The killing of Terry by United States
Marshal Nagle bids fair to develop into a
case of national concern. That Maggie
acted under and up to his instructions is
shown by the interest taken in his be-
half by the government: but that his
action was palpable violation of the
state law of California there is no sort af
doubt. Not being attacked himself and
in no danger of bodily harm. Nagle's act
of shooting Terry to death cannot but be
estimated as murder under the state
law. On the other hand, the federal
authorities having deputized Nagle to
do the very thing he did, the govern
ment cannot fail to stand by and defend
him. The point involved is, has the
general government the right to do that
which is in violation of law in any state.
This case will bring to issue point that
has never, we believe, been raised, and
the result will be looked for with deep
interest in all parts of the country.

ARKANSAS AND IMMIGRATION.

The Arkansas State Register, the new
Little Rock Republican morning paper,
does not favor the indiscriminate i'm
portation of colored people from the
south Atlantic states, an event frequently
spoken of of late. Discussing the ques-
ton at some length from the standpoint
of conserving the best interests of the
the state and society in the future, the
Register says:
We want the latent resources Of the
state developed. This cannot be success
fully accomplished by an illiterate and
nonprogressive people. In the black belt
colored men have not the opportunity for
quiring information and the true qualities
which constitute valuable citizens that
they do when brought into daily assocla-
ton with the white race. They have not
the ideas which mould and verify the
spirit of the nineteenth century, and this
is not remarkable because they have had
no opportunity of acquiring those ideas.
When they huddle together in one section
they practically invite the white man to
dictate their politics and their mode of
life. and it is not remarkable that the
white man never fails to do SO.
Accepting the foregoing as true, and it
were difficult to successfully refute 1t, if
all the states should adopt the policy
suggested by the Register, not in word,
but by implication, and exclude all the
undesirable for the reasons given col
ored people of the south, the fate of the
poor creature would be sealed, and not
only so, but outside critics would be
estopped from commenting upon the
treatment they should receive at the
hands of the white people of those states
and sections.
We can't blame Arkansas for not
wanting such immigrants as the Regis
ter describes, because we are prompted
by the same spirit Of self-defense, but
that spirit must be subordinated to the
higher inspiration and aspiration for the
cause of humanity. The race question
will have to be considered on higher
plane than local or self-interest or it will
never be solved eguitably.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.

Perhaps some Of our readers haYe visited
the extensive Offices of the Scientific Amey-
fcaa, ct 36I Broadway, New York, but many
have not, and to such the following account
may be of interest a correspondent who
recently had this pleasure informs us that
he was greatly surprised at the magnitude
of the establishment. 1t suggested to his
mind an enormous insurance company or
banking house. Most of the correspond
ence Is carried OH by type writer's, and this
necessitates separate department where a
number of experienced feuale type writer's
and stenographers are constantly employed.
The dark room, where the photographs of
the patent drawings are copied. and where
the photographs for the architectural depart
ment are developed, is also on this floor.
On the floor above may be found the editor
ial rooms, compositors' and subscription
room, and the engrayers' department.
The Architectural Department occupies
the top floor and here may be seen the man
ager Of this department, and also a number
of draughtsmen at work preparing the plans
otiAh SSAANAdA NNalElAo 40l tic 41fCNftfGk ana
BHlfder edition Of the Scientific AWeyIcaH,
which is published monthly and has at
tanned widespread circulation. The print
ing OF the papers is carried on in a separate
building. Atthe entrance of the main Office,
which alone occupies a floor space of 6ox16s
feet may be seen one of Prof Draper's re-
markable recording barometers, with which
instrument a complete record is kept of the
changes. This barometer was
built specially for the Scientific .4meyfcan
and it is a remarkably fine aud sensitive as
we'll as very expensive instrument.
Some idea may be had OF the extent ofthe
business done at the Office of the Scientific
Amey1caN when we state that over one hun
dred persons are employed by Mum 6 Co.
on their several publications aud in their ex-
tensive patent departments.

of several responsible gentlemen Of Milford
that the Mispillion creek could have had
federal aid for years, if the leading Demo
crats of that town had been willing that this
aid should come through Senator Salisbury.
Appropriations for the Mispillicn were pre-
vented at the instigation Of leading and
