The State Treasurer, Hon. Wm. E. Smith, In
reply to an Assembly resolution, has sent In

amount sold was 81 500 tDo. OF this amount

EN- A1AVN F1OM E1AUFEs
hardly day passes without bringing news
OF The arrival Of a steamer from some part Of
Europe, with from eight to Twelve hundred
eteernee passengers, mud the advices from the
continent Of Europe, and particularly Ger:
many, point to m unprecedented rush Of en-
igrants during the entire season. A few days
ago one of these steamers arrived at Halifax,
with one hundred and sixty Of these passen-
gers writhing with the cholera, forty having
been consigned 10 the ocean en sosde. It be-
hooyea the Governments ofthe countries where
these several steamer lines belong, to take i'm.
mediate and active measures for the better reg
ulation Of the vessels and more humane treat
ment Of passengers Secretary Seward has
lately called the attention Of the House Com
mi&tee on Commerce 10 this erii, md none too
soon. Us II would appear from the revelations
recently made 1T Halifax. ''~
The present. steerage system is simply an
outrage upon civilization. Though IN i'm
proEement upon the old slavc-tEaders, the In
man, Canadian, German, Belgian and French
lines OF cmigrant vessels and steamers are
still altogether deficient in all the essential re-
quirements ef cleanliness, comfort and proper
1ood, so- far as steeragc passengers are con-
cerped. Leaving out Of the account emlgraut
packets aud sailing vessels, which arc Jet tar
Inferior IN accommodation to the emigrant
steamesa, We will conane ourselves to a
police Of the principal steam emtgrant lines.
These start respectively from Hamburg, Dre-
men, Herrc, London aud Liverpool, and oc-
easionally from Antwerp and other ports.
German emlgrants generally embark at con-
tinental ports, though there are many Of
them who take passage from English OF Irish
ports, the agents OF the various British lines
OF steamers having branch houses In the prin.
cspAl cities Of Germany and France. where
they issne tickets directly for New York, ria
liverpool, or Cork, or Londonderry. We be-
lieye that the German lines Of Hamburg md
Bremen are In some respects superior to these
English lines Of steamers, bnt, how-
ever this may be-, 1t Ia Ger
tain that with various. shades. OF
Of difference In point of. proEisions and room,
all these steamboat companies are yet or
ganized upon tho principle that steessgge

sure, The latter para nearly four times more

congress has done what was never done
before SINCE this Government was formed. It
ms passed bill BY two-th1rds majority In
10th branches, over the Presidents veto, aud
nealn1t his personal efforts to defeat the
measure. The great and important Civil
Rights Bill Is now a za.c, In defiance Of the Ex-
tcutirc- 1t Is placed on the statutes OF: the
Republic in opposition to the will Of Andrew
johnson, to Tenlain there until this genera
lion Of 1ueif are all In their graves. This
great bu passed the Senate over the veto by
tHo-thirds majority and three votes to
tpasc, and pissed the House by . full three
touzths majority. Congress has. asserted Its
Independence Of Executive dlctation, and has
proclaimed Its right to determine the policy
Of reconstruction, and to dx the political
status Of the people In the States lately in
rebellion.
.TEis great victory over Executive dlctatiou
was On tie adversary of Leo's surrender 10
Gen. Grant. April 9th, 1866. The deliberate
attempt to undo the work accomplished by
Grant and his army is. baf1led md rcbuked,
by happy co-fncfdencc, on the
very day that the rrbcls laid down
their arms and surrendered, at dis.
c1etion to. Tho conquer1ng Republicans.
No Congress crer before passed politica-
measure over the veto. There have been
few instances where bills Of no political sir.
nihcance or consequence have been passed
oSer vetoes, such as improving the nariga-
tion Of a river or relating TO revenue cutters.
But here Is The most important bill Of the
session-one involving the rights md inter
csts Of millions Of people, carried triumphant
ly over the head Of the Tennessee malignants
In the White House. "My policy" has re-
cejycd stunning blow on tho head from the
Congressional cudsel. The act to "protect ali
