REHABILITATION.

The eight States above shown to be popularly
arrayed against the Republican party have one
hundred and two elecrotal votes, which added to
the Southern votes give an electoral majority Of
eighty nine votes. The fourteen states in which
the Republican party has the atcendency--th though
Ohio with Its twenty two votes, is admitted by both
parties to be legitimate fighting ground-have
but one hundred and twenty.nine electoral votes,
nine less than the South, which the Republicans
foolishly solidifed, Anotimpossible contingency
may lose to the Republicans seventy votes more
and leave to them but hfty.nine In the electoral
college. These not overdrawn or exaggerated
show that, so far from being the least dshearten.
ed by the empty boastings Of Radical clamors, the
Democracy has but to make nominations which
will cement the opposition to the Republican
party and press forward to victory.

THE CITY OF NEW YORK is always
doing something new, and her pro
jects are mostly of such magnitude as
to be entitled to be termed grand.
Her elevated railway system is the
first and grandest of it's kind in the
world. Her suspension bridge exceeds
all such bridges that have been erect
ed to go over the water her magnifi-
cent river palaces astonish European
travellers as conveyances on the water,
and her projected tunnel, which has
been commenced, to go under the Hud-
son river from Jersey City to New
York, eclipses the tunnel of the
Thames as the sun does the moon.
while her last, though not least, grand
project of reclaiming five miles of
river front embracing about 500 acres
and converting their shallow flats and
marshes into solid wharves and docks
by utilizing the dirt and ashes of the
city and the dredging of the rivers. is
another of her vast schemes for the
benefit of her people, of which other
cities may take note with profit.
Among the cities that might profit

The End Of KearneyIsn.

The latest returns of the election In
San Francisco make 1t absolutely certain
that the law-abidii 4 citizens of that city
have won an overwhelming victory over
| The Infamous demagogues, Kearney and
kalloch. Henceforth Kearneysm, as it
is called, is doomed on the Pacific coast,
and tile lesson the election enforces will
not be without Its effect in other sections
OF the country. "A few weeks ago this
blatant and blssphemous outlaw was
threatening the destruction of San Fran
cisco. He was preparing ESQ he said)
TO erect a gibbet on the sand lots, upon
which to gang all who did not obey his
behests. The city was to be sacked and
plundered In case bis demands were not
acceded to, and neither person nor pro-
perty was to be respected by himself
and his followers. The Chinese, he
lnsolently yaunted, "should CO." and
not only the Chinese, but all who rsfus-
ed to bow to his dictation. Kearney
was so long allowed to pursue his career
unchecked that he really believed he
was the supreme authority in San Fran
cisco. BY this time he must be pretty
Will disabused of that idea. He aud his
party have been so badly beaten at the
polls that they will never be heard from
again, and instead of the Chinese going
kearney himself goes where he should
have gone long ago-to the penitentia-y.
The result is great triumph for San
Francisco. 1t is the triumph of order
and fgood government over disorder
and anarchy. 1t means for San Fran
cisco peace and the twin sister Of peace
prosperity. As the misguided men
who followed kearney's leadership
would be the chief sufferers in the event
OF bis success, they, of all concerned,
have most reason to be thanful tor the
victory that has been achieved.-Herafd.

The effect of this immigration must
be very great upon this country. II
will be perceived that in the single
month of March just closed the arrivals
reached the enormous sum of 2O,565,
enough to form a very complete city,
and should the rate of the past three
months be continued for the succeeding
nine months of the year the aggregate
will reach 10000, population sufficient
toimake quite clever State, and more
than enough to add another member to
the Lower House of Congress.
1t is said that these immigrants are Of
q very much better class than those Of
former years; being more thrifty bet
fsE eSasataa RHype sw and fsfS Shgs ahs zea
them large sums of money. Conse-
quently they will add greatly to the
wealth of the country, and help to build
mp the neighborhoods in which they
settle more rapidly than formerly. A
great part Of those who arrived in
March were from Holland, which here
'tofore furnished very few immigrants to
America. This class entered at once
into farming in the Western States, hsv-
ing had agents here previously to secure
lands for them.
osThere are wild and exciting stories
published in reference to the immensely
OF the immigration during the next few
years. Some predicting that the yearly
aggregate in 1880-19S1-2 will reach an
nhally three or four hundred thousand
thai the number will only be measured
by the capacity Of the steamers to bring
them. OF course If this should be true,
and we do not see why 1t should not,
the effect upon the country must soon be
felt in many beneficial ways, not the
least of which will be in the rise in the
price Of improved farming land and real
estate enormously in the West and its
gradual appreciation also in the Atlantic
States; thing devoutly to be wished
notwithstanding the insane cry of a
dispicable class of selfish politicians of
fear of imitation from the increase Of
gold and silver or currency convertible
at the will of the holder into either of
these metals. The amount of specie
which the immigrants always bring with
them will of itself add greatly to the
wealth and swell the currency of the
country.

UNUSUALLY LARGE ARRIVALS OF IRISH
AND HoLLANDKRs BOUND FOR THE
WEST. I-l.t 1850
The tide Of emigration IL settling IN
very heavily, and is expected that this
year win mork the largest number OF ar

lied 594, the Mas 254 and the Spain a47

Is an unusually large number OF Irish
farmers, all Of whom had purchased
thrir railroad tickets for Western towns
before they left the other side, and are
escaping from the rigors of landiordism
In their native isle. They are intelligent
and thrifty men and women q ,and express
ed desire to leaue the large city behind
hem at the earliest practicable moment.
The emigrants who attracted the most
attention were q small settlement of Hol-
landers who claim 10 be the pioneers Of
thousands who contemplate coming 10
America to settle in the Western States
and Territories. They, also, were sup.
piled with railroad tickets, and were
bound for Winconsin and Minnesota.
They are we'll dressed. and belong to the
middle classes. They are squatty As Es-
quimaux, and the women and children
wear wooden shoes. The females all
had their hair built up in pyramids on
the top of the head, surmounted by q
monstrous comb.
The most conspicuous and destitute
portion OF the emigrants was party of
l26 Hungarians, who had fed from the
iamine-blghted regions Of Hungary.
They are destitute and penniiess. The
