"N0w at length we hear from

be quite sufficient to account for
this and similar phenomena. Again
It has been long recognized that the

Southern Labor.

The question of emigration to
the Southern States is nov rcCeiv-
ing considerable attention in this
city from the efforts OF the Young
Mems Christian Association and
the German Emigration Society.
General Lieb, late of the Illinois
HOlks ZeituRg, is about to make a
tour through the State of Missis-
sippi and other portions Of the
South, for the purpose of inform
ing himself as TO whether the pc
litical status of that section is such
as to warrant the encouragement
Of emigration thither, and also
to ascertain the price and location
most desirable for the German
farmer. General Lieb, during the
war, occupied q prominent posi-
ton in the army, first as COM
mander Of the 9th United States
artillery, stationed at Vicksburg,
and afterWard as Inspector Cen
eral OF the Department ofthe Mis-
sissippi, and commander Of the
sub. district Of Grenada. He is
acquainted not only with the cOun.

ofinluentIal citizens of that State,
and we have no doubt, through

seeking homes and employment,

The Howard Investigation.

The prominent part Gen Howard has acted
in administering the affairs of the Freed.
mems Bureau, has added a great deal of bit
terness to the persistent effort now being
made to impeach his official integrity. Our
faith in him is so firm that nothing short of
positive proof will convince US that he has
been guilty of corruption or malfeasance in
office. Meanwhile We put on record the plea
Of his pastor, Rev. DR.. j. H. Rankin, made
in the late Memorial Convention at Chicago
" Mr. President Yesterday | met in this
beautiful city of the West, this magic creation of

The Crops.

The monthly report of the statistical dyis-
ion of the Department of Agriculture has
been issued. In relation to the condition of
winter grain, it says that the April returns
as to the appearance of winter wheat and rye
and other cereals are very complete and rep
resent every section of the country in which
these crops are grown. They picture a small
and poor growth, thinned in places by winter
killing weak and unthrify in spots from loss
of vitality by long exposure under the ice or
to freezing winds but with these exceptions,
vigorous, of good color, and ready to start,
under the influence Of genial spring, into
lOxurant and healthful growth. These blem.
ishes are neither general nor very marked in
the localities where they appear, with occa-
sional exceptions of severe freezing While
the appearance of wheat is by no means as
promising as it was last year, the difference
is due more to the backwardness of growth,
caused by late planting, followed by au early
winter, which allowed of but little more than
termination before cold weather set in, than
to injuries from freezing. The regular re.
turns were prepared about the first of April.
The tenor of later information gives assur-
ance Of general and rapid ameioration,
which may yet result, the season favoriug, in
hno crop Of winter wheat.

their abodes are wooden huts and lodges of

BurlingaIne.

Vice President Colfax writes as follows
concerning Minister Burlingame, recently de-
ceased
Nor did he, in this appeal, though speaking
Tor China, forget that he was an American Rep
resenting nation which did not recognize in its
religion the Old Testament or the New, he frankly
bore his own testimony TO the value of the Chris
tian faith in which he had been educated, and 10
the higher civilization it develops
Conyersing with him often while he remained
at Washington, he gave me one evening per-
s0nal experience Of his, resulting from his novel
and unprecedented position, which has never been
published After he had accepted this diplomatic
trust, and just before he left the shores of Asia,
he saw newspaper which bitterly denounced
him for renouncing his American allegiance as il
charged, to take a lucrative appointment from
foreign power. In the weeks OF his long Journey
across the Pacific it often oppressed him with
gloomy lorebodings Before he reached the Golden
Gate they became at times almost uncomfortable.
Is 1t not possible, he reasoned to himself that
Americans may regard my acceptance of this for
eign trust as selling out of my birthright2 lie
knew he had been conscientious in consenting 10
take 1t, in the interest of civilization, humanity,
progress, and international GOODWILL. But De
knew, too, how harshly md unjustly public men
are sometimes judged and he told me- when the
steamer sailed up 70 the wharf at San Francisco,
he was in a state of feyerish excitement. The
wharf was densely crowded lie looked from the
deck OF the steamer upon them, and wondered If
i were possible that, inaamed by hostile criti-
eism, they had come there to jeer at and insult
him. The first man that came upon the deck be-
fore the steamer had swung round 10 its place
was porter or baggageman, who of course did
not know him. Burlingame asked him, as coolly
as possible, what all this crowd meant. WHY
