Over $40, 600, or to give the exact hg-
ures, 24l, 49S persons have landed at Cas-
tie Garden during the first six months OF
the present year, an increase OF o4,o4o
over the arrivals Of the same period last
wear. There is little wonder that the
countries of Europe are becoming
alarmed at the swelling tide OF immlgra-
ton that is coming toward this country
Every new conner serves as a free adver-
tisement to attract others, for it does not
take long for the thrifty peasantry oil
Europe who throng our shores to build
mn new homes for themselves in the Far
West, and this accomplished their FIRST
inclination is to write to those they have
left beyond the seas to come over and
ioin them where they will be happy and
prosperous. America holds her arms
wide open to those who come here to
work. There is no room for laggards IN
the Crlve and hustle of American life,
but the immigrant who comes here with
a strong arm, a brave heart, and a deter
mination to succeed, will do SO beyond
all peradventure.

VINDICATED.

Mrs. Boucicault has won her suit
aoaist her husband, and hereafter he
must pay her alimony of $1,000 a year
and $500 counsel fees. While this IS
not a large amount for Dion to pay-for
he is a ready morey-getter-it vindicates
Mrs. Boucicault from any OF the
~insinuations her husband has made
against her, and sets her in a much bet
ter light before the community. she
may have been extravaganza, and per-
haps foolish, at times, but there IS MOTH
ing in the evidence that has beer dduced
that she has at any time been false to
her marriage vows. Those who know
Mrs. Boucicault only on the stage have
recognized in her a very charming and
sympathetic actress, and will be pleased
to learn that affairs have turned out in
her favor

TIE PUBLIC DEBT.

During the fiscal year ending June 80,
1881, the reduction in the public debt
amounted to more than 5 100, DOC, O00. 1t
may be thought that a process Of iqui-
dation SO rapid and extensive would
entail upon the country a heavier strain
than it could safely or proftably bear.
Fortunately. experience does not bear
this ont. While we are paying off the
national debt at the rate of more than
49, 900, 900 a month, the country is in
the enjoyment of a prosperity which
leaves little room for reasonable COM
plant. No other nation in the world
could do what we are doing; but then
the natural resources of the United
States are without any parallel, and we
are only now beginning to develop them.

Secretary Kirkwood recently told the
Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press that he did not fear a Ute
war. He said that the difficulties which
have occurred in the Ute country were
caused by the Piutes, a band of rowing
savages who have no reservation nor
agent. They came in conflict with some
Of the ranchmen. The Utes, however,
were not parties to the quarrel, and the
information received by the department
from the commission does not indicate
that the Utes will resist a change, in ac-
cordance with the terms of the treaty,
to the new reservation.

WHAT CONKLING SAID.

1t should not be forgotten that eight
years ago Senator Conkling, in the course
of a speech defending Senator Caldwell
Of Kansas from the charge Of bribery,
said: Whenever two candidates con-
test a Congressional District, each may
say, Il will plant a seed which will de-
stroy the result if my competitor sue
ceeds. / will cause a bride to be paid,
or I will be able to make proof that a
bride was paid, and this will overthrow
the whole proceeding" He knew how
that sort of thing could be done eight
years ago. Has he been at the game he
so effectually depicted as the probable re-
sort of a desperate Senatorial aspirant !

PLATT,s sUDDEN RETREAT.

Mr.. Platt's withdrawal is attributed in
some quarters to the effect of a social
scandal which has just been made public,
and in which he is said to have been dis
creditably involved. That is not a very
satisfactory explanation. Mr.. Conkling
has been for a long time past one of the
central figures in a social scandal Of an
extremely pronounced type and to which
a wide publicity has been given. but that
circumstance never seems to have i'm
paired in any appreciable measure his
eligibility as a political candidate. There
must surely have been another cause for
Mr.. Platt's sudden retreat.

How to secure Distinction to Boys,

An ingenious citizen of this city, says
the Daily Report, has hit upon a happy de-
vice to secure distinction to his sons whea
they grow up. He has four boys, and has
named them respectively Governor. Judge,
General and Doctor. His own name Ia
Peleg Brown. He says he don't know as
any OF his boys will ever earn the titles by
which he has christened them, but that II
Governor should only be a counter-jumper
he is sure to be called Governor Brown,
and If Judge is merely a coal-heaver he
will nevertheless be Judge Brown, and II
General should be but a simple President of
a savings bank he will be General Brown,
despite the disgrace Of his position in life,
and if Doctor turns out to be a barkeeper
he can only be known as Doctor Brown
though some irreverent people may I'D.

+ BRIGANDS.

Mr.. Suffer. the Englishman who was
captured by Greek brigands, and subse.
quently released on the payment of o
ransom of $45, 900, says his captors spent
most of their time in dancing, drinking
and singing, when not on foraging expe-
ditions, and part Of their time was passed
in playing cards, and in telling stories Of
murders and exploits. They used most
profane and blasphemous language, but
they were superstitious and were strict
in their religious o~bseryances.

Hancock will be nominated in 1884

from several quarters of the country,
and from no point has there been OPP

WOULD KELLOGG RESIGN 2

A Baton Rougean, the other day,
enthused by Conkling's exhibition OF
offended pride and self respect,
brought those commendable traits
down to a fine point by endeavorlng
TO imagine 9 supposabie circumstance
which would bring about the resigna-
ton of our ,delectabte Senator, kel-
logg. Among the suppositions he
named, there we're included mass
meetings all over the State, of the
people, irrespective of race, sex, feli-
gious and political opinions, color or
previous condition, trade, occupation,
and profession, age, origin, state OF
health, education, social standing,
habits, intirmities mental and physi-
cal, dress or style, whether in liquor
or sober, at which resolutions would
be unanimously adopted declaring
him, Kellogg, first class dead beat
and shameless fraud and interlopcr, %
liar, scoundrel and Mclean man OF
the worst type, winding up by an ur-
T! gent demand that he wash OIL the
stain which his presence makes on
Louisianas escutcheon and to abate
the nuisance he beau ideGticcS i'll the
g. S. Senate, by rendering his reslg-
nation.
The judges decided that the de-
monstrations named would have Us
much effect on Kellogg as a flea bite
on the neck of q rhinoceros.
"suppose," said or Baton Rougean,
"that in addition, the meetings would
tar and feather him in et1igy, hang
him toa sour apple tree, and then
and then------set fire to the NAME
quln?"
The Judges declared that the sup
position in effect would be as potent
as a blister on a wooden leg.
Suppose, them" said the pertina-
cious Baton Rougean, "that dose OF
tartar emetic would be put in every
U. S. Senator's whiskey, one day, and
Kellogg pointed out as the man who
had it done, and then the Louisiana
resolutions would be read out Dy the
| clerk, and the Senators in body
would endorse every word they con
contained, = and In addition
unanimously adopt one asking that

THE WARWICK OF THE RErUE-
LICAN PARTY.

The latest advices from New York
are to the effect that Conliling will
rcsolutely enter into the contest for
re- election and the endorsement of
his course, before Jhe General AS
scmbly of that State.
As the quarrel is altogether within
the Republican camp, we feel at per-
feet liberty to pat on the back whom
soever we please, Mr.. Garfield or Mr..
Conkling.
Between the two we can't help but
believe that Mr.. Conkling occupies
the most loyal and honorable posi-
ton.
Mr.. Conkling was the leader of the
Grant forces at Chicago. He there
made a stubborn fight for his candi-
date, who was finally defeated by Mr..
Garfield. He Loyalty accepted the
result and threw himself in the
breach to save his party from defeat,
and by his powerful appeals to the
prejudices of the masses and his well
directed efforts, he wrenched the En-
pire State from the Democrats and
made Mr.. Garfield President.
If any one man turned the scale in
favor Of the Republican party at the
late election, that man is Conkling,
the proud Senator of the most pow
erful State in the Union.
We contend that Mr.. Conkling'S
services to his party had placed Mr.
Garfield in his debt. The man who
had carried New York had the right
to obtain of the President the ap-
| pointment of the Collector Of the Port
of New York, an Office which wieids
a tremendous power in sustaining
any political party.
Mr.. Garfield proved ungrateful by
disregarding the claims of Mr.. Conk
ling and nominated Garfield MAJ
simply.
Dir. Conkling with pride and self
respect, which many politicians could
take pattern from, would not consen
to sit down alongside and on the
same plane almost, as q Kellogg. He
resigned his position and asks his
constituents of the Republican party
of the State of New York, who hay,
made Mr.. Garfield President, to say
which one of the two has proven REG

reant to the obligations which 10y
atty to party discipline imposes upon
every man who is something more
than an office holder or seeker.
We don't care o straw as to the re-
suit OF this contest and believe that
the country viii be rs well off, ii Mr..
Conkling's course is sustained or re-
pudiated; but we certainly applaud
the precedent which he inaugurates
that a representative should, under
certain circumstances, refer his con-
duct to, the approval Of his constitd-
nnfu

ST. JANGs, La, May "a, 1881.
~ thc Edit" Of the Creole Preside:
An editorial which appeared in
ale Louisianais' ofthis date contains
certain slanderous statements respect
ing the undersigned composing the
law firm of Sims e. Poche, which il
becomes their imperative duty to no.
tice and refute in as public a manner
as they have been made.
The article in question states that
the Supreme Court, in q decision re-
Gently rendered, reflected upon the
conduct of the undersigned as coun,
sci in the case.
We desire to state explicitly that
that article, from beginning to end,
SO far as it contains any allusioD de,
rogatory to the undersigned, is a vile
tissue Of falsehood and misrepresen-
tatiOn.
The statement that the Supreme
Courtretected upon the undersigned
in any manner or in connection with
any pending litigation, is notably
false and was made maliciously.
The litigation referred to in 'L'
Louisianais' article, is still pending
and yet undetermined in the Supreme
Court. A decision in the case wa
prematurely rendered through mad
yertence or q mistake of q minister
