An examination Of the records at the
Treasury Department shows that since

Of g,Ss0.193 aliens came TO the United
States. ii is only since lS4j. however,
that this influx of foreigners has assum.
ed remarkably large proportions Since
that date on but two occasions llS6l

have landed at Castle Garden. A..

thirty.six per cent. Irish and the re.

been brought TO our shores by the i'm

THE persistent effort of the stall
warts to misrepresent the position of
the Democrats in Congress on the
claim of the Executive TO use the army
at elections meets with many rebukes
from the Independent press of the
country. A late number of the Phila-
delphia Record states the entire case
with directness and precision. 1t re-
marks that :" some of the Republican
journals, and notably Harpers Weekly,
wrongfully assume that the proposal to
forbid the use of the army as a police
to aid the Federal authorities in inter-
fering with the conduct of elections is
an attack upon the prerogative of the
Executive as regards his right to en-
ploy the troops to compel submission
to the United States laws. The error
here is already above the ridiculous.
So far as we are aware, no one is so
bold, since Appomattox, as to main
tain that the General Government Is
powcrless to enforce its own laws. BY
assuming that this is the point of at
tack the friends of strong govern
ment evade the real issue, which is that
the President il debarred, under the
Constitution, from interfering with the
execution of State laws, except when
assistance is asked by the Governor of
a particular State. The election laws
emanate from the States, and with
their administration the Federal au-
thorities, under our system of govern
ment, should have nothing to do.
This il the real issue, and on this prop
osition we believe that the sentiment
of the country is on the side of the
majority in Congress.

THE Pennsylvania Legislature has

ed the funeral of the Radical party

tary pledge, given in the veto message,
that no soldiers shall be present at the
polls to perform the duties of the civil
police force, "under orders from me
during this administration" Perhaps
not, but the country would feel much
better assured on the subject if the
pledge bad come from Conkling and
Chandler, who dictated the veto for
the two-fold purpose Of bringing the
administration into public contempt
and to deepen the political commissions
which are expected TO recall Grant to
n third-tcrm.
1t is diliiculttomea at this ear
ly day the consequences of this unfor-
tunate veto 1t is of little moment in
itself, for the country could probably
60 along through another national
campaign without having to meet the
exercise Of arbitrary military power
at the election; but when it is consid-
cred that the President has ncedlessly
presented the hitherto abandoned is
sue Of bayonet elections rs the key
note of the next Presidential struggle,
and that he has wantonly destroyed
the last hope Of harmony between the
Executive and Congress when Con
gress had manfully met the Executive
on his own platform, there seem. to be
nothing left TO the country but the

sans would give the people"

The negro exodus seems to have
met the ebb tide, and the poor de-
luded victims of the "Emigrant Aid
Society" are now as anxious to re-
turn to their Southern homes, as they
were in pressing after the lands and
mules promised them in Kansas. As
many as can obtain means are now re-
turning with sad but rich expert
ence. There are still thousands of
poor unfortunates who have neither
the means of living in Kansas, or to
escape from the suffering brought upon
them by the heartless wretches who
induced them to go there. These
must be fed aud cared for by public
charity, and it is not difficult to inn
agine how sparing that will be dealt
out.

JOKES AT A DIsCouST.-The con.
stituents of Emile ]. Petrof, one Of
the joking members of the Legislature
from Philadelphia, have got up pc.
tition demanding his resignation.
This is one of the taoetious gentlemen
who was expelled from the House Of
Representatives in 1876 for jokes per-
petrated during the pendency of the
Boom bill, aud waS returned by an
dPpreciatiue constituency in 1877. 1t
appears, he has been practicing similar
jokes in the s4,0O0,0O0 Pittsburg Riot
bill. But his Republican constituents,
having become more grave, do not
seem to have the same high apprecia-
ton of the wonderful humor of their
virtuous representative. and want him
to "step down and out" that they
may employ another whose jokes are
not quite so stale and more in accord
with the present temper of his dis
trict.

OUg neighbor Of the Hatchman says
we had not seen Yocums last vote,
when We wrote our last weeks article.
That is true; the article was in type.
before the vote was given, aud Of
course We did not know it. Further
more, We had not seen any of the fu-
ture votes Of Mr.. Yocum, and have
no means of telling what they will be.
As he is not guided in his votes by his
past party affiliations, nor by any
known political principles, no one can
tell in advance how he is going to vote
on any given proposition, unless such
person would be in the personal con-
fdcnce of Mr.. Y. If our ncighb3r
across the way has this advantage, of
course he can beat Us in predicting
the votes of the member from the 10Th
district Of Pennsylvania. Yocum's
last vote, however, does not in any de-
gree change or qualify what We said
last week. II is but another t,rist in
the crOokcdness of his course in the
House. II is reported that when the
House is in committee of the whole.
where the yeas and nays cannot be
called, our representative votes persist
emily with the Republicans; and
when the same proposition comes he
fore the House where n record can he
made, he divides himself as equally as
he can between the two parties, not
knowing whether it may be good
lord" or "good devil" Possibly our
neighbOr is sufficiently in his conf
dence to explain this phenomenon.

keeping with his whole public career

in the Senate last Friday on the bill
