There being no law of Congréss pro- viding for the collection of statistics of immil- gration across our frontiers by rallway cars and other land vehicles, it ts found impracticable to collect fully and accurately the statistics of im- migrants arriving in the United States from the Dominion of Canada and from Mexico, and they are, therefore, omitted from this state- ment.

He says thatit is true that their small corn ‘been damaged by frost und tLeir wild rice crop nearly ruined by overflow caused by dams onthe Mississippi; but they have the products of their little gardens, and Just at this time they always take a large catch of fish and cure it for winter use. As a matter of fact they are living quite comfortably at the present time. But in February, when rhey ne, turn to their homes, their stores will be ex: hausted and they must wait till spring mules fishing practicable. At that time they will likely need and receive assistance in the way of food from the government, To give it now would bea mistake.

SOME OF THE INSIDE HISTORY OF THE CASE— SYMPATHY FOR THE YOUNG MEN ON TRIAL, A further investigation of the particulars of the Fort Myer court-martial shows astate of affairs practically as described in last night's Star. Nearly the whole class ‘was court-mar- tialed for petitioning for relief from bad treat ment. The men who are being tried emphati- cally deny, however, that they held a meeting and combined for the purpose of obtaining re- dress. They say they individually signed the Petition, for they knew of no other method of securing rel It is also said now that eighteen of the class of twenty-two are being tried, and that the other four were excepted only because they were unable to sign the petition, being absent on post duty. Seven of the an cused. it Is sald, confessed their guilt at the first secret session of the court, before counsel had been secured for them, because they were told that it was the proper and best thing for them to do. Counsel was secured for the boys by a well-known: private citizen, who me cognizant of what was going on, and determined that the young men should have as fair treatment as posaible. When the services of Mr. H.W. Garnett had been secured, and sub- sequently those of Congressman Butterworth, itissaid that great difficulty was experienced: not only in making a defense for the accused but In being able to be present at the sittings of the court, the most inopportune hours being selected. THE FIRST INTIMATION OF COURT-MARTIAL PROCEEDINGS was on the night of the 15th inst. when at eleven o'clock the boys were routed out of bed, and the charges read to them. Since then ses- sions have been held at various hours of the day and night, notwithstanding the statement at signal service head quarters that the first ses- sion of the court was last Tuesday evening. The defense claim that an effort was made to Induce all the boys to confess their gullt, u) the promise that Lieut. Greene, the officer against whom they had thelr grievance, should act as their counsel and things would be made easy for them, THE TREATMENT OF COUNSEL at the hands of the court is a general subject of criticism, When Mr. Garnett appeared for the defense the stenographer he brought with him was not admitted before the court untila a mise was exacted that nothing should be made public, When Mr. Garnett objected to the “pellet” testimony of the canfessed men being recelved as evidence as to the signatures of the Others, he was told toshut up or he would be put out. He repited that, Reaper. asan American citizens to protect American citizens in their rights. With the surrounding bayonets he could be put out, but he dared the court to en- force thelr threat. He then said he would dis- pense with the services of a stenographer, but ‘would remember himself everything that the court did, and see that the public was informed ofall inal opcurred. | When, Mr. Butterworth accompanied Mr. Garnett sul juent 16 Was treated with littic less courtesy.” The result te that these gentlemen WILL MAKE AN APPEAL T0 THE SECRETARY OF WAR in writing, setting forth the manner in which they have been treated and the trial conducted. That joint letter, it was expected, would be sub- mitted to-day. TheSecretary will probably in- struct Inspector General Baird to havea thor- ough investigation made of the whole matter. This is the only way that the subject could be brought officially to the attention of the War department, ‘fne summary course pursued by the stgnal service authorities in this matter is a subject of unfavorable comment, both in civil and mil- itary circles, and the men at Fort Myer bave very general sympathy for the misfortunes which they have unwittingly brought upon themselves, Army officers say that A MISTAKE WAS MADE in holding court at unusual hours. Army reg- ulations prescribe the hours for holding court martials from 8 to 3 o'clock. The who orders a court, however, tay, direct. the oourt Goat oun regard to hours. He is fiven this discretion because it Is often impossible for a court to sit within the proper time on account of marches, &c.,and it is sometimes inadvisable to kecp officers away from their regular duties longer than is absolately necessary. In this instance {t is sald there was no necessity for selecting unusual ours, and It is sata. . look very much ithe only object in view was secresy. ‘Army ‘offeers. way top, ‘that General Sasea lost ‘@ good opportunity to appear in a fa- Vorable light before histmen., What might have been interpreted as an act of insubordination among old soldiers, could only be ascribed to Ignorance on the part of these young men. They thought they were badly treaied and were not aware that they were doing wrong in pe- titioning for relief. Ifthe chief signal officer had taken this view of the matter and pointed out to the young. men the danj ground upon which they were Bending insiees of taking summary action upon would have chécked the trouble, and shows the men that he was interested in thelr welfare and made every subordinate in the service his firm triend, 8 the matter stands, however, there is no telling what the consequences will . Several citizens have become personally interested in the matter and have offered financial assistance to the men in their efforts to secure just treatment. The Johnson-Grant-Depew Matter.

PECULIAR FEATURES OF TRE CAMPAIGN— LEE'S AND WISE'S STYLE OF CAMPAIGNIXG— THE SENATORIAL ISSUE—BARBOUR AND MA- HONE IN THE LEAD IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PARTIES, Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR. Riconp, Va., October 28, 1885, In this city there is no concealment of anxiety by either side as to the result Of the election of next Tuesday. With singular consistency the canvass has been directed on both sides with bluster and pretension cf. confidence which have never deceived thinking people, and which have apparently been intended to influence the political elements likely to be controlled by declamation and ingenious assumptions of zeal, Taking the fervid dislike of Gen, Mahone out of the case, it is questionable whether the elo- quent zeal of democratic newspapers and ora- tors has touched the popularheart as much as may hi Ap} onthe surface. This sug- Fextion implies no discount of the glittering influences attaching to Gen. Fitzhugh Lee's ame and character, and to his high personal worth. In all the eléments ot personality that Virginians Are accustomed to consider the make-ap of fitness for the gubernatorial office, Gen. Lee fills the highest Virginian standard, Sometime before he was nominated, Gen. Lee candidly stated his ambition to be vernor of Virginia, and the declaration helj him to se- ire the nomination. Mr, Wise made a similar declaration of his own ambition. Each helped his own candidacy by appealing to Virginians to be entrusted with an office which ancestors of both had filled honorabl: y.and which Virgin- jans consider‘equal to any political distt jnetios Probably honors are easy as to the methods ofthe campaign. If Gen. Lee's canvass shall bedemonstrated by the result of the election to have been too much based upon the theory of attractive symbols and shibboleths, upon ‘elo- quent traditions and embiems, the fault can- Rot be imputed tohim. He has followed the bogie of his nomination, and if he shall win, the triumph will be mainly due to his own fulfil- ment of the ideal which the democratic con- Yention offered to the ple of Virginia. If Mr. Wise shall defeat. yn. Lee his: personality: in the contest will be just as triumphantly vine dicated as will that ofGen. Lee by a democratic Success. However handicapped by his political and personal relations with Gen. Mahone, for whom Mr. Wise has been the target of demo. Wise has made the canvass in his own way much like that of his father, full of brilliant Surprises to his enemies, and sometimes sur- prising his friends with incidents that some of them would have been glad tosee relegated to the “archives of gravity, Heis a Tone jon of his father in ‘many res; pects, and the canvass of thirty years ago against know-nothingism of Henry A. Wise is recalled In the pungent satire, invective and quaint imagery of his son in his canvass for the office which his father memor- ably won. Consulting the sentiment here, one would ‘no hesitation in reaching the conclusion of Gen. Lee's election by a large majority, as Richmond is heartily for Fitz Lee. It is also against John Wise. becuuse his political views are not those of Richmond, where he ilves and 1s liked personally. His personal habits and bearing, like those of Gen. Lee, though no two men were ever created more unlike in tempera- ment, commend him tothe Virginian. Take him ont of politics, especially out of the polities of Gen. Mahone, and John Wise would be one of the most pe ae jen in Richmond. But after Mahone the deluge itself would be per- mitted to overtake Wise ag its first. victim, if Richmond could decree his fate. Bat Hich- mond, while it will give a jarge majority for Gen. Lee, will not decide the Issue in the stat The political managers ofboth sides are trot bled about the vote of the southwestern coun- Ues and the negro vote in the counties south of James river, Both sides concede the doubtful character of the contest in the valley counties &s already stated iu letters to THE Stax trom that section. Republicans confess the large ma- Jorities claimed for Lee by democratic estimates, With exceptions in counties of minor signi in middle Virginia, Both are doubtful asto Fat the Norfolk and Petersburg congressional istricts, where she negre vote Is mi will do, and both make hesitating estimates as to the southwest. Gen. Mahone's intimates claim the latter section with gains that would make » difference of 2,600 to the republicans on. la: year's vote, when Cleveland's majority, was 6.000 in the state. Well informed deniocrats elaim nearly all the counties in the southwest, conceding zewell county alone as likely to §ive a majority up to the standard which Gen. a lahone commanded in that section in the flush ys of his supremacy in Virginia politics. As to the black counties, democrats are distrust- ful of the pretended doubts of Gei Mahone’ followers as to their ability to secu: it solidly, Skilifully directed endeavors by the democratic leaders is now hRddressed to th the Norfolk and Petersburg districts. A full negro vote in that region for Wise ‘would give to the south- West the decision of the fight between Lee and Wise. In such case tne majority either way would be surprisingly ‘small—especially to those who have prophesied majorities reac! ing into the thousands. dien. Lee tay be elected by something like 10,000 majority; but it is not probubie. Wise may be elected by a much smaller m jority. His friends do not claim so much as do Gen. Lee's friends. But the legislature, which is to elect Gen. Mahone's successor, is in the mind of everybody; and nouney. claims to have absolute talth as to its com} lexion, save the friends of Mahone, They de: concessions like this of a cently published: “Mahone has to carry,’ be- sides republican counties, fourteen ties giving a democratic majority in the 1; tion, and of these nine gave less than ono hundred democratic majority and five litte more than one hundred.” If there be much urehaseable material in Virginia polities, and Frnccounts frova each side as to the ample pe- gunlary supplies of the other can be credited, there is fie! ek erat investment in many counties in Virgl inia politics having important bearing upon the control of the coming legisia- ture, which in December will elect a successor to Gen, Mahone, whose term will expire In March, 1887. Should the democrats win the wouid Barbour be Senutor? Not necessarily? but probably. He would for the tiird time Tepresent sucess over Mahone. He would epitomize all of democratic expectation, hope and realization of reliet-from the bondage of Mahone during woury years when the invad felt-hat, the ridiculously contrived pantaloons, and the wasp-waisted coat, ludicrous attire of phenomenally delicate physique, were symbols of despair to democrats, a8 to their antagonist they were as much symbolical of victory as the ray overcoat and cocked-hat of Napoleon to fie soldiers Of the first French republic. It would be difficult for Major Dantel’s oratory— oratory not sufficient to defeat Cameron for governor four years agosto beat such a record of practical achievement ay Barbour's. ‘The contest would hardly be sufficiently intense to permit the serious mention of Judge Staple’s pene a8 a compromise witha view to “harmon: in the party.” But ould Mahone win the legislature, that 4s, showld the legislature be republican, what then? If targely republican, Mahone ‘would have no trouble in securing re-election. Close, disputed as to organization and other prelimi: Rarles, aeeldents might prevail in the cholce of Senator. But so intense is party feeling in Virginia, both political organizations being wrought’to the bow-string tension, that there is no reasonable expectation that the decree of caucus will be disobeyed in elther party. For the present at least, the fight is between Bar- chairman of his parlg's tate omnes ast chairman o! party’s state comm » ans each the eymbol of ‘victory of defeat ior party on Tuesday next. X.Y.
