EMIGRATION 70 AMERICA.

LONDON, March 8.-Adyices from Switz
erland, Germany and Austria indicate
that emigration from these countries h
the United States during the coming
spring and summer will be unusually
large, and that emigrants will be mainly
composed OF class Of people having con,
siderable amounts Of capital at their dis.
posal.
In Germany, although the Government
has sedulously prohibited publication d
information respecting emigration, and
has arbitrarily intertered with the work Of
emigration agents, no little progress has
been made in the matter Of form.

Of emigrants from Germany, Syttz.
erland and Austria will 90 as
colonists, each group being under tAe
management Of a director Some OF the
associations have everything arranged for
their settlement in the United States. The
land which they ar. to occupy has already
been selected, and preparations for It's
immediate cultivation and the erection Of
the necessary buildings upon 1t are either
completed or in process OF completion.
FromSwitzerland u large number OF young
men, mostly unmarried, are leaving the
Cantons OF Berne and Zurich for America.
One colony Is bound for Georgia, under
the leadership OF Swiss farmer,
who had long been settled in the United
States, and who recently returned to
Switzerland for the purpose Of bringing
out number Of his countrymen. Not a
few OF the Austrian and German emigrants
are destined for the new Catholic colonies
in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Others
have arranged for the purchase Of rail.
road lands along the line Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, near Bismarck, the pres.
ent terminus OF the road. In many in.

stated on good authority that the majority

Fifth Congress.
WASHINGTON.
A CONVERSATION WITH rup PRESIDENT.

A CONVERSATION WITH TUE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-It having been
mentioned by visitor to the President
to-day that some surprise was expressed at
his calling an extra session SO soon after
adjournment, the President replied: The
proclamation for that purpose was issued
on the information that the earliest
practicable moment would be acceptable
TO majority Of the members elect. The
President was indispOsed to converse on
the subject Of the declared object Of the
Democrats, through Senator BeclSto in.
siSt on the enaettnegt' ofscertain measures
as the condition for gfanting supplies.
He had not yet seen The Programme, and
therefore could not pass an opinion on it,
but he could not believe, In the absence
ot such information, that any revolution
ary movements were contemplated.
Although there is no semi-ofiicial basis
for ortheannouncement, there is reason to be-
lieve that the Presidents message to Con-
gress will be brief and confined To the
subjects for which it is to be convened, and
that he will at the instance OF the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, ask tIiatemeasures be
adopted toEtIie increae OF the revenue,
it'having. been decreased toothc extent OF
ten millions OF dollars, by the passage OF
the tobacco bill. The Secretary said to.
day but for this he would have twenty
eight millions OF surplus in the revenue,
with which to pay the arrears OF pensions,
recently authorized by Congress.

Reichstag, who, in consequence OF his
office, is considered authority on the sub

sldered that the bill aimed at excluding
them from the Reichstag rs much as pos.
sible, even before elections, and destroy
ing all Parliamentary freedom OF speech.
He related how Bismarck had once pre-.
vented him from speaking in the Rcichs-
tag, and how, when he subsequently pub.
lished pamphlet TO explain his views,
he was sent to prison. He ironically sue.

He mentioned an itcm in the Sundry

Congress, after adopting many
reasonable means of removing the
absolute power from those who are
at the head of this government in
perpetuating themselves in power by
force, now appeals from that power
to the patriotism of the people. The
course adopted by the present Con-
gress is a protest against the efforts
to control elections by paid emissa-
ries of the Republican party in the
form of Deputy Marshals, and is an
appeal to the poole to correct the
evil by r%epudiating the party that
endorses the Presidential fraud in
his opposition to a "free ballot and
a fair count"

One of the deputies whom Mar
shall Kearns, of Philadelphia, select
ed to protect the ballot from lawless
and desperate men in said city last
year was Brown, the twenty Timer,
who had been convicted in the Unit
ed States Court of voting for Grant
twenty times at the election in 1872.
Three others of his deputies were
ESlayin, Lamb and Redding, who con-
fessed before a Committee of the
Legislature some years ago that they
were professional repeaters. And
because a Democratic Congress re-
fuses to vote the peoples money to
pay such scoundrels for their vii
lainy, the Republican press keep up
o continual howl about confederate
Brigadiers," and undertake to pre-.
|judice the honest masses against all
Democrats. We have an idea thai
the people will be able to c and un'
derstand the 'strue inwardness" o.
these sen useless bowls before the
October election arrives.

1t is astonishing how very few
soldiers knew that Mosby and Long
street held office under the Republi-
can administration. A member of
the 54th Ohio said to US the other
day: "Well, 1 am now convinced
you stated the truth about Long
street and Mosby getting their ap-
p%ointments from Republicans
"For the editor of the Register to
abuse Democrats about jeff Davis or
Confederate Brigadiers, is very in:
consistent" "Why, I would just as
soon, and sooner 1 believe, vote for
jeff Davis than that Internal cut
throat and bushwhacker Mosby!'
That is the feeling with all the
soldiers we have heard express them
selves about the matter, and the
howl against Democrats about Con-
federate Brigadiers, only excites dis
gust among the sensible ones.

The New York Sun is strongly in

nomination of General Ewing for
Governor of Ohio appears 10 have
been accomplished by that instinct
of the masses which is unerring, and
which surpasses in wisdom the Gun;
ningly devised plans of astute poll
L%icians, which it often overthrows,
Ewing was nominated because he

CAMDEN, June the Both, 1879,
Mr.. Gould, SRI see in your
paper of the 10Th inst, under the
head of Republican County Conyen
ton, some statements of what l said
in reference to the nomination OF
certain candidates which ] emphat
ically deny saying. After speaking
of the "bloody shirt" speech as you
call it, you say. "He says, the nom
ination of Young for Commissioner,
is too thin a plaster to cover the
whole sore, and that if a good man
is selected against Cooper Somers
Township will give but a small ma
jority for the nominee" Now have
no objection to what You maycsay
about my "bloody shirt speech, for
[ believe you never did like a bloody
shirt, or n blue coat either, hut
object most seriously to what YOU
saw fit To put into my mouth abou:
Messrs. Young and Cooper, for
never made any such a statement t.
any one, hut on the contrary en-
dorse both the nominees, and you
will find that Somers Township will
give them a fair majority this fall.
Yours, JAMES l.. Thomas.

Were every Louisiana politician
to be corralled in a penitentiary, but
very few would get more than their
just deserts. And from this sink OF
political iniquity arises the foul
smelling title of Hayes to the Presi.
deucy. Every one of the fraudulent
votes of Louisiana was required to
keep good his majority of one in the
Electoral college.
