Wm A. Pope, the General Passenger and
and Transportation Agent of the Associated
Railways Of Virginia and the Carolinas, seems
10 be meeting with success in turning German
immigration towards the South. He has organ
lied bureau Of immigration and sent an agent
10 Europe. AS result within the past thirty
days he has brought into the country 500 i'm
migrants to 600 by the end of the present
month He is locating these immigrants along
the lines Of the railways with which he is con.
nected where ever they can find employment or
comfortable homes Up TO the present time two
hundred and twenty of these immigrants have
been landed at Salisbury, N. c., as central
point where they are looked after by The State
immigration Bureau until they have secured
employment or selected homes for themselves,
in which they have found no trouble as yet, be-
ing promptly employed and welcomed by the
farmers, to whom they seem 10 give entire sat-
Northumberland Netos.
In connection with the above, we give below
q copy Of letter received here few days since
from c. II. Mallory, & Co. which will explain
itself. 1t would seem that little we'll directed
effort might result in the bringing into Florida,
through the channels of the numerous steam

and industrious immigrants from the old country

not in farming, but in their tavorite occupation,

coMPA RIsoN OF STATE TAX IN MONROE
SO,9ls.H

Here is gain to the people of Monroe in three
years of ouer one hundred per cent. AS compared
with Radical taxation, TO put it practically, the
people Of that county will not be required to
pay in Gz gears under Democratic rule what
carpet bag government exacted in three! And
what is true of Monroe is equally true as to all
the other counties in the State In Leon, for ex-
ample the gain to the people during the years
mentioned has been 47,477 87-this being the
difference between the taxes assessed during the
last three years of Radical domination and dur
ing the last three years under Democratic rule !;
and taking the whole Slate together we find thai
the clear gain to the people al large has been
within forty Thousand dollars of two years taxes
even at eight mills! During 1874, rs and '76,
Radical taxation aggregated for the whole State
$1,217. 047.17, or $405 $50 year, while for the
last three years the gross assessment has been
but &759, 837.54 or &457 400 SO Less thus showing
that the people have gained by the subsiitu-
ton of what the Key calls Bourbon !" for
Carpet bag" rule, $l52, 703 annually.
1t may not be out Of place just here to descend
to particulars. Any taxpayer of Monroe county,
to say nothing of tax payers of other counties,
can settle the question a. to bis own gain " by
simple reference to his tax receiptA Take the
case of The editor of the Kev. By an examina
ton Of the tax books of Monroe for series Of
years the following facts will be established:

This is just what the Commissioner of Immi-

counties organizations have been perfected in

Commissioners Office and tile secretaries Of those

with much PLEASURE among the sialwaft elsnaent,
to the efIeet that Geuszal Butisr has put Mr.
Cooking IN possession of facts tending to the
great damage Of the administration, but more
particularly injurious to Mr.. Blaine. When Gen.
eral Butler was here last week he had an inter-
view with Mr.. Blaine, during thecouns Of which
the Secretary Of State assured him seriously, In
the presence Of others, that he not only had
nothing TO do with the nomination Of Judge
Robertson for Collector Of the port of New York,
but that he knew nothing of the Presidents in
tention until amer the nomination was sent In
What Mr.. Blaine's object was In making such
an extraordinary statement was not known, ex-
cept that the conjecture which 10 now thrown
out may be correct, that he knew General Butler
was friendly to Mr.. Conklng, and that the Gen
eral knew some things about him which II would
not be particularly agreeable to have made pub
lie General Butler did not make any reply to
this assertion of Mr.. Blaine, but there was a
twinkle in his one eye capable of such muscular
exertion which spoke of incredulity He after
wards told Senator Conkling Of this, and the lat
ter remarked that it was enough to make horse
laugh. The story is now that General Butler
has found out great deal about the star-route
irregularities, and that he has communicated all
the facts TO Mr.. Conkling, who will take good
care that they be fully known at Albany in good
time TO have effect on the Senatorial election,
and that Mr.. Blaine is in great tribulation about
1t, as it is said it will not help The administration
