The statistics Of immigration at New York

- The statistics Of immigration at New York
are still astounding to all who examine them. in
comparison with the figures for previous years.
Up to June l6, there had been landed at Castle
Garden 124,098 foreigners during the present
year-more by thousands than ever before during
the same period, and nearly 10000 more than du-
ring the same time last year. From the 10th to
the 22nd of juno the arrivals numbered 1914
making the total arrivals for the three weeks in
June, 1886. The number Of Germans is the
grestest-40,95G Ireland follows with 25354,
the latter figures being for tho time up to the 10th
of June There is something significant in the
movement of Swedes. In 1866 the whole number
of natives Of Sweden who came to this country
was but 1O9 For the twenty years between l847
and 1867 the whole number from that country
was 1866. In 1867 the number was l,695, and
in 1868 it was IA, $40, and during the time up to
the 10th of June of the present year the Swedes
have already numbered 14,429. One thousand
more of the same nationality arrived during the en-
suing week 1t is estimated, from carefully pre-
pared data at The statistical bureau of the Treas-
nry Department at Washington, that during the
mast thirteen years we have received and assimiln-
teti two and half million immigrants from other
lands

following cure for that dreaded malady, which is
communicated to German paper in New York by

discovered by surgeon in the British army on

When the preceding fever is at its height, and
just before the eruption appears, the chest is rubb-

causes the whole of the eruption 10 appear on that

HABEAs CORPUS.

Col. JESSE MCGEE, WILLIAM A. MCGEE, and
WV CHAMBLEE, who were recently arrested by one
JERRY HoLL1XsHEAD, deputy constable of the
Stale, for the supposed murder Of Charity Norris
otherwise called Charity Long, colored woman,
were to-day brought up before his Honor Judge
ORR on habeas corpus. The MoGEEs were repre-
sented by Messrs REED & Brown, and CHAMBLEE
by Mr. B. F. WHITSER. The deputy constable
had been notified that the application would be
made, that he might be present and make any
counter showing, as were also the Chief Constable
and the solicitor, but none Of them were present.
The parties were detained, as it would seem, upon
the affidavit of the deputy constable, who is
stranger in this county, that he had reasonable
grounds to believe that the parties charged were
guilty but what those grounds were. are matters
of conjecture. The afidavits submitted by the
counsel for the defence, showed very conclusivey
that the prisoners could not have been guilty OF The
offence charged. This was an aggravated murder
and it is to be hoped that its perpetrators may be
discovered and brought to punishment but in this
instance we think the constable has been mista-
ken. The testimony of the husband of the mur-
dered woman, as read on the above application,
was that the murderers of his wife were negroes
Judge ORR, under these circumstances, admit
ted the MoGEEs TO bail, each entering into bond
in the sum of $500, with two or more sureties in
the sum of $500; and CHAMBLEE on his entering
into bond in the like sum. with two or more sure
ties in the sum of $1,000. The reason of the
distinction was on account of the minority of

THE LATE HENRY ]. RAYMOND.

The leading newspapers of New York, and in
decd of the whole country, unite in warm tributes
to the life and character of the late HENRY ]. Ray
MoSD, editor of the Times. remarkable instance
of his working ability and great powers of endu-
rance is related as having occurred upon the death
of DANIEL WEBSTER, statesman for whom Mr..
RAYMOND had the greatest admiration. The intel
ligence reached New York on Saturday, and on
Monday morning the Times contained an admira-
BILE biography, covering twenty-si1 columns aud in
addition three columns of editorial on the same sub
ject. all from the pen of Mr. RAYMOND, who wrote
sixteen columns of this extraordinary biography
without stopping moment to rest. AS feat of
journalistic labor, it has probably never been
equafled. From the numerous of fattering trib-
u,es of the metropolitan press, We select the con-
cIuaing portion of the glowing eulogy in the Tr'-
6une, whose chief editor first encouraged the talent
of his now departed confrere:
While his hands were full of business and his
life full of activities, the strange swift order came
To- him to leave all this for larger occupation.
There was no time TO say his fnrewels to old asso-
ciates, but they crowd 10 say tender farewell to
him. There is no journalist to take his place the
epitome of his power is written thus. Pure SUM-
shine floods the earth this morning, and 6l.ers
down in mist of gold on the cool, sweet sward Of
Greenwood. where his eyes last looked on it, The
golden mist will float above new grave, where he
shall lie besdethe lad he loved 80 much and, shim-
rveripg in the sun, will seem to- make ladder
through the shining air whereon the angels Of the
Lord shall ascend and descend.
His hands are folded on his breas';
There is no other thought expressed
Than long disquiet merged in rest.

A REMARKABLE MEMORY.

There is a young lady residing in this Villrge,
about l6 or II years of age, who has memorized
"The Lady of the Lake." That famous poem by
Sir WALTER Scorr seems to be a favorite Of the
ladies. 1t is q very remarkable instance of the
rctenti1eness of memory, and although most read
ers would have been contented with memorizing
its most striking passages, yet her fancy seems to
have embraced the entire poem. We understand
that its recitation takes her seven hours, and we
venture the assertion that this was more than Sir
WALTER ScorT could have done himself after
writing it.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION

The Supreme Court of Georgia has decided that
she code of Georgia, adopted by the new constitu-
ticn, forever prohibits the marriage relation be-
tween white persons and persons of African de-
scent, and declares such marriages to be null and
void The opinion says that this section of the
code is not repealed by, nor is it inconsistent with
shat part of the constitution which declares that
the social status of the citizens shall never be the
subject of legislation. That clause of the consti-
tuition absolutely denies to the Legislature The
power to pass laws in future regulating the social
status or compelling the two races to unite in social
intercourse. AS the laws then in existence allow
ed churches, for instance to determine for them
selves who should occupy their seats and where
they should sit and permitted rail Dads and steam
boat companies and hotel keepers to classify and
assign places to those using their accommodations
according to social values and grade as they might
think proper the constitution puts it beyond the
power of the Legislature even to enact any law
compelling them to make difficult classifcatons or
to group together in social intercourse those who
do not recognize each other as social equals. AS
the social relations Of citizens are not the proper
subjects of legislation, the constitution has wisely
Put the matter at rest by denying TO the Legislature
Che power to repeal or enact laws on tho& subject.

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.
LARKIN NEWTON
Cufte Greek, S. C.

The iact that Governor Scott is advertising for
contracts in connection with this road, says the
Charleston Courier, gives rise to reasonable pre-
sumption that its completion may be looked for at
an early day. A gentleman of some experience
in such matters, writing to the Courier, suggests
that great portion of the road can be built and
that speedily, with convict labor. The many con .
victs that now fill our jails, work houses and pen
itentiary can be made source of revenue to the
State, as our neighbors on the Savannah River
have done. General Ruger, while Military Gov
ernor Of Georga, leased the penitentiary convicts
of that State to parties who obligated themselves
to pay ten dollars for each one per month, feeding
and clothing them. The convicts built the greater
portion of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Road from
Gross Plains to Rome, and are now building the
Dalton Branch. Some two hundred and fifty are
also at work on the Macon and Brunswick Road.
The contractors find them the best labor they can
get, and prefer them to free labor; while the con
victs prefer aborng in the open air to being shut
up in cells, by which means their condition is
amelioruted Let Governor Scott follow General
Ruger's example, and hire out these convcts, and
not bject the impoverished taxpayers of our
State to the additional expense of feeding them.
If the thieves and robbers who infest our State
and rob and plunder for living can be captured
and convicted, and put to this work, it will not
only save the State many thousand dollars, but
also make them useful members of community
in which they have forfeited heir privileges The
nroiect is worthy of trial.

DsArR OF MIsER-How HE ACCUMULATED
WEAbrH-HIs COLLECTION OF TREAsUnEs.-There
died in Baxter-street yesterday morning ON old
man, 78 years of age, who, although he breathed
his last breath on heap of dirty rags and sur
rounded by misery and sqMalor, such as one can
not find outside Of the above dirty thoroughfares
was worth handsore fortune. Persons who have
been accustomed to peyamoulate the streets optbe
East side of the city during thepas few years are,
no doubt, familiar with the sight of this old man,
and have, no doubt, often stopped and watched
his movements with plying interest
This odd character was ragpicker and almost
any morning during the pasten years, could be seen
busily engaged in overhauling the garbage boxes
and cutters along the Bowery and adjacent Streets
Dirty and dilapidated, his clothes patched and
pieced in most grotesque style one would suppose,
upon meeting him. that he was man against
whom Dame fortune had an eternal spite, and who
was prosecuting him unrelentingly. Yet this old
man was worth fortune. Twas curious how he
laid the foundation for his wealth. While raking
among the filth of q gutter in Prince-street one
morning about ten years ago, he found in the mud
valuable diamond, which he sold to pawnbroker
for several hundred dollars. This brilliant soli-
arie was the nucleus around which mony subse-
quently clustered. Rumor had it that the old man
was not honest, that much of the wealth which he
had secured had been obtained by pfering. But
this was only rumor, and although it was known
that he possessed valuable collection of miscel-
laneous jewellery and other valuables, still no theft
was ever traced to him, and he was allowed to re.
tain undisputed possession of his wealth. Once
the police searched his old hove for stolen ring,
and during the hunt they found under the floor,
buried in the ground, old coffee-pot, containing
jewelry and gold of great value, but the missing
ring was not in the collection The old man howl
ed like maniac when his treasures unearth-
ed and the story is that upon the departure of the
officers he disposed of his jewels to o Chatham
street pawnbroksr, securing for them handsome
sum which he invested in real estate
The only relative of the old man now living isa
little girl-his grandaughter-an inmate of an or
phan asylum, who will inherit the entire fortune
left by the old miser.-New York Sum- 24h instant
