The Yankee schoolmasters, clerks, agents, &c.
who like The Tribune were generally obliged to
discontinue it, through fear of opprobrium, mob
law and Lynching. But we have fair list Of
oldfashioned Southrons, well known as extensive
planters and Shareholders, who, though they dis
sent from some of our views, like to read The
Tribune and 'ciH because they can afford it. One
of them lately told a neighbor who ventured to
hint TO him that be ought TO stop The TribuRe,
that he happened to own hundred and odd ne
groes, which be considered his own business and
if any man who owned more saw fit to lecture
him as to the journals he chose to take or insinu-
ate that bis fidelity to the South was question:
BILE, be would bear it, but if any person not
Shareholder, or owning fewer slaves than he did,
ever again mentioned the subject to him, he should
hold that intermeddler to personal responsible
ty. He has heard nothing more on the subject.

Report of the Commissioners of Emigration.

The Commissioners of Emigration have made
their report for the year 1850, to the Legislature
1t is signed by G. c. Verpanck, Samuel Smith,
Mayor OF Brooklyn, r. r. Lawrence, Robert B.
Minturn, G. g. Woodruff, Mayor of New-Yorl,
John f. Develin and Adolph Rodewald-two of
the Commissioners refusing to sign for some rea.
son or other.
From this report we get the following interest
ing facts
The whole number Of aliens, subject to bonds or
Communication, who arrived ct the port of New-York
during 1850, was 1902 less than during the pre-
cediug year.
This decrease arose entirely from the diminish
ed emigration from Germany. The falling off Of
this class of emigration amounts to about one
fifth, the number of Germans arriving at this port
being IS, 1879, against 5000 Of the year 1919.
The emigration from Ireland has continued, as
heretofore to exceed largely that from any other
country, and to increase numerically and in pro-
portion to the whole, having exceeded, by 2l,274,
the whole number arriving from other countries
The statistics ofemigraton to this port, and ofthe
relief afforded to destitute diseased aliens under
the operation Of this commission, present the fol-

The great amelloratlon OF the mode Oh carrying
passengers since ls4s, has continued generally to
exercise its beneficial influence during the last
wear. Some few exceptions, chiefly in foreign
vessels, have, by the disease and mortality pro-
duced from defective ventilation, crowded ships,
and bad food, strongly attested the Importance of
the general improvement and the necessity of
rigidly enforcing all laws for the prevention Of
such evils.
The whole number Of persons who have, in va
rious ways, been chargeable to the Commissioners
for occasional temporary aid, up olong continued
support and medical care, was over $4,000, or
above 10 900 more than during lS49.
The funds of the Commission are now mainly
derived from the payment of 81 50 from each
alien passenger, in Communication for the securities
REQUIRED by the act of April IL, 1919 There are

ment of law, and also from other contingencies Of
small amount.

Hints to Husbands.

Do not jest with your wife upon sub
iect in which there is danger of wound
ing her feeling. Remember that she
treasures every word you utter. though
you may never think Of it again. Do not
reproach your wife wilha personal defect;
for. if she has sensibility, you may in
flict wound difficult to heal. Do not
treat your wife with inattention IN COM
panv; it touches her pride; and she will
not respect you more or love you better
for it. Do not upbraid your wife in the
presence of a third person; the sense OF
your disregard for her feelings will pre-
vent her from acknowledging her fault.
Do not often invite your friends TO ride,
and leave your wife al home; she might
suspect that you deemed others more
ompanionable than herself. II you
would have pleasant home, and cheer
full wife. pass your evenings under your
own roof. Do not be stern and silent In
your own house, and remarkable for So
ciability elsewhere. Remember that
your wife has as much need of recreation
as Yourself, and to devote portion at
least of your leisure hours to such socie-
ty and amusements as she may join. By
doing so. you will secure her smiles and
increase her affection.

Diamond cut Diamond.

A clever farmer, who By the way own
ed grist mill. was sent to the Legisla-
ture. He. like many before and since,
resolved to be the father Of some import
ant MEASURE. And SO, while looking to
the public good, apd at the same time
seeking his own ends. he resolved that
the practice of bringing large salt sacks
holding four bushels, (too much for his
miller to iift,) should be stopped. Ac-
cordingly, at the first opportunity he in
troduced a bill. making it the duty of
each man to bring his grain to mill in
bags not TO exceed two bushels in capac-
ity, and that in every case where they
should exceed this quantity, the bag and
grain should be forfeited to the mill.
This ridiculous measure was put to rest
in the following manner. One of the
members proposed an additional section
in about the following language: :
And be il further enacted. That.in
case any person shall carry to mill any
bag containg less than two buShelss the
miller shall in every such Case make up
all such deficiency, so that there shall be
uniformity. and every man have always
two bushels to be ground. no more and
no less.
