The EmiErating Workmen.

A recent advertisement in the morning
papers called for $50 masOns and stOnecut-
tiers to go to Scotland on promise of con-
slant employment and good wages, and at
an early hour yesterday pier No. AZ North
river, the dock of the State Line Steamship
Company was crowded with men eager to
be numbered among the lucky emigrants.
Tenpence an hour was the stipulated pay,
and the advertisers could have taken a ship
load of willing workmen at that offer. Three
times the required number were on hand
yesterday morning, some with their chests
of tools and clothing, some without any
baggage at all, and some carrying their bun
dies under their arms. All were provided
with references from former employers,
but those who belonged to the masOns or
stonecutters' Society we're passed upon
throng that a platoon of police had to be
stationed outside the gates of the dock,
and no one allowed to go inside without
proper credentials. Several hours were
consumed in getting the proper men
passed and the necessary papers made out.
Good order was preserved, and exactly at
twelve O'Clock the steamer Pennsylvania
left her dock with her regular passengers,
intending to wait for her tender, the Only
Son, at quarantine, and there take on board
the volunteer w0rkmen. Soon after the
departure of the steamer the men we're
taken upon the tender and carried down
the river.
Mr.. j. w. Abbott, who has had charge of
the matter, said to the World reporter:
"These men are mssons and stOnecutters,
and are going to work for Messrs. John
Coghill & Sons, of Greenock," where they
are to be employed. The Messrs. Coghill
are large contractors, and have received q
contract for erecting nu mber of psrochial
buildings and docks, and also to finish the
Caledonian railroad in Scotland. At the
present time the building trade is very
brisk across the Atlantic, and good work.
men can not be found in sufficient number.
They will thus receive seven shillings and
six pence Q day, or two pounds five shil.
lings weekly, which is considered good
wages on the other side, the cost of living
being very small.
On the seventh Of September tho Virginia
will take out fifty more masons from
Chicago, and by the next steamer, Indiana
100 more will be sent out to Join those who

Hints to Rice Planters.
KENNER, La, September 2, 1876.

KENNER, La, September 2, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Will you please be so kind as to present
my compliments to the rice planters of
Louisiana, and to say that, in my opinion,
many of them thresh their rice too green;
that the rice should be ripe when cut; that
it should then be put in small wind cocks
and allowed several days in the sun and
air, SO as to be thoroughly cured; it should
then be stacked or put in q barn, and al
lowed time to ''sweat" and cool of. It must
"sweat" somewhere, and if not allowed
time in the stack, it will "sweat" in the
sack; and if not there, after being milled it
will sweat in the barrel and spoil.
Louisiana rice is, as think, superior to
any other; and if our planters will take as
much care in harvesting it az they do their
the individual planter and the State at
large will be benefited thereby.

A story About Prentice.

An excellent and honOred citizen Of
Louisville was going home, one night,
tipsy for the first and last time in his life,
as he protests. and no doubt truly, when
he met Prentice Keeling from one side of
the walk to the other. "Prentice." ex-
claimed the elated novice, I'm drunk "
Staggered anew by this amazing announce
ment, the veteran slowly drew himself up,
with the aid of neighboring picket, and
surveying his disguised friend, said severe.
~: swell, josh. have been guilty in my
time of many scandalous things, and some
outrageous ones. and some id mean ones,
but, thank God, 1 never was drunk -

SENSIBLE FOR THE BULLETIN. - Our
neighbor occasionally sprouts . good idea.
For instance: "Whst can show the tender
regard for deceased relative more than q
$500 funeral, even if the widow has to Dor.
row market money for the next day7" Not
many weeks ago several gentlemen attend
ed the funeral of an acquaintance who had
left his family in utter poverty. One of the
party proposed to his friends that instead
Of paying something like $75 for carriage
hire they collect the money and present it
to the widow. The disconsolate was in
formed of the proposition, but she fatty re-
fused to entertain the thought; Q large
funeral was more to her than market m oney,
although she knew not where her next din
ner was to come from.

A Swindle of Democratic Days.

An examination by the Indian Office of
the questions pending between North Caro-
lima and the Western Cherokees has led to
the unearthing of Democratic swindle ex-
tending through three administrations, and
amounting to over $3,000,O00. The money
stolen was appropriated by Congress at
various times in connection with the re-
moval of the Cherokees from Northern
Georgia and vicinity to the Indian Terri
tory. A good portion of the money appro.
pristed under the treaty of removal went
into the hands of those in the Democratic
ring which managed the affair, and which
throueh the administrations Of Presidents
polk. Pierce and Buchanan, continued to
press claims, present bills, and secure ap-
propristions for expenses incurred in the re-
in many cases was only $40 per head. from
$50 to 500 was charged, and in the bills
for removals fictitious numbers of Indians
we're submitted and allowed. The investi.
cation thus far has involved . number OF
Democrats politicians Of the administra-
tions named, and has shown that the money
stolen outright was not less than 100000.

POLITICAL CoURTEsIEs-The Democratic
clubs were out in full force last night, and
for hours there was . continual marching,
glare of torches and blowing of wind in
struments So also were the Antoine Guards
and Cadets, and ~ they met several of the
clubs, mutual courtesies were exchanged,
which should be more frequent.
As the Republican clubs marched, the
first Democratic club they met was the Til
den Cadets. The latter set the example by
. salute. which was returned, and which
made everything pleasant.
During the serensde of the REPUBLICAN
office large body OF Democrats came down
Camp street. on their way to serenade their
friends. The Republicans instantly faced
about, opened ranks, and presented torches
or uncovered while their opponents passed
through, their officers ealuting.
Among other Democratic clubs parsding
were the Skidmore Guards and the Old
Spots Club, the marshal of the latter, NJ. C..
Reyes enforcing discipline at one time in
q very communicable way.

THE UNIVERSAL METRIC SYSTEM. Bv AL.
fred Colin, NJ. E. New York: D. Apple
ton & Co.
This is q thin, but excellently prepared
volume of fifty pages. In his short, seven
line preface. the author truly says, that
after q careful reading of this work no
book employing this system will present
the least difficulty. 1t is admirable in every
respect. One page only is devoted to an
introduction, stating the aims of the sys-
tenn. The rest Is entirely practical. The
units, metre of length, square metre and
arc of surface, cubic metre and steve of
volume, litre of capacity and gramme of
weight, with their multiples, decu 10, hectic
100, kilo 1000, and myria 10000 and sub
multiples deci OIL, cent? .0l, MILL .O0l, are
first presented, and every possible combi
nation shown. Especial pains is taken to
show their exact relationship to our meas
ures. In general. England and America
adhere to their old system; but the imperial
standard of one and the custom of the
other are rapidly giving way to the conve-
nient new French system, which promises
to become really universal. About eighteen
pages are devoted to problems. The work
shows great labor, a thorough understand.
ing of the subject, and is of great value to
all readers.
DARw1N1ANA: Essays and Reviews Pertain
ing to Darwinism. By Asa Gray, Fisher
professor of natural history (botany) in
Harvard University. New York: D. Ap.
pleton & Co.
The essays of this volume, with two ex.
ceptions, were written for various periodi-
calls during the past sixteen years, and are
reprinted almost without change. Many
notes are, however, added. The argument
of the volume is directed against the
theories of Darwin. But Professor Gray
finds more in his works to commend than
to condemn. He does not undertake gen.
eral discussion of evolution. but presents
tho opinions of a practical naturalist on the
new views as regards their bearings in the
special problems of botany. The thirteen
articles are full of thought, and present
evidences of great research. The style is
excellent, well suited to the taste that
chooses to combine instruction with amuse-
ment.

natured paragraph concerning the conduct
OF . Customhouse inspector. 1t seems that
foreign steamship brought . casket con.

cor was in duty bound, no matter how dis.
agreeable the task, to learn exactly what
the case contained. For all he knew the

for him t. pursue was to make formal in
