' -The great decrease in immigration since
.the commencement of the European war ls
>strikingly illustrated in the fact that, so far in
August, only -1728 Germans and 59 French
have arrived ot the port of New York.? As re- J
gards the German emigration, the disastrous
effect of the war, lt ls stated, ls already felt In
the Weat.
-The subscriptions in New York city to aid
fthe soldiers of the French army and to relic-?

$11,075, o? which $10,000 are through the
treasurer of the national committee, to bc
handed over Immediately to the Sisters of |
Charity, ' to alleviate the sufferings of the
wounded. '
~~* ' -An enterprise which was looked forward
to with, much Interest-the annual Interna?
tional exhibition of 1871 at London-will
almost-inevitably be abandoned. Neither
France nor Prussia can spare time for anything
but the great struggle in which they are en?
gaged; nor is any other power likely; in view
of po&slble contingencies, to devote, much at- j
.' . tent lon to an international exhibition.
-Fifty German sailors, employed upon thc
Bremen Une of : steamers, sailed from New
Yo rk upon on Inman steamer oh Saturday for
tie scene or the European war. They ore en?
listed by the North ' German Consul, who bas
provided transportation for them. Hundreds j
crothers are said to have offered their servl
ces, bat because none of them were Germans
the consol decided not to accept the offers.
-Murat Halstead writes, that this is the way
lt ls about the war : "Both nations waited war
long ago.. It ia necessary to know which ls
the pre-eminent military power.- The military
.systems of France and Prussia are to be tested |
.in the combat It ls a duel of giants, and the
talk of the personal responsibility or Napoleon
pr of Bismarck ls all twaddle. Then it is not
particularly the courage or quality or the blood
Of the two peoples that ar? to be determined.
All the world knows that bravo men grow on
both -sidos of the Rhine, os they grew in
Greece, not only within but without the walls
of the Eur otas. The main thing to bo tested
ls the merit of the respective military systems
of the contending nations."
-The printers' strike In Son Francisco ended
in a disastrous defeat of the strikers.. The Ty?
pographical. Union there has adopted sixty
cents per 1000 ema, tho rate prevailing before
the strike, for composition on work in day?
time, and sixty-five cents for composition on
morning papers, it also so amended the rules
-as to permit members of the union to work in
offices where non-members are employed.
The result ls more emphatic, because the prin?
ters combination was so formidable as to com?
pel immediate surrender on the part of every
aewspaper In the State, with tho exception of |
the Bulletin and Daily Call. The proprietors
of. these, journals promptly denounced the
strike, as uncalled for, unjust and ruinous,
and gave notice that they would fight the
movement to the bitter.end, and that no strik?
ers should return to their places on any terms.
-France takes financial hard times by thc
forelock. She has made the bills of the Bank
of France a legal tender. This measure need
pot necessarily be followed, if the war be not
greatly prolopged, by any depreciation in the
currency; although its remoter effects on the
finance and commerce ol the world may well
engage the serious attention of the publicists
everywhere. That Prussia will be obliged to
follow the example of France is quite certain.
Her financial resources are by no means equtd
to those ol France, and the expenses of her
government are necessarily enormous. It is
noteworthy that the Prussian war loan of 120,
000,000 thalers, which has been now some ten
days before the public, has not yet been taken
up. The adoption ora legal-tender paper cur?
rency puts Franco by the side of Austria, Italy,
Russia and Greece. Holland. Belgium, Switz?
erland, Sweden, Spain and Portugal aro still
without the blessing.
-On Friday last there were nearly 8000 fac?
tory operatives uon the street" at Fall Fiver,
Massachusetts. This is the result of a strike
among the cotton hands. The City of Fall
River ls noted the country over for its im?
mense production of cotton goods-almost
wholly print cloths-no less than twenty mills
running over half a million of spindles, and
12,000 looms being occupied with this manu?
facture, producing upwards of 100,000.000
yards per annum, and giving employment to
probably 10,000 operatives in the various de
I partments. The strikers resist a reduction of
from Ti to 10 per cent, on the wages ot the
spinners and weavers. The mill-owners ex?
press themselves perfectly satisfied with the
condition of affairs. They declare that at this
season they only care to run for the sake of
keeping the machinery in trim, and that their
mills were not paying them at the old wages;
therefore, until the demand for goods springs
up, they are willing to remain idle. The mill
owners say they will not yield. The spinners
say that, under the old scale of pay, a man
could not earn over $10 50 a week; some could
make $12, aud others only $9-the fair aver?
age being about $10 50.
Tbc Letter of Judge Orr upon thc Polit?
ical Situation.
A certain indulgence is properly due to
the man who, in better days, has done the
State some service. The past has a claim
upon the present, and that claim has always
found, in this State, a frank and generous
recognition. Upon this ground, if upon no
other, we should have been induced to allow
the political letter of Judge Orr-printed in
another column-to appear without com?
ment, had he confined himself to an explana?
tion of the solid reasons which induced him
to take, just at this moment, the political
leap which for more than two years had
been in preparation. IL was expected of
Judge Orr to declare his adhesion to Scott
and Ransier, and now that there is no doubt
of his position, his closest friends are re?
lieved from some embarrassment. There is
no disappointment or mortification about it;
but when Judge Orr, in defending himself,
attacks the Union Reform party, and invites
the people to walk "very quietly and very
"conscientiously" into the ranks where Scott
is captain and Whittemoreis second in com?
mand, this paper is forced to maintain its
own position, and to uphold tho cause of
decency, honesty and truth.
It is not denied that Judge Orr has an un?
doubted right to concoct a political address
upon any and every convenient occasion.
While the newspapers continue to print, and
the people continue to read, a political pro?
phet may well continue to write. And yet,
we are tempted to ask, what reason has
Judge Orr for supposing, as he evidently
does, that his counsel is either desired or
valued by the people whom he betraj'3?
In November, 1866, Governor Orr bitterly
denounced the Fourteenth Constitutional
amendment, urging the General Assembly
to preserve their own self-respeot, and the
respect of their posterity, "by refusing to be
"the mean instruments of their own shame."
Pour or five months later he swallowed the
whole amendment, General Sickles included,
at one gulp; but, at the same time, exhorted
the people to have nothing to do with the
South Carolina Republican party then pro?
posed to be formed, ls the earlier repudia?
tion of the Fourteenth amendment, orit3
later deglutition, Judge Orr's claim upon the
good opinions of the State ? In April, 1867,
Judge Orr, at the anniversary meeting of
the Charleston Board of Trade, declared
that Congress "made a mistake when they
"extended the suffrage to the colored man,"
and said that "if you open tbe door for all
"to vote, you give an opportunity for bad
"men to use their influence. " Now, he pro?
claims his'Support of Scott and Ransier.
Upon "which of . the two utterances cloe3
Judge Orr rest his claim to popular favor ?
Seeking already for the suffrages of the
freedmen, Judge Orr, upon a memorable oc?
casion, delivered an intemperate address be?
fore the Reconstruction Convention, which
address, if forgiven, is not forgotten. Surely
this cannot be the reason why Judge Orr
cracks the whip over the backs of men, the
latehetof who3e shoes he is unworthy to
loose !
The people of the State have been chari?
table in the extreme. They did not blame
Air. Orr when he accepted office as judge
under the Scott administration. It was
thought that he might, on the bench, promote
security and discourage lawlessness. And
no ono doubts that Judge Orr has been a
hardworking and zealous judge. But he
and Scott became fast friends. The satel?
lites, of the Ring boasted that they had
caught the biggist fi3h in the political pool,
and that the new judge would talk out in
due time. It was soon admitted that Judge
Orr was the tool, or the accomplice, of the
Ring in more than one railroad transaction
of no doubtful propriety. The peoplo began
to whisper that it was still true that men
had their price. And in the case before us
the terms of the bargain are well known.
Judge Orr gives to Scott and Ransier his
public 3upport; and Scott and Ransior, if
elected, will support Judge Orr for election
to the Senate of the United States.
There is nothing, we maintain, in the late
political career ot Judge Orr, nor in his
personal conduct, that should entitled hi3
opinious to weigh in the scale for one mo?
ment against those of Carpenter, Butler,
Kershaw, and their supporters. The whole
sad story is told in these few words: A
man who has ruined himself, in both public
reputation and private esteem, uow exerts
his whole power to compass the ruin of his
people._
Sober Views o? tbe War.
We publish to-day the fir3t of a series of
careful articles on the Franco-Prussian war,
from The Saturday Review. These articles
will be continued from week to week, and,
as reproduced in TUE NEWS, will supple?
ment, in a very welcome and necessary man?
ner, the disjointed accouuts brought us by
the cable, which, while often contradictory
and in a measure unintelligible, are always
incomplete and unsatisfactory.
9Ir. Stephens on the War.
THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES-ITS CAUSES,
CHARACTER, CONDUCT AND RESULTS. By the
Hon. Alex. H. Stephens. National Publish?
ing Company, Atlanta, Ga.
The high official position held by Mr.
Stephens during the Confederate war, no
less than his distinguished ability and his
large political experience, made it emineutly
proper that he should write a history of the,
great struggle which changed so entirely the
social and political aspect of the Southern
States, and produced a lasting impression
upon the minds of the whole people. As
vice-President of the Confederacy, Mr.
Stephens had an opportunity denied to
nearly every other Southerner, of knowing
the most secret details relating to the con?
duct of the war, while his acknowledged
ability and breadth of thought enable him,
in justification of his people, to expound the
causes of ,the war, both near and remote,
and to place upon record the doctrines and
sentiments which led the Southern States to
seek security and redress by the act of se- ]
cession. Both North and South were ready
to give credence to his statements of fact,
and to receive with respect hi3 expressions
of opinion. No wonder, then, that the suc?
cess of the first volume of Mr. Stepliens's
work was extraordinary, its sale reaching
sixty thouspnd copies.
In the first volume Mr. Stephens couflned
himself exclusively to an elucidation of the
causes of the war; but in the second and
concluding volume, now published, he nar?
rates the story of the war, giving especial
emphasis to the action of the Government
of the Confederacy, or to what may be
called its secret history- For the first time
a full account of the earlier days of the Con?
federate Government, and particularly of
the Provisional Government at Montgomery,
is given to the world. The vexed question
of the exchange of prisoners has much new
light shed upon it, and the narrative of the
conference between President Lincoln and
the Confederate Commissioners, at Hamp?
ton Roads, ?3 the fullest and most valuable
yet given to the public. Mr. Stephens was
the principal negotiator on the Southern
side, and his statement will bc accepted
without cavil or dispute.
The form of the work, as already pointed
out, is awkward and clumsy, but this small
blemish does not detract from its sterling
value and great importance. Mr. Stephens
writes calmly and temperately, without acri?
mony or partisan feeling. In the privacy of
his home he has been able to review the past
iu all its length and breadth, and the result
i3 a work which adds the graphic charm of ?
a romance to the judicial severity of history.
This work upon "The War between the
States" should be found in every Southern
household, both as a record of the events of
the most pregnant years of our history, and
as an official statement, from the Southern
stand-poiut, of thc cansos and reasons of Se?
cession. The book is sold by subscription
only, and agents are wanted in every county.

FLAVORING EXTRACTS.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES.
QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED.
We beg leave respectfully to call the attention
of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts.
As ten years have now elapsed since we first in
troduced them to the notice of the American pub?
lic, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter
into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac
There is hardly a eity or town of any note in the
country into which they have not found their
way. The reason of this widespread popularity
and dally increasing demand la owing entirely to
their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth.
Being determined to make them the Standard Ex?
tracts of the day, we have still further Improved
their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be
lleve that they stand wi th o nt a rival. Our Vanilla
Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and
delicacy of flavor. It ls a strictly pure and high?
ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Bsans. La
short, we think it the best thal is made, at least,
this ls the decision of the best judges In "?ni coun?
try. We don't pretend to compete m price wita
many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the
day, which are really but worthless compounds,
undeserving of the name.
For quality and style, we defy competition.

Many dyspeptics, who cannot tolerate fresh,
light cakes when made with yeast, can eat them
with Impunity when raised In this way.
When used according to directions, lt ls war?
