falling Orr N INMIoRA7I9S.-Last
year, during the frst six months, the tCtal
number Of arrivals Of immigrants, al New
York, was 14S,4s2. This year, for the
frt Gix months, the number Of arrivals
hiss declined to 1898. Here Is 9 decrease
oi7O,lG0, or very nearly oue.hAli. This
decrease is 50 marked that il leads 10 the
expression Of q belief in New York, that,
whilst heretofore the annual number Of
arriving immigrants at that port has
reached $4,000, this year 1t VIII not
greatly exceed 100000. The chief CON-
plrative falling Of Is said TO be in the
number OF German arrivals, fact which
is TO some extent accounted for by the
Circumstance thai-the German steamers
did 30: this year reduce their sieeTage
passage fares, as the English yesse!s did.
The crest decline il this lucrative trade
will explain the extreme rivalry Of the
English lines in cutting down steersge
tArss 10 the low rstes that have prevailed
from Bsitish ports this spring and sum
mer. Although the number Of arriving
immigrants have this year 50 greatly de
creased, yet IS 8 Glass those who have
come are said to be composed of much
better materisl than usual.

The opportunity now presents itself to q, =
Legislature, composed of majority Of colored
men, to abolish system Of printing by which
colored men are practically debarred the priv
ilege of working in that department OF the
State service, and deprived of its benefits,
while the responsibility of its vast expenditure
rests mainly upon them and to ir.ugurates
one which by its recognition of the rights of
their manhood, and by great retrenchment
in the expenditures of the revenues Of the
State, will vindcate to the world their just
claim to all the rights of freemen. We subjoin
a statement, with the calculations carefully
made from high source, a practical printer
and responsible man and Republican, OF the
cost of the permanent and current printing OF
the General Assembly, session of 1871 and
1872, with the decisions of the Supreme Court,
under the present contract, and recommend
that the Act under which the Republican
