Our Foreign Population. In the introductory report on the ninth census Superintendent Walker devotes a chapter to the causes which during the last decade retarded the national increase. Among these he attaches much importance to the adoption of habits of life in the Eastern and Middle States and in Western cities which have a tendency to lessen the offspring from American parents. The demands of fashion, the increasing disposition of families to live in hotels and boarding-houses, and the almost nomadic habits of a large portion of our population, doubtless do impede marriages and diminish the birth-rate. But if the increase of native American population is likely in the future to conform more and more nearly to the rate of older countries, there are yet no signs of decrease in the accession to.our population from European countries. The :number of immigrants who arrived at Castle Garden last year was 292,933, and the number of arrivals since January indicate that the total for this year will hardly fall below the unusually large total for 1872. The attempts of the German Government to check emigration from that country have been in the main unavailing, while the exodus from England and Ireland, which no effort has been made to check, has of late been on the increase. The large area of unoccupied land inwthe West and Southwest which has already been opened up to the settler, and the area yet to be oponed by the construction of railroads, will continue for many years to present strong attractions to the landless and poverty-strick-en laborers of crowded Eunropean countries; and many who do not come in search of land Wwill continue to exchange the exactions and the unremunerative toil of the old countries for the freer life and more profitable employment of the new. The magnitude of European immigration to America has in the rpast been perhaps even greater than it is generally supposed to have been. The numerical increase in the population of the country from 1860 to 1870 was: a little more than 7,000,000, of which number about 2,000,000, or nearly a third of the total increase, was due to immigration. In 1870 the number of foreign-born residents in the United Stdtes was 5,567,229, while of natives born of foreign parents the number was 9,734,845, making in all 15, 302,074 foreign-born residents out of a total. pepulation of 388,558,371. In other words, nearly half the population of the country is composed of foreign-born residents and their descendants in the first generation. The enormous influence of this ‘continued accession of population and wealth—for almost; every immigrant brings with him a greater or less amount of accumulated capital —upon the industry and the development of the country is too patent to be readily overlooked. But the immigrant along with his money and.his muscle brings also the characteristics of the country from which he comes, and while he grudually loses many of these he also imparts many of them to the communities in which he settles.

The large infusion of foreign blood and foreign manners has doubtless done much to destroy our homogeneity as a people. But the assimulative power of American institutions, and above all the fact that the bulk of the immigration has been of the same stock or of a kindred stock to that of the original settlers, has made this tendency much less active than it would have been under other circumstances. Each generation, of course, fuses the various elements into closer union. And as the English language has been enriched more: largely than, any other by the adoption of foreign words and idioms, our- American ethnic and social characteristics must in the future present a greater richness and variety of coloring than those of any other nation of the world.—XN.

] - EP—— - S T The Crisis. ‘ ~ In spite of hopes and palliatives the financial crisis still continues. It was as fierce yesterday as ever; and we regret to say there is no sure indication to show when or where it will ently 4 : , Well, the truth is we have brought it; upon ourselves. We have spent too much borrowed money. We have built too many railroads on ecredit. We have lived too fast. We have made our houses palaces, and have bangqueted on the luxuries of the world. We have exhausted our capital in great enterprises, and in the expectation of future profit we have fixed the resources that should have been left movable for daily use, And along with all this, too many of the leaders and the people have become corrupt and dishonest. And now the settling d#% has come, and our trouble is extreme, . ' We must now all wish that we had been more upright and wiser. But while the crisis continues and does its work, let no one forget that the country is still rich and sound; and that after all our trials we are sure to come out right in the end.—St. Jo. Democrat.

THE . RETIREMENT of Mr. Boody from the Presidency of the Toledo, Wabash & Western Railroad, and the election of a Tracy Board of Directors, indicates a very probable change in the policy of that. Company. Hitherto the Wabash has been the largest feeder of the Lake Shore Railroad. The eléction of a majority of Directors who are also interested in thé Canada Souﬁhegn Railroad, suggests a transfer of the business via the Canadian line. By this route the distance between Toledo and Buffalo is considerably shortened and.easy gradients secured, the only drawback being the /delay and inconvenience of ferrying across Detroit River. . The carrying out of this programme might lift the Canads Southern out of its difficulties and enable it to make the connections with Chicago and Detroit at an early date. Meantime it will be interesting to note how ex-Secretary Cox succeeds in the new role of railroad President—Chicago Tribune. i et

ABOUT playing cards the Christian Union, Beecher's paper, has something to say worth repeating: “Cards are no more sinful in their nature than jackstraws. Under some circumstances we should reprobate card-playing as leading to waste of time, to' associa-) tion with bad men—and always when one plays for stakes. On the other hand, no one should ‘judge the conscience of those who gamble, who play at home, who have been brought up to regard the game as a lawful amusement, whose reason does not condemn it. Paul’s formula is eminently applicable here: “Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not, and let not him which eateth- not, judge him that eateth.” W i

NORTHERN INDIANA ITEMS. ELKHART COUNTY. o {(From the Goshen Democrat, Oct. 18t.} - —Mr. Hottinger sent five nice buglg'ie:;s to the Ligonier fair on Tuesday ast. | ~ —Mr. Norris Jarrett, a farmer near Warsaw, after completing his day’s labor, became a raving maniac. Domestic trouble and embarrassment is thought to be the gause. i i —We want a Ci@ Hall. We doubt whether there isa city in the United States without a City Hall—a room in which the City Council could hold their meetings and transact their business. : —John Long was broughtup befoire his Honor, Judge Osborn, on Monday, and sentenced to the penitentiary for five years. A few days previous he had made arrangements with other prisoners to break-jail, but was frustrated before the' work was completed. A hole partly dug through the outer wall by his confederates, and the bolt of his door partly sawed off, was as far as they got. His saw was taken from him, and he removed to another cell,—He starts to Michigan City probably to-day in .custody of the Sheriff.

KOSCIUSKO*COUNTY. s {From the Warsaw Indianian, Oct. 2d.] . —There is talk of organizing Granges of the Patrons of Husbandry at various points in this county. ‘ —A ‘man stopped his paper last week because he had to pay the postage on it, and subscribed - for one from Cincinnati, which will come-free, of course! | ’ —Hon. James 8. Frazer' arrived at home in this place, a day or two ago, seemingly in’ excellent health. The Commission of which he was a member adjourned last Tuesday, by statutory limit; hence, the Judge will ‘now remain at home in this city, for some time to come. We give him acordial welcome home. - v —lt is creditable to our town that we have too such reliable banking institutions as the First National and Lake City Bank. The recent panic—for it is nothing else than a scare—did not and will not affect them in the least, while their business went on just asif nothing unusual was happening in the money centers. We have noticed also, a disposition on the part of the business men of this place to assist one another, should an emergency arise, which is gratifying to behold, as well as right and proper in itself, and which has nio doubt had a good effect already. : :

! DEKALB COUNTY. [From the Waterloo Press, O¢t. 2d.] —No failures in ' Waterloo from the panic. - : —The general health is believed to be improving. Iz —Lockhart’s Land Roller carried away the first premium from the Illinois State Fair at Peoria. . —Prosecutor McConnell is busily engaged in visiting the legal voters of this Judicial Circuit. e —The Odd Fellows of Auburn will dedicate their new shall on the 15th day of next month. Distinguished members of the Order, from abroad, will be present and ‘deliver addresses on the occasion. Ample arrangement will be made for thé accommodation of all. : - —Circuit Court closed up suddenly the middle of last week, all the cases on the docket, which were in condition for trial, having been disposed of. We notice that nothing was done with the drunken rowdies, who outraged common decency here on the Fourth, which affords another evidence of the fact that the temperance committee is better calcunlated for prosecuting inoffensive boys, than it is for grappling with dangerous ruffians. .

LAGRANGE COUNTY. © [From the Standard, Oct. 2d.] - —C. R. Moon, of Wolcottville, has invented and patented a useful devise for connecting the neck-yoke with the pole of a carriage or wagon. —The County Commissioners in special session last week concluded to build an iron fence on two sides of the: Jail lots, and ordered an advertisement for bids for the job, which will be found in another column. —lsaac Vandevanter, of Marion, Grant county, and formerly aresident of this county, is the Republican eanditate for Circuit Judge, for the Judicial Circuit composed of the counties of Huntington, Grant and Blackford. —A train of seven wagons, loaded with Railroad construction implements, passed through town last week, going west. The “boss” said they had been at work on the Canada Southern Railroad, but had been discharged, and were now on their way to Peoria, Illinois, where they had offer of work. —With the exception of a portion of Greenfield and Lima township we believe the |people of this ecounty were never in more favorable circumstances for buying and selling or better preparid to lay by something for the conveniences and luxuries of life. The monetary disturbance may thwart some projects and delay the realization. of some hopes, but they will hardly be many. It seems certain there will be a good demand for all the products of the county in a short time and at improved prices. —The colored man in jail -has become somewhat. communicative of late, and has, of his.own accord, told the Sheriff something of his story. He acknowledges to have served 14 years in the Penitenitary, two years in this State and 12 years in Michigan. He further stated that he left some clothing on the 4th of July at a brick house north of Middlebury, but the name of the place he did not know, To test this story, the Sheriff sent on, thus confirming part at least, of his disclosures as to himself.. He stoutly protests, though, that he is inndcent of the erime he stands charged with. —A man, apparently about forty five or fifty .years of age, brought a small girl, in her seveéntéenth yeéar, from Michigan to Lima last week to marry her. Findigg no Justice theré, and a Jugtice he &ought: only could do the deed, he hired a buggy and drove to Ontario, found a Justice, but found also that the Justicé could not marry him without a License. He drove to Lagrange and. went to the Clerk’s office for a License, but there met with disappointment. The Clerk refusing him a license, because the girl was not a resident of the county.

DRIFT OF PUBLIC OPINION. : -tCALI;')OIBNIA 'POLITICS still excite popular attention. The issue in the recent contest was not between Republicans and Democrats, but in reality between the people and the Central Pacific Railroad in that State. This company seeks to control the legislative affairs of that commonwealth, using both democratic and republiean politicians to do their work. The baleful influence which it exerts by reason of its political power and the enormous franchises granted to it by the Government are not exaggerated in the following extract from Senator Casserly’s letter: “In respect to freights, a policy of extortions nearly as gross is maintained. Whatis worse is the system of diseriminations—unJust and oppressive to the last degree —by which, at this or that place, goods are/made cheap or dear, business is given or taken away, a town is built up or pulled down, men are made rich or ruined—at the mere will and pleasure of the Company, generally for the personal profit of its managers.”

ALMOST UNANIMOUS ' is the condemnation by the press of Grant’s recent appointment of a Governor for the Distriet of Columbia.— The Evansville Journal, a very loyal republican organ, speaks of it in these words: Alex. R. Shepherd, under whose administration the Board of Public Works at Washington, D. C,, made a mountain out of the people’s millions, last year, has been appointed Governor of the District by President Grant. If this gentleman is half as successful in 6 wasting the people’s money in his. new position as he was in the old, we.will not only havea bankrupt Territorial Government, but a seriously crippled General Government as indorser. ; ‘ THE CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA has been fairly opened by both parties. Concerning the conservative prospects, the Richmond Dispatch has this to say:. “The general field is as bright as we could hope it should be. Everybody is confident, but we are glad to see all active. Wefeel that confidence in this campaign is based upon resolution. Expectation would be sadly sustained without the general rendezvous of all conservatives at the poles. All, howerer, know this, and should act accordingly.

; The Mississippi Democracy. - - As has already been stated in these columns, Ben Butler’s son-in-law, Gen. and U. S. Senator Ames, succeeded in obtaining the republican nomination for Governor of Mississippi. Though not a bona fide citizen of that commonwealth, he had but little difficulty in manipulating with the aid of Grant’s i)gtronage, the predominating element —the negroes—so as to give him absolute control of the party machinery. Ex-Gov. Alcorn (now aU. S. Senator and a native of Mississippi) is known tobe very hostile to Ames’ pretensions, and as being exceedingly anxious to defeat his aspirations. He has accordingly announced himself as an independent candidate for Governor, with a promise to make it “red hot” for Ames. To carry out this programme, Alcorn is necessarily dependent on the Democracy for assistance which, we are pleased to state, heis certain to receive.

The Democratic Conservative State Convention assembled at Meridian on the 17th ult,, and, as the telegraph informs us,adjourned sine die at 7 o’clock, after a stormy session. The question dividing the party was to the expediency of making any nomination of a State ticket. The Bourbon Democracy favored a straight nomination, but moderate men opposed it because they think the contest hopeless with a black majority of 15,000 to 20,000 against them. . A brief resolution was passed by two to one declaring that it was not expedient to make a nomination. This leaves the contest between Senator Ames, Republican nominee for Governor, and Senator Alcorn, who bitterly denounces Ames and his gang of thieves. ' The result of the convention’s action was in accordance with Alcorn’s wishes. He has called a mass convention to meet in Jackson at the State Capitol to make up a ticket. It is believed that the Republican organization, as controlled by Ames and the carpet-baggers, will be broken up and that Alcorn will sweep the State. So mote it be. {

Results of a Good Deed. In March last a female, who had apparently seen better days, was arrested in a disorderly saloon in this city, where she had been employed to play the piano. Justice Lambert, believing that poverty alone had driven her to the life she wasleading, questioned her closely as to her antecedents, and finally drew from her the acknowledgement that she was the daughter of Colonel John Hutchinson Garner, a'wealthy gentleman of Garnerville, near Belfast, Ireland, and that she had married the cashier of a Belfast bank, accompanied hinr to this country, where he abandoned her and her three children, and she has since been earning a precarious subsistence by piano playing in low saloons. Justice Lambert took her to his own home, wrote to her friends in Europe and Canada, and subsequently, at the request of Dr. John Hutchinson Garner, of Luckdow, Canada, who is her brother, sent her to him. On Baturday, this last named gentleman, who, it is said, will be elected a member of the Canadian Parliament during the present fall, came to Newark to return his thanks in person to Justice Lambert for his kindness in rescuing his sister from her degrading position. He had brought her with him' to New York, he said, to place her on board a steamer which sails for Europe to-day, and henceforth at the bidding of their father, she would; be an inmate of the family mansion at Garmerville.. Dr. Garner said 'she might have sailed from Montreal, but he was anxious to see and personally thank Justice Lambert for his good deed and therefore decided to come with l;:ﬁ to New York.— There is sufficielit 'ground work in ‘this romantic incident for a 4 novel of ‘the most sensational character.—Newark Advertiser. : Reideroe s
