exalt theprice Of the wsgesof one class
of laborers. by bonuses taken from
| other laborers, is simply to impoverish
he many, and leave the few who are
EN- 'iched to do business in a country
finsA cially ruined; while even the pro-
tected laborers are at last forced to fee
the land that was despoiled, ostensibly,
for their b. 'nefit.
These tboa ghts have been suggested
to us by resdin. letter Of the Rev. R.
White of New \ ork to the Kilkenny
Journal (IrelandI in which statements
are made as to some facts which our
subsidized press has been diligently
striving to keep from the people. He
says
ga WARNING TO EMIGRANTs.
This is the heading which many of the
Irish papers have given to letter from the
Rev. r. White of New York to the Kilkenny
Journal The Reverend gentleman says in
his letter:
cat the present moment there are in this
city alone thousands and thousands of able
bodied men standing idle and actually starv-
ing; nor can they get stroke Of work to
do. What is true Of New York is true, Of
every city--large city at least-all over the
Union. Public works have been suspend
ed; there are no railways in construction at
the present time anywhere; no canals,
nothing which can give employment to large
gangs OF laborers. Warn the people and let
them know the truth. There are thousands
this moment in this city who, had they the
means, would gladly return to Ireland.
These men are willing to work,
but no work can be had, for there is no
work in operation. If they still persist in
leaving, let them try Canada rather than the
States. There is as much beggary to-day in
New York as in any city in treland--as
much destitution-and they who are reduced
to this State are in general recent emigrants.
Now is the time to try the expert
ment of free trade. Everything being
at its worst, industry can begin and
build up from sound foundation. We
will, of course, have to have a: tariff;
but let it be so constructed that it will
take most from those who have, most.
and let the poor and wretched escape.
What say you, brethren, shall we
work together to half try the expert
ment!
Or will you be turned aside from the
work of self protection, by vile con-
spiracy to producecivil war in another
part of UT country?

'For once, Commodore
Vanderbilt, Col. Scott and
the Erie people were in
harmony; all agreeing that
the crisis was upon them,
and must be met; and, that
it was better to meet the
enemy at the West, than to
wait until he had advanced
into New York, Pennsylva-
MIA and the Eastern States.
What the plan Of the cam
paign is no one but them
selves knows; but if what
we hear whispered is only
half true, it cannot be long
before the order will be
given to move on the enc

THE WAY KING CARRIES CON-
MENTIONS.

We quote the following charming ac-
count from the St. Paul Press (good'
Republican authority Of the 9Th inst,
showing how King carries county
conventions
After the regular Republican convention
had been held at Grand Rapids, Itaska coun-
ty, and delegate elected to represent the
county in the Congressional Convention to
convene in Minneapolis on the 10th of Sep
tember, Captain George Houghton with the
steamer Pokegama turns up, having been
paid 500 for the trip by King, and at once
commenced the King tactics. Thomas
O'Lafiiin was hastily despatched on the eve
of the l4th ult.. to whip in Che King men,
and with birch canoe and lots Of King
whisky, ably done his duty, as he brought
down most ofthe boys king boys) to repre-
sent thu county in this Steamboat Conven-
ton, having no other notice than that OF the
runners, to come to the Rapids and vote for
King delegate, and that there was lots of
King whisky, and unfortunately one of the
ambitious King constituents, negro named
Bill Spikes, got so full of King whisky that
he fell into the river and Was drowned No
one but King men were invited. The Gre
dentials were all ready and signed, which.
consummated all the steamer had to do, SO
the Pokegama steamed up, and bore away
the credentials Of the second Congressional
convention Of Itaska county. The third set
may he expected from the Chippewa Indians
at White Oak Point, and they will no doubt
be instructed for King.
Rum, bribery, drunken loafers,
drowned negroes and bogus caucuses !
And next November this same St. Paul
Press win insist that reputable men,
who fear God and love their neighbors;
who attend churches and prayer meet
ings, and who believe,
"That still throughout the ages
One increasing purpose runs, .
And the Thoughts Of men are broadened
With the circling Of the suns"
should register the decree of nominate
ing convention packed and purchased
after this shameful manner.
'fCan such things be,
And overcome us like summer cloud,
Without one special wonders"

SOUTHERN DISTURBANCES.

Our old friend, Judge Aaron Good
pch. Of st. Paul, used to tell story
and no man tells story better-of a
fool of fellow in Tennessee, who was
constantly picking quarrels, and as
constantly getting whipped. At length
he was hired b. some fat-boatman to
90 with him to New Orleans. He was
not long in the Crescent City until he
got into fight, and to his own great
surprise, and that of his friends, he
whipped his man, Returning to Ten
nessee greatly encouraged, he provoked
several new combats, which, as usu-
al, terminated disastrously for himself.
In the last of these battles he got Sc
we're drubbing. Rising from the earth
he waved his arms wildly in the air,
aud cried out in a loud voice, "Fetch
me the man l whipped in New Or.
leans
The Republican party remindeds of
that little story. In 1872 the adroit
Morton, of Indiana, had a committee
appointed to investigate the Ku-Klux
outrages in the South, and just
in the nick of time the report of the
horrors of that desolated Ian / was pub.
lished, and it influenced hundreds of
thousands of votes. In 1873 there was
nothing more heard of the Ku-Klux.
or the Southern troubles. They
were good enough Morgan till after
election. They had served their pur.
poss.
Now there is trouble once more in
the Republican camp. The party is all
split to pieces on the currency quer-
ton; financial paralysis is on the
country; poverty is everywhere, and
discomfort rampant. But the party
has one resource left; it cries out,
''Fetch me the man ] whipped at New
Orleans" The Republican papers are
full of Ku-Klux. Every murder, every
rist. every drunken row is exaggerated
into an attempt to overthrow the ma
ton and re-establish the Confederacy;
and therefore the Republican party
must be kept in power and Grant elect
ed for third term.
A year ago we had bands of men in
Missouri and Arkansas robbing railroad
trains, breaking open prisons, waging
war with bands Of armed detectives,
and holding whole regions in a state of
terror. But no political significance
was attached to these acts any more
than was attached some years since to
the negro riots in Philadelphia or the
Forest and Macready riots in New York,
But now ''the man that was
whipped in New Orleans is
wanted. Public attention must
be diverted from the transportation
question, the tariff question, the cur
rency question, and the corrupticns OF
the administration and forthwith the
Republican papers blaze with great head
lines, until one would think that the
whole country below Mason and Dixon-s
line was engaged in civil war. There
are certain Journals in England that
hate republican institutions, and they
employ men to carefully collect from
their American exchange list, every in.
stance Of violence or bloodshed which
may occur anywhere in our broad ex-.
panse from ocean to ocean and stran-
gers, reading their journals, would con-
clude that we were the most dlawless
and desperate and bloody set of crea1
lures that ever 6sgraced human nature.

Iupe mliGr0t ion.

The number of immigrants arriving a,
the port Of New York SINCE January, this
year, is estimated at 10000 less than for the
same time last year. The decrease is at
tributed to the money panic, and half OF
the emigrants who landed last year were
sent for by their friends who had already
tasted the sweets of American life. Since
the crash last fall, however, times have sad
ly changed, and many who had intended to
send for their kinsmen this spring have ad-
vised them to wait another year. 1t is
gratifyin to know from New York paper
that:
The personnel Of the immigrant of to-day
is far superior to that Of him who Landed ten
years ago. Then it was the adventurer.
with his worldly goods in bundle on his
back, and but a shilling or two in his pocket,
who sought his fortune. Now, in the major
ity of cases, the new corners arrive by fami-
lies-husband, strong and well developed,
wife, healthy and brown with European out
door labor, and half dozen tough children.
Instead of bundle they bring several we'll
filled chests, and in his pockets is enough
cash to give them a fair start. Before, the
adventures wandered in the streets looking
for his chance; to-day, the immigrant has a
destination, knows where his friends are and
what he is to do.

LEvEES.


To the; Editors of the New Orleans Bulletin
and interested observer of the levee system
of Louisiana, and have been somewhat
familiar with the discussions and legislation
on the subject.
As the matter is now attracting much at
tention, aud as the general idea is to invoke
congressional aid, l beg leave to present
some points, rather by way Of opening dis
cussion than Of arguing.
l. Why apply to Congress, when every
member who votes for it is obliged to per-
jure himself; and when we neglect, and,
for the time, give up other, and perhaps
sure modes, for the mere chance of the
Government perpetrating for us the same
iniquity it did for the Union Pacific Rail
road, and that, too, when our last po-
litical hope is a reaction against Radical
treason, and in favor of conservatism, and
of bringing the Government land hence
forth keeping i) inside of the consti
tuition.
2. The State ought not to do it; though
she should aid with legislation and means
1t is palpably unjust and without excuse to
tax hill to levee bottom lands.
). The Levee Company is alike OdiOus as
a swindle, and ridiculous as failure.
Though it's finds favor with the present re-
gime, it will not survive a change in the
judiciary, and will not do to rely on.
4. Primarily and as a general rule, the
duty, the trt uble, the labor, and the re-
sponsiblity Of the levees should be where
they are required. Scores OF bottom plant
ers want no aid; and hundreds, if dis
tricted and empowered to act for them,
selves, could do much better than the
State, the Levee Company, Congress, En-
rope, or the cOnfe1erated world. Il take it
for granted that if Congress fail, we shall
90 flrther.)
As to extraordinary works. such as Grand
Levee, let those interested be taxed spc-
cially. 1t will cost them less in the long
run.
With home protection as our motto. the
levees will he equivalent to their cost. The
utmost vigilance, protection, and timely re-
pair, will, with proper laws be experienced
Planters made their own homes and
other improvements, and feed, clOthe, and
protect their own families. Why not make
their own fences, dltches roads and levees !
S. King Mississippi's regime ought to be
interfered with as little as possible. Let him
run aud be glorifed" in his own way. All
lands that are very low. and all districts
subject to deep Overfow-say such as were
submerged in 1865, 1867 and 1874, should be
abandoned. To protect them is to set traps
for the lives and happiness Of our people.

CROPS, ETC.-The Canoasian. alexandra, }
of the 9th inst, says: The boats seem to
have deserted Red River, We scarcely ever

The Alexandra Democrat, of the 10Th
instant, says: The crops all over the parish
have improved materially, and we feel safe
in predicting fair yield-this year such q
yield will pay and remunerate for the trou-
Bile, for we venture the assertion, never
were our planters to less expense in pitching
aud cnltivating crop-want of credit in
New Orleans, and Alexandria too, blessing
in disguise, is the happy cause Of all this,

refusal

There has been murm0r going the round,

Of vengeance against the above corporation
Every one you meet has something to say
against it, A number of parishes have held
meetings, passed denunciatOry resol utions
and appointed d. legates to 9 general con-

an early day, when the forfeiture of the
company's charter will be demanded, and
the control Of our levees be taken from it.
All this time the company has said nothing

but an unbroken silence has been returned

WASHINGTON, juno 5.-Mr Bromberg, OF
Mobile, who is , member of the Committee
on Commerce, has presented, a. Q report
scheme. Il never had any support but his
in committee but it has boen urged with
great persistence BY him. Three times has
t been defeated in the House On Mondays,
by Mr.. Cox, Of New York, twice by his OPP
position and once BY his absence. Yester-
dsy Mr.. Bromberg went around the House
begging votes for bis proposition to
make triumvirate Of Washington
doctors in quarantine affairs. He said the
object Of tho bill, 90 far ~ the Southern
people were concerned, was to keep the yell
low fever out Of the Gulf ports. It w.s
finally agreed that tho bill, as it had q ma
jority tits defest being accomplished always
before On the two-thirds test), should be
allowed to pass with an amendment of Mr..
Cox's, which prevents ito interference with
State or municipal regulations. The amend
mont il the bill a. il passed tho House is ~
follows: That the provisions Of this act
shall not be 90 construed - TO apply to any
by any Of the States or
and such local systems
aud their appendagee shau remain under
the control Of respective local authorities"
As matter of fact, this takes the wind out
Of the bill, for it absolves everybody from
the penalties prescribed. The word "apply,"
Mr.. Tremain says, il q very big word in this
connection. However, the Senate Commit
tee on Commerce has great deal more work
on hand thsn it can get through with dur
ing this session, aud its passage through the
Senate is thing that will be extremely
difficult to accomplish till next year.
