Our Latest Emigration Statistics.

According to the forthcoming annual report
of tho Commissioners of Emigration, a
synopsis of which was published in Fridays
HERALD, there is much to bring satisfaction
to every American heart. Our country seems
to be the receiving depot of the entire world;
but the consignments at Castle Garden, accord
ing to the returns Of last year, exceed the
most sanguine expectations of the most invet
crate Fourth Of July orator. There is, first of
all, an excess Of forty-fve thousand alien pas
sengers over the previous year, and an excess
Of over seventy-Hve thousand beyond other
years. The Germans are still in the majority
the sons and daughters of Albion have increased
nearly forty per cent, and the children Of the
Emerald Isle have come as thick and fast as
the traditional ''leaves Of Vallambrosa." The
health of the arriving emigrants is better
than ever, because, as the report states,
steamers have been generally substituted for
sailing vessels Regarding the points of des-
tination, New York, of course, takes the lead
in a numerical point Of view, and the West
claims most of the rest. We are glad to hear
of the complete arrangements (police excepted)
made by the Commissioners at Castle Gar
den. They have erected new buildings
for the convenience Of emigrants, and;
to Judge from their own statements,
they have devored all their attention and ener-
gies to new comers. The police are said to be
derelict in their duty, and 1t is recommended
that the force be increased and placed directly
under the control of the Castle Garden autho
rites The report gives favorable idea of
the condition Of Wards Island, which rec ent
events would seem to disprove. There is one
thing about this report to feel proud Of, and
that is the immense increase Of emigration.
We want more people, especially skilled me-
chanics, for they will find here large tract of
undeveloped country, rich in natural
resources. No matter what the amount
of exodus from Europe may be, there
is room enough for all in America,
and our boundless prairies, rich mining dis
tricts and illimitable water power can supply
not only competency, but even wealth, for
years to come to emigrants from all quarters
of the world The more the merrier; and the
larger the increase of our population the
greater the facilities for developing our coun-
try and clearing off our public debt. It is a
boast honestly made, and ono which can be
proven, and no other country in the world can
say the same. Therefore we hail the increase
of emigration as positive boon, and stretch
out our arms in welcome to the other nations
of the earth to help us to bring forth the untold
treasures heretofore hidden in our country.

the statements made by them, and from
such as could be elected from the proprie-

arrival at the St. Nicholas was noticed in
the Herald of Sunday morning, and who
came to this city on business connected
with the railways of which he is president,
went to a downtown bank, yesterday
where he was engaged for some time in
the transaction OF certain financial opera
tions connected with the roads he repre-
sents. He then returned to the hotel and
repaired to his room, where he remained
for short time, and afterward took car :
riage to visit some friends. A few moments
after he left well dressed man appeared
in the hall, near Mr.. joys room, and
requested the chambermaid to open the
door and admit him, as his friend Mr.. JOY.
had left package for him. She innocent
ly did as he desired and he soon came out
with small bundle, and, thanking her,
left.
On his return Mr.. Joy discovered that
800, 900 worth of bonds which he had
carelessly left on table had disappeared
and he Immediately repaired to the police
headquarters and notified the detectives.
The bonds of 81 900 each were of the
Chicago and Iowa railroad, state of Illi-
nois, and endorsed, Farmers loan and
Trust Company of New York. They are
issued from the road of whrch Mr.. Joy is
president, and are the only ones which
can be thrown upon the market at the
present moment, and would, of course, be
easily detected in consequence Aside from
this, the bonds are registered, and the
loser being the signer of them they will
not be paid without great scrutiny (if at
all, under the circumstances into the

THE ELECTIONS.

The great political battle of November,
1870, ended on Tuesday last, and was the
most peaceful and quiet election held for
many years. One hundred and thirty
three members of Congress were chosen in
twenty States of the Union, deciding the
political status Of the Forty Con-
gress which convenes next month.
Louisiana and Arkansas voted on Mon
day, and on Tuesday Delaware voted for
Governor. one member of Congress, mem
mers of the Legislature and local officers,
Maryland for five Congressman, Virginia
for nine members of Congress and local
/ officers, New York, Missouri, Alabama,
Michigan, Nevada, Kansas, Massachusetts,
and Tennessee for Governor and Congress
men, New Jersey, Florida, Illinois, Ken
tucky, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Rhode
Island for Congressman and local officers.
The election in Arkansas was for Legis-
ture and three members of Congress. The
hass Aeeisiasuio contaiheu ohc eihooia' III
House and one in the Senate. The Legis-
aature elected on Monday have to choose
U. s. Senator. Louisiana voted for
members of Congress and Legislature,
the Legislature to elect U. S. Senator
and to act on four proposed constitutional
amendments. The States elected an ag-
gregate of one hundred and thirty thee
congressman, and are represented in the
Middletown transcript., 1870-11-12

The Democrats have made large gains
everywhere except in New Jersey, where
they have lost one Congressman and the
Legislature and consequently a United
Senator. In Delaware the Democrats
have elected their State Ticket by about
$500 majonty; and the Legislature is
entirely Democratic. The Democratic
majority in New Castle County is 500 for
Sheriff and from 81 to 1872 on the rest of
the ticket. Kent county 700 Democratic
and Sussex county 1900 Democratic.
The Democrats have gained four Con-
gressmen in New York, and probably four
in Illinois, five in Tennessee, one in Wis
'consin and one in Michigan, one in Ala
bama, two in Arkansas. Further returns
will show more gains of Congressman,
. and the Republicans will not have more
than eleven majority in the next Congress.
The Democracy have not only gained a
large number of Congressman, but it ap-
pears now that three and probably four Of
the States which have hitherto been under
Radical control have followed the exam
pie of West Virginia and wheeled into the
Democratic line. The Democrats of Mary
land, with 36. 000negro votes to contend
with, have swept everything, electing all
Of their Congressman (fve) and with a
majority in the State of $4,000. New
York has gone Democratic by 35. 900 ma.
jority, and the Legislature is Democratic
rs before. Nevada, for the first time since
its organization as State, has beencarried
by the Democrats. The Radicals conced,
the election--of Bradley (Democrat) fol
Governor, though they still claim the Con
gresham.
The indications are that Arkansas ha,

Lindsay for Governor, with three Demo

A CLEAN SWEEP. Maryland has made
clean sweep of it, electing all five of the
Democratic Congressman by handsome
majorities The Republicans were con-
fident of carrying the lst, 4th and 9th dis
tricts, but the negroes, the marshals, and
the military, were to much for the people
to put up with, and many an honest repub-
lican vote was cast for the Democratic can
didates. White men are determined to
remain masters of this country, and the
attempt to drag them down to level with
the negroes has recoiled upon the heads
of its authors. The negroes in Maryland
and Delaware were relied upon to wrest
both these States from the hands of the
Democrats, but the effort has been fruit
less. Will the Radical leaders learn q
lesson from these results, or will they,
with Sumner at their head, try more
stringent measures still, and pass his in
famous bill now pending in the U. S
Senate? We shall see. Negroes and SOL
diers are not the cards to win, as the late
elections have proved. The Democrats
know trick worth two of that.

A party of unprincipled white men were
sent down from Wilmington to Blackbird
on Tuesday last, for the purpose of steal
ing the ballot-box. A timely letter, how
ever, from Jesse Sharp, Esq. to Samuel
Townsend, Esq. apprised the Democrats
of the fact and put them ON their guard.
The party was waited upon by the Demo-
Gratis, and invited to leave as soon as pos
sible, which they did, running their horses
as they went. This proceeding shows what
desperate straight the Radical party was
in, and to what mean and contemplate
tricks they would stoop to gain power.
The Wilmington Gazette says:-
The Radicals of this city driven to the
depths of infuriated despair, left no device
known to rascality and villany untried to
obtain success in this county. Not con-
tent with negro riots, with voting negro
minors who could not give their ages up
on oath, and dragging negro repeaters
from poll to poll and hundred to hundred,
they imported tits said abou ttpo hundred
there's, pickpochets and ru6ians from
Philadelphia to assist their nefarious
schemes. The greater part of these
wretches were distributed and concealed
in various quarters of the city, with the
intent to vote and then repeat them in the
different wards. About 40 succeeded in
the villany before detection, and the rest
were nrevented in the Democratic wards
by the election officers apprised of the
scheme. Twelve were despatched to ST..
Georges, Appoquinimink and Red Lion
Hundreds with the instructions to attack
the polls and seize the ballot-boxes. A
timely warning sent ahead, however, nip
ped this conspiracy in the bud, and the
roughs were unaccountably allowed to re-
turn to Wilmington unharmed by justly
indignant people.

THE WAR NEWS,

BY data furnished by an American cor
respondent at Versailles, it would appear
that the military status of the French is
far from hopeless, while the situation of
the Prussians is not surety for the sue
cess of their demands. According to this
exhibit, Paris, in the first place is i'm
pregnable, and is fully supplied with two
months provisions, while Gen. Trochu
has $50, 900 men fit for offensive service
in the field. Then, outside of Paris. there
are the armies of the Loire, 100, 900
strong, under Palladin; of the west 100. :
600 strong, under Keratry; of the Rhone,
110,0 strong. under Michel; of central
France, 10000, under Triphant; of the
north, 65, 600, under Bourbaki; and of
the Vosges, $4,000, making total of
$50, 900 men, all well armed, and fully
supplied with everything needful, to say
nothing of the numerous bands of Franc
tireurs and sharpshooters operating in an
independent fashion. On the other hand
the Prussians who are besieging Paris ire
charged with large daily sick list; their
recruiting power is said to be at halt,
their last recruits being nearly'all boys un-
der 10 years of age. In spite of these
and other disadvantages, however, the
Prussian armies continue to act vigorously
in the interior, but if the foregoing figures
are not merely an idle boast, it will be
simply wonderful if the French have not
the better bargain before the last of De-
cember
There is no further intelligence con-
cerning the general engagement near

As it is not mentioned in the dispatches
from either side, it is possible that the re-
port originated from the minor engage

which the Prussians were repulsed.

The French losses are said to have beer

capture of several Prussian camps.
