The BpeeWeft. last night were apt and effective, Ifcnd while the stranger guests put forward some of their best speakers, their American hosts suffered nothing in the comparison when the cultivated Dr. Adams offered the formal words of welcome.

ihe most suggestive point of all me talking was made when Dr. Adams said are living in: times when all "over the world there is a manifest longing 'for more of visible unity." Something like unity closer sympathy, coincidence of movement, combination in attack is the object of the Conference. The older Churoh is a unit. Against its enforced unity was made the original protest that has given a name to one half the Christian world. The system and methods of this unity are the subjects of the severest Evangelical oritioism.

Yet now the members of the Evangelical Alliance are longing for unity indeed the Alliance, by its very name and this longing. What do this impulse and the action flowing from it mean? Are they tantamount to a concession that in union after all is the only religious as well as sooial and political strength Is it meant that religious freedom has accomplished all it can, and that a return to authority is essential not only to religious progress but even to religious stability? Or is this a new protest by Protestantism against the logical conclusion.f rom its own premises Have toleration and latitudinarianism gone too far for the Evangelicals Does absolute freedom of individual thought threaten final supremacy so that there shall be no confinement within the borders of even the most elastio sect Or does the Alliance simply aim at offering, as the final triumph of its theories, a practical consistency of freedom of individual believers with the union of all believers for certain ends These questions are quite sure to be' considered among the many that will claim the attention of the Conference. Able members will join in these discussions. The essays and papers and speeches will be criticized and perhaps replied to by as able men outside the Alliance. The children of the elder church, as well as the advance guard of modern free thought, will watch with an interest more than curious the doings of this strong representation of that Protestantism which yet clings to forms and schemes and creeds and traditions.

And with only less interest will they be regarded by the mass ot people, who are, perhaps, coming more and more to think of these things as of only speculative importance. tary honor, great sooial position.

Governor Dix and his staff visited Casfle Garden yesterday for.the purpose of informing themselves concerning the work being done by the Commissioners of Emigration, at least the Governor said so in his speeoh. Whatever the object of the call may have been, it had the effect of drawing from the Commissioners a statement of results which, while hardly detailed enough for the purposes of criticism, was sufficiently specific to bring before the mind in outline all the perplexing forms of the emigration problem. According to their showing over 5,260,857 persons from Europe have, since the year 1847 up to the present time, been landed in New York. The effect of that human importation upon the development of the country may, in measure, be judged of, when it is stated that the oash value of eaoh in a political, eooiiomio sense, is $1,000. Multiply 1,000 by the number of the emigrants and the addition to the wealth of the nation by their presence appears to be $525,000,000,000, or something over double the amount of the national debt.

Apart from the value of the labor thus introduced, the Commissioners have found that the emigrants hare brought with them on an average $75 in gold, or an aggregate of over $400,000,000. This part of the subject how ever, is of curious rather than profound interest. Every man who thinks knows that labor is the only source of wealth, and that every honest workman therefore that comes to the shores of the United States must make positive addition to the general prosperity. There was a time, to be sure, when the foreigner was looked upon as one who had come to steal the native birth right, but that was before the national oharacter had got out of its nonage. Certainly there is no public man with a reputation for common sense to lose who would to day place himself in antagonism to the art and industry which nature has cast and is casting upon our shores.

What the United States have always needed, and what they require to day, is healthy muscle. ttase Hal la Iobtohh WntoTwi im Championship.

But their strong point is that every man of the nine la an earnest, reliable player, none othercan get a position in anv nine Harrv Wrisht commands.

The Philadelphias went all to pieces after the second inning, and seemed very muoh demoralized.

Mack played the at three innings for the Philadelphias and luuu ruurca i rum ine game, Devlin taxing ms place. Errors of Schafer, O'Bourke and Harry Wright, followed by good hits, gave the Philadelphias four runs, while two errors by Mack and four fine hits led to the Bostons also scoring four runs in the; first inning. Tho BostonB improved in their fielding after the first Inning, while the Philadelphias fell off materially, Fulmer going in topitoh in the eighth inning. The Philadelphias had scored four runs In the ninth Inning, with two men out, when the umpire called game on account of the darkness. The BostonB outplayed their opponents at every point, Wright's fielding being a salient feature, while a couple of brilliant catches by Treacy and one by Cuthbert were the only redeeming features of the general bad play of the Philadelphias.

The umpiring was impartial. The betting was even before the game commenced. A good deal of money changed hands on the result." The following Is a summary of the game PHILADELPHIA. BOSTOS. Cuthbert, 1.

The Mtjtdals Defeat the Athletics. The result of the contest between these clubs yesterday would Beem to confirm the statement of the Philadelphia papers that in the last game between the same nines the Mntnsls were not earnest in their efforts to win, for yesterday they had it all their own way almost from the start, and the Athletics did not play a poor game either. It Is the doubtful character of the play of the New York nine whichhaB so damaged their financial success this Beason in drawing crowded assemblages of spectators. The game of Saturday between the Mu tnslB and the Philadelphia nine ought to be another victory for the Mutuals, but the question is, will it be so? There waa some pretty fielding shown on both sides in yesterday's game, Sutton's fine third base play being conspicuous on the Athletio side, and that of Start on the part of the Mutuals, Mc Geary and Holds worth bearing off the palm at the bat. The best catches were made by Gedney and Murnan.

an 2o We Editor of the Brootlyn Eagte As I am opposed to consolidation, or the axtnexiiig ol tlrs' oounVCejrils totae Ottjr of Brooklyn at theruwent Oae, not onaeoount of tbVprinoiple, as I muBt frlyaoknowledge that if the publio in general, and the rulers they appoint would honeeSy and truly work together or the public interest, then ttie plan would, be a pnblio benefit, and there would be no objection to the same, bnt as things are now conducted, pe. need a oheok or general supervision to prevent iilprmle and the general obatruotious that ai thrown in the way of a faithful application of our laws. I do not mean to assert that all ire dlahoneat, but I do assert that most all ur puhUo affairs are conducted in a loose and careless manner, and obstructions are thrown In the way to prevent the publio from a knowledge of the and I contend that small communities have a better opportunity of detecting fraud and misrule when theyooonr, than large publio bodies. It is useless to appoint reform committees or make other laws to oheck abuses, until we have, a radical reform in the publio in general, and a proper and strict enforcement of the law under which we are now governed. I have written all that I wish to say before asking you to insert the same, except it may be in answer to any matter that I have brought forward, and I wish it distinctly understood that I shall make, no replies to any anonymous correspondents, (although I differ with you on that subject), and I have given yon all the matter at once, so that you may best suit your own convenience as to time and space.

With these remarks I shall proceed to make my objections, addressed to the eleotoraof the Town of New Iiota, in whioh I reride, and I have asked the opportunity ot appearing In your ooluuuu, so that the friends of annexation may point ont to the electors any misrepresentations or false assertions, if any I should make, as I truly desire that the Issue to be made shall be for the publio benefit. Yours with respect, Joseph F. BnxDQEs. TO THE ELEOTOBB OF THE TOWN OF NEW LOTS. Friends and fellow oitizeni As an opponent of annexation I desire to bring before you my views on the subject and in the first plaoe will make a few remarks on the general bill for the consolidation of the City of Brooklyn and all the county towns, known as Chapter 861, passed June 28, 1873.

I shall refer to this bill only in a general manner aa I am not sufflolently acquainted with tho views of the electors in the other four oounty towns, and do not desire to Interfere with their affairs against their wishes. I therefore address myself to the electors of the town In which I reside, and many of the remarks I make will apply equally to the other towns. I object to the bill Sec. 7 aa enacted, which appoints Commissioners to prepare a bill to carry out that object, thereby making It obligatory on them to commit themselves to that purpose without leaving them any discretion to say to thoBe they represent whether they deem it advisable or not, and as the bill was not brought before the Legislature by the parties la Interest, but it dictates to them what they must do instead of carrying ouf the wishes of the publio by their agents, for which duties they were elected, but sb the parties in Interest have consented thereto by appointing commissioners to act under it, it thereby gives said act a validity it did not possess upon its becoming a publio act. What were the professed motives for enaoting th's bill was it not to do away with the dual government, and abolish two set of publio oflloes, when one set wsb sufficient and thereby lessen our expenses and lighten our taxation? I believe from the discussion that haa taken place before the commission that all parties are now satisfied that object cannot legally be oarried out, but few publio offices can be abolished, and that it will inorease Instead of diminish expenses and therefore it is use leas to carry it into effect for that purpose.

Almost the first inducement held out to the county towns to become annexed is A VIOLATION OF THE FBINOTPLBS OF LAW. They say that for the purposes of taxation the property in the Beveral towns shall be assessed as agricultural lands except when the aama has been or may divided and used aa building lota. There la no authority for malting this distinction, we have no right to inquire for what purpose it is used, but what is its value. More on thta subject hereafter. The county towns are required to bear taxation for aU general Improvements that shall be made in the new olty (exoepUng parks), and although It is not denied that hereafter they would reap a benefit by the same at a distant day, yet they ar not in a situation at th pres ent time to bear the increased burden of taxation that would be caused by the same, aa at the present time the valuation of their lots la low, and until suoh time as the same shall be increased in value by necessary improvements, they oannot bear inoreated taxation and therefore annexation is unnecessary at the present time.

Great stress is laid on the increased valse to their lands that would accrae by the oounty towns being known as part of the great City of Brooklyn. There is an old saying, "a rose by auy other name would small aa sweet." It is not the name that gives value, but the energy and enterprise of those who own and conduct the affairs of a plaoe. It Is useless to sit by and call upon Hcroules to help us, unless wo will put our shoulders to the wheel and help ourselves. I have been thus brief in the remarks that I have made on the abovo bill, as I fully believe that on the first Tuesday of November the electors will vote against the same, and will therefore proceed more in detail to look into the bill to bo voted for on the third Tueaday of November, known ae the bill to annex the town of Non lots to the Olty ol Brooklyn, Chap. 863, and most of the remarks that I shill make will apply equally to both.

WHAT ABE THE BENEFITS lint the Town of New Lota win receive by being annexed to the City of Brooklyn, aa desoribed by the An nexation Committee of said town 7 They are aa follows, and the Committee say the electors are almost unani mous in favor of them. They say annexation meana 1. Bldgewood water An abundant supply of water for the use of the Fire Department, domestio and man ufacturing purposes to be furnished at once. 2. Steam engines for fire companies The use and protection from fire by the city Fire Department.

3. Beduced Fire Insurance. a. Improved and graded streets and gas A plan of regulation and general supervision over our streets and roads, 5. Protection to life and property by a olty organized police, 8.

Increased value to our property It will be doubled and trebled in value, amd aU at muoh leas coat than we can attain the same by ourselves. 7. Quick transit and increased railroad accommodations. Now let ua examine the subject, lu the order in whioh they are presented, and see If they are borne out by the facta Bldgewood water They aay that Immediately upon being annexed wo will be supplied with BidgewoooS water at the same rates as the present owners of Brook lyn property, without having to pay any of tho debt incurred for introducing the same into the city. Now, for the sake of argument, I will admit that they oan bo supplied at the eame rate without any additional charge.

New, can the small owners in the eormty towne afford to pay the same, whioh will be at the rate of two dollars and a half yearly for every vacant lot twenty five feet In width, In front of which the pipes are laid, without the use of the water, which in very many cases la more than the annual taxes paid for all purposes whatsoever on said lot at the pres ent time; and wherever there la a house built upon the lot they will have to pay from sevtn to twenty dollars per annum beside, before the water could be obtained for nse. It would require an' outlay of from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars perhouse for plumber's work, and after the above expenses should have been incurred, I think every family would require to spend from ten to twenty doners per annum for ice to make the water palatable to drink, whioh would be a yearly cost of from twenty to forty seven dollars for eaoh family that should use THB WATSB. But, I contend, If wo could pay such amounts, Brooklyn has not the ability or power to furnish us the same short of from seven to ton years from the present time, aa the preaant City of Brooklyn consumes daily within 1,000,000 gallons of its dally supply, and a large part of the present olty Is not piped, for If it was they would not have sufficient to supply its' present wants. I admit the oity is now engaged in erecting dams which will give them an additional dally supply of 10,000,000 gallons, which by the time the work is completed will be to supply the presont city, and which is as much as the present works are capable of furnishing tho olty, and although there Is an abundant supply.that can be obtained, yet before we can obtain the same for nse, it will be requisite to build another conduit, engine house and engines, and enlarge the reservoir, and if the same was commenced at. once it would take from live to eight years to complete the same, and at a cost of from four to atx millions of dollars, and we would have to pay oar quota of the same, whereas we could obtain an.

abundant supply for our own town by the Holly sys tem at a cost of about $360,000, and the works could be: completed and in use in about two years, and by which we could do away with all our fire engines and nearlj all of our present fire department, therefore I believe the first pout fails. STEAM FTBE ENGINES. Wo would have the use of the steam engines. would ask of what uae they would be to us, unless we bad water to ornlsh them, and I would state we have a I. fire department at present at a cost of about $3,100 per; annum, and If we could mulsh them withwater, they could extinguish almost any fire that might take place before the steam engines oould arrive it ihe tat from the distance they would have to come; bnt in oasa of in extensive conflagration, and we wore able to furnish water, we could confidently rely on the patriotism of the Brooklyn Fire Department to assist us in bur distress whether we were annexed or not; besides, if we were annexed, we would have a paid fire department, and as we have at present 177 firemen connected with our department, the cost would be about $161,000 per annum but I am willing to admit that about three quarters of our firemen would be discharged, but even in that case, It would be coot of more than $10,000 annum, a sum more than doubly sufficient pay interest on the cost of a water supply by the Holly system, bo sides paying the difference of the insurance rates and the coat of the increased force we require in ear police; therefor annexation fails on that point.

IT WOULD BXDTJCra OUB BIBB XN6TJBANOB BATES. I have made an examination of our assessment books for 1871, and allowing every building in the town to be insured to the amount of the value placed upon them by the assessors, It would amount to $1,116,000, and when they assess farming lands, they merely say lands and buildings, without placing any value on the buildings. I have, therefore, added for those build ings, making an aggregate value of $1,200,000. I have also obtained the rates of Insurance from several Insurance companies and their agents, and find the rates vary from 10 oents to $2 on the $100, the average rate being one per or $13,000 the total amount paid for insurance. Also I am informed, by tbe same companies, that If we were annexed, and had a supnly of water, they could only reduce their rates one quarter, or $3,000 in all.

And if we should obtain a supply of water tor ourselves, we could have the aamo reduotlon; therefore this point falls. i TafPBOVED AND GRADED BTBBETS and gas. That is a matter we can do ourselves in a better manner and at muoh less cost than It can done by the Olty of Brooklyn, besides if we were annexed wo ehoutd have no supervision over tho onuer OfrhaWDganu plAnnumbux grades andtf we desired any toformatlou to relation to the same Vfe ahooW have to tYel six or seven mUw to obWn tte (Mr course ait the special imDortance off this visit is derived from thdt souroeof so mahy. wars, and rumors of war, religion. Victor Emmanuel's danger lies on the side of France that France which for so long a time kept the venerable resident of the Vatican on tering throne.

There is never any aocouAtingfor what those wonderful people, the French, will take it into their heals to do. But three years ago baU opera, Mabille, and moneymaking seemed quite eno' for them. Then they took a great gulp of very nasty and expensive horrors. For two years they have been. Buffering a somewhat severe recovery, and have now succumbed to a violent attack of piety.

They are off to Paray le Monial and other shrines and apparently profoundly impressed with the desirability of propitiating the saints of the Catholic Churoh. It is true that many of the pilgrims take the road to their shrines after a truly Nineteenth Century fashion. But although first class carriages are a different mode of reaching a plaoe to pedestri anismin "sandal shoon," and the modern journey is beguiled by cigars and newspapers rather than fasting and bead counting, there is in these inies a good deal of significance in the male French pilgrim's going at all. It is all of a piece with the children in the gardens of the Tuileries being draped in blue, because it is the Virgin's color, and with other indications points strongly to one of those momentous tides in the affairs of men, which are more common in France than in any other country. it is against such tides that the King of.

Italy has to erect bulwarks. France has put the Pope back on his throne, and maintained him there before now. What if she were to try and repeat that experiment? Nor would ample pecuniary assistance for suoh a soheme be wanting elsewhere. There are large funds which have been accumulating in the Pope's hands, and there are Roman Catholics throughout the world who would double and treble their Peter's pence to consummate suoh a work. But, on the other hand, Papal ascendenoy in Italy would suit neither Vienna nor Berlin, its restoration would be the demolition of their work of years, for France's marvellously recuperative powers, the confidence they justly engender, and the large resources of the Vatican, France would, we rest assured, be playing a more ruinous game than ever, were she to open her trenches against the Quirinal.

The Modoc Murderers. On this, the hanging day of Captain Jack and his accomplices in the murder of Canby and Dr. Thomas, a correspondent makes a final appeal for mercy. We beg to differ from his conclusions. The Government will never have another such opportunity to teaoh the Indians both its purpose and its power as the present.

The warriors who killed regular soldiers, in terrible burlesque of battle, are treated merely as prisoners of war, with the additional inoubus of their previous atrocities to make their captivity life long. The others, who treacherously assassinated Canby and Thomas, ore hanged as murderers. The Indians will appreciate the distinction. When they are convinced that the gallows is to be the in evitable supplement of murder and rapine, they will conceive respeot not only for the law, but as well for those who make it and administer it. The palaver business is a sanguinary anachronism.

The modern treatment of the disease must be heroio, and no medicine will act more quiokly or with better efficacy than prompt execution of the common law among the white and the red alike. A captured white man on the Congo River in Africa captured by the natives Mr. Charles Livingston of England believes is his son.

A Committee of the Georgia Press Association has received sufficient enoouragement from other States to feel warranted in calling a meeting, to be held at 8t. Louis, on November 20th, to organize a National Press Association. The Harlem Railroad Company has been recently subjected to a grievous imposition in the patronage of riders who took long trips on short tickets for example, buying a tioket to Harlem, and riding to Xremont. Several oonduotors organized a "job" against these picayune people, and spotted a large number of them. Then they began to ask fare of them after leaving the station to whioh they had paid.

It was indignantly refused. They were caught by having their tiokcts punched twioe instead of ouce, and not getting off at the next station. Being required to show their check, the telltale two holes did the business for them. Some very respectable looking people were engaged in this. In the presence of 40,000 people, yesterday, the corner stone of a new State Capitol building was laid at Lansing, Michigan.

In relation to gas we have oompany that will supply us If we are willing to pay for the same, but if we 7ers annexed every private olUien using the gas would have to lose one' day every month toTw hfi'gas bin in the City, whilst here hs could dot the same without any trouble. therefore we do not require annexation for this pur pose. PBOTBOTION TO LIFE AND PBOPKBTT BT A OTTr ORGANIZED POLICE. What more protection oan wa have than at present We can have any number of policemen under the present law that we are willing to pay for and at the same cost ss if annexed and have more oontrol over them than if they were under the general oontrol of the Oity, therefore there is on this head by annexation.

Increased value to our It will be doubled and troubled In value; what will occasion this rise? We cannot expect others to help us if we will not help ourselves it is only by our own energy and enterprise that we can induoe others ooine and settle with ua. We must make suoh Improve ments to our properties that It will make this plaoe a desirable place to live in, and not frighten every stranger away that comes to examine our town by the Information they here obtain, that we want nothing done but are willing to remain as we are. I have been engaged for fifteen or twenty years in endeavoring to get avenues and streets opened through the town, but have been frustrated by the fanning interest, who will neither open streets or sell their land, but desire others to improve all around them so that thair property will enhance in value at the expense of others, wjiile they only wish to pay a light tax, throwing the burden of taxation on the small property ownere, who have done everything that haa given Increased value to property In our town. I have also been engsged for the last four years, using every legal means in my power, to have our taxes assessed in a proper and uniform manner, so that all parties should pay their burden of taxation in a rateable proportion, agreeable to the value or the property they possessed, but have been obstructed in my efforts by the very parties whose duties were to assist me' in carrying ont the manner in which our properties should be assessed as the law directs. But Instead of that the whole burden of taxation la thrown upon those who own but small parcels, and by whose exertions all Improvements are made in the town, and who give increased value to our property while those who are most benefited by the exertions of the small owners are un willing to bear their proportion of taxation, and are the parties who throw obstructions in the way of all improvements ai.

I prevent the growth and Improvement of the town, and this local bin, (see. U) proposes to perpetuate this misrule, and make it legal to oppress the poorer community and throw the burden of taxation upon them. I object to see of said local bill which proposes to give validity to chapter 670 of the laws of the State of New York, whioh was passed in violation of law, and is an unconstitutional sot, whioh proposes to take the property of individuals against their will, and deprives them of the power of determining how it shall be used for their benefit, and as they shall deem moBt beneficial to themselves and the publio interest. I contend the small owners of property are unable to bear Increased taxation until such times as by needful improvements, made under their own supervision and direction, their lands shall bo so increased in value as to enable them to pay city taxation, whioh they will be called upon to pay In case we should be annexed! therefore It falls on this point. QUICK TBANSIT AND INCREASED BATJultOAD ACCOMMODATIONS.

I cannot perceive what relation annexation has upon this subject; already one company is Incorporated and organized for building an underground railroad, by which they propose to give as quick transit, but it will require a long time to oomplete the same about seven years. Also, last Winter we had a bill passed by the Legislature incorporating the silent elevated railroad whioh would require three years to complete the same; when we could be carried from near Fulton Ferry Brooklyn, to Woodhaven, Queens County, In fifteen minutes, but for some unaccountable cause the Governor has recenUy vetoed tbe same, and therefore we have loat another year by It. Also, there is the new motive power proposed by Aid. Blchardson, which, If he la allowed to use the same, osnnot gain more than fire minutes in time between the ferries and East New York. I do not mean to assert that it could not make quicker time, but by the obstacles and obstructions that will always occur on a surface road, It Is inexpedient to let it run at a quicker rate, owing to the dangei of life, limb and property, and the only advantage to be gained by it is that it could put on a train of several cars, amd tbereby give the pasaengers seats, instead of huddling us together like sheep.

There is one other accommodation that haa oeeu offered to us by the Broadway and the City Ballroad companies, which Is, they proposed to lay their traots through our town from the Brooklyn Olty line to our boundary line at Queans Oounty on condition they were allowed to ohargo two oenta additional fare for each pais anger beyond the clay line, which would have been a great accomodation to four fifths of our' population, wherear, we now have to pay ten cents fare by a one horse car for the same distance, which does not make one tenth the number of trips that would be made by the above named companies. The above accommodation was defeated by the annexation party of our town, who tried to make pur townsmen believe that if we were only annexed the Olty of Brooklyn would compel said oompaniea to extend their tracts and allow them no additional compensation therefore. As they oontended that by extending the city limits they could stretch their contraot in the same way, and by suoh foolish arguments the publio has been deprived of at great accommodation. I would merely ask the gentleman who was the most strenuous advocate for that argument, if he had contracted to build a two story house rora oertain stun, If the party with whom he oontraatod thought it would be bettor to enlarge the same and make it a three story 1 would he be willing to make the enlargement without additional compensation I have commented upon all their points and oannot peroeivo that we are a gainer by any of them, but that by carrying them out we should lose oontrol of our affairs, be burdened with inoteaaed taxation, and nothing gained by the same. I therefore deem it our duty to put this matter down by such a decided vote, that it will not bo agitated again for a number of years.

I would add a few more remarks while on this subject. It Is our duty to do away with the agitation that haa prevented anything being done for tho last few yean, to unite and combine together for the publio good, to keep oontrol of our own affairs to put out hands im our pock eta and our ahoulders to the wheel and with united action to make such needful improvements in our town aa yrill Induce othtra to oome with their capital and settle among us, our location is unsurpassed, we have every element within and aurroandlng us to make oar town a great and desirable place to live In, it only requires energy and enterprise among ourselves, to accomplish what we desire. We should act, not sit still and call upon others to help us, but we must help ourselves then we can accomplish anything we wish. Finally, Iwonldaskthe Annexation Committee of she Tojmof New Lots to thoroughly examine, read, mark and Inwardly digest what I have written on this subject, and If they perceive I have committed any errors, mistakes, or made erroneous statements, that they will lay the same bare before the electors, that none may be deceived or mlBled anything I have written. But if they oannot do that, but find what I have stated to be fair and oandid, then I oall upon them aa good honest citizens to do what they professed to do, to act for tho public good, and to go to the polls in a body and vote as a unit against annexation, and to advise all their Mends to do tho same.

It value as an Adrertlslns; medium la tberefore ap parent The Democratic Ooaventlen. The following is a list of the candidates nominated by the Democratic Convention yesterday at TJtica: Secretary of State, Diedrlch Winers. Controller, AsherP. Nichols. State Treasurer, Thomas Raines, Attorney Genera, Daniel Pratt.

Canal Commissioner, 3as. Jaokson, Jr. State Engineer and Surveyor, Sylvanue Sweet. StatePrlson Inspector, G. W.

Millspaugh. This is a strong tioket, in the sense that it will be found difficult to Bay anything to the discredit of the men whose names are placed upon it. The Convention would have had no possible excuse for the nomination of exceptionable candidates, for there was very little competition for places, and the Convention found more difficulty in seeking candidates for positions, than in finding positions for candidates. There was so little lobbying that one of the delegates found it safe to stigmatize the personal efforts of Mr. Willers in obtaining the favor of delegates, as if it were a thing unheard of that those who want places should ask for them.

Mr. WiUers, if elected Secretary of State, will perform the clerical duties of the office with industry and fidelity. He has spent several years in Albany in subordinate positions under the State Government, and for two years was deputy in the office for the headship of which he is now a candidate. He has acted as private secretary to Governor Seymour, and his courtesy in that position made him many friends throughout the State, among those who had occasion a visit to Albany on business with the Governor. Mr.

Seymour's eulogy of his old subordinate in the Convention yesterday, determined his nomination, and proves that Mr. 'Willers recommended himself to the Governor as to those who had official business to transact with him while he was the State's Chief Magistrate. Two years ago, Mr. Willers was nominated by the Democrats for Secretary of State, but was defeated by the Republican nominee. His nomination was urged on that occasion mainly on the ground that it would strengthen the tioket" to place a German name upon it, and as "Diedrich" is unmistakably German, Mr.

Willers was adjudged to be an available oandidate." His nomination was then proposed by an enthusiastic and corpulent yeoman from Seneca County, who urged it on the somewhat singular grounds that Mr. Willers's father was a native born Dutchman that he was still living, in the enjoyment of all his faculties, at the age of eighty, and that he was probably the only man living in this country who had fought under Blucher, at Water loo Whereupon "Has" Wheeler, of Brooklyn, who was acting as a delegate in the Convention, facetiously proposed that if the recommendation of service under Blucher amounted to anything, the nomination belonged, unquestionably, to the elder Willers. The nomination of Mr. Asher P. Nichols, of Buffalo, for Controller, is a very strong one.

He has represented his County in the State Senate, and in the venal period of Tweed's ascendancy, he maintained his record without a stain. When Judge Allen was elevated from the Controller's office to the Court of Appeals bench, Governor Hoffman filled the vacancy thus created by appointing Mr. Nichols, and the appointment was ac ceped as a concession to the element of the party adverse to Tweed and his adherents. The nomination of Daniel J. Pratt, of Syracuse, for the position of Attorney General, is creditable to the party making it.

Mr. Pratt is an ex Judge of the Supreme Court, a lawyer of ripe experience and ability, and a man of unquestioned integrity. It is a compliment to our fellow townsman, Mr. Silliman, who is the nominee of the Republican party for this office, that his political opponents have accepted him as a candidate hard to beat, and have tried their best to match him, in all that goes to make up the qualifications required in an attorney for the State and the people. The nomination of Mr.

Raines for the Trea suryship is a concession to the Liberal Republican element, and it so happened that the Democraoy were in a position to make it, and recognizes at the s'ame time fidelity and faithfulness in the performance of public trust. Mr. Raines was elected to the office of Treasurer by the Republicans. He saw fit to support Horace Greeley for President. His old associates were not unwilling, two weeks ago, to condone this political offence on condition that Mr.

Raines renewed his allegience to the Administration party. Mr. Raines is not a politician, and he refused to admit that what he did as duty should be repented of in consideration of a political position. Mr. Sweet, the nominee for State Engineer, is such a man as a private individual select, if he desired the faithful performance of the duties devolving on this officer.

Mr. Sweet is a man of repute in his profession, and he is in every way a better man for the place than his Republican competitor. Mr. Jackson is an ex Mayor of Lockport, to whose wealth he has contributed as the conductor of a large manufacturing business. It is seldom that the Canal Ring" fail to obtain candidates of their own choice from both parties.

If the Ring had a "finger in the pie" at Utica yesterday there is no trace of its diget discernible at this distance. Mr. Millspaugh, who was nominated for State Prison Inspector, has been twice a member of the Legislature, where he made a fair record. We cannot recognize in him a special fitness for this important place, which has been accepted as a sort of stock, by State politicians, in which they have short candidates who are content with the questionable distinction, of late years, forded by connection with our State Prison management. This management ought to be taken out of the slough of politics altogether, and neither party evince any disposition to make the attempt, by the nomination of candidates of especial fitneBs for prison management, and without regard to political claims.

So much of the platform as has been bor rowedfrom Jefferson is exceedingly good. The Republican party never can live up to it is at present retain its ascendancy. If the Democrtic party had lived up to it, it never could have been permanently placed in the minority it hopes now to get out of, by pledging itself, in the future, to live up to the simple, sublime and ancient faith formulated for it by Thomas Jefferson the evangel of Republican Democracy in America. The meeting of the Alliance. The Evangelical Conference, as a sign of the religious times, is certainly worth all the anticipative attention it has received, represents one side of the great controversy going on in the religious world; On the one hand are the deep and crowded columns of the old Roman Catholic Church.

On the other hand are the vast masses of Christian believer. for whom the Alliance speaks. Of course the Alliance does not include all Protestants. But the Anglican Church, which is excluded, holds a conservative and exclusive rather than a progressive position, whilo the Unitarians, Universalists, and other Liberal Christians, who are also excluded, are independent skirmishers along the advanced theological line, and not disciplined forces content to submit to any ecclesiastical system or machinery whatever. What is called in teohnical phrase the "aggressive" Protestantism of today sends its delegates from all parts of the world to the Evangelical Conference now assembled in New York.

The gathering is significant, not for any decisive measures to be adopted, because the Conference is clothed with no' power to issue authoritative decrees, but for its influence on that public opinion which determines the religious and even the secular characteristics of the age. These quite obvious reflections have been occurring for some time past to all thoughtful people, and leave no room for surprise that the throng of applicants for admission to the reception of delegates last night was greater than any hall in New York could have accommodated. The initial proceedings were in excellent taste, and if the same good judgment characterize the Conference throughout its session, the of Canada, or Gamier. rtereree uvyrcuu. 1 Marker Bobert WBmartb.

The Chairman made lie request with a sort of ysu know how it ls yourself expression. The best way fer the press to do under the circumstances is not to report the games at all, then no one's feelings can be hurt. BOARD OF HEALTH. Delirium Tremens Cases The Flltbr Condition of Tiffany Place PtaTat clans Excused, for not Reporting Coia toirous Diseases Mortality Report. The Board of Health met last evening.

Commissioners Conkling and Hutchison present. Secretary Henry M. Connelly read the minutes of the last meeting which were approved. The following from the Sanitary Superintendent was read: dhubium tremens gases. To the Secretary of the Board of Health Sib TMs morning the ambulance was called to the Eighth Precinct to take a man with delirium tremens.

Ambulance Burgeon Cashing conveyed the man to the Brooklyn Olty Hospital, bnt was refused admittance by the Superintendent. I was called upon to provide a place for the man and called upon the Chairman of the Board oi Trustees of the City Hospital, who sustained the action of the Superintendent and showed me the rules and regulations which provide that bo person having mania a pete. shall be admitted as a charity patient. I therefore advised that application be made to the Long Island College Hospital, with what reBult I do not know. I need not say that these cases are often urgent, and that provision for such as are to the hands of the police should be made.

But it Is of no use to call the ambulance if the cases are not for the hospital. Some rule must be made, for wheat the ambulance takes up such a oase it cannot be left on the street. Shalt the ambulance be instructed to ooa vey delirium tremens cases to Flatbusb, or shall ths Police Precinct keep them and call upon the Commissioners of Charities. Yery Kespectf ally, B. A.

Seodb, Sanitary Supt. Commissioner Conkling moved that the matter be BEFEBBED TO THE HOARD OF POLICE with the recommendation that such cases be detained at the Station House until it is proper to remove them to tbe Flatbusb Hospital through the Commissioners of Charities. So ordered. Sanitary Inspector Colton reported an accumulation DIET AND FTLTH IN TlFArtX PLACE, extending from Harrison street to Degraw.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle; A band of religious worshippers was set upon last Sunday and shamefully handled by a mob, composed mostly of Methodists from the Greene avenue M. E. Churoh, an official member of that church Inciting the mob by calling the speaker a liar. We have repeatedly been disturbed and have repeatedly applied to the police for protection, bnt though they Bend an officer in just long enough to excuse themselves, they generally leave before the meeting breaks np, and are left to the mercy of the mob, who Bet upon us with stones and clubs and yells. A gentleman narrowly escaped with his life last Sunday.

If this is allowed to continue there will be murder committed, for the mob seem Intent upon it. One of our members has already bad his head cut open with a stone. We appeal to the law for protection or for punishment, and not to tha mob. Can we have it J. M.

Kino, 635 Bedford avenue. THE HUSTINGTON OUTRAGE. It Finds One Apologist In Brooklyn. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eewte Do you consider it very gentlemanly, or at all in keeping with the position yonr papor occupies in Brooklyn, for you to abuse a young lady whose only crime was being loved and annoyed by the most detestable, loathsome vntch that ever drew the pure air of Heaven Mrs. Royal SammiB is as due a young lady as you ever had tbe good fortune to meet, and as for her being unlady llhe in viewing Charles Eelsey after he had received his just deserts, she did not know what she was going to see when she left the room for the yard, for if she had, you can rest assured she wculd never have gone.

You also take very great pleasure In abusing Dr. Banks, who is as fine a gentleman as ever entered the Eagle office, and his crime has been befriending three ladles, whoso life had been made a burden to them by that beast, Kelsoy. I don't suppose you will publish this, as it is not in aocbrdauoe with your views, but, I can assure you, if you knew the parties you so unmercifully abuse, you would very soon write different. Dbfe shamt. DR.

CUTLER CORRECTED. 7b the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaale: I wish to say a few words in reply to Dr. Cuyler's statements in relation to the "Tabernaele." He says that our entire assets after tho Are were 16,009, and entirely Ignores the fact that among our assets was aplct of ground on Schcrmerhora street, 160x100 feet, worth at least $20,000. Tabkenaolh. A HIGH COMPLIMENT.

The Insurance Commissioner of Massachusetts, in his recently published Life Report, dlsceases the subjectfof annual statements very thoroughly. After referring In pretty plain terms to oertain life companies, whose statements noed explanation or oontaln manifest "notions," Mr. Olarke goes on to say But other evils exist in the rendering of annual statements. Among the moat troublesome are the great delays which are beginning to oconr in their preparation and transmission. We are unwilling to entertain a suspicion that they are kept back for any sinister purpose, bat the delays occasion muoh smbarrasament, and are calculated to impair pnblio oonfldence in tho aoouraoy of the statements.

It leads, moreover, to a susplotous scrutiny of some of the Items, and rival critics not unfrequently attempt to create the belief that the accounts are doctored to meet the exigencies of the oase. Most of the companies, we are happy to say, are oommendably prompt in tills matter, and If ail would emulate tbe example of tie United States Life, of New York, both their own and the business at large would derive material benefit. The United St tee promptly closed 1U books on the but day oi the year, and Its annual statements were almost Immediately ready for delivery, yet I to business Is aa widely extended as that of many oompaniea which take from one to two months for that pnrnose. Such unotuallty and promptness are highly creditable, and attoat the excellence of executive management. Let us hops for an extension of such usage.

This Is a high oompUment to the United States Life, equally remarkable (considering its official oharaoter) and well deserved. In presenting to the departments and to the publio its annual statement with such peculiar promptness last New Year's Day, this sterling old company haa voluntarily established a precedent for Itself whioh will be followed la the future, aad has also left, without excuse all other companies whioh have acquired dilatory habits. Upon these latter, promptness will bo compulsory hereafter, both upon grounds of self respeot and business interest. And that oh Dunotual rendition of statements Is entirely oompatlbls with 'trlat aoouraoy Is proven by the faot that the statement referred to covering transactions amounting to millions of dollars varied only some 9700 from the return as Anally audited andpub llshed by the lnsuranoe departments. As Mr.

Clarke pointedly says: "8uoh punctuality and promptness axe highly oreditable and attest tho excellence ol executive management" It Is within our not only that the United States life expects UmaXe Its annual statement for 18TS on the of January next, but also that the coming statemeat will be a reoord of progress and prosperity, whioh wul abundantly justify the eoraoauy'a olatm to be one of the most substantial and best managed Ufe oOOSf In ihe oowrtry. Probably the oritio 'appaf ent contradiction. Perhaps he does not Comprehend it himself. But it is nevertheless ingenious. After a half column of what Hamlet ought to be, the Tribunes gentleman says that the explanation of the performance lies in the fact that, the "Italian version of Shakspeare 's tragedy is a wretohed travesty." So of course the failure whioh the audience did not detect, but which the eagle eye of the Tribune's critic at once discovered, was due to the Italian version.

For a transparent humbug it would be hard to rival this latest transpontine "criticism." The shameless balance struck between the demands of the manager and the rights of his readers by the "critio" is visible in every line of it. It would be impossible to find in Italy journalists venal enough or ignorant enough to advertise an American melodramatic ootor as these New Yorkers adulate his foreign counterpart. It is an insult to the intelligence of the American public, whioh has risen far above the means used to swindle it into supporting native stupidity and foreign worth lessness. Some day a manager will find his fingers pretty severely burned in meddling with the "critics," and after such a disaster we may look for the "vigorous oritioism" whioh the Tribune, "by its own confession" does not possess. The Westfleld Appeal.

The Court of Appeals has reversed the decision of our local benoh in the matter of the Westfield. Three points of law underlay the Vanderbilts' appeal. The first was that the victims of the disaster were violating a law' of the State against Sunday travel when the accident occurred. The second point was, that the explosion was not due, legally, to the negligence of the defendants. The third and most important point was that the City Court had no jurisdiction in the premises.

It is probably on this point that the appeal succeeded. It would be idle to comment, after the lapse of two years on the moral of the oalamity. Of course it would be more than human on the part of the. survivors to forget both the horrors of the event and the indifference of the Company. But it is questionable whether any further proceedings will be taken in their behalf.

The Company has doubtless been mulcted to a very considerable extent in fees and costs. Perhaps, indeed, as much has been spent as would have compensated its victims. Having established a precedent the Vanderbilts will await their next auta de fe with confidence, know ing just how far their responsibility extended. They should not forget, however, that the public will, perhaps, look on it as a precedent also. In the latter case Justioe Lynch may anticipate any ultimate appeal after a re petition of the accident.

England In 1873. Notwithstanding the Bradlaughs and Od gers, and the awful vaticinations touohing the rapid growth of republicanism from the pen of "Piccadilly," whioh appear in our enlightened contemporary, the World, it really seems to those who have not the prophetio soul of that famous correspondent, that the social and political condition of England is not only very much as it was, say twenty five years ago, but very likely to remain so. If anybody will take the trouble to dive into papers and pamphlets published a year or two prior to 1831, he will find any amount of forebodings as to convulsions, revolutions, and all the rest of it. The House of Peers would disappear in a year or two the throne would follow, and lucky would be its occupant if he died a natural death. Of course inheritance through primogeniture, entail, and all suoh aristocratic doings, would be swept to the four winds, and the Englishman who left his country in 1830 would scarcely recognize it on his return in 18f0.

Have any suoh prophecies been in any way fulfilled? Not a bit of it. The parliament which met after the first Reform Bill of course contained a small seotion of men who would not have previously been able to obtain seats there but who can say that its animus was essentially different in most respects to its predecessors'. Was Conservatism killed? If so, it is strange that the strongest minority existing for many years was presently formed by Conservatism under Sir Robert Feel. Then to pass on to a later date and to the next reform bill. Again the prophets were at work.

A further reduction of the fraction would put the "gentlemen" out of the Legislature. The House of Commons would be a House of Shopkeepers. Was this the result Let any one turn to the lists of the lower house of the Legislature and note the numbers of men who write Lord, Honorable and Sir before their names. A seat in the House of Commons remains, in fact, to day, as much a stamp of social consequence as it ever did, whilst its political importance is greater than ever. It has become perfectly evident that the bulk of the people of England will not elect to seats in their legislature men without ballast.

A man that goes in for politics in England, without sufficient merit of his own or without close connection with those whose means are ample, is regarded by the average small British householder as an adventurer who probably does not pay his washerwoman regularly and is going in for politics to see what he can make out of them, and he is condemned accordingly. The Briton has a rooted horror of "adventurers," utterly distrusts them, and wouldn't be represented by them in the Legislature on any consideration. This iB why the Bradlaughs and they never so loudly and hold they never so many meetings, cannot by any means manage to get even into a twice reformed House of Commons and the feeling is a species of conservatism which shows no signs of abatement. Again to recur to a proof of social conservatism. The English papers have lately been filled with accounts of "Comings of Age." The festivities on these occasions seem only to differ from those a hundred years ago, by their far greater splendor.

In 1773 the guests invited on such occasions only included the family, a few intimate friends, and the neighbors within a range of some fifteen miles. But nowadays speoial trains bring crowds of fashionables from London, tenants reaoh the castle from estates in distantr counties, and festivities once extending over a couple of days are prolonged for a week. Then the last accounts tell of splendid entertainments in Scotland to celebrate the majority of the heir to the Earldom of Cro martie, while nothing that money oan do has been spared to render the coming of age of the future owner of Duncombe Park said to be the largest estate within a ring fence in England memorable in the annals of the great County of York. No doubt the marvellous slowness with whioh changes come about in social politioal England is due in great part to the singular moderation of character of the people, politically speaking, and furthermore, in no slight degree to the feeling that, though in a small country with an enormous population a rise in life must necessarily be for the few, comparatively, the highest known are nevertheless really open to all. The ancestor of the owner of Duncombe Park, the Earl of Fever sham, was but a London tradesman, though the young heir is to day a Viscount.

The three sons of Mr. Brasser, the contractor, hare splendid estates, the status already of "country gen try," and two of them write M. P. after their names. The son of Peel, the cotton spinner, was Prime Minister, and refused not only a coronet but the garter, Lord Chancellor Cairns', a student of Trinity College, Dublin, and son of a North of Ireland gentleman of moderate means, was Lord Chancellor of England and a peer at forty nine.

The' present Archbishop of York, the son of a small draper in a little town of Cumberland, took precedence of every peer, and was addressed as "His Grace" at 46 When a man rises in England he rises to so muoh wealth, heredi Dramatic Criticism. The advent of Salvini marks, we trust, the crisis of critical imbecility in New York. Things have been growing from bad to worse at an alarming pace, and we earnestly hope that after the conspicuous exhibition they have made of themselves in respect to Salvini, our brethren of New York will relapse, if to nothing better, at least into the. amiable fatuity which has generally characterized them. The column devoted in moBt other journals to criticism of art is, in the New York papers, a portion of the advertising space.

One talented person, whose heraldic offices are in much request among mature singers, dubious actresses and speoimens from that collection of monstrosities, the "lyceum," has developed the most surprising elasticity in his critiques. Beginning with what may, in default of a more expressive phrase, be styled kaleidoscopic puffery of a prima donna, he will neatly end his column with a glittering tribute to the resonanoy of Mr. Brown's celebrated pianos. Two or three other gentlemen of the judicial caste give play to almost incredible impartiality by accepting salaries from the managers whose productions, of course, they are by this means induced to examine with greater keenness. But the climax of this sort of thing was reached when nearly every critical pen over the river was set to work originating foreign commendations of Salvini, long before that estimable artist touched these shores.

That previous rehearsal in very properly compensated advertisement might have some tendency to affect the formal criticism, is a mischance that apparently never entered the brain of that otherwise astute person, who is responsible for the introduction of Salvini to the American people. Of course such a thing never became an absolute calculation with the wily impressario. The gentleman first alluded to as a frenzied devotee of Mr. Brown's grand square and upright pianofortes, which in a burst of ecs taoy he pronounces the Favorites of the artistic world," acted as sponsor for Mrs. Charles Moul ton, and with such enthusiasm that the vulgar and uncritical mind contemplated him for a time as peculiarly adapted to the repressive influences of a lunatio asylum.

As the cuckoo precedes the Spring so did this critic forerun the cantatriee. If our memory serves us right, the American pnblio was urged to patronize Mrs. Moulton not so much because of her voice, nor of her beauty, but because when once reminded in Paris at a court ball that admission was only allowed on that occasion to titled ladies, she forced her way into the imperial salons with the boast that she was an American sovereign, and she would be governed by no such bagatelles as the imperial command. Which may have proved that Mrs. Moulton' has an eccentric notion of what constitutes good manners, but which did not prove that the privilege of hearing her sing was worth two dollars an evening.

It was the gifted creature who thus reviewed the genius of Mrs. Moulton to whom Signor Salvini's manager seems to have taken himself. There was evidence of the same fine Roman hand in the precursory pamphlets which announced the coming of the Italian like a literary snow storm. And when the foreigner's Othello startled the town with its suggestions of the players of the Oriental quarter, it was the herald of Mrs. Moulton who flared out as the inflator of Signor Salvini.

He was "ably supported," to quote a favorite expression of the professors of the art of advertisement, by all the brotherhood of Puffs. We were gravely requested to believe that Salvini never had any prototype, and uever could have a successful imitator, in the realization of Shakspearian characters. Wa were all wrong in our theories of the classio drama. We were all blockheads, idiots, pirn, in our ignorance of what Shakspeare meant and of what Shakspeare did not mean. In a word, we were chaos and Salvini was light.

All of which was, of course, very delightful and very gratifying, and when Salvini came and when the blockheads and idiots and pigs hod been surprised by his quaint resemblance to tho artists of the East Side of whom we have written, the morning papers, in a column or two apiece, of rather ambiguous character, pronounced him the Avatar of dramatic art. The Tribune, which was almost as enthusiastic as our Moultonian friend about Salvini, to day expresses the following heat opinion of its own critic Mr. James Jackson Jarves prints in the Independent some remarks upon artists and critics, In the course of which he says We Americans began with over coddling art. Every thing that appeared under its name was treated as one pets a pretty ootid, until It beoame restive if fed with anything except ewcete. A wholesome truth made it maliciously angry." All which has a much wider application than Mr.

Jarves seems to give it. We have not only coddled our painters and onrstatnaries, but we have encouraged nonsense and pretension in literature and on the stage. Our actors hare grown intolerant not merely of censure but of sober criticism our singers are angry If they are even praised with qualifications and managers look upon It as the chief duty of the newspapers to help them along. Wo shall never havo a rigorous art of any kind in America until we have a vigorous criticism. Of course this is not a polite suggestion to the gentleman who does literature, art and the drama for the Tribune that he paok up his trunk and go.

Not a bit of it. But the pnblio will detect a queer appositeness in this paragraph to something we find in the very next column. Last night Salvini essayed a part with which the general familiarity is so great that to hoodwink the publio by persuasion would be impossible, So the Tribune which dared not meddle with humbug for a few days at least, in Salvini's behalf, thus adroitly avoids telling the truth about him. It says first that the applause was loud, the house full, and the reoeipts of the treasurer something astonishing. Having devoted a third of its critical space to these very pertinent matters, it continues "If the excellence of the performance were to be measured by the popular Verdict, it would be recorded "as an emphatio Which is a pleasant way of Baying that it was Buch an excellent performance that it took all That the emigrant has brought and is bringing and therefore he deserves the welcome which the statesmanship of the country is giving.

Of muoh deeper interest, however, than the money value of the individual emigrant, is the effect which his presence exerts upon the' native American character. In' the oourse of a curious volume recently published in Boston, the author asserts, as1 the result of careful observation, thht the tendency of the eastern face and head is toward similarity with that of the aborigine The effect he says of residence in these Eastern StateB is to make the resident conform to the Indian. Whether this be' wholly or only partially true need not be discussed here; but it is in line with the generally accepted theory of science, that character both of mind and body is in great measure a material product. But, leaving that out, what effeot is this tide ot emigration having upon what we ore pleased to Ball the native American and what is likely to be'' the result when foreign contribution to our labor market ceases. That it must cease some day, so far as Europe is concerned, is not to be doubted any more than that the day is not at any great distance from the present The law of equilibrium applies to emigration as it does to water.

Already we are making some articles cheaper than they oan be manufactured in Europe, and in not a few lines of industry the American laborer is less amply remunerated than his transatlantic brother. Wages determine emigration equalize them and the packet ship will have little to do. One very obvious effeot of emigration has been to drive American born youths from manual labor into the professions. Instead of becoming mechanics, they have gone behind counters the carpenter's tools have been rejected for the accountant's pen; and the smith's hammer has been dropped for the lawyer's brief. The idea seems to have ob tained possession of the mind that labor of the hand is degrading, that it is beneath an American to earn a living by hard muBOular work, and that dignity requires oleari hands, a white shirt front and a black coat.

To the emigrant has been assigned the so called drudgery of life and the emigrant has done it cheerfully. The effeot of this arrangement is. everywhere apparent to day. Lift the foreign born workman out of the United States to morrow, and there is not an important workshop in the country that would not have to cease operations. We are de pendent wholly upon the emigrant.

It is not the Amerioan competing with Europe, it is the European in Amerioa competing with the European at home. The statement thus directly made is not pleasant, but it is true. In this way emigration has affeoted the native character, and is likely to affect it for some time to come. The American has be come a speculator, a lawyer, a minister, a politician, a journalist, everything, in short, but a right down honest, hard, worker, and in' becoming these things has taken leave in large measure of his manhood. Every child is taught not the dignity of labor but the dignity of getting along without it.

Our school books are filled with the rotten ambi tion which gilds office at the expense of truth. Boys before they learn the Ten Command ments have, it impressed upon their minds that by being "smart" they may rise to the presidency; but they travel well on to old age before learning that happiness is nofc.to be found in the White House, and that the dignity of old fashioned honesty is not to be improved upon. How long this state of things will continue it is difficult to say its remedy is part of the emigration problem. It may be that the people of the land will suddenly awake to a relization of the fact that they cannot afford to turn over all the hard work to emigrants even if they should agree to do it for nothing. The statement of the Commissioner to the Governor also brings up the Chinese prob lem, the transportation the expedi ency of squandering publio lands upon fraud ulent railroad undertakings, and the possibili ties lurking in the antagonism of different races and religions being daily imported.

A great many curious things will come to pass before the Chinamen, the negroes, the Russians, the Spaniards, the Irishmen and the Germans who have made their homes upon the continent, are resolved into anything like homogenity. The Emigration problem is larger than the men who imagined they have mastered it. In the latter part of the twentieth century it will be more clearly comprehended than it is to day, and some results will by that time possibly be worked out. Victor Emmanuel's Visits, Unquestionably at the present time Italy is politically the oentre of European interest. There is indeed no historical parallel to her situation, and it is one which affords endless scope for those who take delight in the field of political speculation.

The visit of Victor Emmanuel to Vienna and Berlin has tended to increase the interest felt in the Italian situation. For some time various indications have been afforded of a most' cordial understanding between the two foremost foes of ultra montanism. A few months since the Prince and Princess of Piedmont were received with the most distinguished attention at Berlin, and the heirs of Germany and Italy met in the friendliest manner. At Sehwalbach the veteran Emperor lost no opportunity of showing his respeot for the Princess Marguerite, whilst the last arrival in the family of Prussia's Prinoe Imperial found a sponsor at the font in the person of an Italian prinoe. The seal Is now to be set upon all' these courtesies by the reoeption of Yiotor Emmanuel, who is, according to Thiers,.
