writ en- d England on. the subject OF his
nj SION as Agent OF fine Jefferson County
In niaralion Society. This effort TO pro-
cure European Immigration 10 our State
is the frst systematic and welI-laid plan
which has been tried, except in the case
Of Mr.. Barglund, of Water Valley, who
confined his operations 10 the transpo Ia
ton of people from his native Scandna-
Wan country. The other enterprises
were directed 70 the Northern cities, and
served rather as drains for an Idle, va2a-
bond class who were imposed on us oy
Labor Agencies at so much per head,
than as means OF procuring the kind OF
accesssons 10 our population which are
so much needed. Nevertheless, even in
this hap-haaard business, we know Of
several instances of mesitorious settlers
who have engaged in the occupations OF
the country, and are doing welI-two Of
them as industrious, thrifty farmers
The enterprise Of the Jefferson County
Society could not have been confided +
better hands than Col. Tortey. H : y
gentleman Of large experience in lat

practical ideas on every subject io which
he devotes his attention. TO ri, enter
prise he has devoted the last two yeat-,
aod having laid he gr und-work, has
commenced to pct hi plan into execu-
ton, AZ persons eouceIaed with him,
should bear in mind the fact that fail
IRE at his hands will be a failure indeed.
The past experiments, while they have
resulted in loss to most persons who have
undertaken them, have, however. served
the good pus pose OF imparting informa-
ton which may he turned to good ac-

Human Life in New York City.
Democrats X. Y. SpecIaI1

A careful examination of the city re-
cords shows that in the past three years
there have been 139 murders and homi-
cides, and only 81 of the perpetrators
have ever been brought to trial. Forty
four of these have been convicted but two
of them have been awarded new trials.
two have been executed, and four senten-
ced to death, but, are awaiting appeals.
On sixteen cases the records disappeared
and nobody knows what has become of
the prisoners. The boast is openly made
by criminal lawyers that they can save a
murderer from punishment provided he

a Gseneg'1" Proposition by Scna-
Es3T simmer

Immediately after the Senate conven-
ed, Mr. Sumner introduced a bill to strike
ftom the United States flags and the Ar
my Register all records of battles f ught
between the North and South The me-
tive is 10 erase the bitter memories of the
strife. As the New York Herald oppor-
timely asks why keep alive the hatred
that was engendered by the civil war
when the combatants are and must con
tinue to be one people2 To do SO would
be unchristian-like, ungenerous and
highly impolitie.
The following is Mr. Summers resolu-
ton:
Whereas, the national unity and good
will among fellow citizens can be assure ed
only through Oblivion Of past differences
ana II Is contrary t. Tire usaees of civiliz-
ed nations to perpetuate the memory of civ
ii war
Therefore. be it euaotod sc. That the
names OF battles with fellow citizens shall
not be continued IN tbe army register or
placed on the reg imeGtal c0ors OF the L nj
ted States.

In JoShua's indictment against Col.
Lamar, the most terrific couat is that he
has been elected to place that belonged
to a younger man. Now, i seems that
if the boys are satisfied there is
no occasion for Josh 10 howl about it
Besides, if the old fellow is so much
concerned about the young men having
official position, why don't he surrender
the Attorney Generalship 10 one of that
class We viii vouch that if one of them
had instructed the Auditor not to issue
Eighty odd thousand dollars of Warrants
on the treasury on the ground that they
were unconstitutional, and consequently
a fraud on the people, he would have
stuck to it even if piled with the most
persuasive arguments.

HANCOCK CoUSTY.-The Handsboro
Democrat says that Hancock will profit
by the result Of the late election, and she
will, in future, be found true to the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party We
gave in our last issue, says the Democrat,
some of the reasons why Hancock, in a
measure, was unsuccessful, but in anoth-
er election the rings and policy men,
viii have no axes TO grind, therefore we
are certain of different results.

Another reason given by the Liberal
and Democratic journals for the lat
named Change is, that tao parry n power
has an immense advantage ia these p~c-
llmlnary contests, because it car coneen-
trate Its forces and means with terrific +
feet upon so contracted field. This aroiI-
ment Was urged again and again prior "a

that when the contending hosts met HI
the grand conflict these partial advan-
tages would be unavailing.

The message discusses Southern affairs,
as { lis author felt that he was treadng

making q mistep. His words on fiat
subject were evidently dictated in the
Tea .ing s.rings OF his partisan couusellors.
What he says amounts 10 very little and
tie country viii have TO look to his acts
rather than to his words for definition
Of his future policy. His justification Of
the vadictive hu-kIux prosecutions was
natural. 1t was not expected that he
would confess his own wrong-doing and
become a witness against his party. His
admission, however, that great ma
jority" Of the people on whom these
wrongs have been inflicted are peaceable
and law-abiding, encourages the hope
that after more than seven years of the
most cruel and vindictive prosecutions
they will be let alone by the dominant
party in future
