Mr.. Francis Fontaine, the Commissioner
OF immigration for Georgia, showed re-
Gently in the New York Sun what great
inducements that State offers to new set.
tiers. Yet, with immigration going on at
the rate Of two thousand day, it is i'm
possible for him to get score OF domestic
servants for Georgia. The freshly landed
Germans, scandinavians, English and
Irish are crowding the trains for the West,
ten or fifteen thousand proceeding thither
weekly. But it is hard to get car load Of
them for the South.
In Virginia, in Georgia, in North Caro-.
lima, and other Southern States, there is
an abundance Of mineral wealth which
needs development. Moreover, an In

require the building Of new railroads,

Of ordinary roads, which are now in
a bad state throughout the South. In
market gardening alone thousands Of Ger
mans, who understand economical agri-
culture, could speedily earn comfortable
living in the many favorable localities
along the Atlantic coast.
And yet immigrants shun the South.
Mr.. John Bright says it is because the old
temper Of the people continues to exist
and unquestionably there is feeling

TIE Tilden programme at Cincinnati
has been outlined. When the formal pre-
sentation of names OF candidates to the
convention Is commenced grand shout
for the "old ticket OF 1875" will straight
way be heard from among the Tilden
delegates. The speeches Of the gentlemen
selected to move and second the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Tilden will not be so much
devoted to enlarging upon the merits and
claims Of that statesman as to studied en-
treaties for the victims Of disappointment
OF four years ago. Knowing that he can
not receive the nomination by reason Of
individual fitness, Mr.. Tilden seeks to OBJ
tain it by his hypocritical appeal to the
sympathies OF the convention. The idea
is to cause stampede to Tilden and Hem
bricks. The ingenuity of the scheme is in
proportion to the desperate condition in
which its author finds himself.

GENERAL GARFIELD is believer in the
law of average, AT conference OF the
Sherman, Edmunds and Window lead
ers in Chicago on the Sunday evening be-
fore the balloting began, he asked the nine
gentlemen present to say how many votes
in their judgment Grant and Blaine would
each receive on the first ballot. He divi-
ded the average by nine and found that
the average allowed Grant was S02 and
Blaine 2s2. The first vote taken the next
morning showed SO4 for Grant and 2s4 for
Blaine. General Garfield has kept the
paper containing the estimates, and ex-
.hibits 1t as a striking illustration of the
close working OF the rule.
