him on immediately, paying all expenses. Il
gave him letter to Q friend Of mine in Wash

the defense, and to make correct report to me
as to how the case stood; If there was any
danger: and also, to communicate with me
if my presence was necessary, and inform me
without delay; with An urgent request that he
would see and inquire for himself how matters
stood. He left me, and God alone knows the
days of his absence. 1 imagined and thought
all kinds of things; yet was powerless to act.

to secure IN abundant and immediate sup

enhance the value Of their lands by the
rapid settling up of the line Of their road
The present is a peculiarly favorable time
for inauguating such an enterprise,
in view Of the distressed condition
Of the laboring class in England
and other parts Of Northern Europe, and
the universal dssire of the European work
ing classes to get to America by ali means
within their reach. The unassisted immi-
grafton Ct the past year is about $1,000 in
excess Of the year before, as indicated by
the arrivals at New York. Everything
promises an immigration during the pres
ent year exceeding anything ever before
known IN our history. This will be e1-
ceedlngly desirable, in riew OF the high
prices Of labor prevailing among farmers
IN our agricultural districts,

and Ex-Governor Marshall, Of Minnesota,

the Northern Pacific Railway Company to

more comprehensiveand extended than any

ranged with German capitalists for all
means necessary to the construction Of the
road with the largest force they can em-
ploy. They propose to offer to every i'm
migrant in Europe abundant employment

all got up on horsebaek,-b one recently
announced in meeting held at Topic,
which resolved that Chihuahua, Durango,
Sinaloa, Lower California, and portions Of
Jaliseo and other States, confederate and
declare their Independence. The region
has 135,325 square miles Of territory, 80
tipped up as to increase its superficial area
By 20 per cent, and oc4,o2s people, who
spend most Of their time in as nearly q

character Of tbeir country will permit.
They have no government but that Of the

the curiosiies Of Mexican politics.

C0OK COUNTY SALARIES,

The question OF Cook County salaries

stituhonal Convention, ne reproduce the
platforms Of the two parties in this county

dates for the convention were voted for,

deaTets to have inserted IN the new constitution
provision reducing the e1ceaeIve compensation

Now, if any member Of the Cook County
delegation goes back on the principle here
laid down, and defeats its application,
directly or indirectly, it will be primo jacie
evidence that ne has betrayed his coustit-
ucnts for consideration. The people are
not fools. They know what every word
means, and what every vote means. They
can follow with the naked eye
Ill the wHggling and twisting Of
Ill the gentlemen who talk on this
question. They viii not be deceived
Of misled hairs breadth.
We think that We can observe q desire,
not unaceompanied with shivering, on the
part OF certain members Of the convention,
to keep up the salaries Of the present off,
cers Of Cook County, either at the present
high figures or at some lower, but still
exorbtant rHte. It would be far wiser for
all these gentlemen to say boldly that that
is what they desire to do, than to stick
their heads in the sand, vainly imagining
that their hinder parts are thereby con-
ceoled from prblic obssr7atiou.

Michigan employs two State agents to
travel in Europe to solicit immigration.
The results Of their first years work are not
encouraging, being less than fifty immf-
grants many less We arc not told.
But the agents, Messrs- Relsig and Allont,
give glowing accounts Of the bravery with
which they faced arrest in the Bavarian
courts, the courage With which, in the name
Of the American Eagle, they deaed the
Teuton Judges to send them to their fort
resses of Ham, their triumphant aoquit.4 ii
of any design to awindle the emigrants,
and the thousands who are preparing to ac-
company them to America this year. Judg.
ing from the glorious accounts given by the
agents, We conclude that Michigan would
do as well to keep them at home, if they
are not in her wny.
