OVERLAND EMIGRATION TO THE Pacific
STATEs-Once more the overland route from
the Western States to California and Oregon
begins to indicate an activity OF emigration
such as has characterized it for the past four
years. The tide, which generally continues to
flow in the same direction for some six weeks.
commencing at this period of the year, has set
in on its annual course but its present volume
far surpasses that of any previous season. I'm
medately after California had first exposed the
mineral wealth OF her mountain gorges to the
eyes Of the ubiquitous, enterprising Yankee,
and when the sea voyages to San Francisco oc-
cupied period of over hundred days, the
wild and hitherto untrodden route over the
plains and across the Rocky Mountains be-
came at once as it were, highway for the i'm
mense population of adventures whose imagi-
nations were excited to the highest pitch by
the reports of the illimitable wealth which the
newly-acquired State possessed. The strange
and romantic incidents of that first years pill
grimage to the gold regions the perils which
the pilgrims incurred, and the restitution AID
fatigues which they encountered exceed in in
terest the widest conceptions of novelist or
poet. The civilized world heard with wonder,
mingled with incredulity the narratives of that
hosts exodus. in comparison with the dangers
of which, those of the Israeltes, in their wander
ings from Egypt to the land of Canaan seemed
light and Insignificant
Since then. quick and rapid communications
have been established between the Atlantic and
Pacific ports. across the Isthmus of Panama; yet
still each spring has witnessed repetition OF
the like scenes. And at this present moment,
while magnificent steamships leave this port
weekly, conveying passengers to San Francisco
within the lapse of month, we learn that the
most extensive preparations arc being made
for vast overland emigration. From all the
western points Of departure-from Indepen-
dence and Weston in Missouri. from Van
Buren, in Arkansas, and from Kanesville in
Iowa--thc exodus has commenced. Immense
caravans of emigrants with their wives and
children, and cattle and household gods, daily
wcnd their way through these outposts Of ciyli-
cation, and go forth fearlessly to encounter all
the terrors Of three months journey through
Tie ucstrI eAPoscu w pciHa anu priSdt'ons,
and to the attacks OF remorseless savages. Ex-
perienced and we'll informed persons have com
putcd that the emigration in this way will
amount this year to at least three times as much
as it did in 1913, tie great proportion of it
being destined for California; and it il csti-
mated that this vast train of emigration will
take from the Atlantic States no fewer than a
hundred thousand head Of cattle. This is the

THE LATE MURDER TRTALs.-Tw0 murder
trials have occupied our Court Of Oyer and
Terminer for the last two days-murders Of
the deepest dye-wife murders (which have de-
veloped most degrading Incorporate scenes Of
life, appalling to our humanity. These cases
were the murders of Margaret Fitzgerald and
Mary Neary, by their husbands. perpetrated in
this city within the last few months, under
circumstances of the most painful nature. In
the case of Fitzgerald reported in the
HERALD Of yesterday-the jury. after nineteen
hours deliberation. brought in verdict Of
guilty. and the prisoner was remanded for SEN
tence. The trial of Neary-reported in this
days paper-was marked with one painful
feature-as painful to the feelings Of our ma
ture, almost, as that of the murder ola wife by
the hand of him who had sworn to cherish and
to comfort her in veal or in woe-in sickness or
in health. We allude to the testimony of the
son of the accused. an intelligent lad. about
fifteen years Of age who at the dead hour of
night witnessed the brutal beating of his mother
by his father with heavy mallet. He gave his
testimony with clear, unmistakable certainty,

which was evidently the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth" The prison

the whole examination, and the boy. on descend
ing from the stand, passed his hapless parent by

trials against the Incorporate use of ardent
spirits-that liquid fire which steels the con-
science and dulls the moral sense whilst it
raises the desperate energies and powers and
passions Of man The defence in the case of
Ncary was unaccountability. in consequence
of deierium tremens, brought on by intempe-
rance. The jury, after an hours dclibcration.
found the prisoner guilty of murder. recon-
mending him to the mercy of the court and to
executive clemency.
The case of Neary, and that of Spring, the
monster murderer Of Philadelphia, show. that in
those dark deeds of midnight butchery Provi-
dence will work out justice against the shedder
of blood. even though it be through the instru-
mentality of the offspring Of the guilty.
