4 I've see it stated that ten thou
sand English men, women and
\ children are about To Be brought
from England, aud colonized in
one Of Uur Southern States, by
Joseph Arch, the representative
sof tie English workine classes,
/ who arrived In our country some
months since. Aud ii IS also said
the London Times protests against
this exodus, saying To working
men 0f England, remain At home
and your status win be elevated.
There Is great inducemeht held
ont IN this promise for tie English
people not to leave Che place Of
their birth, with an its pleasant
memories and associations. But
We think il would be Az well for
these ten thousand t0 come; and
then when the stains is elevated,
they can 90 back again. Or IL
they stay here, those IN England
viii have all the more opportunity
to enjoy the elevated status.
Nor can we see anv good reason
for the London Zines protest.
England viii never lack workers,
if she win bat treat them wel;
and we are sure that, il this re-
spect there has been q grear ims
progenent in the last ~cantufF.
Nations especially monarchies
move very slowly ID such matters.
Where the governing classes are
wealthy and comfortable they are
not apt to give themselves smueh
trouble concerning the other class
es-most certainly not, unless it
concerns them to do SO. But In
telligeuce, which is a great Ieveller
as well as builder, is fast Topping
off the dead and uU productive
barnches Of social rule-it III de-
molisling the structure set 40 by
selhshness lit is bringing down to
the hard-pan Of common sense all
theories or ideas that there IS one
class Of people in the world enti-
tied to homage ahgough inherit
ance. That Kings ana their de-
scendants rule "bys divine right
is q very pleasant and agreeable
idea for Kings and their descend
ants to entertain; so is it for those
who sustain the idea-the Dukes,
the Counts, the Marquises, Lords,
etc, because il retains for them
their titles and gives them nrivi-
leges otherwise unattainable. But
there are those in the world who
look upon this as the pursst of
baiderlash, and who seoat with
contempt the claim 20 any sach
right Being divine. With sBch
this claim is brushed aside with
the same disgust as III That which,
every few years, is made by some
poor innocent -s0me half-cra-
zed being who goes about the

ply as good aud great men. If
they happen to be kings, or oth-
arwise titled, they will not fail to
get their due need Of honor and
praise. Beyond this there ii 40
claim. Hence these rulers OF Eua4

says, elevate the status" OF tho

The convention was most orderly

plete satisfaction was expressed at the
outcome. At several times during
the voting persistent efforts were made
to induce Gen. Browne to permit the
use of his name as a compromise can
didate, and only the most positive and
emphatic refusals prevented his nomi-

as decidedly the BEST active and
reliable representative in Congress,

"The Republican party has really

The District of Columbia has had
a pretty thorough investigation,
and the old burnt District can
claim great honor in the matter,
through It's able Representative
Judge Wilson. Under no circum
stances would I have referred to
the acts of Judge Wilson, was he

would have said it was designed
for political capital; it would have
done him no good, but on the con

enough of that already. Let's have
