The question If assisted emigration" is
still receiving the attention that it de-
serves. The apparent policy of the Brit
ish government to empty its disabled and
decrepit pauper population, made so by
its oppressive land laws, upon the Amer
lean shores will probably be checked by
prompt measures on the part of this gov
ernment. 1t has become noticed recently
that large acquisitions of this undesirable
population have Lately made their way
into the { nited States through the ports
of Canada. Twenty -eigh. Of these "assist-
ed" immigrants were found the other day
in the streets of Buffalo, New York, who
had just arrived by way of Canada. They
were in helpless and starving condition,
and unable from decrepitude to work for
their support, They all had to he sent to
the almshouse Of that place. The policy
Of this country under Democratic admin
istrations has been to give every encour-
agement to honest immigration, and to
welcome the sturdy laborers from the old
world who came to these shores This
has been an excellent policy, productive
of the very best results; but the emptying
of cargoes of decrepit paupers on the A
merican shores to fiji our almshouses and
increase public burdens presents a very
different question. This cannot be toler-
ated by any enlightened government

The Baltimore Vindicator, colored or.

Alex. Shaw seem to monopolize all of the
sentiment in the Republican camp, with
Mr.. Holton far in the lead, and with a
seeming determination of his friends to
tender him the nomination, but. unfortu.
nate it will be for this party. There is no
possible exigency that can arise that will
enable this party to succeed with Mr.. Hel-
ton as its standard bearer. He can never
expect the colored vote, but, on the other
hand, his nomination will be regarded as
direct firing at them, and they will act
in accordance with their convictions with
Mr.. Holton as the regular Republican can
didate. An Independent Republican can
didate is sure, nevertheless true and GER

properly represented in the nomination OF

The Attorney Generalship for the State
of Maryland is an honorable and respon-
sible position. 1t is becoming that law
yer Of well known ability and extensive
legal experience should always be chosen
for that Office. The Democratic party Of
the State is well supplied with men of the
highest qualifications for the Office, and
many good names have been mentioned in
this connection. In Baltimore city the
names of Hon. Bernard Carter, Hon. S.
Tackle Wallis and Judge c. W. Pinkney
have been mentioned, and, should the gu
bernatorial candidate not be chosen from
that city, probabilities would be in favor
Of one of these gentlemen a. the Democra-
tic candidate; but should the candidate
for Governor come from Baltimore, which
is not improbable, then the candidate for
Attorney General would probably come
from some of the counties. Among the
nsmes mentioned in the counties for this
place are those of Hon. Charles B. Roberts
of Carroll; Judge Tuck, Of Anne Arundel
Hon. j. Fred Nelson, of Frederick: Judge
Merrick, of Howard; Hon. VIM Walsh, OF
Allegany and Charles Il. Gibson, of Tai
bot, all of whom are spoken of as well fit
ted for the Office.

An impression prevails pretty generally
that the war on the ";rade" dollar, which
has been recently so--extensively renewed,
is the result Of trick among speculators
1t is thought that the object is to deprive
them of cun ency and thus enable .pecula-
tors to purchase them at a discount of Is
per cent. which is the difference between
their value as bullion and the current value
at which they have heretofore been receiv-
ed. There seems to be little d,ubt that
Congress will, at its next season, make
the ''trade" dollars legal tenders. When
it is remembered that Congress has already
made the Bland dollar, which contains u
grains less Of the same fneness Of silver,
current for dollar, the manifest justice
of making the ''trade" dollars also current
is clearly seen and the difficulty Of justi-
flying refusal to do 30 becomes apparent
IT Congress should dc this, of which there
is little doubt in the minds of those COM
petent to judge, then the spectators. who
have purchased these coins for IS cents,
would make profit of over Is per cent.
in about six months upon their invest
ment. It will oe, therefore, seen that it is
to the interest of all persons in whose
hands these coins may now be, to hold
them until after the meeting of Congress.

The original issue of the new five-ccn'
pieces, which was not Stamped with the

These coins have not only in some instan.
ces been washed with gold. so as to i'm
pose on foreigners and on careless pers ms
who take them for five dollar god pieces
but now they have been counterfeited in
some base metal. Ofcourse. even had this
new piece been properly inscribed at the out
set by having its denomi ,a'ion stamped on
it, the counterfeit would have been made

For some time past there have been re-
ports from Chicago of troubles between
the Bishop of the Episcopal diocese OF
Illinois and one of his clergy-the Rev.
Arthur Richie, rector Of the Church OF
the Accession. Mr.. Ritchie-or as he is
better known Father Ri'chie-has evident
ly developed ultra-ritualistic tendencies
To such an extent has he led his congre-
gation-even beyond the pale of the high.
est of high church doctrines-that the
Bishops was obliged to formally ad-
monish him. But little heed was paid to
the letter. Extreme ritualistic practices
have prevailed, and now the climax has
been reached. Father Richie announced
on Sunday that solemn requiem mass
would shortly be said for The repose of the
soul of one of his parishioners. This il
one of the most pronounced steps ever
taken by clergyman of the Episcopal
Church. There has been quiet confession
allowed. and in some parishes encouraged
there have been prayers for the dead
there have been number of the clergy
who have accepted the doctrine of con-
bstantiation-some, even, who have
gone so far as to advocate transubstantis.
tion-but this is the first time q requiem
mass has been announced from the chan.
eel. There are grave fears among Episco.
palians that another split in the church is
intended, in diagonally opposite direc-
ton from the step made by DR.. Cummins,
who founded the Reformed Episcopal
Church on the most liberal low church
principles. If it be true that Father
Richie proposes the establishment Of still
another off-shoot. is as safe to predict that
the doctrines will be as closely allied to
those of the Church Of Rome as were those
of Bishop Cummins to Methodism.-Balto

If disease has entered the system the only
way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the
blood. To this end, as is ackno wledged by all
medical men, nothing is better adapted than
iron. The fault hitherto has been that iron

We have only to say again to the Ha-
gerctown Nail that We do not propose at
this time to enter into any discussion of
Governor Hamilton's career as Governor
of the State. While We have very decid-
ed opinions on the subject, we do not see
that any advantage could result from such
q discussion at present, and possibly some
slight ill results might be the consequence.
Indeed, we do not care to have any dis
cussion with the Nail at all; for it ia ut
terly futile to waste arguments upon q
paper which, after openly admitting its
inability to give any reason or foundation
for assertions it has been habitually accus-
toned to make and reitsrate, continues to
publish in it, columns what it has admit
ted to be slandereus and untrue utterances
against the Democratic party of the State.
Of course the Ada, in common with few
other Missionaries and extremists, is incap-
able of seeing any fault in Governor Ham
iton, and is always ready to attribute
every apparent improvement in the condi-
ton of the State to the management of the
wonderful statesman from Washington
county. It's vision is 50 badly perverted,
that is is unable to see that the enlarged
accretions to the sinking fund during the
past fiscal year and the reliet to the treas
ury, is due to th: repeal of the various
bounty acts, which cannot be claimed, we
think, as one of Governor Hamilton's ex-
traordinary measures; but which had been
commended for, before Mr.. Hamilton be.
came Governor, by Comptroller Heating
whom the Mail is 20 fond Of traducing.-
1t is true, as the Mail states, that Mr. Ham
ilton has been in Office all his life, but we
believe there are few candid observers OF
man, who have ever claimed that be sur
passed mediocrity, either in or out of Con-
gross, while many do net think he attain
ed to that station. The Nail ought to
have the perception to recognize the man
ifest fact taht Mr.. Hamilton is entirely out
of the way of possible renomination by
the Democratic party. The unfounded
charges he preferred against bis party in
public letters and speeches regarding the
defense loan sinking fund ought certainly
to settle that question. Even if true, these
charges ought never to have been SO made
by Democratic Governor; but being un-
true and unfounded as they were, who
could have the effrontery to propose his
name for denomination to Democratic
convention.

The grand spring opening, which was
inaugurated yesterday at Platshek's New
Variety Store. was success in every par
ticular. The spacious establishment was
crowded from the opening to the close,
and everybody was delighted with the
handsome display. At the entrance in a
prominent position on the floor was a
musical bed of flowers, and at the rear Of
that on table was elegantly displayed a
varied assortment of embroideries and
Iaces. On either side of the centre cOun-
tiers parasOls in abundance were shown,
while the drapery formed striking con-
traSt with the extensive collection of nOy-
elites so tastefully arranged. The rear of
the establishment was artistically
divided off with lace curtains FORM
ing an arch. Within this arch was
another musical bower of flowers resting
on a table containing a large variety of
Paris pattern hats and bOnnets. Judging
BY the crowds constantly around them
they We're particular feature OF the
opening, and many were the compliments
paid the enterpTising proprietor for the
taste shown in his selection, A large
business was done in this line, the low
prices being in keeping with the reputa-
tiOn of the establishment. The affair, en-
tire. was one of the finest that has ever
taken place in Savannah, and will be con-
tinued to-day.
