Tile statistics OF immigration furnish, IN their
varying record from year to year, an Interesting
view Of the multlform growth OF our country.
During the twelve months OF 1870 the nnMoer oil
immigrants arriving at the port OF New 1orS'
where the greatest influx is received, was all.lso
or more than enough to fully populate some Oh our
smaller States. Ireland alone sent more than one
fourth OF these, and Germany more tnau one-tnlrd,
and the immigration from the whole OF G;eat
Britain aggregates nearly one.halt OF the entire
number. From France we received only twenty
two hundred, while Scandinavia contributed NJ
teen thousand. Russia, Switzerland and Holland
send about I've hundred each while far on Austria
liza contributes nine anil the recent advantages De-
slowed upon gentlemen OF color have enticed
only eleven from Africa. The decrease in immi-
grafton from last year Is less than fifty thousand
not egualng what was expected on account OIL
the war. Germany, OF course, shows tile greatest
falling or; but the largest proportional loss mas
been from the Scandinavian States, caused oy
the Interference OF the war with the lines OF
steamers which have been their principal means
of transportation. The Scandinavian 1mmigra-
ton promises to surpass that of either Ireland OF
Germany in the future, and Is elso among the
best rlr This country to receive.

that Kerrlgan engaged to obtai :, under false
pretences money for himself and others, whom
he represented as having been engaged In con-

remember most perfectly is that you refused
to pay from the public funds an account which
had been fabricated upon representations Of
irresponsible persons, and that you disclaimed
any connection with Colonel Baker, or his
mining operations, OF. responsibility for their
pecnniary or other troubles. Kerrigan ap-
peared an adroit, persistent man, anu made
various propositions and statements, and

The letter and the enclosures satisfied US
that the charges made by Colonel Kerrlgan,
so far as Governor Scott was concerned,
were wholly false, and, disturbed as was the
popular mind, We determined to suppress
them. 1t is no longer practicable to ignore
these charges, however false, and we think it
due to Governor Scott that the statements OF
Colonel Kerrigan and Mr.. Hoggett should be
put before the public, at once, together with
his own emphatic denial of their truth. We
say uuhesitatingly that we do not believe
that Governor Scott ever contemplated o
plan of assassination so atrocious in itself
and so certain OF detection. In fact, we are
asked to believe that Governor Scott gave to
party OF New York roughs the power to
send him to the penitentiary, or the galloWs,
deemed insufficient Work of this kind,
if done at oil, were more safely done by the
jail-birds who hang on the tanks Of South
ern Radicalism. OF the minor inaccuracies
in the statements OF Colonel Kerrigan and
Mr.. Hoggett we take no notice. These
might be accidental But we again affirm
our belief that the general allegations, relat-
ing to Governor Scott, are substantially false.
There may be grain of truth in the mass
OF misstatements; but then
"a lie that Is all a lie may be met with and
fought outright.
