of inhabitants from abroad was about -Four Millions
And in spite of our great Civil War; gain by i'm
migration during the last thirteen years must have
largely exceeded Two Millions.
Nor is this ALL A very large proportion of thess
immigrants approach our shores In the flower of their
youth in the early prime of life, and soon become
parents of vigorous hardy children. Much has Of
late been absurdy said of the decay of the reproduc
tive power especially of primitive New England
stock and of the prospect that it will soon be sup
planted around the very hearth-stones Of the Pur-
tans the grain of truth at the bottom of this heap
of chaff being simply this: New-England has for
half century been sending forth the most enterpris
Ing and energetic of her and daughters to people
and ciyilze the vast regions which lie between her
and the Pacific; and she has been proffering homes
and work in their stead to the physically robust but
intellectually less developed youth of Western
Europe and of Canada. OF course, very large pro-
portion of those born on her soil children Of
foreignbOrn parents, just large portion of those
born in the Great West proudly trace their origin
back TO New-England ancestry. 1 presume that
this TRANSMISSION of blood is beneficial both TO the
East and the West and do not apprehend that the
original New-England stock is in any more danger of
being supplanted or run out at home than Ireland is
of ceasing because of emigration, TO be Irish.
OF the immigrants who landed on our shores in the
forty years ending with 1860 there came from differ
ont countries as follows.

District-AttOrney PierrepOint has uncovered
a very disgraceful and criminal business in the
drawback frauds, of which we have hitherto
given some brief accounts but of which we
preferred not to speak fully until, as now, we
could do so with assurance and authority. The
testimony thus far is fragmentary and some
what incoherent but it seems to be shown to
the entire satisfaction of the United States
Disri:t-Attomey that Deputy Collector Samuel
T. BlatchfOrd has for long time been COM
hitting glarng fOrgeries in making out GER
tfcates for goods shipped and collecting
drawback thereon (of course in collision with
OtheIs) when no such goods were removed,
and possibly never existed. More than humid
red OF these false certificates have been found
all bearing Blatchford's official stamp, and signed
with his initials. Yesterday Mr.. BlatchfOrd was
missing, and has not yet been heard FROM
The amount of these frauds is not known, but
three-quarters of a million is supposed to come
near the truth.
1t is, of course, improper to undertake any
Judgment upon the matter at this stage
Rumor has it that other prominent officers of
the Customs are involved; indeed, that they
have been in the secret, and shared the profits.
Gen. Grant owes to the public and especially
to the party that elected and support him, q
complete and fearless exposure of what now
now seems prOtracted and wholesale
swindle. Let us have the whole truth without
fear or favor, and wherever the sword of
justice may fall the people will heartily

Senator Cole, Gen. Babcock, and Judge OSul-
livan have gone to San Domingo with what we
might term commission of good nature, which
permits them to see all they can and converse
with whomsoever they please, but not to make
bargains for the United States. President
Baez doubtless has plan which, in the necessity
of his case, he has been tempted to submit to
these excellent gentlemen; and they have left
him perhaps with scmi-ofticial message But
the tenor of our advices from Washington
hardly warrants the belief that San Domingo
is even now, so to speak, cut-and-dried for
annexation; or indeed that the sensations
about the instant annexation of the island
have any substantial warrant.

The presence Of the nobility, royalty and the
craftsmanship of England, at the funeral of Mr..
Peabody, was full of eloquent meaning. Sell
dom or never have the great of England so
highly hOnored a modest citizen seldom have
Princes and Duchesses, and the Lord Mayor in
his robes, come together to render tribute
to the majesty of private worth. The events
of yesterday may teach those who most need
the lesson that the virtue of well-doing has
its throne and its crown to which even kings
may bow. England has not forgotten how
much she owes to an American citizen, nor can
we soon forget how reverently she remembers

The consummatiOn yesterday in Pittsburgh of
the great act provided for at the meeting OF
the Presbyterian Assemblies in this city last
Spring, means far more, we trust than the
mere union of two wealthy, numerous and in
fluential bodies of Christians that hold sub
stantially the same doctrinal views. with
this Union passes away one of those deep wounds
left in the social and religious life of the Nation
by causes which, in another form of their devel-
Opment, lately deluged the Landwith blood. We
hail it as an omen of returning harmony, and re-
ioicingly believe it to be only the harbinger of
better things to come.

the whole number of immigrants-mauy persons OF

be considered that thousands annually migrate

Because the registries of "the rural cOun-
ties and districts" are required by law to
include the names of all WhO pOted at our last
Fall Election, when every one voted who
could, to say nothing of those who legally
could not. OF course, those rural registries con-
tain a great many names of persons who never
dreamed of voting this Fall. In this City, on
the contrary, no name was lawfully registered
but that Of legal voter whs personally pre-
scented himself TO the registers of his election

WHICH is THE JUSTICEio

The World pronounces our test of the eff
cheney of Registration in Om City "toO foolish
"for serious confutation." Let us see:
The World had broadly asserted that Regis
tration precluded scrutiny or challenge at the
polls-that one whose name was on the Regis
try voted of course. We refuted this by show
ing that, while 1871 names were registered
in the City for our late election, only l17,0OO
voted, showing that oUer TiCenty-Sir thousand
were registered who did not vote. What more
can be neededf
The World seeks to parry the force of our
demonstration as follows:
New, Mr. Greeley will take the trouble 20 present
IN THE TRIBUNE an accurate statement Of the number
OF registered In the six strongest rural Republican
counties and statement OF the number OF votes poed
those counties shall be In better position to test
the sOundness OF his argument II the ratio OF persons
registered but not voting shall prove TO be about the

perceive that his unansperaJte argument will Dc

Old Metllusalela.

Methusaleb was the oldest man
that ever lived, yet the bible tells
us he died before his father. We
suppose that if Enoch (tbc father
of Mcthusaleh) was carried off by
a divine dispensation, "and was
not when his healthy boz was on
ly 800 years old, Gen. ". 90, 24l
the latter might properly be called
his survivor" without reference
to the particular manner of his de-
parturc (by death or otherwise) of
the parent. Methusaleh. for all
that appears to the contrary, might
havv lived to the destruction oe
Jerusalem, had he not been prcma-
turely carried off in the very prime
of his patriarehal yigor by that
sweeping catastrophe, the Noachic
dcluge. We read that he was born
Isl years before his eldest son or.
in other words, that he was lS7
years old when Lamcch was born
(Gen. v. 25); that Lamech was
le2 years old when Noah was born
(Gen. v. 2S); and that Noah was
900 years old ''when the Aood Of
waters was upon the EARTH" (Gen.
vii. 81 BY adding,tbese three Pc
RODS together We fnd their sum to
be 96O years, which would be Me-
thasaleh's age ''wheu the food Of
waters was upon the earth,,' AMI
We know that he was not included
in his grandson's ark. This ac-
cords exactly with the Statements of
the sacred historian, (Gen: y, 2)
that all the days of Mcthusaleh
were nine hundred sixty and nine
years before he died.
