EMIG r ALTON.

A careful estimate Of emigrants arriving
in this city since Friday evening last, gives
tho gratifying number Of ,026, by railroad,
boats, and private conveyances. Nearly
all have Quilted here, or will do so, many
Of them making purchases of stock and
wagons, in EDITION to the usual supply of
clothing, tents, provisions, &c. Though
somewhat backward this year, in compari.
son with last season, no one can doubt that
the emigration from this point will be fully
to the highest number reached last spring,
even if not exceeding it. Their outfits are
more complete, and they 60 out with the
experience Of the past to prevent them fall
ing into any of It's disastrous errors. The
army Of gold hunters now fairly on its
march, and appearances Indicate strongly
that the ensuing autumn will find among
the bills and in the valley of Jobosa'' q
population numbering not less than fifty
thousand, and in all probability far more.
Many of them, perhaps, will push on still
farther towards the fancied Atlantis, in the
hope of finding amid the rich mineral fields
OF Carson Valley an ample recompense for
their labor, ~ they undoubtedly will. We
think the gold mines Of the West arc yet
undevsloped. 10. West Of Eth.

MAIL TO PIXIES PEAK.

II is well.known, that although the Gov.
eminent has passed bill establishing FIVE
post routes in the region Of the new Gold
Mines, it has not yet established service on
any of them. In a letter, under date Of 9th
inst, to the Hon. SCHUYLER CoLrAx, Chair
man of the House Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads, tbs Postmaster General
says that if Congress will at once, by spe-
cial bill, pass the appropriation for this
service, now incorporated in tho General
Post Office appropriation bill, "the Depart
ment would at once furnish temporary SER
vice under the act of 1886, if it can be OBJ
tanned on reasonable terms, and adv ertise
for regular contracts there, to take effect in
July next" tits necessary that t is course
should be taken, in order that mail service
may be put on this season, as the General
Appropriation bill, for the Post Office De-
par,ment, will not be passed until the close
of the session, and then there would not be
time to establish service on the routes to
the mines.
ColFAx undertook to introduce bill into
tho House. making this appropriation of
So. 900 contemplated by the General Post
Office bill, to supply the Pixies Peakers
with mails, but met wit opposition from
Southern Democrats. Unanimous consent
being necessary, under the rules, for its
introduction, he failed to get it before the
House, whoreupon he gave notice that he
would seek his remedy, by moving a sus.
pension Of the rules on come subsequent
Monday. Mr.. CRAWFORD, of Georgia, at
the same time gave notice, that when Mr..
CoLFAx made such q motion, no should re.
sist it with all the influence he could COM
mand, on the Democratic side Of the House.
lie also gave notice that he sh 9uld ask the
attention of the House in opposition to the
passage Of the bill.
This man Crawford, (says the Chicago
Press & Tribune,) is "one of tho Southen
Democratic leaders. His opposition to the
bill is purely factious and malevolent. lilo
opposed it becansc the miners are nearly all
free State people. If they we're slavchold-
ers, and digging gold with the labor of
slaves, Mr.. Crawford would be Jealous
advocate Of any bill that would quickly
establish mail facilitjeso

SENATOR GRIMES.


Our new Senator is destined to fulfil all
the expectations of his friends in his new
position. lie is a man of that positive
character which, coupled with his unusual
talent and sagacity,is bound to make him a
man OF influence IN any circle. And though
his acquaintance here has been brief, his
proper rank has been conceded to him from
the first, and his opinion andeounsel already
enjoy substantially their just weight. In
fact, he is kind of man who, wherever
he goes, takes his proper place, spontane-
ously and readily. lie stands here a man
of mark among the foremost, and his infu-
cnce is felt and respected as much as that
OF almost any man among the Senators on
our side of the house. He maintains here
tho same frankness, the same Independence,
tho same directness of approach to every
subject that gained him SO much distinction
and influence at home. Experiences in his
new situation will of course add to his use-
funess and influence; and he is vet grow
ing man. Before his term expires he will
occupy a very conspicuous position in that
distinguished body Wash. Cor. Keokuk

e OPERATIONS o. TlIx NEXT CENSUS.
The New York Times Of Thursday con-
tains .somc intesestiDg speculations spon
1hs next census, the probable popuIatiop,
Eits eject on the Representatives OF the free
and slave Ststcs, &C., which are OF interest,
though they may not closely approximate to
the actual result. tits estimated that the
total population OF the United States will
be 3l,5i6, 600, OF which q ,666, 800 is put
down a. free, and ZOO, 500 slave. OF the
free population SOC, 900 il estimated to be
negroes. Tho entire population Of the
slave States is l2.O4O, 600, and OF the FREQ
Is, 500, 900. The Representative population
Of the slave States -, OF course, considera-
bly less than IL ,000, 900, rs two fifths of the
census net Of 1850 the House Of Represen-
tatiyes must consist Of 233 members. The
whole representative population must be
divided BY this number, which determines
the ratio for each State. II, when applied
to each State, the number Of representatives
does not equal 233, then one additional
representative is TO be given to each State
having the largest fractions, till the aggre-
gate is obtained. Applying this rule to the
above representative population, (assuming
the estimate to be correct the general ratio
for representatives obtained is l24 900.
Upon his ratio, Alabama will lose one
Representative, Connecticut one, Georgia
one, Kentucky three, Massachusetts one,
North Carolina one, New York three, Ohio
one, Pennsylvania two, Rhode Island one,
South Car lina two, Tennessee one, Virginia
two, AMI Missouri one-2l in all;-and
Illinois will gain FIVE, Indiana one, Iowa
four, Michigan two, Missouri one, Texas
three, Wisconsin two-l8 in all. From
these fats, or rather speculntions, the fol-
lowing Geductions are shown:
l. Al the old and large States of tho
Union, without exception, lose ground rela-
lively, ard most of them positively.
2. The South loses ground largely; the
new State Of Texas, having fire fold The
Territory ef the old Svates, and lying west
of tn, Mississippi, is the only one that gains.
8. The only part of the Union which
positively gains is the Northwess-Missouri
being properly included 10 that.
4. The Northwes. positively gains Is
Representatives,, and two Senators in Min
nesda.
5. The slave States lose | | Representa-
tivei and gain 4-beng positive loss of ].
Thefree States gain IA and lose l0-being
a positive gain Of four, with four Senators
in Minnesota and Oregon. The admission
of Kansas and Nebraska, which will speed
lily happen, will add two Representatives
andfour Senators to the same side.

THE TWO HOMESTEAD BILLS.

There are now two bills before Congress,
embracing the Homestead principle, one re-
ported by Mr.. Grow to the House, and the:
other to TIE Senate by Mr.. johnson, Of Ten
nessee. The former admits to participate
in its benefits, any person over 81 years of
age, who is citizen Of the United States
or has declared his intention 30 become
such. 1t throws open all lands, subject to
presumption, and iss benefits are conferred
upon any one who has filed Jre-emptinn
claim. And the latter confines its benefits
10 heads of families who are citizens of the
United STATES. or bad declared his intention
10 become snch before the passage ofihe act;
and the only lands supioot 10 .tS Pro
visions are the alternate sections opened
for private entry.
Mr.. Crows bill is the Republican prop
osition, and Mr.. Johnson's viii receive the
support of the Democracy. Under the
Republican bill a company Of emigrants
from any Of the old States, or from Eu-
rope, can locate upon the public lands lying
adjacent To each other, and form settle
ments composed of men of various eceupa-
tons, and thus build up thriving villages.
But under the other bill this cannot be
done, as the government reserves every al
ternate section. so that settlers must ne
mile from each 9th r. This will tend to
encourage separate plantations, rather than
villages.
The most obnoxious feature of the Loco
foco bill, however, is the exclusion OF all
adopted citizens from its benefits. All emf
grants who may hereafter arrive in this
country, or who have not yet declared
their intention of becoming citizens, arc
debarred from obtaining homesteads at the
West under it, and compelled to remain
in the already crowded localities of the
East. There is no good reason for this
and it benefits neither the
emigrant nor the native citizen, nor the
country at large, to make it. 1t is more
acceptable to Congressman from the slave
holding Sta es, because it will not encour-
age the growth of free Territories and
States, which the House bill will, directly
and strongly Detroit Advertiser.

OUR 70


Is hereby cordially extended to Brother
MosER, Of The Southwest, for thcoutspoken
and manly position he has taken in regard
to the action Of the Central Committee in
calling the State Convention Ut Iowa City.
We believe him to be as earnest as truthful,
when he employs such language as this -
"lt is treating the Republicans of the South
aud West unfairly. Why could not the
convention be held in Des Moines or Oska-
loosa? the most central part Of the whole
Safe. We cannot give an answer to this
question unless it is the work Of some Office
seekers living in the eastern part of the
State, who wish to keep to themselves all
tho Offices, ashley have heretofore done.
We heretofore have been contented to have
the convention at n place all could reach
without travelling through the State, and
have unrepiningly given all the Offices to our
eastern and northern friends, but sooner or
later such contentment ceases to be vir-
tue, and the time for turning the scales will
arrive. We acknowledge that we cannot
cast as heavy vote as the northeastern
half Of the State, but our vote is large
enough to elect all the officers.
ssWe are in part of the State which has
none of the couveyances our eastern and
northern neighbors have, and to commence
journey Of two hundred and City miles on
horseback, or in an open conveyance, is
rather large undertaking, and one that
but few will be willing to enlist In. As q
consequence, we will be without repre-
sentative in the convention. OF course we
are expected to stand by the action Of that
assemblage, and take what they, in their
magnanimity, see ft to give US. if it should
be no more than-nothing. This Is tie way
the Office seekers have served the west,
knowing that men here were Republican,
from principle, and not for tho spoils OF
Office, and would elect the men chosen By
them. II we had % good place 70 hold the
convention, and no competent man 70 bring
out ms candidate, then ne would not hase
word to say, but a. long as We are favored
as much 80 Ne are now in these respects, We
shall bringin our protest 70 oil such werk."

1t is well to revive few of the INCIDENTS
connected with the murder of MIR. Loejoy.
if our readers would feel the full fore of
the bearing and language of his brther.
The Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy was the ditor
Of the Alton Observer, an anti slavery rper
printed at Alton, Illinois, right over thefivel
from Missouri.
The press Of the Observer was three lines
destroyed by mob-the last time onEoy.
7th, 1887, at which time Mr.. Lovejoi was
killed. On the night of the 9TH, m otcol-
lected around the warehouse in which the
press vast having arrived by rive the
day beforehand threatened vioenceif it
was not delivered to them. Mr.. Lovejg, and
a number of friends were in the warehouse
and prepared to defend the press. Themob
was told from the warehouse that the Pess
would not he given up, and then the nab
commenced an attack.
A shot fired from the building took faal
effect upon one of tia mob, named Lymh
Bishop. and the mob for time withdrey.
They, however. rallied again with increasl
force, and set the warehouse on fire. Thei,
to escape death by burning, the inmates wea
forced to leave, and in doing SO, the Ret
Mr.. Loveioy, Mt he door Of the building,
received four balls in the breast, and fell :
corpse. The mob brought out the press, ant
having smashed it, threw the pieces, int
the river.
That is the outline Of the affair. The mol
was from the Missouri side, and the who'll
outrage perpetrated under the lead and iii
rection of slavery. The thrilling effect oil
Mr.. Owen Loveioy's remark to Mr.. Clark, o
Missouri, can be better seen in the full gar'
of the history Of that Alton outrage. AMI
hence we have looked up. and revived tn,
important facts.
The blood of Lovejoy stained the nam
of Alton for many years-for its muoicipa
authorities were powerless before the de
mands Of slavery-aud that city, to this day
has not recovered from the blow the deatl
of that man gave her.
