rs GENERAL GRANT INSANE?
A Washington special to the New
Orleans Times says For three month
There have been curious stories told
about General 6 rant. and his conduct
at various places, which excited the
astonishment, to say the least,of the
punctiIlous Courts of Europe. Some
scandal was oecasioned by the re-
production Of part of paragraph
from a Spanish journal, at the time
of Grants visit to Spain, which
specifically asserted that he was in
toxicated while at the Escurial, and
in such way as to make it notice
aOle to every one present. Other
things have occurred which the most
lenient charity could not condone.
aud very much scandal has occurred
in European Courts in consequence.
An officer Of very high rank in one
of the services Of the United States,
who has just returned from one of
the countries visited by Grant, fur
nishes an explanation which entities

pity of the eountry rather than to
its sneers. The story, substantial

officer added that these facts had

EMIGRATION FROM GREAT BRIrAIX.-The
statistics Of emigration from the United
Kingdom for a period OF years have recent
~ been published and are curious as
showing the relation between emigration
and national prosperity. They illustrate
also, more or less plainly, the reflex tide
OF emigrants from this country under the
pressure Of hard times. In the eightyears
from 1871 to 1873 the total number OF emf
grants from Great Britain was 1868, $40;
the number OF immigrants and returning
cmIgrants was 67G,l37, leaving for net
emigration l,OO2,S02. In the four years
from 1871 to 1874, when flush times still
continued in Great Britain, but when the
breakdown had already begun in this
country, the emigrants were l,O90,274, the
immigrants 99S,553, the net emigration
TO72l. In the four years from 1875 to
1878, the emigrants were 57O,G65, the i'm
migrants 1854, and the net emigrat ion
232,0Sl. In 1875 the breakdown in pro-
ductlon began in Great Britain, but the
next two years, 1876 and 1877, shows the
lowest not emigration, being only 1895
and SS,l2S, respectively. In 1875 the net
immigration rose to G0,7l2. These figures
seem to show that it is prosperity in the
United States and the British colonies
rather than hard times in Great Britain
which induces emigration from that coun-
try. The greatest emigration in the whole
eight years was in 1872, when the flush
times existed in both countries equally.
In that year the net emigration was 225,-
0S9, and tho number OF emigrants return
ing only 7O,lSl. 1t is noticeable that the
reflex tide in tho years lS75.7S was more
than it was in the years lS7l-74, although
the total emigration in the second period
was only about half as great as in the
former.

Tho Negro IIcrira from the South,

It's plain to be seen that the Louisiana
papers are very much exercised yer the
negro exodus from several OF the parishes
of that State to Kansas and other parts Of
the North. They regard it rs a great
calamity, and, more than that, as possible
impending ruin to numberlcss plantations
and planters. The New Orleans Times
makes no concealment OF the fact that the
most serious and alarming consequences
to the State are threatened by tho move.

any number OF plantations will be entirely
