convicts, and or foreign paupers. idiots, insane

| Official correspondence This Objectionable prac-
tice has been the subject of Official correspondence
In previous administrations as well as during the
present administration.
1t appears from the correspondence recently
transmitted TO the House OF Representatives that
on the 22d b March, 1859, Mr.. Bancroft, United
States Minister at Berlin, informed that the De-
partment OF State had received unonnciaI iniorma-
tlOn that society OF Israettes had been organized
for the purpose OF sending the poor or their race
and religion to this country. Mr.. Bancroft
replied that he believed no such emf
grants had been sent who were not able
and willing to work. In August, 1871. Mr.. Rublee,
the Minister Resident Of the United States at
Berne, transmitted 70 the department q corre-
spondence with the Federal Council OF Switzer-
land respecting an alleged practice OF forwarding
paupers and imDecile persons to this country by
the communal authorities OF the canton OF Argo-
vie In his despatch Mr.. Rublee stated there was
strong ground az one time for the belief that
paupers, or persons destitute Of pecuniary means
and without the ability to earn . subsistence had
been shipped at the public expense, by a commune
OF that canton. Mr.. Rublee interfered with such
effect that an incurable idiot, shipped by
an emigrant agent was prevented from
coming to the United states. The Prest-
dent OF the Swiss Confederation spoke warmly
IN reprobation of the injustice and inhumanity
OF such an attempt to throw upon another country
the charge Of o man In this alleged condition. In
November. 1871, the department called the atten-
ton OF General Schenck, at London to an alleged
attempt on the part OF the Liverpool select vestry
to send to the United States certain number OF
pauper children, in pursuance OF q scheme OF emil
grafton which had already commenced, and he
was instructed to inquire into the matter and
report. General Schenck replied that the matter
had already attracted his attention and had been
made the subject OF formal communication to
Lord Granville. and that the shipment OF
the children had been suspended, II not
entirely abandoned. In December, 1871,
and January 1872 the department. In
| structing General Schenck respecting three
! persons who were recently released Of unexpired
terms OF Imprisonment, to which they had been
sentenced for criminal OFFENCES and sent to the
United States; and IN February, 1873, ne was In.
1 structed to inquire into the cases OF other con.
victs from British prisons, who, it was said, had
\ Doen Sent 10 tnS country. In OCTOBER,
| 1872, Mr.. Bancroft called the attention OF
the government OF the Grand Duke OF Hesse to o
statement In the German newspapers that
criminal named Johann Staun. under sentence OF
imprisonment for life for murder, arson and
robbery, had been pardOned on condition of his
| emigration TO America. The fact was not denied,
but in consequence OF the correspondence official
assurance was given "that the Grand Ducal gov
eminent OF Hesse had adopted the resolution in
case ofpardon to abstain hereafter from making
the emigration OF the criminal to America q con-
dition." The German Minister. having been
Intercepted by the Secretary OF State,
denied. In December, 1872, that two Ger.
man criminals had been sent to the
United States. Investigations into several other
similar cases elsewhere showed the reports to be
untrue. In December, 1872, the Secretary of state
informed Minister Marsh at Rome that the Commls-
sioners OF Emigration at New York complained
that large number Of emigrants from Italy had
recently landed there, most of whom were so
destitute that they must become burden, and
that it appeared that these persons had been in
duced to embark for America by extrava-
CANT promises OF certain emigration agents.
The Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs, IN
reply to representations made by Mr. Marsh,
under these instructions, thanked MIR. Marsh
for his efforts to check the frauds upon emf
grants by private agents and enclosed copy OF q
| circular from the Italian Minister of the Interior
to the different projects OF the Kingdom OF Italy,
in order to put stop to Immoral speculations Of
agents and illegal emigration brought about by
them.n In April last Count C0rt. the Italian Min
lister at Washington, transmitted to the DEPART
ment the text of Q law promulgated In Italy tor
the purpose OF preventing improper emigration,
especially Of children, and inquired whether the
government Of the United States could cooperate
o-a
pose, either by agreeing upon additional articles
to the existing treaty OF extraditiOn otherwise
