The Collapse OF the Emigrant Conn
mission.

At this moment the Emigrant Commits
sioners for the state OF New York are
practically dcfuuct, smittcn to death by
the United States supreme Court. by
unanimous decision the tribunal OF last
resort has pronounced unconstitutional
the species Of head money levied undcrun
act Of our Legislature on every cmigrant,
or rather on the steamship which carried
him. Now it is emphatically true Of COM
missions, boards, aud public fmctionaries
I'm general, that YOU take their lives wheu
you take the means whereby they live.
OF course the steamship companies Will
not pay another dollar, and Will probably
seek to recover the moneys hitherto ex-
torted 10y improper legislation. Mean
while, the functions of the Commission are
arrested for want of funds, aud the elabo-
rate and on the whole praiseworthy sys-
TEN devised for the reception, safe keeping,
and safe conduct Of emigrants must needs
collapse. The hospitable doors OF Castle
Garden will be closed, and the bcwildered
emierant henccforth abandoned TO the
mercies of the ticket swindler and the
bonrdiuG-house shark.
This dcplorable result must inevitably
follow the judgment of the Supreme Court
unless the Legislature now in session takes
immediate aud judcious steps to meet the
exigency. No time is to he lost. In one
way or another funds must be provide d
for the Emigraut Commission, or We shall
see the suffering and pluuderng OF an
earlier day immensely broadened and ag-
gravated, until the tide of emigration is
decisively checked, or ut all events divert
ed from the port of New York.
Whether the present Commission shall
be continued and its expenses betrayed by
the state, or whether new board shall bc
created, to be named and supported bv the
city of New York, is IA question of second
airy importance. But it is of vital conse-
quence TO the city, state. ana country at
large that this Legislature should not ad
journ without taking thought FOR the we'll
being and protection of emigrants during
the current year.
II our friends in Albany are not yet alive
to the urgency of this measure. we viii
add one word in their ear. Should they
daily and potter too long over the bust
ness, Congress may take it into its own
hands. We beg of them to save us from
the incubus of another batch of Federal
officials

misgovernment, extravagauce, and down.
right profligacy. IL does not help the
matter to deuounce the prodigals and
profigatcs who have got the country into
this painful and ruinous dilemma. II is in
vain, except to point moral, that we
excaim against the fraud, corruption,
and rapacity which have brought us whore
we are. The fact that the country has been
victimized ny an ahominable system OF ex-
travagant. larcenous, and fraudulent NAL
administration, from its highest TO its low
est authorities, such rs was perhaps never
known before at any time or among any
people, certainly under no constitutional
government, or government Of popular
opinion, in no way relieves us Of the conse-
queuces OF such debauchery There Is
nothing left forus but to face the situation,
and see what is possible in the way of
Moderation.
There is one thing, and IL Is the first
thing to he considered and attempted.
This l. the sudden and prompt stoppage Of
further wastcful expenditure. womust ar
rest the business of getting into debt. A
year ago, Massachusetts set "A good example
by an act of her Legislature, applying the
brakes 10 Iurtner muulclphi inuepIheht'
IL stopped the towns and cities within
fixed limit, and provided for early and
comparatively rapid repayment where
that limit had been exceeded. IL embodied
public Judgment, which could not be APP
piled under the wretchcd system of So
called sclf-governmcnt OF the municipal
corporations, under which half a dozen
irresponsible individuals in each were ca
pable of the most fragrant assaults on the
public treasury.
Either 10y following this example, or
in some other way this first and most
necessary step should he resolutcly taken.
Not to stop, is to involve the country IN
total ruin. When taxation becomes 80
great as To destroy or menace the existence
of diversified industry among us, our com
plcte bankruptcy is not very far of.

Mrs Gen. Benton, referred to by Ben
Butler A. a mysterious witness, and who will. in
a few days. be snug IN Mexico, was, in her maid
en- days, Mildred White OF Mobile. Gen Benton
was from Richmond, Indiana. Mildred, when
eighteen, IL described "a "a glorious brunette,
with dash of the oriental In her tastes and
TEMPERAMENT, as well As appearance A tribe
above the average height, her form was rather
larger than the standard of beauty might ask,
but SO perfectly proportioned that change
would seem defect; sparkling black eyes,

bright and winning face. Here symmetry and
beauty ended. for her temperament couformed
To NJ rules or standaid. Soc WAS full Of excen-
tricities, and much of what might be called
genius For one OF her ercentricilies, Mildred
was a rebel at all times ana under all ctrcuni-
stauces-she talked rebel and acted rebel and
would not be kept down"
The fair Mildred aud Cen. Benton became nc
quainted M Baton Rouge, aud after Their mar
rage he was not 50 interesting until she lost
her husband. We quote acain
after the Generals death his willy and DASH

The Connecticut Election.

On the first Monday of April. or nine days
hence. there win be an election In Connect
tcut for Governor and other State officers,
and for "A legislature which Will choose II
Senator to I'll the uneXpircd term of FEH-
ny, Republican, deceased, whose seat is
temporarily occupied 10y ENGIIsH, Demo-
crat, and for member Of Congress in the
New London district IN room of STARK
WEATHER, Republican,, likewise deceased.
Though for these reasons the contest Is of
unusual importance To Connecticut, out
side OF the State the result will be regard
ed chi, fly for its bearings upon the Prosi-
DENTAL campaign.
New Hampfirc was n state which the
Republicans could not AFFORD To lose. Con-
necticut is state which the Democrats
must not fail to carry. After the Repuh-
licau party was organized Connecticut al
ways went for the Republicans till April.
1867, when II elected n Democratic Cover
nor by the small ma ioritv of pS7. The next
April il elected Democratic Governor by
majority of 1.iGj. But in the following
November il gave GRANT Il majority of
3.Oi1. The state now became unstable III
Its politics, ana for four years the ma
a
elections were very small. In 1850 the Re
publicans elected the Governor by All, in
1870 the Democrats succeeded by Si3, IN ISL
the Republicans got bare plurality of
100. and in 1872 they obtained an absolute
majority Of only p. But in November
GRANT carried the State by a majority of
l,3l9.
permanent change then took place in
the State At the last three April elections
the Democrats have been success sful IN the
contest for Governor They have beaten
the Republican candidates by large plural
titles, while their absolute mai ulities against
all opposition have been substantial. Last
April the plurality of INuERsoLi. Demo-
cratic nominee for q overnor, over GREENE,
Republican, was 9,4s0, while his ma ority
over the combined vote of the Republican
and Temperance candidates was G,53s.
This, however, hardly exhibits the full
Republican strength for GREENE was per-
sonally unpopular. The vote on members
of Congress affords another test. The
Democratic plurality on the aggregate vote
Cor the four members was 3,,9j, aud the
absolute majority l,i05.
Tho Democrats confidently claim Cop-
necticut as one OF the States which will
support their nominee for the Presidency
In November Indeed, III their carefully
prepared tables of probable results its SIX
electoral votes are generally found urce--
bary 10 turn the scale in their favor. For
this reason they cannot safely lose the
State now. The Republicans are working
pretty hard, but we think the tide drifts
toward the Democracy.

ed $50 miles, or the entire coast length Of
Egypt 1t is reasonable enough that French
engineers VINO have reproduced in this
century one great achievement oil the
pHARAons, should engage to emulate an
other.
Reservoirs. however, are only palliatives.
Another projcctc remedy exacts time Tor
its effective application, but goes directly
~ the root OF the difficulty. IL IL generally
conceded that the awful suddvnness and
vchcmcucc of modern foundations COM
pared with those Of former times, are due
to the wholesale destruction Of forests and
the consequent multiplication of naked
slopes and gradients. Not that the aggre-
gate rainfall Is less I'm n densely wooded
country; on the contrary 1t is greater;
but it's equally distributed. Aud although

TO fortify anew the spurs and sides OF the
Pyrcnccs with that rampant of trees
which avnrice and ignorance had levclled,
has been made the settled policy of the
government. A scheme of planting on an
extended scale has lately been uaugurated
which, in spite of checks experienced from
the habits and prciudices Of n grazing pop
ulation, is thought TO promise the most
salutary results.
The hills and uplnnds which cradle the
headwatcrs of our eastern rivers have not
yet been wholly denuded of their native
woods. The process Of stripping, how
ever. goes on npace, regulated only by the
temporary interest, or caprice, OF reckless
owners. l. il not high time that public
opinion should recognize the untoward
bcaripg of such improvidence on the ques-
ton of inuudations, and set bounds to
that uprooting OF American forests. whose
sequel may one day duplicate the disasters

A Last Chance for Gen. Grant.

There seems to be an opinion prevalent
that TUE Sun has been preiudiced against
Gen. GRANT. This is an entire mistake. All
our preiudices have been in his favor. Tie

has Just occurred. The President was
quite right in sending to Canada for the
abscondng witness, MARSH, such propo-
sition rs would induce him to return. And
the President, by adopting tins method at
our suggestion, would seem to show that
he has no prejudice against THE SIN.
Why should he have? We have always
spoken of him with entire candor; and
have never given him any but good ad-
vice. II he had always followed our coun-
sells, how much more enviable his condi-
ton would now he!
Now that Gen. GRANT has taken one wise
step, let him follow it with another. lie
has indicated n disposition to cut loose
from ms Old surroundings by disclaiming
all knowledge of the Attorney G eneral's
Objectionable letter TO the District Attor-
neys until after its publication. He can
now. quite consistently, go over to the
support of the only reiormer IN his Cabi-
net, Mr.. BRIsTow. To be sure it might not
do Mr.. BRIsTOw any good; but 1t would
be great benefit to the reputation of the
President,
