The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-12-24


Bismarck had been in consultation with the
Emperor, and hopes-or fears-were enter
tanned that his threat of resignation would not
be carried out. The opinion seems to be
general that the Reichstag did not mean to
express want of confidence in the Chancellor
by its vote: It is said that in any case the
Emperor would not accept Of his resignation,
and we presume that the difficulty has been
settled, as such difficulties generally are. But
there is moral, says New York contem-
porary, in this event which the American peo-
pie cannot fail to perceive. Here is the most
powerful man in the most powerful monarchy
IN Europe SO sensitive to the opinion Of the
nation that he offers to resign his great Office
mot because he is formally censured, but
because single act Of his is objected to by
the national legislature. In the United
States we see the contrast of an entire admin
istration condemned by . popular vote, and
vet all the members Of the Cabinet clinging
| to Office in defiance Of the expressed opinion
Of the country. .eI NJ s54l 1Ir
The Commissioners of Emigration at Castle
Garden, New York city, predict that during
the next two OF three months there will be a
large emigration Of Germans back to their
native land. Most Of the applicants to the
commissioners so far for aid are mechanics,
and in nearly every case they have come pro-
vided with letters from Germany. in which
they are assured that labor is plenty and
profitable at home, and that the demand for
mechanics is greater than it has been TOR
many years previous. Nor does it appear
that these Letters exaggerate the condition of
affairs Skilled labor is scarce and the
prices paid are good, most all classes Of
mechanics receiving about, two-thirds
advance upon the wages that used to
be paid in their different grades Of work.
This is accounted for on the ground. not only
Of the unity of Germany, but her enrichment
by the war. She has been more than indem-
niied, it is claimed; for besides making
France pay the expenses Of the campaign,
money has become plentiful industries that
during the war have revived, her
business relations with other powers have ex-
tended, and there has arisen an increased in |
ternal and external demand for her manufac- |
tures Besides, the war killed of many of |
her skilled laborers or MANNED them for life,
ard time sufficient has not elapsed to recruit |
the ranks with reliable material.

Their investigations have been exhaustive, /,
nd we believe, from what we can CLEAN, that
hey are predisposed towards canal as an
utlet as being a certainty, though expert
aents may be recommended at some one of
he mouths of the river as test of the several
nethods. We understand that but q short

heir allegiance to the canal project Owing
. the obligations Of the committee, it is now
to say how true this is. a&ss 5f5 II
