Some IntercftlOK StatUtlcs-Tho Letton
Tiley Teach.
In 180S there arrived at the port of
New York 213,636 emigrants, of whom
but 2,750 gave their destination as one
or tho otbor of the cotton States. From
11855 to 1868, inclusive, 2,039,431 had an
"avowed destination;" of this number
only 21,653" declared an intention of
going to tho cotton States, From-May
5, 1847, to January 1, 1869, 4,038,991
emigrants arrived; of which 1,500,000
were Irish, .and about the same number
wore Germans. From January to June
21,1869,131,234 emigrants were received
in New York, and although this was an
increase of thirty-three per cent, over
1868, yet tho number going South was
almost identically the samo as during
tho same period of last year. The na-,
tioualities that furnished emigrants for
1868'were the following:

The only inference that we desire to
draw from theso statistics at present is
thin, that VG hate the mathematical evi?
dence of tho faot that we have not yet
succeeded in turning, lo any perceptible
extent, tho tide of emigration South?
ward. Of course, the Agares given do
not exactly represent the number of
emigrante that the South has received,
since the figures apply to the port of
New York alone. But inasmuch aa thj
great body of emigrants reach this coun?
try through New York, the aforesaid
figures give a fair representation of the
state*of the case. It is plain that the
South must bestir itse'f if it would get
European immig anta. Measures must
be taken to correct the prejudices that
have been aroused against us, and wc
must freely advertise to the world the
friendly greeting and thc fine opportuni?
ties that aw?1* the immigrant who comes
to settle in oar section.
The negro question, says the LouisvP'e
Courier-Journal, will not long give the
Southern States any serious practical
trouble. If the negroes remain where
they are, they will soon, by all the laws
of nature, pass under the moral and
political control of the white race, and,
if they go away, that will be the last of
them. Whether they stay or go, they
will, in a few years, be very inconsidera?
ble in numbers aud next to nothing in
influence. They are rapidly approach?
ing extinction. Had their ears been pro?
phetic, they might have heard in the
60tmd of the Lincoln proclamation, the
solemn undertone of u mighty death
bell.
CALIFOKNIA.-A despatch from Go?
vernor Haight conveys tho gratifying in?
telligence thut the Democratic victory in
California is overwhelming, and that the
Democrats have three-fourths of the
Legislature. In the last Legislature the
Republicans had the Senate by four ma?
jority, aud the Democrats the Lower
House by twenty-four majority. A
Cheybnno despatch announces that the
Democrats .have also carried Wyoming
Territory, electing their candidate to
Congress. Thus the extreme Weat thun?
ders in response to the Democratic vic?
tories in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia
and Montana.
All this talk about tho alleged exist?
ence of a secret aociety in North and
South Carolina, called thc Ku Klux Klan,
is but an evidence of the straits to which
radicalism is pushed in Ohio and Penn?
sylvania. They want the bloody effigy
of a Hayed negro, in order once more to
??fire the Northern heart," and they think
this will answer. Well, nous verrons/

We find the following in tho San Fran?
cisco Herald, of the 30th ult. Among
the members of tho Legislature recently
elected, it speaks thus of our former
townsman, who was a member of the last
Democratic Legislature of South Caro?
lina:
Mr. Thomas P. Ryan likewise belongs
to the legal profession. We are not
aware whether yet admitted to the Cali?
fornia bar or not. He is a young gentle?
man of fine attainments, a gifted speak?

honest man. Mr. Ryan is not ono to fail
to avail himself of the opportunity for
distinction a legislativo career will all'ord

Tbe report of the Bureau of Statistics,
showing the amount of duty paid in 18G8
upon articles of import, furnishes somo
interesting facts, to which allusion may
be made. Tho largest sum paid is in
sugar and candy, $30,300,870. Coffee
follows, $10,057,845. The next is upon
?roman's and children's dry goods and
talian cloth.?, 810,656,901. Next are iron

$2,196,142; all other, 82,735,318; steel
and manufactures of, $3,246,070. Tea
amounts to $9,414,864. Spirits and

81,526,706; molasses, $4,402,624. Then

um there was $559,066, and upon other
drugs, dyes, chemicals, ?c., only $465,
589; showing, evidently, that a very large
quantity of opium is used outside the
medical profession, and for reprehensil 'e

$150,740, and on dol?a $53,713, whilst

Tho flic started some weeks ago in the
Dismal Swamp, Va., bas extended twen?
ty miles, is still raging, and has destroy?
ed timber, staves and shingles valued at
about $200,000. Several tine farms have
been burnt out, aud where wero once
rich fields are now seen acres of ash-pits,
some of which are fifteen feet deep. Tho
trains on the Petersburg Hoad aro delay?

ber, which not only blocks up the way,
but bums tho ties and twists the rails.
When the wind is West, vessels in the
James River have to anchor, on account
of the dense smoke. Tho swamp in
many places is dry down to tho sub-soil,
from four to fifteen feet, and being of a
light, inflammable character-roots and
vegetable remains-the fire extends to
the ground beneath. Wild game-deer,
bears and wild turkeys-havobeen driven
out in great numbers, and arc devastat?

able negroes of Norfolk have been hired
to save the stock of staves and shingles.

THE ISSUE IS 1870 EQUAI? OK UNEQUAL
TAXATION-ECONOMY OR JOUMN?.-Car
doza's lalo speech in Boston is a most in?
structive document, because it lets out
plainly the fact that it is tho policy of
tho present State Government to violate
their own Constitution, and "tax thc
largo landed proprietors uuequally, so as
lo compel them to sell out." lt confirms,
too, our lato comments on tho land com?
mission in every particular. The Union
Leagues are forming again, too, and, it

for tho purpose, among other things, of
"demaudiug, next January, one-half of
tho crop." These are tho bost immigra?

to persuade us, but necessity and the de?
signs of our enemies to force us to our

G?NERAI. RAWLINS.-Tho testimoi
seems to be universal that, in the doa
of Geueral Rawlins, tho South has lc
a powerful friend. Ho fought us in tl
day of battle; but, like a man of herc
soul, ho rebuked tho wantonness
those who continued the warfare in
state of peaco. At tho last Cabinet me?
ing ho attended, he denounced milita
and carpet-bag domination. On 1
death-bed, he earnestly hoped that t
South would not be humiliated, in
mating that her humiliation would eau
regrets to many when they were so nc
eternity as ho was at that time. His i
dent dosiro to see Grant before he die
was, uo doubt, in this connection. T
President could not, or would not, lea
his revelry in timo to seo his expirii
friend in this world. What will becoi
of Grant now that his only merci]
mouitor is gone? What new demohii
will bc launched against tho South n<
that tho most redoubtable friend she h
in the camp of her enemies is dun
and oold, and dead?
Thero is somothing in the departure
this mau, euemy though he was om
that touches a pathetic chord iu c
hearts; and, as ho was a knightly opj
neut in war and a generous adversary
peace, and a solicitous friend as he poss
into tho Valley of the Shadow, we wot
willingly place a garland upon his gra
remembering only what was divino
his nature, and trusting that his 1

"CAN A NEGRO HOLD OFFICE IS GEOR?
GIA?"-Wo are indebted to Gov. Bullock
for a copy of tho arguments of counsel,
with the opinion of the Judges and the
deoieiou of Court, iu the case of Richard
W. White vs. Wm. J. Clemente; decided
in tho Supreme Cor-t of Georgia, June
Term, 18G9.
THE ELTZA BOTER MURDFR.-After a
lengthy flitting, the jury in this case
returned the folios'"lg rather compli?
cated verdict:
"That the said Eliza Boyer came to
her death, on the lQth September, 1869,
by a brick-bat in the hands of au un?
known person or persons to the jury: but
according to evidence before the jury,
that Foster Sutton did, oh the night of
the 4th September, threaten to take the
lifo of said Eliza Boyer; and Isom Ed?
wards was present and accessory."

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.-Yesterday
commenced thc great annual fast observed
by all Israelites throughout the world.
The tenth day of the seventh month,
Tishri, is set apart for "Yom Kippur,"
the Hebrew for Day of Atonement. The
day is reckoned to commence at ??et
of the day previous, aud tho piout w
will not break his fast from that time
til thc stars appear iu the heavens this
evening; and during that time all busi?
ness is suspended by members of the
Mosaic confession. The orthodox, those
who worship God according to tliG tradi?
tion of their fathers, spend nearly this
entire time in the synagogue. This day
is observed with greater sanctity, and
the service imbued with greater solemni?
ty, than at any other time of the year.
