The population Of the States at the
commencement of the Revolu tionary war
has generally been estimated at O0O, 900,
and since that period 7 1903, sos foreigners
have come to this country. As to nation
ality, the statistics show clearly that the
English speaking races are in the major
irty and have been so from the beginning.
Of the whole total no less than 1857 $50
came from the British Isles, and 2S4, ,49l
from British America, making an aggre-
gate Of 4, l42, 24l, which, with the ascen-
dency of the English language and instruc-
tions. since from this prolific germ has
sprung an increase more than sufficient
to swallow up all other races 1t is
computed that the money value of each
immi grant to this country is $500, at
which rate the whole total added to our
national wealth has been $2S5, 900, 900
during the year 1870, and Sc, 243, $780, 800
from the start, This is estimating these
people as producers. That this is no idle
conjecture may be seen in the prodigious
progress the country has made in every
respect, exceeding in rapidity any known
instance. The power of development is
beyond all question very great, To illus
trate the influence Of this immigration
upon the country, We will give some Of tho
details Of the occupations of these immi-
grants. Oflaborers there were 2, 299, 8l6
These are the people who have built our
railroads and our canals and who have
supplied the basis of our progress, and the
most consoling reflection is that they are
still pouring in increasing numbers. Next
to these in Importance were 976.579 far
mers, attracted by the cheapness and
unlimited supply of land, and who have
fed the mighty stream of American agri-
culture.

Before the Naval Investigation Com
mittee, George II. Corless, of the Corless
Steam Engine Company, testified that
the New York tSua's statements were de-
Gberate and complete lies, that he had en-
ployed no counsil or middle men nor paid
nor promised money to any oue in the
Navy Department, nor asked Mr. Robe
sons assistance in getting an approp1ia-
ton.
This is what the Harper's Weekly says:
The party which by its subserviency in
slavery disgraced the honor OF the Amer
lean name and by its tacit sympathy with
the rebellion aided the blow aimed at the
national life which sowed the seeds of
decentralization in our politics which all
good citizens deplore which would have
reorganized the Union with the heel Of
the rebel States upon the negro. which
for years declared reconstruction uncon
stitutional and pronounced for virtual re-
pudiation ); the party which for genera
iton have pandercd to ignorance and re-
sisted equal rights; which reviled Gen.
Grant in the field as a butcher and de-
nounced him in his cabinet as corrupt
now in the sure prospect of his renom-
ination and reelection, declares that it
has no chance Of success whatever under
its own name.
