EADS.
His EnthuBiastic Reception at New Or
IeaRs-He DecIines n Banquet,
and Explains His
Views.

St. Louis Republican,
NEW ORLEANS, May 1.-THE arrival
of Mr.. Eads this morning was made the
occasion Of almost an ovation, and Oc-
casiOned feeling OF much relief on the
part Of hundreds of citizens, as he is
lOOkeJ. 20 cow to relieve by his jettiCs
the great barrier to the commerce Ofthls
city AID the Mississippi valley, and is
expuetsd % furnish employment to
Thousand or two OF labOrers, the families
of many OF whom are already suffering
for the necessarles of life. During the
day some seventy persons called upon
MIR. Eads at the st. Charles hotel, some
to inquire as to his plans, but the major
ity to seek positions, and tonight he
was waited upon by committees
from the cotton exchange, ship agents
association, board of trade, and
chamber Of commerce, the latter attend
ing in a body, headed by its president,
Cyrus w. Bussey, hundred leading
business men, as well as the mayor and
council. A welcome address was made
by President Bussey, who rendered to
Colonel Esds the hospiialities Of the city,
which was replied to briefly by Colonel
Eads, who stated that it was his inten-
ton to have the channel Of the mouth
Vi ILlS IINcl OCCpChCN oO Vh1G AZ wiz 0u-
NIT the passage of the largest vessels In

firm conviction that the work could be

Che desired relief in the shape Of labor
would soon be afforded. He also re-
minded the committee and gentlemen
present that he did not come here to

decline the banquet, and that lionized
him in the estimation Of those present.

the world the great Mississippi valley.
Tomorrow Mr.. Eads will make some
preliminary arrangements, and on
Thursday will go by steamer down to
the passes and make thorough exami-
nation, after which he will return and
perhaps remain here several weeks.

MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
Third Day-HO Falling Oh of Interest
or OF ATteEdRnee-The Building
Crowded Afternoon and
Evening.
A Beautiful Sight Chorus of children
Two WeII-SeIecfed Programmes
Most AFIistIealIy Inter.
DFeted.

CINCINNATI, May I3.-The appear
ance Of that part OF the festival hall Oc-
cupied by the performers this afternoon
drew eXclamsJ!Ons OF delight and pleas
ure from the audience. That portion of
the teTraced stage occupied by the
chorus was filled with children from the
public schools, who not only crowded
the entire space provided for them, but
OveTtiOwed into the galleries on either
side. Their bright, cheerful faces and
the holiday attire Of the young misses,
which was of white, with pink or blue
ribbons, gave sn aspect to that portion
OF the house of the most pleasing char
acter. The fiutteTing fans among them
appeared like butterflies on a bed of
roses. The chOruses were Of an easier
character than those of the proceeding
concerts, but were sung by the children
with great passion. They manifested
no trepidatiOn or hesitancy, but render
ed their parts with surprising exactness,
and were responsive to the slightest mo-
tiOns of their conductor, Mr.. Thomas.
The performance opened with festival
overture, performed by the or
chestra in their incompatible style.
This was followed with a prayer.
"LOrd of Heaven, Invoke Thee" was
sung by the children and accompanied
by the grand organ. Schuberts's "Die
all Mscht," sung by Mr.. Bischoff, was
given in fine style. All the artists were
perfect in their respective parts, but the
efforts for an encore were unavsiling,
with one exception. A song by RossiDi,
"Night's Shade No Longer Entrances"
was received with so much applause
that the children were compelled to re-
peat it.
For the evening was reserved the
grand occasion Of the week. Seats were
at a premium early in the afternoon,
and the outpOuring of people at night
was too much for the limited capacity
Of the hall. All the seats were filled,
and the crowd took possession Of a I or-
tion of the aisles. The Hobbies were
packed, and before eight O'Clock it be-
came necessary to stop the sale of ad
mission tickets at the entrances. TheO-
dore Thomas was greeted with shouts OF
applause upon his mounting the stand,
and an effort was made by him to begin
the evenings entertainment. After the
performance Of few bars, it was found
necessary to suspend the performance
owing to the confusion among the
audience, and an effort was made 10
clear the aisles and to reduce the multi
tude into something like order, so the
full effect Of the music could be enjoyed.
In this there was only partial success at
tanned. After some time the orchestra
resumed the magnificat in D. 1t was
that portion Of the programme selected
for the first half of the evenings per-
fOrmsnce, and its various numbers were
given with superb finish and wonderful
execution.

MEMPHIS. TENN. FRIDAY. MAY H. 1875

showing that in the year 1854 immigra.
tim into the Unitad States was larger
than during any year since then, and
that latterly there has been a very great
decrease in the influx Of foreigners. This
is accounted for by the general rule that
bad times in America decrease immi-
grafton hither, and bad times
in Europe increase it; but more
than this, the tide is actually setting
back to Europe, any many thousands
took advantage of the low rates last
year and returned to their native lands.
Mr.. Hill confidently predicts however,
that this will change; that the falling
off is only temporary, and the reaction
will make immigration iB the coming
years greater than ever before. The
causes that will produce this are the
still Over-crowded state Of the old world,
the difficulty which the poorer classes
find in getting a fOOthOld in the high
priced European land, the distasteful
and stringent military laws Of the
German government, and many other
equally potent reasons. The paper then
considers the various streams which
contribute to this river OF immigration,
among which the most notable are the
cOun tries OF England, Ireland, Scotland,
Sweden, Norway, Russia and Germany.
'Ghe class of immigrants now reaching
these shores is far superior to that OF
those who first came. Affect poverty is
now the exception, while formerly it
was the rule. A colony Of two thou
sand Mennonites, who reached Kansas
last year 1T is said, brought million anda
half dollars. A very moderate estimate
OF the total wealth brought to this
country by emigrants at present is
thirty million dollars per annum, and
the economic value to the land, Of
course, far exceeds this figure.
Mr.. Hill closed by strongly urging
that the government encourage immi-
grafton by every means in its power,
and protect and welcome the stTS niger.
An interesting debate followed the
reading Of this paper in which many OF
the delegates took part.

Excited Meeting OF the Erie directors
Yesterday in NeS YOrk-JRy Cook
and the Northern Pacific.

NEW YORK, May l3.-A long and ex-
cited meeting OF the Erie directors was
held to-day. The special committee, con-
sisting of President Jewett, John Taylor
Johnson and Ex-Governor Morgan, ap-
pointed to make q report to the stock
holders on the condition Of the road,
presented their report, and considerable
discussion followed. Owing to the ru-
mOrs sflost that the company could not
pay its June interest, it was decided at
tO-day's meeting to telegraph to London
that some arrangement would be made
in regard to its payment. In regard to
the proposition to raise the money by
the sale OF the company's coal lands,
the report stated that q mortgage for
half q million dollars had already been
made on these lands on a longtime
loan. President Jewett declined 10 give
the figures Of the main part Of the re-
port, but said they would be furnished
for publication in course of time.
Judge Blatchfeld, in the United
States district court to-day. on the ap-
plcation Of Jay Cooke and ChsrlemSgne
Tower, holders Of the first mortgage
bonds Of the Union Pacific railroad,
issued a decree ordering the sale, at pub
lIc auction, OF all the property, including
lands and grants Of the Northern Pacific
railroad. The lands and grants are to
be sold in the States in which they are
located, and the other property in this
city, on the first Monday in August.

pointed masters.

THE celebrated Fifth regiment Of Bal
timOre having been invited to partici-
pate in the approaching celebration at
Boston of the centennial anniversary of
the battle of Bunker's Hill, the Sun, in
common with the press generally of the
Monumental city, cOmmends the ac-
ceptance Of the invitation as in every
point Of view appropriste.snd commend
able. Although the battle OF Breeds
Hill, or Bunker's Hill as it is known in
history, was fought by New England
men, the other colonies, Maryland
among the number, were prompt to an
swer TO the call of Massachusetts, and
when soon afterward the continental
army besieged the royal troops in BOs-
ton, Virginia sent her Washington to
command the patriot host, and Mary
land, as well as Virginia, contributed
her quota Of volunteers TO the forces IN
der his command. And nov, when
good men and true, both nerth and
south, are trying to revive national and
patriotic memories and traditions, to the
exclusion and effacement Of the bitter
recoIlectionsofre recent strife and estrange-
ment, it is proper that both sides should
be represented again, as they were in
I775.

The Mining troubles in Pennsylvania.

OsCEOLA, Pa, May 13.-John Seney,
president OF the NJ. and L. B. A, while
addressing a large meeting of excited
miners, at this place to-day, said that if
Captain T. E. Clarke, of the police force,
received any injury, the miners would
not be to blame; it would be the fault of
the persons who sent him here. He also
said that there were times when persons
were justified in violating law; that it
was robbery, and the persons who came
here now seeking to take the places Of
those out on strike, were rOObing the
women aud children of their bread, and
should be treated accordingly. Seney
then sent the infuriated crowd to Pow
elton, driving the men from their work,
as they did at Fishers works yesterday.
1t is the universal belief here among dis
interested citizens, that if there is blood
shed, the blame will rest with Seney
and Parks, who are under the pay of the
national organization, and who, it is be-
lieved, are being paid by shippers in
other regions that are now working to
keep the strike up. Seney and Parks
are both foreigners, and have made some
heavy threats against the native. born
miners and shippers.

IMPORTANT OPINION.
ABrmisG the Validity OF the Iowa
Railroad Traffic act OF March
AZ, 1875.

CHICAGO, May l3.-Judge Dillon, OF
the United States court, rendered yes
terday at DesMOines.a an important Opin-
ion affirming the validity of the Iowa
railroad traffic act of March %, 1875, and
its application to the Burlington road,
now operated by the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy road. The decision rests
upon two grounds, that the State never
made any grant to the company in its
charter OF the exclusive right to fix its
own tolls, and if it did the right was
surrendered by the company to the
State when it accepted the land grant in
July 1856, agreeing that the State
might thereafter enact such rules and
regulations as it saw fit, and not
inconsistent with the act and
the act of congress max
ing the grant. Judge Dillon then
discussed the general subject, and among
other points stated that the right OF
public control over the highway results
from the power and duty of providing
and preserving them. In its public
character a railroad is a highway or
means more rapid communication, and
its public character is not divested from
the fact that the ownership is private
over the rights OF shareholders. So far as
these are private property the States have
control, but the same. control as over
private property the legislature has not
conferred upon railways in this State
the exclusive power to fix their own
charges. The railroads are subject to eX-
erCises of the police regulations Of the
State. In speaking of the acceptance
by the company of the legislation Of
1857, the court holds that the Legislature
meant thereby to put at rest any ques-
ton that might then exist as to the
Of the corporation, accept
ing the grant to the Legislative power Of
the State so far as consistently with the
Of their franchise, the public
good might from time to time require.
The court denied the cOmpapy's appli-
cation for an injunction and dismissed
the bill, and thereupon allowed an APP
peal to the supreme court Of the United
States.
