Emigration Statistics.

In one week in July last 1000
steerage passengers sailed for Eu-
rope from New York. Last Sat-
urday week 500 sailed in a single
ship. During the year ending
June so, 1873, the outgoing pas
sengers by sea from the United
States were 1915 During the
five years previous the average
animal number was $1,000. OF
those departing 65,44s were "other
than cabin" This excess in the
year named is not due TO the
Vienna exhibition, for during the
three months Of the spring and
summer, when travel was at it:
height, the steamships carried only
about 500 more passengers abroad
than in the corresponding period
of 1872. For the year ending
with June, 1873, AZ, I44 citizens o'
the United States came home, and
1885 "aliens not intending to re,
main" arrived. The WI o'e emmi
grafton for the year was 473,141
exclusive Of our returning citizens
The remarkable increase in tn,
number Of people going abroad
indicates the return Of emmigrant,
for good. Some have made theil
fortunes some have been disap
pointed even labor has failed
This last cause has operated fol
the past year more than heretofore
as the returns Of next year vii
show.

The Change.

1t seems that tia political tide Is
undergoing a grand revolution, and
that so speedily that al hope of ih,
Republican leaders is forever gone
and now they are willing to admit
that the democracy win certainly
elect the next president OF the
United States. The returns thus
far indicate that we even now have
a majority in the next Congress
aud at the same rate for the next
three years TO come, the Reppbli-
can party win cease TO be in exist
ence. 1t has had its day, and will
become mere relic of the past,
having outhved itself and its use
fulneSS.
The telegraph to-day, CWednes-
day), announces that New York
has given 10000 Democratic ma
jority, while Massachusetts,, the
stronghold of Radicalism, goes TO-
strong against the party now in
power. Add to this the belief OF
many Of the leading political lead
ers that Michigan this fall viii give
a Democratic majority, and we can
say, If this proves correct, that the
people throughout the entire land
are waking up and throwing of the
ties which have bound them so
long 10 the most corrupt party that
ever existed. and that they are as
sorting through the hallot-box the
great necessity Of resting the rule
of this government from the hands
of radical extravaganza and rings,
and return & On more 10 reform
and economy.
When We hear that the people Of
New York have defeated Governor
Dix by something like 10000, it is
sufficient evidence that the Repub-
lican party in that State Is fast dy-
ing ont, that its political career is
ended. And, too, for Massachu- |
sets 10 give q Democratic MAORI /
" Of 10000 is something very few
had hoped for. 1t is the only in
stance the State has ever gone
Democratic, and it has, 10y so doing
this fall. dug the political grave for
Ben. Butler. of spoon and salary /
grab notoriety, where he viii for
ever remain buried. The Radicals I
fear for the safety of Michigan, and 1
well they may, for the acts Of the
present party in power, when
brought to the notice of the people,
are enough to change the blacklist
State in the Union in o single day. /
However, at this early day, it .
cannot he fully determined as TO
he result, but it will be only q
short time ere the people will know
whether they have gained a vic
tory for themselves, OF whether
they have returned the old party
for another two years of corrupt
rule.

The tumble OF the ERECTION Laws

Ine tumble OF the Election Laws.
The election lave are puzzle and q
tumble, containing loopholes for fraud,
and aHording opportunities to defeat
the will of the people. The Constiiu-
ton provides that the election for all
State officers shall take place at the
time provided for that Of members of
the General Assembly. Before the late
amendment to the Constitutions the
time fixed for that election was the
third Wednesday in October. Now,
however, the Constitution is so amend
ed that the election for members of
the General Assembly shall be held on
the first Tueeday following the first
Monday in November. and all State
officers are, of course, elected at the
same time. The fret paragraph of the
eighth chapter of the General Sta
tutes, following the unamonded Con-
