This is one Of the Erckmann- Chdt'9an
novels, and is written in the same charm
ing style of purity and simplicity, which
makes their works so universally popular.
1t is history of the late Franco-G German
war, in the guisc of fiction, and the causes
which led to the downfall of the French
Empire are simply yet wildly portrayed
in the adventures, sulierings, mcditations
and discussions of shrewed old peasant
and his neishbors, whose homes are
in the beautiful but Inflated pro-
yinces of Alsace and Lorraine. 1t
is strongly anti Imperial, and enthusiastic
cally in favor of the Republic, i'll which it
sees the only hope for" La belle France"
1t will be welcomed and eagerly read by
all who feel any interest in the future OF
that great, but at present unfortunate, coun-
try. The volume comes to us through }.

THE New York World, of yesterday,
says that the nomination Of Greeley by the
Democrats at Baltimore would only make
certain the election of General Grant, and
this seems to be the opinion generally
among the Democratic journals Of the
North and West. In the meantime, the
Conservative bantams of the South keep
up vigorous growing for Greeley. The
World ends its warning to the Democrats
of the South, by referring to the
following significant flight of the beetles
of Switzerland and hopes that such
journals as the Dispatch and Wing are not
bent on the particular form of suicide named !:
"The beetles of North Switzerland, by
universal reclamation, one May twilight
carried it that they would fly over the Lake
Of Tug; and flew short, to the great dsfg-
urement Of the Lake Of zug, over some
leagues square, and to the close of the
cockchafer Democracy for that year."

THE game which the Democratic leaders
those who steadily manipulate the party
machinery-are playing with Mr.. Greeley
and the other Cincinnati innocents, is a
most adroit as well as most difficult one to
play successfully. For among forty mill
lions of people, it is no easy matter to pit
brains against brains in such a way that the
ingenuity and craft of a few men shall
come out ahead of everybody else. When
these Democratic manipulators, therefore,
seek to play the part of a T" decoy" to the
Cincinnati ducks, and lure them into UNI
suspecting range, they run. the risk OF
bringing their own domestic birds under
fire, since the decoy, to be successful, must
be held out to all the innocent ducks in the
| field.
For the present, at least, good many
more Democratic than Republican ducks
have been ured into the unsuspecting trap,
50 that a broadside from Baltimore would
bag anything but Republican game" IL
the sense in which that term may be uset
by political sportsmen. 1t looks, in fact
as though the "decoy" was in more DANCE
than the "gamo," and that the trap Sc
by these adroit political tricksters vii
prove like the engineers padrd-a thing t
hoist its own inventors in the end. s

WE have no desire to place Gen. Beau
regard in false position. If he goes for
Greeley, as the Dispatch asserts, it only
shows that the Democratic "decoy-duck"
has drawn in more "gameo than the adroit
managers of that movement IN the Demo-
cratic party intended, and that the "Cincln-
natl innocents" are not the only persons
who are being fooled to the top of their
bent, in this effort to "diyide the Republic
can party and then conquer"
Greeley makes it the first and paramount
plank in his "Liberal' platform that the
rights of the colored citizen-all the rights
and franchises secured to him by the four
teenth and fifteenth northumberland
and shall be enforced, guaranteed, and
maintained by Federal authority torecer-
more. lie epitomizes this plank OF the
Cincinnati platform as the one thing before
all others imperatiycly demanded OF the
men who give him their support. All ku-

THE New York Eapress is of opinion
that not less than half million of DEM
ocratic voters will act regardless of any
convention, though against Grant, that
is, they will go for Greeley. Taking the
statement to be correct, the number is too
small to do Greeley any good, and large
enough to be fatal to the Democratic party.
And still the Express has hankering after
Greeley, as smart thing to do.

GENERAL AMNESTY

About all the political capital there IS IN
the Cincinnati movement, lies cooped up
i, general amnesty" This is the plank
to which Mr.. Greeley hugs with all the
serenity and complacency OF drowning
man at sea, and manilestly relies upon 1t
as his only hope of political rescue. But
we have all along claimed that the record oil
General Grant, in regard to general am
pestv. was far more consistent, and should
be more satisfactory to the South, than any
that could be dug up out of the files oil the
Tribune, if its columns were ransackea
for the whole six months Of the Presi-
Dental canvass. In proof of this, we take
the following from the annual message OF
the President, in December, 1871:
"More than six years having elapsed
since the last hostile gun was fired between
the armies then arrayed, the one for the

EMIGRATION from Europe to this coun-

this year. Various influences promote
this, among which is desire to avoid mill
tary service. The number Of emigrants
passing through Bremen alone from the LIST
to the 31st of March, was 9,734; 1902 Of
these were booked for New York. The
total for the first three months is 1884
conveyed in "a vessels, as against 1929 in
% vessels in the corresponding period of
1871. A large emigration is also setting
in from England and Scotland, and many
of this class have an eye to Virginia as Of
fering the best climate, and Inducements
every way, for permanent settlement.
When President Grants special mes
sage to the Senate and the House of Rep
resentatives, bearing upon the subject OF
immigration becomes known abroad it will
increase the exodus. The proposed help
and protection to be extended to the pco.
pie on their landing in this country will be
to them great inducement to come hither
and especially from the north of Europe
from whence our best immigrants come.
