This, considering the general rate of wages in the country, is too much for labor so Jiitle skilled ; buat there are not many men thai are willing to lead a miner's life; hence thé rate keeps high. Bui John Chinaman seems not to be nice in the condilions of his life so that he earns money. Put him ia the mines, therefore, at balf the prezent rate of wages and give the consumers of coal part of the benefit of this cheap labor. Tat Income Tax.—Thi burden upon the people bas reached at last the end of ita tether. The Senate yesteriay by a vote of thirty-four to twenty-three agrevd to strike out of the tax tariff bill the sections containing a tax upon incomes. With this ‘action the House will concur, Although the House voted to continue that tax, it has since been pretty well agreed that it erred in doing so and will not regret the occasion that gives it enother vote on this important subject. The people may be satisfied that the income tax is no more. odious InuxovsanLe Biunperine.—From the As- sociated Press Agency we have received the following despatch : Mr, Ashbury’s yacht mhria lef.

NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1870, Immigration—The Advantages and Dravw- {Ing jin a sotilomont, can at once Inthe South ° backs ef Our Southora States. From’ Afteen to twenty thousand European immigrants per week, chiefly from Germany and Ireland, continue to be landed at Castle Garden, the bulk of the German element mov- ing on at once to the far West, and the Iriah element remaining mostly here and in other cities of the ast: Considerable accessions to our population also continue to be made from European shipments to Quebec, Boston, Phita- delphiu, Baltimore, Charleston and New Orleans. At the same time, from the New England States and the contral ‘Northern States, even to Illinols, and from our seaboard Southern States down to Louisiana, there is a steady stream of emigration to.the westward of young. and vigorous native Americans, hopeful of fortune or distinction, or both, in some part of all that vast region of our new States and Territories weat of the Mississippi to tho Pacific ocean, from the British Posses- sions north down to the'plains of Mexico. Thus, since the suppression of our late Southern rebellion, from immigrants from our older States and from Europe, the increase in the population and wealth of Min. nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Texas has been really astonishing. Arkansas, with natural advantages of soil, climate and productions, and cheap lands equal to any of these States, remains com- paratively at a standstill, bocause she is de- ficient in local railway facilities and railway connections with the great through lines to New York. The great increase of the popula- tion of Texas, with some accessions from Germany, is mainly due to immigrants from the older Southerm States, drawn to the ‘Lone Star” by the attractions of her cheap and fine cotton and sugar lands and her splendid prairie ranges for the cheap raising of thousands of cattle, horses, &e, But, excepting Texas, the heavy currents of emigration from the States to the eastward and from Europe have set into and are still setting into the new States and Territories of the Northwest, this side the great plains, and beyond them in the new mining Territories and States of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and California. Even Dacotah, on the line of the Upper Missouri, is thriving, and Arizona, in spite of the, Apache Indians, is beginning to boast in her Territorial capital of sewing machines, Sunday schools, hooped skirts, pianos, newspapers, billiard saloons and sherry cobblers, The gold and silver mines of these naw States and Territories tell tho story of the tidal waves of immigrants from the East which are rapidly building up prosperous commu- nities in deserts heretofore pronounced worth- leas, if not absolutely uninhabitable. . The discovery of these mines made the building of the Pacific Railroad a work of magic hardly less wonderfal than the miraculous achiove- ments of the lamp of Aladdin; and the moving masses of men, women and children to the marvellous regions opened to the world by that road remind us of the migratory nations in times past from Asia into Burope, And still these masses of moving nationalities are dvifting into those new gold and silver mines and to the lands of the Upper Mississippi and its tributaries, whose abounding crops of wheat and corn and convenient railroads make these lands more attractive to men with families than the silver mountains of Nevada or the gold gulches of Colorado. But south of Pennsylvania and the Ohio river, from the Atlantic westward beyond the Mississippi, there are the most inviting on the Continent or in the world Europeans and Northern men in warch of good and cheap living for them- selves= and comfortable homes for their childvea, Delaware and Northern Maryland, the whole of Virginia and West Virginia, the elevated and wholesome westera divisions of North and South Carolina, and the moun- tainous divisions of Northern Georgia and Alabama, and the northern part of Mississippi, and the whole of the frnitful States of Tonues- see and Kentucky, offer cheap farms, sure crops and fair prices to the European or “Yankeo” settler; and they offer, too, a cli- mate where the frosts of winter touch but lightly, and where the heats of summer are never so severe as under the boasted skies of {taly. From North Carolina southward along the seacoast to Louisiana, and extending back a hundred miles, more or less, we have a bolt of low Jands and sandy pine barrens, a region sultry, swampy and malarious, But this belt embraces the most famous corn, cotton and rice lands of the Atlantic States. Its climate, however, which is really good for the African race, is deadly to the Kuropean. . That which in the air is poison to the blood of the Euro- pean is nutriment to the African. Hence in the conrse of time these seaboard lowlands will undoubtedly be chiefly occupied by the Afvican and Chinaman, while the more salu- brious districts we have described will be al- most exclusively occuped by the white races. regions to 8 But why is it, with all the attractions we have suggested, that these inviting districts of the South, abounding in the wealth of fer- tile fields, forests, mines and never-fatling streams for water power, and possessing a genial and wholesome climate, and withal a fair supply of railway facilities—why is it that the fair and fertile lands in these inviting latitudes still go begging? How is it that the great currents of emigration from Burope and the North sweep by the South to the far West? The Western gold and silver mines do not wholly answer these questions. The unsettled and still repelling condition of South- ern society, as between whites and blacks, late masters and late slaves, ex-rebels and Unionists, native Southern politicians and Northern carpet-baggers, is the explanation. The life of » man is still snbject to too many chances of death in the South, and the chaos resulting from a revolution tearing up the old order of society by the roots is still too appa- rent; and hence there is no general move- ment of Europeans or Northerners to fill up the wasie places of the South, But this state of things cannot last much longer, and, with | the full re-establishment of law and order, the splendid bargains now offered in Southern lands, mines, mills, &e., will be gone. This, then, is the time for Europeans and Northern men to secure possessiuns in the South for a bagatelle, which will be a fortuno to their children, Men of the same tovatily, with families ia tho North or in Lucgpe, ky combin- make community of their owa and a little home market, and Sonthern Jand owners should encourage this policy of settléments in communities and villages. Congrese—The Income Tax Repeated by the Henate—The Georgia Bill, The Senate, having full fatth in the remark #0 frequently uttered by Kuropeans, that Americans think too much of business and too litite of pleasure, yesterday passed a bill desig~ nating December 26, June 1, July 4 and Thanksgiving Day as public holidays in the District of Columbia. ‘The House wilt doubt- legs acquiesce in this action of the Senate, and the days mentioned will hereafter be observed as public holidays, not .only in the District of Columbia, but generally throughout the coun- try. Mr. Sumner's resolutions on Cuban affairs were taken up and discussed, but action on the subject was deferred in order to allow Mr. Casserly an opportunity to make @ specch in opposition. Consideration of the Tax- ‘Tariff bill was resumed, when the sections to continue the income tax were stricken out. As this action materially affected the opera- tions of the bill, necessitating the restoration of other taxes, its further consideration was postponed in order to give the Finance Com- mittee time to consult upon the proper course to pursue to provide for additlonal revenue equal in amount to that lost by abolition of the income tux. The Senate bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to license pleasure yachts was taken up and passed by the House. Tho bill is very favorable in all its provisions, and permits yachts bolonging to foreign yacht clubs to enter or leave American ports without enter- Ing or clearing at the Custom House, The House then resumed consideration of the Georgia bif, which was thoroughly recon- structed and passed. The aew bill simply pro- vides that Georgia, having complied with the reconstruction acts of Congress and ratified the fourteenth and fiftoonth amendments to the constitution, is declared entitled to representa- tion in Congress; {it is-also provided that the people of Georgia have the right to elect members of the General Assembly as provided for in the State constitution, The effect of this bill is most unfavorable to the Bullock interest, and will fcustrate all the deep laid schemes to continue himself and his black- and-tan legislators iv office in defiance ot the will of the people. The Ketcham “Seasation—Damon thins. The talk of the hour, and the last exploded bubble in Wall street, is the failure of young Ketchum and the sacrifice of his faithful friend and broker, Mr. James Boyd. On the pre- vious occasion, when Mr. Ketchum, who it appears is regarded as a kind of financial archangel in Wall street, got into a little diffi- culty involving « loss of millions to himself and tens of thousands to others who were not in his operations, he had no Damon to inter- pose between him and the condemnation which justice meted out. He evidently had no ‘“‘pal” with pluck and fidelity enough to serve him, “not for dollars and cents, but purely out of affection”—to place him, in fact, in the high position to which ‘this genius entitles bim.” In his late disaster, however, he found this stanch friend and brother fin Mr, Boyd, between whom and Ketchum, Boyd says “there existed a tie as necessary to each other. as air and water to either of us.” Well, Boyd and his fortune are gone down Into the fathom- loas depths, for a time at least. His hard-earned store has been swept away even as a burnt offering upon the altar of friendship. It is but a poor consolation to know that Mr. Ketchum’s fortune, so recently and rapidly inade “‘on the street,” is diminished also. Damon and Pythias have suffered in « fraternal embrace upon the same scaffold, because in this case—unlike the crowning point in the drama—Pythiag did not come up to time. No doubt there are plenty of such cases occuring in Wall street from time to time; but they do not acquire the proportions of a sensa- tion only because the magnitude of the amounts involved is not so startling, nor are the chief actors so well known in financial operations of this character as Mr. Ketchum. it is not necessary to enter into the merits of this perilous romance. | It seems to be a trans- action between a principal and his broker, and they must share the misfortune—such as it is—alike. We hope nobody else will be much hurt, ia which event there will not be a great deal of public sympathy felt for any evil which may bofall the stock aud gold gamblers of Wall street, and Py. Oné Mork Cror or Bomns.—The police of Limerick, Ireland, discovered on Thursday a deposit of loaded bombs in an unoccupied house. The bomb crops also seem to come as the diseases and revolutions do, under the goverament of some natural law that gives them an epidemic character; just as the cholera breaks out in India and is heard of almost simultanoously from several cities, so, | the bombs break out in different points in Europe, The district most afflicted with this occasional disorder is comprised within a line bounding Italy, France and Ireland—a line, in fact, that gives these three countries a noble unity with regard to bombs. In the production of bombs they are one, and in the fact that the bombs are made and deposited ninety-nine times where they are once effective they are one also. Are all these people less despe- rately savage when they come to discharge their infernal machines than they think they are while making them ? Aw tat Faors.—The Tribune wants all the facts embodied ip the testimony given before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs by Colonel Jaquess, in reference to Buchanan, Seymour, Greeley, Jacob Thomp- son, C. C. Clay, the Niagara Falls peaco makers, the rebel phosphorus incendiaries and other persons and things. All the facts will be found in the report of the Senate Commit- tee, as published in the HrRratp of Wednesday last, A Goop BaLanck—The gold balance of one hundred and eleven millions in the national | Treasury. The government is getting on well enough, indeed, to turn this balance into the pockets of the people by a reduction of their taxea (including the abolition of the income tax) to tho extent of a huadred millions, Why nots | Nitee.Glyoortae. The nitro-glycerino which caused the very destructive explosion at Worcester was ‘‘smug- gled” into the car. Railroad companies natu- rally refuse to carry this dangerous substance’ knowingly. Express companies will not receive it. All the ordinary means of trans- portation from point to point over great dis- tances are closed to deslers in this substance. What is the consequence? Does any one sup- pose that it is not carried because all these people refuse to carry it? It is only necessary to roflect that it is not made at the many and widely separated places at which it is in con- stant use to see the answer to thia, It is con- stantly smuggled into the cars, and, worse still, upon steamboats, perhaps, worst of all, upon ocean steamers. The firat consequence of this fs that it is not handled as such stuff should be, and mere ignorancs of the pre- sence of the article gives it greater danger even than it would otherwise have. The peo- ple who send this substance abroad in this way feel under the less restraint for this rea- son—if it goes safely there is no inquiry into the oaturo of the package containing it, and if it does nat go safely then the whole pack- age and many others are so effectually de- stroyed that it fs impossible to identify any, or trace the offending one toitsowner, This gives immunity from danger to those persons, and they evideatly have no conscience in the mat- ter. There is no doubt that this substance, 60 capable ‘of causing great disasters, is con- stantly and at all times in transit through this city. Itis a smuggled transit, of course, and all the more dangerous on this account. It is known that it fs usually sent through this city packed in carpet baga, and the carcless han- dling of one of these bags on a car might at any moment cost a hundred lives, It is neces- sary that the authorities should investigate this subject very closely, and that the law should make the smuggling of nitro-glycerine into cars or boats used for travel a felony, or’ should at least attach to it such @ penalty as may afford a salutary example at any time an offender shall be caught. Erwemto Diseases AND QUARANTINE. — Cholera is raging at different points in Cuba; smallpox is very severe there, and the yqllow fever has made its ‘customary appearance, This will be interesting news for persous who contemplate trips that way in filibustering expeditions. But it is not without a vory lively interest also to the people of this city, when we consider that a groat many mer- chants trading with Cuban ports are just now raising a clamor for the relaxation, if not the abolition, of quarantine. These rich mer- chants, if they make a hundred thousand dollars on sugar, as they often do in a single operation, or the same on coffee, can step away nicely to Newport, Saratoga, or even to Switzerland, and what then will they care for the cholera their ships brought, which will rage mostly in Roosevelt strect? Not a but- ton will they care, taking their ease at Vevay. It is to be hoped that the quarantine authorities will care as little for their noise as they care for the public health. Their clamor is for freedom to import disease; the cry of the people is for vigilance in keeping it out, Women’s Rients iy Exananp—Lapy AM- BERLY'’S PLaAt¥FORM.—Lady Amberly, daugh- ter-in-law of Earl Russell, has come out strongly in behalf of Women’s rights, and this is her platform:— 1. Educational equality for women, 2. Their admission to ali tie professions. “. The same individual rights to hold property as. men. 4. Widows the proper guardians of their children. 5. Woman suffrage and social equatliy. 6. No legal subordination in marriage. 1. Equal wages for equal work, A strong platform, this; and when in Eng- land an influential lady of the aristocracy takes hold of the movement it mvans some- thing. Meantime, in this country the women’s rights agitation, under the management of a lot of old grannies ia breeches, seems to be dragging heavily, and the worst of it is the great mass of our women think the movement a humbug, or they are too busy with the latest fashions to care a fig for woman suffrage. Tux Praag or Grassiorrrrs (the regular locust plague) has returned to plague the Mormons. There is danger, too, if some eff- cient means for their extermination be not adopted, that these grasshoppers or locusts will, before many years are over, abolish Mor- mon polygamy by starving it out; but, as this will only be one nuisance abating and taking the place of another, we hope that the Mor- mons will abate the grasshopper nuisance, and that Congress will abate, in some quiet way, the polygamy nuisance of the Mormons, It would be a national’ disgrace to leave Mormon polygamy. to the chances of the grasshoppers, and to prevent a general famine some day in the far West from these swarming millions of grasshoppers the government should offer pre- miums for their destruction, for we beliave that modern science can destroy them. Av Lasr.—The fate of the murderer Real is sealed. His last hope failed him, and he must pay the penalty of his crime. Yester- day the Court of Appeals affirmed the judg- ment of the lower court, and the Supreme Court is ordered to proceed in its execution, For nearly two years his friends have managed to stave off the mandates of the law, and no efforts were left untried to secure for him a new trial; but justice, though slow, fs like to be administered at last. Reoorper Waokerr yesterday dealt out to Michael Varley, brother of the notorious Reddy the Blacksmith the Justice lie so richly deserves for his complicity in the Burke-Her- nan shooting case.

Tax New Departmen’ JSusriox,—Attor- ney General Akerman will initiate the new “Department of Justice,” established by Con- gress, which comes into operation almost spon- tanvously with his owa wognimous confirma- tion by the Senate. ‘ Seanter Samner Right Again. As, in his groat specoh on the Alabame olaims, Senator Sumner has hit the natl on the head in his “resolutions declaring the sentiments of the people of the United States concerning Spain sod her island colonies lying in Ameri- oan waters.” The people of this country aro notindifferent to the barbarities whioh mark the conduct of the war in Cuba, on the part of Spain especially; they are pained to hear that Spain still cli ngs to the institution of African slavery; they do regret to witness the extraordinary efforts of the Spanish gov- ernment, by violence and blood, to malntain an unnatural jurisdiction over Cuba, and they do sympathize with the Cubsns struggling for their independence, and with the Spanish people, too, in their present efforts for liberal institutions; and it is right that Congress, in the namo of the American people, should speak these thelr sentiments to the existing Spanish government, These strong and emphatic resolutions, if passed by both Houses of Congress, and seconded by a polite but emphatio letter of instructions to Genoral Sickles from the Eresident, we can hardly doubt wilt bring Spain to reason. It is proper, at all events, that Spain should clearly under- stand the public opinion of the United States on the Cuban question; and these resolutions do not too strongly express It. Tus New Arrorvry Geyeran on Reoon- sravorion.—Coming from a State so difficult to reconstruct and control as is Goorgia, the views of the new Attorney Genoral upon these matiers are naturally looked for with much concern, Mr. Akerman evidently is a believer in the ‘immortality of States ;” that “once inthe Union always in the Union,” and consequently the Southern States have never severed their relations with the federal governthent, His theory is, the rebellion broke down the State government of Georgia and terminated its existence, but the existence of the Stato itself was not affected, and now it only remaias to build up the State govern- ment anew. Ia support of his theory Mr. Akerman shows that the continued existence of the rebel States has always been recog- nized by the general government; that they have in no case been allnded to as conquered or rebel territory, but as States, which indicates either an unpardonable confusion of terms or an acknowledgment that Georgia still is and ever has been “in the Union. * Tut Devarrmxenr o¥ Doo«s atill continues its labors, and yesterday beard the suggestions of s number of gentlemen who came forward with forms, plans and spocifications which they offered with a viow towards the improvement of our river front.
