II, Mr E.Etor ofhe Commercial:
Will you allow me to ask the Editor of the
Gas,iic through your paper, at what college MIR.
C. W. Wright graduated, or even entoIed as a
student 1t may not be very important where
or how he was educated, and probably the inquiry
would never have been made, but for the mis-
concentrations of the Gazette.
II il better to be truthful = in politics AZ in
every thing else.
MI Wnghts father is Jerseyman by birth,
anl went to Misborough to attend to furnace
III which his father, who still resided in New Jer-
-py had AN interest. There, Mr. @. W. Wright
was born and raised, and with the exception of
about six months in a school-not College - al
Princeton received his exceedingly limited educa-
ton 1t could not have been otherwise than very
limited for there never was a iifth-rate school
there and it is said none at which the English
language could be taught. Mr. O. W. Wright,
therefore, is not man of learning, or ability,
u0r has he any parliamentary experience what
ever. and the Editor of the Gdzetie shools very
vide of tho mark in his praises of him.
A DEMoCRAT.

and hot with ex-senator salisbury. Perhaps

Emigration from Germany.

Next 20 the expulsion of the Jesuits,
the subject most discussed IN Germany
Just now is the necessity of reducing
the flow of emigration TO the United
States. The vast increase of emigra-
ton, this year, seems to have awaken
ed the Government to the realization
of its loss, and the cue is given 60 the
semi-official and conservative press
to raise the cry OF alarm. The Cross
Gazette fills its columns with doleful
accounts from various districts, where
villages have been completely re-
duced by the american fever, y
and asks, "why does not the state
levy an emigration taxi Let there be
a tax of 80 thalers per head for every
adult" In similar strains large num-
Der of journals are daily uttering their
grief over the prevailing emigration
fever, and Bismarck's organ joins in
the complaint, though it lays the fault
on emigration agents, who, it says, al
lure the credulous victim by fraud and
deception, and bring woe and ruin on
families and entire communities. 1t
particularly points the finger OF scorn
mt a certain agent, William l.. Row
land, who. a man OF attractive exterior
and engaging manners, came from the
United States with sort of
power of attorney to engage
emigrauts for the unsettled
districts. Look out for him, >" says
the Nord Deutsche Zeitung; "he is
not a licensed agent of Germany, and
should be denounced by all well-dis-
posed parties whom he approaches
with his deceptive offers The Vos-
sische Z-ituug reports that orders
have been given to arrest all ndlyld-
uals who persuade people to emigrate
All persons not supplied with papers

CRATE; that they have left no indignant
family behind, and that they are not
liable to military duty: shall be stop

for d fortnight. At the end Of that time
he yentured out. twas dull, cheerlsss
afternoon. The trees kept up slow drip
ping, and the sidewalks were damp and
slippery. The lenden sky cast u gloom
over all the lanscape, that accorded well
with his mood He was thinking that he
was useless member of society, that his
life would always be dull and ordinary,
and that he might just as well stop trying
to make anything Of himself, when he
urned a corner and came full on Miss
Hastings.
He didn't expect her to recognize him,
and was resolved to pass her without
noticing the cut; but she stopped and
spoke to him.

except a very email girl on the other side,
who said :" Oh, my !" and crossed over to
get Il better view Of further proceedings
Of course, he had to apologize Tor the
rudeness and explain all about it at once.
They walked slowly up the street, and just
as they reached u little eminence, the
leaden sky broke into great riffs before
them in the west and food of light
glowed on the f.r-oh, snowy hills and
threw crimson veil over all the sky
How beautiful the view isl said she.

What a lovely flush the sunset throws

The German EmigrantS Men of Means.

The emigration movement which has
assumed such considerable proportions
in Germany, especially in Mecklenburg
and certain parts of East Prussia, has
been the subject of a brief debate III
the German Parliament Alarm has
been excited in the official breast, and
also among the inhabitants, as appears
from petition presented recently from
the jewellers in the deserted districts
who have preferred to remain at home.
As remedy for the evil, the petitioners
suggest the peremptory suppression OF
the emigration aga&cies, which they re-
gard as the root of the disease In the
course Of the debate on the subject, one
deputy remarked that the emigrants
are not mainly of the poorer classes
but consist largely of small
proprietors, grown hopeless of prosper
lty III their own land, and drew the
conclusion that there was something
rotten in the state of " the new and so
splendid German Empire" Another
orator, of the feudalist party, laid the
whole blame, like the petitioners, on
the irresistible Establishments of the
emigration agents. He mentioned the
case OF one district containing about
$4,000 inhabitants, of whom 1,500have
emigrated during the current spring,
and the movement is still going on at
the rate of from 300 to 400 fortnight.
The company of Landwehr of the dis
tnct had lost by this means half of It's
men. The emigrants leave the old men
and the infrm IN the village, and those
unable to provide for their own sup
port become charge on the pubhc
funds.
