CANADIAN EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES. ‘The United States consul at Port Sasnia, ina aispetch to the Department of State, dated July 27, Says that the prosperity, which 1s so untver- sal throughout the states, 1S In ma:ked contrast to the general depression which prevails In Can- ads. The “outs” throw the blame upon Sir John A. MacDonald and his tariff policy tor the pre- vatling state of affairs, while the organs of the party in power repel these accusations. The re , however, would seem to be an exodus from Canada of some of her best citizens. Con- sul Pace says that the emigrants who crossed over at that point alone during the year ending June 20, 180, and who declared their Intentions of becoming permanent residents of the United States numbered 7 ‘THE TROUBLE ABOUT a GARFIELD FLAG IN THE CapiTor LipkaRy.—It will be remembered that Lowell Russell, white, had a difficulty som> weeks ago with Jobn e the latter displayed a Gartield tlag on his desk tn the Congressional brary, where they were both employed, which Russell tore down, lead- irg to a personal altercation.

No COMPROMISE PROBABLE BETWEEN THE FUNDERS AND READJUSTERS.—A Virginia jour- nalist who was in the city to-day sald to a Star reporter that there 1s no earthly prospect of any compromise between the and re- edjuster wings of the democratic party in that State, The leaders of the regular wing, he sald, do not want a compromise, for the reason that they do not believe it would add any strength to the Haacock ticket. Very many of the LS ular democrats are 80 violently op} to mak- ing apy further concessions to the readjusters tat they would refuse to join in a@ fusion movement, and the ticket would, thereby, lose more support than ft could gain from the Mahoneltes. Tue Star’s informant said that the managers of the regular democratic can- Vass believe that more than half of the read- Pree will vote the regniar Hancock and Eng- Ucket, and that this will make the state ‘secure for the democrats.

WHAT JUDGE ROACH SAYS. A reporter of THE Stax yesterday met Judge Roach, @ prominent democrat of Indiana and former law partner of Senator McDonald. Judge Roach was in Indiana a few days ago and he has talked with neariy all the party leaders re- cently in regard to the campaign in that state. He said to the reporter: “We feel confident of carrying the state, but we have got the hardest Sight on our hands we've ever had, The repub- licans start in this year in better shape than they were when they ended the campaign of 1876, and they are confident. They do not couat when winning any recruits from the democrats, Their calculation of suecess is based upon the ‘reenback vote. In 1879 the greenbackers cast, In round numbers, 39,000 vot The republi- cans calculate that 26,000 of that number came frcm their party, and 13,000 from ours; that this year those yote13 will fall back into their old parties, and therefore the republicans will get two to our one.” Star.—" Then they think the greenback party is out of the race ?”” Judge Roach.—“They think it will not-cut any figure at all, and my impression is that as a separate party, they will poll only a few thou- sand votes, Now Voorhees says that in his part of the state fully two-thirds of the greenback voters were from the democratic party. The republicans also count upon agatn of 3,000 or 4,000 votes from the nezroexodus. They have Tun tn about that many in the state,and though the negroes have not lived there long enough to acquired the right of suffrage, they'll vote all the same. Who can tell one negro from an- other?”” S'ar:—How do the democratic leaders feel?” Jucge R.:—They all express themselves as very well satistied with the situation. Bill Eaglish (democratic candidate for vice president) told me that we would certainly carry the state, and I put more faith in his opinion than that ot any other man, Senator MeDonald, who3e judgment is next in value to that of English, says he is satistied we will elect our state ticket and a majority of the congressmen. I talked with Landers and Voorhees, and both believe we are sure to win, but that’ we have a desper- ate fight on hand. Our folks appreciate the fact that the republicans mean t@ carry the state in October if money and energy can do it, and therefore the democrats are working with all their might. There 1s no truth whatever in the assertion that Landers fs a weak candidate. We could not have chosen a stronger, and the report that there was a proposition to put Hendricks in his lace Was manufactured out of whole cloth. except In two districts, we have the strongest possible candidates for Congress; men who are Stronger than their party. There is nothing to discourage demograts in the situation in In- diana, but on thé contrary everything to en- courage them. Every move of the republican campaigr so far has failed, and we have the vantage ground. THE DEJARNETTE TRAGEDY.- special grand jury in the corporation court at Danville, Va Yesterday returned" a true bill of indictment, against James T.

A number of women fainted, whilst others took refuge in the sane- tuary. The officiating priests re ed re. markably cool, and soon restored order. Father Lane spoke of the impropriety that some per- sops manifest in allowing their dogs to follow them tc church, and he are the hope that What had occurred wou! ve les- son. It was subsequently ascertained that a little dog following a woman into church was caught on the front steps by two or three mis- chievous boys, one of whom stuck a pin into the animal's tail With hey the dog sprang fran- Ucally into the crowd in the vesubule. This caused the panic. DROWNED.—The wife of Dr. Herman Croft, of Stoneridge, N. Y., was drowned at Cole’s Basin, on the Delaware and Hudson canal, on Satur- day evening. Her husband was visiting a patient, leaving her in chai of the horse, which, becoming unmanageable, backed into the canal. A Morugr’s REVOLVER.—Mrs. M. Cahill, Wife of the editor of the Chicago Pilot, called at the Holy Angels Academy, in Buffalo, Sunday night. and forcibly took possession of her four ebildren and carried them away. She urged her claim at the muzzle of a revolver. A Minister oN TRIAL FoR HERESY.—The in- Yestigation of the charges against Rev. Eiwin PLA ney of Dunkirk, N. Y., for holding and teaching doctrines contrary to those of the Holy Seriptures, as set forth in the Confession o1 ee of We ae the real States of America, was y the presbytery of Buffalo in the Central church yesterday morning. The attendance of ministers and lay- men was large. The charge entered against Mr. Adams ts that he preached sermons renouncin; the dectrine of ped unishment, suc’ sermons being era the Rocheste. ee Also that in a published sermon he afllrmed that there is no distinction between Saints and sinners, on which the doctrine of re- tribution is grounded, and which 1s insisted on tn the Contession of Faith. Mr. Adams entered a plea of technically not guilty. The defence Were accorded their usual hearing, and 1t was firally decided that the presbytery postpone final action until the next stated meeting, which will be held at Westfield in September. ‘In the Meantime Mr. Adams ts suspended from exer- cising the functions of the ministry.

Hatton, editor of the Burlington Hawkeye, and likewise postmaster at Burling- ton, Iowa, is at the Ebbitt House. He says he wanted Grant nominated at Chicago, but that Garfield ts going to be elected, and that the Grant men will the ones who will pull him through. The following extract from Senator Wade Hampton’s appeal to the Virginia democrats at Staunton last week to stand firm for Hancock and English, now being widely published tn the republican papers, is not calculated to ver much ald their cause tn the north :—“ Consider what Lee and yackson would do were they alive. ‘These are the same principles for which te fought for four years. Remember the me who poured forth their life-blood on Virginia's soil, and do not abandon them how.” Gen, Hancock’s letter, as we happen to know, is entirely the work of his own brain and hands. Distinguished friends may have seen it after tt ‘was written, but the letter has met with their unanimous ‘approval without alteration. ¥.

Of the Con- gressional districts tbis year thirteen are claimed by the republicans, and only six con- ceded to the democrats.” The New York Sun cals for the publication of Gen. Sherman’s letters of the 5th and 17th of December to Gen. Hancock, upon which the letter of that gentieman’ in regard to the electoral commission, dated Dec. 28th, wa; based, The Sun holds that the kistory of that critical period will be imperfect without these important contributions. Congressional Apportionment. From what has been learned at the census cflice and elsewhere as to the present popuia- ton of the country, it is clear that if the Con- onal apportionment is not cl by en- larging it, the pumber of members to be elected in 1ss3 will be nearly 400. The present appor- Monment is 131,425 to each Congressional dis- trict. The basis will have to be enlarged, or the hall of the House of Representatives will no hold them all. By no possibility can seats and desks be crowded in for nearly 400. The pres- «nt number of members 1s 293. The basis will probably be enlarged to about 170,000 to each Congressional district, which will give about 290 members. A basis of 160,000 would give 312 members, aud a basis of 15,000 would give 323 members, which would be an unwieldy body. The present basis would give about 386 mem- TS. ‘The basis has been changed after every cen- sus since 1790, ‘The changes were as follows: 18t8, It ts thought here that whatever is done the number of members should not be increased. An effort willbe made to e1 the basis so as to reduce the number of members to about 250, which would be as large as is convenient for any legisiative body, but probably the n@m- ber will be fixed at about 300, and the basis changed accordingly.—Cor.

She has long been habitual druukard, and some time ago her hus- band sent her to the House of Correction, hop- ing to effect her reformation. She only drank the harder after her release, and her husband finally threw her off entirely and she became a charge on the county. He refused to obey an order upon him for her maintenance, and Judge Briggs, Cera | his plea, said: “There is nO ground that will warrant a husband in not defraying the expenses of a pauper wife. unless her conduct 1s such as would entitle him toadivorce. Drunkenness is not within the enumerated specifications for a divorce, Not- withstanding that your wife is an incurable in- ebriate, you will have to support her. Drunk- enness is like insanity or any other of the phases of inability to perform the marital con- tract, short of the specifications referred to, and as between the taxpayer and the husban: the law says that the wife must be maintained by the husband. You took her for better or for Worse, and you have no right to discharge her and throw her upon the county for worse. You will have to ppore her until the legislature intervenes by changing the law, or until you petition that for a divorce on the ground named.” Under this decision the responden: pase 0 pay up all the arrearages before he could lepart,” Baltimore Nores.—Deputy Marshal Frey has Secured trom Governor Corneil, of New York, the extradition papers for Bell, the check forgé but the Albany authorities have refused to str- Tender Cleary....Michael O’Hara, a well-to-do Irishman, has been arrested and held for a hearing on the charne of outrage on the person of Mrs. George V loore, near Cambridge....

DENVER, Cor., August 3.—A special dispatch from Santa Fe, to the Trivune, says: News from E] Paso states that Col. B. H. Grierson had 4 fight with Victoria’s band of hostile Indians, about 100 strong, who attempted, on July 30th, to pass north lito Texas, bepween Fort Quit- man and Eagle Springs. With a small party he was encam| on the trail, and believing the Indians would make a break througi the lines, had sent the night before for reinforcements to Fort Quitman and Eagle Spring. At 4 a. m., on the Lieut. Finley and thirteen men or the 10th ca’ alry arrived, and he immediately set to work fortifying his poston. About 9 a.m. the In- dians appeared In force and attac! They were repulsed. At 11 a.m. with two companies, arrived, upon which sharp engagement took p! etween th troops and indians, which lasted about three hours, Lieut.

THIRFY-SEV: DAY'S FASTING. Dr. Tanner Irritable. New York, August r. Tanner has ex- pertenced no nausea since midnight and bis stomach altogether !s in an Improved condition. His features are still pinched and drawn and bis eyes look hectic. His temper is irritable and the crowd of spectators annoy him. The usual drive failed to benefit him and he says he wil! give up going out until the end of his fast. During the morning he drank at inter- vals less than half a pint of croton and mineral water. He is now on his 37th day. Nothing Alarming in Tanner’s Con- dition. The record of Dr. Hoeber, who was one of the watchers last night, says:—“ E don’t yet flnd anything alarming in Dr. Tanner's condition, and believe from the strength developed when he walks, moves and speaks, that if he at- stains from irritating drinks (like mineral water) tuat he may fast four or five days more; that ig, up to Saturday.” This strength seems to leave him during the iy moro- ing hours, and at this time the’ watchers are doubly careful lest signs of a collapse should begin toshow themselves. At one time during the night there were no less than ten physicians 1n the gallery. Tanner seemed to wish for all the air he could possibly get, and had all the windows open.

BLOWING UP A CHILIAN SHIP. An Ingenious a jan Torpedo ite Panama, July 24.—The Chillan transport Loe, purchased at the commencement of the present war, is the steamer which was blown up by a torpedo in Callao bay on the 3dinst. The affair caused great excitement in Lima and much giori- fication among the Peruvians, The plan adopted was the following, as related by a correspondent of the Star and’ Herald:—a Peruvian officer took an ordinary fruit boat, put a torpedo fn the bottom, and over this placed a false bottor, resting on springs kept down by the weight of the cargo. He then loaded it with a very choice assortment of camotes, yucas, chirlmoyos, granadillas, fowls, turkeys, green vegetables, &c., &c., and towing it out to- wands the blockading squadron before daylight, Set lt adrift. All day long that launch floated about, but the Chilians could not see it until about 5 o'clock in the evening. Fearing tt would fall into neutral hands, a boat was sent outto bring it back. The Loa was doing duty. and seeing the boat from shore making towards the neutral vessels, caught sight of the launch, and at once turned towards It. Seeing this, the boat from shere beat a hasty retreat. The Loa lowered 2 boats to fetch in the prize, and It Was brought alongside, and its discharge at once Commenced. As the weight in the launch Was diminished the machinery in connection with the torpedoes was set free, and in a mo- ment 300 pounds of dynamite were exploded and the Loa was Ifted almost out of the water. The effect. as described by those who were Watching the operation with breathless inter- est from the shore, was awful in the extreme. Every house in Callao was shaken to its found- aulon, and every ship in the bay shivered as earthquake had spent its fury beneath them. The {ill- faied ship appeared as enveloped in one mass of flame which resolved itself into dense clouds of black smoke. When this cleared away she seemed not to have suffered, but suddenly she ‘was observed to sink at the stern while her bows went high in the airandthe Loa disap- peared forever. While all this was going on the Blanco Enca- Jada and the Huascar were in their accustomed Positionsfsome e ght miles distant, too far off 10 Tender apy ince to their unhappy cor - Tades or such of them as were left st ing in the water.

Dodge, in a commu- nication to the Commissioners, states that Mr. Kobert C. Holtzman has a wholesale liquor license to do business on Congress street, Georgetown, which he wishes to transfer to a boat on the river; that section 6 of the license laws provides “that except in the case of com- mercial agents, peddiers and Insurance agents, licenses granted by the District shall only be good for the conducting of businesses at the location named therein.” He states that it does not seem to him to be a proper transfer, as it is not likely that a whol yusiness would be conducted on a boat, and if he desires a Dar- room license tbe law, section 10, does not con- template any other place than asquare, He states that his office granted no license to ts. This matter was referred to the at- torney for the District, who stated that if Mr. Hi, will describe the location of his boat so that his place of business can be identified, that there 4s nothing in the law to authorize the treasurer to refuse to issue it to him on payment of the proper sum.
