- Not only is the population of France de.
creasing, but the immigration of strangers in
to the country is almost as large as that into
the United States from Europe. These immi-
grants settle they have no fellowship with
the floating population strictly speaking.
Their number is estimated at upwards of l00,-
600 every year. In 1876, no less than 100000
foreigners had settled in France to-day

another century, represent 10000, ,O0O.

- The September report of the yellow fever
epidemic at Pensacola, made last Saturday
night, is as follows: This night ends Septem-
Der with the report Of 7S4 cases of yellow fever
to date and IS deaths. The disease has been
spreading rapidly for week and it has unfor'
tunately been chiefly confined to very poor
people, the cOlOred people being puculiarly
susceptible to it's ravages. The Southern peo
pie, especially those of Mobile and Memphis
have sent most liberal contributions, and Oul
local Board has been enabled promptly to re-
lieve all distress up to this time.
- The demand for Confederate bonds has
been much revived in Augusta, and one or two
firms are buying them up at good prices
The fluctuation in these securities" is past
finding out. One time they have gone up tc
$3.50, $40, SIS thousand at any other it is
difficult to disposs of them at any price. The
old sensation about the gold deposit in Eng
land to the credit of the Confederate Govern
ment, has been about exploded; but it is sup
posed that some new idea, equally visionary
has taken its place or it may be that the Gen
eral Government of the United States is now
buying them to destroy them, and put a stol
to future sensation and speculation.
Governor Murray Of Utah, in obedience tt
the law of Congress providing for appoint
ments to fill the vacancies occasioned by fail
ures to hold an election in August, has ap
pointed numberOf officials throughout Utah
In defiance of this law and the Edmunds bill
which disqualifes polygamists, the appointees
Ofthe government have been refused the records
and places to which they have been appointed
This organized notification is in obedience to
the orders of the Mormon leaders. Those who
think it criminal to hold over are whipped in
by counsel and threats, and the polygamists
are holding on, Congress to the contrary not
wthstanding. Wrts of mandamus were ap
piled for yesterday to enforce the title of the
officials appointed.
- The Democratic nomination of Mayor
Cleveland of Buffalo as candidate for Govern
or of New York and the unanimity With which
all the factions of the party have pledged
themselves to support him at the polls, makes
his election, it is thought, almost, if not quite
a foregone conclusion. The New York Times,
which, while not favorable to Judge Fol.
ger as the Republican candidate, is yet de-
sirous that the Republican party shall not lose
the State, has already expressed the fear that
the loss is inevitable. The Herald, though
claiming to be Independent, has long had Re-
publican leanings. and urged the nomination
of Mr. Wadsworth by that party. Failing in
it's efforts and finding that the Democratic
nomination is strong one and is supported
for the first time in many years by united
party, the Herald which always endeavors, like
the London Times, to reflect the popular senti-
ment, has come out openly for the Democratic
ticket. In it's leading editorial of Tuesday it
announces it's intention to advocate ''unre.
servedly'' the election Of the Democratic can
didates in preference to those set up at Sarato-
ga by the Republicans.
- The Russian fear Of Nihilism has not been
abated by the long absence of any revolutions
ary acts of violence. Whether the severe
measures taken for it's repression have accom-.
plished great deal is question. The calm
surface which Nihilism now presents may not
he due to the harsh restrictions in force but
no vigilance is to be remitted and the state of
martial law existing at St. Petersburg and vi
cinity is to be continued another year. The
Cars dread of the smoldering flame is amply
manifested by his postponement of his coro-
nation in the face of popular protests and con-
temptuous epithets rejecting Oh mis- courage.
The present quiet and placidity are looked on
as suspicious, and it is probable that Nihilism
is as actively plotting mischief in it's dark and
secret places as ever before. When it may
break forth nobody can tell, but the vigilance
must be extraordinary which prevents its
striking whenever the looked-for opportunity
arrives. Martial law, secret police, military
severity and palace full of guards can never
bring peace to the fear-haunted Gar so long as
the despotism which has given birth to the
widespread spirit of revolution is maintained
in it's present unyielding absolutism.
At Cairo, Egypt, last Friday there was a
terrific explosion of ammunition, besides the
