EMIGRATION FROM EURopE.-Ef

forts are making by the King of the Neither
lands to render the emigration OF passengers
TO this country promp', cheap, and comior-
table. Passengers from Germany and Swift
Zerland are recommended 10 take steamboats,
down the Rhine; when they arrive at the
Neiherland ports, spacious and well regulat-
ed ships will always be found TO take them
to this country. The Consul of the Neither
lands, at New York, has issued a Circular;
in which all these advantages are set forth,
and the judicious means proposed by the
King for the regulation of emigration are
stated. 1t is estimated that sc, 900 Germans
annually arrive in this country. During FIVE
years preceding 1889, $4,000 emigran's
sailed from Bavaria alone, to the United
States. :
Emigration from England and Ireland is
daily becoming more systematic. 1t is said
that about seventy families have recently ar
rived in Boston, sent out under the direction
of Harnden 81 Co., by the Emigrant Society
in England. This Society has an agent res
siding in Wisconsin, who expends funds in
the purchase of land, and in the erection OF
houses. Persons with families paying one
shilling per week are members. Families,
when they arrive at Wisconsin, find a log
house and land ready for their use, which
they are permitted to occupy ten years at an,
annual rent of $25, at the expiration of
which time, they are entitled 10 the house,
land, and all the Improvements they have
made.
From France. the tide of emigration is
constant and increasing France, next to
Ireland and Germany, is doing the most t6
ell up this country. There are about 5 1000
Frenchmen in this State, 10000 in Michi-
gan, 10000 in Missouri and not far from 100,
900 in Louisiana. In other States the num-
Dor might approach 75,ooa,-N Errres

1IGH HANDEL oUTRAGE--wRIT OF LA
BEAs Corpus susPENDED.-The Legislature
of South Carolina, al their latest session,
passed a law enacting;
sThat no negro OF free person ofcolor who
shall enter this State on board of any vessel,
as cook, steward or mariner, or in any other
employment on board such vessel, and who
shall be apprehended or confined by any
sheriff, in pursuance of the provisions of this
act, shall be entitled to the writ Of HABEAS
CORPUS"
The Constitution of the United States,
sec. 8, declares:-
"The writ of habeas corpus shall not be
suspended, unless when, in cases of rebel
lion or invasion The public safety may require
it,"
South Carolina, thus in another instance,
SETS at defiance the Constitution of the Uni
ed States, and abolishing the great leading
feature of American liberty. The writ OF
habeas corpus has been allowed in that
Stale, ever since The reign of CHARLES the Sc
cond.-N. Y. Express.
1t would be difficult to conceive of a more
fragrant violation of the Constitution OF the
United States than the one above recorded.
YET because it only effects the right of the
colored citizens of this State, who, as a class,
ire debarred the privilege of voting, the cut
rage will moi call forth even a remonstrance
from the democratic-professing authorities of
this State.-Ab. Eve. Journal.

O. Mr.. THOMAS CLIFFORD, Proprietor Of
the "Salt Spring." has our thanks for a pre-
sent of a basket of 6ne, ripe strawberries
the finest we have seen for several years.
BY the way, speaking of the Salt Spring,
reminds us that the season for bathing is at
hand; and there is no place that we know of
within a bundled miles travel, where this most
healthful and requisite luxury can be indulg-
ed in to a better advantage that at the water
ing place in our n~eighborhood. We are as
sured-in fact we know-that the arrange
ments for the coming season are far superior
to what they have been heretofore. The
grounds have been we'll cleansed and are
now in beautiful order, offering a charming
retreat from the heat and dust of our city
The house, too, has been repaired, is airy,
and inviting; and the bowling alley furnishes
a past time, as well as exercise, which is as
necessary TO the supporter the human frame
as food. Ii is justly observed by an illus
trious physician, that, "were the exercise o
the body attended to in a corresponding de-
gree with that of the mind, men of grea'
learning would be more healthy and vigorou:
of more general talents-of ampler prac
tical acknowledgements happy in their domes
tic lives-more enterprising, and more at
tached TO their duties as men. In fine, !
may with much propriety be said, that the
highest refinement of the mind, without i'm
proyement Of the body, can never presen
any thing more than half a human being.

ALTERATIONS IN THE SENATE CHAMBER

ALTERATIONS IN THE SENATE CHAMBER.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce writes:
"Mr. Dallas, it is now said, was lately call
ed here TO decide the Improvements neces-
sary TO be made in The Senate chamber for
the accommodation of the growing family of
States. The limits of the chamber are mar
row enough to salt the views even of those
who would make the Mississippi our Wes-
tern boundary. II was not an easy matter 10
make room for Florida, Iowa, and Texas
Mr.. Dallas decided to add another row of
seats 10 the inner circle, in front ofthe chair.
Texas, Iowa, and Florida are there TO be &C
c~ommodated. The sofas outside Of the bar
will afford room, heteafter, for Wisconsin,
Nebraska, and the States hereafter to bs
carved out Of Texas and Oregon.
