Sherman, of that committee, wrote as follows
The income acquired under the protection of our
laws should pay 10s. appropriate distributive sham
for s
for that protection, whether the persons to whom it
accrues are citizens or aliens, residents or non-resi-
dents. It is practicable to secure that share from
stockholders in these well-recognised and established
companies and corporations. Whether or not it is

, as well to
understood that England deducts her tax from the
interest she pays upon her securities,
the foreigner as to the citizen."
Mr. Conger, chief of the Immigration Bureau,
reports that the total number of passengers who
arrived in the United States during the year 1865
was 287,397, of which 225,939 landed in New York
and 3,330 in California. All countries are repre-
sented. One hundred and twelve thousand were
from Great Britain, and nearly eighty-four thou-
sand from Germany.
The Richmond Republic asserts that " the times
demand a strong Union party at the South." " The
recollection," it writes, " that the great common-
wealth of Virginia, infatuated by the fascination of
cotton, should have separated from the Union of
which she was bound always to be a leading state,
and consented to become the appendage of a cotton-
state confederacy, is the most mortifying one con-
nected with her whole history. How would she not
have pined away, and withered, and decayed under
the domination, and taunts, and injustice of un-
appreciating, self-sufficient, and conceited cotton-
growers !"
The St. Louis Republican announces the return
to that city of the president and vice-president of
the Pacific Railroad, after an absence of two weeks
on business connected with the road they represented.
The conference of leading railroad men in Philadel-
phia was entirely harmonious. It promises to give
us the Union Pacific Railroad to Fort Riley early
in the ensuing month of August ; while the pros-
pects are flattering that the great overland mail
will be transported over the Pacific.
The Boston Transcript gives a few extreme in-
stances of the rise in rent, and in the price of real
estate in that city. In one case the rent of a store
in Washington-street had 'recently advanced from
houses in desirable locali-
one thousand three hundred to three thousand two
hundred dollars. Small
ties have advanced in price from twenty-five to
forty per cent.
The Charleston Courier chronicles the arrival
there of one hundred and sixty-five German emi-
grants, men, women, and children. They will form
a settlement on the plantations in Christ Church
parish, and raise cotton and vegetables.
The Boston Journal advocates the passage of the
bill recently introduced into Congress, to secure the
speedy construction of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road and Telegraph. It urges that this route has
as strong claims on the Government as the Central
route ; that the two routes, being five hundred miles
apart, cannot, by any possibility, interfere with
each other, and that the Northern route should be
completed as soon as possible, in order to afford
immediate and direct means of communication with
Montana and Idaho, so that the wonderfully rich
mines of these rapidly growing territories may be
made available without delay, and be laid under
contribution to the national finances.
The Miscellaneous Appropriation Bill, passed by
the House of Representatives, contains an appro-
priation of $lOO,OOO for the purchase of Ford's
Theatre for the deposit and safe keeping of docu-
ments and papers relating to soldiers of the army of
the United States, and of the museum of the medical
and surgical department of the army.
The Oil Springs Chronicle, of Canada West, says
that an extraordinary oil well has just been dis-
covered in Canada. It yielded on the 21st of
February 2,259 gallons of oil in one hour, which
was at the rate of 1,692 barrels of thirty-two gal-
lons each a-day.
The Boston Traveller says that by the recently
published returns Massachusetts stands second only
to New York in the amount of internal revenue
paid into the United States treasury. It states
that the aggregate of the other five New England
States does not approach in amount that from
Massachusetts. The valuation also is nearly equal
to all the others combined. The city of Boston
alone has more than double the valuation of the
entire state of Maine.
In Missouri the planters are exhibiting great fair-
ness in their labour contracts. The St. Louis
Republican says that in the counties of Howard and
Randolph negro factory hands (men) are getting
from $2O to $35 per month and board ; small boys
and girls (stemmers) are getting from $5 to $lO per
month and board ; field hands (men) $2O to $25 per
month and board. As a consequence the blacks are
well disposed, there is less poverty, and the profits
on capital largely increased.
MR. PHILIP NICKLIN DALLAS, the only son of
the late Mr. George M. Dallas, died on March 17 in
PlyAdelphia, in the 41st year of his age. He was
a Tac-aber of the bar, and while his father was the
American Minister to England, he was Secretary
of Legation. Mr. Dallas was a very estimable
gentleman, and his loss is much regretted.
GENERAL SHERMAN. —The people of St. Louis
have furnished General Sherman with an elegant
residence in that city. The house was selected by
himself, and was completely furnished by the gene-
rous donors, the whole costing $30,000.
The Galena (Ill.) Ga:ctle says :—" Many of the
people of Warren and other towns in the eastern
part of the county are using corn for fuel. We
had a conversation with an intelligent gentleman
who has been burning it, and who considers it
much cheaper than wood."
The Virginia Legislature has adjourned. Lieu-
tenant Governor Cowper, in his parting speech,
declared that the people of the South were now
more thoroughly loyal to the Union than the citi-
zens of other parts of the Republic.
Jared Sparks, the American author and historian,
died on March 15, in the 77th year of his age. He
was born at Wilmington, Connecticut, on May 10,
1789. In 1815 he graduated- at Harvard College,
of which he was the president when he died. Mr.
Sparks was the author of many works on history
and general literature, the chief being " The Life
and Writings of Washington," which was published
in successive volumes from 1834 to 1857. Mr;
Sparks's labours have contributed 66 standard
volumes to the libraries of the country. In Eng-
land he was well-known from the Mahon-Sparks
controversythe authenticity of
