The increase over last report is lover the re-
port of first week in May, ls. In the above report
there is no remarkable increase Of disease, except
dropsy in the head, Of which so many very young
children die. We observe sensible decrease IN
the lumber of deaths Of children-ll7 In this re-
port to l2l the previous week, when the total was
IL less. The Public Institutions remain very
healthy, especially when the rush Of emigration Tor
the past ten days is considered. 1t may be set
down as fact that the City at present is in good
state of health. If proper care be taken TO make
clean and keep clean our streets and crowded
dwellings, we may possibly escape the scoarge
that swept off 5000 persons last Summer The

EXAMPLE FOR TEXAS.

The following opportune statements are furnish

sWhen Rhode Island claimed portion of the territory
which under the jurisdiction Of Massachusetts, she pre-
sented her claim through the Supreme Court When Massa
chusets claimed portion Of the territory under the ursdic-
ton Of Rhode Island her ultimate threat negotiation falling

boundary questions with each other and of them very
exciting questions. Heretofore State has threatened any
thing further than peaceful appeal to the law hes been
reserved for Texas the youngest member Of the conedeacy
reject the tribunal erected for the settlement of such dis
pues the tribunal to which other States have submitted
and declare tha. unless the question settled in her favor
and her satisfaction she will make upon the General
Government And told that unless the General Gov
ernment submits to Texas, or buys off her claim we SHALL
within few weeks wnsss the commencement Of civil
war This may be true. It is certainly stated upon very
respectable authority and may be that there is other
way to preserve the Government than to submit Texas
But very certain that this be SO, the Government
not worth preserving Deeply attached the Jnon
do hesitate if it is not strong enough to make
good its just authority in this instance it is wholly inadequate
the great purposes of government We have referred
this subject frequently, because believe to be Of the
highest importance There many politicians in hesouth
who desire dissolution Of the Union per There are
others who think that the only way to preserve the Union
to yield every demand that is accompanied by threat
dissolution We do not believe this but if it must be,
willing to the question tested the question which is to
settle the value Of the Union by settling its strength Let
know whether it be really held together by rope Of sand

GERMAN REFUGEES IN AMERICA.

1t is stated in private letters written by Germans in the
United States to their friends in Germany, that Americans
sympahze with the political refugees who have re-
Gently settled among them, and that the eIies are COM
PEELED descend to enploymens far beneath their former

ker and Ziz working farms Anneke Is IN poverty
in Wisconsin, Meernch paints ssnboads for shops the
He1amers have opened public house in New York kap
hawks religious books and tracts; DR. Ede Berlin lite
rat is in the service Of baker; Frobe the colleague Of

and has opened agency business( London Corr Of Phil
North American.
We have the honor of knowing personally seye-
raj Of the gentlemen here named, and are confident
that the complaints referred to have not come from
them. At any rate, we see no great harm in their
earning their living by honest work, whether on a
farm, by keeping public houses, making bread, or
any other useful business. To us, it seems rather
creditabe for professors and literary men to exhibit
talents of a nature so practical. Had the mass of
German politicians and philosophers had the benefit
of few years such discipline in this country. there
is little doubt that the revolution would have turned
out great deal better than it has done Wha. is
said above about descending to employmens beneath
former positions is nonsense.-N. Y Tribune

THE GREAT RAILROAD CONVENTION at Port
land, whose object and gathering we have hereto
fore stated, continued through three days, adjourn
ing on Friday evening. 1t was very large, inter-
esting, and influential meeting, numbering among its
attendants the most eminent citizens and officials of
Nova Scotia, Halifax, and New Brunswick, as well
as those of Maine. The Governor and members of
the Legislature Of Maine were in attendance, and
the proceedings appear to have been harmonious
and enthusiastic throughout.
The Convention adopted resolutions, the sub.
stance of which was, that the States Of Maine, New
Brunswick. and Nova Scotia, be called on TO grant
concurrent charters for constructing railroad from
the valley of the Penobscot TO the eastern terminus
Of Nova Scotia, and that resources be solicited in
grants Of public lands. Also, that appeals be made
TO railways between New York and London for
aid and an appeal to the General Government for
contracts for mails. That no subscriptions be ask
ed till public aid be granted. That the present Le-
glsaiure Of Maine be asked for charter to the
State line; and that Central Executive Commit
tee OF seven be appointed to carry out these objects,
and also local committee along the line.
