TIE MENNONITE IMM1aRAT1oN, which is not
the first instance on record of population
leaving their homes in obedience to the die
tates Of religious feeling will be found fully
elucidated on the eleventh page Of the HERALD
The story Of these Germano- Russians in their
'Crimean settlements, their thrift and the COW
enant under which they went to Russia in the
last century, is very interesting. They were
to be forever absolved from military service,
according to the terms Of the treaty The new
Russian military law exempts no one from
service, and the Mennonites have asked and
obtained leave to emigrate. They are coming
men of industry are at premium, and we bid
them welcome.

with other men whose names and public repu-
tation will be calculated to attract the public
confidence and support And it is good
thing for the interests of the State when the
party in power begins to feel that its position
is somewhat precarious, and can only be re-
tained by evidences of good faith and good
works.
The main fight however. in our November
election will not be upon the State ticket but
for the Legislature, upon which will fall the
election of United States Senator in place OF
Fenton, and some matters Of reconstruction
in reference to our city government and the
public plunder involved. Between a Custom
House clique and an anti Custom House clique
in the republican camp, it is said, deadly
feud from the last Legislature still prevails,
and that it will demoralize and weaken the
party in many Assembly and Senatorial dis
tricts. 1t is reported that Mayor Havemeyer,
in his administration of our city affairs, has
become as obnoxious to the republican party
as was President johnson in undertaking
without the advice of Congress to carry out
his own programme of Southern reconstruction
and restoration. Nor do our city democrats
entertain any encouraging admiration
for the extraordinary ideas and experiments
of independence and city reform which have,
SO far, marked the course of our venerable
Mayor His administration, then, will be a
stumbling-block to both parties in the i'm
pending canvass but to the extent in which
it is dead loss to the republicans it will be a
clear gain to the democrats General apathy,
which invariably most seriously affects the
national party in power for the year or two
Immediately succeeding Presidential con-
test, will operate in these coming elections in
favor of the opposition. But from the pre-
vailing public impression that the State of
New York will probably be carried this year
by the democrats, we conjecture that they will
be united and will make vigorous effort for
success while from the discords and conflict
ing cliques among the republicans they will
certainly have no easy task before them to
save the Legislature.

THE GRAIN SPECTATORS IN CHICAGO occa-
sionally overreach themselves. They are as
keen at getting up corner in grain or corn as
oar Wall street men are in stocks or money
but in this they sometimes get cornered. It
appears that some large dealers have made con-
tracts to deliver barley of certain quality at
fixed price. These contracts were predicated
upon favorable crop. Now, it seems, the crop
is not so good as expected, and the dealers
are "short' and unable to fulfil their obliga:
tions. In this extremity they appeal to the
Board of Trade to change the grading of bar
ley, 30 that No. may be inspected as No. 2,
in order TO save themselves. This proceeding
has created considerable excitement on

No Prospect of q Pardon for the Con-

Sheriff Bowen, who has recently returned
from Columbia, reports that there Is no pro-
bablllly OF the petition for the pardon OF Bian'
ford Gallard receiving favorable considera-
tlon from Governor Moses, beyond the respite
of tive weeks which has been granted. A copy
OF the testimony taken on the trial accom-
panied the petition, and the Governor, alter
careful examination OF the record, says mat
he sees no reason for Interfering with the due
process of the Law, and the probability is,
therefore, that the execution will take place
at the expiration OF the term OF respite, which

therefore, made no preparation for his death,

pardon as synopslzad In TIE NEWS of Satur-
