\ Plan TO Secure Immigrants.

There are fifteen States represented in
the Southern immigration Association,
which has its headquarters in New Or
leans. This association which has been
organized only a few months has begun
the work Of bringing immigrants to the
South in very practical kind Of way.
1t has started right, and appears TO be in
fiuenced by the right spirit. If those who
have the direction of it do not get tired be-
fore it is fairly started it will do great
deal towards getting the unOccupied lands
OF the South settled by desirable people.
At a meeting at New Orleans during
the latter part of last week plan was
proposed and favorably received for
having all of the fifteen States which be-
long TO the association represented at the
Worlds Fair TO be held in London next
year. For the American exhibits twenty
two acres have been secured, and ten
States have already announced their pur-
pose OF having exhibits there. 1t is proba-
Ole that many more of the states Will take
part in the exposition. The plan Of the
association is 10 show at the exposition,
in a compact but very attractive shape,
the resources of the fifteen Southern
States which it represents, and to accom-
pany the exhibit of each State with such
maps and publications as will give immi-
grants the kind of information they want
and ought to have.
1t is fact that has been noticed by
those who have had much to do with i'm
migration matters, that attractive eXhi-
Of n 4 n oh
more towards influencing immigration
than publications. At the meeting of the
Southern immigration Association, to
which we have called attention, promi-
nent citizen of North Carolina stated that
his State, several years ago, spent great
deal of money in immigration literature
without doing the State much good. The
plan of making attractive EXHIBITS at
great exhibitions was then tried. Exhibits
were made at Atlanta, Boston and Louis
vile, and immigrants, soon after the first
exhibit, began to seek homes in the State.
Their number has annually increased.
The immigration agent of the Southern
Pacific Railway Company stated that that
company had found out that the surest
way to attract immigration was by max
ing exhibits.
The plan of the Southern immigration
Association appears to be a good one.
All of the fifteen States can prepare an
exhibit for the London Exposition at a
very small expense. They can take the
best Of the articles which they had at New
Orleans and put them into a shape that
will be very oreditsble. Georgia and
Southern States in this matter. If little
money is needed there ought to be no
hesitation on the part of their respective
Legislatures IN providing it.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE ii, 1855


Senator Teller, of Colorado, who was
Secretary of the Interior during MIR. Ar
taur's administration, is the first Repub-
lican Senator who has expressed the opin-
ion that there would not be united Oppo-
sition by Republican Senators to the
Presidents nominations in cases where
removals were made for political reasons.
Mr.. Teller says that his opinion is that
the administration ought to have the Sc
lection Of its own officers. One of the
reasons which he gives for this opinion is
that the present administration was
placed in power to reform the govern
ment, and that if it is not allowed to
choose its own officers, and it fails to
make the reforms which were promlsed,i 1T
will be justified in saying that 1t could
not do what was expected of it because
1t was not permitted to fill the Offices with
those upon whom it could rely to make
reforms.
There is some force in what Mr.. Teller
says. 1t is hardly probable that Repub-
lican officials will assist very earnestly
in making reforms. They would rather
see the administration fail to give salts
faction in order that the chances of their
own party for getting control of the gov
ernment at the next Presidential election
might be increased.
The chief importance of Mr.. Teller's
talk, however, is in the statement that
there is no probability that the Republi-
can Senators will permit themselves to be
bound by a caucus to oppose the nomina-
tions Of the President.
A few days ago it was stated in a
Washington paper that the Republican
Senators had entered into an agreement
to oppose nominations to offices from
which Republicans had been removed on
the ground that they were offensive
partisans. According to Mr.. Teller, this
statement has no foundation whatever.
Some of the nominations may be opposed,
but if they are it will be for reasons which
have always been given for opposing
nominations.
1t is pretty certain that Mr.. Teller will
not oppose a nomination simply because
the nominee succeeds a Repu blican who
was removed for being an offensive
partisan, and there are other Senators,
doubtless, who feel just as he feels in
this matter. When Republican officials
are requested, therefore, to hand in their
designations they will act wisely by COM
plying at once, and when they are out
they VIII make a mistake if they think
they can get the Senate to defeat the
continuation of their succ essOrs.

Two years ago, when Mr.. w. E. Forster had
resigned his portfolio in MIR. GladstOne's Cab
met. he was naturally anxious to hear how
the Prime Minister would speak of the Inci-
dent in the House of Commons, and not less
anxious to listen without being himself OBJ
served. He, therefore, did not take his ordi-
nary place in the body Of that assemblage,
but made his way into the ladies' cage, or
rather that portion of it which is set apart
for the lady friends Of the wife of the Speaker
Directly he had entered he perceived that
the sole occupant of the department was no
less person than Mrs. Gladstone herself
She was the one person whom ne would have
avoided seeing He felt little discOmpOsed,
and was proceeding to eVince his discOm-
posure IN the rugged, spasmodic way pecU-
liar to that flower of Quaker subtlety, But
Mrs. Gladstone was perfectly at her ease.
She held up her finger at him, and shaking
her head with an air of gentle reproval, NUT
tered in a low voice. Naughty! naughtyw
have Only'OnCe in my experience of Eng
lshmcn or English women heard anything at
all comparable to this; that was when Lady
Waldegrave-nOw alas! dead-asked Lord
Beaconsfeld whether he intended to dissolve
in the forthcoming autumn. Perhaps" she
said archly. ''you have another surprise in
store for us" The impassive Earl was silent
for a moment. He then looked her ladyshlp
straight in he face, and in tone half Oracular,
half bantering, which l shall never forget,
SAID, "Oh, you dear!"

negro, in case the Democrats should elect the
President, read oddly enough IN view of such
incidents as the following: The Democrats
have now been in power three months, and
the country has yet to hear OF the first ont
rage upon a black in the South: while. in the
only three States which have held elections of
any sort, the noteworthy events have been
the choice of capable negro over rival white
candidates as Police Judge in Hot Springs,
Ark, the nomination Of number of negroes
for local Offices upon the Democratic ticket in

Mayor in the chief city of Delaware after his
promise to appoint negroes upon the police

Not So Easy for Men to Fly.

With wings Of any moderate spre ID horse
$50 pounds. the average weight Of a man, calls
for 6-horse power, while mans power is esti-
m ated to be about One-ifth Of a horse power
when eXerted to the greatest advantage. In
other words, if the machinery for the purpose
weighed nothing. mans strength must be in
creased 30 times at least before he can sus-
tain himself in the air Even then he could
fly only in a calm. 1t has been stated that
the average velocity Of air currents at a dis
tance above the earth is 20 miles per hour.
These must be met and overcome by any fly
ing apparatus before 1t can be successful.
These facts ought to be enough to settle one
side of the question at least. Men cannot
hope to fly by muscular eXertiOn. Any flying
apparatus must weigh less than rs pounds per
horse power in order to sustain itself, and if
supported by a balloon must be even lighter.

From Toacn Topics.

Baroness Burdett- COutts is usually accom-
pantedjin the streets by beautiful COley dog,
which is the gift Of Henry Irving, and which
has a little history. The actor was one day
driving over the Braemar moors when he lost
his skye terrier, which had been trotting
along behind his trap. He got down to look
for it, directing the driver TO go on with the
trap. On the moor he met a shepherd with a
Colley, and the man when told Of the actor g
loss offered to find the terrier. At word
from him the Colley darted of, and after an
absence of ten minutes returned. "Where is
he?" asked the shepherd, and the dog, lifting
one paw, pointed in the direction of the road.
He has gone after tha trap" the shepherd
credulous, returned to the road, and coming
up with the trap. found his little favorite
awaiting his arrival. He bought the Colley
for $75 and presented il to the Baroness.

looking On the Frauds.

Ex-Secretary of the Navy Robeson is
reported to have said in New York a few
days ago that the unfavorable criticisms
Of his administration of the Navy Depart
ment did not bother him in the least. He
has probably become so hardened that the
opinion which the public entertains of
him is a matter of indifference to him.
Doubtless ex-Secretary Chandler, with
respect to the attack on him, feels about
as Mr.. Robeson does, and yet men who
have held such high positions in the gov
ernment ought to be anxious to have their
official acts put before the public in the
best light that they will bear. The fact
that neither of these eX-Secretaries has
anything to say in defense of their ad-
minlstrations of the Navy Department
may reasonably be interpreted to mean
that they have nothing to say that would
be of any benefit to them.
Secretary Whitney, since he has been
in office, has been trying to put the busi-
ness of the Navy Department on a busi-
ness basis. In accomplishing this work
he has been compelled to investigate some
of the transactions of his predecessors.
One Of these was the purchase of what
is known as the Thilmany process of pre-
serving wood.
The history of how the government be-
came the purchaser of the patents for
this process and how it was deceived into
paying out thousands of dollars to the
owners of the patents for treating ship
timber before it bought the patents is
very interesting and rather instructive.
as it shows one Of the ways adopted by
the Republicans to get money out of the
Treasury.
Secretary Whitney's investigations
show two things. The first is, that the pat
ents are worthless because the process
which they are intended to cover was
put in practice in this country more than
forty years ago. Anybody, therefore, was
entitled to use the process. The second
is, that the process does not do what 1t is
pretended il will. 1t does not preserve
timber. Timber treated with this process
was used for piles at one Of the Key West
wharyes, and in a comparatively short
time the teredos honeycombed il.
Therefore, after about 100000 has been
spent on the Thilmany process, Secretary
Whitney is forced to announce that 1t
isn't worth anything, and that it should
never have cost the government
anything. 1t seems that the own.
ers of the process got their first
hold on the Navy Department when
Mr.. Robson was Secretary, and succeed.
cd in selling the process TO the depart
ment when Mr.. Chandler administered
that branch Of the government. The man
who managed the matter for the owners
OF the process is Gen. Butler, late Preslden.
tial candidate. If these three distinguished
Republicans couldn't have got a Republi.
can administration to spend 100000 on
worthless patents, there wouldn't have
been any use for others 10 try.

A Question of Etiquette.

rum tte " eur Iofb AFtC0N6s
The propriety of the Presidents going out
to dinner at other peoples houses has always
been, more or less, "A subject of contention
among those who take delight in splitting
hairs on topics affecting Official etiquette.
There is one rule, however. sanctioned by Gus
tom and usage which has been strictly OBJ
served by all Presidents since Washngton's
time, with one exception. and that is that the
President shall not enter the house Of for
eign Minister. This is entirely a question of
etiquette or dignity. There are no Ambas-
sadors, or personal representatives of SOW
ereigns, here, and there being none the
President, who is considered the equal of
soyereigns, cannot visit Ministers. who
are only the agents of their respective
governments. The one exception to the
rule which fOrbids the President to
visit the houses of foreign Minister was made
by President Arthur two years ago. Capt.
Won Eisendecker was then the German Minis
ter in Washington. He had a young and
charming wife whose entertainments were
season. At reception given by the Eisen-
deckcrs both host and hostess were surprised
to see President Arthur walk in soon after
midnight and remain for over an hour. Be
fore departing, however. he begged the wife
Of the Minister not 70 allow the fact of his
having been there TO reach the papers, as ii
would give rise to comment and Involve him,
perhaps, In trouble. She kept her promise. OF
course. but there were other persons who had
seen the President in the house, and the fact
could not be kept secret. Strange To say,
however, il never got into the newspapers.

The New York Herald thinks that it is
shame that 800 or 400 office-seekers
should take up so much of the time of
the President and his Cabinet officers, and
prevent them from giving their attention
to matters in which the people of the
whole country are interested. 1t says:
"But is not the President himself some
what TO blame for what has become an in
tOlerable evil? He is the servant of tn @
people, but heis not, and he is not required
by the people to be the servant of a con-
temptiDle little otiice-hunting brigade.
The great body Of the people do not want
office, and have not much respect for
those who do want it, The Office beg
gar5 are an eXcresence on the body poll
tic. They are encouraged by few
shameless journals and abetted by
"A few shameless Congressmen,
but they have not the sympathy of the
people. These would applaud the Presi-
dent il he should shut his doors and the
doors Of his Cabinet officers against these
parasites with a bang which could be
heard all over the United States"
The'Heraid was extremely anxious last
fall TO have "the rascals" turned out, and
now when few very earnest, very anxi-
Gus and very sincere Democrats call on
the President and insist that "the
rascals" shall oe turned out, the Heraid
treats them to lecture that is calculated
TO make them think that they are the
"rascals' and ought 10 be
kept out Of the offices. II
is just as much the business
OF the President and his advisers to till
the offices with good men as it is to attend
% other matters that come before them.
Good government requires that the offices
shall be properly and satisfactorily ad-
ministered, and 1t is the duty Of the Presi-
dent 70 provide for their proper admins
tration by filling them with the right kind
Of men.
