During the month of May 117,482 immigrants ar-
rived in this country.
Now that the world sees what the Republicans
say of each other, it is better prepared to believe
what the Democrats have been saying about them.
The latest semi-authoritative gossip is that
Catherine Chase Sprague has cut the hero of
Canonchet, and betaken herself to the work upon
her father's life.
Horatio Seymour says: 4€ More men have been
ruined by trying to be like General Jackson than
from all other causes combined." Horatio is right.
A great many people mistake stubbornness for
flrnmess or moral courage.
Calculations have been made to show that the
new comet is 20.000,000 miles long and 5,000,000 miles
wide. The superstitious are now fearing that it
will unite with the sun and that the combined heat
of the two will destroy the world.
The color-line is still distinct in the public schools
of some of the Northern States. The Allegheny
school authorities are puzzling their craniums for
a device to keep the colored children away from
the white children's jubilee in the parks.
The Stewart remains are again attracting atten-
tion, the New York Star having announced that it
will begin the publication of leaves from a detec-
tive's diary, containing notes of confessions by
those who were connected with the body-steal.
Chilly weather has cut down the profits of hotels
at Montana summer resorts, but the ocean travel is
unabated. There is an immense tide of travel to
the Old World, and short trips, doing some one
small fraction of Europe thoroughly and enjoying
it, are the idea.
Postmaster-General James meekly remarks:
" The guilty ones will be punished and the innocent
ones will be vindicated." That's right; but why
not proceed with the processes of separating the
sinners from the saints? Action! action! is what
the country want ;.
The gamblers of Madrid have adopted the bomb
system of the Nihilists to deter prosecution. One
of their explosives, placed to blow up a law officer,
fearfully mangled three children. The gamblers
in Texas generally win all the court money, and
allow the officials the pleasure of blowing them-
selves up.
The Fort Worth Advance says 1000 immigrants
are coming into Texas daily. It also says there is
a population of 12,COO inhabitants within ten mile3
square at E! Paso, in Northwest Texas, not exceed-
ing 1C0 of whom are English-speaking people. The
Advance calls loudly for more inethodism and
more workers in the vineyard.
Hon. Henry Stanseery, Attorney-General in
the cabinet of Andrew Johnson, died Sunday
morning last in New Y'ork city, at the age of
seventy-eight years. For many years he was the
leader of the Cincinnati bar, where his merao; y
will long be revered. Of late he has been in very
delicate health, and had retired almost wholly
from public life.
The Memphis Appeal says that Tennessee takes
the cake. That woman in Jackson county, who
brought seven blue-eyed girl babies into the world
inside of twelve hours, has immortalized herself,
made the State famous and bankrupted her hus-
band. Prompt action on the part of the Governor
is imperative, but whether he should hang the
father or present him a medal is an open question.
"Malignant scribblers" and "court vermin"
are a brace of the euphonious epithets now hurled
at the Star-Route prosecutors by Brady's subsidized
newspapers. It was thought the war on reconstruc-
tion and carpet-baggers had exhausted the vocabu-
lary of descriptive epithets an4 billingsgate, but
the Republican press has opened new sources and
is coining an abundance of rare literature in that
line.
It is stated tiiat the Pennsylvania Railway Com-
pany contemplate the laying of four tracks along
its New York division, between Philadelphia and
Jersey City. Two tracks were considered as im-
portant evidence of the growth of the country, but
when population and commerce require four
tracks, the mind is bewilderetj in contemplating
what we are, and conjecturing as to what we are go.
ing to be is completely baffled.
The Eastern people want a cheaper rate of post-
age, because there are so many of them, and they
write so many letters. The Western people are
afraid to trj' it, because they are so few and far
between, and a reduction might result in a discon-
tinuance of non-paying routes. Thus it is. All men
are selfish, and all legislation is gauged by local or
personal interests. No man, nowadays, thinks of
doing anything for the good of the whole country.
The New York Tribune says Mr. Bradley is a
person whom some of his former business associ-
ates would not b^'eve under oath, and who has
been virtually impeached by evidence proving that
he foretold the scandal at Albany before the al-
leged bribery was attempted. That may be all
true enough, but where did he get the Si:000 from?
No one is going to be made believe that a liar, he
being also a Yankee, is going to risk the loss of
£2000 on a foolish venture like that.
It is stated that Mr. Conkling now acknowledges
tlfat in the American Republic things have so far
changed that corporations aot as if thej* were the
absolute masters and the people the mere subjects.
He is convinced that these monopolies now control
enougli of the State legislatures to be all but
supreme, and believes that they need only control
of the national law-making body to have the des-
tiny of the country completely in their hands.
This is. perhaps, another inkling of the new party
incubation and it* probable leadership.
The contingei-t fund irregularities of the Treasu-
ry have extended to North Carolina. The United
States Marshal was asked to approve a bill of $3000
for some shelving and pigeon-hole cases, which a
local mechanic offered to do for $C00. At the same
place a person arrived from Washington with a
contract from the Government, issued at the Treas-
ury, to fresco a ceiling for $15,000. The Marshal
refused to let hiindo the work, for the reason that
it wasn't worth more than §150. That Marshal will
do.
Alarming accounts of great damage to the crops
are coming in from all portions of Texas. The
continued drouth and hot weather have seriously
injured the grain crops, and apprehensions are
felt that the cotton crop will also be cut short. The
planters have been complaining for some weeks,
but now the merchants and travelers are beginning
to express decided fears of a poor harvest. There
has been no rain of consequence, except in a few
circumscribed localities, in over six weeks, and the
outlook is anything but promising.
You may as well go stand upon the beach
A^d bid the main flood bate his usual height;
You may as well u.>e question with the wolf
Why he hath made the ewe bleat for the lamb;
You may as weil forbid the mountain pines
To wag their high tops and to make no noise
When they are fretted with the gusts of heaven;
You may as well do anything most hard
As seek to shut off the importunities
Of an enterprising office-seeker.
[National Republican.
And why not, pray? Hasn't it been demonstrated
a thousand times, proved ten thousand times in in-
vestigations into the rogueries of office; and ad-
mitted in myriads of ways, that the Republican
party is " here for the offices?" Twenty-five per
cent., according to Secretaries Blaine and Windom,
is a low estimate of the number of applicants, and
if Mr. Garfield can't afford a kind smile and a
warm grasp to one and a quarter railUfta "i Ohio
men, he might as well die out of it and give the
genial Arthur a chance.
A syndicate of i*ich Bostoniaiis own the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, and it is said
they have organized, at Tucson, under the Jaws of
Arizof^, the New Mexico and Arizona Railway
Company, which is to run from Denver to Tucson
—a distance of 368 miles—with a capital stock* of
$30,000,000. This is an important enterprise, and
will, no doubt, be carried out. The line indicated
traverses a country of fabulous wealth in oMneral
deposits and agricultural resources, and will open
millions of acres to immigrants from all parts of
the world.
T
OVEK THE STATE.
Transmitted by wire bt spbcial correspondests.
The interview had with ex-Governor Hubbard by
the Austin correspondent of The News shows that
the Texas and St. Louis Railroad Is in a highly pro-
gressive condition. This narrow-gauge enterprise
is being rapidly constructed, and will soon belt the
State, with an outlet to the East via Cairo. Gov-
ernor Hubbard intimaf|s that this line will consti-
tute a part of the Palmer-Sullivan saystem, and
that Galveston must eventually become a terminal
point or Gulf outlet for the narrow-gauge roads.
The News very much hopes that Governor Hub-
bard may not be oversanguine in this latter con-
jecture.
The city of Waco, through the advertising
columns of The Nrws, is officially announced this
morning as a candidate for the location o£ the
University of Texas. A committee of citizens have
prepared a circular which sets forth six specific
arguments why the university should be located at
Waco. These arguments embrace the points of
advantageousness with regard to geographical
position, centrality of State population,
railroad facilities, excellence of alti-
tude, temperature and humidity as the basis
of a high health rate, cheapness of the con-
ditions of living, a moral and intellectual society,
exemptiort from the confusion of a commercial
metropolis, and freedom from the distracting,
corrupting and feverish excitements of a political
center, with its temptations and allurements for
the youth of the land. The positions are well and
forcibly taken and supported by reasonable con-
siderations. Waco is now fairly and intelligently
in the field, and its citizens are determined to ex-
haust all legitimate means in placing its claims

15, were examined at Fayetteville yesterday and
released. While the evidence was strong against
thern, they succeeded in proving an alibi. The ex-

popular belief is that the men belong to the mount-
ain banditti, and were concerned not only in this
robbery, but in others which hare occurred in the
lonely mountain passes of Northwestern Arkansas
during the past year. The accused passed under
tli"' names of Phiiiip C'arnnga-i and W. II Bur. on.

Hubbard assures The News correspondent that
the money necessary for the enterprise is ready
and that this extension will be rapidly built. He
aleo states that the refusal of the Iron Mountain
road to prorate with the Texas and St. Louis
necessitates the rapid extension of their , line to
Cairo from Texas, to connect with St. Louis and
t^ie narrow-gauge system, but intimates the
l*cn Mountain may be compelled to answer
in court for the refusal to prorate, and be made to
do so ander the general principle governing roads,
thM they are common-carriers and public high-
ways, and may by the courts be governed in their
rates and prohibited from such unjust discrimina-
t ons. The road to Cairo will nevertheless be
built more rapidly than any road has yet been
built in this country. He says there is a notion
that in the suit between his company and the
Missouri-Pacific at Dallas, about the right of way
at Waco, the Texas and St. Louis was beaten.
His road at first observed the general
comity about crossing each other, and proceeded
to cross the Missouri-Pacific without proceeding
under the State law to condemn the riglit of way,
and the injunction suit was brought. They asked
an injunction against State courts granting the
right of way, but the judgment of the court was
that the St. Louis road could go on and obtain right
of way under the State courts. When proceedings
in the Stats courts were begun the Missouri-
Pacific approached Colonel Paramore and him-
self and proposed to stop their suit
wfcjc.il they did, and dismissed tlie case. The ex-
Go.ernorsaid that the Texas and St. Louis is a
parr of the Palmer-Sulivan system of narrow gauge
roads, and can not be hindered in its completion.
Among other things he felt sure of, it was that this
system would have a principal terminus at Ga'ves
tqj~-flnd was as sure to go then

Temple Junction, June 29.—Fully 3000 people at-
tended the sale of lots here to-day. Extensive prepa-
rations had been made by the managers of the sale
to supply every body with all they could eat and
drink, and a hearty appreciation was manifested
by a hungry and thirsty crowd of men who
took positions in the front ranks and held
them during the entire day at the comfortable
expense of an immense crowd more modest.
Thousands had been prepared for everybody, but
as it was entirely free, the hungry men from Lead-
ville had the advantage, and used it. One hundred
and fifty-seven business lots and twenty-eight resi-
dence Jots were sold at an average of $160, aggre-
gating about $28,000. The first lot was sold to J.
H. Butcher, of Galveston, for $620. B. M. Temple,
for whom the town is named, bought the second
for $375. This is destined to be a good town, hav-
ing every facility to make it such. Grading on the
Missouri Pacific is completed to the jnnclion. Not
withstanding the great crowd, the hot day and a
half-dozen fist fights, everybody left well
pleased, and the Santa Fe has fur-

The -Albany Faree.
Albany, June '^9.—The vote to fill the sliort-term
vacancy was as follows: Potter, 58: Conkling. 32;
Wheeler, 4; Cornell, 3; Lapliam, 18; Folgor, 1;
Hoskins, I; Rogers, 1; Crowley. 1. No choice.
When the name of Senator Foster was called he
said that, as . his vote here had been
called into question in the Senate by
the senator from the Twenty-fifth District, he
deemed it proper to make an explanation of his
voting. He had been actuated by but one con-
sideration and that was to elect two senators in
place of the two senators who had resigned. So far
as he could learn the views of his constituency, he
believed that they did not desire the return of the
two resigning senators. With that view he had
first voted for tlie candidates known as half
breeds, and subsequently l'or a half breed and a
stalwart, and then for two stalwarts. This week
lie had determined to vote for two Senators, and
if no fleet inn was secured he would then vote for
an adjournment. He tlieti explained his vote for
Lieutenant-Governor Hawkins, whose course in pub-
lic life he eulogized, and concluded by voting for
Ha-skins. Mr. .McCarthy, when his name was called,
said he had simply attended to the gentleman vot-
ting for Lieutenant-Governor ITaskins, when It was
known that ho was paired with Senator Astor, al-
though the Senator (Foster) liad said that he was
not paired on Lieutenant-Governor Haskins. The
rote to fill the long term vacancy was as follows:
Dt pew 50, Kernan 50, Piatt 28, Cornell 9, Wheeler 1,
Crowley 7, Tremaine 1, Lapham 1. Nochoice. Mr.
Sharpe offered a resolution that when voting hereaf-
ter, on asking to be excused, members of the Senate
have unlimited time for explanation and members
of the House be limited to two minutes each. He
asked that the resolution lie on the table till to mor-
row, which was agreed to. Mr, Sharp tiien moved
an adjournment. Carried, ayes 81, noes 60
A Compromise Conference.
A jturr, June 29.—The Stalwarts and Half-Breeds
had a lengthy conference vet-terday afternoon, but
reach«l no cortclusion. It is said the friends of
Conkling sent a proposition to the Half-Breeds that
tBe Stalwarts would accept Depew for the long
tTm if the Half-Breeds would accept Conkling for
Ibe short term, but the Half-Breeds would not lis-
ten to such an arrangement, and that Senators
Robertson and Wooden were especially opposed to
No Way Out.
The Administration supporters are still firm in
rejecting the proposition of the Stalwarts to elect
Conkling and Depew for the short and long terms
respectively. They say they would prefer to ac-
cept Piatt at the same time. They see no way out
of the deadlock, owing to the firmness of Conkling's
supporters, who evincee no disposition to give him
up.
Legislative Ball and Bat.
Albany, June .29.—The legislative base bail match
played this afternoon at Riverside Park, between

The weather was fine and the game lasted three
hours. Seven innings were played, at the end of
which the score stood 53 to 24 in favor of Demo-
crats. The game was highly amusing, its main
feature being the very bad playing on both sides.
In the fifth inning Assemblyman Browne was
slightly overcome by the heat, and Assemblyman
Miles took his place. The umpire was Deputy
Attorney-General Everett. Referees. Democratic
Senator Fowler and Stalwart Congressman Crow-
ley.

futed some of the accusations against him. Upon

President of the Council retired from the bench,
stating that Midhat Pasha had accused him of per
sonal enmity.

prisoners who had confessed. These demands bem
refused. Midhat Pasha declined to proceed with hi

strong to measure herself against Germany, seeks
in every way a pretext for picking a quarrel with
Italy. The Liberta advises patience and foresight,
and says it must be for Italy to choose the occasion
of going to war with Franoe and not to leave the lat-
ter to force on the war when she finds it most con
ver.ient.

contest of the Sporting Life differs from most of
the receit accounts of the prospects of the
Americans in the regatta. He says altl.ough the
Thames Club crew have the best station and are
favorites in the betting, I should not be surprised
to see the Americans win outright. Although their
style is not voted good, they are very 1 think

enormous. Already boats, barges and launch-
houses are moored along the back shore for fully a
mile.

>e rowed wi:hout cockswain.
The winners of 'lie visitors' cup wili be invited to
enter the race. This conclusively shows thai the
English universities do liotagr.e w ith the verdict
of the stewards of :he regatta. The Cornell crew
did not go out on the riv.r in their four-oaied boat
to-day, but Lewis and Iiecd took to the sculling
boat.
The correspondent adds: I hear on good author-
ity that the Hertford crew will save themselves for
the race with the Cornell crew 011 Saturday, and by
the absence of the Cornell four from their boat to-
day, I am inclined to think that unless the station
of "Cornell is favored by the wind, the Americans
will-not start in the race for the Stewards' Cup.

Miss Gordon Gumming, in her book "Afc
Home in Fiji," says that in every village
there is invariably one largo house called tho
bure. where all the young men sleep. It would
lie contrary to all notions o£ propriety thatr
they should occupy the same house as the
women, even their nearest relations. In fact,
brotheis and sisters, or brothers-in-law anct
sisters-iu law. and various other near kins-
folk, are forbidden even to speak to one an-,
other or to eat from the same dish. For a man.
to eat food left by a woman would be highly"!
infra dig.; and to unroll a mat belonging to 3
woman, or to lie down upon it, would be the,
height of impropriety. The laws of affinity in^
regard to marriages are very curious. First
cousins who are children of brother and sister*
may intermarry, but the children of two men. •
who are full brothers may on no account do sop
indeed, many hardly speak to one another. No-
word exists to express uncle."
