migration from Europe to America
was never greater than it is at present.
French papers state that there are $50,

of sturdy emigrants flowing to this

idle with its arms folded and making
no effort nor offering any inducements

ambis and resolution we're adopted;
WHEREAS, This association being

itoi, the taxpayer and the property
holder, that no property should be sold
in this State at forced sale or tax sale.

1esolced. That the president ap-
point committee Of FIVE to draft q
bill in regard to public printing, aud
TO have the same presented and urged
before tho next legislature by said
ommittee.
Messrs. j. p. Elliott. s. ID. Wood,
A. q. Gray. r. NJ. Smith and A. Sic
meriug were appointed to carry out the
requirements of the resolution.
That is just what ought to have been
done long since. If the newspaper

mand their plain rights, the legislature
will scarcely dare refuse them.

WASHINGTON, May l8.-Senator
Bayard is firm in expressing his con
viction that congress should not ad.
journ until some method is adopted
for counting the electoral vote. 1t is q
significant fact that there is an increas.
ing number of republicans who are
opposed to doing anything in regard to
the electoral count and who are es-
pousing the doctrine that the vice
president should count the vote. Gar

Tllden's Strength Felt Mt the
National Capital.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-There was
an informal conference here yesterday
Of three leading members of the Dem
ocratic national Committee. They
were chairman Barnum, j. G. Priest,
and w. L. Scott. What their BUSINESS
was can only be surmlsed, but they left
this evening for New York. They dis.
closed this at at least, that the strength
Of the Tilden movement has at least
been felt in Washington. Members
of the .wo houses of congress, who
have all along been not only outspok.
en- in their hostility to Mr.. Tilden but
have insisted the masses of the party
are not with him, are becoming con-
vinced of their mistake. During the
past few weeks a number have visited
their constituents, while others have
run over to New York for day or two.
These gentlemen have invariably re
turned with protounder respect tor
Mr.. Tilden's strength, than they had
when they went away, Those who 60
home find their constituents anxious
to fight the battle over again with the
same leader, and those who 20 to New
York invariably report that they found
themselves there in the centre of
storm of enthusiasm for Mr.. Tilden,
the only other man spoken of in that
city as the possible Democratic candi.
date for the presidency being Mr..
Bayard. The observations of these
gentlemen have shown them that, and
they allhave come to the conclusion
that if Mr.. Tilden will take the
nomination he can have it.

WARRINGTON LETTER.
WAsHIy0Tog, ID. q.
May 10. 1850.

A Representative proclaimed the
other day. from bis seat, that he had
been informed Of something very like
another Credit Mobilier affair. II was
IN connection with Texas Pacific Rail.
way legislation some nine or ten years
ago. An investigation will be had.
IL is stated that among others impli-
Gated is gentleman prominently men
toned in connection with Presiden-
tial nomination.
The River aud Harbor bill, giving
nine millions or so, passed the House
Monday by q vote Of nearly four to
one. If the amount had been run up
to twelve or fifteen millions, SO as to
satisfy many members whose Districts
are not now provided for, tho vote
would have been about ten to one.
Many papers complain of tie House
decision to adjourn May 3lst. This is
unreasonable. To remain here after
the nominations arc made for the
Presidency would be folly. As was
aptly said in the discussion on Satur'
day, Congress would be nothing but a
political debating society. What lit.
tie would be done would be imperfect
ly if not viciously done. Asst is there
is plenty of time to pass all tho ap'
preparation bills. They IRE all through
the House except the general defcien.
cy bill.
There has been nm attempt made
lately to so amend the national bank
laws, as to permit those institutions to
loan money on mortgages or real es'
tate, The amendment will not, prob.
ably, be made.
After the Illinois Convention, and
this week, but few of the States, and
those unimportant, yet remain to hold
Conventions. The Republicans seem
cheerful, but it is plain they lack tho
confidence of former years. BY ju-
dicious nomination at Cincinnati l
think Democratic success is assured.
All is alive with excitement to-day,
for at 4:3O the great Hanlon- Courtney
race comes off. More people are here
than at any time since the war.
