The German emigration TO The United States
since 1852. has outnumbered The Irish, aud in
1854 was twice a. large. In less than eight
years there have been nearly SOC, 900 Germans
entered the port Of New York alone. The
numbers in each year have bssn very varied
In 1851 there we're 70, $40; in 81, ll9.49s; in
81, Hs,69s; in .'55, $4,000; in SO, 5S,li7; in
81, $3.50; in SO, about 10000. These emf
grants bring much money with them and scat
ter it over the west and northwest. Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois have received
large numbers, who have settled themselves
down ~ cultivators Of the soil, and have quietly
gone 70 work. Others have entered New Or
leans and have gone to Texas, where they have
introduced free labor even for the cultivation
Of cotton. Some have reached Missouri and
engaged there in the raising Of grapes for wine
making. Kansas is receiving her share Of the
valuable population. These Germans form some
of our best population.

do not believe the net earnings Of this branch

viting the public to invest in roads at twice
their actual cost, which they are building in

that will allow them 100 per cent. profit In
an exhibit recently put forth, they state that
that portion of the Mississippi and Missouri road
which, though running, is only half completed,
cost $40, 900 per mile. At the time it is fully
completed it will have cost 100000 per mile, for
road for which t25, 200 per mile is an ample
estimate. When these parties attempt to put
their scheme upon the public, 1t will be well to
bear these things in mind. They are up to the
sharpest kind Of sharp practice, and as they
probably control the stock, they will very likely
saddle it with another Peoria Branch.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE CABLE,

The cable gives no sign. 1t was duly opened in
New York the LIST instant with all sorts Of dem
onstratons, and it ought to acknowledge this ova-
ton by opening its mouth for at least yeti
tinues to be speechless. The difficulty is carefully
concealed from all except the initiated, OF is permit
ted to leak oatlithe BY little By steamer from Europe
We are admitted to knowledge of the existence of
certain retardatons to the transmission of the cleo
trio current and which present difficulties in the
way of the practical working OF the cable. On this
side, we have significant fact in the retirement of
Cyrus w. Field from the direction cf The tottpany
proving that discord exists among the players upon
this @ocean harp. 1t is limited that his resignation
is due to foreknowledge of the outbreak which is
certain to ensue among the electricians and their par
tsans. The line is still under the superintendent
Of Engineer Bright, whose incompetency delayed the
submerson of the cable twelvemonth, and of Elec-
trician Whtehousc, who occupies it exclusively in
experiments to perfect the working Of instruments
of his Observation-Disclosures ascerained in this
country to be af inferior to the delicate apparatus
of Mr.. Hughes. When the line shall have passed
from the laundering management now controlling il
to one imbued with the true spirit of American en-
terprse, shall expect practical results from
the accomplishment Of this great work.
