The New York San says: This prom
Uses to be the greatest year for immi-
grafton we have ever known. Arri-
walls for the first quarter are far ahead
of those for the corresponding period
of 1880, and yet the season when inn
migration is most active is only just
approaching. Indications are that
the number landed at Castle Garden
for the whole year will equal half u
million. In Germany there never be-
fore has been so ardent and widespread
desire for emigration as now, and
extra steamers have all their accom-
modations engaged far ahead.
Saturday afternoon at the railroad
camp on the line of the Denver 4 Rio
Grande, forty miles west of Chama,
n. NJ, a desperate from Texas named
Baker, with two companions, entered
the place, rode up to each store and
saloon and robbed each proprietor of
all money and valuahles. At the last
store, kept by FIenchman, the
roughs collected every man in the
place, numbering forty. marshalled
them into line under six shooters and
compelled them all to take drink at
the Frenchman's expense, Baker do
ing the honors. Finally Baker made
them all sit on the floor and started
away, threatening to shoot any who
moved. AS he turned the Frenchman
sprang upon him, took away both re-
volvers and shot him dead. The other
men then arose and fired vo!ley at
the roughs, wounding one, but both
escaped on their horses.
A SINGULAR ACCIDENTAL little
two year old child of Mr. Best, who
lives on the Columbia slough got \
large sized bean in her nose. All eff
forts to extract the bean on the part of
the parents proved Intellectual, and in
fact, only made the case worse, and
drove the lean higher up into the
head. On Thursday the little sufferer
was brought to DR.. Colby. At this
time the bean had worked so far up
that it could not he reached from be-
low, and an operation was necessary.
The doctor split the nose well up be-
tween the eyes, and in moments
time the bean swollen to double its
original size, was extracted. The
wound is slight and in few days will
be entirely healed.
The Ledger announces the good
news, that railroad lands, which were
recently advanced to SIS per acre. have
again been reduced to $3.50. At this
rate settlers may buy in the odd mum

but, in order to secure actual settle

falling into the hands of spectators,

In reply to numerous letters IN
regard to my Official circular OF

opinion that but one Director
should be elected in each school
district. The Legislature changed
the tsme of the Annual School
Meeting, and nothing more.
it will be observed that that part
of section two (2) of the amendato-
ry act, that seems, at first glance,

Directors, is an exact copy OF the
original act According to well
known principle of construction,
whea a statute is amended, by copy.
ing a section of former act, with
some char &c, that part OF the amend

previously been IN force, must be
considered as taking effect from the
time of the passage of the first ac,
and not from the tine Of the amend
ment.
That part of section two (2) OF
the amendatory act, that causes
confusion, was carried into effect
when the present school system was
put in operation-when the change
was made from one CD Trustee to

The Duty Of Democrats.

There's nothing truer, than the
old maxim, "in unity There is
strength. The following excel
lent article from the Fayetville
Sentinel breathes the proper spirit
and is deserving the thoughtful
consideralsss of all democrats
That here is fair prospect for
internal dissensiOn and division in
.he democratic party IN Ibis state,
in the near future, is evident. There
are various questions beng ogita.
ted, upon which the people will
naturally divide io opinion, and
there are, las well ,disecrterted mem.
bers Of the party more ambitious
i on patriotic, who wosld pander
to such divisions with the hope OF
sIil,ing a tide that might lead into
Office. Prominent among these
questions Is that of our state debt
and the proper manner Of settling
and giving final quictus to it,
concerning which members OF The
party have and will differ widely
The debt question is not the only
one that dlsturbs us; that of tenn
perance, the time of meeting the
legislature, terms of office and 9th
er matters of MINOR importance are
being discussed. Now if these ques.
tons are taken up singly and
remedy attempted by amendment
to the constitution, we believe it
would be attended by great peril to
the party. How, then, can our par
tv ship be piloted over what prom
iscs to be a rough sea with adverse
g.ies and numerous breakers with
safety? We believe it Can be done
by a constitutional convention. Let
he democratic party agree, through
lis papers, its public mon, its exec
utive committees and all other of
It's agencies for the next Legislature
to pass bill for constitutional
convention, and let the next state
nominating convention put IN lite
platform an endorsement to that ef-
feet that then, will be the only is
sue in the next canvass and to the
call of one, we as party will be
committed. When the legislature
shall have submitted the question
of a convention to the people, then
IN the Canvas for delegates, all the
questions-of debt, temperance, the
time of meeting OF the leSis.. ..turr,
official tenure, and all others that
may be thought of-will be discuss
ed, cons dercd and acted on in the
constitutional convention rc set.
tied, and as settled, will be acQu,.
csced in by all. This will keep
the struggle ia .he party, and the
result, too; and pievent all split OF
division. We suSmit these views
10 our brethren of the Jemocrati,
press, believing that the paramount
idea will be the unity of the peo
pie. and whatever mistakes may be
made or ills betall us, let not oui
grand old party become Malone
