The controversy between the Commission
ers Of Emigration and the foreign steamship
companies concerning the payment OF head
money for the maintenance of Castle Garden
has been resumed IN g new form. The Com
missIoners have bill before the New York
Legislature which contemplates somehow
getting around the recent decision OF Judge
B latchford against the constitutionality OF
the proceeding, so as to make the steamship
cOmpan ies pay fifty cents per head. The
latter, however, contend that all the neces-
sary expenses of the Garden, IL economical
lY conducted, can be met at twenty-five
cents per head, and this they are at
any time prepared to pay; but
they will not be parties to any pro-
position which commits them to the
support of pauper immigrants at Wards
Island in luxurious idleness, nor will they
agree to send back home criminals or Grip
pies, or other undesirable persons, after the
lspse OF months or years. They will take
them back on the same vessel that brought
them out, and beyond that they decline to

sioners are wise, they will think twice be-
fore declining them. Meanwhile the incom

a Charleston dispatch to the New
York Times announces that threats have
been made in official quarters that the
State authorities will arrest Republicans
in every county, and try them for their
violation of the election laws of the
State, if the Federal Government per
sists in its announced determination to
prosecute citizens of that commonwealth
on trumped-up charges. The Times
claims that this is rebellion" but it
would have some difficulty in making
out its case. the State is supreme, and
to designate the enforcement Of her
laws and unfolding her supremacy as
rebellion, " shows a wOful ignorance of
the first principles Of our system of
government. 1t is to be hoped that the
State officers of South Carolina will
persist in maintaining the respect and
majesty of their commonwealth at all
hazards.

Summing up the financial and com
mercial situation, the New York EcentRg
Post arrives at the conclusion that the
export movement of all the great Ameri-
can staples has diminished to an i'm
pOrtant extent during the past week,
while American prices for cotton have
been maintained pretty steadily at one
half to five eighths Of cent. above a
parity with Liverpool, and prices of
breadstuffs have been at higher range
in view of the increasing evidence that
the American surplus is smaller than here
tofore estimated. What will be the out
come Of this situation cannot, of course, be
foreseen; except that Europe cannot get
along without at least a large part of
the present American surplus, and that
If European markets once get up to the
point of taking any considerable portion,
it will establish a higher range Of prices
there that viii yield nearly as much
money for what we have to sell as for a
larger surplus at lower prices.

The statement of the friends Of the

resolutions was adopted claiming that

southern half of the present
