THE STATEMENT is made today by the
Bnresu of Statistics of the Department
OF Commerce and Labor that the
amount Of canned beef exported from
the United States the present fiscal year
will be only one-fourth what it was last
year. The decrease is noted in the
trade with nearly every country that
uses American canned beef Between
the lines of the bureaus report on this
subject, can be read the sequel to the
'PackingtOwn" expose of last year.
That the passage Of the meat inspection
law, safeguarding the consumers Of the
product has not treasured foreigners
sufficiently TO induce them to continue
to buy the product, is to be seen by the
figures given out today. The greatest
falling off during the current year was
in the trade with Great Britain. There
need be but little said concerning the
above, as it is apparent that American
packers are responsible for the loss they
have sustained.

THE GREAT strain of immigration that
flows mainly into the northern and
western States has done much in build
ing up and pushing forward an almost
unparalleled growth in population and
wealth in these sections. Many of the OBJ
servant and wideawake men at the front
of affairs in the South are eudeavoring
to bring the opportunities and resources
of the South to the attention Of the emf
grant wanderers Of the earth seeking new
homes for themselves and their poster
ity. The Norfolk Virginian, in an arti-
Gle fayoriug organized efforts to secure
the establishment OF Norfolk as a port of
entry for European immigrants, declare
that the necessity of securing labor to
keep the wheels Of industry, progress
development in motion is enc of the
chief problems confronting the State.
1t adds:
In immigration of the right kind and
in sufficient quantity lies the only solu-
ton. This is generally recognized and
admitted, ss is also the fact that, If
this immigration is to be secured, we
must seek the slensin their home coun-
tries, and, having induced them to emil
CRATE, to land them in this country at q
southern port.
But it should be remembered that i'm
migration of the right kind, and only
the right kind, is wanted in the South.
This 10 no section for the of-scourings
OF Europe and such people would be
most undesirable citizens.

PEOPLE who send special delivery
letters are liable TO notice something
about an order from the POstofice De-
partment that ordinary stamps are suff-
cient and mail their letters without the
distinctive stamp. They should read
more carefully and learn that the new
law does not go into operation till July
1. AS soon as Congress passed the law
allowing ordinary stamps TO be used in
paying the fees for special delivery people
began to act as if it had gone into i'm

ENGLAND ResponsIbIe for Douma,

Paris, May 1.-THE greatest interest
hiss been aroused here in the story printed
by the Journal de Geneye declaring that
Great Britain is really responsible for
the continued existence of the Russian
DOuma. The paper which makts the
statement is usually we'll informed on sf-
fairs of The various European chancel-
lories, and for this reason it is believed
there is a great measure of truth in the
story. Great Britain, it is asserted, p:ac-
Jically threatened to call of pending ne
gotiatiOns for treaty with Russia if the
DJuma is dissolved. Russia IL anxious
10 arrange a treaty with Great Britain.
Members of the British cabinet fell, how
ever, that their government would be
diserediled with the people if a treaty
should be arranged with Russia in the

to st. Petersburg that if the Donna were
dissolved Great Britain would find it

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY II. 1867.

Mr.. FINLEY, President Of the South
ern Railway, seems TO be very fair aud
b,oaJ minded man and in q number OF
aneeches he has made in different parts
of the country recently he showed the
railroads 10 a different light from that
10 which they are now 30 commonly
depicted. Ia his speech before the
American Cotton Manufacturers Asso-
citation in Philadelphia yesterday Mr..
Finley made an attack on the "sgita'
tors and muckrakers," as be character
lied the men who have been instrument
al ia the passage Of legislation inJar-
ious 10 railroads aud to capital generally
and gave the railroads side of the ques-
ton. After outlining the close relation
between the planter, the manufacturer
and the carriers, and declaring that it
would have been impossible for the
South to develop as manufacturing
community without adequate transpor-
tation facilities and just rates, Mr..
Finley said
The railways are asking no special
favors. They only ask that they be
given the same degree of protection under
the law that is given the business enter
prises of other kinds. Laws sublecting
common carriers to proper regulations
such as might he necessary to prevent
discrimination or unreasonable charge;
are proper and could not be objected tC
on any valid ground, but when legisla'
ton vent beyond the proper field Of
regulation and proposed to reduce
charges arbitrarily, and to impose pen
alties for failure to perform impossible
seryices, it became destructive and the
inevitable result Was to cripple The
ability of the carriers to provide the
additional facilities so badly needed.
Surely this seems fair enough.
