INFORMATION ron IMMIGnANTs.

The Chief Of the Bureau of Statistics de-
slres us to say, In reference to the letter Of
scandinavian" in Tuesdays REPUBLICAN,,
that when his communication accompanying
a German translation of his Report on In
migration was transmitted to Congress,
April /, 1872, the publication Of editions in
the French and Scandinavian languages was
also strongly urged. The following extracts
from that letter arc presented
"AuentlOn Is invited to the urgent necessity
for supplying those countries OF Continental
Europe from which we derive the largest number

After a itatemUnt OF llCti and arguments
In favor Of the publication of editions In the
German and French languages, Mr.. ioung

Ten new sloops-Of-war will ut least give
an air OF rcspCctubility to the navy Of ma
ton that ought long since to have had the

Reference to our news columns this morn
ing will fully bear out the epithet Of scandal
which is applied above to the credit mOOiiier
investigation. The conviction has been
growing IN the public mind Tor some days
past that, though there might have been no
bribery and corruption In the allotment Of
credit mobilcr stock and Its accruing divi-
dends, there mas certainly been something
akin to moral perjury in the testimony
given before Mr.. Polands committee. II,
however, there has been perjury lately, con-
grcs-lUnal misconduct will be found lying
back Of 1t, In connection with the
stock jObIing operations Of four or
lvc years ago, and 1t now behoOves every
man In the Republican party whose hands
are unstained To stand up and demand that
there be no holding back Of tue truth, and
the whole truth, In relation to the credit mo-
bilier ON any prctext whatsoever soiled
regulations are lying all about the Capitol
building; II will be kindness to give each one
OF them every opportunity OF renovation,
irrespective Of the fate Of all others, and, for
the alternative, positive stain Of guilt Is no
worse than the chameleon huss that have
followed each other from day to day US meln-
Ter after member has been brought to the

TuE SECRETARY or THE NAVY Is to be
congratulated over the vote Of confidence
virtually passed In his favor yesterday by the
action Of the Senate upon the slOup-of-war
Till. That the House will concur Is highly
probable, and thus the wise views of the head
of our naval establishment will prevail against
foolish counsels on all sides, and the decline
Of the navy for the time being arrested.

the happy address OF Hon. Mr.. Cox, delivered
last evening at the reception Of the New York
Republican Association, for to know that he
spoke on such an occasion Is guarantee that
the speech Is well worthy reading. The
speech, bubbllug with humor, sparkling with

that the Democratic leader Of the House was
