Leaving undrawn of appropriation

Leaving undrawn of appropriation
for 1867, $2,992.7S
Your Exccllency will perceive that our ex-
penses, including the pay of an agent for Irc-
land, have been entirely within the appropria-
ton. 1t was the intention Of the law to have
the three agencies of Ireland, Germany and
Scandinavia filled, an the appropriation was
estimated accordingly. Subsequent develop
ments would seem to make it desirable to also
establish an agency.iu France, if we could, in
any manner, accomplish it, which would per-
haps DO possible by means of last years. unex.
pended funds. Several Of our Southern sister
States have now established immigration bu.
reaus. Louisiana pays h0r commissioner a
very liberal salary and provides for two clerks
and Eve agents. But New Orleans has now
seeam commupication with Europe, and i'm
migrants for Missouri and the far West travel
that route. Texas is increasing very fast by
larg Immigration from Germany, four vessels
with nearly thousand passengers having ar
rived at Galveston this season. This is owing
to her German colonies established before the
war. Tennessee provides only for agents in
the Northern parts of the United States, and
expects to gain her share of immigration in
that manner. But her people arc very much
alive to the subject and are everywhere form.
ing associations to facilitate immigration by
private contributions. by reducing the sala-
ries Of our other agents, wc might, perhaps,
also have an agency in New York !; but am
not convinced of any great advantage from it.
The better class of immigrants to that great
port proceed Immediately to their points Of
destination, leaving those without means and
without settled purpose, and very often dis
ciplined to agricultural pursuits, behind them.
Such we could not give employment to. We
are as yet too contracted in varieties of pur
suits, until our industrial occupations and
general prosperity shall be once more better
developed. There are now q number of pri
vate agencies ready to gil all orders of planters
for laborers on special contracts My efforts
have been directed to an influence in Europe
which should give US class Of immigrants

TO THs EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
; In response 10 the communication OF K, which
Yppears In your issue Of this morning, relatng to
the subject OF infant mortality in New York, Sub
ject which DR.. Stephen Rogers, OF this city, SO
graphically and ruthfully laid before the public in
his paper read at the meeting OF the County Medical
Society OF the 14tn OF September, beg you will per-
init me to say, as member OF that society,
that there Ia as yet no cause for the despera
tion which x. seems to entertain Of any useful
action In that almportant matter on the part the
society. Although the meeting alluded to by X,
held On the 18th instant, for the discussion OF
the subject OF that paper, was almost wholly
m0n0polized by members OF the Metropolitan
Board OF Health and by the representatives OF other
institutions, which the paper had rather roughly
criticised, and the valuable time OF the society
wasted In listening to the unnecessary uncalled for
1isordery not to say indecent attacks upon the
fnor OF tnat paper, can assure Y. that the society
etill lives and that whatever the people may DO at
Enc Cooper Institute the Medical Society OF the
bounty ana city OF New York has by no means ter.
minated its labors in the great field which DR.. Rog-
Srs paper laid before 1t. While that meeting was
{ain to adjourn quietly upon that disgusting exhibit
zion OF passion and prejudice thereby giving the
dirty waters OF municipal administration time to
eete let x. rest In the certainly that the sociSy
pas calm but determined purpose to continue the
battle against infantcide in all Its varied forms.
And in order that the HERALD may fully compre-
portunity exert its powerful influence for human
{ty and for truth, herewith send copy OF the Ned
tcat Record for the LIST Of october, which contains
the said paper. T.
