GENERAL JosErH HoIr.-It is 4 marvel.
lous fact that when our martyr President
Lincoln succeeded Buchanan there were
probably two honest men in the Cabinet of
the feeble, if not false, retiring administra
tioI. The subject of this article, Judge
Holt, soon found favor with an Adninistra-
ton that required the sterpest loyalty and
integrity TO breast the terrific storm Of trea-
SON by which it wis assailed. He has per
formed distinguished and honorable service.
OF late, however, he has been assaifed BY
Ger balm men who had an interest in bringing
falls 70 accusations. We are graiifed to note
iu the Washington Chronicle, Of the I'D ult. ,
ldtter from Col L. C. Turner, which expo
sesf the s'boaom OF the conspiracy, for
such II wRs-nnd which will satisfy every
reaaer that our 9 Bureau OF Justice is still
presided over By Judge as loyal and hon
est as he is fearless and capable. Neither
treason nor injustice nor faisenood Of any
kind can find favor ct bis hands Such men
evidently deserve eommendation.

VIrAL STATisTics.-A Philadelphia medi.
cal journal re-publishes part of the Registra
tioh Report of Massachusetts, for 1854. made
by DR.. Allen, of Lowell. The vital statistics
are startling, and will be found to apply to
many other States, as we'll as Massachusetts.
The increase in population is chiefly derived
from immigration, and by births among the
immigrants. The foreign population have
almost four times as many children as the
natives. The number of the deaths, with
Americans, for 1864, exceed the births by
5000 The births have been diminishing for
long series Of years. The first settlers in
the towns had nine or ten children to each
family; they now average less than three.
From these facts DR.. Alien concludes that
the native American stock, .1at no very die
tapt day, must run out. No remedy is
suggested.
