Washington special: Maj Nickerson hiss
not sailed for Europe. He Is supposed to be
in Philadelphia and there is good reason 10
believe that the War Department has an
agent there trying to find him with view OF
placing him under arrest preparatory TO a
trial by court-ms srtiaI.
The War Department officers lsst satur-
day morning received a letter from him
daied Philadelphis. In it Maj. Nickerson
said he desired to report hi" monthly .a
dress, as is the custom with all retired
officers, and gave simply Phffadelphia, Pa.
He also made complaint about the stoppage
of his pay, claiming that he has done moth
ing that would subject him to court-mar,ial,
and that the newspapers had treated him un-
fairly in taking the statements of his enemies
without giving him a chance to defend him
self In view, however, of the notoriety
given him in the matter OF the divorce and
the bitter feeling existing against him by
thos, in power, he thought il wise to retire
to private life. Inciosed, he said, his resig-
nation would be found. 1t appears, how
ever, that for some unexplained reason, the
resigoation was not forthcoming. 1t is not
believed, any way, that his resignation would
be accepted if received, and every effort will
be made to find him and let him stand his
chances with a court-m srtial.

HOW THE WAVE OF IMMIG RATION HAS EBBED
AND FLOWED FOR HALF A CENTURY.
Washington special: The immigration
iuio the United States during the fiscal year
Just ended was more than twenty-five per
cent. below that of the preceding year and
ten per cent. below that of the year which
preceded that. The total number of immi-
grants arriving in the year just closed was
500, ,ll4, against 770, ,422 last year and 6o9 =
43l the year before. Over 100000 have
thus arrived in the country and taken up
their abode here within the pact three years.
The Total arrfvaIs Tor Tue past ten years have
been less than 100000, and in no three
yesrs preceding had the total run much above
1,O0O,O 200. The largest number of immigrants
arriving ia any one year preceding the three
in which the present "boom" has been run
ming was 459 ,S03 in 1873. Tne number Of
immigrants who have arrived in this
country during the last fifty years
reaches over 10000, 900. The small
est number of arrivals in any ain

low that number four tImes-in 1843, 1874,

The Situation at Nashville.

special TO the Appeal
NASHVILLE, July 24.-Iu a conversation
with the telegraph strikers they state that
the news from the South is altogether en-
couraging to them. The strike Of the
operators reminds me of a conversation 1
hsd with Andrew johnson. He was pacing
the corridor of the Maxwell House, when he
said that the great obstacle to the laboriDg
community of this country would be from
nonopolies, and thst the inevitable result,
Judging from the tendencies of the time, was
that the government would finally haya to
axe charge OF the telegraph, and that the
men OF talent IN the service would be recog-
nized by the amount the government
Eould pay them; that the laboriug men
1f this country had most TO fear from
monopolies, and that even the liberties of
the people would be threatened by autocrats,
who Weuld not hesitate to demand the last
irop Of blood from the veins Of those fnsn-
ci.lly powerless to help themselves. The
following document was found on the street
c-dsy, and was addressed to a telegraph
striker:
