jhe mistake OF not sending an agent Of

Ali of these Scotch immigrants are peO-
pie Ofmeans. They could readily have re-
NAMED at their homes in Scotland until
their homes at Sara sofa were ready for
them. They would have been much better
pleased with their purchase perhaps if
they had fouad comfortable cottages
already prepared for them. IL is by no
means comfortable for people woo have
been accustomed TO a home 10 find hem
selves practically homeless.
Doubtless these scotch immigrants will
feel little encouraged when they get
into their houses and begin preparing
their land for planting. From all ac-
counts it is the Kind OF land that needs

Senator Pugh's silver Speech.

senator Pugh's Silver speech
Senator Pueh. Of Alabama, in his
speech on Tuesday sad that he would be
willing to admit that The silver coutro-
sy was settled provided silver failed to
bold its own with gold when IT was
treated rs Early as gold. senator Pugn
seems 10 labor under the impression that
the Secretary OF the Treasury and the
banks have been dong all they could to
dtscredit silver. II is easy enough to as
sert that the banks and the Secretary Of
the Treasury are now, aad have been all
along, the enemies of silver, but simple
assertions will not do in so important a
matter as this silver issue. Is 30 not a
fact that tie banks have been dong all

cu!atiOn at its face valuei Months ago.
It ne banks had but said the word, the
.siIyer dollar would now be circulating ~

ID IS noticeable that several OF the
-.lthern Senators have declared tnem-
Iyes IN favor Of continuing the coma e
lf silver, and it NAV De tust mag 9rity OF
southern Congrs esmeH are on the side OF
silver. II that is lue case 10 affords an
exclamation for the persistent statements
sent out from Washington that the south
Is anxious for continuation OF the coin
age OF silver dollars. IL is certain. how
ever. that the Congressman who are 30
earnest in behalf Of SILVER, have had
no such expression OF sentiment
from their constituents, relative
10 the silver Issue, as TO JUSTIFY
q. m in assuming that tine south Is on the
side OF silver. We have already said
more than once, and we repeat it. that all
me expressions on the silver issue from
authorized bodies in the South have been
ia 'aYtr Of suspension Of silver coinage.
Let oeualOr PUN state on what data he
bases ms beliei that three-quarters OF all
the Southern people are IN favor Of silver.
What the Senator guesses to be the case
viii hardly he accepted without question
ia a controversy of this kind.
/. IS fact that the silver men are
not agreed among themselves what they
want. ruey are expcrimenters, each one
having an idea of his own about what
ought 10 be done. Representative Bland
wants unlimited coinage, aud Represent
alive Warner wants to stop coinage, de-
posit bullion and issue certificates based
on the market value Of silver. senator
Eusus wants the bonds paid in silver and
senator Beck thinks It would be better
to pay out to the bondhoders both silver
and gold ia the same proportions that me
TWO metals are received from customs
duties. 1t is plain that they are n doubt
about what ought to be done. Their
very uncertainty js an admission that the
free coinage Of silver may be productive
for the people 10 ask themselves is this
Il lhe silver men are so uncertain respect
ing the proper course to pursue are they
safe men TO follow?

tain about 10000 acres. and his estate is
estimated % be worth between $40. 200, 600
and $4,000 900.
Mr.. Richardson was very well known in
business circles in New Orleans. and 10
the leading cotton planters Of Mississi ppi,
Arkansas and louisiana, but il can
hardly be said that ne was as well known
throughout the country as some Of the
rich men OF the North. lie was President

generally kHown than ne had ever been
before.

since The civil war. Gov. Curtin it seems,
has always opposed Mr.. Bayard's Presi-

on to continue to oppose them. There is
another reason why Mr.. Bayard didn't
want Gov. Curtin to nave the Foreign

hopes to have the Belmont influence IN

he didn't get it, he must, it seems, blame

Travelling in the Interest of the Cape.
CHICAGO, April l5.-Hon. p. l..
Vanderbye, who for the past twenty
ty years has been member of the
Upper Houseof the colonial governm mt
of the Cape Of Good Hope, was in the
city Tuesday. He is making a trip
around the world to investigate the
systems of agriculture and the diseases
of fruit and stock. He has already
travelled II, 600 miles of territory in tie
English possessions of Australia and
after his travels in this country will re
turn home by way of Eogland and the
continent. Mr.. Vanderbye said the
population of the colony of Cape Of
Good Hope was about 10000 Euro
pean and 1 200, 900 black people. The
use OF brandy and other intoxicants,
he said, was fast ridding the colony OF
the Objectionable Beers and Ma,noors.
