOr know where they had shipped
to, and thus by doubling the quantity
on such cities as Springfield, Provi-
dence, Newark &c, there was a glut,
the loss falling on all alike, but espe-
cially the farmers.
The quantity Of peaches going from
Clayton the past week has been from s
to II cars day, the largest being on
Saturday, Is cars. The shipments
after tais week will fall off rapidly
The shipments over the road have been
for several days over 200, cars, but
Monday dropped down to 100 cars for.
warded to forty different places. The
largest was on Saturday, $50 cars.

publication of its kind. The leading
article is by Julian Hawthorne, who
describes with his usual felicity the
quality he calls Atmosphere" in the

George Kennan has contributed to
the September Century an article on
" Exile by Administrative Process in
which he gives great number of in
stances of the banishment of persons to
Siberia, without the observance of any
of the legal formalities that in most
countries precede or attend a depriva-
tion Of rights. Mr.. Kennan will also
discuss, in an Open Letter in this num-
Der of the Ctntury, the question, "Is
the Siberian Exile System to be at
Once Abolished ?" stating his reasons
for believing the plan of reform now
being discussed in Russia and which is
said by the London Spectator to involve
the entire abolition of exile to Siberia
as a method ofpunishment, will not be
put into operation.

JOHN f. ON THE TICKET.

According to our unVarying custom
we place at the head of our columns
the county ticket nominated on Thurs
day last. Although not representing
the Democratic party as a whole, but
faction of the party yet being nomi-
mated by a factional part of that party
and being a factional ticket with one
exception land that minor position),
we nevertheless follow the custom
which we have invariably pursued
since the foundation of the Deldwarean.
We have nothing to say of the meth
ods used to secure such a ticket, ex-
cept that the power used by the con-
vention was never before exercised by
the Democratic party or attempted by
any part of it in the political history of
the State. The rights Of the minority
and a large one at that, were trampled
under foot, and it was hurled in the
teeth of that minority that we have
the power and intend to use it, for we
are the Democratic party.n We leave
the further consideration Of the matter
for the people, as every voter in the
county is SO well acquainted with ths
why's and wherelores Of the conven.
tion's deliberations and action, as mol
