THE XEURO* REPUBLIC, • Sum* Plain and Startling Statements About Affaire la Liberia. [From the Cincinnati Commercial.] Mr. George R. Stetson of Boston, has writ ten some queer chapter’s about the Repub lic of Liberia, on the West coast of Africa. It was founded by philanthropists in the United States, some fifty years ago. It was to be a speck of paradise for freed slaves from America. Good people were to send them there, set them up in a republic on their own hook, and then put the whole Dark Continent into a ferment of Christian . civilization. In the period of their enthusiasm, the American Colonization Society spent mil lions ot money on the freedmen's paradise. As far back as 18r9 they had sent 10,000 American negroes there at an expense of $lB3 per head. About half of them went to a paradise by a shorter route than even the Colonization Society dreamed of. They died. In beating the American bush foremi grants to Liberia, tunefnl agents harped much on the extroardinary richness of African soil. It had only to be tickled with a wooden hoe to smile back a luxuriant har vest. Fruits, grain, and vegetables, all that made glad the Unman stomadh, grew in unlimited profusion. one side of the story. The silver tongued agent told that side.' The other part was that every, foreigner who touches the coast of Liberia, though he remain no longer than a week, is stricken down with a horrible miasmatic sickness called the “acclimating fever.” The blistering sun, alternating with heavy rains, and the rank vegetation from that very soil whoso richness the agents exalted, arc the cause of the terrible malaria.. Ague gets the better of civilization. It kills every white - man who remains there a few years. The savage African aborigines do not ap pear to. suffer from the malaria. Like the Florida Indians, who are proof against mos quito bites, they appear to- be soaked so full ol poison that it does not hurt them. But the American-born negro suf fers nearly as much as the white man. The mortality of the fever may be judged from some facts given by .Mr. Stetson. On one' .occasidn a coasting vessel made a trip to the delta of the Niger. She had a crew of fif ty-five persons. Of thdse, these-twenty five died. Another vessel was sent to the same pAace with a crew of twenty, men. Ten of them died within four wepks. It will--be remembered that a passion for emigration to Liberia suddenly seized the colored people of Georgia and the Carolines three years ago. They sailed thither by hundreds. One ship, the Azor, took 250 emigrants from Charleston at one load. It was flue fun-the smarting. All shared the devout belief that they were going direct to the promised land.’ But all their hopes turned to the bitterest disappointment. The disgusted pilgrims died off like sheep in a Colorado blizzard. In many cases of negroes yuigrating to Liberia,from Ameri ca whole families died, not one being left •live. One family of ten persons from Georgia sailed in the Azor. Three died on shipboard and two at Monrovia. The other five begged money and fled back to Geor gia before the acclimating fever took them, too. Many others of the oolonists who sailed within a few years to Africa are send ing for money to bring them home. Libe ria. the country of fertile soil and beautiful iandsc ipe, is so sickly that the very horses and mules die that are taken, there., " Concerning other aspects of life in the model negro Republic, educational, indus trial, social, and political-the testimony is Bo less emphatio. The term “lazy African” is probably only understood in its truest sense in. Africa. Under the scorching snn the laziness strikes in. The climate affects even the industrious freedman from Amer ica. In time he, too, gives up the struggle and ceases to work. He turns to politics as an easier way of Setting a living. ■ He seeks “them ’ere of eea” with enthusiasm. Thus he, at least, shows his capacity for the highest civiliza ‘ tion. Liberian elections are quite as loud and lively and as frequent as in the great "moddle” RepuMio of the United States, which the little African one was patterned after: .Liberian exports have been steadily de clining for a number of years. A bare sub sistence is not hard to obtain among the naked aborigines What is the good of working when one is not obliged to do it ? • It is Dot agreeable.to record the faot that slavery exists throughput the negro Repub l lie. Its horrors dqwn. South never sur passed the like horrors among these Liberi ans. whose slaves are of their own-oolor and kindred. In other respects the Africans who rule Liberia have shown their ability to acquire a high civilization—the very highest in deed. They have got a bonded debt. *lt is so large a one that there Is no prospect whatever they will ever pay it. Moreover, it is all owned in London, every penny. Putting the two facta together, and con necting them by a link of reasoning with a well-known peculiarity of the noble British, nature, it is not hard to make a propheoy concerning the future of this, the one black Republic on the face of the earthy Some very singular - facts de veloped in the history of Libe’ria. nobody was more enthusiaatio in the cause of Afri can colonization from this country than the ■churches and the religious community. Millenaries went there .by the hundred, iabored among the black savages, and died martyrs to their Christian devotion. Who does not remember for years -“Afrits’s sun ny fountains” a& the objective points of missionary work in America? , What has come of all this work, of the sacrifice of all these unselfish lives ? Chris tians everywhere expected the Christiani zation ot all Africa as confidently as the Second Adventists looked for the end of the world. The happy result never follow ed. One of the wild negro tribes that joined the Liberian Government was Mohamme dan in religion. There are forty wild ne gro tribes in the whole country. Inatead ot these naked heathens coming under the gentle influence of the Bible, the one Mo hammedan tribe among them is converting them to the faith of the Turk with amazing rapidity. There is actually a prospect that at no distant day a majority of the inhab itant* of Liberia' will be followers of the crescent and the Koran. Such is slated to be the present condi tion of Liberia. Instead of civilizing the native negroes, there really seems rather to be danger that the civilized negroes who went there will relapse into barbarism. They are the merest handful among so many. They suffer horribly from the cli mate. and are growing poorer and poorer. Meantime an insidious British influence grows stronger and stronger. English men-of-war cruise along their coast and. fie at anchor in their ports. English goods go into their country in larger and larger quan tities every year, and they are inveigled more and more into debt to Great Britain. The certain end does not seem many vears off. Under the circumstances, Mr. Stetson, of .Boston, considers it high time somebody publicly and emphatically gave the nu ler'ns Atnericrn negroes who think of mi grating to Liberia the advice Pancfi gave those about to marry—Don’t.

Active Scenes at Cnatla Garden—The Ar- Qrivml* This Y*nr Likely to Snrpaaa All Prrvtona Years—From What Cannedea the Immigrants Came, and Where They Oo Upon Their Arrival Here A Talk With Inperintrndent Jackson [.Vete York Tribune.] Oqe of the most interesting piaoes in the city to visit jn*t now Garden on a day when the immigrants are landing. The varied costume*, the oonfaaion ot tongues, the strange types of humanity, representing nearly every nation, and ai) gathered in one straggling mass, form a scene not to be wit nessed in any other part a( the world. The officials at the Garden find great difficulty in attending to the wants of the great and increasing number of immigrants and their facilitie* are overtaxed, bat by working at night and using extra exertion* they are en abled to care for all that come. The efforts now being made to secure the passage of a 1 bill through the Legislature to increase the means at the disposal of the Commissioners will, they think, meet with success. The proposed measure provides for a tax of $1 on each immigrant, the amount to be col lected from the steamship companies. This money is to be used for the inspection and care of the immigrants, and will enable the Board to do much more for them than is possible nnder the limited appropriation now at its disposal. The better the care which the immigrants get on this side, the greater the number that comes, as past ex perience shows. The knowledge that they will be afforded protection and assisted in securing work has induced many persons to emigrate to this country. The renewed prosperity of the Nation, however, and the hardships of mili tary service in Europe, are regarded as the principal causes for the increasing tide of emigration which is now setting toward these shores. In 1877 the number of immi grants who came to this country was less than 150,000. Last year the number reached 457,257. Of these 327,371 were landed Afthe port of New York. Judging from the arrivals at Castle Garden so far this year, Superintendent Jackson estimates that the arrivals at this port this year may reach 500,000. The arrivals at this port for the first four months of last year, and corres ponding period of this year, with the coun tries from which the immigrants come, as shown by returns madeto the United States Treasury Departments, were as follows : 4 months 4 months Nationalities. ending ending May 1, May 1, England 11,224 10,574 Scotland 2,667 2,310 Ireland 17,639 11,006 Germany 23,113 Austria 2,148 2,763 8 sveden 9,982 A ,850 Norway!. 1,976 1,680 Denmark .

The rate of lu arcane for New York, however, ac cording to estimates of the Commissioners of Emigration, will probably be greater, as owing to the’backwardness of the season this year and the late dates at which the Scandinavian ports were opened, the tide was kept back. In the first ten days of the present month 27,393 immigrants arrived at Castle Garden, and it. is estimated that 70,000 will arrive this month, against 45,-. 578 for the same fime last year. On Mon day of this week 6,521 immigrants arrived, the largest number on any day yet this year. Yesterday the cumber of arrivals was 3,203. f The greater part of the Immigrants ar riving consists of men under forty -years of age, who would be RUbject to military duty if they remained in Europe. 01 the 109,- 123 Immigrants who arrived,in the first 'four months of thin year, 72,773 were men and 36,350 women. In the same time last year rho men numbered 54,985 and the wo men 27,661, the proportion being the same eaoh vear. Wire re the Immigrant* Come rom. The number of iimmigrants arriving at this port last year-337,000 - was greater than in any previous ypar. In 1854, 319,- 223 immigrants arrived—ths largest plum ber in any year previous jto 1680.

In 1874 a considerable emigra tion began from Bohemia and Hungary, whiub has been steadily increasing. The emigration from Russia also increased rapidly, but owing to the impediments now thrown in iketr way by the Russian Gov ernment very few immigrants are arriving now ffoin that country. A family la ppt al lowed to emigrate from Russia until the various members' of it subject to military duty hare serwed their terms in the service. The German Government also discourages immigration, and until within a short time no public address was allowed to be de livered in Germany on the subject of im migration to the United States Bismarck established a bureau -from which he dis seminated throughout Germany accounts of the saff -ri&gs aud. privations of immi grants in this country, bqt with all his ef forts he cannot overcome the efforts of the steamship agents and the encouraging Jotters sent from this country by immigrants to their frjends in Germany. Taxes have greatly inere*tw.j in Germany since'the Fran co- Prussian *, nd the cost. Of living has also increased, tum induced many to emigrate. The German immigrants nearly -U bring considerable money with thorn, estimated on au average from five hundred to tw.O thousand dollars each.

At this rate the United Stoics will have Over sit hundred million (lolittrs add ed to its wealth this year by means of emi gration. The poorest class of immigrants come from Austria Che Sclavonians. Many of them arrive here ufiteriy destitute. - Some of them in Castio Garden the ouiey day were with entire suits of sheepskin, the woolly eujj! being turned inward. Qthers had trousers and jackets of dressed leather. The men were dark, tall and angu lar, and the men, wonjej? phildren all wore boots, which, with their whi*# cloth ing and the short frocks of the women, made the group a very noticeable one. A gycat many of the Italians come here without tneiy’families, sending for them later. When the Usi&n wife arrives, her husband generally meet* hey with an Ameri can bat and a calico drees anl Ahawi, which she immediately puts on, and they then go walking np (Latitf* ts as if “to the manor born." Superintendent Jaekaan a y Perhaps no person in this oountry has had so wifie an experience with immigrants as Superintended Jackson, of Castle Gar den. A Tribune reporter asked him yester day in what direction the were mostly going. . “lh.ey ecliar, themselves,” he said, “pfetty widely oyar the West and South west. ’There-is a growing demand for their services in the South, and South Georgia and Kentucky are - molting special efforts to induce immigrants td settle there.

AJJGUSTA, GA., WEDESDAY„ MAY 25.'1881.. “Yes, a good mahy. It jg difficult to get any correct figures. One man recently had , 5d,000 francs in his possession. The Swedes and Germans nearly all bring con siderable money. Immigrants with have an idea that thqre is some tax to be* imposed, hence they generally understate what they have, while those without any money fear being sent back as paupers, ana claim what they have not got.” A dispatch from London, received, a few days ago, stated that contracts had been dos- - ed with a steamship company to bring about 80.000 Scandinavian immigrant* to the United States. The report could not be con firmed in this city yesterday. % lt was stated, however, that the great* increase of immi gration this year had taxed the steamships beyond their capacity, and that many per sons who wanted immediate transportation coaid not be accommpdated. In view of this state of affaire., the agents have been in structed to sell tickets .for steamers which will not sail for a month or more, and thousands of tickets have thup been sold; hence, instead of there being a lnUr in im migration after May closes, it will probably continue du(ing the'Summer. Of those who have thus eDgaged passage a large percent age is Scandinavian, who not ODly wish to better their condition on the unoccupied lands of the West, but who are also learving Norway and Sweden in anticipation of church troubles. . THE JUBILEE OF KINO COTTON. ‘ Merry May Festival—Railroad ToplceA The PcoplaS* Star Chamber Commis sion. [ Correspondence Chronicle ami QonstitutiortUpiL.]. Atlanta, May 11, 1881.—Our city papers display a neat cut of the Cotton Exposition buildings and grounds, as it is proposed to have them, and give something of reality to the grand symposium that is to make At lanta a conspicuous figure in the public eye* for many months to come. Expectation is raising itself on tip-toe. The Constitution, ever prompt to seize a strategical point, was the moving spirit of the enterprise, spe cially in the selection of this city as the scene of its fulfillment, and has achieved a signal victory in journalism in thus work ing up a festival of industry that is to at tract so much attention to the Empire State. All honor to its splendid strategy and per sistent energy. The city owes a debt of gratitude for much of its marvelous growth to this live paper, which will be repaid with a reflex tide of prosperity destined to make it one of the very toremoSt journals of the New South. May picnics are the order of the day. Juvenile festivals are agitating all circles. Badges and banners flaunt and flutter in our faces at every street corner, with proces sions of happy faces going and returning. Similar scenes are being enaefed in all this sunny land, while countless hearts are beating with merry thoughts, bright dreams and lively hopes —a blessed and re cuperating relief from “the evils that flesh is heir to” in our sublunary experiences. For the nonce all trouble is put aside, busi ness suspends its dull tread-mill routine, speculation in the booms of the hour halts in the Exchange and on the curbstone—all doffing their hats in honor of the Queen of j the Calendar, the merry month of May. This festive interlude of the drama, how ever, will soon close, the serious problems anil schemes of life be resum n d, most of the actors at the quiet game of plodding lcfbor, but many in the startling scenes of cornered stocks and in the bedlum of the Exchange, where the battle of fortune rages wjth a desperation that wins or loses in a day. The staid and sober South begins to furnish more of the latter class -a natural sequence of the force of circumstances produced by the necessity of holding our great corporate interests with a grip of steel in view of the machination of designing men, who would lay our section under tribute to more North ern markets and Seaports. It is well that there are men of brain, pluck, energy and resources with ns equal to the occasion in such a crisis. The stakes were high, the players bold, resolute and of unyielding nerve, and the magnitude of the victory, lately achieved by the leading railroad men' of Georgia is not yet fully comprehended by th 6 masses of the people, nor even by many reflecting minds. It is essential to take a whole view of the field from a central point of observation and inquiry in form ing an intelligent estimate of the recent movements and combinations that have ter minated in this new, and-, to the public generally, stunning change in the phases of the sjtuatio'n. To effect it, resort was had to the strategy of the enemy who found in Wadley and iiis 00-adjutors apt scholars in the modern school ot financial tactics. This brilliant battle of the giants, and its results, will fbdound to the advantage of our State in awakening renewed attention to ,our resources, and the probabilities of our future progress, from capitalists, who hitherto, in the tergiversations of politics, have withheld confidence, and shaken their heads in doubt and distrust. ' It is a practi cal demonstration of will and power more eloquent and convincing than all the ora tory wo have inundated the country with for half 9 century. Another" happy effeot’is to join together, in one common cause, strong, trained and practical minds lately and long at war with <;ai-.h other to the em bittering of the relations between their- re spective We may reasonably, anticipate a pleasant change in their con current action and sympathies, that prom ises better results in eJery point of view and a more cordial union of -ali sections of the State. Iu the meantime, a vexed question still disturbs the public pulse, tonohing the unusual powers conferred' upon the Com mission which alarmists in legislation, with mistaken' judgment and zeal, appointed to virtually dictate the management of vast and complicated interests, thus binding, to a degree, the hands of men trained in this school of enterprise, and menacing a prop erty upon which thousands directly subsist, and all are more or less dependent. This sfYcics of star-chamber, nominally in the interest of the people, has the power, if it choses, as the retroa'ctlve law now stands, to cripple, if not destroy,*’ a magnificent property accumulated after years of trials and disasters, after a strict compliance with the terms of their chartered franchises, and in full confidence of the public faith. The honored gentlemen composing this Commission cannot, by their vir tues, alter its character in being at variance with free institutions. Advocates are. found for even a general seizure by the National Government of all the great corporate investments in the land under the specious plea of crushing out monopoly without, apparently, reflecting upon the direct tendency of such summary measures towards the subversion of all re publican government and private rights. They insist, in getting rid .of a few so-called monopolies, upon installing a grand political monopoly that.would inevitably fasten its mailed‘hand eventually upon the throats of the people themselves who propose to in vest it with such undemocratic powers. Better, far batter, endure a few fancied monopolies than risk the chances of such a consummation! But repeal the despotic features of these commissions—give capital a free rein -and the evils conceived by the distempered fancy will disappear. Com petition, so much desired by the people, bnt now discouraged by the natural timid ity of capital to incur the dangers of un limited and uncertain interference, will be renewed and prevent the possibility of realizing any of those vain alarms as to monopoly. Such fears will then soon give way to, sounder views upon the rights of property, the public faith and the dangers to popular liberty in enlarging so incon siderably the powers of government. The extraordinary crops of the past two years have enabled the railroads to rise superior, temporarily, to the exigencies of this anomalous institution, under the sanc tion of Democratic law; but this is no argu ment in its favor as a factor in this result and its unjust and dangerous tendencies; for its friends who stand by it in its present shape claim that it has proven a positive benefit to the roads. Certainly it was not created for that purpose, and according to their views it has then-failed to subserve the in terests spepially and carry out the wishes of its framers—an amusing conclusion by an inductive process through singular incon sistencies that might seem to imply doubts as to the success of the law itself in effecting the object of its creation. The truth is, •nothing but the abnormal and enormous volume of business offering has prevented serious annoyance to the public interests from this unrepublican commission, as now constituted, for the common weal is closely allied with, and dependent upon, the pros ’■perity and efficiency of these great high ways to the outside world. The large space which these subjects'now 'occupy in the public eye is my apology for ..referring to them at a length not antici pated when I took up my. pbn, and I will reserve other matters of interest more im mediately connected with the State capital for a male - ieite*.

The pulpit loses some of its’best men bet fe?re they get much beyond the line of mid dle age—sometimes before they reach it.

When I saw Dr. Washburn, some thing over* year ago, he looked like a man who might easily have gone through twenty years of church work. Mr. Frothingham, the apostle of “Free Religion, who did not want any oneto call him “Reverend,' 1 gave up preaching wholly on account of his health. Had he kept at it he might now be on the list of the’ departed. Some per sons smile when thev hear that a minister is feeling poorly. They don’t believe that ah Urea, ycjk is very hard, and they can’t or won't understand why preachers get sick and have to retire or take long vaurnaies.

They intensely hate the invaders, but generally keep in doors. As I lett Lima I saw a frightful,, horrible scene. On the battle field of Miraflores there were many dead—s,ooo Chilians and 3,500 Peruvians. The wanquished had fled; the victors were too intend on plunder and rapine to turn grave diggers. The corpses were swollen into enormous proportions under the tropi cal sun, and emitted the foulest’ odors. Something had to be flone, so the Chilians hired a lot of Chinamen to burn the bodjes., The heathen would punch holes in eaoh dead body, pour in coal oil. and then apply fire. As I passed •by the battle field at night, a blue flame issued out •of each corpse, giving a still ghastlier hue to the swollen and. distorted faces of the dekd.

Tbe Great Syndicate—Yew Road* to Be Built—An Immense System. \Special Dispatch fo the Constitution.] New Yobk, May 16.—1 t was my duty to telegraph to Georgia about two years ago the first news of the coup d’etat by which Col. Ei W. Cole, the railroad king of the South was dispossessed of his system. I to-night wire the first details of a much vaster and more comprehensive trade by which the “king comes into his own again." You will receive by the press the follow ing intelligence that Col. Cole has, through a syndicate, purchased the the East Tennes see and Virginia system, embracing the Selma, Rome and Dalton Roads and the Macon and Brunswick. The de tails of .the trade have just been closed, although the contract was closed on Satur day al 3 o'clock. The syndicate that backs Col. Cole is composed of strong men, and men who have the highest confidence in his ability and in the vast system he proposes. Mr. George I. Seney, the philanthropist so well known in Georgia, is one of the leaders of the syndicate, and expresses much inter est in Georgia and satisfaction that ho is now identified with her development. Colonel Cole 6ays to-night : “You may promise your people the road between At lanta and Maeon will be running by the first of January. I will have a road from Atlanta to Rome direct running by the first of March. I could run the road from Rome to Macon through Atlanta running by January, except that there is a little heavy work between Rome and Atlanta, and will show your people, however, the fastest rail road building all the way from Rome to Macon that they have seen in some time.” Colonel Cole leaves New York for Atlan ta to-morrow night, and upon his arrival will at once put the entire line under con tract, and will have a number of forces of hands at work as soon as the bids can be re ceived. He says he must have the trains running in January next and will do so. This will virtually give Atlanta two new lines, one to Macon and one to Rome. An immense depot for the lines, and shops for the hands will be built as soon Colonel Cole can reach Atlanta and determine on the site. Colonel Cole is now in actual possession of the entire system of roads embraced in the purchase, the transfer having been made on Saturday evening. A contract was closed to-day for eleven thousand tons of steel rails, to be delivered at Brunswick, commencing on November Ist. It is understood that Mr. Wilson, who re tains an interest in the syndicate, but none in the management of the road, will go to Europe for his health. Colonel McGhee will, probably, remain with the system. It may not be out of place to remark that the Georgia Western is just as certain to come as these roads are. H. W. G.
