A ProLbable RIevval of Perman Inilmra
tirn to Amerlea.
[fail Maili Gsrette.]
There are at present again unques
tionable slgns that a very large emigrat
ing element Is smoldering in Germany
stimaulated by political and economical
embroilments which will break forth as
soon as sufficient hope and Inducements
offer themselves in transatlantic coun
tries in the eyes of the discontented
and desponding Germans. The gene
ral political aspect and the deoline of
German commerce and industry at the
present period are, observes Consul
Kruge, such that an emigration on a
large scale must be the natural conse
quence of the ruling state of affairs.
Among other illustrations of the causes
of a desire on the part of the Germans to
leave their native land, Consul Krugý
mentions the religious "Kulturkampf,"
which, he says, in its practical reslt
brought home by degrees to the Roman
Cathollo population in an irritating,
harassing form. Between the priests
on the one hand and the government on
the other the lives of the Roman Catho
lic peasantry are made one of "perfect
torment;" and these people naturally
desire to leave that country where,
rightly or wrongly, they believe
their religion attacked or en
dangered. The relations between
France and Germany also act power
fully to promote emigration, and
the huge expenses of maintaining
the armn)y, heoiles a navy of considlerable
size, contributlle to swell the emigration
tendency of the country. Consul Kruge
thinks that if the Anstrallan colonies
care to have the largest piortilon of the
coining German emigation, at no time
have they had a better chance of cre
ating an extensive InovemIent to their
shores than at present. In the mean
time, Dr. IEngcl, the Director of the Bu
renu of Statisti.cs at Berlin, estimates
the loss in capital of every German soul
emigrated at 650 thalers (Prussian) or
£97 10s. In lllustrating the loss to Ger
many by emigration D)r. Engel points
out likowise that the old and lufirm
people do not emigrate. but that Ger
many has given within 276 years consiel
erall over 1,00O0,o00 of strong men to
the United States of America alone, and
that the Kingdom of Prussia has lost
within the same time 500,0)00 soldiers.
THlE 0'3HER WORLD.
When a man is put into the grave and
mankind lcave him, he hears the noise
they makte in walkiug away. Then two
angels come to the dead man black in
color, bu- having blue eyes. The namo
of one is Monkir anti cf the other Nakir.
They cause thedead man to sit up In his
grave, ani say to him: " What was your
opinion about Mohammed ?" Then the
person, if he be a Moslem, will say, "I
believe in Mohammed." Then will he
be struck with an iron hammer; and he
will roar out so as to be heoard by all an
imals, except men and genii. Then the
ground will be ordered to close upon
him and break his shidle; and turn his
right side to left, and his left to his
right. Also for the grave of each un
believer, there are appointed ninety ser
pents to bite him to the day of resurret -
tion, any one of which being upon
earth would blast it. The day of
resurrection is preceded by the coming
of A nt.ichrist. Antichristis blind of one
e% e, and hag a great deal of hair falling
abut his f- e; and he brings with him
the resemblances of paradise and hell.
But that which seems like paradise is in
truth, hell tire; and that which he shall
say is hell is, in fact, paradise. Me will
come out of a road between Syria and
Irak, and will move over the earth
swiftly "like rain followed by wind."
For such tribes as believe on him Anti
christ will order the earth, and it will
produce verdure; and in the evening
their cattle will come to them with
higher humps upon their backs than
they went out with in the morning; and
their udders will be full. But as for
those tribes who do not believe in Anti
christ their lands will be stricken with
desolation, and they will be afflicted
with drouth and famine.
The order of chivalry which contains
the greatest number of Jews is the
Order of the Cross of Christ, of Por
tugal.

that on several ccasicnrs lehara has mis

Having devoted the above space tr a re
view of thme situatinrU i New York, I nowdesire
to obtain for a few moments the distingdlshed
attention of the pmoof reader of the D~meo
MA'r respecting a matter of personal import.
I recent y wrote that "Nicolas Herkimer, with
riii p-i-o-n-a-e-r-s at his back," had, on a cer
tain memorable oeem.son, "given battle to a
full thousald of Tories rind Indians, led by
Ilrmndt and .fohnnRso." Imagine mny aston
ishment., not to say chagrlan, to ascertain
from thn proof reader of the I)SMoomen'r that
the sturdy helrkimer was sustainel in
that trying hour by ": 5i p-r-i-so-n-e-r-s.
Ordinarily. I might not feel particularly
movedl by muRih anI (i'rrence. But the Bat
tle of Ortikany is a pet battle of mine. My
lineal ancestors "fit into it" and its trali
tions are among the earliest recollections of
my childhroid such traditions as a baby
boy hears from the lips of his great-grand
parents, respecting the herolism of their
parents and own munles in times d#th tatled
men's o ThaiA
indit i`know how to surrender. The events
of that day proved that their knowledge was
limited to the simple arts of flghting and
d(ying. Thefy did not, it would seem, possess
even skill enough In the priwmer busi
ness to toake any. Not knowing how to
surrendler themselves, they seem to have
been ulnable to comprehend the true meaning
of anyblody else's slrrender and so, imbted
with the primitive ldea that "o cne an enemy
always ail ,n ery," or with thle other anli
equally crude notiotn that " da d.nl Tory was
the next best thing to a live Whig" --an one of
the sfta.ch old patriots of fthe ibLvrolition once
phrate l it they ince.,nit ineitly slow all who
camer in thiir waiy.
Thus my frir',I, the Iroorf read.r of the

The Italc, of Home speake in the
following terms of the letter lately ad
dressed by Count de Chambord to the
Pope: "Bo meeh has been said recently
o the _proeeedings of the different
brcch Uthoief parties with the Holy
ISee, that we have thought it necessary
to obtain some e.eet infortnation on
the aWbjeet. lardinal Ouibert and the
Papal Nunelo in Paris had, after the
15th of May, adlocated and brought,
about the triertpb of a policy favorable'
to Marshal de MeoMahon. ertou ne
Sgotiations took place, and it was agreed
! that the Catholice should endeavor to
obtain the election of Conservative
Deputies without regard to the party
to which they mighL belong. lostruo
tions in that sense were to be subse
quently ootammnuieated to all the bieh
ope of the clergy.
The egiItimite~ did not look favorably
on the *oloigs of the Archbishop of
Ptlris, who appeared to be more devoted
to the Marshal than to the party, and
com lained to the Papal Nunclo, MgIt
Meglia. The latter, between whom and
gr. Guibept there is no greet sympa
thy, sided with the malcontents. To
prevent the divilsion assuming any
great proportions, the Cardinal Arch
bilephop left Immediately for Bomene
where he a.pForeheanded the Baron Baude
might migh turn the seale in favor of
the Legitmisets. That step tlitated the
partisans of Henry V. Evidently, the
Uardinal was laborlin for the govern
ment of Marshal de MaoMhon : there
fore the Cardinal to leave him a clear
field, summoned the Freneh ambsesa
dore to the Holy 8ee back to Paris.
Cardinal Outibert was successful, and,
in oonsequence of his solloltatione the
Vatican consented to invite the elergy
to support tile candidates of the govern
ment on condition that the latter should
follow a line of conduct favorable to
the Interests of the Holy iee.
The Legittlists and the Monapartlsta
suspected the reeults of Cardinal Go.
bert's misestoa, and appealed to the Vat
loan for direct support, but the Pope
held firm and confined himself to
preaching ooneord among the rival Con
servative parties. The Bonapartiats
then declared that they could not lose
the opportunity of manifestin them
selves and preparing for 8lee. That at
titude of the Imperiallsts alarmed the
Legitimists, who induced Count de
Chambord to write to the Pope to re
quest him to say a word in their favor
if he did not wish to see their cause se
riously oompromised. Plus IX. replied
a few days back, to the letter of Counot
de Chambord remarking to him that
the only possible and useful course ia
the present circumstances was to pre
serve a complete understandin betwesa
all partles friendly to the Vat
the instlgation of '
sal
not to de lare himself more
explicitly than he has done. At the

lets is considered more probable than
that of the Legitimists,

The Democratic State Convention
nominated yesterday as the Democratio
candidate for Governor Joseph H. Wil
liams, of Augusta. Mr. Williams the
nominee, is a resident of this city, a
man of respectability, education, wealth,
and a lawyer by profession. In politiCs
he has been Republican, Liberal Ite
publican and Democrat. In 18i7 he was
elected President of the Senate, and
upon the resignation of Hannibal Ham
lin as Governor, Mr. Williams became
by virtue of his office Acting Governor
of the State. The same year Lot M.
Morrill was elected Governor by the
iRpublicans, after which Mr. Williams
gradually disappeared as a Republictn
leader. In 1873 he was supported as the
Liberal RIepublican candidate for Gov
ernor, receiving, however, but 2100 votes.
He has before this been mentioned as
the Democratic candidate for Governor.
Last, fall he voted for Samuel J. Tilden
for Piresident, and this served to seotre
him the nomination this year.

Gen. Le Due. the Commissioner of
Agricultural Affairs has for some time
been engaged in the consideration of
important matters affecting the sugar
interests of the United States, He
believes that there can be a sating of
more than sixty millions of dollars a
year to this country by the production
of the sugar at home that is now
imported from abroad. The Commi
sioner is in correspondence with sugar
planters and others in the South and
Southwest, and has also received Infr
matlon from the growers of sugar-beit.
There is a general agreement among
planters and others to the effect that.
there can be a much heavier produe
tiurn of sugar in this country than there
is at present, and all who have commu
nicated with the Commissioner on the
subject avow their earnest anxiety tq
give him all the benefitr, of their experf
ence on this subject, and assist him in
his efforts wherever they can.

with four counties to hear from, Charles
ton, 38,089; Clarksburg, 30,734; Martins
burg, 7844. Three of these counties,
Clay, McDowell and Roane, are in the
Third Congressional listrlct, and cast
in the presidential election, 2039 votes.
The other county, Webster, is in the
Second Congressional District, but bor
ders on the Third District, and has
doubtless voted for Charleston, which
will perhaps have amajority of 20.0 over
both competitors,and will consequently
be the permanent capital after 1885, un
less the Legislature should recede from
its action.
