MORALITY II PoLIEICs. two chief
consp:rators in the crime OF the Louisiana
returning board, Wells Nand Anderson,
are wal.zing about the country on their
way to Washington, when they ought to
be On their way TO the penitentiary. The
better part Of the people Of the United
States will never rest satisfied until these
men, and al connected with them in the
perpetration Of the crime they committed,
are made to devote the balance of their
ili-spent lives to the service Of the state
Of Louisiana as convicts in her peniten-
tiary. If there be any morality IN politics,
or virtue In the laws for the maintenance
OF good government, or power in the pop
liar voice, eypiatlon viii have to be made
for this great public wrong. If criminals
and scoundrels, and men who have sold
themselves 10 the devil for the gratifca-
ton of selfish purposes are to influence
and control the politics OF the country, it
is high time the people We're preparing for

THE "BLoop-RErATIoN" ORDER
retary Sherman is TO doubt convincedby
this time that his order forbidding two or
more persons of the same family to hold
positions in the treasury department was
mistake. His personal pride has per
haps prevented his revoking the order. but
assistant secretary Mccormick explains
how he gets round it. He says that the
effect of the order has been mit;gated in
many cases by exchanges with other de-
partments. Thus, where valuable clerk
has been discharged from the treasury de-
partment becausesomerelatTe is retained,
the discharged clerk has been allowed to
find a clerk in the interior, or some other
department. and exchange positions, pro-
v;ded the clerk with whom The exchange
is made is not from state having more
than its quota in the treasury department.
In this manner the force Of the order is
modified, and the hardship worked is not
as kcenly felt as it was III the beginning.

GERMAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS pub
lished in Germany show that from lS45 to
1876. both years inclusive. the number OF
persous who emigrated from that country to
the United States was :, 6S5, 430 A signih-
cant fact, strikingly proved by the statistics,
is that the emigration has at different times
largely increased when there was prospect OF
a general European war Thus In 1854 the
year in which the Crimean war began, pa
600 Germans left for the United States. Al
ter the peace the emigration declined very
much bat again in lS6a. when chances OF
war between Prussia and Austria became
strong, the rush was renewed. Again was
emigration stimulated by the war with
France; and it appears very ecnclusively
that the critical relations that exist between
France and Germany still, which it is feared
may at any time precipitate war, act pow
crfuily to promote emigration In all Zines
. very large proportion of the emigrants
have been young men who wished to escape
a CALLING military scrrice and the chances of
war. German authority computes the whole
number at above one million strong men, OF
which Prussia alone has furnished 500, OOO,
losing that number of soldiers.

The Fire Lest Night.

ABOUT l o'clock this morning an
alarm of fire was sounded and Jones's
Hall, an immense old frame rookery,
was discovered 10 be in flames. It
burned like Under and was soc de.
stroyed, but in the meantime sci fire
to Mr.. Reis's fine residence, northeast
corner Of jackson and Cherry, which
was past saving by the time the en-.
gines got water. From Mr.. Reis's
house the fire communicated to the
residence of Mr.. Sinsheimer, south Of
Ries's, on Cherry, owned by DR..
John r. Hicks, and at this writing,
q o'clock there appears TO be no pros
pect of saving it. Mr.. Ries had insur-
anc to the amount of $2,500 on the
building, which is valued at about g..
900. Mr.. L. Hirsch, who occupied q
portion Of Mr.. Reis's house, had $l,L00
insuranc on his furniture. Nearly all
the furniture was taken out of the
building, but In a damaged condition.
DR.. Hicks's house is valued at about
$4,000. We could not ascertain the lat.
ter's insurance. The origin of the
fire is unknown. The front room
of Jones's Hall was occupied by O me-
gro barber-shop, but we believe no one
was In the building when the fire was
discovered. The Goals Of fire fell go
thickly on the roofs of the houses in
the neighborhoOd that ii was with great
difficulty the FIRE was prevented from
spreading over q much greater space.
The Main street public school-house
caught fire In three places, as did the
Brungard house, corner Main and

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5--The news OF the
troubles In ElPaso county, Texas, and the
telegram ofGCV. Hubbard to the President
calling Tor assistance from the United
States for the purpose Ofre elllng invasion
OF Texan territory by Mexican forces,
caused some excitement, but the adVices
Of our Government do not warrant the
impression that any difficulties other than
merely local troubles have pre-
sented themselves. There is no
idea whatever that the Mexican Gov
ernment Is making any possible demon
siratiOn, but so lar as can be learned the
unirlendly movements are OF the same ma.
ture as those made tie subject Of attention
from the War Department some months
ago. The Government does not consider
that the troubles reported to-day are in
aay degree international, The dispatches
were, however, promptly referred to the
Secretary Of War, who, after consultation
with Gen. Sherman, gave directions for the
mastering Of our forces In Texas In such
positions as to give whatever aid may be
necessary to prevent assaults upon Amer.
lean c~itizents or their property.
