Immigration. The number of emigrants who have ar rived ar the port of New Yorlt from May 5, 1847, to Ta6uaryT,lS7Q, is bd less than 4,297,980; t Adding to the Capital; Value of 11,123 represented by,itery emigrant, $150 per head for the average value of personal property brought, as baa been shown, by each, we nod that immigration increased the national wealth, in the stated period, by more than five billions of -del lars, or more than twice al much as the present amount of the national - debt. Tbe total immigration into the United States being now at the rate of 300,000 souls per year, the country gains nearly four hundred millions of dollars annually, or more than one million per day. The following table will show the numbers and nationality of the immigrants that arrived at the port of New York from 1347 to 1870:

About five o'clock Monday Mrs. Urban, wife of Frederick Urban, of New Elizabeth, in this State, after placing a few shavings in tho stove attempted to pour coal oil on them. The can exploded and set Gre to her clothing, and also to the bouse. She ran into the yard, where she rolled and writhed until her clothing was entirely consumed. She lingered in the greatest agony until six o'clock next morning, when she died. Her body was literally burned into a crisp. II The Superintendent of the Census ia Francis a. Walker, late of the Bureau of Statistics and Assistaut Special Commissioner of Revenue. Twenty one thousand emigrants, mostly Irish, left Liverpool for America during the month of May. About nine tenths T?nt to New York. The Senate Finance Committee having already considered the questions involved. will probably report the Tax and TaritT j bill within a week. The entire work on the trestle work of White Water River at Richmond is completed, and trains commenced running over it on Monday, after testing its strength by placing five locomotives and a train of freight cars upon it atone time. I M It having been stated the number of employes in the Treasury Department had beeu iucreased, Secretary Boutwell has sent to Congress papers showing the number was decreased 314 since he came into otlice. , . . It is believed, if the bill to reduce internal taxes should become a law, tbe Commissioner of Internal Revenue will be enabled to reduce the force of local officers fully oue third. The idea of consolidating collection districts has already been suggested. It is reported that Commissioner Delano has decided that the New York Central Railroad must pay a special tax amounting to $2,500,000 on its new issue of Stock in lSG'J. It is said that Yanderbilt threatens to issue enough more new stock to make up the amount required for the tax. A cable dispatch from Rome, received in' New York, says that the Ecumenical Council of Thursday decided that the dogma of infallibility be proclaimed on the 29ih inst., in honor of the feast of St. Peter. Extensive preparations are being made to celebrate the occasion, and it is said that the display of pomp and pageantry will surpass any demonstration of the kind ever witnessed in Europe. In the First Indiana District, now represented by Mr. Niblack, the colored vote gives a reasonable hope of electing a Reput liean next fall. Col. C. M. Allen, of Vincennes, appears to be most prominently named for the place, though he will have formidable competitors In Robert T. Kerchevai, of Spencer county, and Capt. Levi Ferguson, of Pike. The Republican Convention meets at Princeton; Gibson county, on Thursday, the IGih inst.

Stephens' Estimate of Grant. In the second volume of his wotk on the rebellion, A. 11. Stephens, tha Vice President of the Southern Confederacy, gives the following as bis estimate of Gen.

Grant, as formed from personal observation: ' I was never so much disappointed in my life, in my previously formed opinions, of either tbe personal appearance or bearings of any one about whom I had read and heard bo much. Tbe disappointment, moreover, was in every respect favorable Had agreeable. ,1 was instantly struck with the great simplicity and perfect naturalness of his manners, and the entire absence of everything like affectation, show, or even the usual military air or mien of men in his position. He was plainly attired, sitting in a log cabin, busily writing on a small table, by a kero sene lamp. It was night when we arrived. There was nothing in his appearance or surroundings which indicated his official rank. There were neither guards nor aids about him. Upon Col. Babcock's rappiog at bis door, the response, "Come in," was given by himself, in a tone of voice and with a cadence which I can never forget. His conversation was easy and fluent, without the least effort or restraint. In this, nothing was so closely noticed by me as the point and terseness with which be expressed whatever he said. He did not seem either to court or avoid conversation; but whenever he did speak, what he eaid was directly to the point and covered the whole matter in a few words. I saw, before being with him long, that he was exceedingly quick in perception and di rect in purpose, with a vast deal more of brains than tongue, as ready as that w-s at his command. The following resolutions vere adopted by the Democratic Conven tion at Rushviile ou the 1st inst: Resolved, Tht the Femocracy of tbe 4th Cougrijnal District cordially approve aa end irse tha platform adopted by tbj 8th ot January Democratic fetate Crutveutioo, and that the ticket for State fUcers nominated by said Convention should receive our hearty support. Resolved, That we endorse the course nf Hon. John S. Re id iu prosecuting the eo.ntet for the seat in Congress, to which wc b?Ucvo he was fairly andlegally elected, and that he has our sympathies in his efforts in that behalf. Resolved, That the State of Indiana, aud tho Nation, owe a debt of lasting grat ituie talodiatiu'sdisUDguished Statesman, lion. T. A. Hendricks, for his invaluable services while honored with a seat in the United States Senate, and for his bold, manly and able defence of Democratic principles, and as one of the noble self sacrificing few who stood shoulder 'o shoulder with his time honored compeers during the attempted outrage upon the late retired l'residaut ef tbe Uuited States, thereby thwarting their base aud insidious designs of establishing a Kingly and a Monarchical Government. The New York Evening Post, discussing the means to restore the Republican party to power in New York, sajs: "The way for the Republican party to secure the State this fall, is to reject everywhere the trading and eorrupt politicians. It is by such a course, by thowiug that they are the party of honesty and of good government, that the Republicans can regain the Stato." That is the right kind of talk. The Democrats retain power by corruption, the Republicans can not hope to excel them in that; therefore policy as well as principle dictate honesty as the road to power. The daily World, of New York city, says: "It is expected that theOeneral Conference of the World's Evangelical Alliance, which is to be held in this city in September next, will assemble more men of distinction than have ever been called together on this continent." Some vagabond women are stealing the hair of the maiden living in the valley of Styria, Austria. They pretend to be making collections of hair for the coiffure of the Virgin in a certain cloister. Tbe por girls find out too late that their beautiful long tresses have been stolen from them. The city marshal of Paterson has been making an examination of the weights and measure used by the dealers of that city, and finds them nearly all wrong. The Guardian says: "Some storekeepers and green grocers had 'small measures' half an inch cut down. Suae had little attachments to their scales which made it necessary to only put on seven-eighths of a pound." Bishop Thompson says that there are now ,SG missionary societies and 40,000 missionaries in the field; tbe word of God is preached in 15,000 localities in the heathen world; $5,1)00,000 areunually col. lected to sustain them; 087,000 converts are enrolled in Africa, aud 713,000 in Asia. Whittcmore telegraphs he has been reelected to Congress by 8,000 majority. So much for virtue in South Carolina. On Friday, the general discussion of infallibility in the Ecumenical Council was closed at the demand of one hundred and fifty fathers. The Fundiug bill prepared by the Ways and Means Committee provides for tbe issue of one thousand million in 4 per cent., thirty years, gold bonds, exempt from all taxes except income. With the income tax at 3 per cent., with $2,000 exempt, the Revenue Bureau is of the opinion that not morethanSlO, 000,000 will be collected from this tax next year. The whole reduction in Schenck's bill is about forty millions, which is about the same as in Sherman's, though, by the mode of reduction, some Senators think we may reduce the internal taxes $55,000,000, besides some reduction in the tariff. They propose te reach their-end by abolishing the whole system of special or license taxes,

Sew Good Seed Corn. , I

.- From the fact that the crop of 18G9 was universally unsafe, tho majority of farmers have bought told corn to plant, paying often 52 to $3 a bushel for just such seed as might have been picked out of cribs in their own immediate neighborhood. It ought to be a lesson - to us in the future not to be without reliable seed. This may be obtained by going into the field in the fall, about the time the husks have become partially dry, and selecting and tying or braiding together the best ears. These should theu be hung up in souio airy situa tion under cover to cure. It is true the corn so obtained will cost you one dollar a bushel, but it will be worth the labor. The Indians are noted for having good seed corn, and they save it by burying it in the husk on some dry knoll. Tbis, probably, is the surest way that seed corn can possibly be saved. We noticed that notwithstanding tha unripe coudilion of tbe corn last fall, wherever it happened to be buried in the field, it germinated as usual this spring. This is one of the great les sons taught by nature, and it is well ,0 profit by it. The Bloomfield (Greeny county) Tribune has this cominjentary notice of the recent speec 0f Senator Pratt:. "We publish this week tbe able and argumentative speech of Seuator Pratt on the payment of war losses. Whatever may oe said in rgard to the expediency ot paying these lossess at this time, a careful reading of the speech will convince any one of the justice of the claims. There is about the same reason and logic in their payment as th?re is in tbe payment of the bounties to all who served in tbe late war. Both are just nnd ought to be paid." It is reported in Paris that Russia and Egypt have formed an alliance. The Viceroy of Egypt has been increasing his armament and ia evidently preparing for a struggle against Turkey. An amendment is pending in the Senate to the Indian appropriation bill, for a general council of the IuJians in Indian Territory, to be called by the Secretary of the Interior at tbe request of tho tribes, and not till after the session of Congress. end of the preseut The financial dissussiou is yet to take place in Congress on the new Funding Bill and new Currency Bill, which check operations in Wall street by the uncertainty about what wirl be done. The country needs reduction of' taxation, and this Congress seems disposed not to do. With less pressure from taxation, the trade of the country would bound upwards; while the rapid increase thereby of wealth would enable it to reduce the public debt by and by with more ease and trouble than now. Take o-ff the income tax especially. Private dispatches from Constantinople, received in New York City, say from eight to ten thousand Jews were massaere-d in RoumauLi. Other dispatches say the reports were greatly exaggerated, and do! over three hundred were killed. A dispatch from London says nothing has been heard there c-f the massacre. The Continental News Agency deny there has been any recent outrage on the Jaws. A dis datch received in London- says there was an ordinary election riot in Botuscbaly, a village in Moldavia. It is conceded by all that Judge Wilson is a gentleman. It is said, too, that Judge Reid is personalis a gentleman but be has declined. Tbe organ of the "bully democrats'' across the way says that Dvie wilt be nominated, and that they the "organ and Davie want to conduct tbe campaign on "honorable principles" "gentlemanly principles." Any person acquainted with all the premises readily appreciates this earnest desire to keep personal clvirac'era out of this Congressional race. Indeed, organ and Davio would like to keep the question i'f political integrity out of the canvasi. The organ compliments Judge Wilson in a recent issue. We would be glad to say as muc'.l, of D.ivie, but the fact3 do not warrant it. iL-re being no hope of success with the opposition, of course Davie is their man. lie possesses no quality of head or heart which wiu the affection of a political fiiend or the respect of a political foe. lie has been on every side of every question never entertained an honest conviction possesses to day tbe confidence of no party. "Brass" is his leading characteristic, and this alone could enable a man of bis notorious political dishonesty to ask the vote of any man now, white or black. Greenfield Commercial. There are numerous signs aud evidences of weakness in tbe old Democratic machine in Indiana. It has outlived its usefulness, and its most sagacious leaders are about abandoning the old hulk to its fate. A few of the young members of the party will doubtless cling to its memories, as that is all there is Iclt to cling to, hoping that lightning may possibly strike them; but the signs of dissolution are apparent. Mr. Tabott and Gen. Love, two of its heretofore most liberal supporters, are said to have refused to contribute longer to its support, and are going to Europe with their families to remain several years. The anti - Hendricks- Bright- Yoorhees wing having taken possession of the party machinery, they propose to permit them to run the machine with their own funds, aud to enjoy their mortification and defeat alone in October. Liberty Herald. The Hancock Democrat, Dave Gooding's hone organ, in speaking of the result for Congress in this District says: we would succeed we must close up our ranks, and increase our strength from the rinks of the enmy." An honest confession is good for the soul, and we have no doubt the Democrat on this point enjoys all that happy feeling that arises from a quiet conscience and a love of truth. If other papers would only make a similar confession it would be better for tbem,but they prefer to sin against light and knowledge, and le.j their flocks astray. Some ot tbe ucmocrals here thins

Campbell, of. Butler county, was the Permanent Chairman. Tbe ticket nominated is not of general interest. It is the "off year," and the candidates are but for the minor positions. The platform embraces the following points: The principles - of the Democracy are "time-honored." "(That phrase sounds familiar.) . . . . For the rights of the States as opposed to the Federal Government, which is one of limited and delegated powers. Reaffirms the principles ot the Declaration of Independence, ia so far as 'oey relate to white men. ' In favor of a revenue tariff tf0 low as to approximate, frea trade, w:liri ai the necessaries of life absolutely free. Denounces the, revenue system as inquistorial, daland3 jj9 readjustment, aud also the -0olition of the income tax. f enounces the profligacy, corruption, !nd necotisiu of the Administration, fin j the light nf Mr. Johnson's four years' rule. and tho nuiiber 1 members of the whisky ring who were in the Convention, this plank of tho platform is to be taken in a Pickwickian sense.) Favors the retention of the public lands for actual .settlers. Denounces the Fifteenth Amendment, and the bill for its enforcement as unconstitutional. Favors the taxation of United States bonds.. Thanks Senator Thurnian, and tbe Democratic members of the House. Invites electors of the State of O'aio to "vote for the ticket." This is the Ohio platform. There is nothing iu it to cause serious alarm to the Republican party. What there is that is Democratic is tho same old ' time-honored" kicking against the pricks, resolving that the deluge was unconstitutional, and therefore that Noah never built the ark. What there is in it wbivVv is of value, can only be reached through lhe Republican party. The party iu power is pledged to do all that is worth doing, a:;u voters will see Utile reason for leaving a party that can accomplish, lor one that can simply renv've on paper. While the Deuiocrais are perspiring so freely ia Con v.eutians. and preparing latwed "pia'orais," the Ifepablican party is-going ahead quietly, paying off the deb, collecting the revenues honestly, and passing bin's for reducing taxation. The Democrats ea-a have uo hope for the ues.t Congress,, or for any Congress withiu ten year to come, granting them all the success they theiMselvcs could pesribly claim. Why then should people throw away the chance cf securing the reform of every abns-a through a ptirty which has, and in the very nature of the cjse must retain for years, the power? When the common people lose their common sense, D-eiuojiatic Conventions will find a clear tiuld for their operations. Journal. A i'ic3 Arrange men?.

No use of debating the question nor tte itsues; they are already decided. the Becoud place, we imagine Judge Wilson thinks too much of himself and too much of his party to be caught in any such company, under any such circuiustonte; and if Dive utit bowl his wrath uitd ahuse, Rc iil! tea ;s clou rc want to hear it from him, uti.i-r lhe protective wing of Judge Wilson. Iu the third place, while tbe above arrangement would be a very nice one lor Gooding, as it would associate him for a time with one of the fiuc&si gentlemen iu the Slate, think of the position and association it would place that gentleman in; besides, we are inclined to think Judge Wilson would much rather pick his own pompany, than to have it forcod upon him. No, inured; f Gooding is too full of bitter iuvectitt to contain himself, we suppose he will haVS to let it out; but be had" better go it alone, I!C before such crowds as like to hear it. Tbe Republican party has virtue enough to correct :ts own mistakes; and if it bad not, it wou.J not take such advice as. be could give. Connersyille Times. . Another Week's Work. The- sessions of the General Assembly in the First church of Philadelphia, have continued to be exceedingly interesting and attractive all through the past week. A great concourse of spectators and listeners has kept the large house filled to the utmost capacity. The tone and temper of the discussions have beeu admirable all along. A large portion of the week was expended upon the report of the Re construction Committee, notwithstanding the limitation of all speeches thereon tu five minutes. . Tbis rule bears hardly upon prolix talkers, but it has secured condensation of thought, and given opportunity to a much larger number to take part in the debates. The house has clearly comprehended the work it had to do, and has done it with a firm step and a solid vote at every 6tage. The Synods -have been made over, the list of new Synods proposed having been all erected, with the single exception of that of Scranton, which was voted down. Some changes were also made in the boundaries, and it is believed that the great mass of the ministers and churches will be well pleased with the new- Sy nodical arrangements. Each new Synod is to define its own Presbyteries. N. Y. Observer, 2d. It is a little strange that the . Democrats should want to start a reform movement in Fayette county whe.rethe county expenses are only one-fifth as great as they are

in Franklin county. Reform is needed much worse down there, and Democrats can Reform much easier as they have it all their own way. Connersviile Times. The New Dodge. Several Chinese landed at San Francisco on Tuesday, and w'ere outrageously treated as they passed along the streets. This is California Democratic teaching, It is a cardinal point in the California Democratic creed that Chinaman has no rights that a white man if, bound to ' re. spect," as it has heretofoie been the. "infallible dogma" of OemocraU, everywhere, that tbe "negro h-i no rights that the white man was bound to respect." What will the."true blue; Democrat, believing in the democratic gospel of the past, holdto the universality of Democratic

truths, do with the following heresy, cowtainedin the platform adopted at Columbus ou Wednesday? "That tbe liberal principles embodied by Jefferson in tho Declaration of Independence, and sanctioned in the Constitution, which makes ours the land of liberty and the asylum of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles of the Democratic faith, and every attempt to abridge the pririlrgrs tJ becomiug ci'izen$ and the owners of soil among tes ought to be resisted ici'h the same spirit which swept the alien, aud the sedition laws from our statute books." What is to become of the Dred 3cott decision, so often affirmed and canonized in Democratic platforms? What shall be done with the brethren in California, if they Continue to persecute and deny -.that this is. "the asylum of every nation," and "attenit ta abridge the prrv'rrege of be--coming citizens?" Or is the- new plant, simply a. "glittering generality," "a lie oa tbe face-of it," in the language of a Djrii ooratic. ex-United States Senator froai Indiana? It looks plausible on the face , but there is an "artful dodger" in it when the Democrat comes to explain it from different standpoints. We will wait awhile for the different interpretations. They will come. Chronicle. General Schenck has a 6b ort tariff bill to move as a substitute for the one laid over on the motion of Mr. Daves.
