ninth annual Convention of the
Superintendents of the Poor of the
State meets at Saratoga September
I'd. Commissioner Forest and Su-
perintendent Jackson, of the Emil
grafton Board, will be among the
delegates and will again present
the subject for national legislation.
In regard to immigration, the rec.
ords show that of 5000, 900 lmmi-
grants arriving here since 1S47, the
strong and vigorous have sought
the West and the poorer and less
enterprising have remained at or
near the port of arrival. This is
especially the case with the indo.
lent, diseased, criminals and pau.
pers, who have become a burden
and who have been supported by
the State. The Commissioner will
again seek for the passage of a ma
tional law to protect worthy immi-
grants and to return all lunatics,
criminals. etc. The records show
that Of 100000 immigrants ar
riving since 1855, 100000 went di.
rect to the Western States. The
Advertiser says: Up to January l,
1879, the number of aliens who inn
migrated to Colorado via New
York was 1856 persons, of whom
$40 went from here during 1878.
Most of these were miners. An i'll
ducement is being held out by in
dividuals to induce miners to settle
in Colorado, but latterly they have
been turning their attention to

New YORK, August 23d.-The
Times, defending itself against the
Tribune and Herald for its course
In the Sprague-Conkling affair, de-
clares that during tue past two
years there has been In Washing
ton an open, fagrant scandal con-
cerning the relations of a vain,
am bilious and indiscreet woman
and an equally vain, ambitious and
indiscreet Senator. Decent and
conservative people have looked on
with real grief. They have seen a
foolish woman "throw herself at
the head" of a man who had not
self-respect or manliness enough to
hold up q hand of warning and
chivalrous remonstrance. For two
years or more this thing has been
repeated to daily newspapers of
New York and been persisteutly
suppressed. In the course of time

guised, open and notorious atten-
ton to a married woman had not
only brought great scandal upon
himself, but bad clouded the fair
name of the unfortunate lady, pre-

by an abnormal egotism, 1T was to
him delicious to know that the
vain world gave him credit for
dragging at the tail of his chariot
a beautiful woman of historic line.

warnings and the whisperings of
gossip, the Senator persisted in his
visits to lady whose reputation
he had already Blurred; and when
other avenues of communication
were closed he sought her out In
her own home in New England,
giving emphasis to his acts by
choosing time when the good
man of the house was away. The
husband returned, and for the first
time since this unwholesome scan
dal began to simmer, the three
principal actors concerned therein
forced it into the newspapers by q
personal quarrel, which must needs
attract public attention. AT least
one of the actors in this melodrama
was a public person. He was a
Senator; and though an indulgent
and well-mannered press had re-
