In Commodore M. F. Maury's recent
letter to Mr. Wm. Lav?ton, in reference
to the Charleston -May Convention, the
Commodore /-very properly places much
stress upon tho value to the Sooth of
foreign immigration. He alindes first to
the strong prejudices in the minds of
European immigrants against the South,
and to remove this prejudioo, he holds,
is one of tho tasks boforo ns. Next, he
suggests, that this move for immigrants
must not be left to the present Legisla?
tures in ibo South, but should enlist the
united efforts, of the whole Southern
people. ThiB is an important sugges?
tion. Commodore Maury, in the next
place, alludes to the vast importance of
European immigration. Ho remarks,
that tbis.it is which has put the North so
far ahead, of the South in wealth and
population. In 1790, the difference in
population between the two sections, was
but 10,OOQ, and although natural increase
hos been in favor of the South, yet the
difference now amounts to 10,000,000 or
15,000,0001 We agree with Mr. Maury
that the putting of foreign immigration
in motion;will draw ofter it moro benefits
than any mensure yet proposed to the
South since she laid down her arms. As
ho otates, it will bring UB labor, wealth
aud power, lesson taxation, and bring
with it direct trade. This matter bf im?
migration will como up bofore the May
Convention, in Charleston. Let ds hope
that the ball may be put in motion. The
laurels arenow waiting for him who shall
offer a Well-digested, working sob?me,
whereby tho flow of European immigra?
tion shall bo directed to these Southern
fields Here is an industrial movement
that strikes nt tho very root of om- em?
barrassments. Here is tho pa th-way
leading to Southern regeneration and a
more prosperous era than any that has
yet dawned upon this Southland. Who
will lead iii this field of great endeavor?
Who will give us the way and means?
Let PATRIOTISM take this thing to heart,
and earnest THOUGHT seek to solve the
problem, j
CONDITION AND PKOSPEOT OF THE SOUTH.
The Mobile Register says that it is mar?
velous how the South has risen in five
years from what was apparently complete
prostration to great prosperity, and tc
promise far greater. Southern credil
has been re-established on a firm basis,
and advances are made with a confidence
equal to anything that preceded the darli
days of 1861. Cotton bas mounted hit
throne and is again "king." He was i
orownless monarch five years ago, and
nowi wo are told, his last year's crop was
2,700,000 commercial bales, or 3.000.00C
bales of 400 lbs. each, in value equal te
8800,000,000. Late despatches from Cal
cutta announce that the Earl of Mayo
Governor-General of India, is making i
tour of the cotton-growing districts o
that country, urging upon the people th?
necessity of the increased cultivation o
ootton in order to compete successfully
with the United States. England hat
long been engaged in such efforts, bu
has no better prospect of success nov
than before.
The Mobile Register tolls ns, also, tha
Virginia, in 1869, sold 100,000 tons o
her.products, while her mines of iron
coal, lead, copper and gypsum "are nov
worked more satisfactorily than over be
fore;" that South Carolina paid an in
ternal revenue tax of $2,500,000, and i
State tax of 81,000,000, and greatly rc
duccd her debt; that twenty great rail
roads are constructing in the two Caro
linas, Georgia and Florida, whilo Dela
ware, Maryland, West Virginia, Mis
souri, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mis
sissippi and Alabama have about fort]
new lines uudcr woy; that the tobacci
orop of last year amounted to 225,000,
000 pounds, valned at 837,000,000, th
rice crop 55,000 tierces, being an increns
of 20,000 over the preceding year, uni
the sugar orop 80,000 or 85,000 hogs
heads, against 37,647 for 1867. Th
prospect for the coming year is believe
to be even brighter. Immigration i

EAST AND WEST.-The Baltimoro Qc
zelte has little hope of a reaction in th
West so long as New England rules thn
Eart of the country, as well as the South
y emissaries called Senators and Con
grossmen. Tho Gazette says:
"We have no faith whatever in anj
thing the Western people can do, unti
they make nn entire change in thei
representatives. When they send t
Congress Western men-men raoy of th
soil and impregnated with Western ideo
-a different systom of fioanoe and a bel
ter system of revenue may possibly b
carried into effect. At present, by dit
of persistent self-assertion, and by it
sidiou8 politioal combinations for purel
selfish ends, the East is paramount i
Congress, and will continue to can
matters there with a high baud until i
ascendant is successfully disputed, an
the advocates of monopolies are pt
down by men who will not abandon the
convictions of what is best for the we
fare of the wholo conn try, to serve tl
interests of party and the greed e

K? Klux, Rifle?, &c.
MB. EDITOB : A oorre?j>o?<3enJt ol the.,
Republican, wrjting? mm W>fj place,
under ?ato of llth inst., undertakes to
vindicate Governor Scott in j the "Win?}
ohesW Rjflo" aifair,. by |hrowirf? mod at
the white people of South Carolina. In
the course of bis remarks he says some
things that I desire to notice through ?
your columns. He introduces into bis
vindication a brief but brilliant epistle
from David G. .Robertson to Governor
Scott, which runs as follows:
"SUMTER, S. C., April 10, 1870.
"7b Bis Excellency E. K~. Scott.
"GOVERNOR: I respectfully ask you to
send a few men into Sumter County. IJ
would like two men sent to my house, as
the Ku Klux are still organized, and the |
colorod people have no protection, Sec.,
Seo. ? "Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, DAVID G. ROBERTSON."
The writer under review tells bis
readers, immediately under this letter,
that "this Mr. Robertson is a brother of
Hon. T. J. Robertson, member of the
United States Senate from this State."
This ho does, I presume, for the samo
reason that an amateur artist, who had
made a drawing of such nniquo appear?
ance that it might bave been worshipped
without violating that part o? the first
commandment which forbids the worship
of the likeness of anything in beaven
above, or in the earth beneath, wrote
under ,his picture: "This is a cow." It
appears to me, that any man who should
read-the letter of Mr. Robertson, with?
out knowing any more about bim than
he could glean from it, would immedi?
ately conclude .that he was a member of
the colored "persuasion,'.' for whom tho
intensely radical Oounty of Sumter
affords "no protection. ? should say,
from a knowledge Of the political status
of Sumter, coupled with the wording of
that epistle, that there is the largest kind
of a "nigger in the wood-pile," if we
could only find him. T think I see the
woolly end of him. What a formidable
organization the Sumter Ku Klux must
have, that it requires two of Scott's
riflemen to protoct the tenants of one
house from their ferocious attacks. I
should say, by all means, Governor Soott
ought to send the two men, and suggest
that the correspondent of the Republican
be one of them, and that he goes armed
with a "Winchester Rifle," and a very
large squirt-gun. The occupants of tho
tenement, which requires so strong a
guard, might find the squirt-gun very
useful, after the descent of the Ku Klux,
about the post occupied by the valiant
knight in question. Governor Scott will
doubtless be the recipient of numerous
letters similar to this one of Mr. Robert?
son's, during the approaching summer
and fall, all designed for the same pur?
pose, i. e., to create the impression that
there is a necessity for the militia to be
sent out with their "Winchester Rifles,"
to keep the peace.
This correspondent wonders if a cer?
tain "South Carolina gentleman," whom
he ' introduces into bis epistle, "ever
stood by, and with a heart Calloused by
nature, and hardened by custom, and
without a compunction of conscience,
watched the lash descend, cutting deep
iuto his own flesh and blood." Here is
a lover of peace and quiet, is he? Oue
who wauts to see peace and harmony re?
stored to this distracted country. And
how does he propose to effect that great
and most desirable object? Why, by
contemptiblo appeals to the basest, most
ignoble passion of our corrupted nature
that of revenge. He hopes, by a con?
tinual re-opening of old wounds, to foster
and perpetuate a spirit of hatred in tho
breast of the former slave, who was made
such by Yankee cupidity, towards his
former owuer. Tho man who can con?
descend to such an execrable course,
ought to bo sent to board with General
Stoibrand, "for bis country's good." I
wonder, also; and what is my wonder?
Why, I wonder if the writer in question
ever trod the soil of Massachusetts in his
childhood? I wonder if bo over heard
of Boston, the city from which between
1,700 and 1,800 white children ore sont
annually to the tombs, and of which
unfortunate class, the judgo of the
police court of that city declared, on tho
23d of May, 18G5, "not moro than au
average of ono in thirty over saw a Bible,
or learned what it told of." The same
city, of which the same judgo said, ou
tho samo day: "Ono-?fth of all the
children of this city are under tho in?
fluen?a of the school of destitution, de?
bauchery and crime." This is the land
whoso orators are eloquent in depioting
and deploring tho unhappy condition of
tho poor of the South; and which sends
forth its swarms of philanthropic carpet?
baggers iuto every nook and corner of
the South, Uko a swarm of devouring
locusts, to eat up the substance of our
people, and to vilify and abuso us, be?
cause wo have sense enough to see
through their shallow tricks, and courage
enough to oxpose them, and solf-rospect
enough to loathe and contemn the mise?
rable creatures who, vampyre-like, are
sucking our lifo blood. Let them go
homo and place their own perishing
children in comfortable circumstances;
give them food, clothing and shelter;
let them banish the monstrous crime of
foeticide from their own borders, which
their own writers say is a crying evil
there; and then let them oomo with
clean hands and pure hearts to the work
of renovating our country, which they
have made desolate. FIDES.

.. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14, 1870.
It ia.rather a startling fact that there
ara no% pending before the two Honses
of Congress, bills proposing to give
away to railroads 700,000,000 acres of
the public domain. This amount will
comprit^ on area of more than the origi?
nal thirteen States. The amount which
has been granted to the four Pacific
roads, as appears by the records of the
Land Office, is 127,000,000. Jay Cooke
& Co. have advertised the bonds of ono
of these roads with a statement from tho
engineer, that the land grants were more
than sufficient to build the entire road.
From this it appears that Congress is
building the roads, while private indi?
viduals-capitalists-are reaping the
benefit.
Great preparations have been made in
this city for the celebration of tho adop?
tion of the fifteenth amendment to-duy.
Quite a farce was played in tho House
on Monday upon this subject. A resolu?
tion passed the House, allowing the
colored people tho use of tho Hall of
Representatives upon the occasion of
the celebration; but later in the day, the
boys in blue, aa almost exclusively co?
lored organization, ascertaining that
Mayor Bowen and his olique had pro?
cured the adoption of tho resolution,
and that the day did not agree with the
day which they had selected, appeared
before the House Committee, and suc?
ceeded in having the r?solution rescind?
ed. This is considered another defeat of
the May or by the reformers. The Mayoi
and his friends will now be compelled to
join in with tho reformers, or be con?
sidered bolters, and still further lose
caste with the colored people.
An investigation of the charges which
Hon. Fernando Wood has preferred
against Geueral Howard, will be com?
menced in the Houso to-day. Those
who have visited Washington,, within thc
past year or two, and who have ridden
out the Seventh street pike, cannot fui.
to have noticed the imposing structure
just beyond the Park, known as Howard't
University. This structure stands in the
back ground and is relieved by a very
handsome residence, having a Mansarc
roof, and built apparently of a new briol
resembling granite. This residence i;
owned by General Howard. When the
General left Maine to engage in the late
C?A? war, he was a poor school-teacher
He has been in the army from that timi
to this, and bas only bad his salary te
livo upon. Several years ngo ho was io
duced by a brick company to try the nev
brick of which Howard University ii
built, and of which his own house ii
apparently built. It will be remcmberee
that a portion of tho University building
tumbled down, and that a oommissiot
appointed to oxamino into the matter re
ported the entire structure dangerous
und liable to be washed down by hare
rains. Tho General took the preoautioi
in building his own houso to use a lininj
made of ordinary brick for safety, whili
the patent brick was used for ornamen
and for deception. The General ha
lived ; been generous and benevolent
entertained, and has bought proport;
and built a house which cost more thai
all the money, perhaps, that he has rc
ceived for bis services iu tho army. Th"
would not seem strange for a mau in th
business walks of life, but it does seen
passing strange for one who, while liviuj
upon a salary, professes to be tho walk
ing personification of perfection. W
cannot surmise what the result of thi
investigation will be, for we are so usei
to seeing tho whitewash brush employe
in painting rainbows, we would not b
surprised to seo it cast in mid-day,
dazzling halo around the head of thi
illustrious Chief of the Freedman'
Bureau. If Adam, being a Republican
were before a Republican committee, h
would be exculpated for eating the foi
bidden fruit, on the ground that sac
diet is constitutional; while if Nebuchad
nezzar were before the?same committee
being a Democrat, he would be sentence
to the penitentiary for eating grass, o
the ground tbnt such diet is not constiti
tional, "vox Populi, xox dei." Per r<
quest of Mr. Wood, Joseph H. Bradley
Esq., of this city hus been retained t
conduct tho prosecution. It will bo rc
membered that Mr. Bradley is* the genth
mau who was dismissed from practioin
in the District Courts, by order of th
D. C. Supreme Court, for indeccr
language used toward Judge Fisher, du
ing the John Barratt trial.
Bat few realize tho amount of work I
bo performed in the Census Bureau i
Washington for tho next three year
General Walker, its Superintendent, wit
his small force, has been actively engage
duriug the past two months, arrangic
and putting in order, sending out to tl
United States Marshals in tho sever
States preliminary instructions prepar
tory to a commencement of the censa
taking, on the first of June. Allowin
that it may only requiro this year, as
suggested by Secretary Cox, the Ban:
number that were employed in 186
which was 4,417, with the probable esl
mated population of the United Stat
and Territories at the present time to 1
40,000,000, it will be seen that tl
uverage number of persons to bo entere
by each numerator will be 9,555, <
nearly one-fourth greater than in 186
With the utmost care both in 1850 ai
in 1860 in so sub-dividing the marsh
districts, with a view to an cqualizatic
of the labor and compensation arnot
the numerators, it was found, after a
very inequitable; and whatever the U
might be, and with any division thi
might make, it seems, after a thorouj
investigation of the subject, that the
would still exist the samo difficulty,
a country like ours, it is impossible
vary tho sub-divisions in extent of si
face and population to suit all the oth
conditions of a thorough enumeratio
and a just distribution of the compeni
tion among all the assistants under t
existing law, allowing tho assistants ti
cents per capita for eaoh name enrolled,
ten cents for.eaoh.farm entered, and ten
conta for every milo traveled in the per?
formance of their lahore. Abd for that
rea ion the Secretary has suggested a bill
whioh is now before Congress, that pro?
vides additional appropriation of fifty
percent, for taking the census, to bo Used
to equalize the compensation of the
numerators.
The funding bill, as passed the Senate,
is now before the House Committee and
subject to tho fullest discussion. It does
not meet tho views of a majority, and it
can be safely predicted that it will
undergo several obaoges before it is re?
ported to the House. To reduce the
taxation of the national banks with a
view to encourage them to bank on a
lower rate of interest, would be as much
loss in revenue to the Government as tho
Government would save by the low rate
of interest.
It is rumored that a compromise has
been agreed upon in the Georgia matter,
to the effect that in lieu of the Bingham
amendment, a substitute be offered for
the consideration of Congress, for un
election to be held in September, for au
election of a now Legislature, and subse?
quently tho State may apply for repre?
sentation in Congress. Tho substitute
will be strougly opposed by the Demo?
crats and tho Bingham faction.
Tho Government of the United States,
for the calendar year 18G9, collected tux
on manufactured tobacco, snuff and
cigars, in round nnmbers, about $28,
000,000. Allowing the population of the
United States to be at present d0,000,000,
this would give a tax of less than seventy
five cents per capita. The population of
Great Britain, including Wales, Scotland
and Ireland, is about 28,000,000, and
they are reported to have derived from
tobacco a revenue of $27,000,000, being
a little less than $1 per capita. In a me?
morial addressed by the Executive Com
mittee of the National Tobacco Associa?
tion to Congress, it is stated that the tax
collected per capita on tobacco manu?
factured in the United States is nearly
three times that of any country in the
world.

Ros KOO.-The Norfolk Haily Journal, of
December ll, 18G9, says: . .
"Thia medicine is rapidly gaining confi?
dence of tho peoplo, and the numerous testi?
monials of ita virtues, given hy practitioners of
medicino, leaves no doubt that it is a safe and
reliable remedy for IMPUBITY OF THE BLOOD,
LIVEB DISEASE, AC."
Tho last Meiical Journal contains an arti?
cle from Prof. R. 8. Newton, M. D., President
of the E Modi-College, city of New York, that
speaks in high terms of its curative proper?
ties, and gives a spacial recommendation of
Koakoo to the practitioners of medicine. V
This is, we believe, the first instance where
such medicinen have boen officially endorsed
by tho Faculty of any of the Medical Colleges,
and reflects great credit upon the skill of Br.
Lawrence, its compounder, and also puts
"Eoskoo" in the VAN of all other medicines
of tho proBent day. F26
