We have already spoken Of the fact that the
scandals IN the Southern Legislatures were in
many cases caused BY. the old aristocratic resi-
dents, ex-rebels, Of course, who unhesitatingS
offered brides to poor and weak members of the

corruption. The following is quotation from

Wednesday Afternoon, Feb. ~.
sAM. TowNsENp AND THE GAZETTE.

The Sage Of Appointments has written an
other letter, which the Gazette hopes we will
not copy" Our readers will, however, be in
terested to know that Mr.. Townsend demands
that this year, the Democratic nominations for
Legislature and Levy Court must be made by
ballot, and declares, in the most emphatic man
ner, that 'the white Democrats of old Appoquin-
'mink Hundred have not yet gone to grass

party in other localities by New Departure here
sizes. ''half white and half negroes As for
himself he will never consent to negro equality ,
and he regards the editor of the Gazette as one
of the Giving new kind Of piebald Democrats.
All this is very lively reading, but we confess
We rather tire Of it, as unquestionably the
Gazette did, long ago. As Mark Twain's Nevada
friend said, when the COW rolled down on his
tent, the twentieth time, these iterations OF Mr..
Townsend become somewhat monotonous. II tie
Dictator of Towns End means anything more
serious than mere words, let him attack the Ring
the Gazette, the New Departurists, the chques-

practical manner, either by new Democratic
organization or by kicking out of the present
one, all his opponents. These windy prenuncia
mentos are funny but they do no serious execu

American Immigration from Great Britain

Immigration from the United Kingdom to
the United States is on the increase. The Scotch
and Irish are now embarking more generally
from their own ports than from Liverpool which
has hitherto been the head quarters of the
emigration movement. During 1871 Liver
irish, ,4S3 Scotch, and 81 479 from continental
countries-a total Of 1874, 1885, Iabout three thous-
and more than in 1870. European migration il
rapidly increasing. We are glad to see the usual
preponderance of the harder Northern European
races in this movement.
