They are coming Too Fa-s.

New York, May 15.-More than one
hundred thousand emigrants have
landed at Castle Garden since January
!. Forty-six thousand arrived during
the month OF April, and the present
rate OF arrivals is about twelve thou
sand n week. Should the volume Of
this influx continue TO increase during
the summer months, we may reason
ably expect fully half n million emf
grants Will reach our shores this year.
In Europe this vast exodus has caused
much uneasiness. aud 1t is not TO be
looked upon with unmixed satisfaction
by the people of this country. There
is well grounded fear that our foreign
friends are coming upon US rs much too
fast for their good as ours.

The latest news from the scene Of
war are given in the following dispatch,
dated HAnford. Cal, May 18th:
No evidence was taken to-day before
the eoroner's jury, It having been
thought best 70 adjourn the inquest
until the excitement subsidies. and a
further reason Was that the evidence
was not here that Was wanted and 1t
could not be secured for some days.
At 4 citizens and leaguers meeting
this forenoon, several speeches were
made and resolutions adopted. The
principal speaker. Major +. ]. McCur-
day, an influential officer Of the settlers
league, advised a legal and conserya-
tive course. The following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
It Is the sense OF this people that
there Is not now, nor has there ever
been, any danger TO the running of
trains or forwarding Of mails by this
road; that It is considered clearly n
breach Of contract with the United
States government, on the part OF the
railroad authorities, In not delivering
the mails at this time.
The settlers league have transmitted
the following message to Washington,
TO the secretary Of the senate: The
journals Of the senate and house will
show that we have done all in our
power to prevent bloodshed. and to OBJ
tain our rights under the law; notwith-
standing, seven OF our citizens have
been murdered. We pray that our case
may be heard; We hold the Southern
Pacific railroad company responsible for
their blood, and for future trouble in
the Mussel slough country. Answer IL
received. Signed, ]. ]. Doyle, F. ].
McQuiddy, ]. w. Patterson. A. Tyner.
Settlers committee.
The settlers appear jubilant over the
fact that the government will not use an
armed force to enforce civil processes,
and that the Fights 10 be left To the
railroad company and settlers alone.
Telegraphic and railroad communica-
tion has been resumed, and the first
train arrived in Hanford at five O'Clock
this afternoon, and nearly the whole OF
the male portion OF the town were at
the depot.

Washington, May 15.-Although
there is just now something of a lull in
public political movements. Specula-
tion continues to increase in interest
among Washington politicians as the
day for holding the national republican
convention draws nearer.
The friends of both Grant and Blaine
look forward to next Wednesdays H.
inois convention with good deal Of
anxiety, because IL the third-termers
are worsted there the canvass OF Gen.
Grant receives hard and perhaps ia.
tai blow. The Grant men, however,
feel cheerful, and claim that Illinois

New York, May 15.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin prints returns from all the
wheat growing states in the country.
Upon the whole the acreage and pres
ent condition Of plant indicate that the
crop OF wheat will equal that Of 1879.
The chief exceptions Of this rule are
Iowa and Kansas. both large contribu-
tors to our wheat crop, but SO far as
can be judged from indications, tho def
cheney in those states are likely to be
compensated by an abundance in Illi-
nois, Ohio, Minnesota and Pennsylva-
mia.
