GOVERNOR DIX, of New York. has
just signed the bill creating new board
OF commissioners Of emigration, which is
intended to reform long-standing abuses
IN that department. According to this
law the governor is to appoint within the
next ten days six commissioners, who
are, to form three classes whose terms
Will expire two, four and six years.
The presidents of the Irish emigrant soci-
ETY., and of the German emigrant society.
VIII also be members of the board
but will not have the right to vote upon
the appointment or removal of subordi-
mates. Among other features of the new
bill is the reduction of the time for which
emigrants shall be provided for by the
commission. Heretofore emigrants ar
irving in New York were entitled in case
of sickness or casualty, to support for
period of not more than five years. This
time has been reduced to two years. at
the expiration of which the emigrants. if
paupers, will be supported at the expense
OF the county. But the most important
change of all is in relation to the tax. or
"head-money" to be paid on each alien
.emigrant arriving in New York. 1t has
heretofore amounted to $3.50 on each en-
grant; 1t is now increased to So 90.
