THE TIDE.

The tide of immigration continues to
rise. Last years influx of Europeans
seeking homes in the United States was
unprecedented for its magnitude, but
that for the present year promises to be
still larger. During the first three months
Of 1880 the extraordinary number Of
"a, 900 immigrants landed at Castle Gar
den, New York, ON their way West,
whereas during the quarter ending March
81 the arrival of 4 $4,000 persons with the
same errand was reported. And the best
of it is that the new corners are very
desirable acquisitions. Most of them are
practical farmers, and bring enough
money with them to enable them to make
a fair start. The country is filling up,
but for such immigrants as these there is
room for millions more.

THE FINAL OUTCOME.

the Grass Valley Union agrees sub
stantially with the SENTINEL regarding
the final outcome Of the deadlock in the
United States Senate. 1t says "George
Gorham is a fast friend and a pet OF SEN
ator Conkling. 1t was George who cap
tured Malone, and doubtless the under
standing was had with Conkling by which
George was to be made Secretary of the
Senate for his successful scheming, and
Malone rewarded by giving his friend
Riddleberger an Office. This game Of
trickery has led to the ENHANCEMENT and
disgraceful scenes witnessed in the Senate
for the past mouth, during which time
all public business has been neglected and
the Presidents appointments held CON-
pletely in allegiance. But since Conkling
entered upon the business OF assisting
Gorham and Malone an unexpected blow
has come upon him in the matter of the
New York Collectorship. He is prepar-
ing to resent this by an attack on the
President. The President is said to be a
fighter intellectually his right hand
supporter, Blaine, is-and when HOSTILE
ties are opened, the probabilities are
strong that the deadlock will be suddenly
broken and Conkling's proteges, Gorham
and Malone, promptly disposed Of, and
the Presidents appointments as promptly
acted upon by the Senate. This certain
seems a logical result of any break
between Conkling and the President"

The Christiancy Divorce.
WASHINGTON, April Is. Some testi-
mony, taken in the Christiancy divorce
case to-day, is regarded as important.
Mary Alleger. with whom Senator and
Mrs. Christiancy boarded while he was in
the Senate, testified that she spent nearly
all of Christmas day, 1879, with Mrs.
Christiancy at the residence Of the ~latter's
father. Mrs. Christiancy was sick and did
not leave the house all day. As that was
the day it is charged that Mrs. Christiancy
met Giro at the st. james Hotel in New
York, Mrs. Alleger's testimony is consid-
cred pretty conclusive, but Christiancy's
lawyers will produce testimony to rebuff
and contradict it.
DOct0red Wines.

is the substance of the reports made to the

The Champion Httters.

The Austin and Battle Mountain clubs
played a game of baseball on the ~latter's
stamping ground last Saturday, which is
spoken Of very highly by those who were
present. Six innings were scored, when
time was called, the result being, Austin
2, Battle Mountain 0. The game was for
the belts won by the Battle Mountain
Club last season, and the trophies were
taken home by the Austin boys as en-
blems of their prowess. The Base Range
players have al eye on these belts, and will
no doubt make an attempt some time dur
ing the coming Summer to wrest them
from their present holders. Eye wit
nesses say the Austin team has made a
wonderful improvement over last years
playing. Our boys had better look 70
their laurels.

The extraordinary railroad building
movement in the United States has
caused a demand for railroad iron far ex-

selves in favor Of executive sessions for
the confirmation Of certain nominations,
and the general belief seems to be that
this policy will be adopted soon, though
this conclusion may be revealed without
the necessity Of holding a caucus. There
Is no doubt that the pressure to set aside
the contest for the officers and obtain ac-
ton on some, at least, Of the 300 pending
nominations, is constantly gaining force
and cannot very much longer be resisted.
The continuance of the deadlock is daily
developing new cases Of complaint in vari-
GUS branches Of the public service. The
Indian Bureau is especially affected by it.
1t appears that there are several important
agencies vacant, and a large amount Of
Government property is left in the hands
OF persons not under bonds, and must re-
main there unguarded until the Senate
confirms the appointments to fill the va
cancies. This arises from the fact that un-
der the law an Indian agent does not hold
his position until his successor takes
charge. His official tenure ceasing with
his term, the acting Commissioner of In
dian Affairs himself has an appointment
as chief clerk only. Mr.. ~Trowbridge, who
has been Ill for several months, being still
nominally Commissioner, no criminal case
can be tried in this district, because there
is no us. Marshal to serve processes.

REFuNDING PROBLEMS.

A Low RATE OF INTEREST GROWING IN FAVOR
ARGUMENTS OF SENATORS BAYARD AND NC
PHERsoN.
iBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-It was made manifest by
the debate In the Senate to-day upon TIE Refund
ing bill. that the influences in favor of q per
cent limit to the new bonds have not been
exerted entirely In vain since the bill was reported
from the Senate Committee on Finance: and that
the opinions Of some Senators have been unsettled
while others who week ago were favorable to the
higher rate of interest, are now fully converted
70 the policy OF attempting to refund at q
lower rate. The character Of the debate leaves
no safe ground for prediction as to the ultimate
results in the Senate. but the chances appear TO be
still In favor Of the passage Of the bin as 1t came
from the Senate Committee with slight anne endments
Several Senators who substantially indorse the
committees views think that it would be better to
leave the rate OF interest upon the bonds as upon
the treasury netes discretionary with the Secretary
Of the Treasury. not to exceed gig per cent? in
stead of fixing il arbitrarily at that rate. II Is also
manifest that several Senators, who are usually
slsssed among the most astute members Of the body,
me yet unaware not only OF the leading features Of
the Reanding bill but Of the object to be attained
By its passage,
ihe speech of Senator Bayard was an excellent
one and its arguments. If time is given to allow
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1881-02-16

them to become fully known to Senators, will be
found entirely convincing. Briefly, they are as fol-
lows: The present period of unexampled prosperity
should be taken advantage of to refund the high
rate bonds in those bearing lower rate, while at
the same time obtaining the option for the Govern
ment to redeem its obligations as rapidly as its
means will allow. At the same time, since the
great bulk Of our circulation is based upon the
bonds of the Government. no possible risk should
be run of allowing those bonds to drop below par.
as such an occurrence would serve to decrease the
value of the circulating medium and in turn unsettle
values. Money to-day, as is proved bv the ruling
prices of Government securities in New-fork, is
worth considerably more than per cent interest
upon short time optional bonds; and the risks are
too great to warrant any experiments at rate below
aDy which have ever before prevailed.
Senator Mcpherson was the leading advocate OF
the three per cent rate. He read carefully pre-
pared speech, celebrating considerably upon the
idea that 1t would be Improbable and great hard
ship upon the taxpayers to compel them to with
draw money from commerce and the industries,
where it is worth ten per cent, to pay, of a debt
bearing only three or four per cent. He would
therefore favor instead three per cent fortyyear
bond, but in any event three per cent rate OF inter-
est.
