The Mobile Register reports a very good
attendance, and among the distinguished
victors we're Mr.. s. johnson, of Tennessee,
the owner of the turf champion Muggins.


FIRST RACE.


For the two mile race, for which there
were only two entries, the inside place fell
to Chickamauga, who spent some time in
cayorting around the stand, while Fanny
Cheatham, who ran with blinders on, was
kept quiet by her attendants until in seadi-
ness for the start. Alter one false start,
from which the horses were recalled before
they had gone far, au even one was OBJ
tanned. This heat was an exciting one,
and Fanny won by less than a length.
The second heat was well contested, Chick
amauga taking the lead at the start and
maintaining il until half way up the turn
on the second round, when Fanny sprang
fairly ahead, and kept there, though Chick
amauga attempted 10 brush her down the
back stretch. This proved failure; still
she could not drop him until near the
end Of the stretch, when a gap was es-
tablished, which grew wider and wider
round the lower turn, till it amounted to
two or three lengths. The usual struggle
up the home stretch failed to stop it, and
Fanny came in victorious by several
lengths.


SECOND RACE.


Concerning this race there was some in
terest Of peculiar kind, the victory, from
the beginning, having been conceded to
Capt. Moore's entry, and the question being
rather about the second horse in the race.
For this Nellie Gwynne was the second
favorite, with good pretensions, founded on
her past career, and some apprehension of
an uninteresting race was felt at the re-
quest of Mr.. Smith to withdraw her on a
plea of lameness. A rigid inquest was
held, and the handsome little mare was
decisively pronounced unfit to start. The
others were evidently in excellent condi-
ton, and all of them were subjected to
critical examination, resulting in general
verdict of approval Of their points, with
the exception Of Engineer, Jr., in whom
nobody could discover form or comelness.
Smiths likeness to his kindred, Of the
Revenue stock, is sufficient TO make any
general admirer of the genus eqltus fall in
love with him, and Black Crook is as
handsome as the devil-that being pre-
cisely his style of beauty, while the grim
iron gray could not have a more fitting
name than that of Stonewall Jackson, if
the entire muster rolls of both the late
armies were picked over for the purpose;
and fhose who see him run are in doubt
whether Lightning is the name of an actual
four-footed sire, or the namesake of the
great hero was in fact generated by an
electric bolt. 1t was a splendid field of
horses, as all thought before the race, and
now have reason to know. The race was
quite exciting, and at times involved con-
siderable doubt as to which horse would
win the second place. Stonewall won
both heats; Engineer, Jr., the second
place in the first heat, and Black Crook in
the second heat

For the three-year-old purse, mile heats,
no particular interest was felt, though the
horses were both good, Mollie Ingersoll
being the favorite over Dallas. The race,
however, furnished some amusement, that
of the first heat being in the observation of
how slow a race might be made. Perhaps
it is enough to say that Mollie won it by a
length in 2;03, and that neither ofthe horses
appeared 10 be seriously distressed by the
severity of the struggle. The second heat
was made in better time, Mollie winning
by several lengths.

national credit, probably in its highest form. The
national standard must range somewhere between

Should the Republicans prevail in the coming PTesi

the situation would be vibratOry and panicky in the

prognostications of the war. The Rebels who would
be brought into power by such anomalous and un-

SAN FRANCISCO, May IL, 1893.
Consul Godoy, Of Mexico, officially authorizes the
denial Of the report that President Juaez has had to
leave the capital in consequence OF fresh revolution
having broken out there


The reports which had reached here to the effect
that the present national government of the Mexican
republic had been overthrown are unfOunded. We
have advices from tho capital to the LIST instant which
state that the President Is In quiet possession Of the
national authority and that all the recent attempts
at revolution and insurrecton In the different parts
Of the Mexican republic have been put down.


According to last accounts General Angel Martinez
had gone to Topic, and was on Ills way to make an
act Of submission to the national government. The
same accounts report the States OF Sinaloa and
Guerrero tranquil Thus the great rebellions OF the
Pacific coast are at an end.


Governor Pesqueira Of Sonora, is reported to have
had narrow escape from the hands Of the Apache
Indians. These latter have recently made terrible
raids around the town Of Arizpe. This town has Q
population of about two thousand Inhabitants, and
was formerly capital OF the district now comprised
within the States Of Sonora and Sinaloa. 1t Is now

Emigration from Europe to the United States.


The tide of emigration is again rolling to
our shores. Vessels filed with their living
freights and from different parts of Europe
have already begun to arrive at this port. The
Erin and the Deutschland, which arrived here
on Saturday, brought respectively L. 1874 and
$40; in all, 100 passengers. -Four steamers
are known to have left Liverpool and Queens
town, all well filed with passengers and all
hereward bound. The German ports, we
learn, are equally busy From letter which
we published in the HERALD of Monday, from
the pen of our special correspondent at Berlin,
it appears that, Notwithstanding the improving
prospects of Fatherland, emigration to America
is becoming more and more German passion.
Between Good Friday and Easter Monday 547
Pomeranians passed through Berlin en- route
TO New York; and this, we are told, is only
specimen of what is taking place in other
States, counties and districts Our corre-
spondent mentions that the feudal and con-
servative journals are raising wall of sorrow
over the general exodus. From other
sources we learn that emigration from
Denmark and Sweden promises to be ON
scale proportionally large. France and even
Italy have caught the contagion; and it is GER
tain that our French and Italian population
will this summer be greatly increased. Come,
and welcome, are the best and the worst we have
10 say. Every Industrious immigrant is worth
80 much to us. He is no burden, but positive
gain. This, however, is no home for the idler.
Jf.men will not work they must want. But to
all who are willing to be Industrious and thrifty
this country offers comfort and plenty. Some
must remain with us here in New York, but
the greater portion will move westward. Those
who wait here will no doubt find employment
and home; but the true field for the immigrant
Is the prairie or the forest of the boundess West.
There virgin nature waits to yield up her riches
as a reward to industry and thrift.


FIVE have anything to deplore in this threat
ened immigration it is this: that many of the
Danes and Swedes the purest in blood, the
healthiest and the most vigorous of the Euro
pean races, have been foolish enough to cast in
their lot with the Mormon fraternity. The
Mormon elders are wise in their generation.
In their attention to duty they are not forget
ful Of pleasure. In providing for the future
they are by no means Indifferent to the present
In preparing seed who shall serve the Lord it
must be honestly admitted that they have i'm
proved somewhat upon the ancient Jewish
model. Seriously, the growth and activity of
Mormonism are well worthy the attention Of
the religious societies.

FATAL AccIDENT.-About4 4 o'clock yes
terday morning, as the engine Of the morn
ing train from Washington was being backed
to the depot on Broad street, little negro
boy named Peter Linney, about fourteen
years old, jumped On the coupling of the
tender in Screamersville, and had gone as
far as First street, when he fell off, the
tender and engine passing over him, causing
instant death. His left thigh and shoulder

brains thrown out. He had neither parents
nor home, and, it is supposed, had jumped

of the accident until after he had reached
the depot, and should be wholly exculpated
from any blame in the matter: An inquest
was deemed unnecessary, and Coroner Lit

If the history of these Southern riots
is carefully looked up, it will be found
that they all trace their parentage di-
rectly to the Radical managers. They
have got the machinery in such work
ing order that when riot is needed in
any particular locality, for party end,
it can be had at short order. The New
Orleans riot was one wholly of their
own making; the Mobile riot was the
same. d Wherever We hear of an out
break in which the blacks are generally
made the cat's-paw and the suffering
party, we discover the hand of Radical
ism elumsily concealed in the concep-
tion and management of it. The Radi-
Gals, for instance, finding Georgia likely
to go against them in the general cleo
tion, first went to work and expelled the
negro members from the Legislature
Then, after duly parading the fact over
the country as another democratic
outrage" "perpetrated by a body in which
the Democrats were largely in a minor
ity, they have undertaken to intensity
the excitement by arming body of sew
eral hundred negroes, and marching
them with music into a peaceful town
which they were warned not to enter
in that menacin: manner; the violent
result of which measure they of course
foresaw and were not disappointed in.
And now their journals are crying the
affair up as a Democratic outrage!-
And the occurrence is pointed to as
proof of the still rebellious temper of
the people of Georgia! This sort of
thing is much too serious in its conse-
quences to be deliberately impressed as
an agent into party service. When
men take arms in their, hands instead
of arguments on their lips, they confess
that their cause is lost already. The
Radical managers are responsible for
all these riots.


The Camilla affair is but the sequel
to the affair of expulsion in the Legis-
lature of Georgia. Only dozen Radi-
Cal members vi Gndo UOuJ oiSuON ShN
protest which committee of colored
men we're to have presented to Congress.
Where were all the rest of the names! !!
In one branch of the Legislature, there
were some fifty Radical members, near
ly as many Democrats, and twenty-five
negroes. The latter were unscated,
eighty votes having been cast for the
proposition. And out of all the Radi-
calls in both Houses, but a dozen are
found who are willing to sign their
names to the memorial which was to be
presented to Radical Congress. How
is this to be styled a Democratic out
rage?" In fact, how could impudence
90 farther than in so styling it? And
the Camilla outrage is a got-up affair OF
the same pattern. We hear of no out
breaks at the South for which the
knavish Radical managers are not re-
sponsible. They plan them and carry
them out for the sole purpose OF feeding
the flames of that sectional prejudice
which all true Union lovers are SO anx-
ious to extinguish.-Boston Post.
