be justly indignant at the treatment
that city has received from the pa

to the first case of small pox in its
limits. 1t says:
"a number of our exchanges have
published the 'libelous stories circu-
lated by unfriendly persons about
the treatment Of the first victim Of
smallpox here, but have not publish
ed our correction Of the error into
which they have been unwittingly
betrayed. We renew our request for
this courtesy. Our troubles here are
serious enough without being made
the victims Of the malicious or unin-
formed people who are anxious to
curry favor with those present by
abusing the absent without cause or
proyocation."

The immigration from Canada to the
United States is great. Foreign arrivals
only stop in the Dominion until they get
ready to cross over to "the states" The
Toronto Globe the .eading paper on that
side Of the line, says the Canadians have
great admira ton for the United States,
and adds:
1T cannot be concedled--it is no uae
in ConCealing the truth-that many OF
our people think the American Republic
better than our Dominion, because it is q
Republican country. 1t has charm for
them. As the poor American slaves used
to watch the North star when sighing
for liberty prior to 1850, and wended
their way by cirCuitous routes to Cana
da, 80 the people OF Europe and many OF
our people, are attracted by the fame, the
glory, the free intercourse, as they think
the free life Of this great Republic"

A letter from Mr.. John Bright to a
Bradford correspondent is printed in the
English papers, in which he ascribes
the depression in English trade to the
bad harvests Of recent years, involving
a loss of EI5o,ooo to the agricultural in
terest, loss which must inevitably and
seriously depress all other industries.
MIR. Bright continues;
"The remedy will come with more
sunshine and better yield from the land;
without this it cannot come. Toimagine
that your sufferings spring now from
hostile tariffs is absurd, because you have
had great prosperity with the same tar>
ifs; but to suppose your case will be im>
proved by refusing to buy what you want
from foreigners, to punish them for not
buying freely from you, seems to me an
idea and scheme only worthy Of the
inmates of lunatiC asylum. To return
to protection, under the name Of recip-
rocity, is to confess to the protectionists
abroad that we have been wrong and
that they are right, and protection will
henceforth be the justified policy Of all
nations. If protection is needful and
good, surely it is needful for our farm.
ing class at this moment, and yet who
dares to propose another sliding scale
or fixed duty on the import Of foreign
corn? Bradford must be watchful and
patient, to look out for new m rkets or
new products for her looms, and to en-
dure temporary reverse, to be followed
l trust, at no remote period with revi>
val of prosperity"

ances that humiliation would he put
upon him or his friends in New York;
and he would receive due consideration
in all matters o, this kind that affected
the interests of the Republican party in
New York. The nomination OF Judge
Robertson was violation of this volun'
tary tender on the part of the President,
and was distasteful to himself, Senator
Platt aud those leading Republicans OF
New York, without whose labor the
etate would have voted for Hancock.
This is said to describe substantially the
attitude of Mr.. Conkling before the COM
mittee.
The situation is still further complica'
ted by the reoorted attitude OF Senator
Platt. That gentleman, according to
credible reports, will cooperate earnest
ly with Mr.. Conkling to secure the re-.
lection of Judge Robertson, but should
he be confirmed, Mr.. Piatt, having no
desire to continue the four years war
upon the administration that he believes
will in .vitably follow, will resign lis
seat in the Senate.
A committee cplled on the President
and made known the attitude of the
New York Senators, and suggested, o
avoid the threatened rupture in the Re-
publican party, that he might withdraw
Judge Robertson's nomination. The
President assured them that in no event
nor under any circumstances, would he
withdraw Judge Robertscn's name. He
acted for what he believed to be the best
interests of the country and the Rel ub-
lican party, and it was for the Senate to
confirm or reject the nomination.

IT is now said at Washington that if
Judge Robertson's nomination for Col
leCtor of the port of New York is kept
before the Senate, serious results will
follow to the Republican party. At the
caucus Of Republican Senators last Fri
day two weeks, Conkling appeared by
invitation before the caucus committee
and made long and earnest protest
against confirmation, and 10 all appeals
declined to modify his opposition in the
slightest degree. he was determined he
said, to use every effort in his power to
defeat the confirmation; and 80 far as he
was concerned, nothing short of the
withdrawal Of Judge Robertson's nomi-
Lation would avert the struggle. He
would not only fight the nomination in

The New York Evening Post will have
it's stalwartism suspected if it continues
to talk like this;
1.-THE other day SeC'y Dorsey, of the
Republican National Committee, gave
Chairman jewell of that committee, a
certificate of good character and good
conduct. Whether or not Mr. Jewell
will feel moved to return the favor, we
are not prepared TO say; but that such a
certificate, from some quarter, would be
useful to Mr. Dorsey, Is beyond question.
When the brother, the brother in law
and the partner of public man are
shown to have been concerned in fraud
ulent postal contracts, it will not sutfi ce
for the public man 10 fall back upon the
fact that he was once Senator of the
United States, and upon the assumption
that Senator must be superior to such
rascalities-espeCially when 1t appears
that his Office enables him to furnish mis-
relatives and associates with opportuni'
ties for swindling. The investiga-
tions which have been going on under
Postmaster General James, show that,
with the aid of Brady, who resigned the
other day under pressure, ring of poll
ticians and plunderers has stolen some
So 900 900 from the United States by
means of raised Star Route contracts.
The method of this particular fraud
which, morally, is no different from the
method of raising a check or a bank
note-is simple enough. There
are obvious reasons why S. W. Dorsey
might be willing to forego higher honors
and take a subordinate place in the Post
office Department Once there, he might
hope to continue the profitable activities
of Brady, and he might hope to hide the
evidence of frauds already contaminated
Happily he did not get the place.
