THE general peace in Europe and the
hard times in this country have caused
an immense diminution in the num-
Der of immigrants, the figures for 1873
being three hundred and eighty-five
thousand, those for 1874 only two hum
dred thousand and those from Janua-
ry first proportionately much smaller.

matter of smuggling and under-valua-

these practices are not peculiar to the

The Dark side ofTexas.

A subscriber of the Macon Miss. }
Beacon contributes the following beau
tiful poetical gem to its columns:
Texasl while drifting away from thy shore,
May hope, as leave thee, 10 greet thee no
more.
You have plenty of creeks, but no water at
hand,
No corn for your horses, but plenty Of land,
Plenty Of horses, but none 1T 20 ride,
Plenty Of poverty, plenty Of pride,
Plenty Of cattle, no butter or milk,
No care for the dairy, but n fOndness for
silk,
The richest Of soil, bet never a peach,
Plenty Of all things, but nothing in reach,
Plenty Of bacon-year before last,
And plenty again when there comes q good
mast;
A fair land of promise, 1 seek but 10 find
Those promises hollow. and 1 leave thee
behind.

New York Dry Goods Market

From the Commercial Bulletin.
DOMESTIC Dry GooDs.-The week
opens with quiet market for domestic
productions, the demand for which has
been materially checked by the prevail
ing cold weather and the consequent
stagnation of business in large sections of
the West and Northwest The difficulty
Of transporting merchandise to the inte-
rior has also had the effect of curtailiny
the operations of merchants now in thi.
market.
The jobbers are receiving good many
orders from distributors throughout the
country, but, generally speaking, the
trade movement is slow, and will proba-
bly, continue so until the prospects for
consumptive demand become more apps-
rent.
Accounts from the manufacturing dis
tricts of New England represent al un-
settled feeling among the mill opera
tives at various points, and some further
strikes have occurred, while Others APP
pear to be imminent. The water supply
has undergone little or no improvement,
and production is checked to an extent
which many Of our friends at n distance
are unwilling to believe, but which they
will probably be compelled to realize IN
the not far distant future.
The print market has lost much Of that
activity which has been its characters
tic for the last ten days. The out-oi-
town jobbers have lately been such lib
eral purchasers of shrtings and dark
fancy prints at low prices that they are
well supplied for the present with these
goods, and the western trade have shown
but little disposition to invest in light
work thus far In accordance with our
remarks this morning, Garners Amos
keag and Wamsutta prints have been
subjected to an advance OF &c Tor all de-
scriptions, aside from which there have
been no further price changes, and the
future ofthc market will depend-in
measure at lcast-upon the course oi
prices for printing cloths Printed shirt
ings are now generally held at SIC, and
the supply continues moderate IN first
hands.
GINGHAMs are IN good demand tor
medium fancy staples, which contlnu"
closely sold up by the leading agent.
The Benirew Mills have just introduced
Il line OF fine book-fold gnghams, which
bear II striking resemblance 10 those "t
foreign manufacture, and which are prob
ably destined 10 attain popularity.
The market Tor cotton goods prcsentsa II
steady demand f,r heavy standard anG
fine brown cotton,, corset Jeans, dcnims,
ducks, &C., price, for which are firmly
maintained. Blcached shirtings are not
very quick, but several popular brand,
are still sold ahead of production by the
agents. Cottonadcs are rather slow. NJ
the jobbors are dcterring their purchase
of these goods for the present.
New YORK, February 1.-THE trade
movement is stIl interrupted by the cold
weather and difficulty of transportation.
Cotton goods are firm with an upward
tendency. Nearly all shcctings have
advanced 2!c; Haymaker " Bashor dem

skirtng are higher. Shirtings and fancy
prints are in moderate demand, and
gnghams are active with an upward
look. Woolcn good- continue quiet.

to exclude any man from this Chamber
on account of color, race or previous con-

that the Constitution and laws be en-
