On account of the immense immigration, the steerages of Atlantic stsamers bave been gener- ally crowded the presont season; hence the enforcement of the law on the part of the government. On the Gther hand, the agents of the steam- ship lines claime that they bave in- fringed no law. More than this, they aeert that the United States govern- meut has no right t> interfere with the pamenger or other arrange- ments of inward-bound foreign ves- sels as respects either freight or pas- sengers, In the interest of humanity this vuestion, if it can be no other way, ought to be settled by an iuter- national commistion.

This includes the eolid delegations from New York, Pennsylvanis, Alsbums, Arkansas, Kentucky, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Ari- zona, Utah and Washington Terri- tories, and four votes from Connecti- cut, two from Deleware, twelve from Georgia, two from Indiana, nine from Maryland, sight from Massachusetts, seven from Mississippi, six from New Jorssy, fourteen from Tennessee, three from Wiscousic, one from Wyoming and one fromthe District of Columbia. Lonisiaua and Colorado are yet to hold conventions, and the Grant or- gans claim the twenty-two votes of there two states, which would give Grant 431 votes. The number neces- sary to a choice is 379. That would leave Grant 52 votes to spare. On the other band a defection of twenty- ssven delegates would leave him in the minority. Now, we do not concede Colorado and Louisisna. Graut may secure tome votes in Louisiana, but the chances are that Colorado will eni an uninstructed an delegationto Chicago. Suppose, howev- er,that both Colorado and Louisiana go solid for Gragt, the probabilities are that he will Tose more than twenty- seven votes in New Yorkand Pensyl- vanis alone, while the estimate of his strength in the southrrn states, especi- ally North Carolina, Georgia, Dele- ware and Maryland is decidedly un- reliable. It is slso exceedingly doubt- fal that Grant will secure eight votes in Massachusetts, four in Connecticut, or three in Wisconsin. The extrava- gant estimates of the Grant organs are gotten up for the purpose of stam- peding weak-kuesd delegates, who want to be with the majority. Had the contest bnuun the supporters and "Pm ex-president been simpl; h ween favorite candidates, . stampede to Grant might have easily been effected. There is, however, something more than mere personal preference in this contest for the presidency. It is a conflict of forces representiog on the o3¢ band the deisdd Tor a strong man at the hesd of the national gov- ernment; on . the other, s protest azainat the departure from a time- honored i agaiast the one- man power; tends to imperialize our republic. .The men who entertain anti-third-term views cannot be stam- peded into ¥be Grant-camp by fear of WWIIIMME,,W”M be bulldozed by A GRAVE BLUNDER. Governor Nance committed a grave blunder when he honored the requisi- tion for militia by private citizens of Omaha. As commander in ohicf of the military torces of the state, the Governor is empowsr.d to call out the militia to suppress insurrection, inve- sion orreteilion. This p-wiris, how- evcr, only to b exerciced when the civil authoritics have exbausted their power to preserve the peace aud main- tain order. In other words, a lawful call for military must come from the loosl county and municipal authorifies. The city of Omaba is provided by chsrter with an exscutive head called maycr, who is empowered snd re- quired to protect the lives and prop- erty of ctz-ns within the limits of a police force, placed st his disposal, snd in extraordinary emergencics the city council may en- roll acorps of special policemen to suppress riotous demonstrations and maintain order. There is also in this county a sheriff, authorized and re- quired by law t> arrest all violators of the peace, and in emergencies to employ as many deputies as he may deem necersary to disperse mobs and bring violators of the law to jus- tice. It appears that neither the magor of Omaba or the sheriff of Doug- las cousty have called for military in- torference, but the governor has seen fit to respond to a requisition of & pri vate citizen with an order for mi and the state has been put to the ex- perse of travsporting this military force from Waboo and Colum- bus when there is no neces- sity whatever for their presence. There are two well orgavized and fully-equipped military companies in this city, aod if the police and sheriff were unable to maintsin pesce, they were ample for protecting the smelting works against "any mob. Why, then, | ¢ send mxh!u from abroad! Governor ususlly very deliberate and cautious, but in this instance he was a little too prompt. Besides being without warrant of law, this ca'ling out af the militia has created s very bad Impression abroad. It has been tel- egraphed all over the country that Omaba was under mob rule, that a bloody riot was imminent, acd that the military had to protect our city from destraction and mob violence. That is not a very complimentary ad- vertitement to say the least. Tha only grounds for apprehending sn outbresk was the advent of the arme1 negro laborers imported by the Smelting Works proprietors, who evi- dently cxpected a bloody confliot. The fact that the strikers did not resort to force, but Tmerely sought to convert the negro laborers to their views shows that these strikers are Dot as bloodthirsty as they have been represented. Had they raeorted to force we apprehend Mayor Chase and Sheriff Guy would have done their duty. th's city Wi are assured by the leaders of the Smelting works strike that the workingmen are ready at eny time to submit to an adjustment of theie dif- forences with tho Smelting works proprietors by arbitration, and tbey are ready to pledge that they will abide by the award. Di. Mivwex calls for troops to pro- tect the smelting works, but if azy- body down southshould call for troops to pretect the lives of defonseloss ne- grocs from masked assassins he would protest against bayonet rule.

The wave of ‘‘high barometer” which last week descended from Brit- ish America and covered the northern portions of the country served to drive Dack the rain-bearing winds from the Gulf of Mexico and to add atleast four days to the already long spell of dry weather east of the Alleghenies. On Saturdsy this immente wave of high pressure covered most of tha country east of the Mississippi, and its crest rested over Lake Hu- ron, with the barometer reading as high as 30.50 inches—a very remarkable phenomenon for ‘ithe merrie month of May.” The conse- quence of this vast serial movement from the dry parts of the continent and like rain averting conditions make the present month 80 far one of the dryest on record in the middle states, to which fact is partly due the spread of the terrible forest fires. The nnr- mal precipitation in the last s months over the middle At tlc states, 38 determined from many years’ observaiions, is 3.65 inches, but it is qn-mms.ble whether tae rainfall for the present month as yet reached half an inch from New York to Delaware, the amount reported in a part of this re- gion falling below half an inch. In 1871 the Smithsonian Institution, lnmmlng'np its raintables, found that in the State of New York the average number of rainy days to b expected in May is ten,” snd we may infer from this that there has recently been a de- ficiency in this stats. But as the great mass of New York rain-fall data point to an almost invariable excess of :l:l: in June and July, the present ciency may and probably will soon bemadoup. LT The drought which has marked the present month s> far, in_the middle atates, doas not avgur unfavorably for the agricultural prospects. May of last year was. ove of the dryest ever { known, and the deficiency of rain was “ general over the whole country east of the Rocky mountains, ameunt: the | | | producs ina short | § ing to 1.95 inches in the mid- dle states, 2.45 in New Eng- land, 1.31 l‘nug the lakes and 1.20 in the Ohio Valley, with exceptions only iu Tennessee, Minnesota aud the Upper Mississippi Valley. But the deficiencies were made up in the sub- sequent months, and the crops of 1879 were almost unprecedentedly good. We may expect them {o be this_year #s good, unless recent crop reports are at fault. The time for the rain-laden summer cumalus clouds can not be far off. RROW ESCAPE. SOMNAMBULISM ~ WHICH MIGHTILY HELPED A YOUNG PHYSICIAN. ‘Tanciseo Post. The anaual recurrence of Lincola’s r(hday sets afloat mew invoices of at emancipator, the mujority of which ero obviously smoking hot fcom the pen of the hard- pushed paragraphor. Thee is nothing about them, however, 8> intrinsically remarkable as the fict that they are all reprinted with paioful A)llmmty, particularly in the English papers, by the reaers of whom they are et ly regarded as gospel verity. Willi to stull further lighten the labors o( our trausatlantic brethren of the shears, we contribute the following p'ausible incident to the general fund, merely asking eastern contemporaries to cut off this preliminary paragraph in roprinting, and send us by wire the edizorial comment of the first London papers copying the story. As is well known, the cares and anxieties of the great war so weighed upon President Lincoln’s m'nd as to throw his system into a condition of nervous sensibility of the most pa'nful description. He found it almost im- possivle to sleep, and, when slumber ceoasionally, through sheer weakn visited his Testless couch, he wou'd arise aud wander about the house, his mind s'ill busy with the questions of national expeliercy. In fact, Lin- coln becae, ia t'ms, a confirm=d s.m- nambulst, and the most assiduous exs (n the part of Mrs. Lin- end the attendants was sary o insure his sefety. night, however, just sfter the Fort Pillow massacre, they umit- ted to a‘tiwch the small jack hain with which the ankle of the president was vsual’y fact:ned to the leg of his bed and about five 8. m., he was dis- ¢ overed to bo missing. ~ For a long time (}e anxious scarch of the dietrac:- ed hcusehold revealed nothing until ony of the gardeners happened to thivk of the ro.f, and there, sure enough, th.y discovercd “Father Abrsham,” ¢s he was sffectionately called by those absut him, recliving at lexgth cn the very edge of the cor- ner of the west wing, at which dizzy be'ght from the ground he wes slum- b rag peacefully. How ho had de- tcended from the roof coping above to his pe'ilous position wa3s one of thae wyetorics solved oply in the lwd of dreams. It was evilent st a glance, however, that it would be impossible to reach the nar- row ledge whereon he lay without touching the elseper, and all could see that the slightest change in the centre of pravity in awakening weu'd result inirstaat destrustion. The news of the presicent’s terrible position spread like wildfice, even at that hour, and & 0n a dense crowd gathered Leneath iu the gsrlens, awaiting the denove- me't with bstel bresth. By this tms a hok acd ladder company, n‘h-ch bad been sent for, arrived, snd D-gan preparing their ladders for erec- tin to the wall beneath the mow plainly revea'ed figure, although how t) p'eoe them against the building and not wake the sleeper was the upper- most thought. At this moment a yo'mg pa'e faced regimental surgeon appeired cn the roof, and, m ng the crowd to even greater tilence, leaned aver the edge and procceded to y lower over the faco beneath a s.r'ng, suspend:d to which was a largs sponge. This was filled with chlor f'rm Inafew moments the oblivi ous presilent was rendered st Il more unznscious, and socn his rig d body was safely approached and lowered to Le pivement. The next n finis’ thi rning (it won't do to istorical episode without a poeiic climax) the ready. witted young surgeon received the prevident’s com- miscion as the surgeon ganeral of the Un't:d States army. Of cource we refer to Gen. Barnes On last_Sunday evening Ingersoll entertained more pacple for full two hours and a half than were ever be- fore packed within the walls of Booth's theatre, New York. Every possible seat was occupied, and all possible ding room utilized and thousands clamored for admission in vain. Iz was Iogersoll's first airing of a lecture, which he calls “What Sh-ll 1 Do to be Saved!” It was positively electrio in effect, according to all the New York papers' reports—humorous, declamatory and pathetic ‘upon occas- ion, and all the periods well point- ed. The lecturer pointed out what a great many people were doing to be saved, and shook his head at all the s mothods, saying, “Tt won't do!” Hia plan, which he initroduced at the close of his discourse, is very short and simple. It consists in preserving bealth in body and mind, and tran mll!:lng health da'lm the line of de- scendents; in prov dmg aod preparing ood things 1o oty and cating ot 1 demons of hunger and starvation; in caltivating cheerfulness instead of morbidity, and silencing the eternal talk of coffins, shrouds, tombstones and the worm that never dies.
