NEW ORLEANS.


The merchants and people OF New Or
leans are anxious that that city shall be
selected as the permanent headquarters OF
the Central Immigration Bureau, author
lied by the Southern Immigration Con-
vcntion which recently met at Montgom-
cry, Ala, The merchants and people of
Memphis cordially second the motion.
As The Pcdyhe says, New Orleans is the
largest Southern seaport, rs well as the
most important city South Of Baltimore
and st. Louis, hence she naturally has
more claims TO the possession Of the I'm.
migration Bureau 10 be organized than
any other Of our sister communities. The
large number of ships that come to New
Orleans from all European countries TO
carry away the great Southern product,
cotton, and the other products that
We export, offer ample facilities for
transporting immigrants In fact, many
Of these vessels would find it profit
able to offer exceptionally low rates
Of passage in preference to coming
here in ballast, as is too frequently the
case. In addition to shipping facilities,
New Orleans possesses the advantage Of
ready rail transportation TO all parts OF the
South most likely to attract the attention
Of immigrants from abroad, rs well as
those coming from the North and West.
New Orleans Is the gateway 10 Texas by
the Southern Pacific, and there there is u
better chance for cheap lands than there
Is in any other Of the Southern States.
Then there ia the great river, with It's
lines of steamboats,, Attending the cheapest
aud most effective means aud way for
cheap transportation TO the most desirable
portions OF Louisiana, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Tennessee, Missouri and Ken
lucky, and tho whole Mississippi
Valley. New Orleans is by all
means the point for the Central Bureau
and for the distribution OF immigrants
Al the Slatcscould there establish agencies
and burclux Of information, and land
owners might, through hem, easily find
purchasers for their lands. New Orleans
has everything in It's favor and nothing
against, and Memphis adds her voice to
those in favor Of It's being made the center
Of the immigration movement.

Dun Washington correspondent tells a
story Of Senatorial weakness or inability
that, under the circumstances of our re-
cent Presidential defeat, is especially dis
heartening. by Senator IIarris's misman-
agcment, the advantages gained by the
Democrats in the House on the tariff
question are lost or neutralized. The
Senator had a campaign to complete and
must have his holiday, no matter about
the party.

SENATOR HARRIS finds himself in very
sorry position growing out OF his action in
yielding TO the Republicans OF the Senate
or permitting them to hoodwink and get
the better Of him in conference to the det-
rlment II not permanent injury, of the
Democratic party. The Democrats in the
House, our Washington correspondent
tells Us, are justly indignant over the di-
lehima in which he has placed the party
and the advantage he has permitted the
Republicans to achieve.
