To the Legislature.

Governor Orr, in his message to
you, while he has given much good
advice, has also made recommends
tions which, if carried out by you,
are calculated to bring your body
into disrepute.
You have all sworn to "recognize
the supremacy of the Constitution and
laws of the United States over the
Constitutionand laws of any State. "
The Constitution of the United
States prohibits you from passing
"any law impairing the obligation of
contracts" (article 1, section 10Y
You, and all Judges in the State, are
bound by the decisions of the United
States Supreme Court, wherein ithas

The United States Supreme Court
has uniformly held that all exemption
laws (among which are classed home-
stead laws) that are retrospective, or
apply to existing contracts, are in
violation of the above provision of
the Constitution.
Governor Orr has advised you to
apply the homestead law to eristing

have been completely devastated by
the fires, which, having been acci-
dentally kindled in the dry bush,
spread over the whole face of the
country. The fire was still smoul-

1000 acres of moorland have been
left black and desolate, with scarce q
living bird or animal, or vegetable,
excepting the largest trees. The

wonderful Tido of Immigration.

The current OF emigration from
Germany to the United States, al
ways large. is now expanding into
almost startling proportions. It ap-
pears that from January l to June,
the number of emigrants who start
ed for the United States by way of
Bremen was more than $1,000. In
addition to this, nine steamers were
advertised in the beginning of June
to sail from Bremen for New York
and Baltimore, which would bring
over, it was anticipated, 1000 more
emigrants. The increasing magni-
tude of the German emigration is
beginning to be discussed by the
statesmen of that country, as a Sc
rious drain upon tho population of
those districts from which they are
drawn, and even upon the strength of
the nation. A recent conversation with
Baron Won Beust, the Prime Minis
ter of Austria, is published in the
magazine Hours al Home, and, among
other things, the distinguished Ger
man statesman is said to have al
luded to the increased emigration to
America, brought about by the late
political changes in Northern and
Central Germany. "What a sad
spectacle" he exclaimed, "to see
hundreds OF thousands of strong and
able-bodied Germans leaving our
shores and helping to build up q
magnificent empire beyond the At
fantic. Here is q question to be
solved by our political economists-
to devise means and ways of public
economy by which an end would be
put to this most calamitous loss of
the nations vital strength"
The Baltimore Sun suggests that,
SO long as large standing armies are
kept up in Europe, involving heavy
taxation, and 80 long as rivalries of
dynasties for ascendancy keep the
population of Europe always in peril
OF war, the exodus of the people will
go on, especially under the addition
al incentive of the greater demand
and higher remuneration for labor in
this country. Since the forced union
OF SO many lately independent States
with Prussia, a considerable increase
has been made il the income tax. by
which the common laborer now paws
two per cent. on his small yearly
earnings, and all who have an income
over a thousand rix dollars, pay
three'per cent. Whilst this last Ia
not as high as orr OWE oppressive
income tax, it is collected monthly.

determining the taxable property Of
each citizen, the house rent is re-
garded by the assessor as the basis Of
the estimate, and it is assumed itiilat
his income lis five times the amount
of his actual or estimated house rent
IF he protest, he must be esworn and
subjected to q detailed examination.
In the villages, the tax-gatherers
ring their bells up and down the
streets, summoning the taxpayers to
come out and settle their monthly
dues. Labor and industry bear the
whole burden of taxation, ministers,
teachers and Government officers
being free. In the Rhine region
and about the Main, there are some
most embarrassing regulations
about the time and method of till
age, which may be considered in the
nature of q tax on labor and pro-
duction.
It is said that the laws. which, in
Germany as in France, partition out
the landed estate of deceased pro-
prietor among his children, have
gone SO far that the right of way in
certain districts to these fractional
lots exceeds the value of the land.
The wages of labor are very low
common field laborers getting twen-
ty-four dollars o year wages, with
their board, which is estimated to
cost about sixty dollars more, and
women about sixteen dollars year,
and the same quantity of food. Or,
by the day, thirty-two cents day
for men, and sixteen cents for wo-
men, during the harvest season. Two
pounds of black rye bread, quarter
of pound of cheese, sufficient pota-
toes, with butter or lard to cook them
with, on four days of the week, and
every other day half pound of
meat. Cabbages are sold OF 81 the
hundred head, and are considered an
article of luxury, not entering into
the common food of the laboring
class. Meat costs from ten to four
teen cents per pound; flour seven
cents pound; potatoes seventy cents
for 200 pounds. The price of labor
has only risen two per cent. in ten
years. Mechanics wages are from
forty-eight to fifty-four cents per
day. 1t is noticeable fact, however,
that the emigration to this country
is usually from districts the most
advanced in comfort and mental
activity, and it is the best and not
the worst part of the laboring popula-
tion that comes to America. Whilst
the cost of living may be considerably
less in German than in this country,
yet the higher wages here and the
greater comfort and ease of living in
the United States, especially In the
Southern States, present very strong
attractions to men of enterprise and
A New York contem-
porary, in q late article, expresses
itself gratified ''to notice that Ger
man emigrants are beginning to di-
rect their attention to the South rs q
field of enterprise. In many impor-
tant respects the South offers supe-
rior advantages to the industrious
and thrifty emigrant than are offered
by the West. We commend the
South to the Irish and the Germans
both. The South needs their little
capital; needs more their labor-and
the rich and teeming soil is ready to
rewarl them.
