The number of Immigrants which
arrived at the port of New York up
to the close of August, 1870, was 01,-
054. The arrivals for the whole of
1872 ware 298,074; for 1878, 207,354, and
fur 1874,137,357. In May, 1872, alone
50,054 immigrants landed at Castle
Garden, or nearly as many as fur the
first eight months of this year.
The New York Herald says one re
sult. of this iron-bound policy has
been that the Republican party has
to-day substantially no existence in
most of the Southern States. In 1808-
tt it ruled in every Southern State,
and it oouuted among it members a
number or eminent Southern whites.
To-day it can count only on South
Carolina and Mississippi, and not cer
tainly on those.
The New Y’ork Tribune, In an art-1-
ele on ‘‘The Southern Stage,” men
tions every house and theatre of note
in the South,except tliut of Columbus.
Wo beg to cull the attention of the
Tribune to the opera house in this
city, which is superior in size to De
Give’s at Atlanta, and equal In every
thing except size to any opera house

a staid, respectable city, with little
pretention, but blest with as many
musical amateurs, population consid
ered, and us critical musical taste as
ran be found in the State.

Gen. William Trenton's speech at
Eminence, Kentucky, is the best
that we have read concerning the
currency question, He takes middle
ground while holding to hard money
us the true and only currency, his
belief is that the first issue of paper
money was only justified, if at all.
by the exigency of the times; that
resumption should have boon under
taken immediately after the war, but
that the depressed condition of the
country will not permit of the pres
ent oourse. He advises the repeal of
the act of January last, and thus a
restoration of things as they were;
and that the Government shall also
repeat all invidious discriminations
against its own currenojr, making it
receivable at its Custom Houses for
imports and exports.
The following from the Now York
Tribune fully explains the views of
the Supremo Court concerning the
forced oommingliug of white and
black pupils in public schools. The
question Is finally settled according
to the laws of nature and of sound
reason:
“The Interesting ease in which a
colored clergyman of Brooklyn
sought the intervention of the courts
to compel the admtsston of his son to
a public school set apart for the in
struction of white pupils exclusively,
was decided yesterday by Supreme
Justice Gilbert. The decision sus
tained the claim of the Board of
Education, that they have ttie right
under the statutes to prescribe upon
what terms and conditions the bene
fits of the free school system shall tie
enjoyed within their jurisdiction. It
was held further that the regulation
under consideration was not in con
flict cither with the acts of the Legis
lature or with the Civil Rights not,
tieeause It does not appear that
colored pupils are thereby deprived
of any advantages, facilities, orprivi
l|gs, extended to arfotber cites.
This decision is amply sustained by
preoedent.”
Senator Thurman is confident of n

We protest oguirist the plagued

says that “beggnrs In Amsterdam are
as thick as Colonels .in America.”
One of the greatest charms of the
Republic, as flrst founded, was the
abolition of all tltlos. This decree,
prohibiting the retention of hered
itary titles, gave rise to a plugue as
bad as any social plugue can be.
The curious anomaly of a society
where middlo-oged men uro called
familiarly by their given names, and
beardless boys, or successful green
grocers, are styled "Colonel,” is daily
seen in our civilization. The good
old title, “Mister,” seems fust dying
out of usage; and a group of live
gentlemen hear themselves desig
nated as Colonel, Major, Captain,
Henry or Charley—-but rarely, very
rarely, is the title "Mister” used by
young men addressing each other.
Our men of cosmopolitan fame, like
Maury or Morse, have to receive
their decorations and orders of merit
from foreign potentates. None but
the Frenchman knows what a talis
man, what an incentive to noble
deeds, was the Cross of the Legion of
Honor. In our American “progress”
we Ignore the great discoverer—the
benefactor of the world’s commerce;
we are too republican to allow any
medal Indicative of a nation’s grat
itude; yet a store clerk is called
“Colonel”I In our society it would
be a rudeness to ask, “What army did
you belong to ?” for these “Colonels,”
the chances ure, never held a com
mission arid never saw a battle. The
legitimate result of this wholesale
grant of field officers’ commissions
to beardless youths, middle-uged
merchants, or successful business
men, is that (lie negroes have caught
the infection. "Boys,” “girls,”
“men,” and “women,” have ceased
to exist. An advertisement, calling
for a cook and dining-room servant,
Is answered by a colored “Uuhj,”
desirous of hiring herself as a cook;
or a colored “gentleman," who is
anxious to become a dining-room
servant. It is now In order to adver
tise as follows:
Wanted. A colored lady will please
apply for the ptaee of eooli at the house
of Colonel Snodgrass, who keeps the pop
ular Howling Alley.
Really, it is rare to find any old
gentleman, who lias beeh successful
in any pursuit, upon whom has not
been inflicted the title of "Colonel”
or “Judge.” The word “Colonel” is
a decided nuisance.

Judge Hersohel V. Johnson Is Un

The Farce of JrsTicE.—Jay Gould
Is not imprisoned, yet lie confessed
by his act of “restitution" that lie
liad several millions of dollars that
did not belong to him. Mr. Tweed is
only nominally under duress, yet,
everybody knows tliut lie took six
millions of the people’s money—
enough to build a rapid transit rail
road.- A r . F. Herald.
The day is coming when the evils
of mnlfeasance and maladministra
tion will effect their own cure. Pre
judiced or corrupt judges will be
turned out, and law ascend from its
present low estate of pettifogging
practice.
Is it Carelessness? If so it is
Gross Carelessness. The Columbus
Enquirer writes a strong article
against State aid for private enter
prises. It thinks the old law of sup,,
ply and demand should regulate the
building of railroads. When the peo
ple of a section are able to pay for u
railroad let it. be built, and not before.
The granting of State aid Is a burden
some taxation of tlie people for some
tiling for which they would not pay
voluntarily, and is an injustice to
private enterprise in building other
roads'— Atlanta Herald.
The editorial referred to above was
written for and published in the Co
lumbus Times. Ttie Atlanta Herald,
however, has become habituated to
crediting the Enquirer with articles
copied from the Times.
It is now known that tho Demo
crate gained largely in the Republi
can State of Maine. The New Y'ork
Tribune contains the following:
Later returns are more discouraging
to Republicans than they had hoped
At, first it was thought that, Demo
cratic gains would be heavy only in
small towns; but later returns show
that the demoralization has extended
far into the interior, and that the
percentage of decrease in tho Repub
lican majority is growing larger as
! tho returns come in.
A New Y'ork exchange says: “The
throe needful permit*—State, county
and town—for one exhibition, cost
more in North Carolina than in all
the cities north of Richmond put
together.”
We hope Georgia will not be cursed
with legislators so narrow-minded ns
to repeat this uncivilized iiolioy.

WAAT EFFECT THE PENNSYLVANIA DEC
LARATION FOR INFLATION WILL HAVE I
upon its warms.
The New Y'ork Tribune collates
(ruin vurlous sources the opinions
of tho press concerning the Penn
sylvania election. We give the re
sults below; ;
Tho platform of the Pennsylvania
Democracy has a true ring, and is
good enough for the National Con
vention next. tiny .—lndianapolis]
Sentinel (Hem.)
Tho capture of so important a State
Convention by the Rag-money crowd
lias undoubtedly made ft much more
difficult to preserve the Democratic
National Convention from a like fate
next year. But It inis also made it |
much more probable that we shall j
see a break-up of parties and anew
deal. — S/irlngfleli) HepublUmu (hul.) j
It must bo clear now to everybody,
as heretofore to the more competent •
observers, that if the Democracy win
In this State, the Democratic party
will be carried headlong and hy
wholesale for tho inflation scheme,
the Hurd-tnonoy Democracy of the
Eastern States holding out at most
for a feeble phrase in the platform,
over which iliey may equivocate.—
Cincinnati Commercial (lad.)
If the Democrats carry Ohio and
Pennsylvania and it is evident that
these two States are mutually helping
each other—two tilings may be ac
cepted as settled; first, that the West
will control ttie Presidential election;
and second, tliut anti-resumption and
the abolition of the National Bank
svstpm will be the leading plank in
the National Democratic platform. I
St. lends Jle/utblicnn (Ind.)
Willi Pennsylvania added to Ohio
and Indiana, we can ufford, if neces
sary, to allow New Y'ork to remain,
wedded to her golden calf. Wo can
succeed in electing the next President
over t he geld gam biers of YY'all street,
ttie thieves of Tammany Hall, anil
the Canal Ring. Ohio has pojnted
the way. Pennsylvania, with her gi
gantic strength, is following in the
wake, unit the whole South is bring
ing up the rear. Wall street and
Tuiumany Hull combined cuu’t run
tlie manufacturers of Pennsylvania,
tho farmers of the West, and the
planters of the South. - Cincinnati
Enquirer (Inflation Deal.)
The growth of Uilh repudiation or
bottomless debt-money sentiment
since 1858 has lieen steady arid vigor
ous, ns all political events and ap
pearances iniw combine to show.
That it will “sweep the country” in
the approaching Presidential contest
is not among the most Improbable
events of the future. If Mr. Grant
should uguiri be placed on the Presi
dential course, there is hardly a rea
sonable ground for doubt that the
party of repudiation would prevail.
Add to the bottomless debt-money
delusion the extensive political and
personal dislike of tho Long Brunch
junketer,and it is a safe prophecy that
the repudiationist “ Democracy”
would carry everything before it..
Chirnqn Times I hut.)
The currency issue runs right
through the middle of both parties.
Some believe that the tendency now
is for the inflationist Republicans to
come over to the side of honest
money mid make the tight on that
question. We are glad to see any
body coming over from falsehood fo
truth, but it does not look like a
hopeless task to unite either party
on tliis issue. It is more probable
that the National conventions will
botli treat the question as gingerly us
possible, and strive to rally their
armies on the old war cries, but at
present the Republicans have a de
cided advantages us the champions
of honest money. Huston llernld
(Ind.)
All depends on Ohio. If that State
goes Democratic in October it will lie
next to impossible for the Republi
cans to carry Pennsylvania in No
vember; and If Democracy and infla
tion should sweep both these great
central States of the Union, the out
look for honest lliianee is dark in
deed. But should the inflation De
mocracy receive a decided check at
the Ohio election, their fate in Penn
sylvania is sealed. The action of the
Pennsylvania Democracy, therefore,
will iucrciiso the already intense in
terest which is felt in ttie Ohio elec
tion. —Detroit Tribune tlirp.)
Money is no doubt a question of
great dignity and moment: but a free
government rises to a higher pitch of
merit. It therefore behooves ail the
people who have recoiled in disgust
from Grunt and Giantism to unite in
support of Democratic principles,
whatever views they may entertain
on the financial question. First let
us make sure that wo have a country
worth being concerned about; anil
tlien wo may concern ourselves as to
what kind of currency its people may
circulate. Petersburg ( l'n. ) Inile.r ,[•

Thu free jetty work by tho Captain
Eads, as it is sometimes too frequent
ly called by the press, will cost a good
iTnlnd sum to the public. Not until
lie has increased the depth to twenty
feet by the action of the increased
current of the pent-up river, does he
receive anything from the Govern
ment. Then the first installment of
$500,000 will be paid to him; and an
other $5500.000 will be bunded over for
an additional two feet of depth, and
so on for each two feet until the
channel is deepened to full thirty
feet. Still another sum is to be paid
a year after the completion of the
j work, if the depth continues to be
! maintained. The whole amount ap
propriated by Congress for the con
struction of these jetties is $5,250,txx).
But this is not ail. Government has
also contracted to allow Captain Ends
$1,000,000 a year for a term of twenty
years for keeping his work in order.
This bargain nils been freely de
nounced as a job. It certainly calls
for very liberal payments of money.
A million for each one of twenty
years, after its completion, seems
| enormous. Should the jetty sys; sm
| operate according to the contractor's
expectation, tlie velocity of the cur
rent will clear out all the mud, uud
he will be put to no further expense
than to keep the piles end the mat
tresses in their places. That part of
the contract seems singularly favora
ble to Captain Eads. A closer regard
for economy would have induced tho
Government to look after the jetties
when completed ami approved, at its
own expense. But. whatever objec
tion is made to the stupendous cost
of the improvement, and the job that
possibly lurks within it, there can be
no two opinions upon the desirability
of scouring out the foul mouth of the
Mississippi.— Memphis Aralanehe.

j Section 30, concerning tho allegi

“Majali” Edwards nnd “Majah”
Foster are distinguished “jiinnclists”
iof Hi. Louis. ''Majah’' Edwards
sheds Ids phosphorus in the columns
of the Times, while “Majah” Foster
eats catfish and exudes intellect in
behalf of the Erening Journal. These
two estimable gentlemen are gifted
in tlie matter of “onah.” They lock
ed horns in the discussion of tlie pro
priety of Jeff Davis' invitation to ad
dress tlie Winnebago Agricultural
Association, and their rcsjiective
“oualis’’ were so abraded in the dis
cussion of the matter that nothing
but blood, and bloody blood at that,
could repair the damage. So they
went out uud “tit a dool” with “pis
tuals” loaded with act ual powder ami
real lead. It was u “game” affair.
Both men were game—that is, if you
call u Imre or a sheep game. When
the fatal word was given “Majali”
Foster closed his eyes, commended
his soul to God, and nulled the trig
ger. The bullet killed a cow in a
neighboring field. “Majah” Edwards
shut Ids eyes, mentally, ejaculated
“Goodbye, mother,'’and pulled* the
trigger. His bullet grazed tlie ear of
the seconds, wtm was standing thirty
paces to the right. “Majah” Edwards
demanded a second shot, hut the
second whose ear was blending per
emptorily refused to accede to the
request, unless he would agree to
shoot at him instead of "Majali" Fos
ter. The affair was then amicably
adjusted, and the two game “jiiiine
llsts” fell upon each other's necks,
wept, and rolled up their sleeves to
hunt for strawberry murks. “Majah”
Faster then said he would go to the
hotel and change his bowsers. Tho
trowsers (white duck) looked as if
they needed changing. Indeed it is
intimated that the laundress charged
"Majah” Foster five dollars for doing
them up. After bathing their re
spective honors in champagne, and
taking up a collection to pay the
Illinois fanner for the cow killed by
“Majali” Foster, the party returned

The great distinguishment of Col.
Benton was the warfare which lie
made as a member of the Senate of
the United States upon the National
Bank. The National Bank system of
his day was not so anti-Democratic,
nor was it calculated by its tenor to
create such a moneyed oligarchy ns
our present National Banks. Tho old
National Bank which Col. Benton op
posed had a capital of $35,000,000. It
was chartered for twenty years. Col
onel Benton regarded such nri insti
tution us dangerous to the liberties
of the country, because of the undue
influence it, was able to exercise upon
the elections. We now have two

ital of $400,000,000. Which is the
