Immigration. .

The immigration of 1SCC was much TaTleTTrff ff tharof any previous year. and thabf 1867 promises, to be stil Ta?gervs--It la estimated that at least 300,000 European emigrants have found 'their ay to America during tHe past year, bringing with them, on aa average, $60 each, making the amount of. gold added to our nationa wealth, from thi3 source alone, about H,OOU,UOO.: 'l'his latter item, import ant in itself, is of but little conse quence as compared with the emi grants themselves. Their muscle and brain will ' add ; countless millions to theriches, of. the country. - Wherever they go. whether in city or country they will help in developing our inex haustible resources. This applies especially to the hardy pioneers who BtriKe out ior tnemseives upon our boundless prairies. - Gladstone was about 'right when he said that emigration to America was no longer phlebotomy, but hemorrhage. The mdre of that kind of blood-letting the Old World gets, the better it will be for the New. . , ,,. -.. Another Haunted House,. . ocarceiy nave tne nttie children, and the iollowers of Andrew Jackson Davis, ceased telling, their gigantic BioriesaDoui me nauntea nouser on-St. Charles Street, and the writmgs oi jents Decome dry upon th paper, than another startling incident occurs of like character in another part of the,, city. Another haunted house! Another spirit comes from the grave, bearing a fetter in its hand to the, wife of a welli known printer. There is a house situate on Hfehsbtreet; between Clark Avenue and XiUgema Street, formerly occu pied by a prominent Union officer. In this house the officer died. After -which a gentleman oi doubtful U nion Er6clivities occupied it as a residence, uring' hia short stay' he was frequently awakened from his dreams by various noises sometimes a rap on the front door, the back, door, on thl floor of the ceiling, and sometimes the raps;, were made on his bed. V All this. , he t stood patiently, and never once thought of the , officer who had departed this life in the very corner of room in which he lay nay, in the Yefy bed in which the Union officer expired, until he was awakened one night by a noise similar to that of an owl he jumped from his bed, struck a light, aroused his wife, and told her there Vas something in the house! On opening a door he either heard or imagined he heard " Secesh ! " " Secesh!", He shoved the door shut as quick as thought, and the fact flashed in his mind that the Union officer was after him. He told his wife he believedthe house was haunted and they would leave it, which they did as soon as they could procure another. He told his story to no one. TThe house was next occupied by a printer an editor of a " Democratic Conservative" paper fine picking for a ghost of a Union officer! This tenant was run out of the premises by a sword in the hands of the ghost, and was so much frightened that the hair oil his head is turning gray. He saw the ghost, spoke to him, and was told to cease publishing scandal on Union men. We hope it may have a good effect. He, too, has left the house. This; same ghost made its appearance in , a , neighbor's house,, opened . the door and walked up to the gentle man, "who was in the act of taking off hia boots, shook hands with him, and told him a letter from his (the ghost's) wife Jay on the sewing machine; the ghost walked over to where the letter was, picked It up and handed it to 141m saying, give mat , to. your mie, auu viiuisueu. t We ; would advise all skeptics to keep" an eve around, as this same ghost has been seen in various parts of the city. One evening last week, a lady friend of ours was at the Olympic theater, and who was well acquainted with this Union officer, saw him occupying a front seat at first sight it sent a shudder through her, audshe says she could scarcely believe her own eyes. She pointed him out - to her attendant, but he not knowing the officer in life, could not identify him in spirit. When she arrived at her residence, the same ghost walked out the door as she passed in, with his hat in his hand. This will be another fine chance for Jenks' "seance" circle there are no rats or horses in the vicinity. The house is now vacant, and a good time may be 'expected. St. Louis Democrat. .. . .- . ' Duties of Congress. It is the business of the court to interpret the law, and to apply it by decisions to cases that may come before the court.- But it is not the business of the court to make laws. It is not within its province to decide those political questions which the Constitution entrusts to the immediate representatives of the people in Congress. The admission of a State, the legality or loyalty of its government, the admission.of Senators and llepresentatives are matters of that nature. The Constitution ' empowers Congress to admit new States, to guarantee to each of the States a republican form of government, to Wake all Heedful rules tions'CfT qualifications of all persotitf claiming to be members of Congress in accordance with these constitutional provisions, the Supreme Court

aM regiiiatiOBS respecting the territoryelongjng'td ihUnjtd Statesman) to make hnnl leciHion fn.i

years ago decided, in the JJorr case, "that Congress alone had power to determine which was--the--established

government in a State, or whether it had a'repubhca'n form or government, and that the decision of Congress upon Hueb questions was binding upon all other branches of the government. In regard to the condition of the rebel and non:reconstructed States, therefore. Congress i alone has the power to decide, and neither the President nor the Supreme Court has the slightest shadowot right to dispute- or resist its decision. Mr; McCtlloch says frrTiIs report It is this necessity for paying balances in coin which regulates he trade 01 nations.. it is this great commercial and financial law which makes the nation that sella more than it buys the creditor nation, and the nation that buys more than, jt sells the, debtor nation, and recognizes no medium but coin in the payment of balances, that determines the question of the ability e ik. TT:t j . - . j ui me uuucu uuira tu resume ana maintain specie payments. If the balance is in our favor, or, if not in our favor, if the balance against us is so" small that it can be paid : without an exhausting drain upon our pre cious metals, specie payments can at once be resumed. Such, unfortunately, is not the fact.? Notwithstanding our heavy exports during the past year (that ot cotton havmsr been 650. 672,820 Dounds. or nearlv 1.600.000 bales; a quantity greater, than our en- , - v 1 7 tire crop ot the present year;, the United States are largely a debtor to Europe." S;iV' KufctfXO borrowtul and disgraceful truth. that of our foreien indebtedness. which"' the sheriff . Will teach with sharp conviction to thousands now flaunting and laughing on the thincrusted and short .hyed prosperity of credit and' inflation."

But here again they would do well to receive kindly the hints given them by Mr. Wade, and make. their terms with a power which does riot seek to do them the slightest wrong, whose only conditions are those which justice dictates, and which alone possesses the power to render them any real service. If they would but act upon the suggestions they may glean from the honest utterances of Mr. Wade they may yet turn to -excellent practical account the congressional excursion which has just passed through their section, Men who talk to the Southern people as did Mr. Wade are their best practical friends -a fact which they cannot fail sooner or later, to discover. .
