A Noutuern View of Immigration' to Tnii South.?Io u recent issue of tho Economist, it was shown that the public lande have all been sold or granted away. In view of this fact, tho question, what direction the vast, curreutof immigration that daily passes through New York shall take, becomes interesting Anil for the present, wo unhesitatingly reply, Soutb wardl Yes, Southward; aud Smtbwurd it will pn, if tbo lurid boldors of tho South nr?? wise. The war deprived them of their slavea, and political rogues have robbed them since; but they yet have fortune iu their grasp?they need but to see Hud Beize it The means are simple. Nearly every land-owner holds large tracts that he bus neither men nor mo? ney to work properly; aud the tuxes ou j these tracts ruost come out of his limited j ready-cash means. The remedy is thin: .Let him oiler to give such*portion of his reul estate as be cinuot develop himself to any one who will iu good faith Bottle tboreou and cultivate or otherwise im? prove it; taking care to deed tbe laid with reversion to himself, in case the grantors tail to improve. Thus be will relieve himself of a Iftirden, increase the population of his District, and mire the value of the estate which he conti noes to bold. By ju Itcious managemeut of this sort, nearly every owner of laud, whom tbe misfortunes of recent yeurs have im? poverished, may yet recover thu fortune that ouce was hie, and, after ull his troubles, pass bis declining years in prosperity and ease. If he oomplains of tbo robberies committed on him by car? pet-baggers anil scalawags, the remedy is in his oivu bands, aud consists iu iuvitiu? to his State a white population, whose intelligence will render such spoliation impossible. The world wants the S.mlb's cottou, sugur aud mineral wealth; vast regions iu tbo South are now awuitiug tbe de? velopment that slavery uo longer forbids; and it is for tbe South herself to say whether she will use tbo golden oppor? tunity. The tendency of the negro raco to become stationary, or even to decrease iu number or become extinct, perhaps makes a policy of this kind especially urgeul; for this fact makes it evideut that tilts race cannot be depouded ou for uuy addition to the present development of tho regtOM it inhabits. Nor need the white immigrant four the competition of bis ssble brother. The ellect of centuries of iguoruucii cannot l>3 effaced iu a few generations; aud thefuturu will probably see the colored popnlatiou occupying tbo swamps and less accessible portions of the soil, while white tm.-n develop the resources of tbe country. Tbe comple? tion of a oompetiug liue between New Yoik aud Washington, aud of the Chesa? peake and Ohio Road, gives additional facilities iu thu future both to immigra? tion aud the marketing of tho fruit of immigrants' Isbor. [AdiC York Economist. Tbo Christian Union coutains nn edito? rial on tho battle of money, in which oc? cur tho following paragraphs: Tho great battle of our day is to bo tbe battle of money. The combination of capitalists, tho consolidation of rail? roads, the enormous concentration of money iu comparatively few bunds, is raising up a Plutocracy which threatens to over match legislatures, courts and all private interests that may stand iu the way of gigantic corporations. If the very ablest men in Congress are so easily beguiled aud perverted by the first onset, what will tbe future be, when millions of dollars cau be brought to bear on Congress to secure millionaires' legislation, as against the interests of the common people? Is the Congress of the Uuitcd States to become an exchange on which money princes shall meet und exebauge com? modities? The remedy is two-fold: There must be formed a home sentiment of honesty, which shall make it impossible for any man to enjoy such gains os bo gets by a sacrifice- of honor, truth and publio trust. As long as men, by scores and hundreds, cuu go to the legislature poor, and in five years return rich, maintain their popu? larity aud enjoy their ill-gotten posses? sions, of what use will it be ouce in ten years to sacrifice- a luckless criminal amid universal execrations. The ho? nesty must dwell among common people. There must bo honesty at tbe source of power. If tbe people are debauched, their representatives will not be virtu? ous. The morul education of the whole community must, after all, be the grand remedy. .?.? European and American Rail-roads.? A correspondent of tbe Syracuse Courier says of Italy: Her railroad stations aro maguificeut structures; waiting rooms olegautly frescoed, and the seats of tbo finest nilk velvet. When a train stops for dinner they givo you one hour to eat your meal. Tbe railroad beds are tbe finest iu the world, and the roads are tbe smoothest I have ever ridden over. Tbe embankments are ull built up of solid masonry of the most substantial nature, and tbe bridges are all of masBivo stone. If the bridges, ombankmonts and road bods of tho New York Central Railroad were built liko those of tbe High Italy Railway, that road, with its immense revenues, could not pay a half per cent, dividend on the cost of its construction. The expense of rnuniog railroads in Italy iseuormons. Every ton of coal is bought in England, costiug ?10 ir. gold per ton, nnd transported at au immense cost to Italy. Tho system is admirable. Of course 1 do not like tbe carriages; hut iu every other respect they excel us Americans. It is impossible for a tra? veler to get into the wrong train or car, ewn if he does not speak a word oi [''???och or Italian. Every man con? nected with a railroad wears a uniform, and the guard lilts bis bat to you as he politely examines your ticket. 1 have traveled uenrly 4.000 miles iu Europe, on many different roads, and 1 never mi.->-d a train or S:u;-w one to Iks five minutes bettln I time.

West.?A Doa Moines correspondent in Friday's Cliioago Tribune gives valuable statistics as to the work nt tin* granges. The order Was founded in Washington in 1807, aud sine* thru, Mr Wilson, Secretary at Des Meines, reports it bus toruied n home and habitation in twen? ty-six Stute? and Territories, and in twenty one States there are State organ? izations. The number of granges is roughly estimated ul ?! 500. with an ave? rage membership of fit), making a total membership of '220.000. In Iowa, there are 1,700 granges?an increase of over 1,000 since January 1. The average number of members in each grange is put at 50?a low estimate?making a total membership of o7,500, of whom one-fourth are women aud young men between eighteen and tweut3--oue, leav? ing uu adult membership of G7.G50, which may bo regained as tho political or votiug power of tho Organization iu that State alone. Socially, the order has accomplished much good. Heretofore, the farmers, especially iti the sparsely-settled districts, kuew little or nothing Of each other, sel? dom came in contact, were without the mental .stimulant geuerated by the fric? tion of mind against niiud, and the smaller amenities of life and thosocid iuterconrr^c which make up so much of man's brief career were; sadly lacking. The grunge brought them together. It was established for their benefit; they gravitated toward it; aud soou the cohe? sive power of mutual kindness, good will aud interest bound them together to promote the cstumon weif ire. The agent receives orders from the granger ; tor iuipit incuts, groceries, dry goods, boots and shoes, pianos?in short, for anything aud everything they noed, aud buys in bulk, the principle being that the more he buys the les.s he pays. It is j'ist the difference botweeu whole? sale and retail. They claim to purchase at about the same price as country dealers, earning the profits absorbed by i midille-meu, wuethcr dealers or agents. I Manufacturers write to Mr. Wilson that i their agencies cost them Irom S2?,000J to 800,000 annually, and they were will? ing to reduce the price of machines in proportion us they could reduce their agencies by selling directly to grauges. Iu .some of the eonutry towns liiere were too many stoics lor the population, j Wheu the grauges began to purchase iu large quantities the small dealers were i forced out of busiues.-. Mr. Wilson; said they were nou prodi'cers, aud tkeii i a bare living out. of communities on ( which they were burdeus. The dealers: who remained were benefited by in? creased trade, as the granges i-iude it a I rule, as far as consistent with their inte-! rest, to encourage home merchants and homo mat u fact tires. i Tho agent first goes to the nearest! town, to see if he nun deal there ou rea? sonable term. ; if not, he goes to a larger town, until finally he goes to Chicago tor all large jmichnscs. In most case?, the Stale ugenl was entrusted with the larger transactions, us ho received orders for the same kind of goods from nil the granges, aud bought at wholesale. At the outset, wholesale dealers and manu? facturers iu Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Louis refused to null at wholesale rates to the granges, on the ground that it would ruiu their couutry custom; but event? ually they dismounted from their high horses, and uro now very willing to soli? cit orders uud offer special inducements to grauges. There are agents of the order iu Chicago, looking after its inte? rests aud watching the markets. They have agents at the stock yards; "and, by the way," observed Mr. Wilsou, "the rates charged at these same stork yards are exorbitant aud oppressive ou the producer. It is a close corporation?a monopoly." A Caio'et Story ?"Mark Twain," in a letter from London to the New York Herald, teile the following story: It is paid by tho.se who ought to know, that wheu Buckingham Palace was being fitted up as a home for the Shah, one of the chief rooms was adorned with a rioh carpet, which bad been dosigned and manufactured especially to charm the eye of his Majesty. The story goes on to say, that a couple of tho Persian suite came here a few weeks ago, to see that all things were in readiness and no? thing overlooked, and that when they reached that particular room und glanced at the lovely combination of green figures aud white ones in that carpet, they gathered their robes carefully about their knees, and then went elaborately tip-toeing about the lloor, with the as? pect and anxiety of a couple of cats hunting for dry ground in a wet coun? try, aud they stepped only on tho white figures, and almost fainted whenever they came near touching a green oue. It is said that tho explanation is, that these visiting Persians are all Mohammedans, and green being a color sacred to the descendants of the prophet, and none of these people boing ho descended, it would bo dreadful profanation for them to de? file tho holy color with their feet. And tho general result of it all was, that that carpet had to be taken up, anil is a dead loss.
