And now comes Dorsey, the star

that possibly the man had escaped
from the bonds Of calpet-baggism
and was trying to Eve clearly. But
it seems not. There are ugly tales
afloat, and ugliest of all, comes the
last report, that he was to be Off.
cially exonerated, and letters to that
effect published, etc. In other
Words the biggest kind Of a pail of
whitawash was to- be mixed and

not prepared, the pail is empty, the
brush lieth idle, and Dorsey is
caught fbbing. 1t is very sad
Dorsey went West after he was
kicked out of Arkansas, but the
accidental pilgrimage seems not to
have been benfcial in his case.
Probably he was toe far goas when

George A. Sheridan, the oyster.
shaped carpet-bagger, who figured
extensively as a radical politician
in this State, has come to grief. He
was Recorder Of Deeds Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, which paid about
$4,000 a year. A more honest man
than George would have made less.
But, Sheridan and a few others
swindled the Government out of
about 100000 on a patent cotton
tie fastener. These fellows stole the
patent" which proved to be no
fastener at all. De Golyier Garfield
demanded Sheridan's resignation,
and then appointed Fred. Douglass,
that great disciple of the colorea
race. Hurrah for the darkey!

arrivals alone, but alarge portion of
the inmigrantswho fandin Canada,
after a longer or "a. shorter stay,
make their way to the UnitedStates.
Canada makes strenuous efforts to
obtain immigrants, but when she
has got them she cannot retain them.
1t is not the climate and the cold
that send them away from the Do
minion, for the greater portion of
those who make the change seek
homes in portions Of the United
States that correspond to Canada in
those respects. They are at present
helping to fill up Dakota in prefer
ence to the adjoining Canadian
province of Manitoba. These emf.
grants are generally of a very desir.
able character; many of them are
the SONS Of farmers, and bring with
them sufficient means to buy land
and stock, and start themselves in
the business to which they have
been brought up, but which no long
er in England offers means Of max
ing living. The principal reasons
why these people leave Canada for
''the States" are that here the ma.
tional debt is decreasing and taxes
with it; in Canada, debt and taxes
are increasing; it costs no more to
live in the States, and wages are
higher than in Canada; the land reg
ulations in Dakota are better than
those Of Manitoba, while the winters
are less rigorous. The protective
system introduced into Canada by
that sharp little demagogue Melon
aid, is unfavorable to progress and
prosperity. Why cannot the Sunny
South get a share of the stream of
immigration?
