FRENCH MNIGRATI0N

II has been said that the French are on
unproliGc, and, therefore, a non-emigTating
people; but, whatever may be their natural
inclination, the late war will probably compel
a considerable exodus, especially from those
Departments that have borne tho brunt Of the
strife. Present devastation and prospective
burdens of taxation must render these dis
trcts "goOd places to go away FROM" and
there are indications that tho inhabitants
are preparing to act accordingly. We
may reasonably expect that the greater
number of immigrants will be attracted
htherward, and, in extending to them
a helping hand we may give better expression
to that sympathy which has already done SO
much in direct benefactiOn.
We learn that a movement in this di-
rect0n is now contemplated in our city,
1t is proposed to raise by subscrip-
ton sufficient fund to purchase o
large tract of land; to move q colony or colo
MES on to it, to loan the cOlOnists means to
make first improvements, and, If necessary,
sustain them until harvest; repayment of all
outlay, with interest, to be secured by lien
upon the lands. Such plan, successfully car
ried ont, might open the way for extern
sive and valuable accessions to our population.
The failure of tho first enterprise, On
the other hand, might go far to discourage
similar immigration. 1t is important, there
fore, that this undertaking should be wisely
managed. Much depends on the men chosen
to fill positions Of trust; honesty as well as
ability should be secured, as one rogue might
ruin the scheme. Location is also point to
be dscreetly considered, and on this we offer
a word of suggestion. The climatic conditions
should approach as nearly as may be to those
of France; and the aspects of nature should
favor tho profitable pursuit of in
dustries to which the immigrants are
accustomed, such as horticulture, espe-
cialIy vine-growing, sheep-husbandry, and
like occupations.
Our Judgment is that in Virginia OF
North Carolina such conditions may be
found as well as, if not better than
elsewhere; and having the further advantage
of being within tlirty-six hours of New-1ork
That tho immigrant could reach his homo
again by two weeks easy journey, would be
the best possible preventive of hone-sickness
Land can be had in these States-much OF ii
virgin soil-on navigablo waters or near lines
OF railroad as advantageously as anywhere In
the country. If the movement to favor French
immigration IL continued, one colony at least
may be settled in the region indicated.

TIE TNLTST STEW1RD.

II is commonly reported III this city that
Capt. McClaTy, who has just been transferred
from tine Eighth to the Twenty ghth Police
Precinct, was on friendly if not on corrupt
terms with the pancl-thieyes, pimps, and keno
gamblers whose operations were exposed in
TIE TRIBUNE last Thursday. Ii is undeniable
that the grosscst violations OF decency and
The boldest defiance of the law went on night
after night in the district he was paid to pro-
tect that crime in this district hardly affected
concealment; and that no effort was made to
check it, when word from Capt McClary would
have forced the worst of the establishments
to close their doors. Under these circum-
stances it is natural that the delinquent
official should be charged with taking money
from the thieves as the price of silence.
1t is also natural that report should
have obtained general currency that the
Commissioners had resolved to dis
miss him the force When, in consequence
of TIE TRIBUNE's exposures the Superin-
tendent planned o Simultaneous descent upon
all the principal keno-dens in the city, this
same Capt McClary with the sentence Of dis
missal hanging over his head, moved just q
quarter of an hour too soon, and thus gave
more than half the rOgues an opportunity to
escape. True, he made as many seizures as he
could in his own precinct; but in some parts
of the city the movement, through his disobe-
dience, was entirely frustrated. 1t is impossi-
bic not to be reminded here Of the parable of
the unjust steward who enabled the mammOn
Of unrighteousness to put of half their just
debts, SO that when the stewardship was taken
away from him they might receive him into
their houses.
1t seems clear enough that Capt. McClary
ought to have been dismissed either for cor
ruption or ineffciency. The Commissioners,
however, have merely transferred him to an
other part of the city-given mild hint
of rebuke when they ought to have imposed
the severest punishment in their power. by
this course they have done more than even
McClary himself TO strengthen the hands OF
the thieves. They have given fair notice to
the police that vigilance and honesty are not
demanded Of the force They have instructed

Since the robbery of Mr.. Twombys seat,
which was initiated 10y the Tammaly King IN
this City, was cOnsummatcd by a party vote
in the Assembly, we have given little heed to
Legislative dOings at Albany. There are many
ignorant persons living within sight of our
City's steeples, but not one SO ignorant as not
TO know, if he reads the news, that Mr..
Twombly is the member elect from our With
district, and that the substitution of Mr..
Carey is fraud so impudent and inexcusable
that even The World, which champions the
Ku-Klux murderers throughout the South, by
cOncealng their crimes when it cannot excuse
them, and pretends to think that Georgia and
Louisiana were fairly carried for Seymour and
Blair, cannot be cOaxed nor shamed into JUS
tifying the theft of Mr.. Twombly's seat. 1t is
evidently outstanding whatever relics of repu-
tatiOn for honesty and fairness it may have
for the benefit Of its Southern cOmpatriots
and allies.
Mr.. Tweed having thus secured a clear
Democratic majority in either House, we have
hoped that he would have no use for Repub-
Icans and would decline to buy any. But
this reasonable expectation was bafled last
week by the strange recusancy of the Orange
district Senator, Graham by name, who took
cover and remained for some days invisible,
though fully aware that his vote was wanted
to pass the bill authorizing Tweed, Sweeny,
Connolly, and Oakley Hall, annually to decide
how much money should henceforth be paid
by our taxpayers, and what should be done
with it. Graham professed to have conscien-
tons scruples as to voting for this bill and
this was so funny that both Houses and the
Lobby burst into hors laugh 80 vociferous
"a to shake the walls of the old Capitol.
That Senator should desert his seat and hide,
because bill was coming up that he consid-
cred Objectionable, was somewhat novel dis
play of fidelity to conviction. We presume no

The Tennessee, with the Santo Domingo
n,issioncrs ON board, reached Key West
Yesterday, and may be expected here in a iorI-
night. The reports have not yet peeh ooir-
pleted. but enough is known of them TO war,
rant tho assertion that al strongly recommend
the annexation of the Island. In addition to
the sum of S1,5OO,OOO hitherto asked, Baez has
submitted further claim of 100000 as indem-
nifty for personal losses from somo source OF
other not named. AS it is certain his losses
cannot have proceeded from the government
which has been employing its chips of war
in protecting him, and its ministers and
admirals in intimidating his enemies, the
claim can hardly be said to be founded in
equity. Besides, we have been accustomed to
think that annexation is a boon to be sought
by the persons to be annexed, and that Santo
Domingo should be grateful to get in on any
terms. Recent experience in annexation by
purchase does not tempt US to further indul-
gence i'll that direction.

The journals OF this City seldom speak with
one voice. when they do, thoy can hardly be
wrong. And there is a general and sponta-
neous assertion by them that chr Police au-
thorities cannot afford to stop their raid on
the blackegs who infest our City at the point
where they have rested. Having pulled the
small fry who operate in " Keno" they must
give the "bg bugs" who deal faro and play
roulette turn, and do it in earnest. A sham
raid will throw dust in no ones eyes. The
Chief knows where at least one hundred
games are running every night, fleeing

sed that if THE TRIBUNE expose them

but transfdr from one district to another, With

The declaration of leading Cincinnati Re-
publcans in favor of Universal Amnesty is
movement of significance. The gentlemen
concerned are among the leading thinkers OF
the Republican party in the West, and where
they point the way many thousands are ready
to follow. Whatever may be said of the pres
ent unsettled and alarming condition OF AFFAIRS
at the South, there can be no doubt or one VI
the lessons it teaches. The time FOR hoidlhs
a large and intelligent class of citizens unuer
the ban has passed, and persistence in the
effort must lead to evil, and only evil, and

Some Of the Democrats in Congress reject
the idea that the Ku-Klux investigation Is to
have anything of a partisan character, and
yet refuse to accept the proposition to publish
the results of the investigation from time to
time as it proceeds. A few claim that the
villains who do these deeds Of darkness are
negroes and Republicans, and yet, strangely
enough, decline to have the facts put before
the country. This Inconsistency has a mean
ing not difficult to divine. They know in their
own hearts that the 5000 victims Of Ku-Klux
ottrages at the South have been Republicans;
they know that every man admitted to the
secret organization is a member Of the Demo-
cratic party, and will vote for any ticket
it dominates and that, indeed, the Ku-
Klux Khan is simply Southern Democratic
political organization, which does not hesitate
TO intimidate and murder with as little con-
science as Northern organizations repeat"
falsely register and "stuff" ballOt-boyes. The
House, in adopting tie Senate resolution OF
inquiry, threw ont the clause which author
lied the publication of reports at any time,
and the Senate yesterday attempted to restore
it, but failed. The appointment of the Con-
mittee we have held to be foolish, because 1t
is tardy action in an emergency which re-
quires decision; but the proposition that the
results of the investigation shall be kept
secret robs it of even the very little prac-
teal value the scheme originally had.
