The tornado in Paris has proved
how sensible the government was in
going to Versailles with its open parks
and courts, instead Of venturlng to
Paris: or rather, how insane il would
have been to place themselves where
they would have been bcsies"d, bar
ricadcd. stormcd, dissolved, and given

who puts his head in the lion = mouth
is wise in comparison.

IMMIGRATION.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
MANCHESTER, Tenn, March %, 1871.
Pleased to notice the decided interest
you aye taking through the columns of
your excellent paper towards the encour-
agement of immigration; delighted to see
the live men of your city taking immedi-
ate steps in the way of organizing an I'm
migration Association, which contem-
plate active work; also to see our respec-
ted and whOle-souled friend, ex-Mayor
Matt. W. Brown, as travelling agent, he
having honored US with q call on last
Wednesday. l find from his words and
actions, that he decidedly means straight
forward business, and have no hesitation
in saying that he is just the man to keep
the wheel rolling, knowing from
past acquaintance that his attain
ments are good, and we'll qualify
him TO fill the position of
general agent. No man in my estimation
is more competent for that Office than he,
for he has the ambition, tact and perse-
verance to accomplish whatever he may
engage in.
trust that their efforts in the immigra-
ton cause will be cordially seconded by
the people of the State, the leading fea.
ture of it being cooperation. 1 believe
it will unite more interests in the encour-
agement of immigration than any project
yet proposed.
Increased facilities will induce increased
immigration, aud the more industrious
class of the agricultural and manufactur-
ing laborers of the North will first avail
themselves of reaching our lands, and by
their intelligent labor, cause our valleys
10 blossom, our mountains to disgOrge their
hidden wealth. We hope soon to see our
country filled with those who are indus
trious, intelligent and working men.
With an undulatipg surface, fine soil,
well adopted to grains and fruits, abund-
ance of timber, plenty of soft spring
water, cheapness of land, etc., think we
can offer better inducements than any
other portion of the State. Land at pre-
sent is plenty and cheap. Many Northern
settlers have already chosen this country
for their homes, and they find prevalent
Union sentiment prevailing, political
views being 10 obstacle in the way of
these who may settle here. Tnere is
plenty Of room for more Northern men,
and we cordially invite them to come,
bring their families, means and energy,
and we will insure them good homes.
The water power is abundant, and the
| Law of the land renders it excellent, for
the erection of mills and factories, and
think at some future day, our town will
rank among the first in the South, as a
manufacturing centre. F. FLEMING.

Guesses about tine aigh Commission
WAsHINeToN, March 25.-There was
no meeting of the Joint High Commits
sion yesterday, the members being other
wise engaged The Commission have
not got beyond the fishery question, and
there does not seem to be much prospect
of a satisfactory adjustment of the
points in dispute between the Canadians
and the New England fishermen.
II is understood the memorial OF Col.
John Warren, who claims redress for his
Imprisonment in England, will be brought
up for consideration whenever an oppor-
|itunity offers.
Ali claimants will receive timely public
notice, should any arrangement be made
for the adjustment of their claims, as to
what may be required from them in the
way of additional papers and testimony.
New York, March 25.-The Times
Washington correspondent telegraphs
that reports of the proceedings of the
Joint High Commission are without any
basis whatever so far as details are con-
cerned, for it is next to impossible that
anything should be disclosed. All that is
known now is that discussions have pro-
crossed SO far that it will probably be de-
termiped within the next week or ten
days whether there is any possibility of
arriving at any satisfactory conclusions.
If the Commission sits beyond the first
week in April it will be strong evidence
that an adjustment of pending questions
Is probable. oh
The Coming Ku.Klux Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The House
Select Committee of Nine in charge of
the Presidents message on Southern out
RACES held a brief meeting yesterday
morning but owing to the absence of two
members came to no conclusions and ad-
journed until Monday morning at 10
o'clock.
Mr.. Thomas, of South Carolina, will
propose bill combining universal am
nesty with the measures for the repression
of outrsges, but in the present temper of
the House this combination is not likely
to succeed.
Very probably one featureof the new
bill will be provision for an internal rev.
enue police force applicable to all States
but necessary in the South only, to enable
assessors and collectors to arm posse
comitatus for self-defence and the en-
forcement of the laws.
