In the retirement of Col. Thomas
A. Scott from the presidency of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, American
railway management loses its most
famous name. Connected with the
Pennsylvania railroad from boyhood
the immense development in the ex
tent of the operations of that COM
pany is the history of his achieve
ments. The organization au65
tension of the vast business of thf
corporation bear everywhere the
stamp of his genius. In addition to
his labors in the service of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, he was manager
of other great enterprises, the mosl
prominent being the Texas Pacific
Railroad. Notwithstanding his great
capacity for work, his labors-which
during the years of depression sue
ceeding the panic, were aggravated
by innumerable anxieties-haveg grad
ually undermined his health. In the
latter part of 1878 he was COMPELLED
to relinquish his active duties, and
he spent nearly year in Europe, re-
turning with his health greatly i'm

him that complete cessation of work
is necessary for the restoration of his
health, and hence his resignation.

UNPRECEDENTED IMMIGRATION.
In the history of immigration at
the port of New York the month
that has just closed has never been
paralleled for the number of immi-
grant passengers that have been land
ed at Castle Garden. The largest
number ever received in one month
heretofore was in April, 1873 when
the total reached 42,743. This was
considered phenomenal, and the
ratio did not hold out during other
months of the year. The month of
April, 1880, will GO ON the record as
exceed ing even the remarkable
figures of 1873. Up to Friday even
ing the months arrivals at the immi-
grant landing depot were As, 273. The
significance of these figures lies in
the fact that they increase daily. and
that the prospect for May is for an
equally large immigration. This is
at the rate of over half million a
year and while there is no anticipa-
ton that our accessiOns from abroad
will reach that enormous aggregate,
it is quite within treason to suppose
that it may equal 100000. The emf.
grafton commissioners are basing
their estimates on total of $50, 900.

A Republican Congressman, talk
ing with tho New York Htralds
Washington correspondent. takes
very gloomy aspect of Republican
affairs. His claim, in short, is that
fifty nine Republican congressman,
with one or tive exceptions from
Northern and Western States, hold
their seats by "mere pluratities, or
by majorities so small that even a
GOODNESS in the party would leave
them out" The case is not, we be-
lieve, so bad as this Republican, who
confesses that he is ON the ragged
edge himself, would make out. Most
of those Republican congressman
who hold their seats by plurality
are from the West. There are twenty
such from Illinois, Indiana, and
Michigan alone. But it must e re-
membered that they were elected
during the height of the Greenback
fever. The elections last fall and this
spring show that the Greenback par
ty in the West has been virtually
wiped out so that there is no reason
to fear coalition of Democrats and
Greenbackers, which would defeat
these fifty-nlne Republicans when
they run for reelection. Indeed,
recent elections show that in the alb.
sorption of the third party in the
West by the two old parties the Re-
publicans have secured at least three
fourths of the third party votes. In
other districts, too, where two years
ago there was Republican majority
of from one to five hundred, the
latest elections showed Republican
majority of from one to two thous-
and.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence to The Republican
WASHINGTON. d. c.. May 4, 1880.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. May a, 1880.
Yesterday Mr.. Hayes signed the
Naval appropriation bill. This bill
passed the House exactly as it came
from the Committee, passed the Sen.
ate exactly as it came frOme the
House, and Mr.. Hayes has signed it,,
without thought of objection. This
is the first instance, perhaps in a
decade, that the Senate has suffered
one of the large appropriation bills
to 60 through without amendment.
1t speaks well for the remainder oil
the session, and if this model legiSla-
ton is kept up the country will be
blessed in an early adjournment, say
by the first of June.
Monday is always a lazy day in
the House, nothing being done in
the way of business. Yesterday was
no exception to the rule. Under the
new Rules it was set aside for the
introduction Of bills or resolutions
to be passed under subscription of the
Rules without going to Committee.
But fearful of all sorts of schemes
members who did not want general
legislation introd uced in this way
required the reading of long bills
which consumed all the time until
adjournment, so no progress was
made.
A bill to established Ocean mail
service on American steamers and
properly compensate the same was

The Thurman boom, which has
been dormant for some time, has re-
ceived fresh impetus from the decla>
ration of his friends that he will be
endorsed by the approaching Ohio
State convention aud nominated at
Cincinnati. They argue that as it is
quite apparent that Tilden cannot
carry New York in the face of the
bitter opposition of the Kelly fac
ton, the Democrats must look to
some close State whose electoral vote
most nearly approaches that of New
York, and concentrate all their en-
ergies to carry it. Ohio, they claim,
meets all neces sary requirements, and
they affect to believe that the nation

that State the battle ground instead
Of New York. If such determine
ton should be reached, Thurman,
they say, will unquestionably be
nominated, as he is certain to carry

HORRIBLE STORY OF CRIME AND

sipated man, who had separated from
his wife and family in Ohio, and
occupied hut at a place called
Schooner, in Brown county, South>
ern Indiana, recently met with an
awfnI death. Frenzied with liquor,
he wandered into the woods, and was
three days missing before he was
found. He had scoOped out a hole in
the ground as if for his grave. He
was taken back to his hut, where he
soon died. Near by a similar hut
was occupied by Mary Fleetwood, a
loose character, bearing the reputa-
ton of being Roots mistress. Hear.
ing Of his return. she visited Roots
hut after dark, and finding him
dead, retreated towards her home,
uttering loud walls of anguish. The
strangest part Of the story Is that Just
as she reached her own door she was
struck by bolt Of lighting and kill
ed, and another woman of the same
stripe who lived with her WAS injur
ed seriously In the arm. Thus ended
the lives of two unfortunate, mis-.
guided wretches. RDSt's remains
were taken to Ohio for interment,
with not single kind, dying word
or request to comfort the family at
home. The affair has caused quite a
stir and excitement among the ma.
tives of that isolated and lonesome
spot.
