THE EMIGRATION QUESTION.

The necessity and propriety Of some action of
the next State Legislature in reference to securing
portion of the emigration from Europe, is
being generally discussed by the press, and the
project warmly urged. 1t is proposed that the
Legislature make an appropriation to defray the
expenses of an agent who shall present the
claims of our State to the foreigner Immediately
upon his landing on freedoms shores Other
western States support such an agency, and they
profit by it. Every reason exists why our State
should take such action, and not one why she
should not. 1t is a one-sided thing. We can
only hope that the next Legislature will have
the enterprise to do it.
There is an urgent necessity for it. We don t
believe there is newspaper published in the
State but what is complaining Of the scarcity of
iaborers. In THIS locality we know that matters
are at complete stand still for the want of help
Steps must be taken to meet these wants soon
the great Pacific Railroad scheme will create
demand for help that cannot be answered-the
enterprise must stop, else it will draw from
agricultural pursuits sufficient to ruin the State
Railroad companies are monopolies, and are
entirely regardless of othels. A majority of our
farmers have not settled down to their pursuit.
offers of large wages will tempt many of them to
forsake their crops. We must have protection
from such an emergency, and the only way we
can get it is to take such steps, ID as
Again, We want our taxes lightened At
present they are enormous. Blessed is the man
now who hasn't anything. A large increase of
population will decrease the proportion of the
burden that public wants impose upon u.s. The
proverbial thrift of a larger portion of these
people will soon accumulate about them sufficient
property to relieve US greatly in this respect
There is no reason why our State should not
have such an Agency somewhere on the seaboard
If such steps are rot taken it will be because of
neglect. and not because of lack of public
spirit.

says 1t is fact we'll worth knowing, that, for
the FIRST time in many years, the Congress
coming into life at the middle of Presi-
dentia. term, is, in its political aspect,
friendly to the President. For quarter Of
q century, If We are not mistaken, an oppo-
sition Speaker has been elected in every
last Congress Of Presidential term. That
the next Congress is not merely Union,
but Republican, is strong testimony 70 the
popular estimate of the fidelity, honesty and
patriotism Of Abraham Lineolp, and bis
advisers. 81. =

Of forty miles of the Union Pacific railroad
IS graded and ready for the ties The
energy aud rapidity with which this work

continent. The same energy and indomit-
able will, which have sufficed to push tho
first forty miles through in an incredible

upon each succeeding section of the road.
