The Statistical Record of the
Government Bureau shows that in
thirteen years, ending with 1865, over
two and half millions of Europeans
emigrsted to this country, the greater
number coming from the British
Isles--ss is still the case. Great as
is the German influx, it is surpassed
by that of the Euglish-speaking pop
ulation, which in fis year. up to the
present month, amounts to over
54 600 heads, while the German
only reaches $4,000. With respect
to those set down as coming from
England-oyer 10000 in this year
it is beyond doubt that great num-
bers of them arc Irish, who come
away from the port of Liverpool
The persistence of the Irish exodus
is very remarkable thing, consid-
ering that 1t proceeds from a popu,
lation not much larger than that Of

STAND FROM UNDER.

BY spasmodic reaction, such as
nations and States rarely escape at
times in their history, the Democracy
of Ohio were two years ago entrust-
ed with the control of The Legisla-
tive department of our State gov
ernment. Our legislation had been
shaped by the Republican party for
many years, and the Democratic
Legislature assumed its duties
pledged to the most rigid economy.
Indeed, they owed their brief power
in a great measure to their persistent
IdenHnciation of Republican extrav-
agance, and their own pledge of
economy and retrenchment. Let us
look at the sequel, and we shall find
that this Democratic Legislature is
the most extravagant and expensive
one we have had for many years
The expenses of the last Legislature
we're more than double that Of its
its Republican predecessor. In ad-
ldition to this, it created new offices,
at q cost of $4,000 per year; it
Increased our State liabilities to the
amount of 81, 100000; it has added
to taxation for local purposes to the
amount of $500, 900, and has author
lied the contraction of debts by
municipal corporations to the stu
pendous amount OF $25, 900, ,0O0.-
This is very damaging record for
q party which came into power on
the express pledge Of economy
The people will deem two years Of
such economy entirely sufficient.
Besides the waste and expenditure
which these Democratic economists
have been guilty of, they have also
passed q series of partisan enact
ments which are unequaled in the
annals of legislation for their injus-
tice and odiousness. They passed a
law DISTINGUISHING the crippled SOL
diers of the Republic, in the asylum
at Dayton; they passed law dis
franchising the students of the State,
knowing that blow at the educated
portion of community was blow at
the Republican party, and in the
interest of Democracy; they passed
the "Visible Admixture Acts for the
purpose of disfranehising men who
have enjoyed the elective franchise
for years, and that by long line OF
decisions by the Supreme Court OF
the State. In short, the present
Democratic Legislature has become
stencil in the nostrils of the people,
and when Gov. Hayes again assumes
the responsibilities of the guberna-
torial chair-as he most certainly
will if he lives, and will accept it,
he will have the assistance and sup
port of legislature in unison with
the spirit of the age.

The SIANEsE TwINs.-The following
gossip concerning the Siamese Twins
seems rather epochryphal, but as it is
on the authority Of that eminent s%ayant,
Mark Twain" we hand it around for
the benefit of chronological science /:
" Chang belongs to the Good Templars,
and is a hard working and enthusiastic
supporter Of oil temperance reforms.
But, to his bitter distress, every now
and then Eng gets drunk, and, Of
course, that makes Chang drunk too.
This unfortunate thing has been q great
sorrow to Chang, for it almost destroys
his usefulness in his favorite field Of
effort. AS sure as he is to head a great
temperance procession Eng ranges up
alongside Of him, prompt to the minute
and as drunk as a lord ; but yet no moro
dismslly and hopclessly drunk than his
brother who has not tasted a drop. And
so the two begin to boot and yell, and
to throw mud and bricks at the Good
Templars /; and, of course, they break
up the procession. 1t would be mani
festly wrong to punish Chang for what
Eng does, and, therefore, the Good
Templnrs accept the untoward situation,
and suffer in silence and sorrow. They
have officially and deliberately exam
ined into the matter, and find Chang
blamelsss. They have taken the two
brothers and filled Chang full of warm
water and sugar and Eng full of whisky,
and in 25 minutes it was not possible to
tell which was the drunkcst.

Observers Of the Eclipse.

Cambridge sends two parties to view
the total eclipse Of the sun, which &C.
ours on the 9TH Of August. The first,
under the direction Of Professor Joseph
Aimlock, Of the Cambridge Obserra-
tory, has gone. II includes Charles S.
Pierce, a son Of Professor Pierce, and
an experienced observer; Arthur
Searle, the Messrs. Clarke, the mathe-
NAUTICAL instrument makers Of Cam
bridge, and several other gentlemen Of
we'll known scientific attainments. Mr..
]. A. Whipple, Of this city, and an as
sistant, will accompany Professor Aim
lock 10 do the Photographic work. This
party has gone to S~helbyyille, Illinois,
where there is q good observatory f; but
on the day OF the eclipse they will be
separated quite widely, in order to
avoid what would be the disastrous
consequences Of a thunder shower,
were the entire party to be concentrated
at a single point. They are as finely
equipped rs any party Of observation
that ever went out, either in this coun-
try or in Europe, having a dozen power
full telescopes and every other ~instru-
ment that could be serviceable to them
which the country affords. Expert
meuts with the spectroscope have been
in progress for nearly year and q half,
and other preparations for the final
work have been most complete.
The other party will consist of mem
bers of the Coast Survey, accompanied
by Professor Benjamin Pierce, who

rs photographers. This party
will 60 to Springfield, Illinois, where
