Pennsylvania railroad was Miss Amands
Hartman, Of Chicago. Miss Hartman
was the eldest daughter of Rev. DR.

to secure titles crippled by the FIRE and
not one to establish titles which did not
exist before the fire. He wants to avoid
the violent process of setting up title
on parole, and also wishes to see the ju-
dicial function of pronouncing upon the

missioners. The Senate yesterday voted
back the bill from the Governors hands
with the view of amending it.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-There was large
and fashionable attendance at the thea
ter last evening, Notwithstanding the
disagreeable and wintry weather. La
Pont des Soupirs was the piece presented
by the Aimee troupe. The opera is full
Of fine choruses. melodies and ludi-
crously comic stage play. AS Cath
erina," the Venetian maiden, Aimee was
brilliant in the extreme. Her finished
aud graceful style Of acting even in the
midst of the widest revelry, stamps her
as possessing great talent if not genius.
The Assassin's chorus, Sobbing chorus,
Bohemian duet, Gondoliers' chorus and
other musical gems we're listened to with
the greatest pleasure by the audience.
The Bridge of Signs is full of scenes
from Venetian life, that are made gro
tesque by the composer for the purpose
Of investing them with additional mu-
steal charms. Aimee, Noe, Duchesns,
Edgard, Julien, Oudin and other mem
bers of this excellent troupe performed
in manner that elected no little ap-
plause from the audience. AT the
matinee to-day Chinese extravaganza
entitled Fleur de The, by Lecocq. Aimee
will appear as the coquettish Caesar
inc" and Noe as "Ponsonnet," roles
that are peculiarly adapted to their style
of acting. Tonight the troupe will bid
US a musical farewell in Offenbach's
MASTERPIECE Les Brigands.

WAsHIxGroS, March Ex-senator
Schurz appeared yesterday as witness
before the Senate committee on the sale
Of arms. He testified as to the manner
in which be FIRST obtained information
about the sale of arms for the French
government to Remington. About a
week before the Christmas vacation a
copy Of letter from Remington to LIE
cesne was shown to him by member Of
Congress, the same as appeared in pre-
amble to Summers resolution. He did
not know Of his own knowledge how the
copy was obtained. On being asked to
give the name Of the member Of Con-
gress, Mr.. Schurz said he did not feel al
liberty to tell it, but thought the gentle
man might have no objection to doing
SO himself He could say, however, that
it was not Nc. Sumner. In reply to the
question whether be had any knowledge
of any officer connected with the gov.
eminent receiving money, directly or in.
directly, from the sale Of arms, witness
replied that good deal Of Information
could be procured by the committee in
the evidence. Mr.. Carpenter, who had
asked the question as to the person from
whom Mr.. Schnrz obtained the informa.
ton, said he would waive it for the pre-
sent. Schurz, in the course of his ex'
animation, said he did not obtain his in
formation from persons other than citi
zens Of the United States. The com
mittee then adjourned till Monday.
A general court martial has been or
dered to convene at Fort Whipple TO

SEPARATION from the White House, realizes
the danger, aud pleads in this wise:
In such a campaign why should any

fitted for the Presidential Office than the

supporters would be Democrats. In q

CHICKS TO rMMIaRATroN.

The causes of immigration TO this
country from the Old World are to es-
cape from oppression or persecution OF
some kind; to abandon an old, worn-ous
land where political and social chains
hang heavy on young limbs; to reach a
land where liberty exists and where a
boundless field is open for honest indus
try. For these reasons the hardy sons
of toll leave the etfete kingdoms of Eu-
rope and make their homes in this land
of ours, which is the asylum for the OPP
pressed and poorly paid working people
of the Old World. But when these i'm
migrants arrive here they too often find
relies of barbarism in the shape of OPP
preston and overwhelming taxes, hang
ing, like q nightmare, over the land-the
result of Radical misrule and plumber
ing partisan politicians, who, in the pres
ent state Of political morals, engage in
that spirit Of jobbery which has grown
aud been developed in times Of war and
great political excitement. The legiti-
mate result of all this can be found in
the statistics of immigration for
1871. These statistics show that
while the immense number of $780,
900 souls came into this county, yet, still
$1,000 left it, and the fact that great
per cent. of these were people who had
came out from the old countries is be-
You'd dispute. There is evidently a
renux movement, to considerable ex-
tent, in the matter of immigration, due
from Radical misrule-to the enor-
moas price of living here. The follow
ing tax on the clothes worn by immi-
grants, to say nothing Of the taxes on
other products quite as necessary to ex-
istence, dissipates the Ethiopian dream
INDUCED in by the man from the Old
World: Cloth, taxed sixty per cent; but
tons, forty per cent; braid, sixty per
cent; lining, sixty per cent; and pad
ding, one hundred per cent. Add to
this one hundred per cent. duty on raw
wool, fifty per cent. on the machinery
which spins it, and sixty per cent pro-
lection on the made-up fabric-and you
approach the position sustained by the
Rev. Sidney Smith, the English essayist,
who proves clearly that in England You
are GENEROUSLY taxed on the absolute
necessaries of life, from the time you
come into the world until you leave it in
a taxed coffin. All this checks immigra-
ton and the developments Of industry.
The State in the confederation Of States
known as the Union, which imposes the
lowest taxes, offers the greatest induce
ments and advantages to immigrants to
locate within its borders.

Patriot is the organ Of the Democracy
at the seat Of Government. We give
| place, as a matter Of national signih.
canoe, to the following excerpt from its
columns, aud which, we have no doubt,
will prove Of interest to our readers;
Some degree of impotence has been
manifested because time and place had
NOT vet been fixed for holding the Ma
tional Democratic Convention, and the
action of the committee charged with
that duty has been subjected to unjust
criticism. A little calm reflection will
satisfy any reasonable mind that the
national committee have not only acted
with wise discretion, but that any other
course than the one adopted, would have
been rash and embarrassing. The Gin
e;nnati Convention is called to meet two
months hence, and upon that body will
deyolye much OF the responsibility for
the success or failure OF large and pa
triotic policy, by which all liberal minded
men. who desire 70 see peace and frater-
nal relations re-establ;shed throughout
the Union, and good government re-
stored, may honestly unite to accomplish
those great objects.
All the present indications which are
daily confirmed by q pressure OF spon-
taneous sentiments seems to warrant the
belief that the nomination Of Judge
Davis will be adopted at Cincinnati.
The generous spirit which moved
many leading minds In 1868 TO seriously |
the policy Of presenting the
name of Chief Justice Chase as a Dem,
ocratic candidate, exists to-day in full
force. II victory is to be achieved and
effected by the concession
of a candidate only, there is no Demo
crat in this broad land who would not
renounce all claims 20 that
distinction, and accept the alternative as
a patriotic duty. The Democracy aim
ut grander results than mere possession
Of power. They have made greater sac
rifces for the Union than any required
oy the present emergency. The Liberal
Land Reformers and Dem
ocrats agree substantially upon the prin-
ciples of reform and change OF adj
The practical question now is, can
.hese elements be united tremendously,
and be made to cooperate efficiently.
That can only be answered by time.
Hence, we repeat, the national commit
zee have acted prudently in not fixing a
lime for holding our convention, or tax
ng any step in that direction. This is
he Judgment of the calmest aud most
minds in Congress, and 1t cor
with the policy of reserve
which our friends here have adopted since
he controversy opened between the
Presidents friends and his adverse

Mr.. Morton. Let us therefore hasten
