The President and the Senate.

Have We . government inspired by any
higher motives than those which animated
the men who ruled Rome III these days Of
corruption and decay? Have we Senate
moro worthy to represent . free people than
the degraded Senate of Rome? Our Senate,
chosen to represent free nation, has made
itself the slavish register of the Presidents
viii Gorged with patronage, its members
have never questioned when the President
commanded. His will has taken the place of
the will Of the people.
In other words, the President has made Q
compact with the Senate, by which, if its
members will only sustain him in his admin.
istxAton, he will give each Senator the abso-
late control Of the patronage of the State he
reQcosentA This compact has been observed.
Oonkling has been made the pro-consul Of
patronage In New York, and Cameron in
Een0ylvania, and 20 on through the States,
until We see Common wealths as proud as
6outh Carolina and Alabama, at the mercy of
adventurers like Spencer and Patterson. BY
thls compact the Government has fallen into
fraud the revenue; military usurpations control
the States in the South; civil services which the
President in earlier and better days really
tried to sustain is dead. The gorged and de-
graded Senate only questioned the will Of
the President when he attempted to serve the
country ct the expense Of their patronage.
All these developments of crime in the va
rious parts of the country, "whisky rings" in
the West, ''sugar rin9a" in the South, ..rail-
road rings" in the Ea1Es all these manifesto
lions of decay in national virtue, beginning
with the appointment sof vagabond relatives
OF the President to plumber soldiers on the
plains. and ending with the disgrace Of Bah
cock and the impeachment of Belknap, are to
be attributed to the ambition of the Presi.
dent sustained and strengthened BY the

A Sailor Stabbed and Dangerously
Wounded on Shipboard.

Sunday morning about 2 o'clock Difficult
q occurred on board the British ship Siberia

O'Clock A. M. by the third mate, who in
formed him that Hansen had been stabbed.
The Captain started ont of his stateroom, and
met Hansen, who appeared quite weak from
loss Of blood, and had his wounds dressed.
Hansen, the woundsd man, states that he
vas asleep in the forecastle, in lower bunk,
when he was awakened by being kicked in
Shs head. He jumped up and tried to defend
himself, when he was stabbed twice by Dalton,
tho man that kicked him. He then ran off
the forcecastIe, knowing that he. would be
killed if he remained.
Dalton, he states, was in company with two
Other sailors belonging to the ship Richmond,
who took no active part in the assault
A boy named Scott says he was asleep in
his bunk when he was awakened by Dalton,
who cursed Hansen and called on him to get
ap
Hansen did not get up Immediately, and
Dalton commenced to kick him in the head,
and then dmwing knife stabbed him twice.
Scott then nm out to awaken the carpenter.
Capt Urquhart sent for the police and or
dered the Waterman of the vessel not to al
low any ono to leave the vessel
The two men who were ia company with
Dalton represented themselves as belonging
b ship lying on the outside, and managed
TO make good their escape.
Two police officers boarded the vessel and |
arrested Dalton, who was considerably under |
Tho influence Of liquor. he denies having
done the stabbing. u

Italian immigration.

At O meeting of gentlemen interested in the sub
ject of italian immigration, held recently in Sydney,
n. S. W., of which Sir Alfred Stephen was chairman,
in answer to inquiries, Signor D'Albertis said
"He believed the class now emigrating were chief
ly cultivators Of the soil; workmen did not so often
~emigrate. They went from one end Of Italy to the
other. There was emigration from Genoa to Flor
ence. The mountaineers, if they could get o piece Of
land in the mountains here, would change the ap-
pearance of the country in q very few years; they
would cultivate the grape, the olive, and the chest
nut. In the center of Italy. in Tuscany, the people
were perhaps the best educated, and many of them
we're inclined to ~emigrate; they would be very useful
for the cultivation Of the olive, grape, and the rear
ing of the silkWorm. From the southern part of
Italy, from Naples, the mountaineers were also skill
full in the cultivation Of the grape and olive, and they
knew a little more about cattle and sheep. The
Italians generally. he thought, emigrated with the
hope of making money and returning to Italy to be-
come small proprietors. If they were induced to
come here he did not think they would remain long,
unless they were able to become proprietors Of land,
either by grant, or at a cheap rate. If that were
guaranteed he was certain they would be induced to
come in great numbers. Some two years ago, he
was commissioned by the Government of the Sand
witch Islands to send them ~emigrants from Italy, with
the promise of q free piece of land. Thousands of
people in Italy called on him, to get information on
the subject, but at that time it was thought in Italy
that emigration was against Italian interests, and
the project failed completely, for the Government
tried to prevent emigration. Now, however, the
Government had found they could not prevent it;
and this society had been formed to direct the emf
grants to suitable fields for their labor. In the South
American republics the Italian immigrant generally
worked for wages, and when he had accumulated two
or three hundred pounds he went back and bought
a bit of land. If, however, they were able to pur-
chase land in the country to which they immigrated,
they generally remained there, and never went back.
In this colony nearly all the resident Italians were
proprietors. There would not be single women
among the immigrants from Italy, like the Irish
girls; the Italians would bring their daughters or
their wives with them, but the single women would
not come by themselves. The object of this society
was not to pay the expenses of e~migrants from Italy,
he believed, but rather to protect them from the
hands of agents, who frequently victimized these
people,
