GERMAN NEWSPAPERS IN THE UNITED
STATEs.-The number Of German newspa-
perS published in the United States is
greatly on the increase, being at present
Ill, of which 46 appear daily nor is this
to be wondered at, considering the enor-
nous quantities of Germans who leave
their Fatherland forever to become citi-
zens of the great Republic, and who flock
over in swarms of more than hundred
thousand annually, taking with them their
wives and children F; and rs they can all
read and write their native language, and
have but little or no knowledge Of English,
they for the most part live gregariously,
and settle in the same township or district,
so that the necessity for learning English
is reduced to minimum. Thus the field
for German journalistic enterprise is ex-
tending rapidly from year to year, and the
German element threatens to swamp the
English at no very distant period, when
German will become the preponderating
language of the country. The largest
number of German newspapers is to be
found in the State of Pennsylvania, where
2S are published, 6 of them daily. New
York can boast of 26, including I daily
Ohio 10, of which 3 are dailies Illinois
has l6, 6 of which are dailies; Wisconsin
has II, including 8 dalies; Missouri has
IL, including dailies; Indiana 9, with 3
dailies New Jersey 6, with 3 dailies Ne
hraska has 4; Kansas 4; Tennessee 4,
including one daily Minnesota 4; Ken
tucky 3, 2ofwhich appear daily Maryland
3, including 2 dalies Michigan 3, 2 of
which are dai les; Texas has ?; California
2, both dales; Louisiana 5-a daily
whilst South Carolina, the District of
Columbia, West Virginia, Connecticut,
and Massachusetts, have each one weekly.
or the present 81 States of the Union, %
have newspapers in the German language,
the IA thus not represented being Ala
bama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Geor-
gia, Mississippi, Maine, Nevada. New
Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia
The Oldest German newspaper published
in the United States is the Reading Adler,
which was founded in 1896, and has thus
attained the respectable ageof u years.

Another Usurpation.


In order to control the electoral vote Of the
South and secure it for Grant and Colfax. Con-
Cress has iust passed bill 70 exclude the votes
of those States that may not have adopted
Constitution Of State Government since the 4th
Of March 1867, under which such government
shall have heen organized and in operation. and
unless the election shall have been held under
The authority Of snch constitution and govern
ment, and such State shall also have become
entitled to representation in Congress pursuant
% the acts Of Congress.
The object Of this new and Infamous usnr-
patton is apparent. Neither Virginia nor Mis-
sissippi are likely to give their votes n the
Radicals, and the Rump Congress which has
already prepared the way to secure about forty
electoral votes from the carpet-bag States, is
not willing TO let the last named States have A
voice in the election Of a President. Frank
Blairs policy may vet be needed 10 counteract
this new villany The votes Of Virginia must
be counted, in spite Of Radical opposition. and
at all hazards. even at the risk Of encoun;ering

public"

Singular Accidents.


In New Bedford, Mass, on the 4tb, there
was balloon ascension, and as the balloon
started to go up, the guy by which it was held
caught and displaced the grapnel, which fell
from the car. In its descent il struck upon
the head Of little boy named VIM. Mottrom,
belonging in Taunton, fracturing hisskull. The
rope having been cut, the grapnel was dragged
along and caught one little boy, named John
Bono, under one arm and the chin, and another
named Charlie Jones, on the hip, and both
were lifted into the air. The balloon was as
cending in direct line, when the @ronsut,
hearing the cry, and seeing the boys suspended,
cut the rope with knife, thus giving the little
fellows their only chance of escape. They had
reached an altitude Of forty feet, and fortunately
fell into tree, which greatly broke the force
of their descent, and thus saved not only their
lives but their limbs Both suffered from the
conclusion. They remained insensible for a
time, but will recover.
