SECURING EMIGRANTs TO THE SnrTIr.
The effort to secure enigrants form

pretty general. The Baltimore Sun
states that several of the Southern rail-
road and steamship lines, in order to
i"clltate emigration. have made ar.
fragments to issue regular cmigrans'
ticket from New York to all points in
the South. A special agent is to be
stationed at Castle Garden, New York
to accost emigrants on their arrival thcro
from Europe, and prevail upon them to
proceed South immediately. The rail.
roads are, OF course, interested in secu.

good condition the seed may be soaked
tor two or three days--nrvcr soak when
the ground is dry. When the planls
are week old, thin oul to two n,td plow
and hoe well. AS soon as the plants

hazardous that boats yesterday aban-
doned the falls, and either landed at
Portland, or took the canal chute.
The planting of fifteen or twenty
huge stone piers in the chanel of

ster ia we'll known to all our readers, aad his
intellectual abilities have bsen attested in
many bitter contest in the courts aud in the
political arena. William II. Kemble served
several terms as State Treasurer, signaliziug
his administration by the payment of the over
due State debt. He possesses the advantage
Of an intimate acquaintance with the public
men of the State, and the experience he ac-
quired as a oandidate..f,r the Treasurership ia
winning the four successive legislative eau
cuses, cannot fail to prove highly useful If he
becomes an active aspirant for the Senator
ship.
Independent of these individual contests,
many old politicians will be deeply inter-
ested in the question whether the new Sent
tor shall bs the ally of Senator Cameron or
his antagonist. Cameron has given so many
proofs of his adroitness and power in msni-
puls'ipg administrations that his rivals may
as well give up the contest il he is reinforced
by the incoming Senator. They will,
therefore, we presume, make earnest
efforts to secure the election Of an
anti Cameron candidate, or of an
aspirant who will at least maintain an
independent attitude. AS the cliques no "
stand, Cameron can point to his trium ph in
the last Senatorial contest as a proof of his
power, while his adversaries can boast that
they carried the last State Convention for
Curtin as a candidate for the Vice Presid .ncy,
in spite of Cameron's opposition. The i'm
pending Senatorial contest may furnish a
decisive test of relative strength, and powerful
motives will incite the ambitious men of the
State in the approaching struggle.

OF the oombatants was parading long and
dangerOus-looking knife before tbe aght COM
menced, 'loObing full Of murder" And Jet,
with these facts before him-he certainly reads
the Press (D-Mr. Mann, the late District
Attorney, permitted the full time allowed
by ths statute to elapse without
taking such action in the matter as would
prevent Judge Peirce yesterday from granting
an unqualified discharge TO all the persons
implicated, because 1t was his imperative duty
to do SO under q law which is both just
and meroiful. Iu striking contrast
with the case Of Michael Gallen
are those of Gottleib Williams and George W.
Winnemore. Neither of these miserable crea-
lures were politicians, the one being a crazy
spiritualist, and the other paralytic imbecile;
and both were literally hunted to the death
by the jealous District Attorney. We
do not find fault with Mr.. Mann
for the course pursued by him in either
of these latter cases. His action may have
been too hurried in both instances; but there
was ample remedy in the court aud the Exc
cutive Of the State, and his prompt
ness and zeal inspired at the
time terror in the hearts of reckless
men, which was as salutary as it was neces-
sary. Nor do we condemn Mr.. Mann in the
course pursued by him with reference to the
Gallen case, before he has had an opportunity
to be heard on the subject. We simply state
the facts in the case, and give expression
to the voice of the entire commupitv which
demands and will insist upon an explanation.
